5.1. Sanction Criteria

That, having determined the commission of the imputed infraction, it corresponds to evaluate the sanction in accordance with article 25 of the Sanctions Regulation, concordant with subsection 3) of article 248 of the TUO of the LPAG and article 344 of the TUO of the LMV, which develop the sanction graduation criteria: (i) the sanction antecedents of the issuer, (ii) recidivism, (iii) the circumstances of the commission of the infraction, (iv) the economic damage caused and its repercussion in the market, (v) the illicit benefit resulting from the commission of the infraction, (vi) the probability of detection of the infraction, (vii) the seriousness of the damage to the public interest and/or protected legal good and (viii) the existence or not of intent in the conduct of the infringer (hereinafter, Sanction Criteria);
That, for the purpose of determining the sanction to be imposed on the Issuer for the non-compliance referred to the untimely communication of material events, it must be taken into account the Criteria applicable to the administrative sanctioning procedure for non-compliance with the norms regulating the submission of periodic or eventual information, the Gradual Sanction Regime for untimely submission of financial information, annual report and material events (hereinafter, Gradual Sanction Regime), approved by SMV Resolution No. 007-2023-SMV/01;

Consequently, although no seriousness of damage to the public interest is evidenced, the non-compliance with the obligation to inform the market within the deadline limits by issuers affects the transparency of the market, which is considered a protected legal good;
That, with respect to sanction antecedents, the Gradual Sanction Regime states that "The resulting amount from the application of the guidelines contemplated in subsection 6.2 can be increased up to five percent (5%) if it is accredited that the infringing subject has sanction antecedents", without making distinction on whether they correspond to different or the same type of infraction. Therefore, in order to determine which is the most beneficial rule, it is considered that the application of the new normativity will increase one percent (1%) for each sanction resolution that constitutes the antecedent up to a maximum of five percent (5%). On this particular matter, from the verification carried out in the SMV Sanctions System, it has been determined that the Issuer does not have sanction antecedents, as evaluated in the Report;
