Medellin, Colombia, January 28, 2019
The following rules defined by the Board of Directors and included in the Corporate Governance Code and the Bylaws of the Company, which are applicable to the legal representatives, managers, and employees of BANCOLOMBIA S.A. and FIDUCIARIA BANCOLOMBIA S.A. in order to assure equal treatment to all of its Shareholders, will be considered at the General Shareholders’ meeting to be held on March 22, 2019.
The prohibitions established in the Corporate Governance Code are:

2. Receiving from shareholders powers of attorney for the General Shareholders’ Meeting without clearly indicating the name of the representative appointed to attend the General Shareholders’ Meeting.
3. Admit as valid powers of attorney for the General Shareholders’ Meeting powers of attorney that do not meet the legal requirements, namely, that the powers of attorney be granted in writing, indicating the name of the proxy, the name of the shareholder the proxy is representing, if applicable, and the date of the meeting. The legal entities granting a power of attorney must also attach a recent certificate of existence and representation in accordance with the law.
4. Suggesting or deciding who will act as proxy representative for shareholders at the General Shareholders’ Meeting.
5. Recommending to the shareholders who they should vote for in a list. This does not preclude the Board of Directors and the President to present proposals to the General Shareholders’ Meeting.
