1. PETROPERU has been complying with making the corresponding payments for the construction of the Talara Modular Hospital, in accordance with the provisions of the contract signed with the SATEC-IRPM LATAM SAC Consortium, for an equivalent to 70% of the total cost of the contracted work.
2. The SATEC-IRPM LATAM SAC Consortium delivered the work 47 days late, which have been penalized, according to the terms established in the contract and which were promptly communicated to their legal representatives.
3.

4. Currently, we are in the liquidation process, which, although it has already been notified to the legal representatives of the Consortium, has not been completed, due to the disagreements that exist between its partners.
