Mr.

President
Financial Market Commission
Present
Mr. 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 26th, 2020, 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 2019
|
|
b)
|
Deduct and retain from the net income of the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2019, an amount
equal to the correction of the paid capital value and reserves according to the Consumer Price Index variation occurred between
November 2018 and November 2019, for an amount of CLP 92,239,840,420, which will be added to the account of retained earnings from
previous fiscal years.
|
From the resulting balance,
distribute, as a dividend, 70% of the remaining net income, corresponding to a dividend of CLP 3.47008338564 per each one of the
101,017,081,114 Bank shares, retaining the remaining 30% thereof. 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 59.1%
of the income for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2019, 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.
