The Transaction is made up of a facility (the “Facility”) of up to COP625 billion for the end benefit of Colombia Móvil S.A. ESP (the “Company” or “Tigo”), whereby IDB Invest will issue one or more letters of credit (the “SBLC”) to other local banks acceptable to IDB Invest (the “Bank”) in order to cover Tigo’s obligations under certain security issued by the Bank in favor of the Ministry of Information Technology and Communications (“MinTIC”) and the Single Information Technologies and Communications Fund (“FonTIC”).
