Changes in Risk Ratings of Negotiable Securities and Stock

Dear Sirs,

I hereby address you on behalf of Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte S.A. (EDENOR) (“Edenor S.A.” or the “Company”) in compliance of the applicable regulation, in order to inform that on July 7^th 2020 S&P Global Ratings downgraded Edenor’s rating at Argentina’s National Scale from “raBB-” to “raB; and at the global scale from “CCC+” to “CCC”. According to S&P Global Ratings ‘report, the downgrade is mainly caused by the extension of the tariff freeze and the lack of a formal off-set mechanism different from the provisions of the Integral Tariff Review, to the increased restrictions to access the foreign exchange market and to a depressed and volatile macroeconomic context. 

Yours faithfully.

                                                                           Carlos D. Ariosa

                                                                          Attorney-in-fact
