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 the Board meeting held on June 20, 2012, the Board approved to contract with the related party Produban España a service contract to obtain an additional communications line for data processing to serves as an additional backup in case the existing lines have problems.

 

Regarding this operations, the Board members Lucía Santa Cruz Sutil, Mauricio Larraín Garcés, Oscar von Chrismar Carvajal, Víctor Arbulú Crousillat, Marco Colodro Hadjes, Roberto Zahler Mayanz, Roberto Méndez Torres, Carlos Olivos Marchant, Lisandro Serrano Spoerer and Raimundo Monge expressed that this contract is convenient for the Bank and that the price, terms and conditions of this contract have been made at market prices and in line with the favorable opinion of the Bank’s Audit Committee.

 

The Board also informs that the Board members Vittorio Corbo Lioi and Jesus Zabalza Lotina abstained from this decision given that the former is a board member and the latter a general director of Banca Santander S.A. (Grupo Santander), since Produban is owned by Grupo Santander.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Claudio Melandri Hinojosa

Chief Executive Officer
