RELEVANT INFORMATION

 

Bogota. July 12, 2017. Grupo Aval Acciones y Valores S.A. (“Grupo Aval”) informs that Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody´s”) improved the rating outlooks of Banco de Bogotá S.A., Grupo Aval Acciones y Valores S.A. and Grupo Aval Limited (from “negative” to “stable”) and affirmed their ratings.

 

Among other reasons, the improvement in Banco de Bogota's outlook and affirmation of its ratings consider that the bank has maintained a significantly improved level of capital since completing its corporate restructuring in June 2016, sustained by sound earnings generation and lower capital consumption.

 

Additionally, the rating action in Banco de Bogotá S.A. caused similar rating actions in Grupo Aval and Grupo Aval Limited. Moody’s acknowledged Grupo Aval's relatively stable leverage ratios, and ample liquidity, with liquid assets sufficient to cover a meaningful portion of debt maturities in the next three years.
