CONSIDERING

That Law 67 of September 1, 2011, reformed Decree-Law 1 of July 8, 1999, and created the Securities Market Superintendence as an autonomous state entity, with legal personality, own assets, and administrative, budgetary, and financial independence.

That the Board of Directors, in accordance with Articles 5, 6, 10 (item 1), 19, and 20 of the Single Text of the Securities Market Law (hereinafter: Single Text), acts as the Highest Consultative, Regulatory, and Policy-Setting Body of the Superintendence and has among its attributes the power to adopt, reform, and revoke agreements that develop the provisions of the Securities Market Law.

That the Superintendence, by virtue of Article 3 of the Single Text, has the general objective of regulating, supervising, and auditing the activities of the securities market developed in the Republic of Panama or from it, promoting legal certainty for all market participants and guaranteeing transparency, with special protection of investors' rights.

That through Agreement No. 3-2021 of July 14, 2021, the special and abbreviated procedure for the registration of modifications to the terms and conditions of public offerings of securities registered with the Securities Market Superintendence was adopted, exclusively to modify the LIBOR reference rate and the margin (spread) and to determine the new reference rate and margin (spread) to be used for its replacement.

That Paragraph 4 of Article 4 of Agreement No. 3-2021 of July 14, 2021, established December 31, 2021, as the deadline for issuers to submit to the Securities Market Superintendence the public communication of material facts to obtain the Superintendence's approval, to initiate the special and abbreviated procedure for the registration of modifications to the terms and conditions of public offerings of securities registered with the Securities Market Superintendence, exclusively to modify the LIBOR reference rate and the margin (spread) to be used for its replacement.

That through Agreement No. 8-2021 of December 9, 2021, Paragraph 4 of Article 4 of Agreement No. 3-2021 of July 14, 2021, was modified, establishing an extension until June 30, 2022, as the deadline by which the issuer may submit to the Superintendence the public communication of material facts to obtain the Superintendence's approval, to initiate the special and abbreviated procedure for the registration of modifications to the terms and conditions of public offerings of securities registered with the Securities Market Superintendence, exclusively to modify the LIBOR reference rate and the margin (spread) and to determine the new reference rate and margin (spread) to be used for its replacement.

That in working sessions, the Board of Directors of the Superintendence considers it appropriate to grant an extension to the deadline by which issuers may avail themselves of the special and abbreviated procedure established in Agreement No. 3-2021.

That, for the reasons stated above, it corresponds to apply what is established in Article 326 of the Single Text, regarding the adoption of actions by the Superintendence that grant an exemption or eliminate a restriction, so that the provisions contained in Title XV of the Single Text, regarding the "Administrative Procedure for the Adoption of Agreements," are not applicable to this agreement.

Therefore, the Board of Directors of the Securities Market Superintendence, in exercise of its legal powers,
