EXPLANATORY NOTE

Loma Negra Compañía Industrial Argentina Sociedad Anónima is filing this Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (Registration No. 333-220347) (the “Registration Statement”) for the sole purpose of filing Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). This Amendment No. 3 consists only of the facing page, this explanatory note, Part II of the Registration Statement, including the signature pages and the Exhibit Index, and the Exhibit filed herewith. No change is made to the preliminary prospectus constituting Part I of Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement filed with the Commission on October 12, 2017, and accordingly, such preliminary prospectus has not been included herein.

PART II

Information Not Required in Prospectus

Item 6. Indemnification of Office Holders (Including Directors).

Neither the laws of Argentina nor our bylaws or other constitutive documents provide for indemnification of our directors or officers. Our officers’ activities are regulated by Argentine labor law. We maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering our directors and executive officers with respect to general civil liability, which he or she may incur in his or her capacity as such.

The form of Underwriting Agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement will also provide for indemnification of us and our officers and directors for certain liabilities.

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

In the three years ended December 31, 2016, the registrant has not sold or granted ordinary shares to third parties or any of its affiliates. No ordinary shares were publicly offered and all sales were made by us directly to the investors.

Item 8. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

(a) The Exhibit Index is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Financial Statement Schedules.

All schedules have been omitted because they are not required, are not applicable or the information is otherwise set forth in our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto.

Item 9. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 of this registration statement, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the registrant by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby also undertakes that:

1. For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement at the time it was declared effective.

II-1

2. For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

3. For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

4. For the purposes of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

a. any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

b. any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

c. the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

d. any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
