Material
Event
In
conformity with Articles 9 and 10 of the Law 18,045 and Article 147 of Law No.
18,046, Banco Santander Chile informs that in an ordinary Board Meeting held on
November 23, 2010, the Board approved the following operations with the related
parties Isban España and Produban:
|
1)
|
Contract
of Technological Development with Isban España for Euros
$1,434,261.
|
|
2)
|
Contract
for the processing, support and maintenance of Global Banking and Markets
Platform. Processing will be in charge of Produban España and maintenance
will be in charge of Isban España.
|
Regarding
both operations, the board members Lucía Santa Cruz, Mauricio Larraín, Oscar von
Chrismar, Vittorio Corbo, Carlos Olivos. Victor Arbulú, Roberto Mendez, Roberto
Zahler and the alternate director Raimundo Monge and Juan Hoyos, expressed that
these operations contribute to the Bank’s interests and that the terms are in
line with market conditions as stated in the report issued by the Bank’s Audit
Committee.
It must
be pointed out that the Board member Jesús María Zabalza abstained from omitting
an opinion in these transactions as he is a Managing Director in Banco Santander
S.A. our parent company, and since Isban España and Produban España are
subsidiaries of Banco Santander S.A. and, therefore, Mr. Zabalza is possibly an
interested party in the transaction
Sincerely,
Claudio
Melandri Hinojosa
Chief
Executive Officer
