Dear Participants

Depósito Central de Valores S.A. (DCV) wishes to inform its Participants that, pursuant to the provisions set forth in Section No. 5 of the Internal Regulations of DCV, there shall be new measures to access and use its computer system, and several improvements to the electronic signature system currently used for various applications and functions which so require.

Presently, DCV and its Participants use CAPICOM, a software that was developed by Microsoft to make cryptography based operations easier, specifically for the use of electronic certificates requiring a digital signature (it should be noted that some of DCV’s applications require a digital signature, such as critical operations, queries and printing of confidential information).

At present, CAPICOM developers do not offer technical support; for this reason, and in order to comply with the online safety obligations set forth in Law No. 19,799 related to electronic/digital signatures, DCV developed a client application entitled “DCV AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE”, which will be installed in every device used by the operators to sign operations with DCV.

Though this solution will replace the current CAPICOM client signature, it will provide the same authentication non-rejection and transaction enabling features, by using digital certificates to process the operations. A certificate that ensures compliance with the features mentioned previously must be an advanced electronic signature issued by one of the certification entities authorized by the Ministry of Economy of Chile.
