The provisions of the new second and third paragraphs of Article 19 bis of the General Cooperatives Law establish the duty of this Commission to define the requirements that supervised savings and credit cooperatives (hereinafter, "cooperatives" or "CACs") must meet to effect refunds of participation shares to their members in cases where there have been no capital contributions for an amount at least equivalent to the amount of the refunds requested, being able to adapt the criteria to the specific particularities and risks of each cooperative. Therefore, through this General Standard, the Commission establishes the general criteria and guidelines that will be considered to determine the requirements and conditions for requesting refunds of participation shares in cooperatives to their members, which will be established in the new Chapter CAC-21 of the Updated Compilation of Standards for Savings and Credit Cooperatives ("RAN CACs"), included in Annex No. 1 of this standard. Additionally, the Compendium of Accounting Standards for Cooperatives is modified for the presentation of monthly financial information and financial statements after a request for refund of members' shares is approved by this Commission. The corresponding adjustments are detailed in Annex No. 2. As a result of the above changes, the new Chapter CAC-21 is incorporated into the RAN CACs and the relevant pages of the Compendium of Accounting Standards for Cooperatives are replaced. This regulation enters into force immediately, except for the following transitional provisions.

TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS
Regarding Chapter CAC-21 of the RAN CACs, the provision contained in the first paragraph of Title VI, referring to the submission of the request to this Commission through the Digital System established in Title VI of Law No. 21.770, will be applicable once said system is implemented, the corresponding enabling technology is available, and the cooperative has a management rating in accordance with what is established in Chapter CAC-10 of the RAN CACs. While these cumulative circumstances do not occur, the request for refund of participation shares must be sent to this Commission in accordance with the instructions established in General Standard No. 515. In these cases, the refund may only be executed by the CAC after being approved by this Commission, which will rule within a period not exceeding 90 calendar days, counted from the receipt of the information. During the evaluation, the Commission may request additional information and adjust response deadlines in accordance with the new background obtained. Likewise, while the first management rating has not been carried out in accordance with what is established in Chapter CAC-10 of the RAN CACs, refund requests for shares, to which a plan must be attached, must be presented on each occasion that a refund is requested under the exceptional mechanism of the second and third paragraphs of Article 19 bis of the GCL. Thus, during the period indicated in the previous paragraph, the cooperative interested in presenting a request, in addition to complying with letters a), b), c), d), and g) of Title III of Chapter CAC-21, must formalize it through a single document that includes: 1) a specific refund plan, with the elements indicated in Title II of Chapter CAC-21, and 2) the request itself, with the background established in Titles IV and V of the same Chapter. The documentation must be sent to this Commission in accordance with the instructions established in General Standard No. 515. Once received, the Commission will rule within a period not exceeding 90 calendar days, counted from its receipt. During the evaluation, additional information may be requested and response deadlines may be adjusted based on the new background. Finally, it is provided that the changes made to the Compendium of Accounting Standards for Cooperatives, detailed in Annex No. 2, will be applicable from January 1, 2027.

V. CONDITIONS FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE
REQUEST
The refund of participation shares must not compromise the solvency and/or liquidity current and prospective of the cooperative. In this sense, the cooperative that presents a request for refund of shares must also justify the compliance with the following elements:
a) That after the share refund process, it does not materially impact or harm the members who will remain in the cooperative. b) That, at all times, both prior to the refund and after this, compliance with the requirements established in Chapter III.C.2 of the BCCh Financial Standards Compendium is given. c) That, after the share refund process presented in the request, it is estimated that the cooperative will have an Effective Equity level higher than 21% of Risk-Weighted Assets, net of required provisions. d) That the mechanism for refund of participation shares presents a low level of risk at the time of the request, considering the effect of the mitigators described in the refund plan.

Thus, after this approval, the cooperative must carry out the refund of shares in accordance with the terms fixed in the plan approved by this Commission, as well as within the deadline and form established in the respective request for refund. The cooperative may not present a new request for refund of participation shares of members for a minimum period of twelve months, counted from the last request approved by this Commission. The approval procedure established in this Title does not preclude the exercise of the supervisory powers of the Commission. In such a case, if during the review process the total of the committed shares has not yet been refunded and the Commission considers that significant changes have occurred in the conditions of the cooperative, it may suspend the approval, request additional information, and, eventually, revoke it.

Annex 2: Modification to the Compendium of Accounting Standards for
Cooperatives
The accounts of the monthly financial position statement that cooperatives must send to this Organism through the BC file of the Information System Manual for CACs are adjusted, in accordance with the guidelines established in Chapter H-3 of the Compendium of Accounting Standards for Cooperatives (hereinafter, "CNC CACs"), with the purpose of separating the treatment of paid capital subject to refund according to the first and second paragraphs of Article 19bis of the General Cooperatives Law. In specific, the following accounts are replaced and created in Chapter H-3:
a. 3100 PAID CAPITAL
Comprises the sum of codes 3100.1 and 3100.2. b. 3100.1 "Contributed Capital" Corresponds to the amounts of capital contributed by members according to Article 19bis of the General Cooperatives Law (GCL). Contributed capital must be registered separately according to the application of the general criterion established in the first paragraph of the same article and of the exception established in the second paragraph of Article 19bis. In both cases, the amount of capital contributions will be included until the month in which the refund to the member of their contributed capital is generated. Comprises the sum of codes 3100.1.1 and 3100.1.2.
c. 3100.1.1 "Contributed Capital under the treatment of the first paragraph of
Article 19bis GCL"
Corresponds to the amounts of capital contributed by members according to the application of the first paragraph of Article 19bis GCL.
The amount of capital contributions will be included until the month in which the refund to the member of their contributed capital is generated. From the month in which the cooperative receives the approval by this Commission of a request for refund of participation shares through the mechanism established for it in Chapter CAC-21 of the Updated Compilation of Standards for Savings and Credit Cooperatives (RAN CACs), the amount committed by the request must be reclassified from this item to the item "Contributed Capital under the treatment of the second paragraph of Article 19bis GCL" (code 3100.1.2). d. 3100.1.2 "Contributed Capital under the treatment of the second paragraph of
Article 19bis GCL"
Corresponds to the amounts of capital contributed by members according to the application of the second paragraph of Article 19bis GCL and which represents an exception to the general criterion established in the first paragraph of Article 19bis. The amount of capital contributions that are part of a request

of return of participation shares approved by this Commission through the mechanism established for this purpose in Chapter CAC-21 of the RAN CACs, until the month in which the return of the member's contributed capital is generated. Therefore, this amount must be reclassified to this code from "Contributed capital under the treatment of the first inciso of article 19bis LGC" (code 3100.1.1). e. 3100.2 "Accumulated provision for redemption of contributed capital" It is necessary to consider as a provision the amount committed by contributed capital to be returned that forms part of a priority list, starting from the month in which the cooperative receives the member's request to redeem their contributed capital. Consequently, in that month, the cooperative must provision the committed amount of contributed capital that is registered under the treatment of the first and second incisos of article 19bis LGC. The provision corresponds to the application of what is established by IAS 32 on "Presentation of financial instruments" and interpretation IFRIC 2 on "Contributions by members of cooperative entities and similar instruments" which regulate the conditions that determine when the return can be made, given that such conditions do not change the nature of the committed amount as a financial liability. When the return of the member's contributed capital is generated, the same amount previously provisioned that is registered in codes 3100.2.1 and 2700.4.1, 3100.2.2 and 2700.4.2, or 3100.2.3 and 2700.4.3 respectively; must be reversed; and the amount must be derecognized from the contributed capital account that is affected by the return (codes 3100.1.1 and/or 3100.1.2). Finally, it comprises the sum of codes 3100.2.1, 3100.2.2 and 3100.2.3. f. 3100.2.1 "Accumulated provision for redemption of contributed capital under the treatment of the first inciso of article 19bis LGC with contributions received not yet applied for redemptions." It is necessary to include as a provision the amount committed by contributed capital to be returned from a priority list, registered in code 3100.1.1, starting from the month in which the cooperative receives the member's request to redeem their contributed capital. In this item, the provision must be registered for the amount of contributions received that have not yet been applied for redemptions, for example, contributions received that do not yet cover the next contributed capital to be returned from a priority list. The counterpart of this item must be reported in code 2700.4.1. g. 3100.2.2 "Accumulated provision for redemption of contributed capital under the treatment of the first inciso of article 19bis LGC with contributions to be received" It is necessary to include as a provision the amount committed by contributed capital to be returned from a priority list, registered in code 3100.1.1, starting from the month in which the cooperative receives the member's request to redeem their contributed capital. In this
item, the provision must be registered for the committed amount by the priority list with contributions to be received, and which have not been registered in code 3100.2.1. The counterpart of this item must be reported in code 2700.4.2.

The sum of 3100.2.1 and 3100.2.2 will account for the total balance of the priority list subject to the treatment of the first inciso of article 19bis LGC. h. 3100.2.3 "Accumulated provision for redemption of contributed capital under the treatment of the second inciso of article 19bis LGC" It is necessary to include as a provision the amount committed by contributed capital to be returned from a priority list, registered in code 3100.1.2 under the treatment of the second inciso of article 19bis LGC. Starting from the month in which the cooperative receives approval from this Commission for a request for return of participation shares through the mechanism established for this purpose in Chapter 21 of the RAN CACs, the committed amount by the request must be provisioned in this item with its counterpart in code 2700.4.3, and in parallel, the amount previously provisioned in "Accumulated provision for redemption of participation shares under the treatment of the first inciso of article 19bis LGC" (codes 3100.2.1 and 2700.4.1 and/or 3100.2.2 and 2700.4.2 respectively) must be reversed.
i. 2700.4 "Accumulated provision for redemption of contributed capital"
It corresponds to the counterpart of what is reported in line 3100.2. j. 2700.4.1 "Accumulated provision for redemption of contributed capital under the treatment of the first inciso of article 19bis LGC with contributions received not yet applied for redemptions" It corresponds to the counterpart of what is reported in item 3100.2.1. k. 2700.4.2 "Accumulated provision for redemption of contributed capital under the treatment of the first inciso of article 19bis LGC with contributions to be received" It corresponds to the counterpart of what is reported in item 3100.2.2.
l. 2700.4.3 "Accumulated provision for redemption of contributed capital under the treatment of the second inciso of article 19bis LGC"
It corresponds to the counterpart of what is reported in item 3100.2.3. m. 3600 "REVALUATION OF PARTICIPATION SHARES" It corresponds to the revaluation due to the variation of the UF of the reported period or exercise with respect to contributed capital, registered in codes 3100.1.1 and 3100.1.2 under the treatment of the first and second incisos of article 19bis LGC and, if applicable, voluntary reserves and accumulated losses. In addition, the amount of the revaluation of participation shares in this line must be considered for the determination of the surplus or deficit. With the same purpose as the previous adjustment, the following modifications are made to Chapter G-4 of the CNC CACs in its numerales 1 and 2:

1. Capital contributions for payment of participation shares

According to IFRS, capital contributions made by members can be considered as equity from the moment they are effectively received and must be registered in contributed capital separately according to the application of the general criterion established in the first inciso of article 19bis of the General Cooperatives Law (LGC) and the exception established in the second inciso of article 19bis LGC. In both cases, the amount of capital contributions will be included until the month in which the return of the member's contributed capital is generated. On the other hand, starting from the month in which the cooperative receives approval from this Commission for a request for return of participation shares through the mechanism established for this purpose in Chapter CAC-21 of the Updated Compilation of Rules for Savings and Credit Cooperatives (RAN CACs), the committed amount by the request must be reclassified from "Contributed capital under the treatment of the first inciso of article 19bis LGC" (code 3100.1.1) to the item "Contributed capital under the treatment of the second inciso of article 19bis LGC" (code 3100.1.2). In addition, it is necessary to include in the contributed capital that is registered under the treatment of the first and second incisos of article 19bis of the LGC, the respective revaluation due to the variation of the UF of the reported period or exercise and, if applicable, the surplus of the previous exercise and/or voluntary reserves that had been capitalized in contributed capital or accumulated losses that had been absorbed in contributed capital by a decision of the General Assembly of Members or an Extraordinary Assembly of Members.
2. Return of participation shares
In the case of the first inciso of article 19bis LGC, it corresponds to return to the member their contributed capital when the cooperative has fulfilled the conditions for it, that is, when contributions of capital have been received by the cooperative for a sum at least equivalent to the amount of the returns required after the date on which the participation shares become due. In the case of the second inciso of article 19bis LGC, it corresponds to return to the member their contributed capital when the cooperative has fulfilled the conditions established for it, according to a request for return of participation shares approved by this Commission through the mechanism established in Chapter CAC-21 of the RAN CACs. On the other hand, it is necessary to consider as a provision the amount committed by contributed capital to be returned that forms part of a priority list, starting from the month in which the cooperative receives the member's request to redeem their contributed capital. Consequently, in that month, the cooperative must provision the committed amount of contributed capital that is registered under the treatment of the first and second incisos of article 19bis LGC. The provision corresponds to the application of what is established by IAS 32 on "Presentation of financial instruments" and interpretation IFRIC 2 on "Contributions by members of cooperative entities and similar instruments" which regulate the conditions that determine when the return can be made, given that such conditions do not change the nature of the committed amount as a financial liability. When the return of the member's contributed capital is generated

of their contributed capital, the same amount previously provisioned that is registered in codes 3100.2.1 and 2700.4.1, 3100.2.2 and 2700.4.2 or 3100.2.3 and 2700.4.3 respectively; must be reversed; and the amount must be derecognized from the contributed capital account that is affected by the return (codes 3100.1.1 and/or 3100.1.2). In another matter, numeral 6 "Presentation in the Statement of Financial Position" of Chapter G-4 is eliminated, as this information is already presented as indicated in Chapter H-3 and Annex 1 of Chapter H-1.
