BAP · Credicorp Ltd.

Credicorp Ltd., through its subsidiary Banco de Crédito del Perú (BCP), has taken a significant step in its strategic expansion by receiving authorization from the Peruvian Superintendence of Banking, Insurance and Private Pension Fund Administrators (SBS) to acquire 100% of Helm Bank USA. The acquisition will be executed via two newly incorporated subsidiaries, Orange Perú Holding S.A. and Orange Financial Holding Inc., which are specifically created for this purpose. This move signals Credicorp's intent to strengthen its presence in the U.S. banking market, leveraging Helm Bank's existing operations. However, the transaction remains contingent on securing approvals from U.S. regulators, including the Florida Office of Financial Regulation and the Federal Reserve System, as well as meeting standard closing conditions. The disclosure follows a prior Form 6-K filed on December 29, 2025, indicating ongoing strategic developments. Investors should monitor regulatory developments in the U.S. as key milestones for deal completion.
