CorpBanca Announces
Third Quarter 2015 Financial Report;

Santiago, Chile, November 10, 2015. CORPBANCA (NYSE:BCA; SSE: CORPBANCA), a Chilean financial institution offering a wide variety of corporate and retail financial products and services, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015. This report is based on our unaudited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Chilean Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Solely for the convenience of the reader, U.S. dollar amounts in this report have been translated from Chilean nominal peso at our internal exchange rate as of September 30, 2015 of Ch$696.86 per U.S. dollar. Industry data contained herein has been obtained from the information provided by the Chilean Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (Superintendencia de Bancos e Instituciones Financieras, “SBIF”). Additionally “Year over Year” (YoY) states for the comparison between 3Q 2015 and 3Q 2014 and “Quarter over Quarter” (QoQ) states for the comparison between 3Q 2015 and 2Q 2015;

Financial Highlights
 
In the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 (9M 2015), Net Income attributable to shareholders totaled Ch$158.8 billion (Ch$0.47 per share, or US$1.00 per ADR), decreasing 0.8% when compared to the same period of 2014 (9M 2014). Sound loan growth in all business segments both in Chile and Colombia (when measured in each local currency) and synergies already delivered in Colombia were partially offset by higher provisions for loan losses, a negative translation effect COP/CLP of our Colombian subsidiary and the negative impact of lower year-to-date inflation in Chile on net interest margin and higher tax rates. Nonetheless we achieved 9M 2015 with 101% compliance regarding our budget for the period.
 
In 3Q 2015, Net Income attributable to shareholders totaled Ch$62.6 billion (Ch$0.18 per share, or US$0.40 per ADR), increasing 10.8% QoQ and 14.6% YoY. The main drivers for these periods results are explained below:
 
Total loans1 reached Ch$14.7 trillion as of September 30, 2015, decreasing 0.7% QoQ and 0.4% YoY. This trend is highly impacted by the negative translation effect COP/CLP. When considered the portfolios of Chile and Colombia separately in each local currency, total
 
Mr. Fernando Massú, CEO
 
In 3Q 2015 Net Income achieved Ch$62.6 billion -that breaks in Ch$53.6 billion for Chile and Ch$9.0 billion for Colombia-, an increase of 10.8% QoQ and 14.6% YoY. These figures favorably compare to the Chilean Banking Industry, which for the same periods showed significant decreases in Net Income of -18% and -19% respectively. While 2014 showed stronger results from Colombia, during 2015 we have been observing higher than expected results from Chile and lower that planned results from Colombia. The latter is explained by unfavorable COP/CLP exchange rate movements and higher LLP expenses as a consequence of difficulties experienced by the Colombian oil & gas industry and related sectors; while Chile’s operations have been favored by commercial customer driven results, higher NIMs as consequence of higher UF variations and lower LLPs than planned.
 
These extraordinary results have been achieved under lower than expected economic activity in Chile and Colombia. In particular, CorpBanca Colombia has been able to offset this more challenging economic context with the positive impact of cost savings already achieved from the completion of some of the stages of the merger between CorpBanca Colombia and Helm Bank. In the case of Chile, the stronger results have been achieved despite all the activities related to the merger with Banco Itaú Chile, efforts that have been taking

loans in Chile increased 1.8% QoQ and 8.3% YoY and total loans in Colombia increased 2.9% QoQ and 13.4% YoY. After achieving a long period of sustained growth in both countries, last quarters have shown a slower pace focusing only in segments with a higher risk-adjusted profitability.
 
 
Net operating profit before loan losses increased by 12.9% QoQ and by 7.7% YoY. In 3Q 2015 we achieved an annualized net interest margin (NIM) of 3.87%, slightly higher than the 3.74% in 3Q 2014 but lower when compared to 4.23% in 2Q 2015. This QoQ decrease in NIM is mainly the result of the aforementioned devaluation of the COP and a flat quarterly UF variation in Chile. This lower MIN was compensated by an increasing commercial activity of our local distribution desk that rise client derivative operations and benefit from regular loan portfolios sales.
 
Net provisions for loan losses decreased by 3.9% QoQ but increased 64.9% YoY, mainly as the result of higher collaterals in the Panamanian portfolio and the devaluation of the COP that has allowed compensating higher reserves in Colombia to prevent further deterioration in the gas and oil sector. Regarding YoY expenses, 3Q 2015 rise in provision expense was mainly due to the depreciation of the CLP in the quarter and the downgrade of some clients in the Corporate segment combine with the fact that in 3Q 2014 provisions for loan losses were particularly low, due to extraordinary provision releases related to our corporate portfolio.
 
Total operating expenses increased by 0.7% QoQ but decreased by 11.8% YoY. This QoQ increase is mainly due to special bonuses of the period and impairment on fix assets caused by recent natural disasters in Chile. Regarding YoY expenses, the improvement is primarily the result of synergies that have been delivered in Colombia.
higher momentum after the extraordinary shareholders meeting approved the transaction and the SBIF granted its authorization during this quarter.
 
 
YTD results exceeded our YTD budget by a couple of percentage points, and remains slightly below 2014 accumulative result by 0.8%. That remarkable performance positively compares to the Chilean Banking industry, whose results this year are -13.2% below 2014’s. The recent monthly results release for October 2015 also encourages us to make all our effort in order to end this year accomplishing the targets we set at the end of 2014.
 
In line with our strategy focused on non-conventional renewable energy and our permanent concern to maintain high level of corporate governance, we integrated into two major sustainability indices. The first one is the newly launched Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) Chile, becoming one of the twelve companies of the IPSA Index that compound the DJSI Chile. The second is the Euronext Vigeo Index - Emerging 70 (the 70 most advanced companies in the Emerging Market Region) that distinguishes companies achieving the most advanced Environmental, Social and Governance performances.
 
In connection with the pending merger between Banco Itaú Chile and CorpBanca, as indicated above, on September 4, 2015 we obtained the approval from the SBIF to merge both banks.
 
In this context integration working groups were resumed with the aim of completing the merger between March and April 2016.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis


I) Consolidated Financial Performance Review
 
The following table sets forth the components of our consolidated net income for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and June 30, 2015.
 
The 10.8% QoQ increase of shareholders net income to is mainly explained by higher net operating profit before loan losses -primarily due to higher net financial transactions as well as higher recoveries- and lower provisions for loans losses.
 
The 14.6% rise YoY is explained by higher net interest margin (NIM) as well as higher net financial transactions and lower operating expenses compared to 3Q 2014 despite the increase observed in loan losses and write-offs.

II) Unconsolidated Financial Performance Review: Chile and Colombia
 
The following table presents the results generated in Chile and Colombia separately for the 3Q 2015. The financial results of CorpBanca Chile include some expenses associated with our Colombian operations, which have to be excluded from our Chile’s book in order to observe Chile’s stand-alone results. Three are these adjustments: (i) interest expenses in connection with the portion of the acquisition of Banco Santander Colombia (known as CorpBanca Colombia since August 2012) that was not funded with new equity, that negatively impacted CorpBanca’s NIM in our Chilean operation; (ii) amortization of the intangible assets generated in the Banco Santander Colombia acquisition that affected operating expenses in Chile; and (iii) the impact of our fiscal hedge2, which is a consequence of a management’s decision to hedge the impact of the volatility of the US$/Ch$ exchange rate in the net income attributable to shareholders, through its effect on taxable income related to the revaluation/devaluation of our taxable investment in Colombia.
 
The adjusted 3Q 2015 results present, in our opinion, the closest approximation of the Chilean operation on a stand-alone basis:
 
____________________________________
2
For tax purposes, the “Servicio de Impuestos Internos” (Chilean IRS) considers that our investment in Colombia is denominated in US dollar. As we have to translate the valuation of this investment from US dollar to Chilean peso in our book each month, the volatility of the exchange rate generates a significant impact on the net income attributable to shareholders. In order to limit that effect, the management decided to hedge it with a derivative that has to be analyzed along with income tax expenses.

ii.  
Ch$22.0 billion of hedge taxes in US$.
 
iii.  
Ch$2.7 billion of intangible assets amortization and integration costs in Colombia.
 
Taking into account these adjustments, our estimated result for our stand-alone operations in Chile is Ch$64.0 billion of Adjusted Net Income in 3Q 2015.
 
The chart below shows our accumulative 12-month Consolidated Net Income trailing from December 31, 2008 through September 30, 2015, in Chile and Colombia. During the last 12-month ended September 30, 2015, our Net Income reached Ch$225 billion, a 3.7% increase QoQ and a 13.4% increase YoY. Our Chilean operation totaled Ch$161.7 billion and CorpBanca Colombia totaled Ch$63.3 billion, equivalent to almost one third of CorpBanca’s consolidated Net Income (compared to 15.3% in 2013).
 
 
 
*Net income attributable to shareholders in 2013 excludes Ch$16 billion of one-time profits from the sale of 31 real states properties.

Consolidated Net Interest Income
 
In 3Q 2015 our net interest income totaled Ch$162.3 billion, decreasing 7.0% QoQ but increasing 6.7% YoY.
 
The QoQ decrease was the result of a negative translation effect COP/CLP3 of our Colombian subsidiary (Ch$0.2265 per 1COP in 3Q 2015 vs. Ch$0.2454 per 1COP in 2Q 2015) and a flat quarterly UF variation in Chile (1.45% in 3Q 2015 vs 1.46% in 2Q 2015), as well as the regular loan portfolio sales and a reduction in available for sale investment portfolio in Chile.
 
The YoY increase was due to higher UF variation (1.45% in 3Q 2015 vs. 0.60% in 3Q 2014) and lower average cost of funds in 2015 our local time deposits as a consequence of a drop in monetary policy interest rate set by the Chilean Central Bank during 2014.
 
The aforementioned factors negatively and positively, respectively, impacted our net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest- earning assets), that decreased to 3.87% in 3Q 2015 from 4.23% in 2Q 2015 but increased YoY (3.87% in 3Q 2015 vs 3.74% in 3Q 2014).
 
The gap between assets and liabilities indexed to the UF was approximately Ch$746.1 billion in 3Q 2015, resulting in an impact of Ch$7.5 billion in results for each 100 bp of variation of the UF. This quarterly impact has maintained stable between Ch$7.0 billion and Ch$8.0 billion in the last 12-month (LTM).

(*) Includes consolidation adjustments.
 
In 3Q 2015 the net fee and commission income decreased 13.4% QoQ and 18.7% YoY.
 
On a QoQ basis, we were impacted by lower structured fees in the financial advisory services in Chile -which, as explained in previous Earnings Reports, show volatility on a QoQ basis because of the nature of its business activity- that were partly compensated by higher fees coming from our New York Branch.
 
On a YoY basis, we were impacted by lower flat fees and insurance commissions in Colombia, the devaluation of the COP and lower commissions from the New York Branch and our Financial Advisory Services in Chile that were partly compensated by the positive repricing effect of the Redbanc (interconnected network between banks through ATM) rate applied to ATMs transactions and the incorporation of Instacob -a collection company- as our subsidiary since March 2015.
 

_______________________________
3 Consolidated financial statements for CorpBanca use the Chilean peso as functional currency. Though CorpBanca Colombia financial statements are translated from Colombian peso to Chilean peso for consolidation purposes, being only the exchange rate variation in its income statement accounts reflected in YTD results. CorpBanca has decided not to hedge this translation risk effect in P&L as long as net income from Colombian operations is retained as primarily source of capitalization. Since we have decided to retain earnings to support future grow in Colombia, an FX hedge for financial statement balances is not efficient as it would be if there were a cash flow coming from our Colombian subsidiary. CorpBanca’s management revaluates this strategy on an annual basis.

In 3Q 2015 net total financial transactions result was Ch$72.6 billion, increasing 130.5% QoQ and 22.8% YoY.
 
This QoQ increase was the result of a higher valuation of our forward and swap portfolio -mainly driven by FX hedges-, an increasing commercial activity of our distribution desk both in derivatives transactions with customers and in regular loan portfolio sales, and the positive impact of the quarter US$/Ch$ over our hedge taxes in US$.
 
The YoY increase is explained by the benefits of regular loan portfolio sales that has partly offset lower results in our available for sale investment portfolio and the negative impact of the CLP and COP devaluation on our foreign exchange positions in Chile and Colombia.

Net provisions for loan losses decreased 0.9% QoQ but increased 83.1% YoY. The QoQ decrease was mainly the result of higher collaterals in the Panamanian portfolio and the devaluation of the COP that compensated higher reserves in Colombia to prevent deterioration given current situation affecting the gas and oil sector. Our current exposure to oil and gas sector was barely 2.8% of our consolidated loan portfolio, of which 2.3% represented Colombian exposure to such sector. In Chile our provisions for loan losses increased due to the downgrade of a corporate loan and the regularization of the number of defected students that require a 10% loan loss provision instead of 1% provision required for normal students’ loans portfolio that were partly compensated by the release in provisions due to regular loan portfolio sales.
 
The YoY increase is mainly explained by the depreciation of the CLP in third quarter, higher provisions from Colombia for consolidation purposes only -the regulatory criteria that we have to follow for the Colombian loan portfolio is the most conservative provisioning rule between Chile and Colombia-, the downgrade of some clients in the corporate segment combined with the fact that in 3Q 2014 provisions for loan losses were particularly low, due to extraordinary provision releases related to our corporate portfolio.
 
The chart below illustrates how our consolidated total loan loss allowances / total loans ratio and Chile’s total loan loss allowances / total loans ratio compare to the industry average in Chile.

Risk Index (Loan loss allowances / Total loans)
 
 
According to the SBIF, CorpBanca has maintained one of the lowest credit risk indices (total loan loss allowances / total loans) in the Chilean banking industry over the past five years, consistent with one of our core pillars related to high quality loan portfolio. We believe that our risk management processes and methodology enable us to identify risks and resolve potential problems on a timely basis.
 
The following chart compares our consolidated non-performing loan (NPL) ratio with the industry’s average in Chile. CorpBanca´s high asset quality was maintained following the acquisition of Banco Santander Colombia in May 2012 and Helm Bank in August 2013.

Operating expenses increased 0.7% QoQ but decreased by 11.8% YoY. This QoQ slightly increase is mainly due to special bonuses of the period (national holiday bonus) and impairment on fix assets caused by recent natural disasters in Chile. Regarding YoY expenses, the improvement is primarily the result of synergies already delivered in Colombia and the absence of one-time expenses related to the merger process between CorpBanca Colombia and Helm Bank.

Regarding the expenses related to the merger process with Banco Itaú Chile, in 3Q 2015 we recorded a provision of Ch$3.9 billion which compared to Ch$4.2 billion in 2Q 2015 and to Ch$8.0 billion in 3Q 2014.
 

Consolidated Tax Expenses
 
Our Income tax expenses increased 143.7% QoQ and 51.9% YoY. On a QoQ basis, tax expenses’ increase is explained by a significant release of provisions in Colombia in 2Q 2015, higher tax rates and a higher CLP depreciation that results in a higher tax expense over our investment in Colombia -which despite of been made in COP, for tax purposes is considered to be in US dollars (as detailed in footnote 2 on page 3)- this impact is offset by the gains on the hedge tax as previously mentioned on page 6.

Our total loan portfolio decreased by 0.7% QoQ and 0.4% YoY. These trends are highly impacted by the negative translation effect COP/CLP for consolidation purposes. When considered the loans portfolios of Chile and Colombia separately in each local currency, total loans in Chile increased 1.8% QoQ and 8.3% YoY and total loans in Colombia increased 2.9% QoQ and 13.4% YoY. After achieving a long period of sustained growth in both countries, last quarters have shown a slower pace focusing only in segments with a higher risk-adjusted profitability that allow us to maintain healthy asset quality and at the same a stable BIS ratio. This ratio was negatively impacted by the special dividend distribution of approximately US$400 million, proposed to shareholders to approve the Itáu-CorpBanca merger.
 
When analyzing the loan portfolio by segments, retail lending in Chile increased 0.4% QoQ and 3.8% YoY, reflecting the impact of a significant lower pace in residential mortgage loans where that the bank continue to focus on loans with loan-to-values (LTV) below 80% at origination. In Colombia, retail loans increased 2.8% QoQ and 11.5% YoY when measured in COP. Wholesale lending in Chile increased 2.2% QoQ and 9.9% YoY and in Colombia increased 3.0% QoQ and 14.7% YoY in its local currency reflecting the current economic

environment. These trends show that our loan portfolio continued to grow in all segments in Colombia this quarter, even though the pace has maintained in one digit compared to the two digits increase in 2014.
 
According to SBIF, our market share in Chile, on an unconsolidated basis, was 7.2% in September 2015, reflecting a decrease of 21 bp compared to September 30, 2014. In Colombia, despite the ongoing integration process related to the Helm Bank merger, our market share remained quite stable, reaching 6.2% as of August 31, 2015, according to the SFC.

Our total financial investments portfolio increased 1.7% QoQ and 63.8% YoY, as the result of an increase in our Colombian operation investment portfolio.
 
Our investment portfolio consists of trading, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities. Trading instruments correspond to fixed income securities acquired to generate gains from short-term price fluctuations or brokerage margins. Trading instruments are stated at fair value.
 
Investment instruments are classified in two categories: held-to-maturity investments and instruments available-for-sale. On a consolidated basis, we currently have a small portfolio of held-to-maturity investments, allocated in Colombia. All other financial investment securities are classified available-for-sale. Investment securities are initially recognized at cost, which includes transaction costs. Securities available-for-sale at each subsequent period-end are valued at their fair value according to market prices or based on valuation models. Unrealized gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are charged or credited to equity accounts.

In addition to regulatory liquidity risk controls, we have also set internal liquidity limits, in order to safeguard CorpBanca’s payment capacity in the event of illiquid conditions. We have also established a minimum for our securities portfolio that enables cash flows to be quickly generated either through liquidation or because they can be used as collateral for new funding sources. As part of our policy, we have developed two internal liquidity models:
 
1.  
Minimum Liquidity Requirement: In order to ensure that CorpBanca will permanently hold enough liquid assets to meet all payments derived from obligations to third parties over the next three days, we set a limit on the minimum amount of liquid assets to be held on a daily basis.
 
2.  
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR): We seek to ensure that, even under adverse conditions, we have access to the funds necessary to cover customers needs and maturing liabilities. The purpose of the LCR model is to evaluate our funding capacity assuming a hypothetical scenario of illiquidity. The LCR is based on a stress scenario which assumes that an unusually large proportion of liabilities would be withdrawn over the next 20 days according with a stressed volatility and liquid assets will have to cover excess requirements.

Our current funding strategy is to optimize all sources of funding in accordance with their costs, their availability and our general asset and liability management strategy. The funding structure in the period of time analyzed in this report remained stable; the limited changes are mostly related to debt maturity profile, debt placements and transitory situation such as:
 
i.  
Time deposits increased from Ch$8,300.0 billion in 2Q 2015 to Ch$8,419.8 billion in 3Q 2015 due to the funding of the special dividend payment in July 1st, 2015.
 
During the last twelve months we successfully placed senior notes in local and international markets. On September 23th, 2014 CorpBanca placed US$750 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Senior Notes in the international market, primarily to fund lending activities. Between July and September 2015, we issued Ch$3.5 billion and UF 1.64 billion senior notes in local market, to refinance part of debt maturity profile and fund loan growth. On September 2015, we prepaid a syndicated loan facility for US$490 million due on October 2015 and obtained a new facility for US$315 million due in April 2017 in line with our strategy to diversify funding sources, strengthen liquidity and financed commercial activities.

As of September 30, 2015, according to the SBIF, CorpBanca was the fourth largest private bank in Chile, based on equity (Ch$1,474.8 billion, or US$2,116.3 billion, as of September 30, 2015). We have 340,358,194.2 thousand shares outstanding and a market capitalization of Ch$2,086.7 billion, or US$3.0 billion, (based on a share price of Ch$6.131 peso per share) as of September 30, 2015.
 
During the last two years, we successfully increased twice our capital base which allowed us to fund our investments in Colombia and organic growth, negatively impacting our RoEs for the period these investments require maturing. In 2012 we raised capital in the aggregate amount of Ch$268.75 billion or US$533 million, for the acquisition of Banco Santander Colombia. In 2013 we raised capital in the aggregate amount of US$623 million for the acquisition of Helm Bank in Colombia. During the last capital increase, investment funds of the International Finance Corporation, or IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, acquired a 5% equity interest in CorpBanca, pursuant to an investment agreement with CorpGroup, Compañía Inmobiliaria y de Inversiones Saga SpA, and CorpGroup Inversiones Bancarias Ltda.
 
In 3Q 2015 total equity decreased by Ch$248.0 billion compared to 1Q 2015, mainly due to special dividend payment.

RoAA (%)
 
 
 
 
 
 
The trend in our returns on average asset (RoAA) and on average equity (RoAE4) have changed since December 2013. This shift was the result of (i) consolidation of CorpBanca Colombia for a full year since 2013 and of Helm Bank for a full year since 2014; and (ii) the higher UF variation in 2014 (Δ+2.05% in 2013 vs. Δ+5.65% in 2014) along with low monetary policy interest rate in Chile. During 3Q 2015 RoAE increased compared to 3Q 2014 and the industry average.
 
In LTM ended September 30, 2015, we achieved a return on average equity (RoAE*) of 17.1%, equivalent to an increase of 211 bp compared to 15.0% in the same period 2014. After being impacted by the capital injections to enable our organic growth in Chile and our acquisitions in Colombia, between the third quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2013 -totaling approximately US$1.57 billion (a 137.1% increase over the same time period)-, our RoAEs have been recovering showing (i) the early stages of the ongoing merger process in

CorpBanca paid its annual dividend of Ch$0.3321397925/share in Chile on March 13, 2015 (equivalent to a payout ratio of 50%) and additionally paid a special dividend of Ch$0.704728148/share on July 1, 2015. For purposes of capital requirements, dividends are provisioned at the current dividend policy rate set by the shareholders meeting in 2011 (50%).
 
On January 29, 2014 Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. (“Itaú Unibanco”), Banco Itaú Chile, CorpBanca, Inversiones Corp Group Interhold Limitada (“CGI”) and Inversiones Gasa Limitada (together with CGI, “CorpGroup”) entered into an agreement, the following matters:
 
i.  
The merger of Banco Itaú Chile into CorpBanca, creating Itaú CorpBanca
 
ii.  
Itaú Unibanco will control Itaú CorpBanca
 
iii.  
Itaú Unibanco and CorpGroup will sign a Shareholders’ Agreement
 
iv.  
Itaú CorpBanca will control CorpBanca’s and Itaú Unibanco’s Colombian entities
 
v.  
CorpBanca will be the surviving legal entity
 
On June 26 and 30, 2015, respectively, CorpBanca and Banco Itaú Chile’s Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meetings (ESM) approved the proposed merger and agreed to modify the aforementioned agreement, involving:
 
i.  
Special dividend for CorpBanca’s current shareholders in an amount of US$400 million in the aggregate, from which Ch$239.86 billion were paid on July 1st, 2015 (the remaining UF 124,105 will be paid at time of 2016 annual Shareholders’ Meeting)
 
ii.  
Reduction of Banco Itaú Chile 2014 dividend by Ch$16.4 billion
 
iii.  
New dividend policy for 2015 fiscal year
 
iv.  
Extension of the deadline for the purchase of CorpGroup’s stake in CorpBanca Colombia
 
v.  
Closing date to occur between January 1, 2016 and May 2, 2016
 
Following the approval of both ESMs, a special dividend provision in the amount of Ch$239.86 billion was issued on June 30, 2015. In that specific context, our capital ratios decreased from 11.8% in 1Q 2015 to 9.7% in 2Q 2015 and to 9.3% in 3Q 2015, as the result of the aforementioned provision that impacted regulatory capital combined with higher negative valuation adjustments (61.5% QoQ) mainly due to translation effects in equity and higher risk weighted assets (1.2% QoQ) due to loan growth during the third quarter.
 
Once the merger is consummated, the combined capital ratios will improve significantly boosted by current TIER I capital of Banco Itaú Chile and pending US$552 million capital injection prior to the merger from Itaú Unibanco. Furthermore the shareholders' agreement between CorpGroup and Itaú Unibanco has a strict policy regarding minimum capital levels of the merged bank, requiring the maximum between 1.2x above the regulatory minimum and the average of the three largest banks. Under the General Banking Act current definitions of capital requirements and risk-weighted assets (RWA), CorpBanca estimates that the combined BIS Ratio should achieve a range between 13%-16% along with a TIER one Ratio between 12% and 13%.
 
 
 
 
   
Press Release
November 10, 2015
Page 13 / 24
 
 
Therefore, the capital ratios levels reported on September 2015 are temporary and limited to the period ending with the merger that will occur no later than May 2, 2016.
 
The Chilean Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank of Chile and the SBIF have announced a law amendment in order to align Chilean regulation for capital requirements to Basel II/III standards and it is expected a 7-year period for gradual implementation.
