Class Action
Two class action lawsuits have been filed against the company and certain of our former officials in before the United States Court for the
 
Eastern District of New York during the first quarter of 2017 that were later consolidated into a single claim. The plaintiffs allege that during the class period the Company obtained equity investments from investors based on false and misleading statements that were made in breach of the Securities Act and that caused material losses to such investors In particular, it is complaint alleges that the defendant did not disclose, among other things, that: a) the Company knew that its partner Odebrecht was involved in illegal activities; and that, b) the Company profited from such activities in violation of its own corporate governance rules.
 
As of the date of this report, the Company has entered into term sheet with the plaintiffs’ counsel, whereby the parties undertake to ensure the termination of the class action, through the negotiation, conclusion and filing of the final settlement agreement before court. The amount stipulated for the termination of the class action equals to US $ 20 million. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has made a provision of S/49.8 million (US $ 15 million) and the surplus of US $ 5 million will be covered by a professional liability policy pursuant to settlement agreement entered with the insurer.
