This prospectus supplement converts certain peso amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York does not report a rate for pesos. Unless otherwise indicated, such peso amounts have been converted at the rate of COP 1,913.98 per US$1.00, which corresponds to the tasa representativa del mercado (representative market rate) calculated on December 31, 2010. The representative market rate is computed and certified by the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia, the Colombian Superintendency of Finance (the SFC), on a daily basis and represents the weighted average of the buy/sell foreign exchange rates negotiated on the previous day by certain financial institutions authorized to engage in foreign exchange transactions (including us). The SFC also calculates and certifies the average representative market rate for each month for purposes of preparing financial statements, and converting amounts in foreign currency to pesos. You should not construe these convenience conversions as a representation that the peso amounts correspond to, or have been or could be converted into, U.S. dollars at the representative market rate or any other rate.
On September 30, 2011, the representative market rate was COP 1,929.01 per US$1.00, as published on October 1, 2011. On January 31, 2012, the representative market rate was COP 1,805.98 per US$1.00, as published on February 1, 2012.
The following table sets forth the low and high peso per U.S. dollar exchange rates and the peso/U.S. dollar representative market rate on the last day of the month, for each of the last six months:

v
ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES AGAINST FOREIGN PERSONS
We are a Colombian company, a majority of our directors and management and certain of the experts named in this prospectus supplement are residents of Colombia, and a substantial portion of their respective assets are located in Colombia.
We have been advised by Brigard & Urrutia S.A., that the Colombian Supreme Court determines whether to enforce a U.S. judgment predicated on the U.S. securities laws through a procedural system known under Colombian law as exequatur. The Colombian Supreme Court will enforce a foreign judgment, without reconsideration of the merits, only if the judgment satisfies the requirements of Articles 693 and 694 of Colombias Código de Procedimiento Civil (Code of Civil Procedure), which provide that the foreign judgment will only be enforced if:
| a treaty exists between Colombia and the country where the judgment was granted or there is reciprocity in the recognition of foreign judgments between the courts of the relevant jurisdiction and the courts of Colombia; |
| the foreign judgment does not relate to in rem rights vested in assets that were located in Colombia at the time the suit was filed and does not contravene or conflict with Colombian laws relating to public order other than those governing judicial procedures; |
| the foreign judgment, in accordance with the laws of the country where it was rendered, is final and is not subject to appeal and a duly certified and authenticated copy of the judgment has been presented to a competent court in Colombia; |
| the foreign judgment does not refer to any matter upon which Colombian courts have exclusive jurisdiction; |
| no proceeding is pending in Colombia with respect to the same cause of action, and no final judgment has been awarded in any proceeding in Colombia on the same subject matter and between the same parties; and |
| in the proceeding commenced in the foreign court that issued the judgment, the defendant was served in accordance with the law of such jurisdiction and in a manner reasonably designated to give the defendant an opportunity to defend against the action. |
The Colombian Supreme Court has generally accepted that reciprocity exists when it has been proven that either a U.S. court has enforced a Colombian judgment or that a U.S. court would enforce a foreign judgment, including a judgment issued by a Colombian court. In accordance with previous rulings of the Colombian Supreme Court, reciprocity may also be granted by a treaty or by law. Such enforceability decisions are considered by Colombian Supreme Court on a case-by-case basis.
The United States and Colombia do not have a bilateral treaty providing for automatic reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. However, Colombia is party to international treaties such as the 1958 New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (the New York Convention), the 1975 Inter-American Convention on International Commercial Arbitration, and the 1965 Washington Convention for the Settlement of Disputes between States and Nationals of Other States.
In the case of foreign arbitral awards that under Colombian law meet the requirements necessary to be considered as rendered in an international arbitration proceeding, the Colombian Supreme Court in a ruling dated July 27, 2011, stated that the only applicable requirements for the enforcement of such arbitral awards in Colombia are those set forth in the New York Convention.
In accordance with the Colombian Supreme Courts ruling, the enforcement order (exequatur) should be decided without reconsideration of the merits of the foreign award unless such award would result in the violation of international public policy. Furthermore, in accordance with the New York Convention and the
vi
Colombian Supreme Courts ruling, recognition and enforcement of the award may only be denied if the party against which the award is being enforced proves the existence of an event listed in the New York Convention as a cause for denying recognition of a foreign award. If the Colombian Supreme Court grants the enforcement order (exequatur), the procedure for enforcement will be decided by the Colombian courts in accordance with the Code of Civil Procedure by means of collection proceedings.

This summary highlights selected information from, or incorporated by reference in, this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus, but does not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should read carefully this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and those documents incorporated by reference into this document, including the Risk Factors and the financial statements and the related notes thereto, before making an investment decision.
Company Overview
We are Colombias leading financial institution, providing a wide range of financial products and services to a diversified individual and corporate customer base throughout Colombia as well as in other jurisdictions such as Panama, El Salvador, Puerto Rico, the Cayman Islands, Peru, Brazil and the United States.
We have grown substantially in recent years, through organic growth as well as through acquisitions. Since 2007, our assets, net loans, deposits and equity have grown at compound annual growth rates of 12.3%, 11.6%, 9.6% and 13.9%, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, we had, on a consolidated basis:
| COP 80,622 billion in total assets; |
| COP 54,745 billion in total net loans and financial leases; |
| COP 48,472 billion in total deposits; and |
| COP 8,466 billion in stockholders equity. |
Our consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2010 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was COP 1,436 billion and COP 1,160 billion, respectively, representing an average return on equity of 19.7% and 19.2%, respectively, and an average return on assets of 2.3% and 2.1%, respectively.
We are a stock company (sociedad anónima), domiciled in Medellín, Colombia and operate under Colombian laws and regulations, mainly the Colombian Code of Commerce, Decree 663 of 1993 (the Financial Statute) and Decree 2555 of 2010. We were incorporated in Colombia in 1945, under the name Banco Industrial Colombiano S.A. or BIC. In 1998, we merged with Banco de Colombia S.A., and changed our legal name to Bancolombia S.A. On July 30, 2005, Conavi and Corfinsura merged with and into Bancolombia, with Bancolombia as the surviving entity. Through this merger, Bancolombia gained important competitive advantages, as Conavi and Corfinsura were two of the top financial institutions in the Colombian market at the time. Conavi, a mortgage bank in Colombia and one of the strongest in retail operations, significantly increased the Banks participation and know-how in these specific markets. On the other hand, Corfinsura, then the largest financial corporation in Colombia and highly regarded for its expertise in handling large and mid-sized corporate credit loans and financial services, its investment bank and its modern and diversified treasury department, materially strengthened our full service franchise.
In May 2007, Bancolombia Panamá acquired Banagrícola, which controls several subsidiaries, including Banco Agrícola in El Salvador, and is dedicated to banking, commercial and consumer activities, insurance and brokerage. Through this first international acquisition, we gained a leadership position in the Salvadorian financial market.
Since 1995, we have maintained a listing on the NYSE, where our ADSs are traded under the symbol CIB, and on the Colombian Stock Exchange, where our preferred shares are traded under the symbol PFBCOLOM. Since 1981 our common shares have been traded on Colombian exchanges under the symbol BCOLOMBIA.
S-1
Strategy
Our goal is to maintain our position as a leading provider of financial services in Colombia and El Salvador while increasing our profitability. The key elements of our strategy are:
Maintaining our Leading Position in the Colombian and El Salvadorian Financial Services Market
We continue to capitalize on our strong brand name recognition and leading market position in Colombia in order to grow our business. We believe that the Colombian financial services market offers new and attractive growth potential. In particular, banking penetration in Colombia, as measured by loans to gross domestic product, is lower than in many of the countries in the region. We believe that this low penetration in combination with strong expected growth in the Colombian economy will support growth in the banking market, particularly in retail and mortgage loans. We intend to maintain our relationships with our corporate clients, while focusing additional resources on under-served segments, which include retail and small businesses, by tailoring innovative banking products targeted at these clients.
Actively Pursuing Cross-Selling Opportunities
We intend to increase our market share and profitability by cross-selling our products and services. We believe that our existing customer base represents a significant opportunity to sell additional banking products and services. We believe that there are particularly attractive opportunities with our corporate banking clients. Within the corporate banking segment, we intend to focus on lower risk, higher margin products and services, such as international trade finance, leasing and factoring.
Focus on Improving Operating Efficiency
We are committed to improving our operating efficiency and profitability. By focusing on investments and development of a technological platform and on the use of electronic distribution channels, we aim to increase our customers use of electronic transactions, thereby addressing our customers evolving needs and potentially increasing the transactions conducted by our customers. We also continue to implement technological solutions aimed at identifying means of improving our pricing processes and assessing the profitability of our business segments. Through these initiatives, we will continue to strive to improve our efficiency ratio.
Increasing our Profitability by more Effectively Deploying our Assets
We continue to seek the most attractive opportunities to improve our profitability. Our acquisition of Banagrícola, S.A. illustrates our decision to strategically use our capital to increase our profitability. We will continue to opportunistically seek other investment opportunities that we believe will enhance our profitability and support our growth strategy.
Recent Developments
On November 3, 2011, we announced our results for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Our consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled COP 1,160 billion, representing a 15.2% increase as compared to COP 1,007 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 totaled COP 2,883 billion, representing a 14% increase as compared to COP 2,528 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in net interest income is due to the growth of the Banks loan portfolio.
S-2
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, provisions for loan and interest losses, net of recoveries, amounted to COP 270 billion, representing a decrease of 42.1% as compared to COP 467 billion for the nine months ended September 30. This decrease in provisions for loan and interest losses was due mainly to a steady improvement in our loan portfolio quality during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Net fees and income from services totaled COP 1,202 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing a 3.5% increase as compared to COP 1,161 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Operating expenses totaled COP 2,651 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of 19% as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, when operating expenses amounted to COP 2,229 billion.
As of September 30, 2011, fees from credit and debit cards represented 33% of total fees.
As of September 30, 2011, our net loans and financial leases totaled COP 54,745 billion, representing an increase of 27.6% as compared to COP 42,892 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2011, our ratio of past due loans to total loans was 2.51%, a decrease as compared to a ratio of 3.35% as of September 30, 2010.
Investments in debt securities as of September 30, 2011 totaled COP 10,166 billion, representing an increase of 15.7% as compared to COP 8,785 billion as of September 30, 2010.
Change in the Organizational Structure
On October 20, 2011, the Bank redesigned its organizational structure. The corporate functions will be divided into seven staff vice-presidencies and the commercial functions will be divided into five business units: Retail and SME Banking, Corporate and Government Banking, Consumer Credit, Capital Markets, and International.
Management Appointments
On December 19, 2011, the bank made the following appointments:

Among the more significant agreed-to economic terms was a salary increase of 7% for the first year, a salary increase for the second year equal to the variation in the Colombian consumer price index (IPC), as certified by the Colombian statistical bureau (DANE), for the period from November 2011 to October 2012, plus 1.5 percentage points, and a salary increase for the third year equal to the variation of IPC for the period from November 2012 to October 2013, plus 1.8 percentage points. The salary increase for the second and third years will be calculated using the highest value of IPC for the twelve-month periods beginning in October and November of each successive year. The parties also agreed to an increase in funds allocated to education and housing loans.

S-11
Investing in our preferred shares and ADSs involves risks. Before you invest in the ADSs, you should consider carefully the information set forth in this section and all the other information provided to you or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement as the same may be updated from time to time by our future filings under the Exchange Act. In addition, new risks may emerge at any time and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance or business operations.
RISKS RELATING TO COLOMBIA AND OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE THE BANK OPERATES
Changes in economic and political conditions in Colombia and El Salvador or in the other countries where the Bank operates may adversely affect the Banks financial condition and results of operations.
The Banks financial condition, results of operations and asset quality are significantly dependent on the macroeconomic, social and political conditions prevailing in Colombia, El Salvador and the other jurisdictions in which the Bank operates. Accordingly, decreases in the growth rate, periods of negative growth, increases in inflation, changes in policy, or future judicial interpretations of policies involving exchange controls and other matters such as (but not limited to) currency depreciation, inflation, interest rates, taxation, banking laws and regulations and other political or economic developments in or affecting Colombia, El Salvador or the other jurisdictions where the Bank operates may affect the overall business environment and may in turn impact our financial condition and results of operations.
In particular, the governments of Colombia and El Salvador have historically exercised substantial influence on each others economies, and their policies are likely to continue to have an important effect on Colombian and Salvadorian entities (including the Bank), market conditions, prices and rates of return on securities of local issuers (including the Banks securities). The uncertainties characteristic of a change in government, including potential changes in laws, public policies and regulations, could cause instability and volatility in Colombia and its markets.
Future developments in the government policies of Colombia and El Salvador could impair the Banks business or financial condition or the market value of its securities, including the preferred shares and ADSs.
The economies of the countries where the Bank operates are vulnerable to external effects that could be caused by significant economic difficulties experienced by their major regional trading partners or by more general contagion effects, which could have a material adverse effect on such countries economic growth and their ability to service their public debt.
A significant decline in the economic growth or a sustained economic downturn of any of Colombia or El Salvadors major trading partners (i.e., the United States, China, Venezuela and Ecuador for Colombia and the United States for El Salvador) could have a material adverse impact on Colombias and El Salvadors balance of trade and remittances inflows, resulting in lower economic growth.
Deterioration in the economic and political situation of neighboring countries could affect national stability or the Colombian economy by disrupting Colombias diplomatic or commercial relationships with these countries. Political tensions between Colombia and Venezuela in recent years have produced lower trade levels that have adversely impacted economic activity. Although relations with Venezuela have improved significantly since President Juan Manuel Santos Calderon took office in August 2010, the possibility of any further resurgence in tensions between the two countries may cause political and economic uncertainty, instability, market volatility, lower confidence levels and higher risk aversion by investors and market participants that may negatively affect economic activity in Colombia and El Salvador.
S-12
A contagion effect, in which an entire region or class of investments is disfavored by international investors, could negatively affect Colombia and El Salvador or other economies where the Bank operates (i.e., Panama, Cayman Islands, Peru and Puerto Rico), as well as the market prices and liquidity of securities issued or owned by the Bank.
Any additional taxes resulting from changes to tax regulations or the interpretation thereof in Colombia, El Salvador or other countries where the Bank operates could adversely affect the Banks consolidated results.
Uncertainty relating to tax legislation poses a constant risk to the Bank. Changes in legislation, regulation and jurisprudence can affect tax burdens by increasing tax rates and fees, creating new taxes, limiting stated expenses and deductions, and eliminating incentives and non-taxed income. Notably, the Colombian and Salvadorian governments have significant fiscal deficits that may result in future tax increases. Additional tax regulations could be implemented that could require the Bank to make additional tax payments, negatively affecting its results of operations and cash flow. In addition, national or local taxing authorities may not interpret tax regulations in the same way that the Bank does. Differing interpretations could result in future tax litigation and associated costs.
Further, the Colombian Government has announced that it is working on a draft bill of law to reform the Colombian tax code, which would be submitted to the Colombian Congress for its approval some time during 2012. As of January 10, 2012, a draft of the tax bill has not been disclosed to the public. Therefore, it is difficult to predict if changes would substantially affect results of operation and financial conditions.
Colombia has experienced several periods of violence and instability, and such instability could affect the economy and the Bank.
Colombia has experienced several periods of criminal violence over the past four decades, primarily due to the activities of guerilla groups and drug cartels. In response, the Colombian government has implemented various security measures and has strengthened its military and police forces by creating specialized units. Despite these efforts, drug-related crime and guerilla activity continue to exist in Colombia. These activities, their possible escalation and the violence associated with them may have a negative impact on the Colombian economy or on the Bank in the future. The Banks business or financial condition and the market value of the Banks securities and any dividends distributed by it could be affected adversely by rapidly changing economic and social conditions in Colombia, and by the Colombian governments response to such conditions.
RISKS RELATING TO THE BANKS BUSINESS AND THE BANKING INDUSTRY
Instability of banking laws and regulations in Colombia and in other jurisdictions where the Bank operates could adversely affect the Banks consolidated results.
Changes in banking laws and regulations, or the manner in which they are interpreted or enforced, in Colombia and in other jurisdictions where the Bank operates, may have a material effect on our business and operations. Moreover, banking and financial services laws and regulations are subject to continuing review and changes, and any such changes in the future may have an adverse impact on the Banks financial position and operations, including making and collecting loans and other extensions of credit.
Although the Bank complies with capital requirements, there can be no assurance that future regulations will not change or require the Bank or the Banks subsidiaries to seek additional capital. Moreover, the various regulators in the world have not reached consensus as to the appropriate level of capitalization for financial services institutions. Regulators in the jurisdictions where the Bank operates may change the current regulatory capital requirements to which the Bank is subject and thereby necessitate equity increases that could dilute existing stockholders, lead to required asset sales or adversely impact the return on stockholders equity and/or the market price of the Banks common and preferred shares.
S-13
Banking regulations, accounting standards and corporate disclosure applicable to the Bank and its subsidiaries differ from those in the United States and other countries.
While many of the policies underlying Colombian banking regulations are similar to those underlying regulations applicable to banks in other countries, including those in the United States, Colombian regulations can differ in a number of material respects. For example, capital adequacy requirements for banks under Colombian regulations differ from those under U.S. regulations and may differ from those in effect in other countries. The Bank prepares its annual audited financial statements in accordance with Colombian GAAP, which differs in significant respects from U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Thus, Colombian financial statements and reported earnings may differ from those of companies in other countries in these and other respects. Some of the differences affecting earnings and stockholders equity include, but are not limited to, the accounting treatment for restructuring, loan origination fees and costs, deferred income taxes and the accounting treatment for business combinations. Moreover, under Colombian GAAP, allowances for non-performing loans are computed by establishing each non-performing loans individual inherent risk using criteria established by the SFC that differ from those used under U.S. GAAP.
The Colombian government is currently undertaking a review of regulations relating to accounting, audit, and information disclosure with the intention of seeking convergence with international standards. Nevertheless, current regulations continue to differ in certain material respects from those in other countries. In addition, there may be less publicly available information about the Bank than is regularly published by or about U.S. issuers or issuers in other countries.
The Bank is subject to regulatory inspections, examinations, inquiries or audits in Colombia and in other countries where it operates, and any sanctions, fines and other penalties resulting from such inspections and audits could materially and adversely affect the Banks business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
The Bank is subject to comprehensive regulation and supervision by the banking authorities of Colombia, El Salvador and the other jurisdictions in which the Bank operates. These regulatory authorities have broad powers to adopt regulations and other requirements affecting or restricting virtually all aspects of the Banks capitalization, organization and operations, including the imposition of anti-money laundering measures and the authority to regulate the terms and conditions of credit that can be extended by financial institutions. In the event of non-compliance with applicable regulations, the Bank could be subject to fines, sanctions or the revocation of licenses or permits necessary to operate its business. In Colombia, for instance, in the event the Bank encounters significant financial problems or becomes insolvent or is in danger of becoming insolvent, banking authorities have the power to take over the Banks management and operations. Any sanctions, fines and other penalties resulting from non-compliance with regulations in Colombia and in the other jurisdictions where the Bank operates could materially and adversely affect the Banks business, financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
An increase in constitutional collective actions (acciones populares), class actions (acciones de grupo) and other similar legal actions involving claims for significant monetary awards against financial institutions may affect the Banks business and results of operations.
Under the Colombian Constitution, individuals may initiate constitutional collective or class actions to protect their collective or class rights, respectively. Colombian financial institutions, including the Bank, have experienced a substantial increase in the aggregate number of these actions. The great majority of such actions have been related to fees, financial services and interest rates, and the outcome of such actions is uncertain. Pursuant to law 1425 of 2010, monetary awards for plaintiffs in constitutional actions or class actions were eliminated as of January 1, 2011. Nevertheless, individuals continue to have the right to initiate constitutional or class actions against the Bank.
S-14
Future restrictions on interest rates or banking fees could negatively affect the Banks profitability.
In the future, regulations in the jurisdictions where the Bank operates could impose limitations regarding interest rates or fees charged by the Bank. Any such limitations could materially and adversely affect the Banks results of operations and financial position. In the past, there have been disputes in Colombia among merchants, payment services and banks regarding interchange fees.
Although such disputes have been resolved, the Superintendency of Commerce and Industry may initiate new investigations relating to the interchange fees. This possibility may lead to additional decreases, which in turn could impact the Banks financial results.
Furthermore, pursuant to article 62 of law 1430 of 2010, Congress granted the government power and authority to establish and define criteria and formulas applicable to the calculation of banking fees and charges and the authority to define maximum limits to banking fees and charges. On December 20, 2011 the Government used the authority granted by law 1430 of 2010 and established in Decree 4809 of 2011 caps to fees banks can charge on withdrawals done from ATMs outside their own networks. Further limits or regulations regarding banking fees, and uncertainties with respect thereto could have a negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
The Bank is subject to credit risk, and estimating exposure to credit risk involves subjective and complex judgments.
A number of our products expose the Bank to credit risk, including loans, financial leases, lending commitments and derivatives.
The Bank estimates and establishes reserves for credit risk and potential credit losses. This process involves subjective and complex judgments, including projections of economic conditions and assumptions on the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans. This process is also subject to human error as the Banks employees may not always be able to assign an accurate credit rating to a client, which may result in the Banks exposure to higher credit risks than indicated by the Banks risk rating system. The Bank may not be able to timely detect these risks before they occur, or due to limited resources or available tools, the Banks employees may not be able to effectively implement its credit risk management system, which may increase its exposure to credit risk. Moreover, the Banks failure to continuously refine its credit risk management system may result in a higher risk exposure for the Bank, which could materially and adversely affect its results of operations and financial position.
Overall, if the Bank is unable to effectively control the level of non-performing or poor credit-quality loans in the future, or if its loan loss reserves are insufficient to cover future loan losses, the Banks financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, the amount of the Banks non-performing loans, including loan portfolios that the Bank may acquire through auctions or otherwise, may increase in the future as a result of factors beyond the Banks control, such as changes in the income levels of the Banks borrowers, increases in the inflation rate or an increase in interest rates, the impact of macroeconomic trends and political events affecting Colombia or other jurisdictions where the Bank operates, or events affecting specific industries. Any of these developments could have a negative effect on the quality of the Banks loan portfolio, causing the Bank to increase provisions for loan losses and resulting in reduced profits or in losses.
The Bank is subject to credit risks with respect to its non-traditional banking businesses, including investing in securities and entering into derivatives transactions.
Non-traditional sources of credit risk can arise from, among other things: investing in securities of third parties, entering into derivative contracts under which counterparties have obligations to make payments to the Bank, and executing securities, futures, currency or commodity trades from the Banks proprietary trading desk
S-15
that fail to settle at the required time due to non-delivery by the counterparty or systems failure by clearing agents, exchanges, clearing houses or other financial intermediaries. Any significant increases in exposure to any of these non-traditional risks, or a significant decline in credit risk or bankruptcy of any of the counterparties, could materially and adversely affect the Banks results of operations and financial position.
The Bank is exposed to risks associated with the mortgage loan market.
Bancolombia is a leader in the Colombian mortgage loan market. Colombias mortgage loan market is highly regulated and has been affected by various macroeconomic factors. Although during the past years interest rates have decreased, periods of sustained high interest rates have historically discouraged customers from borrowing and have resulted in increased defaults in outstanding loans and deterioration in the quality of assets.
The Bank is subject to concentration default risks in its loan portfolio. Problems with one or more of its largest borrowers may adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.
As of September 30, 2011, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Banks 25 largest borrowing relationships, on a consolidated basis, represented approximately 13.57% of the loan portfolio, and no single relationship represented more than 1.28% of the portfolio. Also, 100% of those loans were corporate loans and 100% of these relationships were classified A. However, problems with one or more of the Banks largest borrowers could materially and adversely affect its results of operations and financial position. For more information, see Item 4. Information on the Company E. Selected Statistical Information E.3. Loan Portfolio Borrowing Relationships in the Annual Report.
The value of the collateral or guarantees securing the outstanding principal and interest balance of the Banks loans may not be sufficient to cover such outstanding principal and interest. In addition, the Bank may be unable to realize the full value of the collateral or guarantees securing the outstanding principal and interest balance of its loans.
The Banks loan collateral includes primarily real estate, assets pledged in financial leasing transactions and other assets that are located primarily in Colombia and El Salvador, the value of which may significantly fluctuate or decline due to factors beyond the Banks control. Such factors include macroeconomic factors and political events affecting the local economy. Any decline in the value of the collateral securing the Banks loans may result in a reduction in the recovery from collateral realization and may have an adverse impact on the Banks results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the Bank may face difficulties in enforcing its rights as a secured creditor. In particular, timing delays and procedural problems in enforcing against collateral and local protectionism may make foreclosures on collateral and enforcement of judgments difficult, and may result in losses that could materially and adversely affect the Banks results of operations and financial position.
The Bank is subject to market risk.
We are directly and indirectly affected by changes in market conditions. Market risk, or the risk that values of assets and liabilities or revenues will be adversely affected by variation in market conditions, is inherent in the products and instruments associated with our operations, including loans, deposits, securities, bonds, long-term debt, short-term borrowings, proprietary trading in assets and liabilities and derivatives. Changes in market conditions that may affect our financial condition and results of operations include fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates, securities prices, changes in the implied volatility of interest rates and foreign exchange rates, among others.
The Bank is subject to fluctuations in interest rates, which may materially and adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.
The Bank holds a substantial portfolio of loans and debt securities that have both fixed and floating interest rates. Therefore, changes in interest rates could adversely affect our net interest margins as well as the prices of these securities. Increases in interest rates may reduce gains or the market value of the Banks debt securities.
S-16
Sustained high interest rates have historically discouraged customers from borrowing and have resulted in increased delinquencies in outstanding loans and deterioration in the quality of assets. On the other hand, decreases in interest rates may cause margin compression and lower net interest income as the Bank usually maintains more assets than liabilities at variable rates. Decreasing interest rates also may trigger loan prepayments, which could negatively affect the Banks net interest income. Generally, in a declining interest rate environment, prepayment activity increases, which reduces the weighted average maturity of the Banks interest-earning assets and adversely affects its operating results. Prepayment risk also has a significant adverse impact on the Banks earnings from credit card and collateralized mortgage obligations, since prepayments could shorten the weighted average life of these portfolios, in turn resulting in a mismatch in funding or in reinvestment at lower yields. In addition, as the Bank implements strategies to reduce future interest rate exposure, it may incur costs related to fluctuations in interest rates which, in turn, may impact its results.
The Banks income from its proprietary trading activities is highly volatile.
The Banks trading income is highly volatile. The Bank derives a portion of its profits from its proprietary trading activities and any significant reduction in its trading income could adversely affect the Banks results of operations and financial position. The Banks trading income is dependent on numerous factors beyond its control, such as the general market environment, overall market trading activity, interest rate levels, fluctuations in exchange rates and general market volatility. A significant decline in the Banks trading income, or the incurrence of a trading loss, could adversely affect the Banks results of operations and financial position.
The Bank has significant exposure to sovereign risk, and especially Colombian risk, and the Banks results could be adversely affected by decreases in the value of its sovereign debt securities.
The Banks debt securities portfolio is primarily composed of sovereign debt securities, including securities issued or guaranteed by the Colombian government. Therefore, the Banks results are exposed to credit, market and liquidity risk associated with sovereign debt. As of September 30, 2011, the Banks total debt securities represented 12.6% of its total assets, and 37.61% of these securities were issued or backed by the Colombian government. A significant decline in the value of the securities issued or guaranteed by the Colombian government could adversely affect the Banks debt securities portfolio and, consequently, the Banks results of operations and financial position.
The Bank is subject to market, operational and structural risks associated with its derivative transactions.
The Bank enters into derivative transactions for hedging purposes and on behalf of its customers. The Bank is subject to market and operational risks associated with these transactions, including basis risk (the risk of loss associated with variations in the spread between the asset yield and the funding and/or hedge cost) and credit or default risk (the risk of insolvency or other inability of the counterparty to a particular transaction to perform its obligations thereunder). In addition, the market practice and documentation for derivative transactions is less developed in the jurisdictions where the Bank operates as compared to other more developed countries, and the court systems in such jurisdictions have limited experience in dealing with issues related to derivative transactions. As a result, there is increased operating and structural risk associated with derivatives transactions in these jurisdictions.
In addition, the execution and performance of derivatives transactions depend on the Banks ability to develop adequate control and administrative systems and to hire and retain qualified personnel. Moreover, the Banks ability to adequately monitor, analyze and report these derivative transactions depends, to a great extent, on its information technology systems. These factors may further increase the risks associated with these transactions and could materially and adversely affect the Banks results of operations and financial position.
S-17
The Bank is subject to operational risks.
The Banks businesses are dependent on the ability to process a large number of transactions efficiently and accurately. Operational risks and losses can result from fraud, employee errors and failure to properly document transactions or to obtain proper internal authorization, failure to comply with regulatory requirements, breaches of conduct of business rules, equipment failures, natural disasters or the failure of external systems. The Banks currently adopted procedures may not be effective in controlling each of the operational risks faced by the Bank.
The Banks businesses rely heavily on data collection, processing and storage systems, the failure of which could materially and adversely affect the effectiveness of its risk management, reputation and internal control system as well as its financial condition and results of operations.
All of the Banks principal businesses are highly dependent on the ability to timely collect and process a large amount of financial and other information at its various branches across numerous markets, at a time when transaction processes have become increasingly complex with increasing volume. The proper functioning of financial control, accounting or other data collection and processing systems is critical to the Banks businesses and to its ability to compete effectively. A partial or complete failure of any of these primary systems could materially and adversely affect the Banks decision-making process, its risk management and internal control systems, and the quality of its service, as well as the Banks ability to respond on a timely basis to changing market conditions. If the Bank cannot maintain an effective data collection and management system, its business operations, financial condition, reputation and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. The Bank is also dependent on information systems to operate its website, process transactions, respond to customer inquiries on a timely basis and maintain cost-efficient operations. The Bank may experience operational problems with its information systems as a result of system failures, viruses, computer hackers or other causes. Any material disruption or slowdown of its systems could cause information, including data related to customer requests, to be lost or to be delivered to the Banks clients with delays or errors, which could reduce demand for the Banks services and products and could materially and adversely affect the Banks results of operations and financial position.
Any failure to effectively improve or upgrade the Banks information technology infrastructure and management information systems in a timely manner could adversely affect its competitiveness, financial condition and results of operations.
The Banks ability to remain competitive will depend, in part, on its ability to upgrade the Banks information technology infrastructure on a timely and cost-effective basis. The information available to and received by the Banks management through its existing information systems may not be timely and sufficient to manage risks or to plan for and respond to changes in market conditions and other developments in its operations. The Bank is currently undertaking a project to update its information technology platform that will result in significant changes in the following areas: treasury, credit cards, consumer management, products and distribution channels, financial management and accounting and human resources. Any failure to effectively improve or upgrade the Banks information technology infrastructure and information management systems in a timely manner could materially and adversely affect the Banks competitiveness, financial condition and results of operations.
The occurrence of natural disasters in the regions where the Bank operates could impair its ability to conduct business effectively, and could impact the Banks results of operations.
The Bank is exposed to the risk of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, tropical storms, wind and hurricanes in the regions where it operates. In the event of a natural disaster, unanticipated problems with the Banks disaster recovery systems could have a material adverse effect on the Banks ability to conduct business in the affected region, particularly if those problems affect its computer-based data processing, transmission, storage and retrieval systems and destroy valuable data. In addition, if a significant
S-18
number of the Banks local employees and managers were unavailable in the event of a disaster, its ability to effectively conduct business could be severely compromised. A natural disaster or multiple catastrophic events could have a material adverse effect on the Banks business and results of operations in the affected region.
Acquisitions and strategic partnerships may not perform in accordance with expectations or may disrupt the Banks operations and adversely affect its profitability.
An element of the Banks business strategy is to identify and pursue growth-enhancing strategic opportunities. The Bank may base assessments of potential acquisitions and partnerships on assumptions with respect to operations, profitability and other matters that may subsequently prove to be incorrect. Future acquisitions, investments and alliances may not produce anticipated synergies or perform in accordance with the Banks expectations and could adversely affect its operations and profitability.
The Banks concentration in and reliance on short-term deposits may increase its funding costs.
The Banks principal source of funds is short-term deposits, which together with certain long-term certificates of deposit represented a share of 67.2% of total liabilities as of September 30, 2011 compared to 72.4% and 76.9% at the end of 2010 and 2009, respectively. Because the Bank relies primarily on short-term deposits for its funding, in the event of a sudden or unexpected shortage of funds in the banking systems and money markets where the Bank operates, the Bank may not be able to maintain its current level of funding without incurring higher costs or selling assets at prices below their prevailing market value.
The Banks policies and procedures may not be able to detect money laundering and other illegal or improper activities fully or on a timely basis, which could expose the Bank to fines and other liabilities.
The Bank is required to comply with applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism laws and other regulations. These laws and regulations require the Bank, among other things, to adopt and enforce know your customer policies and procedures and to report suspicious and large transactions to the applicable regulatory authorities. While the Bank has adopted policies and procedures aimed at detecting and preventing the use of its banking network for money laundering activities and by terrorists and terrorist-related organizations and individuals generally, such policies and procedures have in some cases only been adopted recently and may not completely eliminate instances where it may be used by other parties to engage in money laundering and other illegal or improper activities. To the extent the Bank may fail to fully comply with applicable laws and regulations, the relevant government agencies to which it reports have the power and authority to impose fines and other penalties on the Bank. In addition, the Banks business and reputation could suffer if customers use the Bank for money laundering or illegal or improper purposes.
The Bank is subject to increasing competition which may adversely affect its results of operations.
The Bank operates in a highly competitive environment and increased competitive conditions are to be expected in the jurisdictions where the Bank operates. Intensified merger activity in the financial services industry produces larger, better capitalized and more geographically diverse firms that are capable of offering a wider array of financial products and services at more competitive prices. The Banks ability to maintain its competitive position depends mainly on its ability to fulfill new customers needs through the development of new products and services and the Banks ability to offer adequate services and strengthen its customer base through cross-selling. The Banks business will be adversely affected if the Bank is not able to maintain efficient service strategies. In addition, the Banks efforts to offer new services and products may not succeed if product or market opportunities develop more slowly than expected or if the profitability of opportunities is undermined by competitive pressures.
S-19
Downgrades in our credit ratings would increase our cost of borrowing funds and make our ability to raise new funds, attract deposits or renew maturing debt more difficult.
Our credit ratings are an important component of our liquidity profile. A downgrade in our credit ratings would increase our cost of raising funds in the capital markets or of borrowing funds. Certain Colombian institutional investors are only permitted to purchase debt securities that are rated AAA by Colombian credit rating agencies, due to regulatory or internal policies. Purchase of our securities by these investors could be prohibited if we suffer a decline in our local credit rating. Our ability to renew maturing debt could be restricted and more expensive if our credit rating were to decline. Our lenders and counterparties in derivative transactions are sensitive to the risk of a credit rating downgrade. A downgrade in our credit rating may adversely affect perception of our financial stability and our ability to raise deposits, which could make us less successful when competing for deposits and loans in the market place. Our ability to successfully compete depends on various factors, including our financial stability as reflected by our credit ratings.
A new insolvency law in Colombia may limit our monetary collection and right enforcement ability.
Law 1380 of 2010, which provided insolvency protection for individuals and merchants, was declared unconstitutional on September 19, 2011 by the Colombian Constitutional Court because of procedural errors in the legislation process. A new law on the same terms as Law 1380 of 2010 was presented on September 20, 2011 to fill the void left after the constitutional courts decision. If the new law is passed, increased debtor protections could make it more difficult for us to enforce debt and other monetary obligations, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
The Central Bank may impose requirements on our (and other Colombian residents) ability to obtain loans in foreign currency.
The Banco de la República (the Central Bank) may impose certain mandatory deposit requirements in connection with foreign currency-denominated loans obtained by Colombian residents, including the Bank. Although no mandatory deposit requirement is currently in effect, a mandatory deposit requirement was set at 40% in 2008 after the Colombian peso appreciated against foreign currencies. Although we cannot predict or control future actions by the Central Bank in respect of such deposit requirements, which may involve the establishment of a different mandatory deposit percentage. The use of such measures by the Central Bank may be a disincentive for the Bank and our clients to obtain loans denominated in a foreign currency.
RISKS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES AND THE AMERICAN DEPOSITARY SHARES (ADSs)
Preemptive rights may not be available to holders of ADSs.
The Banks by-laws and Colombian law require that, whenever the Bank issues new shares of any outstanding class, it must offer the holders of each class of shares (including holders of ADSs) the right to purchase a number of shares of such class sufficient to maintain their existing percentage ownership of the aggregate capital stock of the Bank. These rights are called preemptive rights. United States holders of ADSs may not be able to exercise their preemptive rights through The Bank of New York Mellon, which acts as depositary (the Depositary) for the Banks ADR facility, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act is effective with respect to such rights and class of shares or an exemption from the registration requirement thereunder is available. Although the Bank is not obligated to, it intends to consider at the time of any rights offering the costs and potential liabilities associated with any such registration statement, the benefits to the Bank from enabling the holders of the ADSs to exercise those rights and any other factors deemed appropriate at the time, and will then make a decision as to whether to file a registration statement. Accordingly, the Bank might decide not to file a registration statement in some cases.
To the extent holders of ADSs are unable to exercise these rights because a registration statement has not been filed and no exemption from the registration requirement under the Securities Act is available, the Depositary may attempt to sell the holders preemptive rights and distribute the net proceeds from that sale, if
S-20
any, to such holders. The Depositary, after consulting with the Bank, will have discretion as to the procedure for making preemptive rights available to the holders of ADSs, disposing of such rights and making any proceeds available to such holders. If by the terms of any rights offering or for any other reason the Depositary is unable or chooses not to make those rights available to any holder of ADSs, and if it is unable or for any reason chooses not to sell those rights, the Depositary may allow the rights to lapse. Whenever the rights are sold or lapse, the equity interests of the holders of ADSs will be proportionately diluted.
The Banks preferred shares have limited voting rights.
The Banks corporate affairs are governed by its by-laws and Colombian law. Under the by-laws and Colombian law, the Banks preferred stockholders may have fewer rights than stockholders of a corporation incorporated in a U.S. jurisdiction. Holders of the Banks preferred shares and ADSs representing those shares are not entitled to vote for the election of directors or to influence the Banks management policies. Under the Banks by-laws and Colombian corporate law, holders of preferred shares (and consequently, holders of ADSs) have no voting rights in respect of preferred shares, other than the right to one vote per preferred share, in the following events:
| in the event that changes in the Banks by-laws may impair the conditions or rights assigned to such shares and when the conversion of such shares into common shares is to be approved; |
| when voting on the anticipated dissolution, merger or transformation of the corporation or change of its corporate purpose; |
| when the preferred dividend has not been fully paid during two consecutive annual terms. In this event, holders of such shares shall retain their voting rights until the corresponding accrued dividends have been fully paid to them; |
| when the general shareholders meeting orders the payment of dividends with issued shares of the Bank; |
| if at the end of a fiscal period, the Banks profits are not enough to pay the minimum dividend and the Superintendency of Finance, by its own decision or upon petition of holders of at least ten percent (10%) of preferred shares, determines that benefits were concealed or shareholders were misled with regard to benefits received from the Bank by the Banks directors or officers, decreasing the profits to be distributed, the Superintendency of Finance may resolve that holders of preferred shares should participate with speaking and voting rights at the general shareholders meeting, in the terms established by law; and |
| when the registry of shares at the Colombian Stock Exchange or at the RNVE is suspended or canceled. In this event, voting rights shall be maintained until the irregularities that resulted in such cancellation or suspension are resolved. |
Holders of the Banks ADSs may encounter difficulties in the exercise of dividend and voting rights.
Holders of the Banks ADSs may encounter difficulties in the exercise of some of their rights with respect to the shares underlying ADSs. If the Bank makes a distribution to holders of underlying shares in the form of securities, the Depositary is allowed, in its discretion, to sell those securities on behalf of ADS holders and instead distribute the net proceeds to the ADS holders. Also, under some circumstances, ADS holders may not be able to vote by giving instructions to the Depositary in those limited instances in which the preferred shares represented by the ADSs have the power to vote.
Relative illiquidity of the Colombian securities markets may impair the ability of an ADR holder to sell preferred shares.
The Banks common and preferred shares are listed on the Colombian Stock Exchange, which is relatively small and illiquid compared to stock exchanges in major financial centers. In addition, a small number of issuers represent a disproportionately large percentage of market capitalization and trading volume on the Colombian
S-21
Stock Exchange. A liquid trading market for the Banks securities might not develop on the Colombian Stock Exchange. A limited trading market could impair the ability of an ADS holder to sell preferred shares (obtained upon withdrawal of such shares from the ADR facility) on the Colombian Stock Exchange in the amount and at the price and time such holder desires, and could increase the volatility of the price of the ADSs.
American Depositary Shares do not have the same tax benefits as other equity investments in Colombia.
Although ADSs represent Bancolombias preferred shares, they are held through a custodian in Colombia that is subject to a specific tax regulatory regime. For Colombian tax purposes, the sale of ADSs by foreign companies, Colombian individuals who are not residents in Colombia, or foreign non-resident individuals who have not started their fifth year of continuous residence in Colombia does not generate Colombian source income and is not subject to income tax in Colombia. Accordingly, the tax benefits applicable in Colombia to equity investments, in particular, those relating to dividends and profits from sale, are not applicable to ADSs. For more information see Tax Considerations, below.
S-22
We will receive net proceeds from the sale of the new ADSs in this offering, of approximately US$256,955,510 million, or approximately US$296,157,986 if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs in full, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, the special structuring fee and estimated offering expenses. We intend to use the aggregate net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

S-27
The declaration, amount and payment of dividends by Bancolombia is based on the Banks unconsolidated earnings. Once the shareholders present at the relevant general shareholders meeting have approved the financial statements, then they can determine the allocation of distributable profits, if any, of the preceding year. This is done by a resolution adopted by the vote of the holders of a majority of the common shares at the annual general shareholders meeting pursuant to the recommendation of the board of directors and the president of the Bank.
Under the Colombian Commerce Code, after payment of income taxes and appropriation of legal and other reserves, and after setting off losses from prior fiscal years, the Bank must distribute to its shareholders at least 50% of its annual net income, or 70% of its annual net income if the total amount of reserves exceeds 100% of its outstanding capital. Such dividend distribution must be made to all shareholders, in cash or in issued stock of Bancolombia, as may be determined by the shareholders, and paid within a year from the date of the ordinary annual shareholders meeting in which the dividend was declared.
Pursuant to Colombias Law 222 of 1995, the minimum dividend per share requirement of 50% or 70% of net income, as the case may be, may be waived by an affirmative vote of the holders of 78% of the shares present at the shareholders meeting.
Under Colombian law and the Banks by-laws, the annual net profits of the Bank must be applied as follows:
| first, an amount equal to 10% of the Banks net profits to a legal reserve until such reserve is equal to at least 50% of the Banks subscribed capital; |
| second, to the payment of the minimum dividend on the preferred shares; and |
| third, allocation of the balance of the net proceeds as may be determined in the ordinary annual shareholders meeting by the vote of the holders of a majority of the common shares entitled to vote, upon the recommendation of the board of directors and the president, and may, subject to further reserves required by the Banks by-laws, be distributed as a dividend. |
In accordance with the Banks by-laws, the general shareholders meeting may also allocate a portion of the profits to welfare, education or civic services, or to support economic organizations of the Banks employees.
The following table sets forth the annual cash dividends paid on each common share and each preferred share during the periods indicated:

S-28
Common Shares
Under Colombian law, the dividends payable to the holders of common shares cannot exceed the dividends payable to holders of preferred shares. All common shares that are fully paid-in and outstanding at the time a dividend or other distribution is declared are entitled to share equally in that dividend or other distribution. Common shares that are only partially paid-in participate in a dividend or distribution in the same proportion as such common shares have been paid-in at the time of the dividend or distribution.
Preferred Shares
Holders of preferred shares are entitled to receive dividends based on the profits of the preceding fiscal year, after deducting losses affecting the capital and once the amount that shall be legally set apart for the legal reserve has been deducted, but before creating or accruing for any other reserve, of a minimum preferred dividend equal to one percent (1%) yearly of the subscription price of the preferred share, provided this dividend is higher than the dividend assigned to common shares,;if this is not the case, the dividend shall be increased to an amount that is equal to the per share dividend on the common shares.
Payment of the preferred dividend shall be made at the time and in the manner established by the general shareholders meeting and in the priority indicated by Colombian law.
In the event that the holders of preferred shares have not received the minimum dividend for a period in excess of two consecutive fiscal years, they will acquire voting rights until the corresponding accrued dividends have been fully paid to them. See Description of the Preferred SharesVoting Rights in the accompanying prospectus.
General Aspects Involving Dividends
The dividend periods may be different from the periods covered by the general balance sheet. The general shareholders meeting will determine such dividend periods, the effective date, the system and the place for payment of dividends.
Dividends declared on the common shares and the preferred shares will be payable to the record holders of those shares, as they appear on the Banks stock registry, on the appropriate record dates as determined by the general shareholders meeting.
Any stock dividend payable by the Bank will be paid in common shares to the holders of common shares and in preferred shares to the holders of preferred shares. Nonetheless, a general shareholders meeting may authorize the payment in common shares to all shareholders. Any stock dividend payable in common shares requires the approval of 80% or more of the shares present at a shareholders meeting, which will include 80% or more of the outstanding preferred shares. In the event that none of the holders of preferred shares is present at such meeting, a stock dividend may only be paid to the holders of common shares that approve such a payment.
For information regarding dividend distribution to holders of ADSs, see Description of American Depositary ReceiptsDividends, Other Distributions and Rights in the accompanying prospectus.

Changes in net interest income and expenses volume and rate analysis
The following table allocates, by currency of denomination, changes in the Banks net interest income to changes in average volume, changes in nominal rates and the net variance caused by changes in both average volume and nominal rate for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009; the fiscal year ended December 31,
S-33
2009 compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. Volume and rate variances have been calculated based on movements in average balances over the period and changes in nominal interest rates on average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities. Net changes attributable to changes in both volume and interest rate have been allocated to the change due to changes in volume.

Pursuant to Colombias Constitution, the Colombian national legislature has the power to prescribe the general legal framework within which the government may regulate the financial system. The agencies vested with the authority to regulate the financial system are the Board of Directors of the Central Bank, the Ministry of Finance, the SFC, the Superintendency of Industry and Commerce (the SIC) and the Self-Regulatory Organization (Autoregulador del Mercado de Valores) (the SRO).
Central Bank
The Central Bank exercises the customary functions of a central bank, including price stabilization, monetary policy, regulation of currency circulation, regulation of credit, exchange rate monitoring and management of international reserves. Its board of directors is the regulatory authority for monetary, currency exchange and credit policies, and is responsible for the direction of the Central Banks duties. The Central Bank also acts as lender of last resort to financial institutions.
Ministry of Finance and Public Credit
One of the functions of the Ministry of Finance is to regulate all aspects of finance and insurance activities.
