The IDB Group announces that it is in conversations with its client EPM to determine the conditions of a prepayment of the loan provided by the IDB Group to finance the Ituango Hydroelectric Project in Colombia.

This announcement is made in light of uncertainties with the fulfillment of the next milestones agreed in the loan contract and its impact on the project.

The IDB Group and EPM will be working on the terms and deadlines for a completion of the loan contract and prepayment conditions.

The IDB Group remains committed to Colombia, working with the Government to support its economic and social development objectives.
