shareholders
Bogotá. The Colombian Securities Exchange in its Ordinary Shareholders Meeting on March
30, 2016 approved the distribution of COP 16,618 million of its 2015 profits. This is COP 0.89
per security. The distributable funds will be paid in cash in two payments: The first will be for
COP 0.45 per stock, paid on April 29, 2016, while the second will be for COP 0.44 per stock,
paid on June 29, 2016.
The BVC CEO, Juan Pablo Córdoba, stated that the dividend amounted to an investment return
of 5.22% at the close of December 31, 2015.
“The success of the period involved materializing the diversification strategy, as well as the
consolidation of new areas of business and revenue, which allow for delivery of the same
return despite an adverse juncture that decreased the prices and trading volume in the
market,” said Córdoba.
On the other hand, the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting appointed members from the Board of
Directors for the April 2016 to March 2017 period, the majority of whom are independent
members: Sergio Clavijo Vergara, Julián Domínguez Rivera, Carlos Eduardo Jaimes Jaimes,
Javier Jaramillo Velásquez, Roberto Junguito Bonnet, Santiago Montenegro Trujillo and Juan
Camilo Vallejo Arango. The following were selected as non-independent members: Rafael
Aparicio Escallón, Aura Marleny Arcila Giraldo, Juan Luis Franco Arroyave, Diego Jiménez
Posada, Mauricio Rosillo Rojas and Germán Salazar Castro.
