Dear Sir:
Pursuant to Articles 9 and 10 of the Chilean Capital Markets Law (Ley 18,045 de Mercado de Valores), to the General Character Norm number 30 and to Chapter 18-10 of the Updated Compilation of Norms, duly authorized by the Board of Directors of Corpbanca, I hereby complement the material event reported to your Superintendence on November 29, 2013 as follows:
· | CorpBanca has received offerings for a possible merger of its business in Chile and abroad from prestigious and well known banks. |
· | CorpBanca is presently evaluating these offers with the assistance of international investment banks to identify an appropriate counterparty to such transaction and to define a transaction structure. As of the date hereof, CorpBanca has not entered into a binding agreement with any third parties concerning a possible transaction (other than confidentiality agreements). |
· | If any such transaction is executed and consummated, the Saieh group is expected to maintain an equity participation and will be active in the management of the combined business. |
CorpBanca will keep your Superintendency, the banks regulator and the market duly informed of any relevant event in this regard.
Sincerely,
