Señor Superintendente:

 

Conforme a lo establecido en los artículos 9 y 10 de la Ley N°18.045 y a lo dispuesto en el artículo 147 de la Ley 18.046, se informa que en sesión ordinaria del día de ayer el directorio de Banco Santander - Chile aprobó contratar el siguiente servicio tecnológico con la sociedad relacionada ISBAN España: implementación y despliegue de portales de la Intranet Corporativa Privada y mantenimiento recurrente por tres años.

 

Con relación a esta operación, los directores Oscar von Chrismar, Lucía Santa Cruz, Roberto Zahler, Roberto Méndez, Carlos Olivos, Lisandro Serrano, Juan Pedro Santa María y Raimundo Monge manifestaron la conveniencia para el banco en la contratación de los servicios señalados, ajustándose en precio, términos y condiciones a aquellos que prevalecen en el mercado, de acuerdo también con el informe del Comité de Directores y Auditoría del banco.

 

Se hace presente que el director señor Vittorio Corbo se abstuvo por la circunstancia de ser director de Banco Santander, S.A. y para el evento que pudiera estimarse que tenga interés en virtud de su posición, considerando que la empresa Isban España pertenece al Grupo Santander

 

 

Saluda atentamente a usted,
