the time of issuance, to be offered by public subscription in Argentina or abroad. Determination of the parameters within which the Board of Directors will establish the issue premium. Use of proceeds.

 

It was approved by a majority vote: (i) a capital increase by public subscription up to the amount of AR$ 145,000,000 in one or more times as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate, by issuing up to 145,000,000 new Class B common shares with a right to 1 vote per share and a face value of AR$ 1 each, with the right to receive dividends or any other right as from the date of issue and on equal terms than the rest of the Class B shares that are in circulation in that moment. The proposed capital increase represents an increase of up to 39% of the capital stock approved by the shareholders’ meeting held on April 27, 2017 (i.e. including in the calculation the subscription and issue of all outstanding shares) and an increase of up to 39.86% on the capital stock prior to the increase represented by the shares pending of issuance (i.e. excluding of the calculation the subscription and issuance of shares pending to be issued); (ii) authorize the Board of Directors to approve an additional capital increase by up to a 15% of the number of previously authorized shares, with said increase being represented by new additional Class B shares, in case the number of 145,000,000 new shares is not sufficient to meet any excess of demand or the option for over-subscription of shares, expressly stating that the new shareholders will not have pre-emptive and accretion rights in respect of the additional shares to be issued as a result of the exercise of the over-subscription option; (iii) the new Class B shares to be issued as a result of the capital increase will be publicly offered in the Republic of Argentina, in accordance with the applicable regulations, and in other countries, according to what the Board of Directors may determine, and will be listed for negotiation in the local equity markets in which the Class B shares currently in circulation are listed and / or in any other overseas market, including the New York Stock Exchange; (iv) the new Class B shares resulting from the increase to be approved in this item of the Agenda (including, if applicable, the Class B shares resulting from the additional increase that may be approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions of (ii) above) shall be issued with a share premium on its face value, being the Board of Directors authorized (which may in turn sub-delegate such capacity in the Company’s officers it may designate) to determine the final subscription price of the new Class B shares (and consequently, the applicable issue premium) between a minimum of 90% and a maximum of 110% of the average of the trading prices, weighted by the traded volume, of the American Depositary Receipts of the Company registered in the New York Stock Exchange during the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date on which the definitive subscription price is to be determined by dividing by 5 the resulting price into US Dollars with the aim of obtaining the price in US Dollars for each Class B share and converting the resulting amount into Argentine Pesos by applying the reference exchange rate reported by the Central Bank of Argentina as of the date of the fixing of the price or as of the date determined by the Board of Directors, in case the integration of the new shares is admitted to be done in such currency, also authorizing the Board, if necessary, to set an indicative price range and / or an indicative reference price, which may be non-binding; (v) the net proceeds from the placement of the new shares will be used for general corporate purposes aimed at expanding the Company’s business and strengthening its position within the Argentine financial system, delegating into the Company’s Board of Directors (which may in turn sub-delegate such capacity in the Company’s officers it may timely designate) the capacity

 
 

to determine the specific allocation to be given to such funds, which may include, without limitation, an increase in the volume of loans and assets of its subsidiaries, the selective opening of new subsidiaries’ branches, the use of growth opportunities through strategic acquisitions, among others. The representative of the holder of all Class A shares gave express agreement to the alteration of the proportionality existing between Class A and Class B of the ordinary shares as a result of the capital increase that will be represented exclusively with Class B shares.

Publications of law will be made and the shareholders will be able to exercise their pre-emptive subscription rights in the corresponding proportion as timely set by the Board of Directors. Likewise, they may exercise their accretion right on new shares not subscribed by other shareholders in exercise of their pre-emptive rights, at the same moment of exercising the pre-emptive right and in the same proportion of the new shares subscribed in exercise of their pre-emptive subscription rights.
