As its Dividend Policy, the Company intends to declare and pay dividends in cash of at least 25% of the Company’s consolidated net profits based on the last audited financial accounts. The Board of Directors shall take into consideration the following at the time of decision making to distribute dividends:

• The availability of dividends from the Company’s subsidiaries.
• The declaration and payment of dividends should not cause the Company to breach any applicable laws or adversely impact on the equity growth requirements of the Company or its subsidiaries.
• Financial performance of the Company.
• General business and economic-financial conditions affecting the Company.
• Any other factors which the Board may deem relevant.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, under Bermuda Law, any dividend may only be declared and paid if (i) the Company is able to pay its liabilities as they become due, and (ii) the realizable value of its assets is not less than the aggregate value of its liabilities, issued share capital and share premium accounts. The Board of Directors may in its sole discretion declare and pay a dividend below 25%, if any of the aforementioned conditions are not met. Subject to the foregoing, it is expected that dividend payments are to be made once a year within ninety (90) calendar days of the meeting held by the Board to approve the dividend declaration. No interim dividends are to be paid. This policy has been in force since 2016 and it will continue to be applicable until amended or rescinded by the Board of Directors.

As a holding company, our ability to make dividend payments, if any, and to pay corporate expenses will depend upon the receipt of dividends and other distributions from our operating subsidiaries. Our principal operating subsidiaries are Banco de Credito del Peru (BCP Stand-alone), Banco de Credito de Bolivia (BCP Bolivia), Mibanco, Mibanco Colombia, Grupo Pacifico, Prima AFP, ASB Bank Corp. and Credicorp Capital. Subject to certain reserve and capital adequacy requirements under applicable regulations, we are able to cause our subsidiaries to declare dividends. If our subsidiaries do not have funds available, or are otherwise restricted from paying us dividends, we may be limited in our ability to pay dividends to shareholders. Currently, despite the minimum capital requirements, there are no restrictions on the ability of BCP Stand-alone, BCP Bolivia, Mibanco, Mibanco Colombia, Grupo Pacifico, Prima AFP, ASB Bank Corp. and Credicorp Capital to pay dividends abroad. In addition, our right to participate in the distribution of assets of any subsidiary, upon any subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization (and thus the ability of holders of our securities to benefit indirectly from such distribution), is subject to the prior claims of creditors of that subsidiary, except where we are considered an unsubordinated creditor of the subsidiary. Accordingly, our securities will effectively be subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries, and holders of our securities should look only to our assets for payments.

In addition, the value of any dividend paid by our operating subsidiaries that declare dividends in a currency different from Credicorp’s dividends (e.g. ASB Bank Corp., BCB Bolivia, Credicorp Capital Holding Chile, and Credicorp Holding Colombia) is subject to the impact of the depreciation of the dividend’s currency against Credicorp’s functional currency. This would have a negative impact on our ability to pay dividends to shareholders.

Furthermore, in accordance with the Company’s Dividend Policy, the Board held on December 23, 2021 resolved that Credicorp will declare dividends, if any, in the month of April or thereafter, once the Company’s subsidiaries have agreed the declaration and date of payment of any dividends in their respective shareholder and board meetings.

The following table shows cash and stock dividends paid by Credicorp in the period indicated:
