The virtual meeting was held with the Click&Vote service; a digital solution for shareholders meetings and assemblies of contributors developed by the Santiago Stock Exchange and DCV.

On Friday, March 12th, the Assembly of depositors No. 26 of the Depósito Central de Valores (DCV) was held. On this occasion, the Surveillance Committee presented a detailed report of its management for the year 2020. Additionally, Rodrigo Roblero, Finance, and IT Planning Manager, provided details on the progress of the DCV Evolution transformation project. In turn, Fernando Yáñez, General Manager, took the opportunity to thank the work of said Committee and to say goodbye to its members, since he will leave office on March 31st.

Given the health contingency and capacity restrictions, the virtual meeting was held with the Click&Vote service; a digital solution for shareholders meetings and assemblies of contributors developed by the Santiago Stock Exchange and DCV, using blockchain technology.

The president of the committee, Hugo de la Carrera, said that they began their activities for the year with an agreement to hold periodic meetings through videoconferences due to the quarantine situation imposed on the Metropolitan Area of Santiago. Regarding the principal tasks contemplated in the annual planning of this entity, he highlighted the hiring of Deloitte to carry out an evaluation of the internal control systems of DCV and to carry out the authentication of titles and quarterly audits of current documents.

Additionally, de la Carrera stated that the Surveillance Committee participated (in the period) in 2 informative meetings on the progress of the DCV Evolution project. Accordingly, said meetings are being carried out by Management. On the other hand, there is on-going monitoring of the volume of daily transactions in DCV in order to know and be constantly informed of any important changes (which could cause alterations in the normal functioning of the flow of operations). Likewise, he received and analyzed the reports of the critical operational incidents that occurred during the year in the company. This, in order to be informed and provide the recommendations that were deemed appropriate and thus provide better solution to those problems.

In this sense, he explained that even though there are pending situations where their solution has not been reached yet, the risk of errors or irregularities that could mean a significant impact for depositors is today under control. This ensures that DCV maintains a current business continuity plan that efficiently defines logistics to recover and restore critical functions that are unwantedly interrupted by an incident.

Fernando Yáñez, General Manager of DCV, gave an account of what the pandemic has meant in labor terms for the team and how -from day one- quality indicators have been monitored in order to maintain pre-pandemic standards. He also took the opportunity to highlight the professional and committed work of the committee. At the same time, he announced his departure as General Manager of DCV on March 31st.

“I say farewell. It has been 28 years of success, which is thanks to the work of all: our depositors, the authorities, the external auditors and our Surveillance Committee and, without a doubt, our collaborators. I say goodbye with mixed feelings, and I wish you the best of success. Rodrigo Roblero, our current Finance and IT Planning Manager, will take my position, who, like me, has been at DCV for 28 years.”

Finally, Rodrigo Roblero, Finance, and IT Planning Manager, explained to the assembly the scope of the DCV Evolution project and gave an account of the schedule for its application, which includes a market launch in November 2021. He highlighted the training activities for the depositors with workshops, webinars, new bulletins, and documents, as well as cybersecurity testing.
