Re: Relevant Event – Financial Information Unit (FIU)
Dear Sirs,
Please be advised that Banco Macro S.A. and its Compliance Officers were given notice on the date hereof of a resolution issued on file No. 62/2009 of the FIU, pursuant to which all of them as a whole have been imposed a fine of AR$ 1,435,442, based on the provisions set forth in section 24, subsections 1 and 2 of Law 25246 (failure to comply with any disclosure obligation).
The operation with Banco Macro, which the FIU deems should have been disclosed, consisted of exchange buy transactions carried out by one and the same securities investor during the years 2006 and 2007, the most significant of such buy transaction being for US $6,089.
Finally, please be advised that Banco Macro S.A. filed an answer to such notice basing its defense on the due diligence proceedings it applied to the case and that it shall, therefore, file an appeal against such resolution in the appropriate time.
Sincerely,
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereto duly authorized.
