4.3. EVALUATION OF THE RECONSIDERATION APPEAL

  1. Next, the arguments presented in the reconsideration appeal filed by the Issuer will be exposed in a summarized manner, which does not imply that each aspect of the contentious appeal has not been taken into consideration:

(i) REGARDING THE COMMUNICATION OF THE IMPORTANT EVENT, THE SUBSEQUENT DOCUMENTARY OBLIGATION AND THE COMPLIANCE WITH THE LEGAL TERM

In its challenge document, the Issuer stated that, on March 25, 2024, the Mandatory Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (JOAA) approved the comprehensive modification of its social bylaws. Likewise, it indicated that, on that date, it communicated to the SMV and the market the adoption of said agreement as an important event, considering that with this it fulfilled the immediate obligation to inform the referred fact in accordance with articles 7, 8 and 9 of the Regulation of Important Events and Reserved Information, approved by SMV Resolution No. 005-2014-SMV/01 (hereinafter, Regulation of Important Events).

Additionally, the Issuer maintained that paragraph iii of numeral 2.3 of the Annex of the Regulation of Important Events establishes that the copy of the notarial testimony of the bylaw modification must be sent within fifteen (15) business days following its registration in the Public Registries. In this line, it specified that the registry inscription before SUNARP was carried out on August 27, 2024 and the sending of the notarial testimony and its annexes to the SMV was effected on September 6, 2024, that is, within the term provided in the referred normative provision.

EVALUATION

Regarding the argument referred to that the Issuer would have complied with the legal term by sending the copy of the notarial testimony within fifteen (15) business days following the inscription of the bylaw modification in SUNARP, it corresponds to point out that such argument does not disprove the infraction imputed in Charge No. 3, since said charge is referred to a different obligation from that whose non-compliance was the subject of the present PAS.

On this matter, it is appropriate to specify that the aspect of the Challenged Resolution (Charge No. 3) is referred to the communication of the important event linked to the agreement for the comprehensive modification of the Issuer's bylaws, approved, among others, in the JOAA celebrated on March 25, 2024, which was disseminated in the following terms:

Extract of the important event of 25/03/20247

From the review of the aforementioned important event, it is evident that the Issuer not only informed the approval of the comprehensive modification of its bylaws, but also indicated that this "(…) will be drafted in accordance with the text contained in Annex I that is an integral part of the present minutes"; notwithstanding, said annex was not attached in the communication sent through File No. 2024012361, nor were the articles subject to modification detailed.

Consequently, the securities market did not have sufficient information regarding the content and scope of the bylaw modification approved, until June 6, 2024, on which date the Issuer sent a new important event attaching the copy of the notarial testimony that contained the text of the modification.

Now, it corresponds to indicate that, according to numeral 2 of Annex I of the Regulation of Important Events, bylaw modification agreements qualify as important events, so their communication must be carried out in accordance with what is provided in numeral 9.1 of article 9 of the referred regulation, which establishes that the Issuer must inform such facts as soon as they occur or take knowledge of them, and, in no case, after the day on which they have occurred or been known.

In that sense, the important events regulation requires that the information disseminated to the market be truthful, sufficient, complete and timely from the very moment the corresponding agreement is adopted, more so when it is a comprehensive modification of the social bylaws, whose nature is relevant for market participants. Therefore, it was not sufficient to communicate generically the approval of said modification, but it was necessary to provide information that allowed knowing the content and scope of the approved changes, more so when the same Issuer manifested that it would detail the referred modifications and did not do so until a later date.

Consequently, what was exposed by the Issuer in the appeal resource in this aspect must be dismissed, insofar as it is not about the presentation of the copy of the notarial testimony of the bylaw modification that must be sent within fifteen (15) business days following its inscription in the Public Registries, but of the complete and therefore timely presentation of the important event of March 25, 2024 related to the approval of the agreement for the comprehensive modification of the Company's Bylaws.

(ii) REGARDING THE RECOGNITION OF RESPONSIBILITY AND VOLUNTARY SUBSANATION

Regarding this, the Issuer indicates that it recognized the formal omission of not attaching the full text of the bylaws in the initial communication and that, once the observation was alerted, it voluntarily subsanated the omission, sending the complete documentation, evidencing good faith, willingness to comply and collaboration with the authority.

EVALUATION

In the first term, it corresponds to specify that the conduct analyzed in Charge No. 3 is referred to the incomplete and late communication of an important event, that is, to the omission of providing sufficient and timely information regarding the comprehensive modification of the social bylaws approved on March 25, 2024. In such sense, said conduct is comprised in the case provided in literal c) of article 28 of the Sanctions Regulation8, which establishes that late or incomplete presentation of important events are not subject to subsanation, as an exemption of responsibility.

Under this normative framework, the Issuer's argument referred to that it would have voluntarily subsanated the omission through the subsequent sending of the complete documentation lacks support, since, regarding an incomplete and late communication of an important event, the regulation expressly excludes the possibility of considering said subsanation as an exemption of administrative responsibility. Consequently, the infringing conduct is configured at the moment the important event is disseminated in an incomplete manner, as occurs in the present case, without its subsequent complementation having liberating effects.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it corresponds to analyze the argument referred to the recognition of responsibility. Regarding this, it is adv

  1. Full names, address and National Identity Document number or foreigner's ID card of the administered party, and in its case, the quality of representative and of the person whom he represents.
  2. The concrete expression of what is requested, the factual grounds that support it and, when possible, the legal grounds.
  3. Place, date, signature or digital fingerprint, in case of not knowing how to sign or being impeded.
  4. The indication of the body, the entity or the authority to which it is addressed, understanding by such, insofar as possible, the authority of the grade closest to the user, according to the hierarchy, with competence to know and resolve it.
  5. The address of the place where notifications of the procedure are desired to be received, when it is different from the real domicile exposed by virtue of numeral 1. This indication of domicile produces its effects from its indication and is presumed subsistent, while its change is not expressly communicated.
  6. The relationship of the documents and annexes that accompany, indicated in the TUPA.
  7. The identification of the file of the matter, regarding already initiated procedures."
