That, likewise, according to letter a) of Article 1 of its Organic Law, the SMV has among its functions to issue the legal norms that regulate matters of the securities market, product market and collective fund system;

That, letter b) of Article 5 of the Organic Law establishes that the Board of Directors of the SMV has the attribute to approve the regulations of the securities market, product market and collective fund system, as well as those to which natural and legal persons subject to the supervision of the SMV must adhere;

That, the MAV constitutes a public offering regime that establishes fewer requirements, obligations and costs compared to the general regime, which translates into shorter deadlines and greater flexibility for companies that register their securities and/or issuance programs in the Public Registry of the Securities Market of the SMV, as well as in the processing of other administrative procedures under said regime;

That, by Superintendent Resolution No. 021-2017-SMV/02, the Manual for compliance with the requirements applicable to Public Offerings of Shares in the Alternative Securities Market – MAV (hereinafter, MAV Manual – Shares), the Manual for compliance with the requirements applicable to Public Offerings of Bonds in the Alternative Securities Market – MAV (MAV Manual – Bonds) and the Manual for compliance with the requirements applicable to Public Offerings of Short-Term Instruments in the Alternative Securities Market – MAV (MAV Manual – STI) were approved;

That, within the framework of Article 2 of Legislative Decree No. 1310, which approved additional measures for administrative simplification, the Regulatory Quality Analysis (hereinafter, RQA) of the administrative procedures corresponding to the MAV was carried out, in order to identify, eliminate and/or simplify those that are unnecessary, ineffective, unjustified, disproportionate, redundant or not adequately aligned with Law No. 27444, General Administrative Procedure Law or the norms with the rank of law that support them;

That, in compliance with the aforementioned norm and the Single Transitional Complementary Provision of Supreme Decree No. 118-2019-PCM, the SMV submitted to the Multisectoral Commission for Regulatory Quality (hereinafter, CMCR) the draft regulatory project modifying the MAV Regulation, which declared it suitable to continue with its approval;

That, subsequently, adjustments were made to the regulatory project, in order to include clarifications and flexibilities, for which the exception of the Ex Ante RQA and the Ex Ante Regulatory Impact Analysis (hereinafter, AIR Ex Ante) was requested before the CMCR;

That, on June 2, 2025, the SMV was notified that the CMCR resolved that it does not correspond to apply the AIR Ex Ante to the Project, pursuant to paragraph 41.2 of Article 41 of the Regulation of the General Law of Regulatory Improvement, approved by Supreme Decree No. 023-2025-PCM, corresponding to carry out an Ex Ante RQA with the objective of carrying out an exclusive evaluation of the principle of legality;

That, among the modifications is the inclusion of the Unified Procedure Format – MAV, which standardizes the presentation of requests by regulated entities before the SMV within the framework of the administrative procedures regulated in the MAV Regulation. This format collects information such as: type of procedure, data of the applicant and their authorized representative, data of the securities or programs subject to the request, and on the documents supporting the request;

That, in addition to the above, paragraph 4.2.1 of Article 4 of the MAV Regulation is modified, by which the threshold of average annual income from the sale of goods or provision of services during the last five (5) fiscal years is raised so that a greater number of companies can enter the MAV, establishing as the new threshold, four hundred fifty million soles (S/ 450,000,000.00) or its equivalent in US dollars;

That, as a consequence thereof, a positive impact and greater dynamism are expected in this market segment, by facilitating access to new issuers who can find in the MAV an attractive alternative to raise financing;

That, on the other hand, with the aim of providing greater predictability regarding the contribution costs that companies accessing this market segment will assume, it is established that companies by their participation in the MAV, from January 1, 2026, will pay one percent (1%) of the contributions provided for in Article 3 of the Standard on Contributions for the Supervision Services provided by the Securities Market Superintendency, approved by CONASEV Resolution No. 095-2000-EF/94.10 and its amendments.
