City of Buenos Aires, June 16th 2022.

 

To:

Comisión Nacional de Valores (Argentine Securities Exchange Commission)

 

Re. Relevant Event

 

 

Please be advised that on the date hereof notice was served on BANCO MACRO S.A. informing the latter the filing of a joint action entitled “ADACU Asociación Civil vs. Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. et al for Damages" (Court File No. 11493/2019).

 

Plaintiff argues that Prisma Medios de Pagos S.A., together with the 14 joint defendant banks -at that time shareholders of the above mentioned Company (Banco Macro S.A. being one of such shareholders)-, would have committed collusion to establish an overprice on the Discount and Exchange Rates applicable to the use of Visa Credit Cards, which would have been transferred by the Stores to the prices of goods and services offered by them and, consequently, borne by consumers.

 

Plaintiff claims the reimbursement for consumers allegedly affected of 1.025% (equivalent to 0.85% overprice plaintiff claims the defendants would have established, plus 0.1785% of Value Added Tax applicable thereon) of all transactions made with VISA Credit Cards issued by the defendant Banks as of the time each of them became a shareholder of Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. and up to April 1st 2017 (date on which plaintiff argues the above described behavior ceased), plus interest.

 

The action is pending before the Court of First Instance in Civil and Commercial Matters No. 4, Clerks’ Office No. 7 of the Federal Capital City.

 

Banco Macro S.A. considers it is not likely to get an unfavorable decision in this controversy, and even if it gets one, such decision shall not have a material impact on its assets.

 

Sincerely,
