Re: Material Event
To whom it may concern,
We are writing to inform you that our main subsidiary, Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. (Banco Galicia), has been notified that a local association for the defense of consumers has filed a class action lawsuit against it.
The action questions the electronic delivery of certain documentation to customers and the alleged application of charges for the physical delivery of certain documentation.
Banco Galicia is analyzing the content and implications of the demand. It is believed that an unfavorable resolution of the dispute will not have a significant impact on Banco Galicias shareholders equity.
Yours faithfully,
A. Enrique Pedemonte
Attorney in fact
Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.
