BOGOTA, Colombia, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ecopetrol S.A. ECOPETROLEC the “, Company”, or “, Ecopetrol”, ) announces that the Financial Superintendency of Colombia (SFC), through Resolution 1139 dated June 11, 2025[1], authorized an amendment to the prospectus for the issuance and placement program (the “PEC” or the “Program”) of Ecopetrol’s local public bonds and commercial paper.
This amendment, formalized through Addendum No. 5, will be incorporated into the Program’s prospectus and will include the following key updates:
Issuance, under the PEC, of local public bonds linked to sustainable performance, as well as bonds for specific purposes (green, social, sustainable, and blue bonds);Issuance of bonds that allow in-kind payments by investors;Reopening of bond issuances carried out under the PEC;Issuance of bonds indexed to the UVR (Real Value Unit);Issuance of bonds indexed to the TRM (Representative Market Exchange Rate); andAllocation of securities through a book-building process.
This amendment aims to align the Program with Ecopetrol’s corporate strategy for decarbonization and energy transition, while also expanding the range of alternatives available in capital markets.
It is worth nothing that since the first bond issuance under the Program in August 2013, totaling nine hundred billion Colombian pesos (COP 900,000,000,000), no additional issuances have been made. As a result, Ecopetrol may still issue additional bonds and commercial papers for up to two trillion one hundred billion Colombian pesos (COP 2,100,000,000,000).
Ecopetrol will duly inform the market of any future issuances carried out under the Program.
