1. Returns
Yes. Each Contracting Party shall permit all transfers related to an investment to be made freely and without delay into and out of its territory. Such transfers include: a) returns; b) compensation pursuant to Article III; c) payments arising out of an investment dispute; d) payments made under a contract, including amortization of principal and accrued interest payments made pursuant to a loan agreement; e) proceeds from the sale or liquidation of all or any part of an investment; and f) additional contributions to capital for the maintenance or development of an investment. The Parties note that Ecuador may establish a debt-equity conversion program under which nationals or companies of the United States may choose to invest in Ecuador through the purchase of debt at a discount. The Parties agree the rights provided in Article IV (1), with respect to the transfer of returns and of proceeds from the sale or liquidation of all or any part of an investment, may, as such rights would apply to that part of an investment financed through a debt-equity conversion, be modified by the terms of a debt-equity conversion agreement between a national or company of the United States and Ecuador or any agency or instrumentality thereof. The transfer of returns and/or proceeds from the sale or liquidation of all or any part of an investment shall in no case be on terms less favorable than those accorded, in like circumstances, to nationals or companies of Ecuador or any third country, whichever is more favorable. (Paragraph 1 of the Protocol).
