|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Confidential enquiry | The line, the holding and the objective, shared through a secure channel. | Day one |
| 02 | Pricing the block | The line is sized and a price set against it; any discount reflects size and liquidity. | 1–2 days |
| 03 | Execution & print | Worked off the order book or negotiated, then printed under the exchange’s block-trade rules. | On the day |
| 04 | Settlement & disclosure | Settles on the standard cycle; any substantial-holding disclosure is sequenced around the print. | T+1 / T+2 |
Chile equity markets.
A Chilean block trade moves a large line of Santiago-listed stock in a single negotiated transaction — away from the order book, at an agreed price — so a holder can exit, or an acquirer build a position, without walking the screen. Black Haven can take the line onto its own book, giving the seller a clean, priced exit while the disclosure that follows a substantial transfer, and any tender-offer implication where control shifts, is managed around the print.
What governs a Chilean block is the change-of-control regime as much as the size. Crossing 10% of a company, or acquiring control, is reportable to the CMF, and a transfer that hands over control can trigger the mandatory tender-offer (OPA) rules under the Securities Market Law — so a block that approaches those levels is structured deliberately. Against daily turnover, a meaningful line is best moved off the book: much of the register sits with buy-and-hold AFP pension funds, so screen liquidity understates the true depth. Settlement runs T+2.

What Is a Block Trade, and How Does One Work?
A block trade is the off-market sale of a large line of listed shares at a negotiated price, executed bilaterally and printed under exchange rules to avoid moving the open market.

A large block is sold without moving the price by taking it off the open order book — negotiating off-market at an agreed price, often with a liquidity provider taking the risk, and printing under exchange block rules.

Often yes. Once a significant shareholder crosses a market’s substantial-holding threshold, a block sale is generally notifiable to the regulator within a set window, with thresholds varying by jurisdiction.
