Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 10 (“Amendment No. 10”) to Schedule 13D is being filed by (together the “Reporting Persons”):
(i) | Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A., a company organized under the laws of Brazil (“Itaú Parent”). Itaú Parent is the holding company of a Brazilian financial group; and |
(ii) | ITB Holding Brasil Participações Ltda. (“ITB”); |
and relates to the Common Shares, no par value per share (the “Common Shares”), of Banco Itaú Chile (formerly known as Itaú Corpbanca), a company formed in the Republic of Chile (the “Issuer”) and American Depositary Shares (each of which represents one-third of one Common Share) of the Issuer (the “ADSs,” and together with the Common Shares, the “Shares”).
As further described in the U.S. Offer to Purchase, dated June 6, 2023 (the “U.S. Offer to Purchase”) and filed by the Reporting Persons on combined Schedule TO and Schedule 13E-3 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 6, 2023 (the “Schedule TO”), the Reporting Persons made an offer to purchase any and all outstanding Common Shares held by U.S. holders and ADSs held by holders, wherever located, in each case pursuant to the terms and conditions of the U.S. Offer to Purchase (the “U.S. Offer”). The U.S. Offer to Purchase is included as Exhibit I to this Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D, incorporated by reference to Exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO. The results of the U.S. Offer, which expired at one (1) minute past 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 5, 2023, were reported by Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule TO, filed with the SEC on July 6, 2023. Concurrently with the U.S. Offer, the Reporting Persons made an all cash tender offer in Chile, directed to holders of Common Shares, but not holders of ADSs (the “Chilean Offer,” and together with the U.S. Offer, the “Offers”), pursuant to other offering documents published in Chile. Following consummation of the Offers, ITB acquired an aggregate of 2,307,877 Common Shares (including Common Shares represented by ADSs), representing approximately 1.07% of the Issuer’s Common Shares.
This Amendment No. 10 supplements and amends the Schedule 13D filed on July 7, 2014 (the “Initial Schedule 13D”), as amended on June 26, 2015, on April 19, 2016, on January 27, 2017, on March 4, 2019, on November 24, 2020, on March 7, 2022, on July 28, 2022, on March 2, 2023, and on May 31, 2023 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”) by the Reporting Persons (such Schedule 13D, as further amended, this “Statement”). Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Statement shall have the same meanings herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Background of the Offers,” and “Special Factors — Section 2. Purpose of and Reasons for the U.S. Offer; Plans for the Company After the U.S. Offer”.
The Reporting Persons may in the future (i) acquire (or cause one of their affiliates to acquire) additional Shares or other securities of the Issuer, including by means of one or more tender offers, open market purchases or negotiated transactions, each subject to Chilean legal requirements and U.S. legal requirements, if applicable; and (ii) sell or otherwise dispose (or cause one of their affiliates to sell or otherwise dispose) of some or all of the holdings of Shares or other securities of the Issuer through open market sales or one or more negotiated transactions subject to Chilean legal requirements and U.S. legal requirements, if applicable. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities and to carry out any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to this Schedule 13D, to the extent deemed advisable by the Reporting Persons.

After giving effect to the Common Shares (including Common Shares represented by ADSs) acquired in the Offers, which became effective as of July 6, 2023, the Reporting Persons and their subsidiaries collectively directly own an aggregate of 144,269,397 Common Shares (including Common Shares represented by ADSs) representing approximately 66.69% of the Common Shares issued and outstanding, which is described in more detail in the following paragraph.
Following consummation of the Offers: (i) Itaú Parent directly owns 56,896,856 Common Shares (including Common Shares represented by ADSs); and (ii) ITB directly owns 77,211,707 Common Shares (including Common Shares represented by ADSs).
