On December 14, 2016, Itaú CorpBanca published on its website the English translation of the consolidated financial statements of Itaú CorpBanca as of September 30, 2016 and as of December 31, 2015, and for the periods ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Itaú CorpBanca is the entity resulting from the merger of Banco Itaú Chile (Itaú Chile) with and into CorpBanca consummated on April 1, 2016 (“the Merger”). After the Merger, the surviving entity’s name changed to “Itaú CorpBanca”. The legal acquisition of Itaú Chile by CorpBanca is deemed a reverse acquisition pursuant to standard N° 3 of the International Financial Reporting Standards (or IFRS). Itaú Chile (the legal acquiree) is considered the accounting acquirer and CorpBanca (the legal acquirer) is considered the accounting acquiree for accounting purposes. Therefore, in accordance with IFRS after the date of the Merger, Itaú CorpBanca's historical financial information (i) reflects Itaú Chile - and not CorpBanca - as the predecessor entity of Itaú CorpBanca, (ii) includes Itaú Chile's historical financial information, and (iii) does not include CorpBanca's historical financial information.
