The
Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this
“Amendment”) to its annual report on Form 20-F for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, as filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 23, 2024
(the “2024 Form 20-F”). The Company is filing this
Amendment to provide separate audited consolidated financial
statements and related notes of Banco Hipotecario S.A. as of and
for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 (the “Financial
Statements of Banco Hipotecario”), including the report of
independent auditor relating thereto, as required under Rule 3-09
of Regulation S-X under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which were
inadvertently omitted in the 2024 Form 20-F. Banco Hipotecario was
a significant subsidiary of the Company under Rule 3-09 of
Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act for the Company’s
fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
This
Amendment consists solely of the cover page, this explanatory note,
the Financial Statements of Banco Hipotecario, and certifications
of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Other
than as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment does not, and
does not purport to, amend, update or restate the information in
any part of the 2024 Form 20-F or reflect any events that have
occurred after the 2024 Form 20-F was filed on October 23, 2024.
The filing of this Amendment, and the inclusion of newly executed
certifications, should not be understood to mean that any other
statements contained in the 2024 Form 20-F are true and complete as
of any date subsequent to October 23, 2024.
This
Amendment should be read in conjunction with the 2024 Form 20-F and
our other filings with the SEC.
