Mrs. President:

 

I inform you that the Board of Directors of Banco de Chile agreed to summon to an Ordinary Shareholders Meeting to be held on March 23, 2023, at 10:00 o’clock, at the Bank’s Auditorium located at 930 Huérfanos Street, Santiago, in order to address the following matters:

 

a) Approval of Annual Report, Balance Sheet, Financial Statement and External Auditors Report of Banco de Chile, for the year 2022.

 

b)

Deduct and retain from the net income of this fiscal year, an amount equal to the correction of the paid capital value and reserves according to the Consumer Price Index variation occurred between November 2021 and November 2022, for an amount of CLP 542,504,045,836, which will be added to the account of retained earnings from previous fiscal years.

 

From the resulting balance, distribute, as a dividend, the remaining net income, corresponding to a dividend of CLP 8.58200773490 per each one of the 101,017,081,114 Bank shares. Such dividend will be distributed among those shareholders who own shares registered in their names, as of midnight of the fifth working day prior to the date of payment.

 

Thus, a distribution of 61.5% of the net income for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2022, will be proposed as a dividend.

 

The dividend, should this be approved by the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting, will be paid once the latter has ended, at the offices of the Bank. For those shareholders who have instructed to be payed the amount of dividends in their bank accounts, the respective deposit will be made according to their mandate.
