website at https://www.bladex.com/en/investors. 

Important notice to beneficial shareholders of Class E shares who hold their shares through a broker rather than directly

in their own name: In accordance with the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules, your broker will not be able to vote your

shares with respect to any non-routine matters (including the election of directors) if you have not given your broker specific

instructions to do so. There are five non-routine matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting: (1) the approval of the audited

consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, (2) the ratification of the appointment of our

independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, (3) the election of directors (4) the

advisory vote on executive compensation and (5) to amend Article 1 of the Bank’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of

the Bank from Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. to Bladex, Inc.

 

Note to Shareholders

A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions from the beneficial owner on non-routine matters, and therefore broker

non-votes may exist in connection with such proposals. Most of our outstanding shares are held in this manner, so it is important

that you submit a vote. We strongly encourage all shareholders to vote. Please vote as soon as possible. 

To ensure that you are properly represented at the Annual Meeting as a shareholder, we ask that you please read and complete

the enclosed materials promptly, and that you duly sign and date the proxy card with your vote. All shareholders shall have the

option to use the Internet, telephone, or mail to vote their proxy in accordance with the instructions provided in their proxy cards. 

The Board of Directors of the Bank (the “Board”) recommends that you vote FOR the proposals as set forth in the proxy

card. Your vote and support are important to the Bank. 

On behalf of the Board, we thank you for your cooperation and continued support, and look forward to your attendance at the

Annual Meeting on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.

Sincerely,

Miguel Heras

Chairman of the Board

To ensure that you are properly represented at the Annual Meeting as a shareholder, we

Proxy Statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders To be held on April 21, 2026

This Proxy Statement is being furnished to holders of shares of common stock of Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior,

S.A. (hereinafter called “Bladex” or the “Bank”) in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of the Bank (the

“Board”) of proxies to be used at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held virtually via

www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BLX2026, on Tuesday April 21, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. (Panama time), and at any

postponements or adjournments thereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to the Annual Meeting in this Proxy

Statement will mean the Annual Meeting and any postponements or adjournments thereof. References to “$” are to United States

dollars. 

The Annual Meeting has been called for the following purposes:

1		to approve the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (Proposal 1);
2		to ratify the appointment of KPMG (“KPMG”) as the Bank’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 (Proposal 2);
3		to elect three directors (two directors to represent the holders of Class A Shares of the Bank’s common stock (“Class A Director”) and one director to represent the holders of the Class E shares of the Bank´s common stock (“Class E Directors”)), each to serve a three-year term (Proposal 3);
4		to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Bank’s executive officers (Proposal 4);
5		to amend Article 1 of the Bank’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Bank from Banco Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. to Bladex, Inc. (Proposal 5); and,
6		to transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

The Board recommends that all shareholders vote FOR each of Proposal 1, Proposal 2 and Proposal 5. With respect to Proposal

3, the Board recommends that (i) all holders of the Class A shares (“Class A Shareholders”) vote FOR  granting proxy holders the

discretion to vote, in accordance with their best judgment, for any Class A Directors nominated at the Annual Meeting, and (ii) all

holders of the Class E shares (“Class E Shareholders”) vote FOR Julianne Canavaggio as director to represent the holders of

Class E shares of the Bank’s common stock. With respect to Proposal 4, the Board recommends that all shareholders vote FOR

the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Bank’s named executive officers as disclosed in “Compensation of

Executive Officers and Directors” and the related narrative disclosure included elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. This Proxy

Statement is being mailed to shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on or about March 21, 2026. If the enclosed

proxy card is properly executed and returned to the Bank in time to be voted at the Annual Meeting, the shares represented

thereby will be voted in accordance with the instructions marked thereon. Shareholders shall have the option to use the Internet,

telephone or mail to vote their proxy in accordance with the instructions provided in their proxy cards. The participation of a

shareholder at the Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke that shareholder’s proxy. Shareholders may, however, revoke a

proxy at any time prior to its exercise by delivering to the Bank a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, by attending the

Annual Meeting and voting in person, or by providing written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Bank at Torre V,

Business Park, Avenida La Rotonda, Urbanización Costa del Este, P.O. Box 0819-08730, Panama City, Republic of Panama.

Unless revoked or unless contrary instructions are given (either by voting in person or by subsequent proxy), if a proxy is duly

Bladex	2026 Proxy Statement		5

Proxy Statement

signed, dated and returned, but has no indication of how the applicable shareholder wants to vote with respect to any of the

proposals set forth in such proxy, then such proxy will be deemed to grant authorization to vote as follows: (1) FOR Proposal 1 to

approve the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025; (2) FOR Proposal 2

to ratify the appointment of KPMG as the Bank’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending

December 31, 2026; (3) FOR Proposal 3 to grant proxy holders the discretion to vote, in accordance with their best judgment, to

elect Julianne Canavaggio as director to represent the Class E Shareholder; (4) FOR Proposal 4 to approve, on an advisory

basis, the compensation of the Bank’s named executive officers as disclosed in “Compensation of Executive Officers and

Directors”; FOR Proposal 5 amend Article 1 of the Bank’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Bank from Banco

Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. to Bladex, Inc., (Proposal 5); and (6) in accordance with the best judgment of the

proxy holders with respect to any other matters which may properly come before the Annual Meeting. 

To reduce the expense of delivering duplicate proxy materials to our shareholders, we will be delivering only one set of proxy

materials to multiple shareholders who share an address unless we receive contrary instructions from any shareholder at that

address. This practice, known as “householding,” reduces duplicate mailings, saving printing and postage costs as well as natural

resources. Each shareholder retains a separate right to vote on all matters presented at the Annual Meeting. If such a

shareholder wishes to receive a separate set of proxy materials, the additional copy can be requested by contacting the Secretary

of the Bank at Torre V, Business Park, Avenida La Rotonda, Urbanización Costa del Este, P.O. Box 0819-08730, Panama City,

Republic of Panama. A separate set of proxy materials will be sent promptly following receipt of the request. If such shareholder

wishes to receive a separate set of proxy materials in the future, the request may be made at the same address provided above.

Solicitation

The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Bank. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, the Bank, through its

directors, officers and other employees, may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, fax or e-mail. The Bank will also request

persons, firms and corporations holding shares in their names or in the names of nominees, which are beneficially owned by

others, to send the proxy material to, and obtain proxies from, such beneficial owners and will reimburse such holders for their

reasonable expenses in doing so. The Bank may engage a proxy soliciting firm to assist in the solicitation of proxies. The cost of

the services provided by such firm is not expected to exceed $10,500, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Voting, Outstanding Shares and Quorum

The Board of Directors established March 16, 2026 as our record date. Therefore, only shareholders of record of our common

stock at the close of business on March 16, 2026 (the “Record Date”), may vote, either in person or by proxy, at the Annual

Meeting. The shares of the Bank that entitle the holders of such shares to vote at the Annual Meeting consist of the Class A

shares, Class B shares, and Class E shares, with each share entitling its owner to one vote per share at meetings of the

shareholders of the Bank, except with respect to the election of directors. 

For the election of directors, the votes of the holders of each class of shares of the Bank’s common stock will be counted

separately as a class to elect the director(s) that represent such class. 

The holders of each class of common stock have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors, which means

that the shareholders of each class have a number of votes equal to the number of shares of such class held by each

shareholder, multiplied by the number of directors to be elected by such class. A shareholder can cast all of its votes in favor of

one candidate, or distribute them among the directors to be elected, as the shareholder may decide. The candidates who receive

the most favorable votes are elected as directors. 

The presence (in person or by proxy) of the holders of at least one half (½) of the total issued and outstanding shares of all

classes of the Bank’s common stock, plus one additional share of the Bank’s common stock, is necessary to constitute a quorum

at the Annual Meeting. The presence (in person or by proxy) of the holders of at least one half (½) of the issued and outstanding

shares of each class of the Bank’s common stock electing directors at the Annual Meeting, plus one additional share of each

such class, is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of electing such directors. If a quorum is

not attained at the Annual Meeting on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. (Panama time), then a second meeting will be held

at 11:30 a.m. (Panama time) on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 with the shareholders present (in person or by proxy) at such second

meeting. At such second meeting, a quorum will be constituted by the shareholders present (in person or by proxy) at such

meeting; and for the purpose of electing directors, a quorum will be constituted by the shareholders of each separate class of

shares present (in person or by proxy) at such meeting.

opinion, in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders will vote to approve

the Bank’s annual audited consolidated financial statements; however, the audited consolidated financial statements are not

of the Bank will be available to answer any questions that may be posed by shareholders of the Bank attending the Annual

Meeting regarding the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements.

Proposal 2 To Ratify the Appointment of KPMG as the Bank’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm For the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2026

	Board Recommendation
		The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the board, which is responsible for the final recommendation of the Bank’s independent registered public accounting firm, unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG as the bank’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the Bank’s

independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit the Bank’s financial statements. The Audit Committee evaluates

the election of the Bank’s independent auditors each year and determines whether to re-engage the current independent auditor

or consider other firms. For 2026, for the purpose of this evaluation, the Bank conducted a competitive process after which the

Audit Committee determined to re-engaged KPMG as the Bank’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31,

2026.

The shareholders will vote to ratify the appointment of KPMG as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal

year ending December 31, 2026, as auditors of the Bank, to report on the Bank’s audited consolidated financial statements and

to perform such other appropriate audit related services as may be required.

In connection with the audit of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and during the subsequent interim period through the

date of this proxy statement, neither the Bank, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted KPMG regarding either (i) application of

accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be

rendered with respect to the consolidated financial statements of the Bank, in any case where a written report or oral advice

was provided to the Bank by KPMG, that KPMG concluded was an important factor considered by the Bank in reaching a

decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as

that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a ‘‘reportable event’’ (as that term is

defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The Bank has been advised by KPMG that neither that firm nor any of its affiliates has any relationship with the Bank or its

subsidiaries, other than the relationship that typically exists between independent auditors and their clients. KPMG will have

representatives present at the Annual Meeting who will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire, and who will

be available to respond to questions that may be posed by shareholders of the Bank attending the Annual Meeting.

Proposal 3 Election of Directors

	Board Recommendation
		The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the holders of Class E shares vote FOR the election of Julianne Canavaggio as director of the bank representing the holders Class E shares of common stock.

The Board consists of ten directors, in accordance with the Bank’s Articles of Incorporation. Three directors are elected by the

Class A Shareholders, five directors are elected by the Class E Shareholders, and two directors are elected by the holders of all

classes of the Bank’s common stock. In the event the number of issued and outstanding Class F shares is equal to or greater

than 15% of the total issued and outstanding shares of all classes of the Bank’s common stock, the Class F shareholders shall

have the right to elect one director, and the total number of directors shall be increased from 10 to 11. As of the Record Date,

there are no issued or outstanding Class F shares. Except for Directors, Ms. Alexandra M. Aguirre, Mr. Ricardo Manuel Arango

and Mr. Miguel Heras, all current members of the Board are independent under the terms defined by applicable laws and

regulations, including rules promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company

Manual, and Rule No. 05-2011 as amended by Rule No. 05-2014 of the Superintendency of Banks of Panama. Information

regarding the independence determination of directors is included on the Bank’s website at https://www.bladex.com/en/

governance.

As a bank organized and based in Panama, Bladex is subject to Panamanian laws and regulations in the operation of its

business, in addition to the rules and regulations of the NYSE and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to foreign

private issuers. In making determinations as to director independence, our Board must therefore not only apply applicable SEC

and NYSE rules, but also applicable Panamanian law.

The Board has determined that any Director who is related to a company that provides advisory or consulting services to the

Bank will not be considered independent and will be excluded from this consideration, as a result of a specific Panamanian

banking regulation. This specific regulation differs significantly from applicable SEC and NYSE independence requirements,

which do not include this requirement in such a wide and unqualified manner.

Members of the Board are elected at annual meetings of shareholders of the Bank, and each director serves a term of three

years. Directors can be re-elected multiple times. For the election of directors representing a class of shares of the Bank’s

common stock, the votes of the holders of such class of shares are counted separately as a class. 

The holders of each class of common stock have cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors representing

such class. This means that a shareholder of each class has the number of votes equal to the number of shares of such class

held by the shareholder multiplied by the number of directors to be elected by such class, and the shareholder can cast all of his,

her or its votes in favor of one candidate or distribute such votes among all of the directors to be elected, or among two or more of

them, as the shareholder may decide. The candidates who receive the most favorable votes are elected as directors. 

Bladex	2026 Proxy Statement		11

Proposal 3

At the Annual Meeting, common shareholders will be asked to elect three directors (two directors to represent the holders of the

Class A shares of the Bank’s common stock and one director to represent the holders of the Class E shares of the Bank’s

common stock) to the Board. The votes of the holders of the Class E shares will be counted separately as a class for the purpose

of electing the director to represent the holders of the Class E shares. Each elected director will serve a term of three years. The

Board has nominated Julianne Canavaggio, as director to represent the holders of the Class E shares of the Bank’s common

stock.

Two Directors to be Nominated for Election to Represent Holders of Class

A Shares

At this Annual Meeting, Class A Shareholders will have the opportunity to nominate two qualified candidates, in accordance with

the Bank´s Policies and Procedures for the election of the Class A shares of the Bank’s common stock. 

One Class E Director Nominated for Election 

With the recommendation of the Bank’s Compensation Committee, the Board has nominated Julianne Canavaggio, for election

as director to represent the holders of the Class E shares of the Bank’s common stock.

Proposal 4 To Approve, on an Advisory Basis, the Compensation of the Bank’s Executive Officers

	Board Recommendation
		The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the foregoing resolution for the reasons outlined below.

While we are not subject to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act’s (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) rules

governing say-on-pay and say-on-frequency, an advisory vote on the frequency of shareholders votes on named executive officers’

compensation was conducted in connection with the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in conformity therewith. The Board

recommended, and the Bank’s shareholders agreed, that the advisory vote on executive compensation be held on an annual basis.

Accordingly, the Bank is providing shareholders with an advisory vote on compensation programs for the Bank’s named executive

officers (sometimes referred to as “say-on-pay”). This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the

overall compensation of the Bank’s named executive officers as described in this Proxy Statement.

This vote is non-binding. The Nomination, Compensation and Operations Committee, which pursuant to its Charter is comprised

solely of independent directors (see below), and the Board expect to take into account the outcome of the vote when considering

future named executive officers’ compensation decisions to the extent they can determine the cause or causes of any significant

negative voting results.

As described in detail under “Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors”, included elsewhere in this Proxy

Statement, the Bank’s compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executive

officers who are able to achieve corporate objectives and create stockholder value. Equity compensation in the form of

stock options, restricted stock and/or restricted stock units that are subject to further time-based vesting is a significant

component of executive compensation. We believe that our compensation programs, with their balance of short-term

incentives (including cash bonus awards) and long-term incentives (including equity awards that vest between three and

four years) reward sustained performance that is aligned with long-term shareholder interests. Shareholders are encouraged

to read “Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors” and the related narrative disclosure included elsewhere in this Proxy

Statement for a more detailed description of the Bank’s compensation programs and plans.

For the reasons outlined above, and further described and explained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, we believe that our

executive compensation program is well-designed, appropriately aligns executive pay with the Bank’s performance, and

incentivizes desirable behavior. Accordingly, we are asking you to endorse our named executive officers’ compensation program

by voting for the following resolution:

“Resolved, that the shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Bank’s named executive officers as

disclosed in the “Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors” section in this Proxy Statement.”

Proposal 5 To Amend Article 1 of the Bank’s Articles of Incorporation to Change the Name of the Bank

	Board Recommendation
		The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the foregoing resolution for the reasons outlined below.

We are proposing to amend Article 1 of the Bank’s Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Bank from Banco

Latinoamericano de Comercio Exterior, S.A. to Bladex, Inc.

For Proposal 5 to be approved, the following votes will be required:

i.the affirmative vote of holders of at least three-fourths (3/4) of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Shares; and

ii.the affirmative vote of holders of at least one half (½) plus one of all classes of shares of the Bank’s common stock

represented at the Annual Meeting.

Both the current Articles of Incorporation and the proposed amendment were originally drafted in the Spanish language and

translated into English for your convenience. Attached hereto as Annex A is the relevant article of the Articles of Incorporation in

English, showing (i) current article of the Articles & Incorporation, (ii) a redline reflecting the proposed amendment under Proposal

5 and (iii) the corresponding clean, amended version. In the event of any discrepancies between the meanings of the terms of the

Articles of Incorporation in English and the Articles of Incorporation in Spanish, the meanings of the terms of the Articles of

Incorporation in Spanish will govern.

A copy of the current Articles of Incorporation in Spanish and the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation in Spanish

can be requested, without charge, by contacting the Secretary of the Bank at Torre V, Business Park, Avenida La Rotonda,

Board Leadership Structure

The Board recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure so as to

provide an independent oversight of management. The Bank currently separates the positions of Chief Executive Officer and

Chairman of the Board.

As defined by the SEC in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, at least one of the members of the Audit Committee is an “audit committee

financial expert”.

In compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, the Rules

of the Superintendency of Banks of Panama, the Bank’s organizational documents and charters of each of the following Board

Committees, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, all members of the Audit Committee, and all members of the

Nomination, Compensation and Operations Committee of the Bank are independent directors.

Our Board believes that its leadership structure promotes an effective board that supports and challenges management

appropriately.

Director Education

The Board believes that director education is essential to the ability of the directors to provide oversight and fulfill their roles. It is

important that directors receive additional information and training about issues that are relevant to exercising prudent oversight

of the management of the Bank. As such, the Bank regularly provides training that covers its industry and related current

business, regulatory and governance topics presented by internal and external experts.

All new directors receive an orientation and training that is individually tailored, taking into account the director’s experience,

background, education and committee assignments. The Bank’s new director orientation program is led by members of senior

management, in consultation with the Chairman of the Board and each of the Bank’s new directors, and covers a review of the

Bank’s business groups, strategic plan, financial statements and policies, risk management framework and significant risks,

regulatory matters, corporate governance and key policies and practices (including the Bank’s Code of Ethics and Compliance

programs), as well as the roles and responsibilities of its directors.

The Board and its committees participate in and receive various forms of training and education throughout the year, including

business update sessions; management presentations on the Bank’s businesses, services, and products; and information on

industry trends, regulatory developments, best practices, and emerging risks in the financial services industry. Other educational

and reference materials on governance, regulatory, risk, and anti-money laundering and anti-corruption as well as other relevant

topics are regularly included in Board and committee meeting materials and maintained in an electronic library available to

directors.

Information Regarding the Board

Director Nomination Process

As a financial entity regulated by applicable corporate and banking laws and regulations of the Republic of Panama and by the

laws and regulations applicable to foreign private issuers listed on the New York Stock Exchange and registered with the

Securities and Exchange Commission, Bladex considers critical to have in place and regularly review and strengthen a clear and

transparent process for the search, identification, evaluation and application process of persons who wish to become directors of

the Bank. The purpose of this process is to ensure high standards of corporate governance and have a board of directors

comprised of individuals who have the preparation, knowledge, experience, variety of backgrounds, values and commitment

necessary to carry out their duties and responsibilities.

The selection and nomination process for directors of the bank is led by the Nomination, Compensation and Operations

Committee (the “NC&O Committee”) in coordination with the Chairman of the board of directors and the other members of the

Board (nonetheless, the board of directors may alternatively constitute for specific instances an ad-hoc committee to substitute

the NC&O Committee for the purpose of evaluating the eligibility requirements of candidates or coordinating the selection and

nomination process). In any case, the NC&O Committee or the ad-hoc committee, as applicable, will regularly evaluate and

recommend to the board of directors, for its final approval, the eligibility requirements that the candidates for the position of

directors of the board of directors of the Bank must meet, as well as the selection and nomination process.

The current eligibility requirements are based on several criteria, including (1) the personal aptitudes of the candidates, (2)

professional background and experience, and (3) other basic requirements (e.g. minimum age, university degree, etc.).

Furthermore, these basic eligibility requirements are supplemented by regulatory eligibility requirements which are consistent

with, and are aimed at ensuring that Bladex complies with applicable requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the

Superintendency of Banks of Panama, including certain independence and “no incompatibility” requirements.

The NC&O Committee is responsible for screening and recommending the nomination of director candidates to the Board.

When searching for new directors, the NC&O Committee actively seeks out candidates from varied backgrounds to include in the

pool from which Board nominees are chosen. When identifying and evaluating potential director nominees, including current

members of the Board who are eligible for re-election, the NC&O Committee seeks a balance of knowledge, experience, and

capability on the Board and may consider the following:

■Ethics, integrity and adherence to our values;

■Qualities such as character, business judgment, independence, relationships, professional experience, length of service,

and the like;

Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors

The Nomination, Compensation and Operations Committee has reviewed and discussed the below “Compensation of Executive

Officers and Directors” section with the Bank’s management, and based on this review and discussion, the Nomination,

Compensation and Operations Committee has recommended to the Board that the following “Compensation of Executive Officers

and Directors” discussion be included in the Bank’s Proxy Statement for 2026.

Compensation Consultant

The Nomination, Compensation and Operations Committee has authority to retain compensation consulting firms to assist it in

the evaluation of executive officer and employee compensation and benefit programs. In 2025, the Nomination, Compensation

and Operations Committee retained a specialized consultant to review the Bank's Salary Compensation scheme.

Executive Officers Compensation

In addition to a fixed base salary, and in order to incentivize the alignment and collaboration of all areas of the Bank, the Bank

pays to its executive officers variable compensation on an annual basis, based on the extent to which each officer meets certain

individual and corporate objectives which are defined by the Board of Directors. This variable compensation is paid in both cash

and in stock options and/or restricted stocks.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of variable cash compensation paid by the Bank to its

current executive officers for their services was $1,695,694.

In February 2008, the Board approved the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2008 Plan”), which allows the Bank, from

time to time, to grant restricted shares, restricted stock units, stock options and/or other stock-based awards to the directors,

executive officers and non-executive employees of the Bank. This plan was revised in October 2015 and amended and restated

as the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”).

On February 25, 2025, the Bank granted to current executive officers an aggregate of 82,939 restricted stocks corresponding to

2024 performance. These restricted stocks vest 25% of the amount granted per year, with the first vesting on March 25, 2025,

one month after the grant date, and the subsequent vesting on each anniversary of the grant date. As of December 31, 2025, the

compensation cost charged against the Bank’s 2025 income in connection with these restricted stocks was $4,700,408. The total

remaining compensation cost of $3,172,854, will be charged over a period of 3.1 years.

The Bank sponsors a defined contribution plan for its expatriate officers. The Bank’s contributions are determined as a

percentage of the eligible officer’s annual salary, with each officer contributing an additional amount withheld from his salary. All

contributions are administered by a trust through an independent third party. During 2025, the Bank charged the salaries expense

$47,960 with respect to the defined contribution plan.

Information Regarding the Board

Results of the 2025 Advisory Vote on Compensation of Executive Officers

At the Bank’s annual meeting of shareholders held on April 29, 2025, our shareholders were asked to approve, on an advisory

basis, the Bank's fiscal year 2024 executive officers’ compensation programs (commonly referred to as the “say on pay”

proposal). A substantial majority (89.75%) of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal at that meeting were voted in favor of the

proposal. The NC&O Committee believes that these results affirm our shareholders’ support for the Bank’s approach to executive

compensation, and therefore did not change its approach in fiscal year 2025. The NC&O Committee will continue working to

ensure that the design of the Bank’s executive officers’ compensation program is focused on long-term shareholder value

creation and emphasizes pay for performance.

Compensation and Risk

The Bank reviews and monitors the extent to which compensation practices and programs for senior executives and employees

whose activities, individually or as a group, may create incentives for excessive risk taking.

In light of the actions referred to above, the Bank and the Board have not identified any risks arising from the Bank’s

compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Bank. Furthermore,

certain aspects of the Bank’s executive compensation programs, such as the combination of performance-based short-term cash

bonuses and performance-based long-term equity awards, reduce the likelihood of excessive risk-taking, and instead create

incentives for senior executives to work toward the long-term growth of the Bank.

Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE)

In addition to being listed on the New York Stock Exchange, in 2025 we also listed our Class E shares on the Long-Term Stock

Exchange (“LTSE”). The LTSE is an SEC‑registered national securities exchange designed for companies committed to long-

term value creation. As an LTSE‑listed company, we publish policies focused on long-term value creation and stockholder

engagement, and we adhere to the LTSE’s listing principles. Copies of our LTSE policies are available on our website at

www.bladex.com. Information on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement.

Clawback Policy

In 2023, the Bank adopted a clawback policy that complies with NYSE filed listing standards and SEC rules. Under the policy, if

the Bank is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting

requirement under the U.S. federal securities laws, the Board shall, subject to certain exceptions, seek to recover “excess

incentive-based compensation” from each individual who is a Section 16 officer or was a Section 16 officer during the

performance period for such incentive-based compensation. For this purpose, excess incentive-based compensation generally is

the amount of incentive-based compensation that is based on a financial performance measure that is in excess of the amount

that otherwise would have been received had such incentive-based compensation been determined based on restated amounts

in the accounting restatement. The clawback policy applies to incentive-based compensation for which the financial performance

metric was attained during the three-year period preceding the date of the accounting restatement.

Board of Directors Compensation

Each non-employee Director of the Bank receives an annual cash retainer of $85,000 for his or her services as a Director and the

Chairman of the Board receives an annual cash retainer in the amount of $135,000.

The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual retainer of $8,500 and the Chairmen of each of the

Nomination, Compensation and Operations Committee, Risk Policy and Assessment Committee, Finance and Business

Committee, and Anti-Money Laundering Compliance and Sustainability Committee receives an additional annual retainer of

$5,000. The non-Chairman members of the Audit Committee receive an additional annual retainer of $3,000 and each member of

Stock Ownership Policy for Directors and Executive Officers

Since October 2013, the Board of Directors has adopted share ownership guidelines for directors and executive officers. This

policy enables the Bank to meet its objective of aligning directors’ and executives’ interests with those of the shareholders.

Under these guidelines, each director within three years of joining the Board, is required to accumulate 9,000 shares (13,500 for

the Chairman of the Board), and to maintain at least this ownership level while serving as a member of the Board. Presently, all

Board members are in compliance with the guidelines as they apply to them.

The Chief Executive Officer is required to own shares of the Bank’s common stock worth at least two and a half times his annual

base salary. Other Executive Officers are required to own stock equal to one time their annual base salary. These executive

officers have up to seven years to comply with this share ownership requirement, measured from the later of the date of adoption

of these guidelines or the date that they became subject to the guidelines. All executive officers named in the Beneficial

Ownership table in this Proxy Statement are in compliance with the guidelines as they apply to them.

The following elements are included in determining the Directors’ and Executive Officers’ share ownership for purposes of these

guidelines: shares owned individually and by minor dependents or spouses; unvested restricted shares and restricted stock units;

and vested or unvested stock options.

Corporate Governance

During 2022 - 2024, we carried out a comprehensive review of our practices and processes together with external ESG

specialists. This work allowed us to identify improvement opportunities, strengthen our internal guidelines, and establish policies

and procedures that embed ESG principles into key organizational functions. It enabled us to align perspectives, unify criteria,

and develop internal capabilities with a stronger foundation.

Environmental ■Measurement and management of climate-related risks and opportunities, aligned with internationally recognized frameworks (e.g., TCFD / sectoral climate‑risk analytics). ■Operational environmental footprint management and eco‑efficiency practices across facilities. ■Integration of environmental criteria into credit analysis and approval through the strengthened Environmental & Social Risk Management System. Social ■Fundación Crece Latinoamérica: education and employability programs supporting youth and communities across. ■Internal sustainability training to build capabilities and strengthen culture organization wide. Governance ■ESG governance structure with Board oversight and specialized committees; updated roles and supervision flows. ■Code of Ethics, compliance standards, and integrity as the foundation of corporate conduct. ■Annual Sustainability Report aligned with SDGs, UN Global Compact, SASB, GRI, and TCFD. Sustainable Finance ■Sustainable Finance Framework and Internal Taxonomy to classify transactions by ESG contribution. US$175MM  financed in 2025. ■Embedded ESG due diligence in transactions, prioritizing sensitive sectors and complex structures. ■Climate risk classification framework (high/medium/low) developed with S&P/Climanomics; operational rollout planned.

Building on this progress, in 2025 we began the active implementation of our Sustainability Action Framework, structured around

our pillars and supported by a sequential work plan to guide its execution. All areas connected to our material topics are involved

in this process, integrating the Framework’s actions into their day‑to‑day operations and generating steady progress across the

organization. This collaborative approach has allowed sustainability to evolve naturally within our operations, supporting

decision‑making and strengthening our relationships with clients, correspondent banks, and investors.

This work is supported by our Bladex Sustainability Policy, available on our website, which consolidates the institutional

guidelines that direct how we incorporate environmental, social, and governance considerations into our activities.

Governance

Oversight of ESG

As an overseer of risk and a steward of long-term shareholder value, the Board has the ultimate responsibility for the oversight of

ESG-related risks and opportunities that impact our business. During 2025, the Compliance, Anti-Money Laundering and

Sustainability Committee provided primary oversight of our ESG initiatives and programs. This Committee is best positioned to

oversee ESG due to the expertise and make up of its Directors, and the existing strong focus on governance and compliance

topics that are critical to our business.

Other Committees will also play a relevant role and receive regular updates on ESG progress and goals mainly the Sustainability

and ESG Committee and the Risk Committee, who will receive regular updates on ESG progress and objectives.

The ESG Action Framework, policies and ESG reporting will be managed by the Investor Relations and ESG Vice Presidency

and ESG leaders from the different areas. The working group consists of cross-departmental leaders in our organization including

risk, strategic planning, communications, finance, legal, and investor relations. This group works with subject matter experts to

ensure implementation of work streams and the collection of data and information for reporting purposes.

Enterprise Risk Management

The Risk Policy and Assessment Committee (“Committee”) is responsible for reviewing all policies related to prudent enterprise

risk management. The Committee also reviews and assesses exposures to the risks facing the business, including ESG risk

factors such as business continuity, cybersecurity, and climate-related risks. The Committee performs its duties based on reports

received regularly from Management Committee and through its interactions with the Enterprise Risk Management area and

other members of the Bank's management. The risk management team at Bladex is responsible for ensuring there are proper

policies and procedures in place for escalation in the event of an emergency or other event that can disrupt business practices.

Business Ethics

Our Code of Ethics outlines our business ethics and compliance expectations and applies to all Directors, Officers and

Employees. The Code of Ethics requires that each individual deal fairly, honestly and constructively with governmental and

regulatory bodies, customers, and suppliers and prohibits any individual’s taking unfair advantage through manipulation,

concealment, abuse of privileged information or misrepresentation of material facts. Furthermore, it imposes an express duty on

all Directors, Officers and Employees to act in the best interests of the Bank.

All Directors, Officers and Employees of the Bank are required to avoid any situation that might cause a conflict of interest. Any

issues should be promptly reported using the Bladex Ethics Line. Information about how to submit a report or complaint is

communicated in annual training to all Bladex employees, and available on the Bank’s website at https://www.bladex.com.

The Code of Ethics also imposes additional requirements with respect to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer

and the Senior Vice President - Accountant, including an obligation to adhere to high ethical business standards and to be

sensitive about situations that could result in actual or apparent conflicts of interest. Any violation of the Code of Ethics constitutes

grounds for disciplinary action, including dismissal and possible legal action. In situations involving one of the above mentioned

executives, where the appearance or the potential of a conflict of interest is involved, but where the executive does not believe

that a significant conflict of interest exists, the executive is required to obtain approval from the Audit Committee before getting

involved in that situation.

Directors, Officers and Employees must not compete with the Bank for personal gain, or misappropriate the Bank’s corporate

opportunities, through the use of the Bank´s information or through the use of such person´s position at the Bank. Directors,

Officers and Employees must refrain from buying or selling the Bank’s shares or securities based on confidential or privileged

information of material importance to the Bank and its businesses.

Cybersecurity and Information Security

Risk Oversight

The Board recognizes the importance of maintaining the trust and confidence of the Bank’s shareholders, clients, and employees,

and devotes significant time and attention to oversight of cybersecurity and information security risk. The Risk Policy and

Assessment Committee receives regular reporting on cybersecurity and information security risk. The Board and the Risk Policy

and Assessment Committee also receive annual training sessions on cybersecurity and information security topics. In 2018, the

Risk Policy and Assessment Committee’s Charter was updated to expressly include its responsibility for overseeing cybersecurity

and information security risks as well as the steps taken by management to understand and mitigate such risks.

Management and Safeguards

The Bank has approved policies and implemented procedures defining roles and responsibilities for managing information

security as part of the Information Security and Technological Risk Management Framework. These policies and procedures

cover any access to data, resource management and information systems by the Bank’s employees, suppliers, and other

persons or entities dealing with the Bank at any given time.

The Bank’s Information Security Team is responsible for ensuring compliance with the applicable policies and procedures by any

person with access to its systems. The Bank also engages independent third-party consultants to review and assess its

cybersecurity program.

The Bank’s cybersecurity program was developed using a holistic approach, which covers both technical and strategic measures.

This program is based on four fundamental pillars: Perimeter and Cloud Security, Service and Infrastructure Security, User

Security and Data Security.

Information Security Certification

In 2025, we obtained the international ISO 27001:2022 certification, which validates the robustness of our Information Security

Management System (ISMS) and its alignment with global best practices.

ESG in Credit Risk Analysis

We aim to manage our business for the long term while providing value for our clients and shareholders by incorporating ESG

issues considerations into our processes for managing and governing risk across our financial services and investments.

During 2021, Bladex developed a Social and Environmental Risk Policy considering as guidance the IFC’s and other recognized

entities´ frameworks which allow the integration of environmental and social issues in the risk assessment. We assigned an

Environmental and Social Rating to our portfolio and started the process to review and identify existing companies with publicly

available ESG information/reports.

During 2021-2024, we completed the evaluation of the entire portfolio, with more focus and analysis on high risk clients and we

began the process of updating the system with new tools that seek to improve the evaluation.

As for the carbon footprint, we define the measurement as an annual process that will allow us to know the behavior of the

portfolio year by year, we are also in the process of defining the different types of exposure of our clients to climate risk, adding

mitigation scenarios and execution of possible tensions, processes that we will execute in detail with a consultant during 2026.

Social

Human Capital Management

At Bladex, we consider Human Capital the backbone for all of the Bank’s business activities and, as such, employees’ wellbeing

continues to be the basis for meeting the Bank’s objectives. Our Human Capital strategy is underpinned by an unwavering

engagement to our values. During 2025, these were revised and updated to meet our Purpose “To build bridges between Latin

America and the world to boost growth for our clients and the region”. Our core values are: Excellence, Integrity, Commitment,

Growth and Creating Value. Our employees participated actively in the definition of these values, which represent and promote

our culture.

We take a holistic approach that evaluates the full employee experience, from recruitment, selection and onboarding, to benefits,

training and professional development, engagement and volunteering. The bank established Balance Scorecards, Commercial

Scorecards and Functional Scorecards to evaluate performance and, as of 2025, implemented the evaluation of Competencies

through a platform that also keeps track of continuous Feedback, reassuring the importance of leadership throughout

performance administration.  The corporate performance is measured through the bank’s net income; the employee’s

performance is measured by their contribution to the bank’s objectives and their alignment to corporate values and competencies.

This exercise allows a better understanding of how each employee’s performance contributes in the calculation of their variable

compensation, as well as the impact of their competencies in overall performance.

We want Bladex to be a great place to work where employees can build a career. Most of our vacancies or new positions are

offered internally prioritizing the professional growth of our employees. We equip them with tools, resources and opportunities

designed to build critical skills and enhance their career path within our organization. We collect employee feedback on a regular

basis and are continuously evolving and adapting to meet the changing needs of the organization. We have maintained the

possibility of a hybrid model to work from home when necessary- to address employee wellness, we sponsor the participation of

employees in sports events, we offer a wellness application with pre-ordered exercise lessons and provide activities such as

coffee chats, an internal social network, and a calendar of events to keep employees connected and engaged. 

At Bladex we ensure full compliance with health and safety standards and undergo comprehensive internal audit processes to

meet any gaps in our management system. In 2025, we still maintained the wellness program developed in 2021 based on six

key pillars focused on employees’ physical, mental, financial, environmental, nutritional and social health.

Board’s Composition

Among other key factors, the Board’s Nomination, Compensation and Operations Committee values candidates with diverse

backgrounds who can contribute varied skill sets and perspectives when evaluating candidates for positions on the Bank's Board

of Directors. The Nomination, Compensation and Operations Committee generally views and values diversity from the

perspective of professional and life experiences and recognizes that diversity may include considerations of gender, race,

national origin or other characteristics that can contribute to the Bank’s strategic vision and mission. Gender diversity was

strengthened by having four female Directors on the ten-member Board of Directors. Moreover, the fact that seven different

nationalities are represented on the ten-member Board of Directors reflects the importance given to diversity by the Board of

Directors.

The presence of different nationalities and cultures among our employees enhances Bladex’s brand and makes us an attractive

employer for talent acquisition. Having a multicultural work environment is one of our main strengths which facilitates business

management across the region. The Bank’s goal is to have all employees, regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, age,

gender, national origin, or other characteristics, feel valued, respected and accepted for their unique characteristics and

contribution to Bladex.

The Bank has approved the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy and implemented procedures defining roles and responsibilities

with the purpose of ensuring in all our operations an environment of respect, protection and valuation of the diversity of all our

people, without any distinctions, and allowing for a fair meritocracy for the professional development of each individual.  Our

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy is one of the documents new hires must read and comply to before their first day at Bladex,

and annually the Human Development Department presents a talk on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion to update employees on

new trends in this important topic.

Community Giving

Fundación Crece Latinoamérica-Gonzalo Menéndez Duque (the “Foundation”) is the Bank´s strategic social investment vehicle

that contributes to the sustainable development in the region at the community level. In partnership with non-profit organizations

and with the support of our corporate volunteers, the Foundation has played an important role promoting positive social and

environmental impact.

During 2025, we focused our efforts on strengthening our two pillars of action: the promotion of education and environmental

sustainability. In the educational field, we supported schools in vulnerable communities through the strengthening of school meal

programs, the development of cultural and psychosocial support activities, infrastructure improvements, and the promotion of

access to and continuity in education.

In the environmental field, we established partnerships to promote environmental education, to promote recycling and circular

economy practices, as well as environmental education and awareness initiatives aimed at the protection of ecosystems.

Environment

Climate Risk

Multiple events have rapidly increased the attention paid to the financial services sector’s role in climate change. As evolving

political, regulatory, and market conditions incentivize and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy, we will actively

monitor the channels through which physical and transition risks must be identified, assessed, and mitigated. Bladex recognizes

that a variety of climate-related financial risks may manifest over a long duration, as well as the possibility that events or

developments could drive a more immediate impact. We are conducting an initial assessment of the most likely transmission

channels for climate risk and then we will further build capabilities to assess, monitor, and respond to the potential short-term and

longer-term horizon risks posed by climate change.

Bladex has decided that it will not finance certain operations due to the potential negative impact on the environment. These

include production of or trade of ozone depleting substances, trade in wildlife or wildlife products, commercial logging operations

or equipment, and production on pesticides and herbicides subject to international restrictions or bans.

Environmental Stewardship

Our operational footprint is relatively small; however, we still take initiative to reduce our negative environmental impact in areas

where we have the most control. We maintain a paper-free culture that promotes reduced consumption of paper and ink. Our

headquarters in Panama is LEED certified since 2013 and is built for optimal energy efficiency. We practice recycling on-site,

including e-waste which is collected, recycled, and properly disposed by a certified third party.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee is currently composed of the six members of the Board set forth below each of whom is an independent

director, based upon the independence standards adopted by the Board, which incorporate the independence requirements

under applicable laws, rules and regulations. The members of the Audit Committee have maintained independence through the

year 2025.

The Bank’s management is responsible for the Bank’s financial statements and reporting process, including the system of internal

controls over financial reporting and has represented to the Audit Committee that the Bank’s audited consolidated financial

statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). KPMG, the Bank’s

independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for performing an integrated audit of the Bank’s consolidated

financial statements in accordance with IFRS, attesting to the effectiveness of the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting

based on the audit, and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee reviews the Bank’s financial reporting process on behalf of

the Board. The Audit Committee’s role and responsibilities are to monitor and oversee these processes as set forth in a written

Audit Committee Charter adopted by the Board. The Audit Committee’s Charter is available on the Bank’s website at https://

www.bladex.com/en/governance. The Committee reviews and assesses the adequacy of the Charter at least annually and

recommends any changes to the Board for approval.

In fulfilling its responsibilities for 2025, the Audit Committee has:

▪Reviewed and discussed with the Bank’s management and KPMG the Bank’s December 31, 2025 audited consolidated

financial statements, along with management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial

reporting;

▪Met with KPMG, and has discussed the results of the audit performed and its evaluation of the internal control over

financial reporting;

▪Discussed with KPMG the matters that independent registered public accounting firms must communicate to Audit

Committees under Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) rules;

▪Received from KPMG the written disclosures and the letter required by the PCAOB’s Ethics and Independence Rule 3526,

Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence, and has discussed with KPMG its independence from

the Bank and its management; and

▪Considered whether the provision of audit-related services to the Bank is compatible with KPMG’s independence, and has

determined that the provision of such audit-related services to the Bank is compatible with KPMG’s independence from the

Bank.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the December 31,

2025 audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Bank’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended
