Material Changes
The primary material change is the postponement of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The meeting was originally set for March 27, 2020, but was cancelled due to the declaration of a national emergency by the Peruvian government (Supreme Decree No. 044-2020-PCM) to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This decree mandated social isolation and restricted free transit, making it materially impossible to hold the session as planned.
