Deposit Insurance System

In 1995, Law No.24,485 and Decree No.540/95, as amended, created a mandatory deposit insurance system for bank deposits and delegated to the BCRA the organization and start-up of the deposit insurance system. The deposit insurance system was implemented through the creation of a fund named Fondo de Garantía de los Depósitos (“FGD”), which is administered by Seguros de Depósitos S.A. (“Sedesa”). The shareholders of Sedesa are the Argentine government, through the BCRA, which holds at least one share, and a trust constituted by the financial institutions which participate in the fund. The BCRA establishes the extent of participation by each institution in proportion to the resources contributed by each such institution to the FGD. Banks must contribute to the FGD on a monthly basis in an amount that is currently equal to 0.015% of the monthly average of daily balances of such institution’s deposits (both Peso- and foreign currency-denominated).

In addition, when the contributions to the FGD reach the greater of Ps.2 billion or 5.0% of total deposits, the Central Bank may suspend or reduce the monthly contributions and reinstate the same when contributions fall below such required level.
The deposit insurance system covers all Peso and foreign currency deposits held in demand deposit accounts, savings accounts, and time deposits for an amount up to Ps.1,500,000 per person, account, and deposit. Certain deposits are not covered by the guarantee of the deposit insurance system, such as deposits received at rates higher than the reference rate in accordance with the limits established by the BCRA, deposits acquired by endorsement, and those made by persons related to the financial institution (as defined by BCRA regulations).

The guarantee provided by the deposit insurance system must be made effective within 30 days from the revocation of the license of a financial institution, subject to the outcome of the exercise by depositors of their priority rights described under “—Priority Rights of Depositors” below. The BCRA may modify, at any time, and with general scope, the amount of the mandatory deposit guarantee insurance.

Decree No.1292/96 enhanced Sedesa’s functions by allowing it to provide equity capital or make loans to Argentine financial institutions experiencing difficulties and to institutions that buy such financial institutions or their deposits. As a result of such decree, Sedesa has the flexibility to intervene in the restructuring of a financial institution experiencing difficulties prior to bankruptcy.

Debt securities issued by banks are not covered by the deposit insurance system.

Based on the above facts and circumstances, the proposed narrative disclosure for future filings is as follows:
The following table shows the deposits which are not guaranteed by the Fondo de Garantia de los Depósitos ("FGD"). For the definition of uninsured deposits as required by Item 1406(e) of Regulation S-K, see Item 4. Information on the Company - B. Business Overview - B6. Argentine Banking Regulation - xii) Deposit Insurance System.
