LUXEMBOURG OFFERING MEMORANDUM

U.S.$500,000,000

Banco de Bogotá S.A.
(Incorporated in the Republic of Colombia)
6.250% Subordinated Notes due 2026

We are offering U.S.$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 6.250% subordinated notes due 2026 (the "new notes"). The new
notes are being offered as additional notes under the indenture governing our 6.250% subordinated notes due 2026 that were issued on May 12,
2016 (the "existing notes," and, together with the new notes, the "notes"), pursuant to which we issued U.S.$600,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of the existing notes. The new notes offered hereby will be fungible with and vote together with the existing notes as a single class
under the indenture and will have the same terms as those of the existing notes, except that any new notes issued pursuant to Regulation S will
trade separately under temporary CUSIP and ISIN numbers until at least the expiration of a 40-day restricted period under Regulation S, or
"Regulation S," under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the "Securities Act". The 40-day restricted period will expire on
December 14, 2016. The new notes issued pursuant to Rule 144A initially traded under temporary CUSIP and ISIN numbers until the Trustee
and DTC transitioned the new notes to the CUSIP and ISIN numbers applicable to the existing Rule 144A notes following the first interest
payment date.
After giving effect to the consummation of this offering, an aggregate of U.S.$1,100,000,000 of notes will be outstanding. The notes will
mature on May 12, 2026. The new notes will accrue interest from May 12, 2016, on the outstanding principal amount of new notes issued, at a
rate of 6.250% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 12 and November 12 of each year, commencing on November 12, 2016.
The new notes sold pursuant to Rule 144A have identical terms as the existing notes held in the Rule 144A global note, except as otherwise
provided herein. In order to facilitate the first interest payment, the new notes sold pursuant to Rule 144A initially had temporary CUSIP and
ISIN numbers until five days after the first interest payment date. On the fifth day following the first interest payment date, these new notes sold
pursuant to Rule 144A became fungible with and trade under the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers as the existing notes held in the Rule 144A
global note. The new notes sold pursuant to Regulation S will have identical terms as the existing notes held in the Regulation S global note,
except as otherwise provided herein. Until at least the 40th day following delivery of the new notes, new notes sold pursuant to Regulation S
will have temporary CUSIP and ISIN numbers. Thereafter such new notes will trade under the same CUSIP and ISIN numbers as the existing
notes held in the Regulation S global note.
The new notes will be our subordinated unsecured obligations, and will rank pari passu in right of payment with all of our existing and
future subordinated unsecured indebtedness, including the existing notes (other than certain liabilities preferred by statute or by operation of
law). The notes will not be guaranteed by our subsidiaries and will not be entitled to any sinking fund.
The existing notes have been admitted to listing on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for trading on the Euro MTF
Market. We intend to make an application to increase the principal amount of the notes on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
for trading on the Euro MTF market so as to include the principal amount of the new notes. The new notes will trade under separate CUSIP and
ISIN numbers for so long as temporary CUSIP and ISIN numbers are assigned to them. However, we cannot assure you that the listing
application will be approved. Currently, there is no market for the new notes.
Investing in the new notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 27 for a discussion of certain risks that you should
consider in connection with an investment in the new notes.

Issue price for the new notes: 102.155% plus accrued interest, from May 12, 2016.

Purchasers of the new notes will be required to pay accrued interest on the new notes equal to U.S.$29.86 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount
of the new notes purchased calculated at a rate of 6.250% per annum from May 12, 2016 through the issue date of the new notes, expected to be
on or about November 4, 2016. If the issue date of the new notes is after that date, purchasers will be required to pay the additional accrued
interest through the closing date.
The new notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. The new
notes are being offered or sold only to (1) qualified institutional buyers, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and (2) outside the
United States to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The new notes have been automatically registered
with the Colombian National Registry of Securities and Issuers (Registro Nacional de Valores y Emisores). Registration does not constitute an
opinion of the Colombian Superintendency of Finance (Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia) as to approval of the quality of the new
notes or our solvency. The new notes may not be publicly offered or sold in the Republic of Colombia, or "Colombia." This offering
memorandum constitutes a prospectus for purposes of Part IV of the Luxembourg law on prospectus securities dated July 10, 2005, as amended.
The delivery of the new notes was made to investors in book-entry form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, or
"DTC," for the accounts of its direct and indirect participants, including Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., or "Euroclear," and Clearstream Banking,
société anonyme, Luxembourg, or "Clearstream," on November 4, 2016.

any other regulatory authority has approved or disapproved the new notes or passed upon or endorsed the merits of

attorney and business advisor as to the legal, business, tax and related matters concerning this investment. Banco de
Bogotá and the initial purchasers are not acting as your advisors or agents. Prior to entering into any transaction, you
i

opinions relating to this offering. Reference is hereby made to the actual documents for complete information

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
We have included in Annex I hereto our offering memorandum dated May 19, 2016 relating to the initial
issuance on May 12, 2016 of our 6.250% Subordinated Notes due 2026, or the "Initial Notes Offering
Memorandum", which includes our audited consolidated financial statements (as defined below) and certain other
information relating to us as of the dates indicated therein. This offering memorandum updates, modifies and, where
applicable, supersedes the information contained in the Initial Notes Offering Memorandum. Any statement in the
Initial Notes Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this offering
memorandum to the extent that such statement conflicts with the information in this offering memorandum.
All references herein to "peso," "pesos" or "Ps" refer to the lawful currency of Colombia. All references to
"U.S. dollars," "dollars" or " U.S.$" are to United States dollars. See "Exchange Rates and Foreign Exchange
Controls" for information regarding exchange rates for the Colombian currency. Our financial currency is the
Colombian peso.
This offering memorandum translates certain Colombian peso amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely
for the convenience of the reader. The conversion of amounts expressed in Colombian pesos as of a specified date at
the then prevailing exchange rate may result in the presentation of U.S. dollar amounts that differ from U.S. dollar
amounts that would have been obtained by converting Colombian pesos as of another specified date. Unless
otherwise noted in this offering memorandum, all such peso amounts have been translated at the rate of Ps 2,919.01
per U.S.$1.00, which was the representative market rate calculated on June 30, 2016. The representative market rate
is computed and certified by the Superintendency of Finance 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. Such conversion should not be construed as a representation that the peso
amounts presented herein correspond to, or have been or could be translated into, U.S. dollars at that rate or any
other rate. On October 21, 2016, the representative market rate was Ps 2,915.67 per U.S.$1.00.
Financial statements
Banco de Bogotá and its Colombian financial subsidiaries, including Porvenir, are entities under the direct
comprehensive supervision of, and subject to inspection and surveillance as financial institutions by, the
Superintendency of Finance. Banco de Bogotá is required to comply with capital adequacy regulations, and each of
its subsidiaries is separately required to comply with capital adequacy regulations applicable to banks and other
financial institutions. In addition, Banco de Bogotá is an issuer in Colombia of securities registered with the
National Registry of Shares and Issuers, and in this capacity, it is subject to oversight by the Superintendency of
Finance. Banco de Bogotá is required to comply with corporate governance and periodic reporting requirements to
which all Colombian issuers of securities are subject.
On June 21, 2016, Banco de Bogotá, Banco de Occidente, Banco Popular and Grupo Aval executed the
Corficolombiana shareholders' agreement, or the "Amended Corficolombiana Shareholders' Agreement," to provide
for Grupo Aval to directly control Corficolombiana. Prior to June 21, 2016, Banco de Bogotá, which held and
continues to hold a 38.3% equity interest in Corficolombiana, controlled Corficolombiana. As a result of the
Amended Corficolombiana Shareholders' Agreement, Corficolombiana's results ceased to be consolidated into our
financial statements effective June 21, 2016. Corficolombiana's results have been treated as a discontinued
operation in our income statements included herein for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and our investment in
Corficolombiana is accounted for as investment in associates and joint ventures in our statement of financial
position at June 30, 2016. The primary rationale for this transaction was to permit our management team to focus on
our core financial services business. Consequently, our results at and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016
and 2015 are not directly comparable to results for prior periods.
Financial information as of June 30, 2016 and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 has been
derived from our audited interim consolidated financial statements, included in this offering memorandum and
referred to as our "audited interim consolidated financial statements," which were prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or "IFRS."
Our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and as of January 1, 2014 and for each
of the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, or the "audited consolidated financial statements," have been
audited, as stated in the report appearing therein, by KPMG Ltda., and are included in the Initial Notes Offering
v



Memorandum and referred to as our "audited consolidated financial statements." We have prepared the audited
consolidated financial statements included herein in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or "IFRS." Our audited consolidated financial statements
are our first financial statements prepared under IFRS, and therefore the opening statement of financial position was
prepared as of January 1, 2014, the date of our transition to IFRS, as required by IFRS 1--"First Time Adoption of
International Financial Reporting Standards." The comparative figures at and for the year ended December 31, 2014
reflect adjustments and reclassifications made as a result of our adoption of IFRS. Our historical results are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for future periods.
Previously, our audited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the regulations of
the Superintendency of Finance applicable to financial institutions (Resolution 3600 of 1988 and External Circular
100 of 1995) and, on issues not addressed by these regulations, generally accepted accounting principles prescribed
by the Superintendency of Finance for banks operating in Colombia, consistently applied, together with such
regulations, on the issue date, which we refer to in this offering memorandum, collectively, as "Colombian Banking
GAAP." We have included certain information prepared under Colombian Banking GAAP at and for the years
ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 in Appendix A to the Initial Notes Offering Memorandum under "--
Selected 2013, 2012 and 2011 Financial and Statistical Data Prepared under Colombian Banking GAAP" to provide
information for prior years. Colombian Banking GAAP is not comparable to IFRS. We are also required to prepare
consolidated financial statements for publication in Colombia under International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted by the Superintendency of Finance in accordance with Decree 1851 of 2013 and 3023 of 2013 as modified
by Decree 2420 of 2015, which we refer to as "Colombian IFRS."
Since Colombian IFRS is based on IFRS as of December 31, 2013, certain rules subsequently issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board, or "IASB," are not applicable under Colombian IFRS. Therefore our
financial statements for local purposes differ from our financial statements under IFRS in the following principal
aspects:
Under Colombian regulations, the wealth tax, created by the Colombian Congress in 2014 and to be
paid by companies during 2015, 2016 and 2017, calculated based on the tax equity method, can be
recorded against equity reserves. However, under IFRS, according to IFRIC 21, wealth tax liabilities
must be recorded against the statement of income.
Under Colombian IFRS, allowances for loan losses are calculated based on specific rules of the
Financial and Accounting Basic Circular (Circular Básica Contable y Financiera) issued by the
Superintendency of Finance for the separate financial statements; and according to the criteria set forth
in IAS 39 for consolidated financial statements. Under Colombian IFRS, the difference between both
methodologies in the consolidated financial statements is recorded in other comprehensive income,
whereas under IFRS, allowances for loan losses are calculated according to the criteria set forth in
IAS 39 and recorded in profit or loss of each period.
Consolidated financial statements prepared under Colombian IFRS classify debt securities into one of
two categories: fair value through profit or loss or amortized cost. Entities with non-controlling or non-
significant influence in equity securities must elect to record fair value changes in other comprehensive
income, in accordance with the guidance set out in IFRS 9.
Non-IFRS financial measures
We have included in this offering memorandum non-IFRS measures such as return on average assets, or
"ROAA," and return on average equity, or "ROAE." These measures should not be construed as an alternative to
IFRS measures and should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, which
may evaluate such measures differently from how we do. For Non-IFRS measures to IFRS measures, see
"Summary--Summary financial and operating data--Non-IFRS measures."
In addition to the non-IFRS financial measures mentioned above, we have included non-IFRS financial
measures adjusted to reflect the effects from the loss of control of Corficolombiana, as further explained under the
sections entitled "Summary--Loss of control of Corficolombiana," "Summary--Recent developments" and
"Summary--Summary financial and operating data--Non-IFRS measures." These adjusted measures are presented
vi



to illustrate the effects of the non-recurring gain from the loss of control of Corficolombiana and its impact on our
financial performance.
Market share and other information
We obtained the market and competitive position data, including market forecasts, presented throughout this
offering memorandum from market research, publicly available information and industry publications. We have
presented this data on the basis of information from third-party sources that we believe are reliable, including,
among others, the International Monetary Fund, or "IMF," the Superintendency of Finance, the Colombian Stock
Exchange, the Colombian National Bureau of Statistics (Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística), or
"DANE," and the World Bank. Industry and government publications, including those referenced herein, generally
state that the information presented has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and
completeness of such information is not guaranteed. Unless otherwise indicated, gross domestic product, or "GDP,"
figures with respect to Colombia in this offering memorandum are based on the 2005 base year data series published
by DANE. Although we have no reason to believe that any of this information or these reports is inaccurate in any
material respect, we have not independently verified the competitive position, market share, market size, market
growth or other data provided by third parties or by industry or other publications. Neither we nor the initial
purchasers make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of such information.
Our statement of financial position and statement of income for periods commencing on January 1, 2014, reflect
IFRS information, while comparative disclosures of our financial and operating performance against that of our
competitors are based on unconsolidated information prepared on the basis of Colombian IFRS reported to the
Superintendency of Finance. Except where otherwise indicated, financial and market share data pertaining to BAC
Credomatic has been prepared in accordance with IFRS. All information that is marked unconsolidated basis under
Colombian IFRS for the Bank and its subsidiaries has been prepared under Colombian IFRS to make it comparable
to the publicly available information related to our competitors filed with the Superintendency of Finance. This
unconsolidated information does not account for our businesses or those of our competitors that are operated
through subsidiaries, including our Central American operations.
Banks, financing companies and finance corporations are deemed credit institutions by the Superintendency of
Finance and are the principal institutions authorized to accept deposits and make loans in Colombia. Banks
undertake traditional deposit-taking and lending activities. Financing companies place funds in circulation by means
of active credit operations, with the purpose of fostering the sale of goods and services, including the development
of leasing operations. Finance corporations invest directly in the economy and thus are the only credit institutions
that may invest in non-financial sectors. Banks are permitted to invest in finance corporations. We are a bank and
own a 38.3% equity interest in Grupo Aval's finance corporation, Corficolombiana. Our market share is determined
by comparing the Bank to other banks that report their results to the Superintendency of Finance. However, if
financing companies and finance corporations are included in the calculation of market share data, our market shares
would generally be lower than in a bank-only comparison, and the gaps between our market shares and those of our
competitors would be smaller, but our market leadership in most market categories would be unaffected.
We consider our principal competitors in Colombia to be Bancolombia S.A., or "Bancolombia," Banco
Davivienda S.A., or "Davivienda," and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Colombia S.A., or "BBVA Colombia,"
which are the three leading banking groups in Colombia after Grupo Aval.
We also compete, to a lesser extent, with Grupo Aval's other bank subsidiaries: Banco de Occidente S.A. or
"Banco de Occidente," Banco Popular S.A., or "Banco Popular," and Banco Comercial AV Villas S.A., or "Banco
AV Villas." The principal competitors of Porvenir, our pension and severance fund administrator, are
Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones y Cesantías Protección S.A., or "Protección," Colfondos S.A. Pensiones y
Cesantías, or "Colfondos," and Skandia Administradora de Fondos de Pensiones y Cesantías S.A., or "Skandia." We
have included in this offering memorandum competitive market position data for Porvenir as compared to its
principal competitors. Corficolombiana, Grupo Aval's merchant bank in which we own a 38.3% equity interest, is a
financial corporation, and its competitors include Banca de Inversión Bancolombia S.A., J.P. Morgan Corporación
Financiera S.A., BNP Paribas Colombia Corporación Financiera S.A. and Itaú BBA Colombia S.A. Corporación
Financiera.
Our principal competitors in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama include Banco
Industrial, Scotiabank, G&T Continental, and Bancolombia.
vii



We include certain ratios in this offering memorandum which we believe provide investors with important
information regarding our operations, such as return on average equity, or "ROAE," return on average assets, or
"ROAA," net interest margin, and operational efficiency and asset quality indicators, among others. Some of these
ratios are also used in this offering memorandum to compare us to our principal competitors.
Annualized ratios
We have calculated net interest margin, return on average assets, return on average shareholders' equity,
charge-offs to average outstanding loans and other financial ratios as of or for the six months in the period ended
June 30, 2016 by multiplying earnings for such six-month period by two. These annualized ratios are not
necessarily indicative of the ratios that will be achieved in full-year 2016.
Other conventions
Certain figures included in this offering memorandum have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly,
figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an arithmetic summation of the figures that precede them.
References to "billions" in this offering memorandum are to 1,000,000,000s and to "trillions" are to
1,000,000,000,000s.
"Non-controlling interest" refer to the participation of minority shareholders in Banco de Bogotá S.A. and our
subsidiaries, as applicable.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This offering memorandum contains estimates and forward-looking statements, principally in "Risk Factors,"
and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this offering
memorandum and in "Business" in the Initial Notes Offering Memorandum. Some of the matters discussed
concerning our operations and financial performance include estimates and forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
Our estimates and forward-looking statements are mainly based on our current expectations and estimates on
projections of future events and trends, which affect or may affect our businesses and results of operations. Although
we believe that these estimates and forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are
