their work with the Organization, to information on the financial results or
the financial situation or other plans of the Organization, which are not yet
in the public domain. Such person is obliged not to use this privileged
position for his/her own direct or indirect benefit, or that of third parties.

Prohibition on Trading in Securities based on Privileged Information


(Inside Information)

 No Covered Person shall purchase or sell any of the Organization's


Securities or advise or assist any third party in the trading of the
Organization's Securities, if he/she has access to Privileged Information.
 Likewise, if an employee obtains Privileged Information about another
public entity in connection with the performance of his/her duties in the
Organization, he/she is prohibited by this Policy from trading in the
securities of such entity.
 Information that has been disclosed to the public through appropriate
channels but has not yet been absorbed by investors and the financial
community shall continue to be considered Privileged Information and
an illegitimate basis for trading securities.

Confidentiality of Privileged Information

 All Covered Persons shall exercise the utmost care to preserve the
confidentiality of such information. Any person with access to
Privileged Information who "leaks" it to another person will be equally
liable as the person who receives the privileged information and
misuses it.
 In order to reduce the possibility that Privileged Information may be
inadvertently disclosed:
 Covered Persons shall refrain from discussing information
related to the Organization in public places where someone
could overhear these conversations.
 Covered Persons shall treat Material Information and/or
Privileged Information as confidential and should not discuss it
with anyone else who does not have a "need to know" the
information for legitimate business purposes.
 Employees who become aware of any leakage of Privileged
Information, inadvertently or otherwise, must immediately
report such breach to the IFS CCO.

In order to prevent the disclosure of Privileged Information about a client,


borrower, investment, acquisition target or vendor beyond the people
working on a particularly sensitive subject, the Compliance Officer of the
subsidiary where these people work may build what is known as an "ethical
barrier" around an operation or subject.

An ethical barrier is a mechanism designed to stop the flow of information


from one department or person to another in order to maintain
confidentiality or avoid conflicts of interest. Depending on the specific
situation, creating an ethical barrier may include procedures such as
identifying selected staff members who will have access to the subject,
establishing a separate physical environment for the project with restricted

16

access, using separate servers for computer files and/or regularly deleting
all electronic information related to the subject, as necessary. Ethical barrier
procedures established for a particular topic should be communicated in
writing to affected individuals. Employees considering the need to establish
an ethical barrier in a given situation should consult with the Compliance
Officer of the subsidiary where they work.

The request for the formation of an ethical barrier shall be reported to the
IFS CCO by the Compliance Officer of the subsidiary receiving the request.

(2) business days of the approval date, a new request for approval must be
submitted. The Compliance Officer of each subsidiary shall channel the
respective pre-approval requests to the IFS CCO. All approvals will be
granted by the IFS CCO.

Black-Out Periods

applicable regulations, the Organization will release to the market its
financial performance results. The Organization has established what it calls
a "black-out period" for Covered Persons who may have access to this
information in the performance of their duties. Even if the Organization is
not in a black-out period, no Covered Person may purchase or sell any of the
Organization’s Securities if he/she is in possession of Privileged Information.

Black-out periods will apply from the beginning of the first day following the
last month of each fiscal quarter (i.e., beginning on January 1, April 1, July 1,
and October 1 of each year) up to and including two full trading days
following the public release of the quarterly or annual financial results of IFS
or its subsidiaries, as applicable.

In addition to these regularly scheduled black-out periods, the Organization


may impose restrictions on all or a relevant group of persons with access to

17
INTERNAL USE ONLY INFORMATION: No part of this document may be
reproduced in any form or by any means without permission.

Privileged Information or additional black-out periods during which


Privileged Information exists.

purchase, sell or enter into any other transactions regarding the
Organization's Securities during any black-out period.

Black-out periods do not apply to:

mutual fund, hedge account or similar agreement, provided that there
is no opportunity to discuss or give instructions regarding the
investment of funds managed in such investment vehicles.
 Other cases that are included in this Policy.

Any IFS and subsidiary persons with access to Privileged Information who
have questions about the black-out periods should contact the Compliance
Officer of the subsidiary where they work or provide services or the IFS CCO.

Additional Restrictions on Trading by Persons at the Company with Access


to Privileged Information

IFS and subsidiary persons with access to Privileged Information are also
prohibited from engaging in the following transactions with the
Organization's Securities:

Restrictions on Trading by Persons with Possible Access to Privileged


Information

No persons with potential access to Privileged Information may purchase or


sell the Organization's Securities if they have any Privileged Information.

All employees, regardless of their position within the Organization, by the


mere fact of having knowledge of Privileged Information shall be subject to
this Policy and to strict legal standards regulating the misuse of such
information. Any person who is in doubt as to whether or not he or she has
become aware of Privileged Information about the Organization must
contact the Compliance Officer of the company where he/she works or
provides services or the IFS CCO.

ventures and limited partnerships.
In order to reduce the risks of corruption and bribery in these
transactions, IFS and its subsidiaries will perform a due diligence

before the transaction is concluded.
This procedure will be determined on a case-by-case basis and
according to the nature of the transaction, always with the advice of
technical and legal counsel.

received, free of charge and voluntarily, for the purpose of promoting

Corruption Policy and be aware of the rules applicable to this topic to
avoid any breach of anti-corruption laws or our policies.

G. Donations and Sponsorships

 Privileged Information

“Privileged Information" shall mean Material Information relating, directly or indirectly,


to the Organization that has not been disseminated in a manner that makes it available
to investors in general. Information remains "private" until it has been disclosed to the
public through appropriate channels and investors have had sufficient time to absorb
and evaluate the information – usually two (2) business days, unless the legislation
applicable to the company that is part of the Organization specifies a different time
period.

All material information relating to the Organization shall be disclosed only through
regular disclosure channels so that all persons interested in the Organization and its
values have, to the extent possible, fair and timely access to such information. A person
who has knowledge of Material Information may not attempt to "beat the market" by
trading securities simultaneously with, or shortly after, the official disclosure of such
information.

Information may generally be deemed to have been absorbed and evaluated by the
public markets two (2) days after the information has been publicly disclosed. If an
announcement is made after the close of business, for example, on a Friday, trading will
not be permitted until the following Wednesday, at the earliest.

All Material Information of the Organization will be announced through established


procedures to ensure proper distribution to financial news agencies and the press, as
well as to specialized publications, and other stakeholders.

Until this procedure has been followed, information will be deemed "not released to
the public". The fact that the information may appear in a specialized publication or in
an announcement made by a client, supplier, manufacturing or joint venture partner,
competitor or government agency is not sufficient. Insider trading is not made lawful by
the fact that material information is conveyed through rumors or other unofficial
statements in the press or in the marketplace. When employees become aware of
rumors or other unofficial statements about the Organization, the IFS CCO should be
notified immediately so that a determination can be made as to whether to take steps
for appropriate and broad public disclosure of any information that is material.

In addition to information related to the Organization that has not been publicly
disclosed, it must be assumed that proprietary information includes confidential
analyses, financial information, business data and plans, as well as information received
from a client or third party with the expectation that it will be held in confidence and
used only for business purposes.

It should also be noted that under Peruvian regulations, information intended for
release to the general public is not considered to have been publicly disclosed when it
has only been disclosed by the Organization at a general shareholders' meeting, board
of directors meeting or similar meeting or if it has been disclosed by the Organization
to a committee, group of investors, analysts, or other participants.
