Re. Relevant Event

 

Please be advised that on August 11th 2017, at 06:00 PM, BANCO MACRO S.A. was given notice of a class action entitled “RED ARGENTINA DE CONSUMIDORES vs. BANCO MACRO S.A. on class action under Act 24240” (Court file #21013255749).

 

Plaintiff filed summary proceedings seeking a court order directing Banco Macro S.A. to correct the interest rate formula applied to personal loans. In such complaint, Plaintiff specifically requests that (i) Banco Macro S.A. cease the reported conduct for future transactions, and also that all interest on personal loans granted applying the 365-fixed divisor interest rate be recalculated; (ii) customers be reimbursed the relevant amounts paid in excess due to the application of such 360-fixed divisor interest rate; and (iii) a civil fine representing three times the amount of damage caused to each customer be levied against defendant.

 

The summary action is pending before the Court of First Instance in Civil and Commercial Matters Nº 10 of Rosario.

 

Banco Macro S.A. deems there is low probability of getting an unfavorable court decision in this dispute, and even if that is the case, such unfavorable decision would not have a material impact on its assets.

 

Sincerely,
