As of December 2024, the results reflect the bank's financial strength. Profits increased by 13.9% compared to 2023. This strong performance was achieved thanks to significant growth in net loans of 16.1% and the excellent quality of the portfolio, reflected in a maturity index of 0.2%.

In addition, the credit rating agency Moody's Local assigned Banco Industrial El Salvador, S.A. a long-term national rating of EAAA.sv with a stable outlook and very low default risk.

Banco Industrial El Salvador, S.A., prepares and presents its financial statements in accordance with the "Accounting Manual for Deposit-Taking Financial Institutions and Holding Companies" (NCF-01), issued by the Central Reserve Bank of El Salvador. The 2024 results reflect the financial strength of Banco Industrial El Salvador, S.A. and its comprehensive performance in all strategic pillars. Profits increased by more than 13.9%, substantially exceeding the net result for 2023. This strong performance was achieved thanks to significant growth in net loans of 16.1% and the excellent quality of the portfolio, reflected in a PAR90 indicator of 0.2%. On the other hand, deposits grew by 19.1%, which strengthened the business's liquidity position. To view the complete Financial Statements, see Annex II.

The bank's financial projections for the period 2025–2035 are based on a strategy of sustained growth, operational efficiency, and stability in the macroeconomic environment.

The loan portfolio is expected to close 2025 at $749 million, corresponding to +27% versus 2024. For the period 2025–2035, sustained growth in line with historical trends is projected, with a CAGR of 10.3%. This growth is due to a combination of greater penetration in strategic segments, strengthening of digital channels, and a prudent but dynamic credit policy, which will allow loan income levels to exceed $150 million by 2035, with a target portfolio rate of 7.10%.

The main funding mechanism is deposits, which are projected to grow in line with the loan portfolio at a CAGR of 10.6%, closing at a total of $2 billion by 2035. In addition, a target reduction in financial costs to levels close to 3.7% is projected.

Furthermore, the issuance of Digital Debt Assets (TKNBIES1) is being considered to complement and diversify funding sources. The projections include the gradual issuance, through series, of US$50 million in Digital Debt Assets (TKNBIES1). Each series has independent characteristics adapted to market conditions at the time of placement, ensuring competitiveness and aligning with investor expectations.

The bank's equity shows a solid and growing structure through capitalization of $20 million in 2026, reaching $90 million in paid-in capital, reflecting $320 million in equity by 2035, with a CAGR of 11.1%.

The company's general expenses are forecasted to grow steadily at 2.50%, in line with historical performance.

The pre-tax profit margin is estimated at an average of 20.3% for the period, reflecting a compound growth of 12.6% over the 10-year projection, reaching a profit of more than $25 million by 2035.

Profitability measured through ROE and ROA is projected to perform positively, estimated at an average of 9% and 1%, respectively.

The bank's financial projections reflect a solid equity position, backed by an efficient capital structure and adequate levels of liquidity and reserves. Payment capacity remains robust, with coverage and solvency indicators exceeding regulatory minimums. The projected growth of the loan portfolio, together with excellent management of deposits and funding sources, is driving balanced expansion of the balance sheet. This dynamic translates into sustained improvements in profitability, efficiency, and institutional resilience, consolidating the bank as a strategic player within the financial system, with the capacity to grow responsibly and generate long-term value.

11. TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION

11.1 Technology used

11.1.1 Blockchain

The Digital Assets offered are based on Algorand's Blockchain technology. This is a decentralized network designed to be fast, secure, and scalable. It uses a consensus mechanism called Pure Proof of Stake (PPoS), which allows transactions to be validated efficiently without the need for high energy consumption.

The basic principles governing Algorand include:

1. Security: a blockchain that cannot be manipulated.

2. Scalability: high transaction throughput with minimal latency and low costs.

3. Finality: instant transaction finality with no possibility of forks.

4. Decentralization: a truly distributed network with no central authorities.

5. Sustainability: environmental responsibility through minimal energy consumption.

Advanced cryptography, including verifiable random functions (VRF) and cryptographic sorting, is used to ensure fairness, prevent collusion, and maintain a high level of security.

11.1.2 Protocol

The Algorand Standard Asset (ASA) protocol is the token standard for creating and deploying assets on Algorand. Built directly on top of the Algorand base layer, ASAs inherit its key properties: high transaction speed, minimal fees, traceability, and resistance to forks.

This approach offers multiple advantages:

1. Security and traceability: Being recorded on a public blockchain, every transaction related to the token is immutably recorded, facilitating audits and regulatory compliance.

2. Configurability: ASAs allow parameters such as freezing, revocation, access control, and transfer rules to be set, enabling the token's behavior to be adapted to different business models or legal requirements.

3. Interoperability: As a native standard, ASA tokens can easily interact with smart contracts, wallets, exchanges, and other applications in the Algorand ecosystem.

4. Operational efficiency: Algorand's infrastructure allows thousands of transactions to be processed per second with confirmation times of less than 5 seconds, improving the user experience and reducing operating costs.

11.1.3 Protocol interoperability

The system is composed of a modular architecture that exposes its components, connectors, and functionalities through a robust authorization and authentication scheme. This scheme allows control of access to the various services in the ecosystem, ensuring security, traceability, and regulatory compliance in all operations.

One of the main objectives of this infrastructure is to enable the development of solutions geared toward the digital representation of real-world assets. The architecture allows these assets to be represented in a standardized way, facilitating their interoperability.

The system is also designed to integrate with traditional and digital financial infrastructures, including entry and exit ramps between fiat currencies and digital assets. These ramps enable secure and regulated conversion between different forms of value and are backed by licenses and compliance mechanisms that ensure alignment with local and international regulatory frameworks.

In addition, the architecture includes specialized modules for digital asset management, enabling purchase, sale, and holding. These modules operate under principles of transparency, security, and efficiency, and are connected to liquidity mechanisms that enable real-time execution of transactions.

11.1.4 Consensus Algorithm

The Algorand blockchain uses a decentralized Byzantine Agreement protocol that leverages Pure Proof of Stake (Pure POS). This means that it can tolerate malicious users and achieve consensus without a central authority as long as a large majority of the stake is held by non-malicious parties.

This protocol allows many transactions to be processed quickly without sacrificing decentralization. Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchains are scalable, but often at the expense of a small number of validators who have large amounts staked dominating block approvals.

Algorand's PPoS consensus mechanism randomly selects validators and block proposers from anyone who has staked and generated a stake key. The chance of being selected is directly related to the participant's stake as a proportion of the total amount staked.

11.1.5 Incentive mechanisms to secure transactions and applicable fees

The digital assets offered operate on the Algorand blockchain, which has been designed to provide a highly efficient, accessible, and secure environment. The protocol employs an innovative consensus approach based on Pure Proof-of-Stake (PPoS), which allows for open and decentralized participation, where incentives are aligned with the security, stability, and governance of the network.

The incentive mechanisms in Algorand are structured primarily around two pillars:

1. Unlocked staking: Unlike other protocols that require funds to be locked in order to participate in validation, Algorand allows any user with ALGO in their account to participate indirectly in the consensus. This encourages broad distribution of participation without compromising asset liquidity.

2. Decentralized governance: Users can choose to actively participate in the governance of the protocol, which involves voting on key ecosystem decisions. In return, they receive rewards proportional to their commitment and participation, strengthening the model of sustainability and alignment of interests between users and developers.

In terms of transaction fees, Algorand stands out for its extremely low, fixed, and predictable cost structure. Each standard transaction incurs a minimum fee of 0.001 ALGO, allowing for cost-effective operations even on a large scale. This feature makes the protocol an ideal solution for payment applications, decentralized finance (DeFi), digital asset issuance, and micropayments, where operational efficiency is critical.

11.1.6 Smart Contract

Algorand Smart Contracts (ASC1) are self-executing programs on the Algorand Blockchain. They are implemented using a proprietary language called TEAL (Transaction Execution Approval Language), designed to be secure, efficient, and deterministic. Unlike other smart contract environments that allow arbitrary code execution, TEAL is based on an execution model based on transaction approval logic, which significantly reduces security risks and improves the predictability of contract behavior.

Key features of TEAL and smart contracts on Algorand:

1. Security and determinism: As a logic-based language, TEAL avoids nondeterministic executions, improving security and facilitating auditing.

2. Low execution cost: The execution of smart contracts on Algorand maintains the same policy of low and predictable fees, allowing their use in high-volume applications without affecting economic viability.

11.1.7 Custody

The custody of digital assets in blockchain environments requires a comprehensive approach that combines physical, logical, and organizational security practices to protect both funds and associated sensitive information. In this context, advanced mechanisms are implemented to ensure the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of the assets under management.

Among the most relevant measures are:

1. Multi-factor authentication (MFA): Multi-level verification is required to access critical systems, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

2. Multi-signature: Assets are stored with multi-signature schemes that require approval from multiple parties to execute transactions, mitigating operational and custody risks.

3. Robust data and private key encryption: Advanced cryptographic algorithms are used to protect sensitive information, including the use of hardware security modules (HSMs) for key storage.

4. Private key encryption with AES256 algorithm: This method ensures that the key remains secure, as it is transformed into an unreadable format without the appropriate password, which is obtained from a key vault. This reinforces the security of users' digital assets.

5. Infrastructure segmentation and perimeter protection: The technological architecture is designed with layers of isolation between components, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems to prevent unauthorized access.

6. Continuous monitoring and incident response: Security information and event management (SIEM) systems and security operations centers (SOC) are integrated to enable early threat detection and coordinated incident response.

7. Regular external and internal audits: Systematic reviews of security controls are performed by both internal teams and independent entities to validate compliance with policies and standards.

8. Regulatory compliance and international standards: Custody operations are aligned with regulatory frameworks such as KYC/AML, as well as recognized standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and NIST, ensuring secure and transparent practices.

9. Organizational security culture: Continuous training, security drills, and awareness programs are actively promoted for all employees, with the aim of reducing operational, financial, and reputational risks.

11.1.8 Decentralized Registry Operation

Wallet as a Service (WaaS) is used to generate user wallets, creating an address on the blockchain along with its private key. An encryption password is then obtained from a secure key vault, and the private key is encrypted using the AES256 algorithm. Once encrypted, the wallet is delivered to the user.

Creation

Crypto As a Services (CaaS) is used to generate tokens, providing the necessary infrastructure for the generation and management of tokens for customers.

Transfer

Asset transfers are a fundamental operation in the Algorand ecosystem, as they enable the movement of ASA between accounts. These transactions form the backbone of the token economy, enabling the trading, distribution, and general circulation of assets on the blockchain.

Freezing

The freeze capability allows asset issuers to temporarily suspend the transfer of their assets to specific accounts. This feature is especially useful for assets that require periodic compliance checks, need to enforce trading restrictions, or must respond to security incidents. Once an account is frozen, it cannot transfer the asset until the designated freeze address lifts the freeze.

Deletion

The deletion of an ASA (Algorand Standard Asset) is an administrative operation that allows the creator of the asset to permanently deactivate it within the Algorand ecosystem. This prevents any future transfers or interactions with it. This feature is useful for closing asset lifecycles or removing digital instruments that are no longer needed, while maintaining the traceability and transparency inherent in blockchain technology.

11.1.9 Token Flow within the platform of Digital Exchange S.A. de C.V.

The entire investment process including investor registration, wallet funding, token trading, transaction recording, principal and interest payments, and fund withdrawals is conducted exclusively through the Digital Exchange S.A. de C.V. (DAX) platform. Thanks

to the infrastructure based on blockchain and smart contracts, the entire issuance flow guarantees security, transparency, traceability, and regulatory compliance at every stage of the investment cycle.

1. Wallet registration and funding process:

The investor begins by registering on the DAX platform, complying with KYC verification requirements. Once approved, they are assigned a wallet within the platform. This wallet allows them to access all available functions. To begin trading, the investor must make a "cash in," funding their account according to the mechanisms established on the platform

2. Token purchase process:

With funds available in their wallet, investors access the DAX platform marketplace. There, they can purchase tokens on the primary or secondary market, depending on the available supply. Each purchase is recorded on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and traceability. The purchased tokens are automatically credited to the investor's wallet.

3. Capital and interest payment process:

The issuer funds their wallet through the procedure established by DAX. The platform executes payments automatically through smart contracts linked to the issuance. Investors receive the corresponding returns or capital directly in their wallets.

4. Fund withdrawal process (Cash out):

If the investor wishes to withdraw their funds, they can submit a cash-out request from the DAX platform according to the established mechanisms. Once processed, the request

is sent according to the investor's instructions, thus completing the investment cycle safely and efficiently.

11.1.9 Linking the token to a smart contract

Each token is issuanced through a structured process that begins on the DAX platform, where the issuance request for its creation on the blockchain is generated.

The token is created within the framework of the characteristics authorized by the CNAD in this relevant Information Document in accordance with the market conditions for trading each series, ensuring from its creation that the conditions agreed upon with the investor are met from the outset. Once validated, an account is created on Algorand and the smart contract that defines the token supply is deployed, establishing the rules of ownership, transfer, and balance. This contract, implemented in TEAL, is the core that ensures the transparency and immutability of the agreed conditions.

Subsequently, the private keys are stored and secure access is managed, recording all relevant information on the Algorand blockchain: total supply, owner address, and token movements. This on-chain record allows investors to verify in real time the nature of the asset, its origin, and any transactions, ensuring complete traceability and confidence in compliance with the conditions.

The storage, maintenance, and transfer of the issuance are managed through a secure custody system integrated into the DAX platform, which implements access control and encryption mechanisms to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of the assets. As for wallets, each issuance is linked to a unique Algorand account, whose public address is used to record the total supply, initial owner, and subsequent transfers on the blockchain. This address, together with the smart contract, allows for on-chain verification of all operations, ensuring complete traceability and transparency.

Schematically, the creation of smart contracts is carried out as follows:

12. RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

Investing in Digital Assets is speculative in nature and therefore involves a certain degree of risk. Potential investors should therefore carefully consider the following summary of certain risks.

12.1 Issuer risks

Market risk: This risk is related to fluctuations in the market value of the assets of Banco Industrial El Salvador, Sociedad Anónima, on the secondary market. Banco Industrial El Salvador, Sociedad Anónima, reports the company's exposure to interest rate risk to the Board of Directors and Risk Committee.
