Reference: SUBMISSION OF RISK MANAGEMENT SELF-ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRE FOR SECURITIES FIRMS, INVESTMENT ADMINISTRATORS, AND PENSION AND SEVERANCE FUND ADMINISTRATORS.

Dear Sirs:

Through Circular No. SMV-1-2020 of February 14, 2020, a response to the risk management self-assessment questionnaire for the implementation of the Risk-Based Supervision tool was requested, which has been published on the website, establishing a deadline of thirty (30) days for its submission, that is, by March 28, 2020. However, considering the cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) detected in our country and consequently the sanitary measures dictated by the National Government, through the Ministry of Health and other entities, to avoid exposure and further contagions, we have decided to reschedule the date so that the submission deadline is extended to May 4, 2020.

For any additional inquiries, we are at your disposal at the following email address: autoevaluacionsbr@supervalores.gob.pa.

Sincerely,

[Signature]
Julio Javier Justíniani C.
Superintendent
