BANCOLOMBIA S.A. ANNOUNCES THE COMPLETION OF ITS CORPORATE STRUCTURE CHANGES
Bancolombia S.A. (“Bancolombia”) announced that, effective as of today the procedures announced to the market on October 29, 2024, aimed at enhancing the corporate structure of Bancolombia and its subsidiaries (“Grupo Bancolombia”), have been completed. These procedures included the establishment of a new holding company for Grupo Bancolombia named Grupo Cibest S.A. (“Grupo Cibest”) and the execution of a series of related corporate transactions (the “Corporate Structure Changes”).
As a result, as of today, Grupo Cibest is the parent, or holding company, of all financial entities and other companies that are part of Grupo Bancolombia, including Bancolombia.
Additionally, as a result of the completion of the Corporate Structure Changes, Bancolombia’s shareholders (excluding Grupo Cibest) have become shareholders of Grupo Cibest. Grupo Cibest issued, on their behalf, the same number and class of shares (common shares and preferred shares with no voting rights), under the same terms and conditions as those previously held in Bancolombia. This ensures that shareholders maintain the same ownership percentage they held in Bancolombia. In turn, their shares in Bancolombia (excluding those held by Grupo Cibest) have been cancelled. Holders of Bancolombia American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) will receive equivalent ADRs of Grupo Cibest.
The common shares and the preferred shares with no voting rights issued by Grupo Cibest are listed on the Colombian Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Valores de Colombia – BVC) under the symbols “CIBEST” and “PFCIBEST,” respectively. The ADRs representing Grupo Cibest’s preferred shares will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “CIB”, the same symbol under which the ADRs representing Bancolombia’s preferred shares were traded on the NYSE prior to the Corporate Structure Changes, and will be available for trading starting Monday, May 19, 2025.
Bancolombia will remain the issuer of its outstanding bonds in Colombian pesos and U.S. dollars.
As of today, Grupo Cibest is organized as follows1:
Grupo Cibest will control Bancolombia directly, and indirectly through four other Colombian companies that are 100% owned by Grupo Cibest. Grupo Cibest will contribute Bancolombia shares in kind to these companies, resulting in the following shareholding structure of Bancolombia:
Bancolombia’s Shareholders |
Ownership (%) | Number of Shares | ||||||
Grupo Cibest S.A. |
94.5 | % | 945 | |||||
Inversiones Cibest S.A.S. |

The products and services offered by Grupo Bancolombia and the subsidiaries of Grupo Cibest will remain the same, and clients will continue to be served through the existing channels, with no changes to the terms and conditions of their products.
