PART I
| ITEM 1. | EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING HISTORY |
A. Effective as of September 1, 2015, Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones ProVida S.A. (“Old Provida”) merged with and into Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones Acquisition Co. S.A. (which was formerly known as MetLife Chile Acquisition Co. S.A., was the surviving entity of the aforementioned merger and effective as of September 1, 2015 was renamed as Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones ProVida S.A.). The renamed surviving entity is herein referred to as New Provida. New Provida became the successor issuer to Old Provida under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and succeeded to Old Provida’s reporting obligations thereunder. Pursuant to Rule 12g-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the common stock, without nominal (par) value, of New Provida is deemed to be registered under paragraph (g) of Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The common stock of Old Provida and the common stock of New Provida, as successor registrant to Old Provida, are herein collectively referred to as the Common Stock.
New Provida, as successor registrant to Old Provida, is filing this Form 15F pursuant to Rule 12h-6(d). Old Provida first incurred the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act in November 1994.
B. New Provida, as successor registrant to Old Provida, has filed or submitted all reports required under Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and corresponding rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder for the 12 months preceding the filing of this Form 15F, and has filed at least one annual report under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act on Form 20-F in the 12 months preceding the filing of this Form 15F.
| ITEM 2. | RECENT UNITED STATES MARKET ACTIVITY |
