It was on October 30, 2020 when WOM requested its registration in the securities registry of the Commission for the Financial Market (CMF) to issue publicly offered securities other than shares, according to the request that entered the regulator at that time.
There it also specified that, “for this purpose, it is recorded that, together with this request, the application for registration of two lines of bonds for a total of UF 10 million each and a duration of 10 and 30 years, respectively, counted from the date of registration in the Securities Registry”.
However, now the company has reversed the registration of both lines of bonds. Through a presentation submitted to the CMF on March 14, signed by the general manager of the company, Christopher Laska, they asked the regulator to “authorize the withdrawal of the documentation presented and nullify the applications for registration” of both lines of bonds.
On March 22, the response from the CMF arrived, since by means of an official letter it informed WOM that “the request for registration of both lines is considered withdrawn”. Although the regulator also clarified that he might not return the records, he replied that they would be archived.
After being consulted, in WOM they indicated that “from the company they began the process of inscription to the CMF at a time that they wanted to issue debt, however, that issue was finally carried out on the international market in January of last year, so they decided to leave this process on standby until they deem it necessary to reopen it.”
