<P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Executive</FONT> Chairman of the Board of Directors </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico &#150; (BUSINESS WIRE) &#150; June&nbsp;28, 2019 &#150; Popular, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPOP) announced today that Richard L. Carri&oacute;n will
transition from his current role of Executive Chairman to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-executive</FONT> Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective July&nbsp;1, 2019. Carri&oacute;n was named Executive Chairman on July&nbsp;1, 2017, after
serving as CEO of Popular for 26 years, a role in which he was succeeded by Ignacio Alvarez. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;I know I speak for everyone in the Popular family in
expressing my heartfelt appreciation to Richard for his many years of exemplary service. Richard has been a truly iconic leader and I am grateful for his mentorship and trust during this transition. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to
continue to benefit from his guidance as Chairman of the Board,&#148; said Alvarez. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Carri&oacute;n, who joined the company in 1976, said &#147;Popular
has had a special place in my heart since childhood and I have been blessed to serve it in different roles over the past four decades. With the organization stronger than ever, supported by a talented team under Ignacio&#146;s leadership, this is
the appropriate time for me to transition to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-executive</FONT> role. It is a privilege to continue my service to Popular as Chairman of the Board.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">William J. Teuber, Jr., Lead Independent Director, added &#147;On behalf of a grateful Board, I would like to recognize Richard&#146;s contributions, vision
and his continued commitment to Popular, as well as Ignacio&#146;s leadership since he assumed the position of CEO. We look forward to continue working with both to ensure Popular remains a strong, growing and vibrant organization.&#148; </P>
