Re.: MATERIAL EVENT

Dear Sirs:

In accordance with article 28 of the Capital Markets Law and CONASEV Resolution for Material Events and Reserved Information and Other Communications number 107-2002-EF/94.10, as modified by CONASEV Resolution number 009-2003-EF/94.10, Credicorp Ltd. complies with notifying you of the following Material Event:

1.   In a session held on January 18, 2007, Credicorp’s Board of Directors agreed to set the date for the Annual General Shareholder’s meeting for Friday, March 30, 2007, at 3:00 pm, at the main offices of Banco de Credito del Peru, located at 156 Calle Centenario, Laderas de Melgarejo, in La Molina, Lima, Peru to attend to the following matters:

•

The consideration and approval of the company’s Annual Report for the year ended on December 31, 2006;

 

 

•

The consideration and approval of the company’s consolidated financial statements and External Auditors’ report for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The Board has established that those shareholders who are officially registered as shareholders of the company on February 08, 2007 (“Record Date”) will be entitled to attend and vote in the above mentioned shareholder’s meeting.

In accordance with the company’s Bye-laws, if a quorum is not met in the first instance, the meeting will be postponed until April 04, 2007 at the same place and time.

Please note that in Credicorp’s letter dated January 15, 2007, a request was made for exemption of the requirement to submit, as of this date, copy of the audited financial statements and of the annual report, according to the Regulation for Material Events and Reserved Information and Other Communications, given that our company is registered in Bermuda, and its shares are listed in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), and together with Bank of new York (BONY), which is Credicorp’s stock transfer agent, a Record Date is determined to attend and vote in the Annual General Shareholder’s meeting, with a long lead time, considering that a letter and PROXY material is to be sent to each shareholder approximately 30 days before the meeting.

The company’s 2006 Annual Report and the independent Auditors Report and Opinion will be approved by the Board prior to being considered at the Annual General Shareholders meeting, at which time said documents will be presented to the CONASEV in accordance with the regulations for Material Events and Reserved Information and Other Communications.

Sincerely,

/s/ Fernando Palao
