Therefore, Shareholders who do not wish to exercise the US Dollar Payment Option should not make any kind of notification or take any action.

Shareholders who hold their shares through a depositor (Bank, Agent or Broker), shall notify their decision to exercise the US Dollar Payment Option to that entity which shall communicate this decision to Caja de Valores S.A. during the US Dollar Payment Option and according to the procedures established by Caja de Valores S.A. for such purposes.

American Depositary Shares (ADSs) holders will receive their payment through the Depositary Bank, Citibank N.A. in US Dollars, as from the date set forth by the respective rules that apply in the jurisdiction where the Company’s ADSs are listed.

The shareholdings of the Shareholders registered at the close of business on the trading day immediately preceding the Payment Date (the “Record Date”) will be the only ones considered for the purposes of payment of the dividend. The exercise of the US Dollar Payment Option by any person who is not a holder of the Company’s shares on the Record Date shall be deemed not exercised and without effect.

Dividends to be paid will be subject to the withholding of the amounts paid by the Company in its capacity as Substitute Person Responsible for the Argentine Personal Assets Tax for fiscal year 2021, in the case of those shareholders that are subject to said tax, pursuant to the terms of the last paragraph of the section incorporated by Argentine Law No. 26,452 after section 25 of Argentine Law No. 23,996.
