Lima, Peru – July 12, 2018 –– Intercorp Financial Services Inc. (“IFS” or the “Company”) (BVL:IFS) announced today that the Lima Stock Exchange (BVL) has confirmed that IFS’ shares, which trade under the ticker symbol IFS, will form part of the Good Corporate Governance Index (Indice de Buen Gobierno Corporativo – S&P/ BVL IBGC, or the “Index”) from July 20, 2018 to July 19, 2019.
The Index recognizes companies with the best corporate governance standards in Peru, according to a rigorous selection process run by the BVL, which takes into consideration both the market’s perception (La Voz del Mercado, a survey conducted by the BVL), and a third-party validation from a consulting company accredited by the BVL.
IFS investors will economically benefit from this acknowledgment, as recently the BVL announced that, starting August 01, 2018, certain regulatory fees that are applied to the trading of shares would be subject to a 90% reduction if they involve shares that are part of this Index, with the objective of promoting a higher liquidity of these shares.
IFS reaffirms its commitment to offer the best corporate governance standards and practices to its stakeholders.
