Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Plan Participants and Plan Administrator
Oriental Bank CODA Profit Sharing Plan:
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of The
 
Oriental Bank CODA
Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statement of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively, the
financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net
assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting
 
firm registered with the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent
with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
Accompanying Supplemental Information
 
 
The supplemental information, Schedule G, Part III - Nonexempt Transactions for the year ended
December 31, 2019, and the Schedule H, Line 4i – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year)
 
as of
December 31, 2019 have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the
Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s
 
management. Our
audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial
statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test
the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our
 
opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form
and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting
 
 
 
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental
information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

Description of the Plan
The following description of The Oriental Bank CODA Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general
information. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s
provisions.
 
a)
 
General
The Plan was organized on January 1, 1992 as a defined contribution plan originally maintained by Oriental
Bank (the “Employer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of OFG Bancorp (the “Company”), for the benefit of
the Employer’s and its affiliated companies’ employees who are residents of Puerto Rico and are age 21 or
older. The Plan is intended to be a qualified plan pursuant to the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of
2011, as amended (the “PR Code”). In 2016, the Plan was amended or restated to meet the requirements of
Sections 401(a) and (k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “US Code”).
 
In 2018,
the Puerto Rico Treasury Department (the “PR Treasury”) reaffirmed
 
the Plan’s qualification under the PR
Code.
 
It contains a cash or deferred arrangement qualifying under the PR Code and is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
 
As such, the
Plan must comply with reporting and disclosure requirements, participation and vesting standards, and
fiduciary standards and duties, among other requirements.
 
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has full
authority to regulate and investigate the Plan. The DOL reviewed the Plan, as it was selected under the
DOL’s
 
ordinary investigation procedures. On December 18, 2019, the Employer received a findings letter
from the DOL outlining certain potential violations of the Prohibited Transaction Rules of ERISA. The
Employer worked with the DOL to resolve this matter in early 2020. The DOL has not yet issued a closing
letter in this matter, as it is reviewing the corrective actions taken by the Employer.
 
For more information
related thereto, please refer to Note 9.
b)
 
Contributions
 
Each year, participants may contribute up to the maximum deferral amount under the provisions of Section
402(g) of the US Code as annually indexed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). For the
periods ended 2019 and 2018,
 
the limits were $19,000 and $18,500,
 
respectively.
 
If, in addition to a
deferral election under the Plan, participants contribute to an individual retirement account (“IRA”) in
Puerto Rico, pre-tax contributions
 
to both the Plan and the Puerto Rico IRA in the aggregate cannot exceed
the sum of the annual deferral limit under the PR Code ($20,000 for the tax years ended December 31,
2019 and 2018). Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other Puerto Rico
and U.S. qualified defined benefit or contribution plans.
 
Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan.
The Plan currently offers pooled separate accounts, a stable value fund, and shares of common stock of the
Company as investment options for participants. Participants direct the investment of their matching
contributions in the Plan. The Employer provides a discretionary matching contribution of 50% of each
participant’s contributions up to a maximum contribution for matching purposes of 4% of the participant’s
compensation per year.
c)
 
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s
 
contribution and allocations of the Employer’s
contribution and Plan earnings and charged with an allocation of administrative fees. Allocations are based
on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled to is
the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

d)
 
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon. The Employer’s
contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon vest upon the occurrence of any of the
following events: completion of three years of credited service; attaining age 65; total disability while
employed by the Employer; or death while employed by the Employer.
e)
 
Payment of Benefits
On termination of service due to death, disability, or retirement, a participant or its heirs may elect to
receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account in either a lump sum amount, a fixed period
that may not exceed the participant’s life expectancy or through a fixed annuity contract. For termination of
service for other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a
lump sum distribution.
f)
 
Loans to Participants
The Plan does not allow for loans to participants. In October 2013, the
Plan Participación en Beneficios
1081 Banco Bilb
ao Vizcaya Argentaria Puerto Rico, a defined contribution plan which covered all full-time
employees of the Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Puerto Rico, which merged
 
with and into Oriental
Bank, transferred its existing participant loans amounting to approximately $54,000 to the Plan. These
loans will be extinguished as they are repaid by participants. Loan terms range from 1-5 years or up to 30
years for a home loan. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at
a rate commensurate with the interest rate charged by persons in the business of lending money for loans
which would be made under similar circumstances. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll
deductions. No additional loans will be granted to participants.
g)
 
Forfeited Accounts
Employer contributions that are not vested upon termination of employment are forfeited and may be used
to pay administrative expenses and then reduce future contributions to the Plan by the Employer. For the
year ended December 31, 2019, forfeitures totaling approximately $35,000 were used to offset Employer
contributions. At December 31, 2019, the Plan had approximately $2,900 in forfeitures available to pay
administrative expenses and reduce future Employer contributions.
h)
 
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Employer has the right under the Plan to discontinue
its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to ERISA provisions. In the event of Plan
termination, participants will become 100% vested in their Employer’s contributions.

Summary
 
of Significant Accounting Policies
Following are the significant accounting policies followed by the Plan:
a)
 
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared under the accrual method of accounting.
b)
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could
differ from those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the
near term is the valuation of investments.
c)
 
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various financial instruments. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such
as interest rate, credit, and market risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment
securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the fair values of investment securities will occur in the
near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts
reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
d)
 
Investments Valuation
 
and Income Recognition
Plan investments, other than fully benefit –responsive investment contracts (FBRICs), are stated at fair
value. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements.
FBRICs are reported at contract value, which is the amount participants would receive if they were to
initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The Plan invests in FBRICs through the Stable
Value
 
Fund.
 
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the
accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the declaration date, taking into consideration the ex-dividend
date. Net appreciation/ depreciation includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold as
well as held during the year.
e)
 
Payments of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
f)
 
Plan Expenses
Under the Plan’s contract entered into with Transamerica Retirement Solutions
 
Corporation
(“Transamerica”), contract asset charges are assessed each month based on the actual combined balance of
all separate accounts and the stable value fund. These charges are presented as administrative fees in the
Plan’s statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.
Administrative expenses, including trustee, legal, auditing, and other fees, may be paid out of the invested
assets unless paid by the Employer. Expenses assumed and paid by the Employer during the year ended
December 31, 2019 amounted to approximately $137,000.
g)
 
Recent Accounting Developments
Accounting standards that have been issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
 
or
other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Plan’s statements of net
assets available for benefits or the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Fair Value
As discussed in Note 2, the Plan uses the fair value measurement framework under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
 
Fair Value
 
Measurement
 
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the
principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to
measure fair value are:
 
Level 1
– assets include equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain
money market instruments. Valuations
 
are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market
transactions involving identical assets.
Level 2
– observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets; quoted prices in
markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market
data for substantially the full term of the assets.
Level 3
– unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the
fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets include financial instruments whose value is determined
using pricing models, for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or
estimation. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Plan did not have such assets.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value:
Shares of the Company’s
 
common stock
: valued at quoted closing market prices (“Level 1”).
Money Market Instruments
: stated at fair value, which approximates cost plus accumulated interest earnings less
distributions to date (“Level 1”).
Pooled Separate Accounts
: stated at readily determinable fair value. The fair value is determined by the issuer and is
valued daily using publicly available quoted market prices matched with the current underlying investment holdings
of the accounts (“Level 2”).
The estimated fair value is subjective in nature and involves uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and,
therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could affect these fair value estimates.
 
The
fair value estimates do not take into consideration the value of future business and the value of assets and liabilities
that are not financial instruments.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the years ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Stable Value Fund
 
Transamerica offers a stable value fund that the participant may elect to transfer all or part of his or her funds. The
stable value fund is considered a fully benefit-responsive investment contract. Contract value is the relevant
measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits. Contract value, as reported by
Transamerica, is the beginning balance plus any deposit and credited interest, less any withdrawals, charges, or
expenses, a measurement that approximates fair value. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer
of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.
 
There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of Transamerica or otherwise. The contract value of the
investment contract at December 31, 2019 and 2018
 
was $6,565,321 and $6,410,664,
 
respectively. The stable value
fund invests in Guaranteed Investment Contracts (“GICs”). These investments seek to protect against any loss of
principal while providing returns in excess of money market funds and one-year U.S. Treasury bills. The investment
has a portfolio investment rate design in which all deposits are credited with the same interest rate, on a daily basis,
and with no set maturity. The effective
 
credited interest rate is set monthly and effective on the first day of the
month. Contract charges may reduce this return. The Transamerica stable value fund is not a separate account
investment choice – it is an investment in Transamerica’s general account.
 
Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with Transamerica. Such events include the
following: (1) the Plan is changed so as to significantly affect Transamerica’s
 
obligations to the contract, (2) the
contract can no longer be treated as a pension plan contract, (3) the Plan is terminated, (4) failure to comply with the
contract’s requirements, (5) failure to provide information, (6) the sum of the contract account values at any time
equals $20,000 or less, or (7) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any
required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA. The plan administrator is not aware of any events, which
would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with participants that are probable.

Other assets
 
Transamerica rebates certain amounts to the Plan based on a fee concession. The rebate amount at December 31,
2019 and 2018 is equal to 34 and 14 basis points, respectively, per year based on the balances with Transamerica.
This rebate is calculated on a monthly basis and credited to the Expense Budget Account; a suspense account used
by Transamerica.
 
The Expense Budget Account may be used for plan expenses or allocated to participants as additional income.
During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Plan reallocated to participants approximately $31,000
and $22,000,
 
respectively.
 
As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the Expense Budget Account maintained a balance
of approximately $177,000 and $31,000, respectively, included as other assets in the statements of net asset
available for benefit.

Related-Party Transactions
 
Certain Plan investments are shares of the Company’s common stock. The Employer is the Plan sponsor and trustee
and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and, therefore, qualifies as a party in interest. At December 31, 2019
and 2018, the Plan held an investment of 262,176 and 276,306 shares of the Company’s common stock,
respectively. The fair value of the common stock at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $6,189,993 and $4,548,003,
respectively.
 
Transamerica serves as custodian and manages the pooled separate accounts and stable value fund, therefore,
qualifies as party in interest. Transamerica contracted Oriental Insurance, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company,
 
as the
insurance agent. Another party in interest to the Plan is MidAdtlantic, which serves as the custodian for the Plan.
 
 
The recordkeeper of the Plan is Oriental Pension Consultants, Inc. (“OPC”), a subsidiary of the Company. Fees
charged by OPC for services provided were assumed by the Employer.
(7)
 
Income Taxes
The trust that forms part of the Plan (the “Trust”) is intended to be exempt from Puerto Rico and U.S. federal
incomes taxes pursuant to the PR Code and the US Code, respectively.
 
Accordingly, the IRS ruled on March 31,
2014 that the Trust constitutes a qualified trust under Section 401(a) of the US Code, and, therefore, the Trust is not
subject to U.S. federal income tax.
 
The PR Treasury ruled on March 28, 2018 that the Plan constitutes a qualified
plan pursuant to the provisions of Section 1081.01 of the PR Code and, therefore, the Trust is not subject to Puerto
Rico income tax.
 
As applicable, the Plan is required to operate in accordance with the provisions of the PR Code
and the US Code to maintain its qualification.
 
The Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and
operating in compliance with such provisions and, therefore, remains qualified under the PR Code and the US Code.
 
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan
and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not
be sustained upon examination by the IRS and the PR Treasury.
 
As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, there are no
uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition or disclosure in the financial
statements.
 
The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions.
 
However, there are currently no audits in
progress for any tax periods. The Plan is no longer subject to income tax examinations for the years prior to 2015.
 
(8)
 
Excess Contributions Payable to Participants
The Plan is subject to certain non-discrimination rules under the PR Code. As of December 31, 2019, the Plan failed
certain of the non-discrimination tests under the PR Code due to lower contribution percentages by non-highly
compensated eligible employees relative to the contribution percentages of highly compensated eligible employees.
In order to meet the requirements of the non-discrimination rules, the Plan refunded a portion of the contributions
made by highly compensated participants, in accordance with applicable provisions of the PR Code. The refund for
2019, paid in March 2020,
 
totaled $56,812 and was included as other liabilities in the Plan’s statement of net assets
available for benefits. For the year ended on December 31, 2018, the Plan was in compliance with all of the non-
discrimination tests under the PR Code.

Non-Exempt Prohibited Transaction
From
 
December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2018, Oriental Bank engaged in certain non-exempt prohibited
transactions under ERISA in connection with Plan assets. As a result of such transactions, Oriental Bank benefited
from the use of Plan assets by receiving certain commissions from a third party without offset or rebates to the Plan.
 
Oriental Bank remitted $567,528, including interest, to the Plan and allocated this amount to Plan participants in
May 2020 as remediation for said transactions. It is recorded as an account receivable in the Plan’s statement of net
assets available for benefits.

Subsequent events
On March 11, 2020, the World
 
Health Organization (WHO) classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic,
triggering volatility in financial markets and a significant negative impact on the global economy. The values of the
Plan’s individual investments are expected to fluctuate in response to changing market conditions and the amount of
losses that will be recognized in subsequent periods cannot be determined. The full impact of the COVID-19
outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this annual report.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020 in the
United States. The CARES Act offers relief provisions to tax-qualified retirement plans and their participants. Plan
management has adopted certain relief provisions included in the CARES Act and continues to evaluate provisions
in relation to the Plan.
The Plan was amended to allow eligible plan participants,
 
who are Puerto Rico residents in 2020, to take earthquake
and COVID-19 eligible distributions from February 20, 2020 through June 30, 2020 pursuant to PR Treasury
Administrative Determinations 20-09 and 20-23. Any such eligible distributions, which are available only in a lump
sum payment, are limited to $100,000 overall and receive a favorable tax benefit under said administrative
determinations. In particular, the first $10,000 is exempt from income taxes and the alternative minimum tax (AMT)
under the PR Code and the amount over $10,000 up to $100,000 is subject to a flat 10% income tax rate if the tax is
withheld at the time of the distribution.
The Plan has evaluated subsequent events from the date of the statement of net assets available for benefits through
June 26, 2020 (the filing date of this annual report).
