RELEVANT INFORMATION

 

Bogotá, May 11, 2020. Grupo Aval Acciones y Valores S.A. (“Grupo Aval”) informs that its subsidiary Banco de Bogotá (through its subsidiary Leasing Bogotá S.A. Panamá) has agreed to amend the purchase agreement for up to 100% of the outstanding common shares (the “SPA”) of Multi Financial Group, Inc. (“MFG”), parent company of Panamanian bank Multibank. The parties mutually agreed to amend the SPA after certain conditions precedent were not met in a timely manner before the originally scheduled closing on April 28, 2020. The transaction has obtained the required regulatory approvals and is now expected to close before the end of May, 2020.

 

In addition to the amendment of the closing date of the transaction, the agreed price was reduced by 39%, from 1.3 times MFG’s Total Shareholders’ Equity at closing (which includes $110 million dollars represented in preferred shares) to approximately 0.85 times the estimated Total Shareholders’ Equity at closing (including the $110 million dollars in preferred shares).
