The Securities Market Superintendence (SMV) dismisses the appeal filed by Diviso Grupo Financiero S.A. against a sanction of 37.5 UIT for failing to timely present 2023 and 2024 financial statements and annual reports. The resolution confirms that the late submission of 2024 documents constitutes an omission rather than a late filing, thereby excluding the application of the Gradual Sanctions Regime which would have allowed a 50% reduction. The SMV upholds the original penalty, noting that while the subsequent submission serves as an attenuating factor, it does not alter the nature of the serious infractions or justify a different sanction tier.

III. EVALUATION OF THE ARGUMENTS EXPOSED
9. That, in the first place, it must be stated that consideration 29 of the SANCTION RESOLUTION established the following:
"(...), it being necessary to indicate that by their nature, it will be a decision of single administrative instance for the non-compliance referred to the late presentation of financial information (Charges No. 1, 2 and 3) and for the non-compliance referred to the late communication of important facts (Charges No. 7 and 8); while for the non-compliance referred to the omission in the presentation of financial information (Charges No. 4, 5 and 6) it will be a decision of first administrative instance.";
10. That, in that sense, the present analysis of the appeal is circumscribed to the infractions indicated in article 1 of the dispositive part of the SANCTION RESOLUTION, referred to not having presented: (i) the Audited Annual Individual Financial Statements of the 2024 exercise and the respective Audit Report (Charge No. 4), (ii) the Annual Report of the 2024 exercise (Charge No. 5) and (iii) the Audited Annual Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2024 exercise and the respective Audit Report (Charge No. 6);
11. That, now well, with relation to what was manifested by DIVISO about that, having remedied the presentation of the financial information referred to in Charges No. 4, 5 and 6, it would correspond to take into consideration what is established in the GRADUAL REGIME, insofar as the 50% reduction of the initially proposed fine is subjective, it must be specified that the financial information and annual report linked to Charges No. 4 and 5, should have been presented on March 31, 2025; however, it was only carried out on July 8, 2025, that is, after the notification of Office No. 3108-2025-SMV/11.2, carried out on June 3, 2025 (hereinafter, OFFICE OF CHARGES). Likewise, as for the financial information and the Audit Report corresponding to Charge No. 6, these should have been presented on April 30, 2025; nevertheless, they were only presented on July 31, 2025, also after the notification of the OFFICE OF CHARGES;
12. That, in such sense, this Office agrees with what is exposed in considerations 53 to 556 of the SANCTION RESOLUTION, with respect to the fact that the infractions described are not included in the scope of application of the GRADUAL REGIME, since they are omissions in the presentation of financial information and Annual Report, and not late presentation. Additionally, according to subsection c) of article 267 of the SANCTIONS REGULATION, the remediation carried out after the start of the administrative sanctioning procedure constitutes a mitigating factor of responsibility;
13. That, with relation to the graduation of the sanction, it corresponds to state that this is determined according to the principle of reasonableness, collected both in numeral 1.4 of article IV of the Preliminary Title8 as well as in numeral 3 of article 2309 of the LPAG. In that line, from a systematic interpretation of the applicable regulatory framework, it is concluded that administrative sanctions will be reasonable when there is an adequate proportion between the means used and the public ends protected10;
14. That, on this particular, Dr. Guzmán Napurí11 maintains that sanctions must be proportional to the non-compliance qualified as an infraction, attending to a set of criteria for their graduation. Likewise, it specifies that the principle of reasonableness, as it is defined in the LPAG, includes in its content the principle of proportionality; therefore, resolutions must observe minimum criteria of proportionality and reasonableness, in order for the administrative act to be intrinsically just12;
15. That, in the present procedure, the criteria for sanction graduation were: a) the gravity of the damage to the public interest and/or protected legal good13; b) the harm caused and repercussion in the market14; c) the illegally obtained benefit15; d) the existence or not of intent16; e) the probability of detection of the infraction17; f) recidivism and sanction antecedents18; and g) circumstances of the commission of the infraction19;
16. That, in that measure, this Office has verified that the sanctioning organ evaluated the sanction criteria in order to determine the sanction to impose, according to article 2520 of the SANCTIONS REGULATION, concordant with numeral 3) of article 23021 of the LPAG and article 34422 of the Single Text of the Securities Market Law, approved by Supreme Decree No. 020-2023-EF (hereinafter, TUO OF THE LMV);
17. That, it must be considered that the three sanctioned infractions qualify as serious faults and, according to the SANCTIONS REGULATION, they are sanctionable with a fine not less than 25 UIT per infraction, and up to 50 UIT. Consequently, the SMV was authorized to impose, for each infraction, a fine of up to 50 UIT being able to reach a maximum accumulated of 150 UIT for the three faults;
18. That, notwithstanding, according to consideration 7923 of the SANCTION RESOLUTION, the SMV decided to impose on DIVISO a fine of 25 UIT for each of the three serious infractions, that is, the minimum provided by the sanctioning regime. Additionally, according to consideration 8224 of the SANCTION RESOLUTION, a reduction of fifty percent (50%) was applied to said infractions, in attention to the fact that DIVISO remedied the presentation of the financial information and

That, it corresponds to specify that Charges Nº 4, 5 and 6 are outside the scope of application of the cited Gradual Sanctions Regime for late presentation of financial information, annual report and important facts, since —as its own denomination indicates— said regime is applicable exclusively to non-compliance by late presentation, and not to cases of omission, which is the nature of the infractions imputed in these charges;
54. That, likewise, it must be stated that the remediation carried out by the Issuer after the start of the present PAS constitutes, according to article 26 of the Sanctions Regulation, a mitigating condition of responsibility, but it does not imply a modification of the imputed infraction type nor enables the application of a gradual regime that is not legally pertinent for this case;
55. That, it is not legally possible to vary the originally imputed type through the Office of Charges with respect to charges N° 4, 5 and 6 that refer to serious nature infractions for being omissions in the presentation of information to opportune nature minor infractions as the Issuer argues; doing so would constitute an affectation to the present PAS and would go against the TUO of the LPAG and the Sanctions Regulation"

Additionally, according to subsection c) of article 267 of the SANCTIONS REGULATION, the remediation carried out after the start of the administrative sanctioning procedure constitutes a mitigating factor of responsibility;
13. That, with relation to the graduation of the sanction, it corresponds to state that this is determined according to the principle of reasonableness, collected both in numeral 1.4 of article IV of the Preliminary Title8 as well as in numeral 3 of article 2309 of the LPAG. In that line, from a systematic interpretation of the applicable regulatory framework, it is concluded that administrative sanctions will be reasonable when there is an adequate proportion between the means used and the public ends protected10;
14. That, on this particular, Dr. Guzmán Napurí11 maintains that sanctions must be proportional to the non-compliance qualified as an infraction, attending to a set of criteria for their graduation. Likewise, it specifies that the principle of reasonableness, as it is defined in the LPAG, includes in its content the principle of proportionality; therefore, resolutions must observe minimum criteria of proportionality and reasonableness, in order for the administrative act to be intrinsically just12;
15. That, in the present procedure, the criteria for sanction graduation were: a) the gravity of the damage to the public interest and/or protected legal good13; b) the harm caused and repercussion in the market14; c) the illegally obtained benefit15; d) the existence or not of intent16; e) the probability of detection of the infraction17; f) recidivism and sanction antecedents18; and g) circumstances of the commission of the infraction19;
16. That, in that measure, this Office has verified that the sanctioning organ evaluated the sanction criteria in order to determine the sanction to impose, according to article 2520 of the SANCTIONS REGULATION, concordant with numeral 3) of article 23021 of the LPAG and article 34422 of the Single Text of the Securities Market Law, approved by Supreme Decree No. 020-2023-EF (hereinafter, TUO OF THE LMV);
17. That, it must be considered that the three sanctioned infractions qualify as serious faults and, according to the SANCTIONS REGULATION, they are sanctionable with a fine of not less than 25 UIT per infraction, and up to 50 UIT. Consequently, the SMV was authorized to impose, for each infraction, a fine of up to 50 UIT being able to reach a maximum accumulated of 150 UIT for the three faults;
