A.F.P. PROVIDA S.A. (NYSE: PVD) REPORTS A MATERIAL EVENT
Mr. Ricardo Rodriguez, Chief Executive Officer of AFP Provida, has reported a material event to the Superintendent of Pension (SP), to the Superintendent of Securities and Insurance (SVS) and to all the Chilean Stock Exchanges. This communication informed the following:
“Pursuant to the provisions of articles 9 and 10 of Law 18.045, and General Rule No. 30 of the Securities and Insurance Superintendency, and duly empowered, I hereby inform you, as a material disclosure, that in the Board meeting held on August 31 this year, the Board of Directors of AFP Provida S.A., (“Provida”), with the prior recommendation of the Directors’ Committee, approved the internalization of most of the support services subcontracted to the related company BBVA Servicios Corporativos Limitada on December 31, 2009.
The internalization of the services will be performed by:
(i) | The acquisition of 100% of the equity rights of BBVA Servicios Corporativos Dos Limitada, a company Incorporated after the division of BBVA Servicios Corporativos Limitada, which was exclusively assigned the workers who render services to Provida and the assets and liabilities necessary for such purposes. The price to be paid for the equity rights is M$36,643. As a result of the acquisition of the equity rights, BBVA Servicios Corporativos Dos Limitada will be dissolved and its assets, liabilities and workers will be incorporated into Provida; and |
(ii) | The amendment of the services rendering contract dated December 31, 2009, subscribed with BBVA Servicios Corporativos Limitada, for the purpose of reducing the rendered services, maintaining exclusively those that will not be internalized and reducing the annual cost from UF241,109,04, to UF41,932,01. |
It must be pointed out that the Board of Directors determined that the conditions of the operation are similar to those normally prevailing in the market and that it contributes to social interests.
Finally, the operation will have no material equity effects on Provida, since the total direct and indirect cost of the internalized services, plus the cost of the services that will remain with BBVA Servicios Corporativos Limitada, will be substantially similar to the cost that Provida would have paid for the externalization of all of such services to the aforementioned company, pursuant to the contract dated December 31, 2009”.
