Ladies and Gentlemen:

The Eligible USD Bonds and the Eligible EUR Bonds are collectively referred to herein as the “Eligible Bonds.” Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Invitation Materials (as defined in Section 4 hereof).

 


2. Appointment as Joint Dealer Managers.

(a) Peru hereby engages and appoints each of BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Santander US Capital Markets LLC as exclusive Joint Dealer Managers (each, a “Joint Dealer Manager,” and collectively, the “Joint Dealer Managers” or “you”), and authorizes each of you to act as such on its behalf, in accordance with this Agreement and the Invitations including pursuant to your obligations as Joint Dealer Managers as set forth in this Agreement. You agree to (i) use your reasonable best efforts to solicit exchange offers and tender offers pursuant to the Invitations, (ii) communicate with brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other persons, including the holders of the Eligible Bonds, with respect to the Invitations, and (iii) perform the duties ascribed to you in the Invitation Materials, all in accordance with your customary practices for these types of transactions.

(b) With respect to the Tender Offer, on the Settlement Date (as defined in Section 9 hereof), Peru agrees to pay promptly, in accordance with the terms of the Invitations, the applicable purchase price for the Eligible Bonds to the holders entitled thereto. Peru agrees not to purchase any Eligible Bonds during the term of this Agreement except pursuant to and in accordance with the Tender Offer or as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties hereto and permitted under applicable laws and regulations.

3. No Liability for Acts of Dealers, Commercial Banks and Trust Companies.

(a) None of the Joint Dealer Managers nor any of their affiliates, nor any partners, officers, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons (if any) of the Joint Dealer Managers or any of their affiliates shall have any liability (in tort, contract or otherwise) to Peru or any other person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Peru for any act or omission on the part of any broker or dealer in securities (each, a “Dealer”) (other than the Joint Dealer Managers) or any commercial bank or trust company that solicits exchange offers and tender offers. Further, no Joint Dealer Manager nor any of its affiliates, nor any partners, officers, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons (if any) of the Joint Dealer Managers or any of their affiliates shall have any liability (in tort, contract or otherwise) to Peru or any other person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Peru for any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities arising in connection with or as a result of either the Joint Dealer Managers’ engagement or any matter referred to in this Agreement except for any such losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities incurred by Peru or any other person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Peru that are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Joint Dealer Manager’s own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing the services that are the subject of this Agreement. In soliciting or obtaining exchange offers and tender offers, you, as Joint Dealer Managers, shall act as independent contractors, and no Dealer, commercial bank or trust company is to be deemed to be acting as your agent or the agent of Peru, and you, as Joint Dealer Managers, are not to be deemed the agent of each other, Peru, any Dealer, commercial bank or trust company or any other person. It is understood that nothing in this Agreement nor the nature of the Joint Dealer Managers’ services shall be deemed to create a fiduciary duty or agency relationship between the Joint Dealer Managers and

 

2


Peru. Peru shall have sole and absolute authority for the acceptance or rejection of any and all exchange offers and tender offers. Peru further understands and agrees that each of the Joint Dealer Managers shall provide its services hereunder independently from the other Joint Dealer Managers and that no Joint Dealer Manager shall have any liability to Peru for any actions or omissions of the other Joint Dealer Managers.

(b) Peru hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Joint Dealer Manager (and its respective affiliates) is acting pursuant to this Agreement solely in its capacity as an arm’s length contractual counterparty to Peru in connection with the Invitations and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, Peru or any other person. Additionally, no Joint Dealer Manager (nor any of their respective affiliates) is advising Peru or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, insurance or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. Peru shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Joint Dealer Managers (and their respective affiliates) shall have no responsibility or liability to Peru with respect thereto. Any review by the Joint Dealer Managers (and their respective affiliates) of Peru, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be performed solely for the benefit of the Joint Dealer Managers (and their respective affiliates) and shall not be on behalf of Peru.

(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that Joint Dealer Managers may perform certain of their services contemplated hereby through their respective affiliates, and any of such affiliates performing services hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits and be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In each case, each of the Joint Dealer Managers shall be responsible for the payment of any fees and commission to their respective affiliates.

4. The Invitation Materials.

(a) In connection with the Invitations and in accordance with Section 4(b) hereto:

(i) Peru authorizes the Joint Dealer Managers to reproduce and distribute, as they may deem necessary or advisable, the Prospectus Supplement, the Base Prospectus (each as defined below), any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) used in connection with the Invitations (an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), the Ministerial Resolution No. 311-2025-EF/52 authorizing the issuance of the New Bonds and the Exchange Offer and the Tender Offer, newspaper advertisements, and announcements to potential participants and press releases pursuant to Rule 134 under the Securities Act relating to the Invitations, and any forms, if necessary, of letters to brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees relating to the Exchange Offer and Tender Offer under the rules of The Depository Trust Company, Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. or Clearstream Banking S.A. (the “Clearing Systems”) (collectively, including any amendments, supplements or documents incorporated by reference thereto provided by or on behalf of Peru in accordance with this Agreement, the “Invitation Materials”), for use by the Joint Dealer Managers in connection with the Invitations.

 

3


(ii) Peru further agrees to cause to be furnished to the Joint Dealer Managers (in New York City) with as many copies as the Joint Dealer Managers may reasonably request of the Invitation Materials. Peru shall cause to be delivered to each registered holder of any Eligible Bond, as soon as practicable, upon its request therefor, written or electronic copies of the appropriate Invitation Materials. Thereafter, to the extent practicable until the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 9 hereof), Peru shall use its best efforts to cause written or electronic copies of such Invitation Materials to be delivered to each person who becomes a holder of record of any Eligible Bond upon its request therefor.

(b) Peru shall not file, use, publish, amend or supplement any of the Invitation Materials, or prepare or approve any other offering material for use in connection with the Invitations, without the Joint Dealer Managers’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Except for any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in Annexes III, IV or V hereto and any free writing prospectus (as defined by Rule 405 under the Securities Act, a “Free Writing Prospectus”) containing customary information describing the preliminary and/or final terms of the Invitations or the New Bonds and prepared by the Joint Dealer Managers for use by the Joint Dealer Managers on Bloomberg screens or similar communications and which is not (i) an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or (ii) a Free Writing Prospectus containing “Issuer information” (as defined by Rule 433(h)(2) under the Securities Act), no Joint Dealer Manager shall prepare, distribute, make available or approve any other press releases or other offering material (other than material prepared solely for the internal use of such Joint Dealer Manager) or external offering materials for use in connection with the Invitations without Peru’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Peru agrees that a reasonable time prior to using or filing with any governmental agency, authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (each an “Agency”), any Invitation Materials (whether preliminary or otherwise), Peru will submit copies of such material to the Joint Dealer Managers for their approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Joint Dealer Managers agree that they shall not disseminate any external documents for use in connection with the Invitations without Peru’s prior review and written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) Peru will advise the Joint Dealer Managers promptly of (i) the occurrence of any event which could cause Peru to withdraw, rescind, terminate, or modify the Invitations or would permit Peru to exercise any right not to exchange or pay for the Eligible Bonds tendered pursuant to the Invitations or not to issue the New Bonds, (ii) any requirement to amend or supplement any of the Invitation Materials, (iii) the issuance of any communication, comment or order relevant to the Invitations by any Agency (and, if in writing, will furnish the Joint Dealer Managers a copy thereof), (iv) its receipt of notice of any litigation or administrative or governmental action with respect to the Invitations, (v) any event or discovery of any fact, the occurrence or existence of which would cause any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or

 

4


inaccurate in any material respect, and (vi) any other information relating to the Invitations which the Joint Dealer Managers may from time to time reasonably request in the performance of the Joint Dealer Managers’ duties hereunder. At any time before Peru announces, on the Announcement Date (as defined in the Invitation Materials), the acceptance of any exchange offers or tender offers, Peru may, in its sole and absolute discretion: (x) terminate any of the Invitations; or (y) extend the Expiration Date. If Peru announces its acceptance of any or all of the exchange offers or tender offers, it will be obligated to settle such exchange offers and tender offers as applicable, subject only to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in the Prospectus (as defined below). In addition, Peru may, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, amend the Invitations in any respect, subject to the consent of the Joint Dealer Managers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Joint Dealer Managers will promptly inform Peru of any litigation or administrative or governmental action with respect to the Invitations of which they become aware, provided that such communications are permitted under applicable laws and regulations.

(d) With respect to the Invitations, Peru agrees (i) to prepare one or more prospectus supplements in a form approved by the Joint Dealer Managers, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and to timely file each such prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act not later than the close of business of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on the second Business Day (as defined herein) following the date such prospectus supplement is first used, or, if applicable, such earlier time as may be required by Rule 430A(a)(3) under the Securities Act, relating to the terms of the Invitations; (ii) to advise the Joint Dealer Managers, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus (as defined herein), any prospectus supplement or Free Writing Prospectus, of the suspension of the qualification of the New Bonds for invitation or sale in any jurisdiction in the United States or any jurisdiction described in the Prospectus under the caption “Jurisdictional Restrictions,” of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement (as defined in Section 9), the Prospectus, any prospectus supplement or Free Writing Prospectus relating to the issuance of the New Bonds or for additional information; and, in the event of the issuance of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus, any prospectus supplement or Free Writing Prospectus or suspending any such qualification, to promptly use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order and (iii) promptly from time to time during and following the Expiration Date, to take such action as you may reasonably request to qualify the Invitations and the New Bonds for offering and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Joint Dealer Managers may reasonably request and to comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of the Invitations and sales and dealings in the New Bonds in such jurisdictions for as long as may be necessary to complete the Invitations and the distribution of the New Bonds, provided that in connection therewith Peru shall not be required to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction. With respect to any jurisdiction identified in the Prospectus under the caption “Jurisdictional Restrictions,” each of Peru and the Joint Dealer Managers shall take actions reasonably available to it or the Joint Dealer Managers, respectively, to permit the continuance of the Invitations and the distribution of the New Bonds.

(e) Peru agrees, if the delivery of a prospectus is required under the Securities Act (including any of the rules promulgated by the Commission thereunder) or by any applicable law at any time prior to the expiration of nine months after the time of issue of the Invitation Materials in connection with the Exchange Offer and Tender Offer and if at such time any event shall have occurred as a result of which the Invitation Materials as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made when such Invitation Material is delivered, not misleading, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such same period to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act or any applicable law, to notify the Joint Dealer Managers and upon the Joint Dealer Managers’ request to prepare and furnish without charge to the Joint Dealer Managers and to any Dealer as many copies as the Joint Dealer Managers may from time to time reasonably request of amended Invitation Materials or a supplement to the Invitation Materials which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and in case the Joint Dealer Managers are required to deliver a prospectus in connection with sales of any of the New Bonds at any time nine months or more after the time of issue of the Invitation Materials, upon the request of the Joint Dealer Managers, to prepare and deliver to the Joint Dealer Managers as many copies as they may request of amended or supplemented Invitation Materials, as the case may be, complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act.

Such fees shall be payable in U.S. dollars on the Settlement Date (as defined in Section 9 hereof) in immediately available funds, to an account or accounts in New York City designated by the Joint Dealer Managers and free and clear of any and all withholding or other similar taxes imposed by Peru and without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld, assessed by or within Peru or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax; if any such taxes are payable, the fees payable hereunder shall be increased so that the amount paid shall be equal to the amount that would have been payable had such taxes not been applicable.

Peru and the Joint Dealer Managers agree to pay for costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby as set forth in Schedule I hereto; provided, however, that this Section 7 shall in no way affect Peru’s and the Joint Dealer Managers’ obligations set forth in Section 12 of this Agreement. All payments to be made pursuant to this Section 7 for the reimbursement of expenses shall be payable promptly, without withholding tax or any deduction, no later than 30 days after an itemized invoice specifying the expenses to be reimbursed has been received by the party making such reimbursement.

The Joint Dealer Managers agree to use such information only in connection with the Invitations and not to furnish such information to any other person except in connection with the Invitations.

9. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Peru. Peru represents and warrants and covenants to each of the Joint Dealer Managers that:

(a) As of the date the Invitations are commenced (the “Commencement Date”), as of the time and date the Invitations expire (the “Expiration Date”) and as of the date the Exchange Offer and the Tender Offer are settled (the “Settlement Date”), Peru meets the requirements for use of Schedule B under the Securities Act, and has filed with the Commission a registration statement on Schedule B (File No. 333-262067) relating to debt securities, warrants and units, including the New Bonds (together, the “Debt Securities”). Such registration statement, as amended through the date hereof, has been declared effective by the Commission. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement has been issued, and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the Commission. The base prospectus relating to the Debt Securities contained in such registration statement, as amended through the date hereof, is hereinafter called the “Base Prospectus.” The prospectus supplement dated June 25, 2025 relating to the Invitations filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the

Securities Act is hereinafter called the “Prospectus Supplement.” Such registration statement (including the Base Prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference in such registration statement, each as amended or supplemented through the date hereof) is hereinafter called the “Registration Statement.” The Base Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, is herein called the “Prospectus”; any reference to either the Prospectus Supplement or the Base Prospectus as amended or supplemented shall be deemed to refer, as appropriate, to either the Prospectus Supplement or the Base Prospectus as amended or supplemented in relation to the Invitations in the form in which it is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act. Any reference herein to the Prospectus Supplement, the Base Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information (as defined below) shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents incorporated by reference therein as of the respective dates of the Prospectus Supplement and the Base Prospectus.

(b) As of the Commencement Date, the Expiration Date and the Settlement Date, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto complied and will comply, in all material respects, with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Registration Statement did not, as of the time of its effectiveness and will not, as of the Expiration Date and the Settlement Date, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The Prospectus, as amended or supplemented with respect to the Invitations as of the applicable filing date thereof, as of the Commencement Date, the Expiration Date and the Settlement Date, did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that Peru makes no representations or warranties with respect to any statements or omissions contained in the Invitations made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Peru by the Joint Dealer Managers expressly for use in the Prospectus with respect to the Invitations, pursuant to Section 12 hereof.

(c) For purposes hereof, the “Time of Sale” is the time at which Peru announces its acceptance of any or all of the exchange offers and tender offers submitted pursuant to the Invitations (which unless extended or earlier terminated by Peru shall be 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on July 2, 2025), subject only to the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in the Prospectus. The Prospectus, together with each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Annex III hereto and any additional Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses used prior to the Time of Sale pursuant to Section 10 hereof that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree in writing to treat as part of the Time of Sale Information, as of the Time of Sale (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”), will when taken as a whole, not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Prospectus based upon and in conformity with the information furnished in writing to Peru by you expressly for use therein.

The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Prospectus based upon and in conformity with the information furnished in writing to Peru by the Joint Dealer Managers expressly for use therein, pursuant to Section 12 hereof. Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Annexes III, IV and V hereto did not and will not conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

(e) The Time of Sale Information complies and (as amended or supplemented, if amended or supplemented) will comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the U.S. federal securities laws and the laws of those jurisdictions in which the Joint Dealer Managers are authorized to make exchange offers and tender offers pursuant to this Agreement. The Time of Sale Information, including the information incorporated by reference therein, does not contain nor will it contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that Peru makes no representations or warranties with respect to any statements or omissions contained in the Time of Sale Information made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Peru by the Joint Dealer Managers expressly for use in the Time of Sale Information as amended or supplemented with respect to the Invitations, pursuant to Section 12 hereof.

(f) Since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the Time of Sale Information, there has not been any material adverse change, or any event that would reasonably be expected to result in a prospective material adverse change, in the financial, economic or fiscal condition of Peru, otherwise than as set forth in or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Time of Sale Information.

The New Bonds, which will be substantially in the form thereof in the Indenture, upon due authentication by the Trustee, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of Peru entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture. The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered and constitutes a valid and legally binding instrument, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

(k) There is no constitutional provision, or any provision of any treaty, convention, statute, law, regulation, decree, court order or similar authority binding upon Peru, or any provision of any contract, agreement or instrument to which Peru or any Governmental Agency (as defined below) is a party, which would be materially contravened or breached, or which would result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance, or under which a default would arise or a moratorium in respect of any obligations of Peru or any Governmental Agency be effected, as a result of the execution and delivery by Peru of this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Indenture or the

 

10


New Bonds, or the issuance and delivery of the New Bonds as contemplated in this Agreement, or as a result of the performance or observance by Peru of any of the terms of this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Indenture or the New Bonds. “Governmental Agency” means each agency, department, ministry, authority, municipality, statutory corporation or statutory body or judicial entity of Peru or any political subdivision thereof or therein, now existing or hereafter created, and any bank, corporation or other legal entity owning 51% or more of the capital or voting stock or other ownership interest of which is now or hereafter owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by Peru or by any state or municipality of Peru.

(l) The New Bonds, when duly authenticated by the Trustee, will be direct, general, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of Peru and will be backed by the full faith and credit of Peru for the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the New Bonds and the performance of the covenants therein contained. The New Bonds will at all times rank equal in right of payment, without any preference among themselves, with all of Peru’s other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

(m) There is no pending or, to the knowledge of Peru, threatened action or proceeding affecting Peru or any Governmental Agency before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator which may, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect the financial condition of Peru or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Indenture or the New Bonds, which purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Invitation Materials, the Indenture or the New Bonds, except as otherwise disclosed in the Invitation Materials.

Neither Peru nor any person acting on its behalf has issued, or will issue, without the prior consent of the Joint Dealer Managers, any stabilization announcement referring to the proposed issue of New Bonds, provided that no representation or warranty is given by Peru with respect to any of the actions of the Joint Dealer Managers.

Notwithstanding the above, the execution by Peruvian courts of any judgment ordering payment of any principal or interest arising from the New Bonds by Peru will be subject to availability of funds according to the statute passed by the Peruvian Congress setting forth the budget corresponding to the fiscal year in which such payment is to be due (the “Budget Law”).

(u) Peru is not aware that any of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“Standard & Poor’s”), Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”) or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) has made any announcement that it will have under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of Peru’s debt securities; and Peru has not been informed by any of Standard & Poor’s, Fitch or Moody’s that it intends or is contemplating any downgrading in any rating accorded to Peru’s debt securities or any announcement that it will have under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any of Peru’s debt securities.

(x) Peru agrees that it will not announce the acceptance of any exchange offers or tender offers on or prior to the Announcement Date unless each of the conditions set forth in Section 11 hereof to be satisfied on or prior to such date has been satisfied or waived by the Joint Dealer Managers.

(y) Peru will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable but in no event later than 24 months after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the Securities Act), a statement in the English language of the revenues and expenditures of Peru covering the first full fiscal year of Peru commencing after the date hereof which will satisfy Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(z) Peru agrees (i) to deliver the New Bonds and pay promptly, as appropriate and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Invitation Materials, the cash due in respect of rounding for the Eligible USD Bonds accepted by it pursuant to the Exchange Offer and (ii) to pay promptly, as appropriate and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Invitation Materials, the purchase price for the Eligible Bonds accepted by it pursuant to the Tender Offer.

(aa) From the date hereof through the period ending 15 days after the Settlement Date, Peru will ensure that no other dollar-denominated debt securities of Peru (other than debt securities with a maturity of one year or less) are placed or sold in the international capital markets, directly or indirectly on its behalf, in any manner which might, in the reasonable opinion of the Joint Dealer Managers, have a detrimental effect on the successful offering and distribution of the New Bonds, unless the Joint Dealer Managers otherwise agree in writing.

(bb) From the date hereof through the period ending 15 days after the Settlement Date, Peru will not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any Eligible Bonds acquired by it pursuant to the Exchange Offer or Tender Offer, other than by delivering Eligible Bonds to the Trustee for cancellation, without the prior written consent of the Joint Dealer Managers.

(dd) Peru is a member of, and is eligible to use the general resources of, the International Monetary Fund (the “IMF”), the Inter-American Development Bank (the “IDB”) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “World Bank”). The IMF, the IDB and the World Bank have not limited, pursuant to their Articles of Agreement or Rules and Regulations, the use by Peru of the general resources of the IMF, the IDB or the World Bank.

(ee) Neither Peru, nor, to the knowledge of Peru, any agent of Peru is currently the target of any sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, His Majesty’s Treasury or other relevant sanctions authority.

(ff) The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture, the issuance and delivery of the New Bonds, the performance of the terms of the New Bonds and the transactions under the Invitation Materials constitute private and commercial acts rather than public or governmental acts, as such terms are defined under the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (and as interpreted by applicable case law).

(gg) The Indenture conforms, and the New Bonds will conform, in all material respects, to the descriptions thereof contained in the Prospectus; and the statements made under the captions “Description of the New Bonds” in the Prospectus Supplement and “Description of the Securities” in the Base Prospectus constitute, insofar as they purport to summarize the terms of the New Bonds, accurate, complete and fair summaries in all material respects of such terms.

10. Free Writing Prospectuses.

(a) Peru represents and agrees that it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Invitations that would constitute a “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act without the Joint Dealer Managers’ prior oral or written consent and that Annexes III, IV and V hereto are a complete list of any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses for which Peru has received such consent;

 

15


(b) Peru has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 under the Securities Act applicable to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission or retention where required and legending; and

(c) Peru agrees that if at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event occurred or occurs as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, Peru will give the Joint Dealer Managers prompt notice thereof, and if the Joint Dealer Managers so request, will prepare and furnish without charge to each of the Joint Dealer Managers an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document which will correct such conflict, statement or omission; provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions in an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to Peru by you expressly for use therein.

Each of the Joint Dealer Managers shall be entitled to withdraw as a Joint Dealer Manager in connection with the Invitations, at any time, if any of the conditions set forth in this Section 11 is not met, and obligations of the Joint Dealer Managers hereunder shall at all times be subject, in their discretion, to the conditions that:

(a) All representations and warranties and other statements of Peru contained herein are now, and on the Settlement Date and at all times during the Invitations and until settlement of the issuance of the New Bonds pursuant to the Invitations on the Settlement Date, will be, true and correct in all material respects.

(b) Peru at all times during the Invitations shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder theretofore required to have been performed.

(c) The Prospectus, as amended or supplemented with respect to the Invitations, shall have been filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by the rules and regulations under the Securities Act and in accordance with Section 4(d) hereof. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof or the use of the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus shall have been issued and no proceeding for the purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the Commission. All requests for additional information on the part of the Commission shall have been complied with to the Joint Dealer Managers’ reasonable satisfaction.

12. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Peru agrees (i) to indemnify and hold each of the Joint Dealer Managers and their respective affiliates harmless against any loss, damage, reasonable and documented expense, liability or claim (or action in respect thereof) (A) which arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any other Invitation Materials or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or any of the documents referred to therein or in any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or which arises out of or is based on the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Peru shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, reasonable and documented expense, or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any other Invitation Materials or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Peru by the applicable Joint Dealer Manager expressly for use therein; it being understood and agreed that the only such information shall be the respective names and addresses of the Joint Dealer Managers, which have been provided by and are the sole responsibility of the respective Joint Dealer Manager; or (B) which arises out of or is based upon any breach by Peru of any representation, warranty, covenant or failure to comply with any agreement set forth herein; or (C) which arises out of or is based upon a withdrawal, rescission, termination or modification of or a failure by Peru to make or consummate the Invitations; and (ii) to indemnify and hold each of the Joint Dealer Managers and the Joint Dealer Managers’ affiliates, agents, directors, officers and employees or controlling persons harmless against any other loss, damage, reasonable and documented expense, liability or claim (or action in respect thereof) which otherwise arises out of or is based upon or asserted against the Joint Dealer Managers or the Joint Dealer Managers’ affiliates in connection with each of the Joint Dealer Managers’ acting as a Joint Dealer Manager in connection with the Invitations, or that arise in connection with any other matter referred to in this Agreement, except to the extent that any such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim referred to in this clause (ii) results from the applicable Joint Dealer Manager’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in performing the services that are the subject of this Agreement, as finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Peru also agrees to indemnify and hold each of the Joint Dealer Managers and their respective affiliates harmless against and to promptly reimburse each of the Joint Dealer Managers for any and all reasonable and documented expenses whatsoever (including legal and other fees and reasonable and documented expenses) reasonably incurred by each of the Joint Dealer Managers and their respective affiliates in connection with investigating, preparing for or defending against any such losses, damages, reasonable and documented expenses, liabilities or claims (or actions in respect thereof) within a reasonable time after such expenses are incurred and an itemized statement thereof, in reasonable detail, has been submitted to Peru whether or not resulting in any liability, and any amount paid in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever as set forth herein if such settlement is effected with the written consent of Peru. Peru also agrees that, except as provided in Section 12(b) hereof, none of the Joint Dealer Managers nor any of their respective affiliates, nor any partners, directors, officers, agents, employees or controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of the Joint Dealer Managers or any of their respective affiliates, shall have

 

20


any liability, in tort or contract or otherwise, to Peru or any person asserting a claim on behalf of or in the right of Peru, in each case for or in connection with any matter referred to in this Agreement, except to the extent that any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim incurred by Peru is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Joint Dealer Manager’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in performing the services that are the subject of this Agreement.

(b) Each of the Joint Dealer Managers severally and not jointly will indemnify and hold harmless Peru against any loss, claim, damage, reasonable and documented expense or liability to which Peru may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, reasonable and documented expense or liability (or action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any other Invitation Materials or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing, or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Invitation Materials or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Peru by the Joint Dealer Managers expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information shall be the respective names and addresses of the Joint Dealer Managers, which have been provided by and are the sole responsibility of the respective Joint Dealer Manager; and will reimburse Peru for any legal or other reasonable and documented expenses reasonably incurred by Peru in connection with investigating or defending any such action within a reasonable time after such expenses are incurred and an itemized statement thereof, in reasonable detail, has been submitted to the Joint Dealer Managers.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by

 

21


such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that an indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar actions arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all indemnified parties, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to its regular counsel, is required in order to defend effectively against such action. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) in the indemnified party’s reasonable judgment the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iii) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify each indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party . No indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the indemnifying party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 12 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic benefits received by the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the Invitations. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion

 

22


as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of Peru on the one hand and the Joint Dealer Managers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative economic benefits of Peru on the one hand and the Joint Dealer Managers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the aggregate principal amount of (i) the New Bonds issued by Peru pursuant to the Exchange Offer and (ii) the Eligible Bonds acquired by Peru pursuant to the Tender Offer bears to the maximum aggregate fee to be paid to the Joint Dealer Managers pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement as a result of the Invitations; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by Peru on the one hand or the Joint Dealer Managers on the other and Peru’s or the Joint Dealer Managers’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Peru and the Joint Dealer Managers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Joint Dealer Managers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Joint Dealer Manager shall be required to pay any amount in excess of the amount paid to such Joint Dealer Manager pursuant to Section 6 hereof. Any obligation in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to the applicable Joint Dealer Managers’ obligations hereunder and not joint.

(e) The obligations of Peru under this Section 12 shall be in addition to any liability which Peru may otherwise have, shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to the affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of each indemnifying party, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of Peru, the Joint Dealer Managers, any such affiliate and any such person.

13. Termination and Survival of Certain Provisions.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated (a) by the Joint Dealer Managers (i) upon a withdrawal by them as Joint Dealer Managers under the terms hereof or (ii) if Peru determines or acts to terminate, withdraw or suspend the Invitations prior to consummation thereof or (b) by Peru if it determines or acts to terminate or withdraw the Invitations prior to consummation thereof;

 

23

Peru also agrees that any judgment obtained in the Specified Courts arising out of any Related Proceeding may be enforced or executed in any other court of competent jurisdiction whatsoever (in the case of Peru, upon completion of an exequatur proceeding), and any judgment obtained in any such other court as a result of such enforcement or execution may be enforced or executed in any such other court of competent jurisdiction (all such courts other than Specified Courts being called herein “Other Courts”), by means of a suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law; provided, however, that, in respect of such enforcement or execution by Peruvian courts of any such judgment ordering any payment by Peru, such payment is included in the Budget Law corresponding to the fiscal year in which such payment is to be due (but Peru will use its best efforts to cause such payment to be included in such Budget Law). Peru hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Specified Courts for the purpose of any Related Proceeding and, solely for the purpose of enforcing or executing any judgment referred to in the preceding sentence (a “Related Judgment”), of the Specified Courts and each Other Court.

Peru agrees to maintain an agent with offices in New York to act as its Process Agent, so long as any of the New Bonds remain outstanding unless and until the appointment of a successor Process Agent and such successor’s acceptance of such appointment shall have occurred. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability to serve any such writs, process or summonses in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

 

25


(c) Peru irrevocably consents to and waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Related Proceeding brought in the Specified Courts or to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding brought solely for the purpose of enforcing or executing any Related Judgment in the Specified Courts or Other Courts, and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Related Proceeding or any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) To the extent that Peru or any of its revenues, assets or properties shall be entitled, with respect to any Related Proceeding at any time brought against Peru or any of its revenues, assets or properties, or with respect to any suit, action or proceeding at any time brought solely for the purpose of enforcing or executing any Related Judgment in the Specified Courts or in any jurisdiction in which any Other Court is located, to any immunity from suit, from the jurisdiction of any such court, from attachment prior to judgment, from attachment in aid of execution of judgment, from execution of a judgment or from any other legal or judicial process or remedy, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there shall be attributed such an immunity, Peru irrevocably agrees not to claim and irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction (including, without limitation, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States; provided, however, that Peru hereby reserves the right to plead sovereign immunity under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 with respect to actions brought against it under the United States securities laws or any state securities laws). In addition, to the extent that Peru or any of its revenues, assets or properties shall be entitled, in any jurisdiction, to any immunity from setoff, banker’s lien or any similar right or remedy, and to the extent that there shall be attributed, in any jurisdiction, such an immunity, Peru hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction with respect to any claim, suit, action, proceeding, right or remedy arising out of or in connection with the Agreement.

(e) The submission to jurisdiction and the waiver of immunity by Peru contained herein is for the exclusive benefit of the Joint Dealer Managers (and their affiliates) and shall not extend to any other persons.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the appointment of C T Corporation System or an authorized agent for service of process nor the waiver of immunity by Peru set forth above shall be interpreted to include suits, actions or proceedings brought under the U.S. federal securities laws or state securities laws, provided that such reservations are without prejudice to the rights of the Joint Dealer Managers to indemnification and contribution set forth herein.

(g) Each Joint Dealer Manager, on the one hand, and Peru, on the other hand, waive any right to trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding or claim with respect to its engagement as Joint Dealer Manager or its role in connection herewith.

 

26


16. Judgment Currency. In respect of any judgment or order given or made for any amount due hereunder that is expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than U.S. dollars, Peru will indemnify each Joint Dealer Manager against any loss incurred by such Joint Dealer Manager as a result of any variation as between (A) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (B) the rate of exchange at which a Joint Dealer Manager is able to purchase U.S. dollars with the amount of Judgment Currency actually received by such Joint Dealer Manager on the Business Day following the receipt of payment on such judgment or order. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of Peru and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, U.S. dollars.

17. Severability; Time of Essence.

(a) If any provision hereof shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such determination shall not affect any other provision hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Invitations and the agreements contained herein are not affected in any manner adverse to any party.

(b) Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “Business Day” shall mean any day when banking institutions in New York, Lima and London are open for business.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts of this Agreement or any such document may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

19. Binding Effect. This Agreement, including any right to indemnity or contribution hereunder, shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Peru, the Joint Dealer Managers and the other indemnified parties, and each of their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to give to any other person or entity any right hereunder or by virtue hereof.

20. Governing Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute relating to or arising out of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York except that authorization and execution of this Agreement by Peru will be governed by the laws of Peru.

21. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be modified or amended except in writing executed by the parties hereto.

DISCLAIMER

The Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Prospectus is not for release, publication or distribution to any person located or resident in any jurisdiction where it is unlawful to distribute the Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Prospectus. Persons into whose possession the Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Prospectus comes are required by Peru, the joint dealer managers and the Information and Exchange Agent to inform themselves about, and to observe, any such restrictions.

This announcement is neither an offer to purchase nor the solicitation of an offer to sell any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any offer or sale of such securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The Offers are made solely pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement dated the date hereof and the accompanying Prospectus.

The New Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For these purposes, a “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (11) or Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1129 (the “Prospectus Regulation”).

Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the New Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared; therefore, offering or selling the New Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

 

4


The Prospectus Supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of New Bonds in any Member State of the EEA will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of New Bonds.

This announcement must be read in conjunction with the Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Prospectus. This announcement and the Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Prospectus contain important information which should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to any Offer. If any holder of Eligible Bonds is in any doubt as to the action it should take, it is recommended that such holder seek its own financial and legal advice, including as to any tax consequences, immediately from its stockbroker, bank manager, attorney, accountant or other independent financial or legal adviser. None of Peru, the joint dealer managers or the Information and Exchange Agent makes any recommendation as to whether holders of Eligible Bonds should tender or exchange Eligible Bonds or participate in the Offers.

This announcement contains forward-looking statements and information that is necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. No assurance can be given that the transactions described herein will be consummated or as to the terms of any such transactions. Peru assumes no obligation to update or correct the information contained in this announcement.

DISCLAIMER

The Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Prospectus is not for release, publication or distribution to any person located or resident in any jurisdiction where it is unlawful to distribute the Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Prospectus. Persons into whose possession the Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Prospectus comes are required by Peru, the joint dealer managers and the Information and Exchange Agent to inform themselves about, and to observe, any such restrictions.

This announcement is neither an offer to purchase nor the solicitation of an offer to sell any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any offer or sale of such securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The Offers are made solely pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement dated the date hereof and the accompanying Prospectus.

The New Bonds are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For these purposes, a “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (11) or Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No. 2017/1129 (the “Prospectus Regulation”).

 

8


Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the New Bonds or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared; therefore, offering or selling the New Bonds or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

The Prospectus Supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of New Bonds in any Member State of the EEA will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of New Bonds.

This announcement must be read in conjunction with the Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Prospectus. This announcement and the Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Prospectus contain important information which should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to any Offer. If any holder of Eligible Bonds is in any doubt as to the action it should take, it is recommended that such holder seek its own financial and legal advice, including as to any tax consequences, immediately from its stockbroker, bank manager, attorney, accountant or other independent financial or legal adviser. None of Peru, the joint dealer managers or the Information and Exchange Agent makes any recommendation as to whether holders of Eligible Bonds should tender or exchange Eligible Bonds or participate in the Offers.

This announcement contains forward-looking statements and information that is necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. No assurance can be given that the transactions described herein will be consummated or as to the terms of any such transactions. Peru assumes no obligation to update or correct the information contained in this announcement.
