BANCO SANTANDER CHILE 6-K filed 2026-09-10

Banco Santander Chile filed a Form 6-K on 2026-09-10, the report form a foreign issuer uses to furnish information to the SEC under Rule 13a-16 or 15d-16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The cover page marks the report as being for the month of September, 2026, gives Commission File Number 001-14554, lists the principal executive office at Bandera 140, 20th floor, Santiago, Chile, and indicates that the registrant files annual reports on Form 20-F. It was signed by Cristian Florence, General Counsel, and dated September 10, 2026. The bank trades as BSAC on the NYSE, is classified under SIC 6029, Commercial Banks, NEC, and is a Large accelerated filer. EDGAR also records a former name for the registrant, BANK SANTIAGO. The substance is a single exhibit, 99.1, described as Banco Santander Chile Material Fact. The excerpt shows that exhibit to be a letter dated Santiago, September 10, 2026, addressed to Mrs. Catherine Tornel León, President of the Financial Markets Commission, and signed by Andrés Trautmann Buc, CEO. It states that as of that day the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Banco Santander-Chile received a letter from alternate director Mr. Alfonso Gómez Morales tendering his resignation with immediate effect for personal reasons. For an analyst or journalist, this is a governance disclosure rather than a financial one. The filing carries no figures, no financial statements and no earnings or capital information in the excerpt available. What it does establish is a dated, official record of a board departure: an alternate director seat, effective immediately, with personal reasons given as the explanation. Because the bank routed the disclosure both to the Chilean regulator and to the SEC on the same day, the timing of the resignation and the identification of the departing director can be treated as firm points for a governance timeline. Several things a reader would ask about are not in the filing. There is no detail beyond "personal reasons," no statement about a replacement or whether the alternate seat will be filled, no description of the remaining board composition, no mention of committee roles the director held, and no indication of how long he had served. The full text of exhibit 99.1 beyond what the excerpt contains is also not included here, so the source index should be opened for the complete document.
