Companies that have 200 employees or more, must provide the
following informatation on a yearly basis:

- Audited Financial Statements; and
- All public information that, according to the legislation
currently in force, must be delivered to the Superintendence of
Securities and Insurances ("SVS").
This information must be delivered within 30 days counted from
the date in which the documents were available or delivered to the
SVS, as applicable.
2. Micro, small and medium-size companies.
Companies that have between 1 to 199 employees must deliver each
year information regarding their incomes and expenses declared
before the local Internal Revenue Service ("Servicio de
Impuestos Internos") for income tax purposes, pursuant to
the tax regime to which the company is subject.
This information must be delivered within 30 days following to
the company's annual income tax statement.

these purposes.
