| 5. | Relevant Events:
| a) | On January 26, 2023, the Board of Directors of Banco de Chile agreed to convene an Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting for March 23, 2023 in order to propose, among other matters, the following distribution of profits for the year ended on December 31, 2022:
| i. | Deduct and withhold from the net income of the year, an amount equivalent to the effect of inflation of the paid capital and reserves according to the variation of the Consumer Price Index that occurred between November 2021 and November 2022, amounting to Ch$542,504,045,836 which will be added to retained earnings from previous periods.
| ii. | Distribute in the form of dividend the remaining profit, corresponding to a dividend of Ch$8.58200773490 to each of the 101,017,081,114 shares of the Bank.
Consequently, it will be proposed a distribution as dividend of 61.5% of the profits for the year ending December 31, 2022.
| b) | On March 3, 2023, Banco de Chile informed the Financial Markets Commission that Mr. Alfredo Ergas Segal had ceased to hold office as Director of the Bank due to a supervening cause of incapacity arising from circumstances beyond his control. This was due to the fact that, within the framework of the corresponding periodic update at the Board meeting on December 22, 2022, a company in which Mr. Ergas is a Director was included as one of the Bank’s main clients, thus constituting the situation outlined in numeral 5 of subsection 3 of article 50 bis of Law 18,046 on corporations.
The aforementioned factual circumstances and the corresponding communication to the Superintendence of Pensions previously made by Mr. Ergas regarding the same matter, were reported by the Bank to the Commission for the Financial Market on December 30th. In turn, by Resolution No. E-250 of March 3, 2023, the Superintendence of Pensiones established the disability of Mr. Ergas, based on the verification of the cause of supervening disability referred to above. By virtue of the foregoing, the Independent Alternate Director Mr. Paul Fürst Gwinner assumed the role of Independent Regular Director, replacing Mr. Ergas in accordance with the procedure set forth in the Bank’s Bylaws.
| c) | On March 23, 2023, at the Bank’s Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, our shareholders proceeded to the complete renewal of the Board of Directors, due to the end of the legal and statutory three-year term with respect to the Board of Directors that has ceased in its functions.
After the corresponding voting at the aforesaid meeting, the following persons were appointed as the Bank’s Directors for a new three-year term:
