CONSIDERING

That in accordance with international best practices and in order to ensure the stability, solvency and solidity of popular financial societies, it is necessary to establish the obligation for these financial entities to have a remuneration system that determines the policies and procedures to carry out ordinary and extraordinary remunerations to their employees or personnel who hold any position, mandate, commission or any other legal title that popular financial societies have granted for the conduct of their operations, in order to align the risks assumed by the said persons when acting on behalf of said societies and with the general public, with the current or potential risks that the said entities are willing to assume or are prepared to face, and

That the above will result in a reduction of incentives for employees or personnel who hold any position, mandate, commission or any other legal title that popular financial societies have granted for the conduct of their operations on their own behalf or on behalf of their clients, to assume unnecessary risks and, consequently, the risks to which popular financial societies are exposed can be better managed and monitored, has resolved to issue the following:

" Chapter IV Bis

On the Remuneration System

Article 209 Bis.- Popular Financial Societies must implement, maintain, and review

permanently a Remuneration System that promotes and is consistent with effective

risk management.

The Remuneration System must consider all remunerations, whether these are granted

in cash or through other compensation mechanisms, and must at least comply with the following:

Delimit the responsibilities of the corporate bodies in charge of the implementation of the

remuneration schemes.

II.

Establish policies and procedures that govern Ordinary and Extraordinary

Remunerations of persons subject to the Remuneration System, in congruence with a reasonable taking

risks.

III.

Permanently review payment policies and procedures and make the necessary adjustments

when the risks assumed by the Popular Financial Society, or their materialization, are greater than

expected, and represent a threat to the liquidity, solvency, stability, and reputation of the

own financial entity.

Article 209 Bis 1.- The Remuneration System, as a minimum, must:

Consider the risks to which the Popular Financial Society, its administrative,

control, and business units, and, if applicable, the risks assumed by persons

subject to the Remuneration System are exposed. When there is difficulty in obtaining reliable measures for

certain types of risk, Popular Financial Societies must rely on reasoned judgments

to incorporate them into the Remuneration System.

II.

Establish specific remuneration schemes for each job profile of employees or

persons subject to the Remuneration System, in consideration of the risks inherent to their

activities, taking into account for such purposes, the following:

Regarding Extraordinary Remunerations that are determined by results

individual or collective of an administrative, control, or business unit, Popular Financial

Societies must ensure that performance evaluation does not take

into account exclusively the results observed during the financial year in which the

operation was carried out, but also considers risks and results over a

reasonable period of time. For this purpose, performance evaluations must be

consistent and based on results adjusted for present and future risks, liquidity,

cost of capital, and variables that are considered relevant.

Likewise, for the determination of Extraordinary Remuneration, the Popular Financial

Society must use methods to sensitize results, among which

are the adjustment of remuneration through the application of factors related to the

risks that the activities of persons subject to the System

of Remuneration or administrative, control, or business unit represent for the Popular Financial Society, the

deferral of payments from one fiscal year to the next, the extension of performance evaluation periods until all results or risks are known or

materialize, or the reduction of Extraordinary Remuneration in the short term.

Additionally, Popular Financial Societies must incorporate non-financial measures

in performance evaluation, which must consider, among other aspects,

qualitative evaluations of compliance with risk management policies and their

compliance.

The measures referred to in the preceding paragraphs are not exclusive and the Society

Financial Popular must stay informed about the existence of new methods for
