";

3.2. Of the charges formulated

Through the OFFICE OF CHARGES, charges were formulated against PRUDENTIAL SAF for not communicating, within the deadline established by the regulation, the periodic and eventual information indicated in the third consideration of this resolution;

3.3. Of the defenses presented

In attention to the charges made, regarding the infraction referred to the non-compliance with the presentation of periodic information of the FUND, PRUDENTIAL SAF refers that the imputation would violate the principle of causality of administrative responsibility, because it was not the administrating society responsible for the management or liquidation of the FUND, so it never had the obligation or responsibility to present any type of information to the RPMV regarding said investment fund;
On this matter, the administrating society states that, in accordance with the significant event of May 12, 2015 presented by Access SEAF SAFI SAC, the FUND entered the liquidation process and Efic Partners SAC was designated as the sole liquidating entity and not PRUDENTIAL SAF, so it is another legal entity different from the administrating society that had Efic Capital Asset Management SAF SAC as one of its former corporate names;
With regard to the remaining three (3) infractions, referred to the untimely communication of the significant events regarding the FUND FHI DEBT and the FUND PHI INCOME, PRUDENTAL SAF expressly recognizes its responsibility for the imputations made in letters b), c) and d) of the third consideration of this resolution under the auspices of what is established in letter a) of article 26 of the SANCTIONS REGULATION;
Additionally, the administrating society indicates that it will provide all its collaboration so that the sanctioning procedure concludes without generating any administrative or other type of cost to the regulator, as well as in safeguard of market integrity;
Regarding the application of sanctioning criteria when evaluating an eventual administrative sanction in a proportional manner, PRUDENTIAL SAF specifies that it has not been sanctioned by the SMV for any type of infraction since its inscription in the RPMV so it requests that, when evaluating the sanction, it takes into consideration that it has no type of antecedent;
Regarding recidivism, the administrating society states that it has never been sanctioned for the commission of infractions that have the same nature as those imputed through the OFFICE OF CHARGES. Specifically, PRUDENTIAL SAF states that it has not been sanctioned for the non-compliance with communicating significant events within the regulatory deadline on any of the funds it administers, so when evaluating the possible sanction, it requests that it be considered that it does not have the quality of recidivist;
With regard to the circumstances of commission of the infraction, PRUDENTIAL SAF alleges that the excess participation occurred on June 21, 2023 in the FUND PHI DEBT corresponding to the first excess participation not attributable to a participant, whose position amounted to 15.74% despite the participation limit being 10%; although it was not communicated within the regulatory deadline, it proceeded to send the significant event on August 07, 2023;
Likewise, the administrating society refers that the excess participation occurred on June 22, 2023 in the FUND PHI DEBT corresponding to the second excess participation not attributable to the same participant, whose position amounted to 20.09%, although it was not communicated within the established deadline it was remedied and the corresponding significant event was communicated on September 15, 2023;
On the other hand, PRUDENTIAL SAF indicates that the excess participation occurred on July 26, 2023 in the FUND PHI INCOME corresponding to the excess participation not attributable to another participant, whose position amounted to 11.50%, although the significant event was not communicated timely, the significant event was sent on August 07, 2023;
In attention to what is exposed, the administrating society highlights that in the referred three (3) infringing conduct, although it did not communicate the respective significant events in a timely manner, it regularized the communication of them, so it must be considered that it acted diligently with respect to the circumstances of the infringing conduct;
Regarding the economic damage caused and its repercussion on the market, PRUDENTIAL SAF states that the omission of the communication of significant events regarding excess participation in the FUND PHI DEBT and the FUND PHI INCOME did not generate any economic damage to the participants of said funds, since the excess participations were adequately remedied in accordance with the REGULATION FM;
In that sense, the administrating society requests that when evaluating a possible sanction it be taken into account that it did not cause any economic damage either to the participants or to the market;
With regard to the illicit benefit resulting from the infractions, PRUDENTIAL SAF argues that the omission of communication of the significant events subject of this sanctioning procedure did not generate any illicit economic benefit, directly or indirectly, nor benefit of any other type in its favor, which must be taken into account when evaluating the eventual sanction to be imposed;

Regarding the probability of detection of the infractions, the administrating society states that it is high, which implied that the SMV did not deploy greater resources for its detection. The administrating society adds that both the fact of having made the late presentation of the significant events and the recognition made would demonstrate that it does not have the intention to hide or sustain any irregular conduct, which it considers should be taken into account when establishing the sanction to be imposed;
Regarding the gravity of the damage to the public interest and/or protected legal good, PRUDENTIAL SAF alleges that although the recognized conduct lies in the non-compliance with presenting significant events, it has recognized such infractions, avoiding that said conduct generate greater consequences in the transparency of the market;
With regard to the existence or non-existence of intent in the infringer's conduct, the administrating society highlights that the conduct did not have any intentional or malicious origin. On the contrary, PRUDENTIAL SAF specifies that it voluntarily remedied the communication to the market regarding the excess participations, showing that it did not have the intention to commit the recognized infractions;
PRUDENTIAL SAF adds that it has strengthened its controls regarding the participation limits in the funds it administers with the objective of mitigating non-compliance with current regulation9. In that sense, the administrating society indicates that these actions would allow mitigating regulatory non-compliance and would achieve a proactive management of the risks associated with the concentration of participants in the funds;
In attention to what is exposed, the administrating society sustains that
