This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on December 15, 2023, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed on January 25, 2024 (as so amended, the “Original Schedule 13D” and, as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the ADSs. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

As previously disclosed, the Issuer agreed to call a general shareholders’ meeting on February 22, 2024 for shareholders of the Issuer to vote on the Board Size Amendment. The general shareholders meeting was held on February 22, 2024 and the Issuer disclosed publicly through a Hecho de Importancia filed with the Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores in Peru on February 22, 2024 that the Board Size Amendment was approved at the meeting.

The approval of the Board Size Amendment has created two new vacancies on the Board. The Reporting Persons expect such vacancies to be filled by shareholder election at the Issuer’s next annual general shareholders’ meeting, which, in accordance with Peruvian law, must be held before the end of March, 2024. Furthermore, the Reporting Persons understand that the Board will nominate to fill such vacancies two individuals proposed by Antofagasta.

The Reporting Persons plan to propose two individuals (the “Antofagasta Nominees”) to the Board to be nominated by the Board for election as directors of the Issuer to fill the Board vacancies created by the approval of the Board Size Amendment. The Reporting Persons understand that the Antofagasta Nominees will be included in the proxy card (or similar voting card) sent to shareholders and ADS holders for the Issuer’s annual general shareholders’ meeting held in 2024. The Reporting Persons will support the election of the Antofagasta Nominees and may solicit votes for the Antofagasta Nominees from other shareholders or ADS holders using a proxy solicitor or similar firm.

 

Item 7.

Material to be Filed as Exhibits

Item 7 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following Exhibit:

 

5.

Hecho de Importancia publicly filed by the Issuer on February 22, 2024 with the Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores in Peru
