Pablo D. Martínez Burkett
Administración Nacional de la Seguridad Social (A.N.Se.S)
Dear Mr. Martínez Burkett,
We write to you in connection with your request of information regarding the general and special shareholders’ meeting of Banco Macro S.A. to be held on April 16th 2012 and in that regard please be advised as follows:
1. Existing motion as to the application of the income of the fiscal year, particularly, in connection with what we expressed in the Annual Report as to that “the Board of Directors shall propose the Shareholders’ Meeting that the earnings of the fiscal year be applied to the creation of optional reserves”.: how does Banco Macro S.A. expects to apply such reserves.
The optional reserve that the Board shall propose to the shareholders’ meeting to create shall be for future distributions of earnings under Communication “A” 5273 of the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina, as published in the Financial Information Highway.
2. Motion regarding the directors’ remuneration.
The proposal regarding the remuneration of the directors was made public in due time and manner according to law by posting it on the Financial Information Highway, as provided for in chapter III, section 3 of the Rules of the Argentine Securities Exchange Commission or CNV.
Such remuneration does not exceed the limit established in section 261 of Law 19550 and section 1 and subsequent sections of chapter III of the Rules of the Argentine Securities Exchange Commission.
3. Motion regarding the remuneration for the members of the audit committee.
The Board shall propose to ratify the payments already made to the members of the audit committee during the year 2011 for an aggregate amount of AR $ 1,035,575.
4. Motion regarding the certifying accountant’s fees.
The proposal regarding the certifying accountant’s fees shall be disclosed to the shareholders’ meeting and shall be consistent with that approved by such meeting in previous years.
5. Number of alternate directors proposed to be designated.
The Board shall propose to designate five alternate directors.
6. Audit Committee Budget established by the Board for the fiscal year 2011 and estimated budget to be approved for the year 2012.
The Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 26th 2011 resolved to delegate to the Board the determination of the budget for the audit committee. Just as the previous year, the Board shall propose the Shareholders’ Meeting to approve such delegation, establishing the same amount paid during the last five years, which amounts to AR $600,000.
7. Whether the amount of AR $14,074,628.45, which the Board expects to apply to “tax on corporate personal assets and participating interests” means the entity will bear the personal asset tax for the fiscal year 2011 of the shareholders subject to such tax.
The amount of AR $14,074,628.45 corresponds to the amount paid as tax on corporate personal assets and participating interests by the Bank as substitute taxpayer during the year 2011. The shareholders’ meeting shall decide how to treat the same.
Sincerely,
SIGNATURE
