Article 205 Bis.- The net capital of Popular Financial Societies will be composed of a

basic part and a complementary part, as provided in this chapter. The basic part will be

integrated as follows:

they may consider as part of the basic capital the subordinated obligations of mandatory conversion that meet the requirements established in Annex V of these

provisions.

debtor, as the case may be, having agreed to do so, can only be made after covering

other financial entities.

III.

If applicable, investments in securities referenced to indices of securities that in turn include

investments in the capital of Popular Financial Societies, as well as in the capital of the entities

referred to in the following fraction IV, in the proportion that the shares issued by the

respective society or entity represent in the indices themselves. In all cases, long positions may be

considered net of short positions, provided that they refer to the same underlying exposure.

IV.

Investments in the capital of retirement fund administrators and investment fund operating societies,

provided that these are made in accordance with article 23 of these

provisions.

If applicable, investments, including valuation effects by the method that corresponds, in

articles 35, 35 Bis and 35 Bis 1 of the Law.

VII.

If applicable, investments in investment fund shares that do not correspond to fixed capital,

will be disaggregated into their various individual positions, considering the participation that the

Popular Financial Society has in said investment funds. The part of the investment fund invested

in debt instruments will count, as appropriate, in accordance with the risk capitalization framework

of credit risk. The share positions that individually are subject to deduction from

capital, will be subtracted from capital and the remaining ones, even though they are not subject to credit risk,

will have a credit risk weighting of 250%.

VIII.

Preventive reserves pending to be constituted, as well as those constituted charged to

accounting accounts that do not form part of the results or accounting capital items.

IX.

XII.

Items that are accounted for in the assets of the Popular Financial Society as intangibles or

that, if applicable, imply the deferral of expenses or costs in the capital of the Popular Financial

Society, such as:

a)

Intangibles of any type including goodwill, and

b)

Any item except for fixed assets and prepayments of less than one year,

that represent expenditures or expenses whose recognition in accounting capital is deferred in

time.

established in article 36, fraction I, subsection h), of the Law.

X.

Modify the policies that the Popular Financial Society has established regarding interest rates to be paid on those deposits and liabilities whose yield is above the risk level that the Popular Financial Society usually assumes in such operations and that the Commission, in its inspection and surveillance functions, has detected.

IV.

They will not have a maturity date or may be of mandatory conversion into ordinary shares.

Likewise, they will not have characteristics that increase their yield rate nor will they have other incentives for them to be paid in advance.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an early payment option may be provided only at the initiative of the issuer, after five years have elapsed, when all the following conditions are met:

a)

To exercise the early payment option, the Popular Financial Society must specify it in its authorization request;

b)

The Popular Financial Society must not have previously granted, recognized, or generated an expectation of right to early payment, or offered its possible exercise, and

c)

The Popular Financial Society may not exercise the early payment option unless:

1.

It demonstrates that once the payment is made, it will have a Capitalization Level equal to or greater than 131 percent, or

2.

It replaces the instrument with subordinated obligations that at least meet the conditions provided for in this annex, without such replacement causing harm to the financial situation of the Popular Financial Society.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, Popular Financial Societies may provide that subordinated obligations have an early payment option at any time due to changes in fiscal treatment, or regulatory, as far as the computation of these in the net capital of Popular Financial Societies is concerned, provided that at the time of issuance of the instrument, they have no knowledge that such change will occur. In any case, Popular Financial Societies must adhere to what is established in subsections a) and b) of this fraction.

V.

The Popular Financial Society must not create expectations in the markets that the authorization to exercise early payment will be obtained.

VI.

Regarding payment:

a)

Popular Financial Societies must have the possibility to cancel the payment of yields, extinguishing the obligation on their part for said concept, when they are located in any of categories 2 to 4 in accordance with the classification provided in these provisions or when as a consequence of carrying out such payments, the Popular Financial Society comes to be located in any of the mentioned categories. Such cancellation will not be considered an event of default.

b)

The investor must not have the right to demand future payments in advance.

c)

It must have been previously stipulated in the act of issuance and in the corresponding instruments, as well as in the information prospectus and in any other instrument that documents the issuance that:

1.

Such instruments will convert into ordinary shares of the Popular Financial Society itself.

2.

Regarding such instruments, the remission or forgiveness of the debt and its accessories in favor of the Popular Financial Society will operate to extinguish its obligation and the correlative right of the holder of the instrument to obtain its amount.

3.

In the event that the causes for conversion and remission or forgiveness provided for in fraction XI of this annex occur, the corresponding measures will apply, in the first place, to instruments that form part of basic capital and, if necessary, subsequently to those that form part of complementary capital.

The conversion and remission or forgiveness described will operate as the causes for conversion or extinction or devaluation of the instruments occur, in accordance with what is provided for in the following fraction XI.

In any case, the cancellation of yields regarding the instruments referred to in this annex implies, in turn, the restriction on the payment of dividends for common share holders, so that Popular Financial Societies will not be subject to additional restrictions for carrying out the cancellation referred to in this fraction.

The conversion, as well as the remission or forgiveness indicated in this subsection, must be carried out pro rata with respect to all instruments of the same nature that count in basic capital, and the Popular Financial Society must, at the time of making the respective issuance, provide in the document referred to in subsection c) of this fraction the order in which the cited measures will be applied for each type of instrument.

X.

They will not have clauses that require the issuer to compensate investors, in the event that the general assembly of shareholders approves the issuance of a new instrument with better conditions for the investor.

XI.

Popular Financial Societies must include in their bylaws, in the act of issuance and in the corresponding instruments, as well as in the information prospectus and in any other instrument that documents the issuance, a clause that establishes, any of the options contained in subsections a) and b) below, for each of the instruments according to their nature:

a)

The conversion of such instruments or instruments into ordinary shares of the Popular Financial Society itself, without this fact being considered as an event of default, when

---

the Commission notifies the Popular Financial Society that it has incurred any of the causes referred to in fractions V, IX, or XII of Article 37 of the Law and within the period established by the Commission itself, said Society does not remedy the facts or does not repay the capital.

For the purposes of the provisions of this subsection, Popular Financial Societies shall proceed with the conversion, on the next business day after the period determined by the Commission has concluded.

In any case, the conversion into shares referred to in this subsection shall be definitive, so clauses providing for restitution or granting any premium to holders of said titles or instruments may not be included.

Likewise, the bylaws, the issuance deed, and the corresponding titles, as well as the information prospectus and any other instrument documenting the issuance, must provide for the conversion mechanism.

b)

The remission or total forgiveness of the debt and its accessories, or partial forgiveness in a determined or determinable proportion according to the last paragraph of this subsection, without this fact being considered as an event of default, when the Commission notifies the Popular Financial Society that it has incurred any of the causes referred to in fractions V, IX, or XII of Article 37 of the Law and within the period established by the Commission itself, said Popular Financial Society does not remedy the facts or does not repay the capital.

For the purposes of the provisions of this subsection, Popular Financial Societies shall proceed with the execution of the remission or forgiveness clause, on the next business day after the period determined by the Commission has concluded.

Regarding this, it may be agreed that such remission or forgiveness will take effect on the principal and interest, totally or partially, from the moment the assumed condition occurs, or from some prior moment. The foregoing, with the aim that such remission or forgiveness is applied to amounts that are not yet liquid or due, or to those that have been liquid and due but have not been paid by the Popular Financial Society.

In the event that the Popular Financial Society stipulates mechanisms to grant any premium to holders whose titles have been extinguished totally or partially, subsequent to the respective remission or forgiveness, they must specify that such mechanisms can only be implemented when the issuing Popular Financial Society is classified at least in category 2. In this case, the issuance deed and the corresponding titles, as well as the information prospectus and any other instrument documenting the issuance, must provide for the mechanism to grant the premium and the deadline for doing so.

This is understood to mean that the premium can only consist in the delivery of ordinary shares of the Popular Financial Society itself.

Likewise, the issuance deed and the corresponding titles, as well as the information prospectus and any other instrument documenting the issuance, must provide that the holder will proceed with the total remission or forgiveness of the debt and its accessories, or partial, in the latter case, in a determined or determinable proportion. Each time the described assumption occurs, the partial remission or forgiveness of the debt and its accessories will operate again, under the terms described in this same subsection.

XII.

The Societies must conspicuously record in the relevant issuance deed, in the information prospectus, and in any type of advertising, as well as in the titles themselves that are issued, the classification of the Society in any of the categories and the application of the Corrective Measures that, if applicable, correspond to it in accordance with the provisions of these regulations, as an exception to an event of default.
