MOODYS INVESTORS SERVICE TAKES RATING ACTIONS ON
BANCOLOMBIA AND ITS DEBT
Medellín, Colombia, June 13, 2007
Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys) took the following rating actions on Bancolombia S.A.
(Bancolombia) and its debt:
The following ratings were downgraded:
Bank Financial Strength Rating: Downgrade to D from D+
Long-term Global Local-Currency Deposits: Downgrade to Baa2 from Baa1
Short-term Global Local-Currency Deposits: Downgrade to Prime-3 from Prime-2
Foreign Currency Subordinated Debt: Downgrade to Ba1 from Baa3
The following ratings remain the same:
Long-term Foreign Currency Deposits: Ba3
Short-term Foreign Currency Deposits: Not Prime
All these ratings have stable outlooks
The rating actions reflect Moodys assessment of the financial impact on Bancolombias capital
structure from its leveraged acquisition of Banco Agricola of El Salvador. According to Moodys,
the financing of the acquisition, including adjustments for goodwill, recent debt financings and
Bancolombias upcoming equity issue, will result in lower Tier 1 capital ratios than the ones that
Bancolombia has maintained historically, as well as being lower than the Tier 1 ratios of other
banks rated D+.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly
caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
