This fund will be constituted with part of the resources collected based on Law No. 5515 of April 19, 1974, which can legally be allocated for the benefit of banana producers and are currently managed and administered by CORBANA, as well as with its own funds.
For these purposes, CORBANA will dispose of the remnants of the Rehabilitation Fund of the Rehabilitation and Rescue Program for National Producers, regulated by Decrees No. 30671-H-MAG of August 22, 2002, Article 5, No. 30841-H-MAG effective as of January 1, 2003, and No. 31029-H-MAG of January 7, 2003, Article 35. From these remnants, CORBANA will also reimburse itself the sum of US$1,006,000.00 (one million six thousand dollars of the United States of America) that it provided to cover the operational expenses for the start-up of the execution of said Program, which has been under its execution.
For its part, in order for this fund to be formed, CORBANA must contribute an amount of no less than US$2,300,000.00 (two million three hundred thousand dollars of the United States of America).
