SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED OCTOBER 20, 2021
 
 
IRSA INVERSIONES Y REPRESENTACIONES SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA
 
To the Shareholders and American Depositary Share Holders of IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.:
 
MERGER PROPOSED—YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT
 
Shareholders and American Depositary Share (“ADS”) holders of IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A. (“IRSA CP”) are cordially invited to attend the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting of IRSA CP scheduled for                , 20      , either in person at             or remotely through a virtual platform. At the extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings, you will be asked to adopt the decision to merge IRSA CP and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries into IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima (“IRSA” or, indistinctly, the “Company”, “we”, “us”), as contemplated by the preliminary merger agreement (compromiso previo de fusión) entered into by IRSA and IRSA CP as of September 30, 2021 (the “Preliminary Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which IRSA CP intends to merge into IRSA by way of absorption, with IRSA being the surviving company (the “Merger”). The surviving company will continue to be known as “IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima.”
  
Upon effectiveness of the Merger, each common share, with par value of ARS 100.00 per share and entitled to one vote per share, of IRSA CP (an “IRSA CP Share”) that IRSA CP shareholders (other than us) own (including those represented by ADSs (“IRSA CP ADSs” and, together with IRSA CP Shares, “IRSA CP Securities”)) at the effective time of the Merger will be converted into 152,158,215 common shares, with par value of ARS 1.00 per share and entitled to one vote per share, of IRSA (“IRSA Shares”), and each IRSA CP ADS that holders of IRSA CP ADSs own (other than IRSA CP ADSs owned by us) at the effective time of the Merger will be converted into 15,215,821 Global Depositary Shares, each representing ten IRSA Shares (“IRSA GDSs” and, together with IRSA Shares, “IRSA Securities”). Any IRSA CP Securities owned by us will not be exchanged for IRSA Securities and will be cancelled in connection with the consummation of the Merger. All IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs outstanding at the effective time of the Merger will remain outstanding following effectiveness of the Merger. Based on the number of IRSA CP Shares issued on the date hereof, IRSA expects to issue 152,158,215 IRSA Shares to IRSA CP shareholders in the Merger and expects a total of 890,834,675 IRSA Shares to be outstanding following the consummation of the Merger on a fully diluted basis. Under these circumstances, after the effective time of the Merger, former IRSA CP shareholders will hold on a fully diluted basis approximately 17.1% of the then-issued IRSA shares. The IRSA Shares and the IRSA CP Shares are listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A., or “ByMA”). The IRSA GDSs and the IRSA Shares underlying them are registered under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the IRSA GDSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “IRS.” The IRSA CP ADSs and the IRSA CP Shares underlying them are registered under the Exchange Act, and the IRSA CP ADSs are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “IRCP.”

The Merger cannot be effected unless each of IRSA CP and IRSA shareholders adopt the decision to merge as contemplated by the Preliminary Merger Agreement (among other conditions set forth in this prospectus), which requires in the case of each of IRSA and IRSA CP, the approval of at least a majority of the votes of the total issued and outstanding shares. Assuming that all conditions precedent are satisfied or waived (where legally permissible), IRSA and IRSA CP currently expect that the Merger will be consummated as promptly as possible following the shareholders’ meetings of IRSA and IRSA CP, but, if approved, will be retroactively effective for Argentine tax and operating purposes from July 1, 2021 (the “Merger Effectiveness Date”). As of the date of this prospectus, IRSA’s board of directors has not decided whether IRSA will vote the 432,545,580 IRSA CP Shares owned by IRSA, representing 79.92% of the total outstanding capital stock of IRSA CP at IRSA CP shareholders’ meeting.
  
The Board of Directors of IRSA CP has carefully reviewed and considered the terms and conditions of the Preliminary Merger Agreement. Based on their review, the Board of Directors of IRSA CP has determined that the Preliminary Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are in the best interests of IRSA CP’s shareholders. The Board of Directors of IRSA CP recommends that IRSA CP shareholders vote “FOR” the decision to merge as contemplated by the Preliminary Merger Agreement.
 
The accompanying disclosure documents (including the Preliminary Merger Agreement, included as Annex A to this prospectus) contain detailed information about the Merger and the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting of IRSA CP. This document is also a prospectus for the IRSA Shares that will be issued in the Merger. This is not a proxy statement. We are not asking you for a proxy and you are requested not to send us a proxy. If you are a holder of IRSA GDSs or IRSA CP ADSs, you will be contacted by the depositary for your ADSs with further instructions on how you can instruct such depositary to vote the shares underlying your ADSs. We encourage IRSA CP shareholders to read this prospectus carefully before voting, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 39. Any holder of IRSA GDSs who does not give their voting instructions to The Bank of New York Mellon (or its successor), as the IRSA GDS depositary (the “IRSA GDS Depositary”), may have their shares underlying their IRSA GDSs voted in favor of the Merger, subject to the conditions of the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement dated as of May 24, 1994, as amended on November 15, 2000 (the “IRSA Deposit Agreement”), among IRSA, the IRSA GDS Depositary and owners and beneficial owners from time to time of IRSA GDSs issued thereunder.
 
Your vote is very important. You are encouraged to vote.
 
By the order of the Board of Directors of IRSA CP,
 
By:
/s/ Eduardo S. Elsztain

Eduardo S. Elsztain

Chairman of the Board of Directors
 
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued under this prospectus or determined if this prospectus is accurate or adequate. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. IRSA Shares to be issued as a result of the Merger may not be sold unless and until (i) the Argentine Merger prospectus is approved by the Argentine National Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores, or the “CNV”), (ii) the shareholders of IRSA and IRSA CP approve the Merger at their respective shareholders’ meetings, (iii) the definitive merger agreement and the dissolution of IRSA CP is registered with the Public Registry of Commerce (as defined below) and (iv) the deposit of the newly issued IRSA Shares on each of the corresponding accounts. The Argentine Merger prospectus is in a different format than this prospectus in accordance with CNV regulations but contains substantially the same information included in this prospectus.

  CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. Certain information included in this prospectus contains information that is forward-looking, including, but not limited to:
 
our expectations for our and IRSA CP’s future performance, revenues, income, earnings per share, dividends, liquidity and capital structure;
 
the synergies expected from the Merger;
 
the implementation of our and IRSA CP’s business strategy;
 
the effects of operating in a competitive environment;
 
industry conditions;
 
regulatory and legal developments; and
 
other factors identified or discussed under “Item 3. Key Information. Risk Factors” in the IRSA 2021 Form 20-F and under “Risk Factors” below.
 
This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to us and IRSA CP that are based on current expectations, estimates and projections of IRSA’s and IRSA CP’s management and information currently available to IRSA and IRSA CP. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements made in any reports on Form 6-K or annual reports on Form 20-F that may be incorporated in this prospectus by reference or a prospectus supplement. In the IRSA 2021 Form 20-F, these statements include, but are not limited to, statements made in “Item 3—Key Information—Risk Factors,” “Item 5—Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” under the captions “Critical Accounting Policies” and “Trend Information,” “Item 8—Financial Information—Legal Proceedings” and other statements about IRSA’s strategies, plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, capital expenditures and assumptions and other statements contained that are not historical facts. When used in this document, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “may” and “should” and other similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.
 
The statements contained in this prospectus and in any documents incorporated by reference reflect the current views of the management of IRSA and IRSA CP with respect to future events. They are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. In addition, certain forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate.
 
Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements of IRSA to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others:
 
the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and government measures to contain the virus;
 
our and IRSA CP’s ability to successfully implement our and IRSA CP’s business strategy;
 
the challenges in integrating the operations of IRSA CP and IRSA;
 
the possibility that the Merger does not close when expected or at all because of the required regulatory or other approvals are not received or other conditions to the closing are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all;
 
 
6
 
 
the integration of IRSA CP’s business and operations with those of IRSA may take longer than anticipated, may be more costly than anticipated and may have unanticipated adverse results relating to IRSA CP’s or IRSA’s existing business;
 
potential litigation relating to the Merger;
 
risks associated with the acquisition of properties;
 
uncertainties relating to political and economic conditions in Argentina;
 
inflation, the devaluation of the Argentine peso and exchange rate risks in Argentina;
 
restrictions on the ability to exchange Argentine pesos into foreign currencies and transfer funds abroad;
 
our inability to obtain additional financing;
 
the creditworthiness of IRSA and IRSA CP’s actual or potential customers;
 
nationalization, expropriation and/or increased government intervention in companies;
 
the impact of legal, corporate or regulatory matters, changes in the interpretation of current or future regulations or reform and changes in the legal or regulatory environment in which we and IRSA operate; and
 
the effects of increased competition.
 
Many of these factors are macroeconomic and regulatory in nature and therefore beyond the control of IRSA and IRSA CP’s management. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. We do not intend and do not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus.
 
These forward-looking statements are based upon a number of assumptions and other important factors that could cause our and IRSA CP’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from our and IRSA CP’s future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers are encouraged to consult any report on Form 6-K or the annual reports on Form 20-F of IRSA that may be incorporated in this prospectus by reference or a prospectus supplement.

Pursuant to Argentine law, we are required to pay cash dividends in Argentine pesos, and exchange rate fluctuations will affect the U.S. Dollar amounts received by holders of GDSs, on conversion by us or by the depositary of cash dividends on the shares represented by such ADSs. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Argentine peso and the U.S. Dollar will affect the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the Argentine peso price of our shares on the ByMA and, as a result, can also affect the market price of our GDSs.

EXCHANGE CONTROLS
 
On September 1, 2019, the Argentine government issued Decree No. 609/2019, pursuant to which foreign exchange controls were temporarily imposed until December 31, 2019. On January 3, 2020, the Argentine government issued Decree No. 91/2019, which permanently extended the foreign exchange controls that expired on December 31, 2019.
 
At present, foreign exchange regulations are included in the Consolidated Text on Foreign Trade and Exchange issued by Communication (Central Bank, also referred to as “BCRA”) “A” 6844, as supplemented.
 
The following is a brief summary of the exchange control regulations in force as of the date of this prospectus.
 
Exports of Goods
 
As a general rule, exporters of goods must repatriate, and settle in Argentine pesos through the foreign exchange market, the proceeds from exports cleared through customs after September 2, 2019 within different deadlines, depending on certain factors (nature of goods, relationship between exporter and importer, etc.). In certain cases (e.g. certificate of increase of exports against 2020, projects falling under the Investment Promotion Regime for Exports set out by the Executive Order 234/21, etc.) exporters have greater access to the foreign exchange market.
 
Sale of Non-Financial Assets
 
Proceeds in foreign currency from the sale of non-financial assets must be repatriated and settled in pesos in the foreign exchange market within five business days from the date of collection in Argentina or abroad, or the date of deposit of such amounts in foreign bank accounts.
 
Exports of Services
 
Exporters of services must repatriate, and settle in pesos through the foreign exchange market, the proceeds from their exports within five business days from the date of collection in Argentina or abroad, or the date of deposit of such amounts in foreign bank accounts.
 
Imports of Goods and Services
 
Except for certain exceptions current regulations provide for, importers of goods and/or services must obtain prior authorization from the Central Bank for the settlement of foreign currency-denominated debts in connection with the import of goods and services.
 
Foreign Assets
 
Prior authorization from the Central Bank is required for the acquisition of foreign assets (e.g., purchase of foreign currency, among others) and for derivative transactions by Argentine companies, Argentine local governments, Argentine mutual funds, trusts and other Argentine entities. Individuals must request authorization when the value of such assets exceed USD 200 (in the case of withdrawals from Argentine bank accounts) or USD 100 (in the case of cash purchases) in any calendar month.
 
 
12
 
 
External Financial Indebtedness
 
Borrowers must repatriate and settle in the foreign exchange market the proceeds from financial indebtedness incurred after September 1, 2019, as a condition for accessing the foreign exchange market to make debt service payments thereunder. Subject to compliance with requirements set forth in the regulations, access to the foreign exchange market will be granted for the repayment of principal or interest up to three business days in advance of the due date.
 
Communication “A” 7,030, and its amendments, establishes the prior agreement of the Central Bank, until December 31, 2021, for the cancellation of capital services of financial debts with creditors abroad, provided that the creditor is a related counterparty, with limited exceptions.
 
Additionally, Communication “A” 7,106 and its amendments established the requirement, for those who register scheduled capital maturities until December, 2021 with creditors that are not related counterparties, to submit to the Central Bank a detail of a refinancing plan complying with certain criteria established in the said Communication, with limited exceptions (e.g. proceeds from financial indebtedness incurred after January 1, 2020, that were repatriated and settled in the foreign exchange market). Specifically, the Central Bank will grant access to companies for an amount up to 40% of maturities and companies must refinance the rest for a term of at least 2 years. This, provided that the amount for which the exchange market would be accessed for the cancellation of principal exceeds the equivalent of USD 2,000,000 per calendar month, with some exceptions, expressly provided for by the regulation.
 
Indebtedness Between Residents
 
Prior authorization from the Central Bank is required for the payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations between Argentine residents after September 1, 2019, with limited exceptions. However, no prior authorization is required for the payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations to Argentine financial entities, including, among others, payments made in respect of credit cards.
 
Profits and Dividends
 
Prior authorization from the Central Bank is required for the transfer of profits and/or dividends outside of Argentina, unless certain requirements expressly provided for by current regulation are met.
 
Non-Residents
 
Non-residents must obtain prior authorization from the Central Bank to access the foreign exchange market to purchase foreign currency, with limited exceptions.
 
Reporting Regime
 
In all cases, access to the foreign exchange market for the payment of financial or commercial debts will be granted to the extent that such debts were disclosed in accordance with the Central Bank’s reporting regime established through Communication “A” 6,401, if applicable.
 
Outgoings
 
Outflow of funds
 
Consolidated Text on Foreign Trade and Exchange provides for prior approval of the Central Bank in order to carry out any outflow of funds, unless the clients submit several affidavits related to (i) foreign currency holdings and liquid external assets; (ii) own and controlling company’s securities transactions (blue chip swap, “dolar MEP”, etc.); and (iii) economic benefits granted by the State.

Through Communication “A” 7,001, as amended by Communication “A” 7,030, the Central Bank established certain restrictions to carry out sales of securities via the settlement of foreign currency and its transfer to depository institutions abroad. In this connection, in order to carry out any outflow of funds, the entity must:
 
(i) request the prior approval of the Central Bank; or
 
(ii) rely on an affidavit stating that the client did not carry out neither sales of securities via the settlement of foreign currency, nor its transfer to foreign depository entities on the day that access to the foreign exchange market was requested and within 90 days prior to such request, as well as that the customer undertakes not to carry out such transactions from the date access to the foreign exchange market is requested and for the subsequent 90 calendar days.
 
The Central Bank Communication “A” 7,030 also establishes the prior approval of the Central Bank to carry out any outflow of funds through the foreign exchange market from May 29, 2020 onwards, with some exceptions.
 
In addition, Communication “A” 7,030, as amended, established the prior approval of the Central Bank for certain outflow of funds through the foreign exchange market, unless the entity has an affidavit from the client stating that at the time of access to the foreign exchange market:
 
(a) All of its local foreign currency holdings are deposited in accounts in financial institutions and that it did not have liquid external assets available at the beginning of the day that access to the foreign exchange market is requested for a higher amount equivalent to USD 100,000 (with some exceptions, expressly provided for by the regulation).
 
(b) Undertakes to settle in pesos through the foreign exchange market, within five working days of its availability, those funds received abroad resulting from the collection of loans granted to third parties, the collection of a term deposit or the sale of any type of asset, when the asset has been acquired, the deposit constituted or the loan granted after May 28, 2020.
 
In addition to the above, by means of Communication “A” 7327, the Central Bank established that, as of July 12, 2021, in order for residents to be granted access to the foreign exchange market, it will be required (in addition to the preexisting conditions), that: (i) on the same day that such access is required and within the previous 90 days, such local resident has not exchanged securities for other foreign assets (in addition to the already existing requirement of not having sold securities with settlement in foreign currency or transferred them to depository institutions abroad during the same period); and (ii) for legal entities, to submit a sworn statement informing (a) a list of the persons or legal entities that directly control the client; and (b) that within the previous 90 days (or since July 12, 2021, in the event that 90 days have not yet elapsed since that date), the legal entity has not delivered in the country any funds in local currency or other liquid local assets to any of the aforementioned persons (except for those directly associated with usual transactions involving the acquisition of goods and/or services). Alternatively, the requirement set forth in (b) may be considered fulfilled if the legal entity submits a sworn statement executed by each of those persons exercising direct control stating that, during the same period, no sales of securities with settlement in foreign currency, or exchanges of securities for other external assets, or transfers thereof to depository institutions abroad, have been made.
 
On October 5, 2021, by means of General Resolution 907/21, a limit on the sale of securities which are denominated in U.S. dollars and issued under local law was established at the end of each week for those transactions that had a concurrence of tenders received with a priority of price and time. This limit may not exceed the amount of fifty thousand nominal values settled. Plus, it was also established as prior condition for those transactions that the orders may only be given if no sales have been made with foreign settlement in the previous thirty days, and a commit not to do so within thirty subsequent calendar days.

Securities trading
 
Central Bank Communication “A” 7106, as amended by Communication “A” 7308, established that securities transactions performed in Argentina, unlike securities transactions performed abroad, can be settled in ARS in Argentina.
 
Central Bank Communication “A” 7340 provides that securities sale transactions settled in foreign currency must be paid by one of the following mechanisms:
 
By transfer of funds to and from demand accounts held in the customer’s name with local financial institutions;
 
Against wire transfers on bank accounts in the customer’s name with a foreign entity that is not incorporated in countries or territories where the Recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force do not apply, or do not sufficiently apply.
 
This Communication “A” 7340 also prohibits the settlement of purchase and sale transactions of securities with settlement in foreign currency through payment in foreign currency cash, or through their deposit in custody accounts or accounts of third parties.
 
No sales of securities with settlement in foreign currency may be executed in Argentina, and such securities may not be transferred to foreign depositaries or exchanged for other external assets, by persons that were granted with certain benefits (beneficiaries of refinancings contemplated under Section 2.1.1. of the regulations on “Financial services under the scope of the health emergency ordered by Decree No. 260/2020.
 
On July 8, 2021, the CNV passed General Resolution 895/2021 increasing the minimum holding periods for the settlement of securities against foreign currency and in foreign jurisdiction. The resolution does not incorporate modifications for the settlement of securities against local currency.
 
The minimum holding period for securities in the local custodian to be applied to the settlement of transactions in foreign currency and in foreign jurisdiction (i.e., settlement against “Dollar Cable” in a foreign account) was set to two (2) business days. This holding period does not apply in the case of purchases of securities with settlement in foreign currency and in a foreign jurisdiction.
 
In the case of sales of securities with settlement in foreign currency, but in local jurisdiction (i.e., settlement against a MEP transfer to a local account), the holding period remains one business day. This holding period shall not apply in the case of purchases of securities settling in foreign currency.
 
The holding period prior to settlement against foreign currency and in foreign jurisdiction (i.e. settlement against “Dollar Cable” in a foreign account) for locally credited securities from foreign depositories (i.e. acquired from foreign agents) has also been set to two (2) business days. In the case of transactions with settlement in foreign currency and in local jurisdiction (i.e., settlement against a MEP transfer to a local account), the holding period remains at one business day.

Finally, the CNV also modified the maximum limits for weekly transactions in sovereign securities issued by the Argentine Republic for each principal sub-account in the time-priority bidding segment, which prior to the entry into force of the General Resolution was 100,000 nominal amounts (only for securities issued under local law). According to the new General Resolution, the limit was split into (i) 50,000 nominal amounts for securities issued under local law, purchased with settlement in such currency and jurisdiction, and (ii) 50,000 nominal amounts for securities issued under foreign law. These limits continue not to apply to wholesale transactions (Argentine Open Electronic Market – Mercado Abierto Electrónico – and ByMA’s Segment of Bilateral Negotiation – Segmento de Negociación Bilateral–).

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER
 
The following are some questions that you may have regarding the Merger and the other matters being considered at the IRSA CP extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings and brief answers to those questions. We urge you to read the remainder of this prospectus carefully, including, without limitation, the Preliminary Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this prospectus as Annex A, because the information in this section does not provide all the information that might be important to you with respect to the Merger. Additional important information is also contained in the annex to, and the documents incorporated by reference in, this prospectus.
 
Q. What are the reasons for the Merger?
 
A: The Merger is expected to generate important benefits and synergies for both IRSA and IRSA CP, resulting from greater efficiency of resources in their management, including, without limitation: (a) to operate and keep only one transactional information system and centralize the entire accounting process; (b) to submit only one set of financial statements to the various control authorities with the ensuing savings in accounting and advisory fees, and other related expenses; (c) to simplify the accounting reporting and consolidation process, as a consequence of the relief that the Merger would entail for the corporate structure as a whole; (d) to cause IRSA CP to be delisted from ByMA and NASDAQ, with the related cost-savings; (e) to reduce costs generally relating to legal fees and tax submissions; (f) to increase the percentage of capital stock listed in the different markets by increasing the liquidity of listed shares of IRSA; (g) to take advantage of tax savings related to the Merger; and (h) to prevent any potential overlap of businesses between IRSA and IRSA CP.
 
Q: What is the Merger?
 
A: The proposed Merger will be implemented under the Argentine General Companies Law No. 19,550 (as amended, the “Argentine Corporations Law”), together with any applicable rules and regulations of the CNV. Upon consummation of the Merger described in this prospectus, IRSA CP will cease to exist, IRSA will assume all of the rights and obligations of IRSA CP, and the holders of IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs, other than us, will receive IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs, respectively, in exchange therefor.
 
Q: What will happen in the Merger?
 
A: Effectively the Shares or the ADSs of IRSA CP will be exchanged for IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs upon the approval and registration under all the applicable regulations in Argentina. In the meantime, from the approval of the shareholders meeting the shares of IRSA CP or the ADSs of IRSA CP will continue to trade in ByMA and NASDAQ respectively.
 
Q: Which company will survive the Merger?
 
A: If the Merger is approved, IRSA CP will be merged into IRSA, and IRSA will be the surviving company.
 
Q: What will be the name of the merged company if the Merger is approved?
 
A: If the Merger is approved, the merged company, which we also refer to as the “surviving company,” will be “IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima.” IRSA CP will be dissolved without liquidation and cease to exist.
 
 
16
 
 
Q: What is the status of the Merger?
 
A: As of the date of this prospectus, the Preliminary Merger Agreement has been approved by the Board of Directors of IRSA and the Board of Directors of IRSA CP. Shareholders of the two companies will be asked to approve the Merger at each of their respective extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings, and once such approval is received, the companies will complete all regulatory formalities related to the Merger and complete the exchange of IRSA Shares for outstanding IRSA CP Shares.
 
Q: What will happen to the IRSA CP Shares or IRSA CP ADSs in the Merger and what will holders of the IRSA CP Securities receive if the Merger is completed?
 
A: If the Merger is approved, IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs (other than those held by us) will be extinguished and the holders thereof will receive IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs, respectively. If you are a direct holder of IRSA CP Shares, you will receive 1.40 IRSA Shares for each IRSA CP Share you hold. If you are a holder of IRSA CP ADSs, you will receive 0.56 IRSA GDSs for each IRSA CP ADS you hold. Any IRSA CP Securities owned by us will not be exchanged for IRSA Shares and will be cancelled in connection with the consummation of the Merger.
 
Q: Are the IRSA Shares traded in any stock exchange?
 
A: The IRSA Shares are listed on the ByMA under the symbol “IRSA.” Our GDSs, each representing ten common shares, are listed in the NYSE under the trading symbol “IRS.”
 
Q: If I hold IRSA CP ADSs, how will my fractional entitlements to IRSA GDSs be treated at the time of the Merger?
 
A: As a result of the Merger, holders of IRSA CP ADSs will be attributed 0.56 IRSA GDSs for every IRSA CP ADS validly surrendered (each IRSA CP ADS representing four IRSA CP Shares). No fractional IRSA GDSs will be issued. Fractional entitlements to IRSA GDSs will be aggregated and sold by the IRSA GDS Depositary subject to the terms of the IRSA Deposit Agreement. The net proceeds from the sale of the fractional entitlements to IRSA GDSs shall be distributed by the IRSA GDS Depositary to the holders of newly-issued IRSA GDSs, in proportion to the number of IRSA GDSs each such holder owns. Furthermore, the IRSA GDS Depositary, shall distribute only such amount as can be distributed without attributing to any newly-issued IRSA GDSs holder a fraction of one cent, with any such fractional amounts being rounded to the nearest whole cent and so distributed to each IRSA GDSs new holder.
 
To receive the IRSA GDSs and the net proceeds from the sale of the fractional entitlements to IRSA GDSs, holders of IRSA CP ADSs will need to deliver their IRSA CP ADSs to Bank of New York Mellon, as the IRSA CP ADS depositary (the “IRSA CP ADS Depositary”). Promptly after the Merger and upon due delivery of their IRSA CP ADSs to the IRSA CP ADS Depositary, former IRSA CP ADS holders will receive the IRSA GDSs and a check in the amount of the pro rata cash proceeds from the sale of entitlements to fractional IRSA GDSs. If you hold IRSA CP ADSs in a brokerage or custodian account, you must work with your broker or custodian to make the requisite arrangements to exchange your IRSA CP ADSs for IRSA GDSs.
 
Q: Will holders of IRSA CP Shares or ADSs have to pay brokerage commission?
 
A: Holders of IRSA CP Securities will not have to pay brokerage commissions if their IRSA CP Shares or IRSA CP ADSs are registered in their name. However, if such IRSA CP Securities are held through a bank or broker or a custodian, holders of IRSA CP Securities should inquire as to whether any other transaction fee or service charges may be charged by the broker or custodian in connection with the Merger.
 
 
17
 
 
Q: What shareholder approvals are needed?

A: The Merger of IRSA CP with and into IRSA will require the affirmative votes of (i) holders of more than 50% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of IRSA CP, at an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting of IRSA CP and (ii) holders of more than 50% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of IRSA, at an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting of IRSA.
 
In order to validly hold an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting at these companies, at least 60% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of each of IRSA and IRSA CP must be present or represented at the meeting following the first call. In regards to celebrating an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting on second call, pursuant to Section 244 of the Argentine Corporations Law, at least a majority of the total issued and outstanding share capital is required to be present to validly celebrating any such meeting.
 
Q: Does IRSA intend to vote the IRSA CP Shares (including IRSA CP Shares represented by IRSA CP ADSs) that it directly or indirectly beneficially owns in favor of the Merger?
 
A: As of the date of this prospectus, the board of directors has not decided whether IRSA will vote the 432,545,580 IRSA CP Shares owned by IRSA, representing 79.92% of the total outstanding capital stock of IRSA CP at IRSA CP shareholders’ meeting.
 
Q: Do the holders of IRSA CP Shares have appraisal rights in connection with the Merger?
 
A: IRSA CP shareholders will not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the Argentine Corporations Law or under IRSA CP’s bylaws (estatutos) in connection with the Merger, and neither IRSA CP nor IRSA will independently provide IRSA CP shareholders with any such rights. A dissenter’s right of appraisal is not available pursuant to Section 245 of the Argentine Corporations Law in the event of a Merger between two companies where shares of both of those companies are publicly traded and any new shares issued in the Merger are also publicly traded.
 
Q: Are there risks associated with the Merger that I should consider in deciding whether to vote for the Merger?
 
A: Yes. There are risks related to the Merger transaction that are discussed in this document. See, in particular, the detailed description of the risks associated with the Merger in “Risk Factors.
 
 
18
 
 
Q: What happens if the Merger is approved, and when will the Merger be completed?
 
A: The respective extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings of each of IRSA CP and IRSA are expected to be held on               , 20     .
 
Under the Argentine Corporations Law, the Merger will be completed (though not effected) at the company level once it is approved at the shareholders’ meetings of each of IRSA CP and IRSA. Once the extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings of each of IRSA CP and IRSA have approved the Merger, pursuant to Argentine law the two companies have to publish notices in Argentina alerting creditors who may oppose the Merger for three (3) business days in the Argentine official gazette and in an Argentine major newspaper. Pursuant to the Argentine Corporations Law, pre-existing creditors may oppose the Merger within 15 calendar days from the last publication to protect their credits. These objections do not have the effect of staying any procedures effecting the Merger. However, the final, definitive documentation may not be executed until 20 calendar days after the expiration of the aforementioned 15-day term, to enable opposing creditors that have not been paid or duly guaranteed by the merging companies to obtain a judicial order for attachment by the courts. Once the 15-day period for the creditors’ opposition and additional 20-day period have elapsed, the merging companies may execute and deliver the definitive merger agreement through a public deed. After such execution, the definitive merger agreement and other relevant documentation must be executed and submitted to the CNV for registration with the Public Registry of Commerce of the City of Buenos Aires (Inspección General de Justicia) (with respect to IRSA CP and IRSA) (the “Public Registry of Commerce”). Once such registration is approved by the CNV, the CNV will send the definitive merger agreement to the Public Registry of Commerce for registration. Simultaneously with the initial filing of the Argentine prospectus with the CNV, IRSA will request that the CNV (i) authorize the public offering of those newly-issued shares that are to be offered in exchange for the IRSA CP Shares and the listing of such shares on ByMA and (ii) deregister its shares, but such deregistration will not take place until the Merger is consummated. Because many of these steps are outside of our control and IRSA CP’s control and their completion depends on third parties, we can provide no assurances as to when we will consummate the Merger or whether the Merger will be consummated at all. Once the definitive merger agreement is registered with the Public Registry of Commerce, the Merger becomes effective vis-à-vis third parties. IRSA has 5 days to deliver a copy of the registered definitive merger agreement to the ByMA to obtain definitive approval for the exchange of shares. Within 30 days of the definitive approval of the ByMA for the exchange of shares, IRSA shall commence the exchange of shares.
 
Upon finalization of this registration process, the Merger will become effective and holders of IRSA CP Securities (other than us) at such time will receive IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs, as the case may be, upon surrender by such holder of their IRSA CP Securities. Any IRSA CP Securities owned by us will not be exchanged for IRSA CP Securities and will be cancelled in connection with the consummation of the Merger.
 
Q: What happens if the Merger is not approved?
 
A: If the Merger is not approved, we intend to retain ownership of all IRSA CP Securities that we currently hold and continue to treat IRSA CP as subsidiary of IRSA.
 
Q: When will I know the results of the extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings?
 
A: We will issue a press release announcing the results of the extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings of each of IRSA and IRSA CP promptly following such meetings.
 
Q: As a legal matter, can holders of the IRSA CP Shares sell the IRSA Securities they receive in the Merger?
 
A: Yes, once the Merger is consummated provided that a holder of IRSA CP Securities is not an affiliate of either IRSA or IRSA CP. If such holder is an affiliate, there may be restrictions on its ability to resell the IRSA Securities under applicable securities law. We expect that holders of IRSA CP Securities will be able to sell their IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs on each stock exchange on which such shares are listed, so long as their broker or other securities intermediary has the ability to execute transactions on that exchange.
 
 
19
 
 
Q: May the Merger be reversed?
 
A: Once the Merger is approved by shareholders of IRSA and IRSA CP, it may not be reversed. Following approval of the Merger by the extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings of each of IRSA CP and IRSA, each company must complete several regulatory steps described in this prospectus, and the Merger cannot be consummated before these steps are completed even though the companies will have been treated as merged for operational and tax purposes since the Merger Effectiveness Date. If these steps are not completed, the Merger will not be consummated. See “The Merger.”
 
Q: As a holder of the IRSA CP ADSs, what should I do to receive the IRSA GDSs?
 
A: Under the terms of the IRSA CP ADS deposit agreement, upon the effectiveness of the Merger, the IRSA CP ADSs (other than those held by us) will represent the right to receive the IRSA Shares that the IRSA CP ADS Depositary receives in connection with the Merger in the form of IRSA GDSs, subject to the surrender of the IRSA CP ADSs representing IRSA CP Shares to the IRSA CP Depositary and payment of applicable taxes.
 
If you are a registered holder of IRSA CP ADSs and you hold an American depositary receipt (“ADR”) certificate that evidences your IRSA CP ADSs, you will be required to surrender your ADR certificate to the IRSA CP Depositary to receive the IRSA Shares in the form of IRSA GDSs.
 
Upon receipt of your IRSA GDSs, the IRSA CP Depositary will cancel your IRSA CP ADSs, deliver the number of IRSA Shares received in the Merger in respect of your IRSA CP ADSs representing IRSA CP Shares to the order of the IRSA GDS Depositary, and instruct the IRSA GDS Depositary to issue and deliver the applicable number of IRSA GDSs to you in direct registration form.
 
If you are not a registered holder of your IRSA CP ADSs but hold your IRSA CP ADSs in “street name” through a broker, bank, custodian or other nominee, you will need to arrange with your broker, bank, custodian or other nominee to deliver your IRSA CP ADSs to the IRSA GDS Depositary, and the IRSA CP Depositary will arrange for such IRSA CP ADSs to be cancelled and exchanged for IRSA GDSs and for the corresponding IRSA Shares to be delivered to the order of the IRSA GDS Depositary.
 
If you hold your IRSA CP ADSs in direct registration form (i.e., registered in your name but not represented by an ADR certificate you hold), you will need to instruct the IRSA CP ADS Depositary to cancel your IRSA CP ADSs, deliver the number of IRSA Shares received in the Merger in respect of your IRSA CP ADSs to the order of the IRSA GDS Depositary, and instruct the IRSA GDS Depositary to issue and deliver the applicable number of IRSA GDSs to you in direct registration form.
 
Q: Why am I receiving this document?
 
A: In connection with the Merger, IRSA is required by the Securities Act to deliver this document to all holders of IRSA CP Securities that are U.S. residents. This document is being distributed to you for informational purposes only. You should carefully review it because as a shareholder of IRSA CP, you will be entitled to vote at the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting that has been called in order for the shareholders of IRSA CP to approve the Merger.

Q: What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger and the payment in cash in lieu of fractional IRSA GDS interests?
 
A: Based upon representations contained in representation letters provided by IRSA CP and IRSA and on customary factual assumptions, all of which must have been and continue to be true and accurate in all material respects as of the Merger Effectiveness Date through the date of the Merger, it is the opinion of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP that the Merger will constitute a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Based on the foregoing, U.S. Holders (as defined in the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”) of IRSA CP Securities will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Merger, except for any gain or loss that may result from receipt of cash instead of fractional IRSA GDSs. You should read the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” for more information on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger and the ownership of IRSA Securities received pursuant to the Merger.
 
Q: What are the Argentine tax consequences of the Merger?
 
A: The Merger of IRSA CP and IRSA may qualify as a “tax-free reorganization” under the Argentine Income Tax Law N° 20,628, as amended (the “ITL”), the ITL’s Decreto Reglamentario 1344/98 (the “Regulatory Decree”), judicial decisions, and published rulings of the Argentine Federal tax authorities (Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos or “AFIP”); therefore, we believe the shareholders will not have to recognize any Argentine-source income in connection with the exchange of IRSA CP Securities for IRSA Securities in the Merger.
 
In order for the Merger to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the ITL and the Regulatory Decree, the companies must give formal notice of the Merger and submit other documentation to the AFIP within 180 calendar days from the Merger Effectiveness Date.
 
Q: What will be the accounting treatment of the Merger?
 
A: For accounting purposes, under the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), the Merger of IRSA CP with and into IRSA is a merger between entities under common control. Accordingly, it will be accounted for by IRSA in accordance with the predecessor basis of accounting. Under this method, the assets, liabilities and components of shareholders’ equity of the transferring entity are carried forward to the combined entity at their carrying amounts as of the effective Merger date.
 
As IRSA CP is already consolidated in IRSA’s consolidated financial statements, the only effect of the Merger is the reduction in non-controlling interest and an increase in share capital and other reserves within equity.
 
Q: Are any other approvals necessary for the completion of the Merger?
 
A: Except for the shareholder approvals and the regulatory steps described above and under “Regulatory Matters,” there are no other approvals necessary to complete the Merger.
 
 
21
 
 
Q: Are there any conditions to the Merger?
 
A: The completion and effectiveness of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
 
approval of the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in the Preliminary Merger Agreement by the shareholders of each of IRSA CP and IRSA at their respective extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings;
 
publication, during a 3 day period, of a Merger notice in the Argentine official gazette and in a major Argentine newspaper notifying creditors of IRSA CP of their right to oppose the Merger;
 
the completion of a period of 15 to 35 days to allow creditors of IRSA CP to oppose the Merger;
 
satisfaction or granting of guarantees to any creditors that file oppositions;
 
the execution of the definitive merger agreement through a public deed; and
 
the registration of the definitive merger agreement, the Merger and the dissolution of IRSA CP with the Public Registry of Commerce.
 
No assurance can be given as to when or whether any of these approvals and consents will be obtained, the terms and conditions that may be imposed in connection with their consents and approvals, or the consequences of failing to obtain the consents and approvals.

Q: How will my rights as an ADS holder change after the Merger?
 
A: By receiving IRSA GDSs, you will be entitled to certain rights that are different from your rights as a holder of ADSs. The IRSA GDSs to be issued in the Merger will have the same rights (including the right to receive dividends) as the IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs prior to the Merger, as set forth in IRSA’s bylaws (estatutos) and the IRSA Deposit Agreement. However, it must be noted that as a holder of IRSA GDSs, you will not be treated as one of our shareholders and you will not have shareholder rights. The depositary will be the holder of the common shares underlying your IRSA GDSs and holders may exercise voting rights with respect to the common shares represented by the IRSA GDSs only in accordance with the deposit agreement relating to such IRSA GDSs. There are no provisions under Argentine law or under our bylaws that limit the exercise by ADS holders of their voting rights through the depositary with respect to the underlying common shares. However, there are practical limitations on the ability of ADS holders to exercise their voting rights due to the additional procedural steps involved in communicating with these holders. For example, holders of our common shares will receive notice of shareholders’ meetings through publication of a notice in the CNV’s website, an Official Gazette in Argentina, an Argentine newspaper of general circulation and the bulletin of ByMA, and will be able to exercise their voting rights by either attending the meeting in person or voting by proxy. ADS holders, by comparison, will not receive notice directly from us. Instead, in accordance with the deposit agreement, we will provide the notice to the ADS Depositary. If we ask the ADS Depositary to do so, the ADS Depositary will mail to holders of IRSA GDSs the notice of the meeting and a statement as to the manner in which instructions may be given by holders. To exercise their voting rights, IRSA GDSs holders must then instruct the IRSA GDS Depositary as to voting the common shares represented by their IRSA GDSs. Under the deposit agreement, the ADS Depositary is not required to carry out any voting instructions unless it receives a legal opinion from us that the matters to be voted would not violate our bylaws or Argentine law. We are not required to instruct our legal counsel to give that opinion. Due to these procedural steps involving the ADS Depositary, the process for exercising voting rights may take longer for IRSA GDSs holders than for holders of common shares and common shares represented by IRSA GDSs may not be voted as you desire.

selective investments outside Argentina.
 
We have the following main operations:
 
Shopping Malls. We are engaged in the acquisition, development and management of shopping malls through our subsidiary IRSA CP and its subsidiaries. Since 1996, we have expanded our real estate activities in the shopping mall segment, through the acquisition and development of shopping malls.

Selected financial information
 
This prospectus includes in Annex B the audited consolidated financial statements of IRSA CP as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 and for each of the three years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, which we refer to as the “IRSA CP Audited Financial Statements.” The IRSA CP Audited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS as issued by the IASB and are presented in Argentine pesos.
 
The Merger
 
Each of IRSA CP and IRSA have agreed to merge as contemplated in the Preliminary Merger Agreement, as explained in this prospectus. Under the terms of the Preliminary Merger Agreement, IRSA CP will merge into IRSA, by way of absorption by IRSA of IRSA CP. IRSA will assume, by universal succession, all of the assets and liabilities, and will succeed to all of the rights and obligations, of IRSA CP. Upon the registration of the definitive merger agreement with the Public Registry of Commerce, all of the assets and liabilities of IRSA CP will be transferred to IRSA. The surviving company will continue to be known as “IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima.”
 
 
27
 
 
The Merger is expected to generate important benefits and synergies for both IRSA and IRSA CP, resulting from greater efficiency of resources in their management, including, without limitation: (a) to operate and keep only one transactional information system and centralize the entire accounting process; (b) to submit only one set of financial statements to the various control authorities with the ensuing savings in accounting and advisory fees, and other related expenses; (c) to simplify the accounting reporting and consolidation process, as a consequence of the relief that the Merger would entail for the corporate structure as a whole; (d) to cause IRSA CP to be delisted from ByMA and NASDAQ, with the related cost-savings; (e) to reduce costs generally relating to legal fees and tax submissions; (f) to increase the percentage of capital stock listed in the different markets by increasing the liquidity of listed shares of IRSA; (g) to take advantage of tax savings related to the Merger; and (h) to prevent any potential overlap of businesses between IRSA and IRSA CP.
 
On September 30, 2021, the Boards of Directors of the Companies approved the execution of the Preliminary Merger Agreement and the filing with the CNV and ByMA of the prior authorization request for the Merger by filing, among other documentation, a form of reorganization prospectus (prospecto de fusión). The Preliminary Merger Agreement is attached to this prospectus as Annex A. We encourage you to read this document in its entirety.
 
Applicable Argentine law and the Preliminary Merger Agreement will govern the Merger. Shareholders of IRSA CP and IRSA will be asked to vote on the decision to merge as contemplated by the Preliminary Merger Agreement at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of IRSA CP and IRSA, respectively.
 
If the Merger is approved by the required majority vote at the shareholders meetings of each of the companies, we and IRSA CP expect to enter into a definitive merger agreement, which will be filed with the relevant Argentine authorities for registration and effectiveness of the Merger. We expect the filing and registration of the Definitive Merger Agreement to take several months, and upon finalization of such registration process, and holders of IRSA CP Securities at such time will receive IRSA  Shares, upon surrender by such holder of their IRSA CP Securities.
 
Though the Merger may qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Argentine law, we can provide no assurances as to the tax treatment of the Merger. If the Merger qualifies as a tax-free reorganization under Argentine law, no Argentine capital gains or withholding tax would apply to investors receiving IRSA Securities in the Merger in exchange for their IRSA CP Securities. Also, the consummation of the Merger may not occur for a significant period of time following the filing of this prospectus, in light of the requirements that each company to obtain shareholder approval, submit regulatory filings and complete a registration process. In addition, the Merger is subject to a number of conditions, including approval by the shareholders of the two companies, and as a result we can provide no assurances as to when we will consummate the Merger or whether the Merger will be consummated at all.
 
If the Merger is not approved, we intend to retain ownership of all IRSA CP Securities that we currently hold and continue to treat IRSA CP as a subsidiary of IRSA.

Merger Consideration
 
In the Merger, a holder of IRSA CP Shares will receive 1.40 newly-issued IRSA Shares for each IRSA CP Share (the “Share Exchange Ratio”). A holder of IRSA CP ADSs, each representing four IRSA CP Shares, will receive 0.56 newly-issued IRSA GDSs for each IRSA CP ADS (the “ADS Exchange Ratio” and, together with the Share Exchange Ratio, the “Merger Exchange Ratios”). IRSA will pay no additional consideration in cash or in kind to the shareholders of IRSA CP in connection with the Merger. Any IRSA CP Securities owned by us will not be exchanged for IRSA Securities and will be cancelled in connection with the consummation of the Merger.
 
The IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs to be issued in the Merger will have the same rights (including the right to receive dividends) as the IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs prior to the Merger, as set forth in IRSA’s bylaws (estatutos) and the IRSA Deposit Agreement.
 
Based on the number of IRSA CP Shares issued on the date hereof, after the effective time of the Merger, former IRSA CP shareholders will hold on a fully diluted basis approximately 17.1% of the then-issued IRSA Shares on a fully diluted basis.
 
For more information, see “The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration”.
 
Shareholders Entitled to Vote
 
All holders of IRSA CP Securities as of            , 20    , and IRSA Securities as of            , 20    , are entitled to vote on the Merger at the extraordinary general shareholders meetings to be held on            , 20    . Holders may cast 1 vote for each IRSA CP Share (and 4 votes for each IRSA CP ADS) and 1 vote for each IRSA Share (and 10 votes for each IRSA GDS) that they own on the date indicated above. Such voting rights are governed by Article 26 of the bylaws (estatutos) of IRSA CP and Article 27 of the bylaws (estatutos) of IRSA, which incorporate by reference the provisions of Section 244 of the Argentine Corporations Law, and, in the case of the IRSA CP ADSs, the deposit agreement governing the IRSA CP ADSs. As of the date of this prospectus, IRSA’s board of directors has not decided whether IRSA will vote the 432,545,580 IRSA CP Shares owned by IRSA, representing 79.92% of the total outstanding capital stock of IRSA CP at IRSA CP shareholders’ meeting.
 
The Merger cannot be effected unless IRSA CP and IRSA shareholders adopt the decision to merge as contemplated by the Preliminary Merger Agreement (among other conditions set forth in this prospectus). The Merger of IRSA CP with and into IRSA will require the affirmative votes of (i) holders of more than 50% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of IRSA CP, at an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting of IRSA CP and (ii) holders of more than 50% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of IRSA, at an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting of IRSA.
 
In order to validly hold an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting at these companies, at least 60% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of each of IRSA and IRSA CP must be present or represented at the meeting following the first call. In regards to celebrating an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting on second call, pursuant to Section 244 of the Argentine Corporations Law, at least a majority of the total issued and outstanding share capital is required to be present to validly celebrate any such meeting.

For more information, see “Material Contacts Among IRSA and IRSA CP” and “The Merger—Share Ownership of Directors and Senior Management.”
 
Stock Exchange Listings
 
The IRSA Shares and the IRSA CP Shares are listed on the ByMA. The IRSA GDSs are listed on the NYSE and the IRSA CP ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq.
 
Upon effectiveness of the Merger, the IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs will cease to exist and will no longer be admitted to trading or listed on the ByMA or the Nasdaq, respectively.
 
Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights in the Merger
 
IRSA CP shareholders will not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights under Argentine law or under IRSA CP’s bylaws (estatutos) in connection with the Merger, and neither IRSA CP nor IRSA will independently provide IRSA CP shareholders with any such rights. A dissenter’s right of appraisal is not available pursuant to Section 245 of the Argentine Corporations Law in the event of a Merger between two companies where shares of both of those companies are publicly traded and any new shares issued in the Merger are also publicly traded.
 
Conditions to Effectiveness of the Merger
 
The completion and effectiveness of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
 
approval of the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in the Preliminary Merger Agreement by the shareholders of IRSA CP and IRSA at their respective extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings;
 
publication, during a 3 day period, of a Merger notice in the Argentine official gazette and in a major Argentine newspaper notifying creditors of IRSA CP of their right to oppose the Merger;
 
the completion of a period of 15 to 35 days to allow creditors of IRSA CP to oppose the Merger;
 
satisfaction or granting of guarantees to any creditors that file oppositions;
 
the execution of the definitive merger agreement through a public deed; and
 
the registration of the definitive merger agreement, the Merger and the dissolution of IRSA CP with the Public Registry of Commerce.
 
No assurance can be given as to when or whether any of these approvals and consents will be obtained, the terms and conditions that may be imposed in connection with their consents and approvals, or the consequences of failing to obtain the consents and approvals.
 
 
35
 
 
Regulatory Matters
 
The Merger is not subject to any additional regulatory requirements of any municipal, state, federal or foreign governmental agencies, other than those mentioned in this prospectus. For more information, see “Regulatory Matters.”
 
Termination of the Merger Agreement
 
The Preliminary Merger Agreement between IRSA CP and IRSA provides that either party may terminate the agreement if the shareholders of IRSA CP or IRSA do not approve the Merger at the relevant extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting within six months of the date of the agreement. Additionally, under Argentine law, the Preliminary Merger Agreement may be terminated if: (i) the shareholders of IRSA CP or IRSA do not approve the Merger at the relevant extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting; (ii) the Board of Directors of IRSA CP or IRSA decide to terminate the Preliminary Merger Agreement prior to its consideration by the extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings of IRSA CP and IRSA; or (iii) IRSA CP or IRSA do not hold an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting to approve the Preliminary Merger Agreement within three months of its execution. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that neither IRSA CP nor IRSA hold an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting to approve the Preliminary Merger Agreement within three months of its execution, the Preliminary Merger Agreement will continue to be in full force and effect. In such case, both IRSA CP and IRSA will have a right (but will be under no obligation) to terminate the Preliminary Merger Agreement.
  
Taxation
 
U.S. Taxation
 
You should read the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” for more information on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger, and you should consult your own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Merger in your particular circumstances.
 
Argentine Taxation
 
You should read the section entitled “Argentine Tax Consequences” for more information on the Argentine tax consequences of the Merger, and you should consult your own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Merger in your particular circumstances.
 
Accounting Treatment
 
For accounting purposes, under IFRS as issued by the IASB, the Merger of IRSA CP with and into IRSA is a merger between entities under common control. Accordingly, it will be accounted for by IRSA in accordance with the predecessor basis of accounting. Under this method, the assets, liabilities and components of shareholders’ equity of the transferring entity are carried forward to the combined entity at their carrying amounts as of the effective Merger date.
 
As IRSA CP is already consolidated in IRSA’s consolidated financial statements, the only effect of the Merger is the reduction in non-controlling interest and an increase in share capital and other reserves within equity.
 
 
36
 
 
Comparison of rights of IRSA and IRSA CP shareholders
 
As a result of the Merger, IRSA CP Securities will be automatically exchanged for IRSA Securities. By receiving IRSA Shares, you will be entitled to certain rights as a shareholder of IRSA that are different from your rights as a shareholder of IRSA CP. See “Comparison of the Rights of Shareholders of IRSA and IRSA CP.”
 
Risk Factors
 
In deciding whether to vote in favor of the Merger, you should carefully consider the following risk factors:
 
Market fluctuations may reduce the market value of the Merger consideration we are offering to holders of IRSA CP Securities because the Merger Exchange Ratios contemplated by the Merger are fixed;
 
The value of the IRSA Securities, being offered will fluctuate due to movements in exchange rates;
 
Investors who own IRSA CP Securities but who do not wish to hold IRSA Securities may sell the IRSA Securities they receive or expect to receive in the Merger or sell their IRSA CP Securities prior to the consummation of the Merger. This may put downward pressure on the market price of the IRSA Securities that holders of IRSA CP Securities will receive in the Merger. Arbitrageurs may also adversely influence the price of the IRSA Securities;
 
We may fail to realize the synergies and benefits anticipated from the Merger;
 
IRSA’s business and the IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs may be adversely impacted if the Merger is not consummated;
 
IRSA CP’s business and the IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs may be adversely impacted if the Merger is not consummated;
 
The business relationships of IRSA CP, IRSA or their respective subsidiaries may be subject to disruptions due to uncertainty associated with the Merger, which could have an adverse effect on the operating results, cash flows and financial position of IRSA, IRSA CP and, following the consummation of the Merger, the combined company; and
 
Any delay in completing the Merger may reduce or eliminate the benefits expected to be achieved as a result of the Merger.

The following table presents historical and equivalent per share data. The amounts presented for the relevant periods in the table reflect the following:
 
Historical earnings per IRSA Share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to IRSA (controlling interest) by the weighted average number of IRSA Shares outstanding (588,409,377) during the year indicated.
 
Historical earnings per IRSA CP Share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to IRSA CP Shares (approximately a loss of ARS 21,933 million) by the weighted average number of IRSA CP Shares outstanding (541,230,019) during the year indicated.
 
Historical dividend per IRSA Share is calculated by dividing total dividends paid by IRSA to its shareholders by the weighted average number of IRSA Shares outstanding during the year indicated.
 
Historical dividend per IRSA CP Share is calculated by dividing total dividends paid to holders of IRSA CP Shares by the weighted average number of IRSA CP Shares outstanding during the year indicated.
 
Historical book value per IRSA Share is computed by dividing total shareholders’ equity attributable to IRSA (controlling interest) by the number of IRSA Shares outstanding as of the year indicated.
 
Historical book value per IRSA CP Share is computed by dividing total shareholders’ equity attributable to IRSA CP Shares by the number of IRSA CP Shares outstanding as of the year indicated.
 
Equivalent basis information of IRSA CP Shares reflects the amounts for IRSA Shares multiplied by the Share Exchange Ratio.

RISK FACTORS
 
In addition to the other information included in this prospectus, including the matters addressed under “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the following risks before deciding whether to vote to adopt the Merger of IRSA CP into IRSA as contemplated by the Preliminary Merger Agreement. You should also consider the other information in this prospectus and the other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including the Preliminary Merger Agreement. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”
 
Risks Related to The Merger
 
Market fluctuations may reduce the market value of the Merger consideration we are offering to holders of IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs, respectively, because the Share Exchange Ratio and the ADS Exchange Ratio contemplated by the Merger are fixed.
 
Upon the consummation of the Merger, holders of IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs will receive consideration that consists of a specified number of IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs, respectively, rather than a number of IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs with a specified market value. As a result, the market value of IRSA Shares and of IRSA GDSs that holders of IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs receive in the Merger will fluctuate depending upon the market value of IRSA’s shares on the ByMA and on the NYSE, as applicable. Accordingly, the market value of IRSA Shares and of IRSA GDSs at the time at which they are received by holders of IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADS may vary significantly from their market value on the date of this prospectus and at the time of the closing of the Merger.
 
The value of the IRSA Shares, including those represented by IRSA GDSs, being offered will fluctuate due to movements in exchange rates
 
There will be no adjustment to the stock consideration offered for changes in the market price of either IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs, on the one hand, or IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs, on the other, or for movements in exchange rates. Accordingly, the market value of the IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs that holders of IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs, respectively, will receive upon the consummation of the Merger and the exchange rate between the peso and the U.S. dollar at the time could vary significantly from the market value of IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs and the peso-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate on the date of this prospectus. The market value of the IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs to be distributed in the Merger and the peso-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate will also continue to fluctuate after the consummation of the Merger. For historical exchange rate information, please see “Exchange Rates.”  You should obtain current market quotations for IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs, on the one hand, and IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs, on the other.
 
Investors who own IRSA CP Shares but who do not wish to hold IRSA Shares may sell the IRSA Shares they receive or expect to receive in the Merger or sell their IRSA CP Shares prior to the consummation of the Merger. This may put downward pressure on the market price of the IRSA Shares that holders of IRSA CP Shares will receive in the Merger. Arbitrageurs may also adversely influence the price of the IRSA Shares.
 
Some holders of IRSA CP Shares may wish to sell their IRSA CP Shares prior to the consummation of the Merger, or, in the case of holders of IRSA CP Shares, the IRSA Shares that they will receive in the Merger. In addition, the market price of the IRSA CP Securities may be adversely affected by arbitrage activities prior to the consummation of the Merger. These sales or the prospect of future sales, as well as arbitrage activity, could adversely affect the market price of IRSA Shares.
 
 
41
 
 
The Merger is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals which may not be obtained, and any delay in completing the Merger may reduce or eliminate the benefits expected to be achieved as a result of the Merger
 
The Merger is subject to the receipt of the requisite approvals by the shareholders of IRSA and IRSA CP, which may not be obtained or may be delayed. In the event one or more of these approvals are not obtained, the Merger may not be consummated or its terms and conditions may be modified from the current agreement.
 
In addition to the shareholder approvals, the Merger requires certain regulatory and administrative approvals, some of which are beyond IRSA and IRSA CP’s control and any of which may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect the consummation of the Merger. The consummation of the Merger requires the receipt of an administrative consent from the CNV, the registration of the Final Merger Agreement with the Public Registry of Commerce of the City of Buenos Aires, and the cancellation of the IRSA CP Shares requires the approval by the ByMA. Additional authorizations may be necessary from other governmental or regulatory entities to consummate the Merger. None of the Companies can predict whether or when these approvals will be obtained. Furthermore, the requirements for obtaining the required approvals, consents or clearances could delay the consummation of the Merger for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring at all. Any delay in completing the Merger could prevent or delay the combined company from realizing some or all of the anticipated cost savings, synergies, growth opportunities and other benefits that IRSA and IRSA CP expect to achieve if the Merger is successfully completed within the expected time frame.
 
If the Merger is not consummated, there may not be a liquid market for the IRSA CP Shares IRSA CP Shares.
 
If the Merger is not approved, IRSA intends to retain ownership of all of its IRSA CP Shares and will continue to treat IRSA CP as a subsidiary. Furthermore, IRSA may decide to cause IRSA CP to delist from any or all of the Nasdaq and the ByMA, withdraw the IRSA CP Shares from the public offering regime in Argentina or terminate the IRSA CP Deposit Agreement and deregister the IRSA CP Shares and the IRSA CP ADSs under the Exchange Act. The decision would depend on, among other factors, IRSA’s management’s evaluation of the public float, trading volumes and liquidity of the IRSA CP Securities and the expenses of the IRSA CP Securities listed. In order to withdraw the IRSA CP Shares from the public offering regime in Argentina under Argentine law, IRSA CP would need to initiate a mandatory tender offer whereby they offer all IRSA CP shareholders that voted against the withdrawal of IRSA CP Shares the right to sell their IRSA CP Shares at a fair price (precio equitativo) based on certain parameters including the six-month weighted trading average value. The liquidity of any IRSA CP Security outstanding would be materially and adversely affected upon the withdrawal from the public offering regime, deregistration or delisting from either or any of the ByMA and the Nasdaq, as holders of IRSA CP Securities would likely no longer have an active trading market in which to sell such securities.
 
The businesses of IRSA and the IRSA Shares and IRSA CP Shares may be adversely impacted if the Merger is not consummated.
 
There can be no assurance that the Merger will occur, as the Merger is subject to certain conditions including shareholders’, regulatory and administrative approvals, among others. We cannot guarantee that these conditions will be satisfied and that the Merger will be successfully completed. The failure to consummate the Merger will prevent IRSA from reaping the expected benefits of the Merger, which could adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition and could adversely affect the price of the IRSA Shares and the IRSA CP Shares.
 
In the case of IRSA CP Shares particularly, IRSA CP incurs considerable costs in order to maintain the listing of these shares on the ByMA and Nasdaq, and if the Merger is not consummated, IRSA CP may need to consider reducing the markets in which its shares are listed. 
 
 
42
 
 
IRSA may fail to realize the synergies and benefits anticipated from the Merger.
 
The Merger may not achieve the synergies and benefits that IRSA and IRSA CP anticipate. In particular the real estate industry in Argentina may develop in a different direction than anticipated, the future valuations of IRSA CP may decrease from the market price we paid, the revenues of IRSA CP may not offset increased operating expenses associated with the Merger, we may experience difficulties in integrating new IRSA CP businesses and operations into our own in an effective and timely manner or at all; and the integration of IRSA CP may divert the attention of our senior management from the operation of our daily business. IRSA may also face operational challenges as a result of the Merger, including difficulties integrating IRSA CP. IRSA may not be able to realize the benefits of this Merger if IRSA is unable to successfully integrate IRSA CP with its existing operations and company culture. In addition, higher than expected overhead and administrative expenses or an inability to eliminate duplicative overhead and administrative functions could cause IRSA not to realize the expected cost savings and synergies and leave IRSA’s business less profitable.
 
The business relationships of IRSA and IRSA CP may be subject to disruptions due to uncertainty associated with the Merger, which could have an adverse effect on the operating results, cash flows and financial position of IRSA and IRSA CP and, following the consummation of the Merger, the combined company.
 
Parties with which IRSA or IRSA CP do business may experience uncertainty associated with the Merger and related transactions, including with respect to current or future business relationships with IRSA, IRSA CP or the combined company. The business relationships of IRSA or IRSA CP may be subject to disruption as customers, suppliers and other persons with whom IRSA or IRSA CP have a business relationship may delay or defer certain business decisions or might decide to seek to terminate, change or renegotiate their relationships with IRSA or IRSA CP, as applicable, or consider entering into business relationships with parties other than IRSA, IRSA CP or the combined company. Any delay in the approval or consummation of the Merger could have an adverse effect on the operating results, cash flows and financial position of IRSA, IRSA CP or, following the consummation of the Merger, the combined company including an adverse effect on the combined company’s ability to realize the expected synergies and other benefits of the Merger. The risk, and adverse effect, of any disruption could be exacerbated by a delay in the consummation of the Merger or termination of the Merger agreement.
 
Though the Merger may qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Argentine law, we can provide no assurances as to the tax treatment that the Argentine tax authorities will give to the Merger.
 
Though IRSA CP expects that all requirements for the Merger to qualify as a tax-free reorganization will be met in accordance with Section 77 et seq. of the Argentine Income Tax Law, no assurances can be given as to the tax treatment that Argentine tax authorities will give to the Merger and whether and when those requirements will be met. If the Merger qualifies as a tax-free reorganization under Argentine law, no Argentine capital gains or withholding tax would apply to investors receiving IRSA Securities in the Merger in exchange for their IRSA CP Securities. See “Argentine Tax Consequences—Tax Consequences Related to the Merger” for more detail on the issues related to the tax-free treatment of the Merger. If the Merger does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization, each transfer of assets and liabilities to IRSA caused by the Merger shall be subject to tax in accordance with the respective applicable law and regulations and we may be required to revise IRSA’s, and IRSA CP’s tax return filings in order to reflect the fact that the proposed Merger would not be tax-free, which may have an adverse impact on IRSA’s financial condition and results of operations.
 
The integration of IRSA CP into IRSA is a complex process that may affect the operations and results of operation of IRSA.
 
The integration of the operations, personnel and culture of IRSA CP is a complex process that is subject to important challenges that may not be successful, incur unforeseen costs or experience unexpected delays. In particular, IRSA may experience difficulties in the integration of internal standards, controls, procedures, practices, policies, business systems, IT systems, customer service, personnel, networks, suppliers, technology and infrastructure. Any of these could adversely affect the anticipated strategic and financial benefits from the Merger.

Risks Related to Argentina
 
You should read and consider the risk factors specific to Argentina. These risks are described in the IRSA 2021 Form 20-F and in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this document. See “Where You Can Find More Information” for more detail on the information incorporated by reference in this document.
 
Risks Related to IRSA CP’s Business
 
Disease outbreaks or other public health concerns could reduce traffic in IRSA CP’s shopping malls.
 
As a result of the outbreak of Swine Flu during the winter of 2009, consumers and tourists dramatically changed their spending and travel habits to avoid contact with crowds. Recently, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Argentine government enacted several regulations limiting the operation of schools, cinemas and shopping malls, which has significantly reduced traffic at IRSA CP’s shopping malls. See “Risks Relating to Argentina – The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and government measures to contain the virus are adversely affecting IRSA CP’s business and results of operations, and, as conditions are evolving rapidly, IRSA CP cannot accurately predict the ultimate impact on IRSA CP’s results of operation”. IRSA CP cannot assure you that new disease outbreaks or health hazards (such as the Ebola outbreak in recent years) will not occur in the future, or that such an outbreak or health hazard would not significantly affect consumer and/or tourists’ activity. The recurrence of such a scenario could adversely affect IRSA CP’s business and IRSA CP’s results of operations.
 
IRSA CP is subject to risks inherent to the operation of shopping malls that may affect IRSA CP’s profitability.
 
IRSA CP’s shopping malls are subject to various factors that affect their development, administration and profitability, including:
 
declines in lease prices or increases in levels of default by IRSA CP’s tenants due to economic conditions;
 
increases in interest rates and other factors outside IRSA CP’s control;
 
the accessibility and attractiveness of the areas where IRSA CP’s shopping malls are located;
 
the intrinsic attractiveness of the shopping mall;
 
the flow of people and the level of sales of rental units in IRSA CP’s shopping malls;
 
the increasing competition from internet sales;
 
the amount of rent collected from tenants at IRSA CP’s shopping malls;
 
changes in consumer demand and availability of consumer credit, both of which are highly sensitive to general macroeconomic conditions; and
 
fluctuations in occupancy levels in IRSA CP’s shopping malls.
 
An increase in IRSA CP’s operating costs could also have a material adverse effect on IRSA CP if IRSA CP’s tenants were to become unable to pay higher rent IRSA CP may be required to impose as a result of increased expenses. Moreover, the shopping mall business is closely related to consumer spending and affected by prevailing economic conditions. All of IRSA CP’s shopping malls and commercial properties are located in Argentina, and consequently, these operations may be adversely affected by recession or economic uncertainty in Argentina. Persistently poor economic conditions could result in a decline in consumer spending which could have a material adverse effect on shopping mall revenue.
 
IRSA CP’s assets are highly concentrated in certain geographic areas and an economic downturn in such areas could have a material adverse effect on IRSA CP’s results of operations and financial condition.
 
As of June 30, 2021, most of IRSA CP’s revenue from leases and services provided by the Shopping Malls segment derived from properties located in the City of Buenos Aires and the Greater Buenos Aires metropolitan area. In addition, all of IRSA CP’s office buildings are located in Buenos Aires and a substantial portion of IRSA CP’s revenue is derived from such properties. Although IRSA CP owns properties and may acquire or develop additional properties outside Buenos Aires and the Greater Buenos Aires metro area, IRSA CP expects to continue to be largely affected by economic conditions or pandemic effects which could affect these high populated areas. Consequently, an economic downturn in those areas could cause a reduction in IRSA CP’s rental income and adversely affect IRSA CP’s ability to comply with IRSA CP’s debt service and fund operations.

IRSA CP’s performance is subject to the risks associated with IRSA CP’s properties and with the real estate industry.
 
IRSA CP’s operating performance and the value of IRSA CP’s real estate assets, and as a result, the value of IRSA CP’s securities, are subject to the risk that IRSA CP’s properties may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to meet IRSA CP’s operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, IRSA CP’s cash flow needs and IRSA CP’s ability to service IRSA CP’s debt service obligations. Events or conditions beyond IRSA CP’s control that may adversely affect IRSA CP’s operations or the value of IRSA CP’s properties include:
 
downturns in national, regional and local economies;
 
decrease in consumer spending and consumption;
 
competition from other shopping malls and sales outlets;
 
local real estate market conditions, such as oversupply or lower demand for retail space;
 
changes in interest rates and availability of financing;
 
the exercise by IRSA CP’s tenants of their right to early termination of their leases;
 
vacancies, changes in market rental rates and the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-lease space;
 
increased operating costs, including insurance expenses, salary increases, utilities, real estate taxes, federal and local taxes and higher security costs;
 
the impact of losses resulting from civil disturbances, strikes, natural disasters, terrorist acts or acts of war;
 
significant fixed expenditures associated with each investment property, such as debt service payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs;
 
declines in the financial condition of IRSA CP’s tenants and IRSA CP’s ability to collect rents when due;
 
changes in IRSA CP’s or IRSA CP’s tenants’ ability to provide for adequate maintenance and insurance that result in a reduction in the useful life of a property; and
 
changes in law or governmental regulations (such as those governing usage, zoning and real property taxes) or changes in the exchange controls or government action (such as expropriation).

An adverse economic environment for real estate companies and the credit crisis may adversely affect IRSA CP’s results of operations.
 
The success of IRSA CP’s business and profitability of IRSA CP’s operations depends on continued investment in real estate and access to long-term financing. A prolonged crisis of confidence in real estate investments and lack of credit for acquisitions may constrain IRSA CP’s growth and the maintenance of IRSA CP’s current business and operations. As part of IRSA CP’s strategy, IRSA CP intends to increase IRSA CP’s properties portfolio through strategic acquisitions at favorable prices, where IRSA CP believes IRSA CP can bring the necessary expertise to enhance property values. In order to pursue acquisitions, IRSA CP may require capital or debt financing. Recent disruptions in the financial markets may adversely impact IRSA CP’s ability to refinance existing debt and the availability and cost of credit in the future. Any consideration of sales of existing properties or portfolio interests may be offset by lower property values. IRSA CP’s ability to make scheduled payments or to refinance IRSA CP’s existing debt obligations depends on IRSA CP’s operating and financial performance, which in turn is subject to prevailing economic conditions. If disruptions in financial markets prevail or arise in the future, IRSA CP cannot provide assurances that government responses to such disruptions will restore investor confidence, stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of credit.
 
As of September 2021; Evergrande, one of the biggest chinese real estate company, announced that it would not be able to pay its debt obligations. Since then, markets have been affected negatively by the announcement. As of the date of this prospectus, chinese government is assisting IRSA CP in order to neutralize a high impact in the global economy.
 
IRSA CP’s revenue and profit may be materially and adversely affected by continuing inflation and economic activity in Argentina.
 
IRSA CP’s business is mainly driven by consumer spending since a portion of the revenue from IRSA CP’s Shopping Mall segment derives directly from the sales of IRSA CP’s tenants, whose revenue relies on the sales to consumers. As a result, IRSA CP’s revenue and net income are impacted to a significant extent by economic conditions in Argentina, including the development in the textile industry and domestic consumption, which has experienced significant decline during 2019, 2020 and 2021. Consumer spending is influenced by many factors beyond IRSA CP’s control, including consumer perception of current and future economic conditions, inflation, political uncertainty, rates of employment, interest rates, taxation and currency exchange rates. Any continuing economic slowdown, whether actual or perceived, could significantly reduce domestic consumer spending in Argentina and therefore adversely affect IRSA CP’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
The loss of tenants could adversely affect IRSA CP’s operating revenue and value of IRSA CP’s properties.
 
Although no single tenant represents more than 6.2% of IRSA CP’s revenue in any fiscal year, if a significant number of tenants at IRSA CP’s retail or office properties were to experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn of business, or if IRSA CP failed to retain them, IRSA CP’s business could be adversely affected. Further, IRSA CP’s shopping malls typically have a significant “anchor” tenant, such as well-known department stores, that generate consumer traffic at each mall. A decision by such tenants to cease operating at any of IRSA CP’s shopping mall properties could have a material adverse effect on IRSA CP’s financial condition and the results of IRSA CP’s operations. In addition, the closing of one or more stores that attract consumer traffic may motivate other tenants to terminate or to not renew their leases, to seek rent concessions and/or close their stores. Moreover, tenants at one or more properties might terminate their leases as a result of mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, dispositions or bankruptcies. The bankruptcy and/or closure of multiple stores, if IRSA CP is not able to successfully release the affected space, could have a material adverse effect on both the operating revenue and underlying value of the properties involved.

IRSA CP may face risks associated with acquisitions of properties.
 
As part of IRSA CP’s growth strategy, IRSA CP has acquired, and intends to do so in the future, properties, including large properties (such as Edificio República, Abasto de Buenos Aires and Alto Palermo Shopping), that tend to increase the size of IRSA CP’s operations and potentially alter IRSA CP’s capital structure. Although IRSA CP believes that the acquisitions IRSA CP has completed in the past and that IRSA CP expects to undertake enhance IRSA CP’s financial performance, the success of such transactions is subject to a number of uncertainties, including the risk that:
 
IRSA CP may not be able to obtain financing for acquisitions on favorable terms;
 
acquired properties may fail to perform as expected;
 
the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than IRSA CP’s estimates;
 
acquired properties may be located in new markets where IRSA CP may have limited knowledge and understanding of the local economy, absence of business relationships in the area or are unfamiliar with local governmental and permitting procedures; and
 
IRSA CP may not be able to efficiently integrate acquired properties, particularly portfolios of properties, into IRSA CP’s organization and to manage new properties in a way that allow IRSA CP to realize cost savings and synergies.
 
IRSA CP’s future acquisitions may not be profitable.
 
IRSA CP seeks to acquire additional shopping malls to the extent IRSA CP manages to acquire them on favorable terms and conditions and they meet IRSA CP’s investment criteria. Acquisitions of commercial properties entail general investment risks associated with any real estate investment, including:
 
IRSA CP’s estimates of the cost of improvements needed to bring the property up to established standards for the market may prove to be inaccurate;
 
Properties IRSA CP acquires may fail to achieve, within the time frames IRSA CP project, the occupancy or rental rates IRSA CP expects to achieve at the time IRSA CP makes the decision to acquire, which may result in the properties’ failure to achieve the returns IRSA CP projected;
 
IRSA CP’s pre-acquisition evaluation and the physical condition of each new investment may not detect certain defects or identify necessary repairs, which could significantly increase IRSA CP’s total acquisition costs; and
 
IRSA CP’s investigation of a property or building prior to its acquisition, and any representations IRSA CP may receive from the seller of such building or property, may fail to reveal various liabilities, which could reduce the cash flow from the property or increase IRSA CP’s acquisition cost.
 
If IRSA CP acquires a business, IRSA CP will be required to merge and integrate the operations, personnel, accounting and information systems of such acquired business. In addition, acquisitions of or investments in companies may cause disruptions in IRSA CP’s operations and divert management’s attention away from day-to-day operations, which could impair IRSA CP’s relationships with IRSA CP’s current tenants and employees.
 
 
47
 
 
The properties IRSA CP acquires may be subject to unknown liabilities.
 
The properties that IRSA CP acquires may be subject to unknown liabilities, in respect to which IRSA CP may have limited or no recourse to the former owners. If a liability were asserted against IRSA CP based on IRSA CP’s ownership of an acquired property, IRSA CP may be required to incur significant expenditures to settle, which could adversely affect IRSA CP’s financial results and cash flow. Unknown liabilities relating to acquired properties could include:
 
liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination;
 
the costs of changes in laws or in governmental regulations (such as those governing usage, zoning and real property taxes); and
 
liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business.
 
IRSA CP’s dependence on rental income may adversely affect IRSA CP’s ability to meet IRSA CP’s debt obligations.
 
A substantial part of IRSA CP’s revenue is derived from rental income. As a result, IRSA CP’s performance depends on IRSA CP’s ability to collect rent from IRSA CP’s tenants. IRSA CP’s revenue and profits would be negatively affected if a significant number of IRSA CP’s tenants or any significant tenant were to:
 
delay lease commencements;
 
decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration;
 
fail to make rental payments when due; or
 
close stores or declare bankruptcy.
 
Any of these actions could result in the termination of leases and the loss of related rental income. In addition, IRSA CP cannot assure that any tenant whose lease expires will renew that lease or that IRSA CP will be able to re-let the space on economically reasonable terms. The loss of rental revenue from a number of IRSA CP’s tenants and IRSA CP’s inability to replace such tenants may adversely affect IRSA CP’s profitability and IRSA CP’s ability to comply with IRSA CP’s debt service obligations. These factors are particularly disruptive in the context of emergency situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused significant adverse impacts on IRSA CP’s business as tenants have been required to shut down or significantly reduce their operating activities.
 
It may be difficult to buy and sell real estate quickly and transfer restrictions may apply to part of IRSA CP’s portfolio of properties.
 
Real estate investments are relatively illiquid and this tends to limit IRSA CP’s ability to change the mix of IRSA CP’s portfolio in response to economic circumstances or other conditions. In addition, significant expenditures associated with each investment, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when an investment generates lower revenue. If revenue from a property declines while expenses remain the same, IRSA CP’s results of operations would be adversely affected. Certain properties are mortgaged and if IRSA CP were unable to meet IRSA CP’s underlying payment obligations, IRSA CP could suffer losses as a result of foreclosures on those mortgaged properties. Furthermore, if IRSA CP is required to dispose of one or more of IRSA CP’s mortgaged properties, IRSA CP would not be able to obtain release of the mortgage interest without payment of the associated debt. The foreclosure of a mortgage on a property or inability to sell a property could adversely affect IRSA CP’s business. In this kind of transactions, IRSA CP may agree not to sell the acquired properties for a considerable time which could affect IRSA CP’s results of operations.
 
 
48
 
 
Some of the land IRSA CP has purchased is not zoned for development and IRSA CP may be unable to obtain, or may face delays in obtaining, the necessary zoning permits and other authorizations.
 
IRSA CP owns several plots of land which are not zoned for IRSA CP’s intended development plans. In addition, IRSA CP has not yet applied for the required land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations for these properties. IRSA CP cannot assure that IRSA CP will continue to be successful in IRSA CP’s attempts to rezone land and to obtain all necessary permits and authorizations, or that rezoning efforts and permit requests will not be delayed or rejected. Moreover, IRSA CP may be affected by building moratorium and anti-growth legislation. If IRSA CP is unable to obtain the governmental permits and authorizations IRSA CP needs to develop IRSA CP’s present and future projects as planned, IRSA CP may be forced to make unwanted modifications to such projects or abandon them altogether.
 
IRSA CP’s ability to grow will be limited if IRSA CP cannot obtain additional financing.
 
IRSA CP must maintain liquidity to fund IRSA CP’s working capital, service IRSA CP’s outstanding indebtedness and finance investment opportunities. Without sufficient liquidity, IRSA CP could be forced to curtail IRSA CP’s operations or IRSA CP may not be able to pursue new business opportunities. IRSA CP’s growth strategy is focused on the development and redevelopment of properties IRSA CP already own and the acquisition of additional properties for development. As a result, IRSA CP is likely to have to depend to an important degree on the availability of capital financing, which may or may not be available on favorable terms if at all. IRSA CP cannot assure you that additional financing, refinancing or other capital will be available in the amounts IRSA CP require or on favorable terms. IRSA CP’s access to debt or equity capital markets depends on a number of factors, including the market’s perception of IRSA CP’s growth potential, IRSA CP’s ability to pay dividends, IRSA CP’s financial condition, IRSA CP’s credit rating and IRSA CP’s current and potential future earnings. Depending on these factors, IRSA CP could experience delays or difficulties in implementing IRSA CP’s growth strategy on satisfactory terms or at all.
 
Adverse incidents that occur in IRSA CP’s shopping malls may result in damage to IRSA CP’s reputation and a decrease in the number of customers.
 
Given that IRSA CP’s shopping malls are open to the public, with ample circulation of people, accidents, theft, robbery, public protest, pandemic effects and other incidents may occur in IRSA CP’s facilities, regardless of the preventative measures IRSA CP adopts. If such an incident or series of incidents occurs, shopping mall customers and visitors may choose to visit other shopping venues that they believe are safer, which may cause a reduction in the sales volume and operating income of IRSA CP’s shopping malls.
 
Argentine laws governing leases impose restrictions that limit IRSA CP’s flexibility.
 
Argentine laws governing leases impose certain restrictions, including the following:
 
a prohibition on including automatic price adjustment clauses based on inflation increases in leases; and
 
the imposition of a two-year minimum lease term for all purposes, except in particular cases such as embassy, consulate or international organization venues, room with furniture for touristic purposes for less than three months, custody and bailment of goods, exhibition or offering of goods in fairs or in cases where due to the circumstances, the subject matter of the lease requires a shorter term.
 
As a result, IRSA CP is exposed to the risk of higher rates of inflation under IRSA CP’s leases, and any exercise of rescission rights by IRSA CP’s tenants could materially and adversely affect IRSA CP’s business and results of operations. IRSA CP cannot assure that IRSA CP’s tenants will not exercise such right, especially if rental rates stabilize or decline in the future or if economic conditions continue to deteriorate.
 
 
49
 
 
IRSA CP may be liable for certain defects in IRSA CP’s buildings.
 
The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code imposes liability for real estate developers, builders, technical project managers and architects in case of hidden defects in a property for a period of three years from the date title on the property is tendered to the purchaser, even when those defects did not cause significant property damage. If any defect affects the structural soundness or make the property unfit for use, the liability term is ten years.
 
In IRSA CP’s real estate developments, IRSA CP usually acts as developers and sellers while construction generally is carried out by third party contractors. Absent a specific claim, IRSA CP cannot quantify the potential cost of any obligation that may arise as a result of a future claim, and IRSA CP has not recorded provisions associated with them in IRSA CP’s financial statements. If IRSA CP was required to remedy any defects on completed works, IRSA CP’s financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
 
IRSA CP could have losses if IRSA CP has to resort to eviction proceedings in Argentina to collect unpaid rent because such proceedings are complex and time-consuming.
 
Although Argentine law permits filing of an executive proceeding to collect unpaid rent and a special proceeding to evict tenants, eviction proceedings in Argentina are complex and time-consuming. Historically, the heavy workloads of the courts and the numerous procedural steps required have generally delayed landlords’ efforts to evict tenants. Eviction proceedings generally take between six months and two years from the date of filing of the suit to the time of actual eviction.
 
Historically, IRSA CP has sought to negotiate the termination of leases with defaulting tenants after the first few months of non-payment in an effort to avoid legal proceedings. Delinquency may increase significantly in the future, and such negotiations with tenants may not be as successful as they have been in the past. Moreover, new Argentine laws and regulations may forbid or restrict eviction, and in each such case they would likely have a material and adverse effect on IRSA CP’s financial condition and results of operations.
 
Climate change may have adverse effects on IRSA CP’s business
 
IRSA CP, IRSA CP’s customers, and communities in which IRSA CP operates, may be adversely affected by the physical risks of climate change, including increases in temperatures, sea levels, and the frequency and severity of adverse climatic events including fires, storms, floods and droughts. These effects, whether acute or chronic in nature, may directly impact IRSA CP and its customers through disruptions to business and economic activity or impacts on income and asset values.
 
Initiatives to mitigate or respond to climate change may impact market and asset prices, economic activity, and customer behavior, particularly in emissions intensive industry sectors and geographies affected by these changes.
 
Failure to effectively manage and disclose these risks could adversely affect IRSA CP’s business, prospects, reputation, financial performance or financial condition.
 
The recurrence of a credit crisis could have a negative impact on IRSA CP’s major customers, which in turn could materially adversely affect IRSA CP’s results of operations and liquidity.
 
The global credit crisis has a significant negative impact on businesses around the world. Similarly, Argentina is undergoing a credit crisis that could negatively impact IRSA CP’s tenants’ ability to comply with their lease obligations. The impact of a future credit crisis on IRSA CP’s major tenants cannot be predicted and may be quite severe. A disruption in the ability of IRSA CP’s significant tenants to access liquidity could pose serious disruptions or an overall deterioration of their businesses, which could lead to a significant reduction in future orders of their products and their inability or failure to comply with their obligations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on IRSA CP’s results of operations and liquidity.
 
 
50
 
 
IRSA CP is subject to risks inherent to the operation of office buildings that may affect IRSA CP’s profitability.
 
Office buildings are exposed to various factors that may affect their development, administration and profitability, including the following factors:
 
lower demand for office space;
 
a deterioration in the financial condition of IRSA CP’s tenants that causes defaults under leases due to lack of liquidity, access to capital or for other reasons;
 
difficulties or delays renewing leases or re-leasing space;
 
decreases in rents as a result of oversupply, particularly offerings at newer or re-developed properties;
 
competition from developers, owners and operators of office properties and other commercial real estate, including sublease space available from IRSA CP’s tenants;
 
maintenance, repair and renovation costs incurred to maintain the competitiveness of IRSA CP’s office buildings;
 
exchange controls that may interfere with their ability to pay rents that generally are pegged to the U.S. dollar;
 
the consequences of a pandemic, epidemic or disease outbreak that would produce lower demand for offices spaces; and
 
an increase in IRSA CP’s operating costs, caused by inflation or by other factors could have a material adverse effect on us if IRSA CP’s tenants are unable to pay higher rent as a result of increased expenses.
 
IRSA CP’s investment in property development and management activities may be less profitable than IRSA CP anticipates.
 
IRSA CP is engaged in the development and construction of properties to be used for office, residential or commercial purposes, shopping malls and residential complexes, in general through third-party contractors. Risks associated with IRSA CP’s development, reconversion and construction activities include the following, among others:
 
abandonment of development opportunities and renovation proposals;
 
construction costs may exceed IRSA CP’s estimates for reasons including higher interest rates or increases in the cost of materials and labor, making a project unprofitable;
 
occupancy rates and rents at newly completed properties may fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, resulting in lower than projected rental revenue and a corresponding lower return on IRSA CP’s investment;
 
pre-construction buyers may default on their purchase contracts or units in new buildings may remain unsold upon completion of construction;
 
lack of affordable financing alternatives in the private and public debt markets;
 
sale prices of residential units may be insufficient to cover development costs;
 
 
51
 
 
construction and lease commencements may not be completed on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs;
 
failure or delays in obtaining necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations, or building moratoria and anti-growth legislation;
 
significant time lags between the commencement and completion of projects subjects IRSA CP to greater risks due to fluctuation in the general economy;
 
construction may be delayed because of a number of factors, including weather, strikes or delays in receipt of zoning or other regulatory approvals, or man-made or natural disasters, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs;
 
changes in IRSA CP’s tenants’ demand for rental properties outside of Buenos Aires; and
 
IRSA CP may incur capital expenditures that require considerable time and effort and which may never be completed due to government restrictions or overall market conditions.
 
In addition, IRSA CP may face claims for the enforcement of labor laws in Argentina. Many companies hire personnel from third-parties that provide outsourced services, and sign indemnity agreements if labor claims from employees of such third company arise. However, in recent years several courts have rejected the existence of independence in those labor relations and ruled that joint and several responsibility by both companies.
 
IRSA CP is subject to risks associated with property development, such as cost overruns, design changes and timing delays arising from a lack of availability of materials and labor, weather conditions and other factors outside of IRSA CP’s control, as well as financing costs that, may exceed original estimates, possibly making the associated investment unprofitable. Any delays or unanticipated expenses could adversely affect the investment returns from these development projects and harm IRSA CP’s operating results.
 
Greater than expected increases in construction costs could adversely affect the profitability of IRSA CP’s new developments.
 
IRSA CP’s businesses activities include real estate developments. One of the main risks related to this activity corresponds to potential increases in constructions costs, which may be driven by higher demand and new development projects in the shopping malls and buildings sectors. Increases higher than those included in the original budget may result in lower profitability than expected.
 
The increasingly competitive real estate sector in Argentina may adversely affect IRSA CP’s ability to rent or sell office space and other real estate and may affect the sale and lease price of IRSA CP’s premises.
 
IRSA CP’s real estate activities are highly concentrated in the Buenos Aires metropolitan area where the market is highly competitive due to a scarcity of properties in sought-after locations and an increasing number of local and international competitors. The Argentine real estate industry is highly competitive and fragmented and does not have high barriers to entry for new competitors. The main competitive factors in the real estate development business include availability and location of land, price, funding, design, quality, reputation and partnerships with developers. A number of residential and commercial developers and real estate service companies compete in identifying land acquisition opportunities, attracting financial resources, and appealing to prospective purchasers and tenants. Other companies, including joint ventures of foreign and local companies, have become increasingly active in the market, further increasing competition. If one or more of IRSA CP’s competitors is able to acquire and develop desirable properties, because it has access to greater financial resources or otherwise, if IRSA CP is unable to respond to such pressures as promptly as IRSA CP’s competitors, or competition increases, IRSA CP’s business and financial condition could be adversely affected.
 
 
52
 
 
All of IRSA CP’s shopping mall and commercial office properties are located in Argentina. There are other shopping malls and independent retail stores and residential properties that are within the geographic scope of each of IRSA CP’s properties. The number of competing properties in a particular area could have a material adverse effect both on IRSA CP’s ability to lease retail space in IRSA CP’s shopping malls or sell units in IRSA CP’s residential complexes and on the amount of rent or the sale price that IRSA CP is able to charge. IRSA CP cannot assure that other shopping mall operators will not invest in Argentina in the near future. If additional competitors become active in the shopping mall segment, such competition could have a material adverse effect on IRSA CP’s results of operations.
 
Substantially all of IRSA CP’s offices and other non-shopping mall rental properties are located in developed urban areas. There are many office buildings, shopping malls, retail and residential premises in the areas where IRSA CP’s properties are located. This is a highly fragmented market, and the abundance of comparable properties in IRSA CP’s vicinity may adversely affect IRSA CP’s ability to rent or sell office space and other real estate and may affect the sale and lease price of IRSA CP’s premises. In the future, both national and foreign companies may participate in Argentina’s real estate development market, competing with us for business opportunities.
 
Some potential losses are not covered by insurance and certain kinds of insurance coverage may become prohibitively expensive.
 
IRSA CP currently carries insurance policies that cover potential risks such as civil liability, fire, lost profit and floods, including extended coverage and losses from leases on all of IRSA CP’s properties. Although IRSA CP believes the policy specifications and insured limits of these policies are customary, there are certain types of losses, such as lease and other contract claims, terrorism and acts of war that generally are not insured under the insurance policies offered in Argentina. In the event of a loss that was not insured or a loss in excess of insured limits, IRSA CP could lose all or a portion of the capital IRSA CP have invested in a property, as well as its anticipated future revenue. In such an event, IRSA CP might nevertheless remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property. IRSA CP cannot assure that material losses in excess of insurance proceeds will not occur in the future. If any of IRSA CP’s properties were to experience a catastrophic loss, it could seriously disrupt IRSA CP’s operations, delay revenue and result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Insurance companies may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses, such as losses due to terrorist acts and the existence of mold, or, if offered, these types of insurance may become too expensive.
 
IRSA CP do not have life or disability insurance for IRSA CP’s key employees. If any of IRSA CP’s key employees were to die or become disabled, IRSA CP could experience losses caused by a disruption in IRSA CP’s operations which will not be covered by insurance, and this could have a material adverse effect on IRSA CP’s financial condition and results of operations.
 
An uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds policy limits could subject IRSA CP to lost capital or revenue on those properties.
 
The terms of IRSA CP’s standard form property leases currently in effect, require tenants to indemnify and hold IRSA CP harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons or property at or outside the premises, due to activities conducted on the properties, except for claims arising from negligence or intentional misconduct of IRSA CP’s agents. Tenants are generally required, at the tenant’s expense, to obtain and keep in full force during the term of the lease, liability insurance policies. IRSA CP cannot provide assurance that IRSA CP’s tenants will be able to properly maintain their insurance policies or have the ability to pay deductibles. If an uninsured loss occurs or a loss arises that exceeds the combined aggregate limits for the policies, or if a loss arises that is subject to a substantial deductible under an insurance policy, IRSA CP could lose all or part of IRSA CP’s capital invested in, and anticipated revenue from, one or more of IRSA CP’s properties, which could have a material adverse effect on IRSA CP’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
 
53
 
 
Demand for IRSA CP’s premium properties, aimed at high-income consumers, may not be sufficient.
 
IRSA CP has focused on development projects that cater to affluent consumers and IRSA CP has entered into property barter arrangements pursuant to which IRSA CP contributes undeveloped land parcels to joint venture entities with developers who agree to deliver units at premium development locations in exchange for IRSA CP’s land contribution. When the developers return these properties to IRSA CP, demand for premium residential units could be significantly lower. In such case, IRSA CP would be unable to sell these residential units at the estimated prices or time frame, which could have an adverse effect on IRSA CP’s financial condition and results of operations.
 
IRSA CP’s level of debt may adversely affect IRSA CP’s operations and IRSA CP’s ability to pay IRSA CP’s debt as it becomes due.
 
 
IRSA CP had, and expects to have, substantial liquidity and capital resource requirements to finance IRSA CP’s business. As of June 30, 2021, IRSA CP’s consolidated financial debt amounted to ARS 42,922 million, including accrued and unpaid interest and deferred financing costs. Although IRSA CP generates sufficient funds from IRSA CP’s operating cash flows to meet IRSA CP’s debt service obligations and IRSA CP’s ability to obtain new financing is adequate, considering the current limited availability of loan financing in Argentina, IRSA CP cannot assure that IRSA CP will have sufficient cash flows and adequate financial structure in the future. On September 15, 2020, Communication “A” 7,106 established that companies must refinance maturities of financial debt capital in the period from October 15, 2020 to March 31, 2021. In this sense, the Argentine Central Bank will give access to companies for less than 40% of maturities and companies must refinance the rest within at least two years. For more information see. “Exchange Controls.”
 
The success of IRSA CP’s business and the feasibility of IRSA CP’s transactions depend on the continuity of investments in the real estate markets and IRSA CP’s ability to access capital and debt financing. In the long-term, lack of confidence in real estate investments and lack of access to credit for acquisitions could restrict growth. As part of IRSA CP’s business strategy, IRSA CP will strive to increase IRSA CP’s real estate portfolio through strategic acquisitions of properties at favorable prices and properties with added value which IRSA CP believes meet the requirements to increase the value of IRSA CP’s properties.
 
IRSA CP may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy IRSA CP’s debt service requirements or to obtain future financing. If IRSA CP cannot satisfy IRSA CP’s debt service requirements or if IRSA CP default on any financial or other covenants in IRSA CP’s debt arrangements, the lenders and/or holders of IRSA CP’s securities will be able to accelerate the maturity of such debt or default under other debt arrangements. IRSA CP’s ability to service debt obligations or to refinance them will depend upon IRSA CP’s future financial and operating performance, which will, in part, be subject to factors beyond IRSA CP’s control such as macroeconomic conditions and regulatory changes in Argentina. If IRSA CP cannot obtain future financing, IRSA CP may have to delay or abandon some or all of IRSA CP’s planned capital expenditures, which could adversely affect IRSA CP’s ability to generate cash flows and repay IRSA CP’s obligations as they become due.
 
 
54
 
 
The shift by consumers to purchasing goods over the internet, where barriers to entry are low, may negatively affect sales at IRSA CP’s shopping malls.
 
In recent years, internet retail sales have grown significantly in Argentina, even though the market share of such sales is still modest. The Internet enables manufacturers and retailers to sell directly to consumers, diminishing the importance of traditional distribution channels such as retail stores and shopping malls. IRSA CP believes that IRSA CP’s target consumers are increasingly using the Internet, from home, work or elsewhere, to shop electronically for retail goods, and this trend is likely to continue. Retailers at IRSA CP’s properties face increasing competition from online sales and this could cause the termination or non-renewal of their leases or a reduction in their gross sales, affecting IRSA CP’s percentage rent based revenue. If e commerce and retail sales through the Internet continue to grow, retailers’ and consumers’ reliance on IRSA CP’s shopping malls could be materially diminished, having a material adverse effect on IRSA CP’s financial condition, results of operations and business prospects.
 
IRSA CP’s business is subject to extensive regulation and additional regulations may be imposed in the future.
 
IRSA CP’s activities are subject to Argentine federal, state and municipal laws, and to regulations, authorizations and licenses required with respect to construction, zoning, use of the soil, environmental protection and historical landmark preservation, consumer protection, antitrust and other requirements, all of which affect IRSA CP’s ability to acquire land, buildings and shopping malls, develop and build projects and negotiate with customers. In addition, companies in this industry are subject to increasing tax rates, the introduction of new taxes and changes in the taxation regime. IRSA CP is required to obtain permits from different government agencies in order to carry out IRSA CP’s projects. Maintaining IRSA CP’s licenses and authorizations can be costly. If IRSA CP fail to comply with such laws, regulations, licenses and authorizations, IRSA CP may face fines, project shutdowns, and cancellation of licenses and revocation of authorizations.
 
In addition, public agencies may issue new and stricter standards, or enforce or construe existing laws and regulations in a more restrictive manner, which may force us to incur expenditures in order to comply. Development activities are also subject to risks of potential delays in or an inability to obtain all necessary zoning, environmental, land-use, development, building, occupancy and other permits and authorizations. Any such delays or failures to obtain such government approvals may have an adverse effect on IRSA CP’s business.
 
In the past, the Argentine government regulations regarding leases in response to housing shortages, high rates of inflation and difficulties in accessing credit. Such regulations limited or prohibited increases on rental prices and prohibited eviction of tenants, even for failure to pay rent. Most of IRSA CP’s leases provide that tenants pay all costs and taxes related to their respective leased areas. In the event of a significant increase in such costs and taxes, the Argentine government may respond to political pressure to intervene by regulating this practice, thereby negatively affecting IRSA CP’s rental income. IRSA CP cannot assure that the Argentine government will not impose similar or other regulations in the future. Changes in existing laws or the enactment of new laws governing the ownership, operation or leasing of shopping malls and office properties in Argentina could negatively affect the real estate and the rental market and materially and adversely affect IRSA CP’s operations and financial condition.
 
IRSA CP is dependent on IRSA CP’s Chairman, Eduardo Sergio Elsztain, IRSA CP’s Board of Directors and IRSA CP’s controlling shareholder IRSA.
 
IRSA CP’s success, to a significant extent, depends on the continued employment of Eduardo Sergio Elsztain and certain other members of IRSA CP’s Board of Directors and senior management, who have significant expertise and knowledge of IRSA CP’s business and industry. The loss or interruption of their services for any reason could have a material adverse effect on IRSA CP’s business and results of operations. IRSA CP’s future success also depends in part upon IRSA CP’s ability to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel. IRSA CP cannot assure that IRSA CP will be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel, or that any of IRSA CP’s personnel will remain employed by IRSA CP.

Further, IRSA CP believe that IRSA CP’s success also depends, to a significant extent, on the continued success of IRSA which owns approximately 79.9% of IRSA CP’s outstanding shares as of June 30, 2021. IRSA is engaged in a range of real estate, investment and other business activities, many of which are different from IRSA CP’s business, including IRSA’s significant investments in Banco Hipotecario, an Argentine bank.. As a result, IRSA is exposed to certain important risks, as described in IRSA CP Audited Financial Statements and its filings with the SEC, which under certain circumstances could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and business prospects. IRSA CP cannot assure that IRSA will not be adversely affected by the risks that it faces (including those relating to its investments in Banco Hipotecario), and IRSA CP believes that if IRSA were to be so affected, the market perception of the group of companies controlled by Eduardo Sergio Elsztain, including IRSA CP, could be adversely affected as well.
 
Labor relations may negatively impact IRSA CP
 
As of June 30, 2021, 44.2% of IRSA CP’s workforce was represented by unions under collective bargaining agreements. Although IRSA CP currently enjoys good relations with IRSA CP’s employees and their unions, IRSA CP cannot assure that labor relations will continue to be positive or that deterioration in labor relations will not materially and adversely affect IRSA CP.
 
IRSA CP’s results of operations include unrealized revaluation adjustments on investment properties, which may fluctuate significantly over financial periods and may materially and adversely affect IRSA CP’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
During the year ended June 30, 2021, IRSA CP had fair value loss on investment properties of ARS 13,946 million. Although the upward or downward revaluation adjustments reflect unrealized capital gains or losses on IRSA CP’s investment properties during the relevant periods, the adjustments do not reflect the actual cash flow or profit generated from the sales or rental of IRSA CP’s investment properties. Unless such investment properties are disposed of at similarly revalued amounts, IRSA CP will not realize the actual cash flow. The amount of revaluation adjustments has been, and will continue to be, significantly affected by the prevailing property markets and will be subject to market fluctuations in those markets.
 
IRSA CP cannot guarantee whether changes in market conditions will increase, maintain or decrease the historical average fair value gains on IRSA CP’s investment properties or at all. In addition, the fair value of IRSA CP’s investment properties may materially differ from the amount IRSA CP receive from any actual sale of an investment property. If there is any material downward adjustment in the revaluation of IRSA CP’s investment properties in the future or if IRSA CP’s investment properties are disposed of at significantly lower prices than their valuation or appraised value, IRSA CP’s business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
 
 
56
 
 
Due to the currency mismatches between IRSA CP’s assets and liabilities, IRSA CP has high currency exposure.
 
As of June 30, 2021, the majority of IRSA CP’s liabilities, such as IRSA CP’s Series 2, were denominated in U.S. dollars while IRSA CP’s revenue are mainly denominated in pesos. This currency gap and restrictions to access to foreign exchange markets to acquire the required U.S. dollars to pay IRSA CP’s U.S. dollar denominated debt, exposes IRSA CP to a risk of volatility, which circumstances may adversely affect IRSA CP’s financial results if the U.S. dollar appreciates against the peso and may affected IRSA CP’s ability to IRSA CP’s U.S. dollar denominated debt. Any depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar increases the nominal amount of IRSA CP’s debt in pesos, which further adversely affects IRSA CP’s results of operation and financial condition and may increase the collection risk of IRSA CP’s leases and other receivables from IRSA CP’s tenants and mortgagees, most of which generate peso denominated revenue.
 
IRSA CP issues debt in the local and international capital markets as one of IRSA CP’s main sources of funding and IRSA CP’s capacity to successfully access the local and international markets on favorable terms affects IRSA CP’s cost of funding.
 
IRSA CP’s ability to successfully access the local and international capital markets on acceptable terms depends largely on capital markets conditions prevailing in Argentina and internationally. IRSA CP has no control over capital markets conditions, which can be volatile and unpredictable. If IRSA CP is unable to issue debt in the local and/or international capital markets and on terms acceptable to IRSA CP, whether as a result of regulations and foreign exchange restrictions, a deterioration in capital markets conditions or otherwise, IRSA CP would likely be compelled to seek alternatives for funding, which may include short-term or more expensive funding sources. If this was to happen, IRSA CP may be unable to fund IRSA CP’s liquidity needs at competitive costs and IRSA CP’s business results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.
 
Property ownership through joint ventures or investees may limit IRSA CP’s ability to act exclusively in IRSA CP’s interest.
 
IRSA CP develops and acquires properties in joint ventures with other persons or entities or make minority investments in entities when IRSA CP believes circumstances warrant the use of such structures. For example, IRSA CP currently owns 50% of Quality Invest S.A. (“Quality Invest”), a joint venture that holds IRSA CP’s investment in the Nobleza Piccardo plant. IRSA CP could engage in a dispute with one or more of IRSA CP’s joint venture partners or controlling shareholder in an investment that might affect IRSA CP’s ability to operate a jointly-owned property. Moreover, IRSA CP’s joint venture partners or controlling shareholder in an investment may, at any time, have business, economic or other objectives that are inconsistent with IRSA CP’s objectives, including objectives that relate to the timing and terms of any sale or refinancing of a property. For example, the approval of certain of IRSA CP’s investors is required with respect to operating budgets and refinancing, encumbering, expanding or selling any of these properties. In some instances, IRSA CP’s joint venture partners or controlling shareholder in an investment may have competing interests in their markets that could create conflicts of interest. If the objectives of IRSA CP’s joint venture partners or controlling shareholder in an investment are inconsistent with IRSA CP’s own objectives, IRSA CP will not be able to act exclusively in IRSA CP’s interests.
 
If one or more of the investors in any of IRSA CP’s jointly owned properties were to experience financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn of business, there could be an adverse effect on the relevant property or properties and in turn, on IRSA CP’s financial performance. Should a joint venture partner or controlling shareholder in an investment declare bankruptcy, IRSA CP could be liable for IRSA CP’s partner’s common share of joint venture liabilities or liabilities of the investment vehicle.

THE MERGER
 
The following is a description of the material aspects of the Merger. While we believe that the following description covers the material terms of the Merger, the description may not contain all the information that is important to you. We encourage you to read carefully this entire prospectus, including the Preliminary Merger Agreement, a copy of which is incorporated by reference to this prospectus, for a more complete understanding of the Merger.
 
Overview
 
The Merger is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Preliminary Merger Agreement. On September 30, 2021, each of the Boards of Directors of IRSA CP and IRSA approved the Preliminary Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. At the effective time of the Merger, IRSA CP will merge into IRSA by way of absorption by IRSA of IRSA CP, without liquidation of IRSA CP. The surviving company will continue to be known as “IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima.” IRSA CP shareholders will receive the Merger consideration upon the terms set forth in the Preliminary Merger Agreement and as further described under “The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration.”
 
Upon consummation of the Merger described in this prospectus, IRSA CP will cease to exist, IRSA will assume all of the rights and obligations of IRSA CP, and the holders of IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs other than us will receive IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs, respectively, in exchange therefor. Any IRSA CP Securities owned by us will not be exchanged for IRSA Securities and will be cancelled in connection with the consummation of the Merger. Therefore, if the Merger is consummated, holders of IRSA CP Shares and/or IRSA CP ADSs will cease to have any equity interest in IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
If the Merger is not consummated, holders of IRSA CP Securities will remain holders of IRSA CP Shares or IRSA CP ADSs, as the case may be. Currently, there are 471,121,146 IRSA CP Shares (87% of the total IRSA CP Shares) and 17,527,218 IRSA CP ADSs (13% of the total IRSA CP Shares) in public circulation.
 
Background of the Merger
 
Applicable Legal Framework
 
The Merger will be implemented in accordance with Sections 82 and 83 and the remaining applicable provisions of the Argentine Corporations Law, Section 77 et seq. of the Argentine Income Tax Law, and applicable rules from the CNV and ByMA.
 
Preliminary Merger Agreement
 
On September 30, 2021, the Boards of Directors of the Companies approved the execution of the Preliminary Merger Agreement and the filing with the CNV and ByMA of the prior authorization request for the Merger by filing, among other documentation, a form of reorganization prospectus (prospecto de fusión).
 
The following summary describes the material provisions of the Preliminary Merger Agreement, a complete translated copy of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Preliminary Merger Agreement and may not contain all the information about the Preliminary Merger Agreement that is important to you.

The Merger: IRSA CP will merge into IRSA, by way of absorption by IRSA of IRSA CP, without liquidation of IRSA CP, IRSA assuming, by universal succession, the rights and obligations of IRSA CP. The surviving company will continue to be known as “IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima.”
 
Purpose of the Merger: The purpose of the Merger for the merging companies is based on the advantages of simplifying the corporate structure of IRSA and IRSA CP and eliminating the tiered corporate structure, which involves unnecessary costs.
 
Accounting Information for the Merger: The Preliminary Merger Agreement incorporated the special purpose separate statement of financial position of IRSA and IRSA CP as of June 30, 2021, and the Special Statement of Financial Position of the Merger as of June 30, 2021 and included within the Preliminary Merger Agreement attached to this prospectus as Annex A, each prepared on a consistent basis with similar evaluation criteria as provided by Section 83 of the Argentine Corporations Law, which shall be considered and approved by the extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings of IRSA and IRSA CP which shall be called to consider the Merger.
 
Merger Effective Date: The Merger Effectiveness Date is July 1, 2021. From that date the two companies began to act as only one entity for Argentine tax purposes.
 
Management of IRSA CP: From the date of the respective extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings of IRSA CP and IRSA approving the Merger and until the definitive merger agreement is registered with the Public Registry of Commerce (when the final dissolution without liquidation of IRSA CP takes place), the IRSA Board of Directors shall be responsible for the management and administration of IRSA CP’ assets and liabilities, and those who previously exercised such management duties (i.e., directors, managers, officers, etc.) shall be suspended. From the Merger Effectiveness Date, IRSA shall act on its own account in every administrative act performed on behalf of IRSA CP, and all income, losses and consequences of the acts undertaken shall be attributed to IRSA. Every act executed and carried out by IRSA CP from the Merger Effectiveness Date forward shall be executed and carried out by IRSA, but will be considered executed on account and by the order of IRSA CP in the event that the definitive merger agreement is not entered into for any reason whatsoever.
 
Merger Exchange Ratios:
 
o
Share Exchange Ratio: a holder of IRSA CP Shares will receive 1.40 newly-issued IRSA Shares for each IRSA CP Share.
 
o
ADS Exchange Ratio: a holder of IRSA CP ADSs, each representing ten IRSA CP Shares, will receive 0.56 newly-issued IRSA GDSs, each representing four IRSA Shares, for each IRSA CP ADS.
 
No fractional IRSA GDSs will be issued. Fractional entitlements to IRSA GDSs will be aggregated and sold by the IRSA GDS Depositary subject to the terms of the IRSA Deposit Agreement. The net proceeds from the sale of the fractional entitlements to IRSA GDSs will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of the IRSA GDSs.
 
 
62
 
 
Capital Increase: As a consequence of the assumption of all the assets and liabilities of IRSA CP and the Merger Exchange Ratios, the corporate capital of IRSA will be increased in the amount of ARS 152,158,215 from the amount of ARS 658,676,460 to the amount of ARS 810,834,675 through the issuance of 152,158,215 IRSA Shares.
 
Issuance of IRSA Shares: The cancellation of IRSA CP Securities and the exchange of IRSA CP Securities (other than those held by us) for newly issued IRSA Securities as a consequence of the Merger will take place once the definitive merger agreement is registered with the Public Registry of Commerce.
 
Applicable legal framework: The Merger is carried out pursuant to the provisions of Sections 82 to 87 of the Argentine Corporations Law, the CNV regulations and the regulations of the Public Registry of Commerce. The Merger is also carried on as a tax-exempted corporate reorganization within the frame-work set forth by Articles 77 and 78 of the Income Tax Law and other Argentine tax regulations.
 
Pursuant to Section I, Chapter X, Title II of the CNV Rules, (approved by CNV Resolution 622/2013), when a public company decides to merge with another company (public or not), it is required to make a filing with the CNV at least 30 business days prior to the date of the shareholders’ meeting that will consider and approve the Merger. The filing consists of a prospectus describing the Merger that shall contain, among other items:
 
a description of the shares that will be issued in exchange for the shares of the absorbed company; form of the shares; exchange ratio and conditions of the exchange, grounds for the determination of the exchange ratio and a certification of an independent auditor regarding the exchange ratio;
 
a decision to request the public offering of the new shares;
 
an explanation about the reasons of the Merger and business, economic and financial impact of the Merger in the absorbing and absorbed company;
 
the limitations agreed by the merging companies regarding the administration and management of the business and their granting of guarantees for fulfillment of normal activity during the time which will elapse until the Merger is registered;
 
a draft of amendment to the corporate bylaws of the absorbing company (if necessary); and
 
a special purpose unconsolidated statement of financial position for the Merger from each company, and consolidated statement of financial position, prepared pursuant to Section 83 of the Argentine Corporations Law and the accounting standards and regulations of the CNV.
 
 
63
 
 
Effectiveness of the Merger
 
On                 , 20    , the IRSA Board of Directors and IRSA CP Boards of Directors each will call an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting to vote upon the proposed Merger. All holders of the IRSA CP Securities, and all holders of the IRSA Securities, respectively, shall be entitled to vote upon the Merger, with one vote allocated per share held.
 
At the extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings the following matters shall be specifically considered and approved:
 
IRSA
 
Approval of the Merger whereby IRSA CP shall merge into IRSA by way of absorption by IRSA of IRSA CP without liquidation of IRSA CP, as contemplated by (i) the preliminary Merger agreement executed by IRSA CP and IRSA, following the announcement of the Merger in the Argentine Official Gazette and a major Argentine newspaper, and (ii) the special purpose separate statement of financial position;
 
approval of the Merger Exchange Ratios;
 
the capital increase to issue shares to be delivered to the shareholders of IRSA CP in exchange for IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs;
 
the authorization to execute and deliver the definitive merger agreement on behalf of IRSA; and
 
the authorization to carry out all the actions necessary to comply with the Merger.
 
IRSA CP
 
Approval of the Merger whereby IRSA CP shall merge into IRSA by way of absorption by IRSA of IRSA CP without liquidation of IRSA CP, as contemplated by (i) the preliminary Merger agreement executed by IRSA CP and IRSA, following the announcement of the Merger in the Argentine Official Gazette and a major Argen-tine newspaper, and (ii) the special purpose separate statement of financial position;
 
approval of the Merger Exchange Ratios;
 
the dissolution without liquidation of IRSA CP;
 
discharge of the directors and the auditors of IRSA CP;
 
the authorization to execute and deliver the definitive merger agreement on behalf of IRSA CP; and
 
the authorization to carry out all the actions necessary to comply with the Merger.
 
 
64
 

To this effect, copies of the Preliminary Merger Agreement, the reports of audit committees of IRSA and IRSA CP, their special purpose separate statement of financial position and the Merger information memorandum must be available in the offices of the respective companies for their review by the shareholders not less than 15 days in advance of the date of the shareholders’ meetings.
 
Once the extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings of IRSA and IRSA CP  have approved the Merger, both companies have to publish notices for three business days in the Argentine official gazette and in a major Argentine newspaper announcing the Merger to alert potential creditors who may oppose the Merger.
 
Under Argentine law, creditors under preexisting credits may oppose the Merger within 15 calendar days from the last publication to protect their credits. The definitive merger agreement may not be executed until 20 calendar days after the expiration of the aforementioned 15-day term, to enable the opposing creditors that have not been paid or duly guaranteed by the merging companies to obtain a judicial order for attachment by the courts.
 
Once the definitive merger agreement is executed and delivered through a public deed, such agreement and other relevant documentation must be filed with the CNV for registration with the Public Registry of Commerce.
 
Simultaneously with the initial filing of the Argentine prospectus on            , 2021, IRSA requested that the CNV (i) authorize the public offering of those newly-issued shares that are to be offered in exchange for the IRSA CP Shares and the listing of such shares on the ByMA and (ii) deregister its shares, but such deregistration will not take place until the Merger is consummated. Upon effectiveness of the Merger, the IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs will cease to exist and will no longer be admitted to trading or listed on the ByMA or the Nasdaq, respectively.
 
Once the definitive merger agreement is registered with the Public Registry of Commerce, the Merger becomes effective vis-à-vis third parties.
 
IRSA has to deliver copy of the registered definitive merger agreement to the ByMA to obtain the definitive approval for the exchange of shares. Within 30 days of the definitive approval of the ByMA for the exchange of shares, IRSA shall commence the exchange of shares, which could take up to ten business days.

IRSA and IRSA CP’s Boards of Directors’ Reasons for the Merger
 
Purpose of and Reasons for the Merger
 
The Merger is expected to generate important benefits and synergies for both IRSA and IRSA CP, resulting from greater efficiency of resources in their management, including, without limitation: (a) to operate and keep only one transactional information system and centralize the entire accounting process; (b) to submit only one set of financial statements to the various control authorities with the ensuing savings in accounting and advisory fees, and other related expenses; (c) to simplify the accounting reporting and consolidation process, as a consequence of the relief that the Merger would entail for the corporate structure as a whole; (d) to cause IRSA CP to be delisted from ByMA and NASDAQ, with the related cost-savings; (e) to reduce costs generally relating to legal fees and tax submissions; (f) to increase the percentage of capital stock listed in the different markets by increasing the liquidity of listed shares of IRSA; (g) to take advantage of tax savings related to the Merger; and (h) to prevent any potential overlap of businesses between IRSA and IRSA CP.

Plans for IRSA CP Following the Merger
 
If the Merger is approved by the required majority vote at the shareholders’ meetings each of the companies, we and IRSA CP expect to enter into a definitive merger agreement, which will be filed with the relevant Argentine authorities for registration and effectiveness of the Merger. We expect the filing and registration of the definitive merger agreement to take several months, and upon finalization of such registration process, the Merger will become effective and holders of IRSA CP Securities at such time will receive IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs, as the case may be, upon surrender by such holder of their IRSA CP Securities.
 
Though the Merger may qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Argentine law, we can provide no assurances as to the tax treatment of the Merger. If the Merger qualifies as a tax-free reorganization under Argentine law, no Argentine capital gains or withholding tax would apply to investors receiving IRSA Securities in the Merger in exchange for their IRSA CP Securities. Also, the consummation of the Merger may not occur for a significant period of time following the filing of this prospectus, in light of the requirements that each company to obtain shareholder approval, submit regulatory filings and complete a registration process. In addition, the Merger is subject to a number of conditions, including approval by the shareholders of the two companies, and as a result we can provide no assurances as to when we will consummate the Merger or whether the Merger will be consummated at all.
 
If the Merger is not approved, we intend to retain ownership of all IRSA CP Securities that we currently hold and continue to treat IRSA CP as subsidiaries of IRSA. Furthermore, we may decide to cause IRSA CP to delist from either or both of the Nasdaq and the ByMA, terminate the deposit agreement for the IRSA CP ADSs and deregister the IRSA CP Shares and the IRSA CP ADSs under the Exchange Act. The decision would depend on, among other factors, our management’s evaluation of the public float, trading volumes and liquidity of the IRSA CP Securities.
 
The liquidity of any IRSA CP Security outstanding would be materially and adversely affected upon deregistration and delisting from either or both of the ByMA and the NYSE, as holders of IRSA CP Securities would likely no longer have an active trading market in which to sell such securities.]
 
Timetable for the Merger
 
The Preliminary Merger Agreement dated September 30, 2021 will be made publicly available after the CNV authorization of the Merger and not less than 15 days prior to the date of shareholders’ meeting in the corporate domicile of the merging companies. A copy of the Preliminary Merger Agreement is attached to this prospectus as Annex A.
 
In order to complete the Merger, the shareholders of IRSA CP and IRSA must adopt the decision to merge IRSA CP into IRSA as contemplated by the Preliminary Merger Agreement. The extraordinary general meetings of shareholders of IRSA CP and IRSA that will vote on the proposal to merge IRSA CP into IRSA will be held on            , 20      at the offices indicated herein.
 
 
67
 
 
If the proposal to merge is adopted by the requisite majority at the extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings of IRSA CP and IRSA and all other conditions precedent are satisfied or waived, the Merger is expected to be completed on or about             , 20       , though it will be retroactively effective for Argentine tax and operating purposes from the Merger Effectiveness Date, when all the companies began carrying on business jointly. Following the date of the respective extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings that vote on the proposed Merger, the management of IRSA CP will be suspended.
 
Upon effectiveness of the Merger, holders of IRSA CP Shares or IRSA CP ADSs (other than us) will, as soon as practicable, receive newly-issued IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs representing such shares, respectively, in accordance with the Merger Exchange Ratios and on the basis of their respective holdings as entered in the IRSA CP shareholder registry (Caja de Valores S.A.) or their respective securities accounts. Holders of IRSA CP Shares (other than us) whose shares are registered directly in the IRSA CP shareholder registry will automatically receive newly-issued IRSA Shares through an entry in the shareholder registry (Caja de Valores S.A.) of IRSA. Holders of IRSA CP Shares whose shares are not registered directly will need to arrange with their broker, bank, custodian or other nominee to deliver their IRSA CP ADSs to the IRSA GDS Depositary to be cancelled and exchanged for IRSA GDSs.
 
The IRSA CP Shares or IRSA CP ADSs, which will automatically cease to exist in the Merger, will no longer be listed and traded on the ByMA or the Nasdaq, respectively, as of the day of effectiveness of the Merger. The last day of listing and trading of the IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs on these exchanges is expected to be on or about              , 20     .
 
Directors and Management of the Surviving Company After the Merger
 
Immediately following the Merger, the senior management and executives of the surviving company, IRSA, shall remain the same as the senior management and executive team currently in place and overseeing the operations of IRSA CP and IRSA.
 
On               , 20     , in accordance with the Preliminary Merger Agreement, the Boards of Directors of IRSA CP will be suspended automatically following the approval of the Merger by the extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings of IRSA CP and IRSA, and the Board of Directors of IRSA shall assume the duties and responsibilities of IRSA CP Boards of Directors. Following the approval of the Merger by the extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings of IRSA CP and IRSA, and once the creditors opposition period has ended, the definitive merger agreement will be signed and registered with the Public Registry of Commerce, and the IRSA Board of Directors shall assume full control of the surviving company. The composition of the IRSA Board of Directors will not change as a consequence of the Merger.

Structure of the Merger
 
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Preliminary Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, IRSA CP will merge into IRSA, by way of absorption by IRSA of IRSA CP and without liquidation of IRSA CP. The surviving company will continue to be known as “IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima.”
 
Taxation
 
For a description of certain material tax consequences of the Merger to the holders of IRSA CP Securities, see “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” and “Argentine Tax Consequences.”
 
Accounting Treatment
 
For accounting purposes, under IFRS as issued by the IASB, the Merger of IRSA CP with and into IRSA is a merger between entities under common control. Accordingly, it will be accounted for by IRSA in accordance with the predecessor basis of accounting. Under this method, the assets, liabilities and components of shareholders’ equity of the transferring entity are carried forward to the combined entity at their carrying amounts as of the effective Merger date.
 
As IRSA CP is already consolidated in IRSA’s consolidated financial statements, the only effect of the Merger is the reduction in non-controlling interest and an increase in share capital and other reserves within equity.
 
Stock Exchange Listings
 
The IRSA Shares and the IRSA CP Shares are listed on the ByMA. The IRSA GDSs are listed on the NYSE and the IRSA CP ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq.
 
Upon effectiveness of the Merger, the IRSA CP Shares and IRSA CP ADSs will cease to exist and will no longer be admitted to trading or listed on the ByMA or the Nasdaq, respectively.
 
Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights in the Merger
 
IRSA CP shareholders will not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights under Argentine law or under IRSA CP’s bylaws (estatutos) in connection with the Merger, and neither IRSA CP nor IRSA will independently provide IRSA CP shareholders with any such rights. A dissenter’s right of appraisal is not available pursuant to Section 245 of the Argentine Corporations Law in the event of a Merger between two companies where shares of both of those companies are publicly traded and any new shares issued in the Merger are also publicly traded.
 
Agreements Between IRSA CP and IRSA Related to the Merger
 
For a summary of the agreements between IRSA CP and IRSA related to the Merger, see “The Merger Agreement” and “Material Contacts Among IRSA an IRSA CP.”
 
Regulatory Matters
 
The Merger is not subject to any additional regulatory requirements of any municipal, state, federal or foreign governmental agencies, other than those mentioned in this prospectus. For more information, see “Regulatory Matters.”

THE MERGER AGREEMENT
 
The following summary describes selected material provisions of the Preliminary Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this prospectus as Annex A, and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Preliminary Merger Agreement and may not contain all the information about the Preliminary Merger Agreement that is important to you.
 
As a matter of Argentine law, the decision to merge IRSA CP and IRSA is effected solely through the adoption by the shareholders of IRSA CP and the shareholders of IRSA of the decision to merge as contemplated by the Preliminary Merger Agreement. Therefore, you are encouraged to read carefully the Preliminary Merger Agreement in its entirety.
 
Structure of the Merger
 
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Preliminary Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, IRSA CP will merge into IRSA, by way of absorption by IRSA of IRSA CP without liquidation of IRSA CP, and IRSA will assume, by universal succession, the rights and obligations of IRSA CP. The surviving company will continue to be known as “IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima.”
 
Merger Consideration
 
As a consequence of the assumption of all the assets and liabilities of IRSA CP and the Merger Exchange Ratios, the corporate capital of IRSA will be increased in the amount of ARS 152,158,215 from the amount of ARS 658,676,460 to the amount of ARS 810,834,675 through the issuance of 152,158,215 IRSA Shares.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, the Merger Exchange Ratios are as follows:
 
Share Exchange Ratio: a holder of IRSA CP Shares will receive 1.40 newly-issued IRSA Shares for each IRSA CP Share.
 
ADS Exchange Ratio: a holder of IRSA CP ADSs, each representing ten IRSA CP Shares, will receive 0.56 newly-issued IRSA GDSs, each representing four IRSA Shares, for each IRSA CP ADS.
 
No fractional IRSA GDSs will be issued. Fractional entitlements to IRSA GDSs will be aggregated and sold by the IRSA GDS Depositary subject to the terms of the IRSA Deposit Agreement. The net proceeds from the sale of the fractional entitlements to IRSA GDSs will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of the IRSA GDSs.
 
No additional consideration in cash or in kind will be paid by IRSA to the shareholders of IRSA CP in connection with the Merger.
 
The IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs to be issued in the Merger will have the same rights (including the right to receive dividends) as the IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs prior to the Merger, as set forth in IRSA’s bylaws (estatutos).
 
 
72
 
 
The cancellation of IRSA CP Securities and their exchange for newly issued IRSA Securities as a consequence of the Merger will take place once the definitive merger agreement is registered with the Public Registry of Commerce. IRSA then will require the ByMA to definitively approve the exchange of shares which will have to commence within 30 days of such approval. See “Summary—Timetable for the Merger.”
 
Based on the number of IRSA CP Shares issued on the date hereof, after the effective time of the Merger, former IRSA CP shareholders will hold approximately 17.1% of the then-issued IRSA shares on a fully diluted basis.
 
The IRSA Shares to be issued in the Merger will be entitled to receive dividends in the same manner as the IRSA Shares issued prior to the Merger.
 
Conditions to Effectiveness of the Merger
 
The completion and effectiveness of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:
 
approval of the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in the Preliminary Merger Agreement by the shareholders of IRSA CP and IRSA at their respective extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings;
 
publication, during a 3 day period, of a Merger notice in the Argentine official gazette and in a major Argentine newspaper notifying creditors of IRSA CP of their right to oppose the Merger;
 
the completion of a period of 15 to 35 days to allow creditors of IRSA CP to oppose the Merger;
 
satisfaction or granting of guarantees to any creditors that file oppositions;
 
the execution of the definitive merger agreement through a public deed; and
 
the registration of the definitive merger agreement, the Merger and the dissolution of IRSA CP with the Public Registry of Commerce.
 
No assurance can be given as to when or whether any of these approvals and consents will be obtained, the terms and conditions that may be imposed in connection with their consents and approvals, or the consequences of failing to obtain the consents and approvals.
 
 
73
 
 
Termination
 
The Preliminary Merger Agreement between IRSA CP and IRSA provides that either party may terminate the agreement if the shareholders of IRSA CP or IRSA do not approve the Merger at the relevant extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting within six months of the date of the agreement. Additionally, under Argentine law, the Preliminary Merger Agreement may be terminated if: (i) the shareholders of IRSA CP or IRSA do not approve the Merger at the relevant extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting; (ii) the Board of Directors of IRSA CP or IRSA decide to terminate the Preliminary Merger Agreement prior to its consideration by the extraordinary general shareholders’ meetings of IRSA CP and IRSA; or (iii) IRSA CP or IRSA do not hold an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting to approve the Preliminary Merger Agreement within three months of its execution. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that neither IRSA CP nor IRSA hold an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting to approve the Preliminary Merger Agreement within three months of its execution, the Preliminary Merger Agreement will continue to be in full force and effect. In such case, both IRSA CP and IRSA will have a right (but will be under no obligation) to terminate the Preliminary Merger Agreement.
 
Effect of Termination
 
If the Preliminary Merger Agreement is terminated or the Merger cannot be consummated for any reason, the Preliminary Merger Agreement provides that:
 
The preliminary Merger agreement shall remain with no effect and there shall be no consequence for any of the merging companies;
 
All the acts performed by IRSA from the Merger Effective Date as a consequences of the management of business to be merged, shall be considered as performed on behalf of IRSA CP; and
 
The companies will continue to run their business as they did prior to the execution of the Preliminary Merger Agreement. Depending on the reason for which the Merger is terminated, the directors may be liable for damages caused by such termination.
 
Under Sections 59 and 274 of the Argentine Corporations Law, any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty or fiduciary duty to the company or its shareholders may result in unlimited, joint and several liability to the company, its shareholders and third parties for damages resulting from such breach. Liability may also attach when a director violates the law, the corporation’s bylaws (estatutos), or when such director causes damage through fraud, gross negligence or abuse of authority. Directors may also be held liable for damages that could have been prevented but for their omissions or failure to act.
 
No Rescission
 
None of IRSA CP or IRSA has restricted its ability to rescind the Preliminary Merger Agreement. However, since there is no specific provision in such Merger agreement allowing any of the parties to rescind the agreement without cause, in order to terminate the agreement, all parties will have to enter into an agreement to rescind the Preliminary Merger Agreement.
 
Amendment and Waiver
 
There is no provision in the Preliminary Merger Agreement providing for amendments or waivers of the agreement, therefore, in order to do so all parties will have to sign and deliver each other a written instrument amending or waiving provisions of the Preliminary Merger Agreement.
 
 
74
 
 
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
The following summary describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the Merger and the ownership of IRSA Securities received pursuant to the Merger and, except as otherwise noted herein, represents the opinion of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, U.S. counsel to IRSA. The discussion set forth below is applicable only to U.S. Holders that hold IRSA CP Securities, and will hold the IRSA Securities received pursuant to the Merger, as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This summary does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including if you are:
 
a bank or other financial institution;
 
a dealer in securities or currencies;
 
a regulated investment company;
 
a real estate investment trust;
 
an insurance company;
 
a tax-exempt organization;
 
a person holding the IRSA CP Securities or IRSA Securities as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction, constructive sale or straddle;
 
a trader in securities that has elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities;
 
a person liable for alternative minimum tax;
 
a person who owns or is deemed to own 5% or more of the outstanding stock of IRSA CP or IRSA (by vote or value);
 
a person required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to IRSA CP Securities or IRSA Securities as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;
 
a partnership or other pass–through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or
 
a person whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar.
 
Furthermore, the discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof, and such authorities may be repealed, revoked or modified so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. This summary does not contain a detailed description of all the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular circumstances and does not address the Medicare tax on net investment income, U.S. federal estate and gift taxes or the effects of any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. In addition, this summary assumes that the IRSA CP ADS deposit agreement and the IRSA Deposit Agreement (and all other related agreements) have been, and will continue to be, performed in accordance with their terms.
 
 
75
 
 
We do not believe that IRSA CP is a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and this summary assumes that IRSA CP is not, and has not been, a PFIC. In addition, as discussed under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company” below, we do not believe IRSA was a PFIC for the taxable year ending June 30, 2021, and we do not currently expect IRSA to become a PFIC, although there can be no assurance in this regard. Except where specifically noted under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company” below, this summary assumes that IRSA CP is not a PFIC for any taxable year.
 
As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of IRSA CP Securities or IRSA Securities that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
 
an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
 
a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
 
an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
 
a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
 
If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds IRSA CP Securities or IRSA Securities, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding IRSA CP Securities or IRSA Securities, you should consult your tax advisors.
 
YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE MERGER AND THE OWNERSHIP OF IRSA SECURITIES RECEIVED PURSUANT TO THE MERGER AS WELL AS ANY CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER OTHER U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAWS AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.
 
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger
 
Based upon representations contained in representation letters provided by IRSA CP and IRSA and on customary factual assumptions, all of which must have been and continue to be true and accurate in all material respects as of the Merger Effectiveness Date through the date of the Merger, it is the opinion of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP that the Merger will constitute a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. Based on the foregoing:
 
you will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Merger, except for any gain or loss that may result from your receipt of cash instead of fractional IRSA GDSs;
 
your aggregate tax basis in the IRSA Securities that you receive in the Merger (including any fractional IRSA GDSs for which you receive cash) will equal your aggregate tax basis in the IRSA CP Securities that you surrender in the Merger; and
 
your holding period for the IRSA Securities that you receive in the Merger (including any fractional IRSA GDSs for which you receive cash) will include your holding period for the IRSA CP Securities that you surrender in the Merger.

If you acquired different blocks of IRSA CP Securities at different times or at different prices, your tax basis and holding period in your IRSA Securities will generally be determined with reference to each block of IRSA CP Securities.
 
If you receive cash instead of fractional IRSA GDSs, you will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the tax basis allocable to the fractional IRSA GDSs. The gain or loss will generally constitute long-term capital gain or loss if your holding period in the IRSA CP ADSs surrendered in the Merger is greater than one year as of the date of the Merger.
 
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Ownership of IRSA Securities Received Pursuant to the Merger
 
IRSA GDSs
 
If you hold IRSA GDSs, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you generally will be treated as the owner of the underlying IRSA Shares that are represented by such IRSA GDSs. Accordingly, deposits or withdrawals of IRSA Shares for IRSA GDSs will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.
 
Distributions on IRSA Securities
 
The gross amount of distributions on IRSA Securities (including amounts withheld to reflect Argentine withholding taxes, if any) will be taxable as dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such dividends will be includable in your gross income as ordinary income on the day actually or constructively received by you, in the case of the IRSA Shares, or by the IRSA GDS Depositary, in the case of the IRSA GDSs. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to corporations under the Code.
 
Subject to applicable limitations (including a minimum holding period requirement), dividends received by non-corporate U.S. Holders from a qualified foreign corporation may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. A foreign corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends received from that corporation on common shares (or depositary shares representing such common shares) that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. U.S. Treasury Department guidance indicates that the IRSA GDSs (which are listed on the NYSE), but not the IRSA Shares, are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Thus, we believe that dividends received on IRSA GDSs, but not dividends received on IRSA Shares, will be potentially eligible for these reduced tax rates. There can be no assurance, however, that the IRSA GDSs will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States in later years. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules to your particular circumstances.
 
 
77
 
 
The amount of any dividend paid in pesos will equal the U.S. dollar value of the pesos received calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the dividend is actually or constructively received by you, in the case of the IRSA Shares, or by the IRSA GDS Depositary, in the case of the IRSA GDSs, regardless of whether the pesos are converted into U.S. dollars. If the pesos received as a dividend are not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, you will have a tax basis in the pesos equal to their U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the pesos will be treated as U.S.-source ordinary income or loss.
 
Subject to certain complex conditions and limitations (including a minimum holding period requirement), Argentine withholding taxes on dividends, if any, may be treated as foreign taxes eligible for credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability. For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on IRSA Securities will be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. If you do not elect to claim a credit for any foreign taxes paid during a taxable year, you may instead claim a deduction in respect of such Argentine withholding taxes. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under your particular circumstances.
 
To the extent that the amount of any distribution (including amounts withheld to reflect Argentine withholding taxes, if any) exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of your IRSA Securities, and thereafter as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange (as discussed below under “—Taxation of Capital Gains”). However, we do not expect IRSA to determine earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, you should expect that a distribution will generally be reported as a dividend (as discussed above).
 
Distributions of IRSA Securities that are received as part of a pro rata distribution to all of our shareholders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes.
 
Passive Foreign Investment Company
 
Based on the past and projected composition of our income and assets and the valuation of our assets, including goodwill, we do not believe IRSA was a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ending June 30, 2021, and we do not currently expect IRSA to become a PFIC, although there can be no assurance in this regard. The determination of whether IRSA is a PFIC is made annually. Accordingly, it is possible that IRSA may be a PFIC in the current or any future taxable year due to changes in its asset or income composition or if our projections are not accurate. The volatility and instability of Argentina’s economic and financial system may substantially affect the composition of our income and assets and the accuracy of our projections. In addition, this determination is based on the interpretation of certain U.S. Treasury regulations relating to rental income, which regulations are potentially subject to differing interpretation.
 
In general, IRSA will be a PFIC for any taxable year in which:
 
at least 75% of IRSA’s gross income is passive income; or
 
at least 50% of the value (generally determined based on a quarterly average) of IRSA’s assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.
 
 
78
 
 
For this purpose, cash is generally a passive asset and passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties and rents (other than royalties and rents derived in the active conduct of a trade or business and not derived from a related person), annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. If IRSA owns at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, IRSA will be treated, for purposes of the PFIC tests, as owning its proportionate share of that other corporation’s assets and receiving its proportionate share of that other corporation’s income. If IRSA is a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold IRSA Securities, you will be subject to special tax rules discussed below.
 
If IRSA is a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold IRSA Securities and you do not make a timely mark-to-market election (as discussed below), you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distributions” received and any gain realized from a sale or other disposition, including a pledge, of such IRSA Securities. Distributions received in a taxable year will be treated as excess distributions to the extent that they are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the IRSA Securities. Under these special tax rules:
 
the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the IRSA Securities;
 
the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which IRSA was a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income; and
 
the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year for individuals or corporations, as applicable, and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.
 
Although the determination of whether IRSA is a PFIC is made annually, if IRSA is a PFIC for any taxable year in which you hold IRSA Securities, you will generally be subject to the special tax rules described above for that year and for each subsequent year in which you hold the IRSA Securities (even if IRSA does not qualify as a PFIC in such subsequent years). However, if IRSA ceases to be a PFIC, you can avoid the continuing impact of the PFIC rules by making a special election to recognize gain as if your IRSA Securities had been sold on the last day of the last taxable year during which IRSA was a PFIC. You are urged to consult your own tax advisor about this election.
 
In certain circumstances, in lieu of being subject to the excess distribution rules discussed above, you may make an election to include gain on the stock of a PFIC as ordinary income under a mark-to-market method, provided that such stock is regularly traded on a qualified exchange. Under current law, the mark-to-market election is only available for stock traded on certain designated United States exchanges and foreign exchanges which meet certain trading, listing, financial disclosure and other requirements to be treated as a qualified exchange under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. The IRSA Shares are listed on the ByMA, which must meet the trading, listing, financial disclosure and other requirements under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations for purposes of the mark-to-market election, and no assurance can be given that the IRSA Shares are or will be “regularly traded” for purposes of the mark-to-market election. The IRSA GDSs are currently listed on the NYSE, which constitutes a qualified exchange under the U.S. Treasury regulations, although there can be no assurance that the IRSA GDSs are or will be “regularly traded.”
 
If you make an effective mark-to-market election, for each taxable year that IRSA is a PFIC you will include in ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of your IRSA Securities at the end of the year over your adjusted tax basis in the IRSA Securities. You will be entitled to deduct as an ordinary loss in each such year the excess, if any, of your adjusted tax basis in the IRSA Securities over their fair market value at the end of the year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. Any gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of the the IRSA Securities in a year that IRSA is a PFIC will be ordinary income or loss, except that such loss will be ordinary loss only to the extent of the previously included net mark-to-market gain. 
 
 
79
 
 
Your adjusted tax basis in the IRSA Securities will be increased by the amount of any income inclusion and decreased by the amount of any deductions under the mark-to-market rules. If you make a mark-to market election, it will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years unless the IRSA Securities are no longer regularly traded on a qualified exchange or the Internal Revenue Service consents to the revocation of the election. However, because a mark-to-market election cannot be made for any lower-tier PFICs that IRSA may own (as discussed below), you will generally continue to be subject to the special tax rules discussed above with respect your indirect interest in any such lower-tier PFIC. Mark-to-market inclusions and deductions will be suspended during taxable years in which IRSA is not a PFIC, but would resume if IRSA subsequently became a PFIC. You are urged to consult your tax advisors about the availability of the mark-to-market election, and whether making the election would be advisable in your particular circumstances.
 
In some cases, holders of stock in a PFIC may be able to avoid the rules described above by electing to treat the PFIC as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code. This option will not be available to you with respect to your IRSA Securities because IRSA does not intend to comply with certain calculation and reporting requirements necessary to permit you to make this election.
 
If IRSA is a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold IRSA Securities and any of IRSA’s non-U.S. subsidiaries is also a PFIC, you would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC for purposes of the application of these rules. You are urged to consult your tax advisors about the application of the PFIC rules to any of IRSA’s subsidiaries.
 
In addition, non-corporate U.S. Holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from IRSA (as discussed above under “—Distributions on IRSA Securities”) if IRSA is a PFIC in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year. You will generally be required to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 if you hold IRSA Securities in any year in which IRSA is classified as a PFIC.
 
You are urged to consult your tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding IRSA Securities if IRSA is considered a PFIC in any taxable year.

Taxation of Capital Gains
 
For U.S. federal income tax purposes, you will generally recognize capital gain or loss on any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of IRSA Securities in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized for the IRSA Securities (without reduction for any Argentine withholding taxes) and your tax basis in the IRSA Securities, both determined in U.S. dollars. Such gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the IRSA Securities for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code. Any gain or loss recognized by you will generally be treated as U.S.-source gain or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, you may not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from any Argentine tax imposed on the disposition of the IRSA Securities unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources.
 
Argentine Personal Assets Tax
 
Amounts paid on account of the Argentine personal assets tax, if any, will not be eligible as a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, but may be deductible subject to applicable limitations in the Code. See “Argentine Tax Consequences––Certain Tax Consequences Related to the IRSA Shares and the IRSA GDSs–– Personal Assets Tax.”
 
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
 
In general, information reporting will apply to any cash received instead of fractional IRSA GDSs in the Merger, any dividends in respect of the IRSA Securities and the proceeds from the sale, exchange or other disposition of the IRSA Securities that are paid to you within the United States (and in certain cases, outside the United States), unless in each case you are an exempt recipient. A backup withholding tax may apply to such payments if you fail to provide a correct taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status or fail to report in full dividend and interest income.
 
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
 
You should consult your own tax advisors regarding any other information reporting requirements that may apply to you in connection with the Merger and the the ownership of IRSA Securities received pursuant to the Merger, including disclosure requirements relating to the ownership of “foreign financial assets.”

ARGENTINE TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
The following description of certain Argentine tax matters is based upon the tax laws of Argentina and regulations thereunder as of the date of this prospectus and is subject to any subsequent change in Argentine laws and regulations that may come into effect after such date. This discussion does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a holder of IRSA CP Shares or IRSA CP ADSs that receives IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs pursuant to the Merger. No assurance can be given that the courts or Argentine tax authorities responsible for the administration of the laws and regulations described in this prospectus will agree with this interpretation.
 
Tax Consequences Related to the Merger
 
The Merger of IRSA CP and IRSA may qualify as a “tax-free reorganization” under the ITL, the Regulatory Decree, judicial decisions, and published rulings of the AFIP; therefore, we believe the shareholders will not have to recognize any Argentine-source income in connection with the exchange of IRSA CP Securities for IRSA Securities in the Merger.
 
In order for the Merger to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the ITL and the Regulatory Decree, IRSA and IRSA CP must give formal notice of the Merger and submit other documentation to the AFIP within 180 calendar days from the Merger Effectiveness Date.
 
Additionally, the surviving company must comply with other requirements for a two-year period, such as remaining in the same line of business as IRSA CP prior to the Merger and maintaining the listing of the IRSA Securities on a self-regulated stock market from the date of reorganization. For these purposes, the Merger Effectiveness Date will be the first date on which IRSA will assume the activity or activities carried out by IRSA CP prior to such date.
 
Even though IRSA expects that the tax-free reorganization requirements will be met, no assurance can be given as to this fact. Since applicable regulations do not require the AFIP to issue a resolution confirming that the surviving company has effectively complied with the tax-free reorganization requirements and that, therefore, the Merger effectively qualifies as a “tax-free reorganization,” there can be no assurance that the AFIP will not challenge the Merger based on their interpretation that such requirements were not properly satisfied, until the five-year statute of limitations has lapsed.
 
If the Merger qualifies as a tax-free reorganization under Argentine law, no capital gains or withholding tax would apply to investors receiving IRSA Securities in the Merger in exchange for their IRSA CP Securities. In addition, the exchange of the IRSA CP Securities in the Merger is exempted from value added tax pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Argentine Value Added Tax Law (Ley de Impuesto al Valor Agregado No. 23,349).
 
Certain Tax Consequences Related to the IRSA Shares and the IRSA GDSs
 
The following summary contains a description of the principal Argentine tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the Argentine tax considerations that may be relevant for the holder of IRSA Shares and/or IRSA GDSs.
 
Dividends Tax
 
Dividend distributions which source are profits generated in fiscal years beginning before January 1, 2018, whether in cash, in shares or in kind, are not subject to income tax withholding except for the application of the “Equalization Tax” described below.
 
 
81
 
 
An income tax withholding will be applied to the amount of dividends distributed in excess of a company’s net taxable income determined in accordance with general income tax regulations for the fiscal years preceding the date of the distribution of such dividends (the “Equalization Tax”). The legislation requires that companies withhold 35% of the amount of distributed dividends in excess of the net taxable income of such distribution, as determined in accordance with the Income Tax Law No. 20,628. Dividends distributed by an Argentine company are not subject to this tax to the extent that those dividends arise from dividend income or other distributions received by such company from other Argentine companies.
 
Dividend distributions made in kind (other than cash) will be subject to the same tax rules as cash dividends. Stock dividends on fully paid shares are not subject to Equalization Tax.
 
Equalization Tax will not be applicable on profits generated from fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
 
Dividend distributions, other than stock dividends, which source are profits generated in fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, whether in cash, in shares or in kind, made by local entities to resident individuals, resident undivided estates and foreign beneficiaries are subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 7%.
 
Certain tax treaties contemplate the application of a ceiling tax rate on dividends (i.e. 10% on gross dividends).
 
Capital Gains Tax
 
Resident Individuals
 
The ITL provides for the taxation of resident individuals’ income resulting from the purchase and sale, exchange or other disposition of shares and other securities (including securities representing shares and deposit certificates such as GDSs) not listed on stock exchanges or securities markets under the supervision of the CNV, irrespective of the frequency or regularity of such operations. This income is subject in all cases to a 15% tax rate.
 
Losses arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares and/or deposit certificates, can be applied only to offset such capital gains arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of these securities, for a five-year carryover period.
 
Foreign Beneficiaries
 
Capital gains of Argentine source (as it is the case of the disposition of IRSA Shares and IRSA GDSs) obtained by non-Argentine individuals or non-Argentine entities from the sale, exchange or other disposition of shares are subject to income tax at a 15% rate on the net capital gain or at a 13.5% rate on the gross price at the seller’s election, unless an exemption applies.
 
Notwithstanding the above, Law No. 27,430 established an exemption for foreign beneficiaries participating in the sale of publicly traded shares traded in stock exchanges under the supervision of the CNV. Said Law also established an exemption for capital gains derived from the sale, exchange or other disposition of share certificates issued abroad that represent shares issued by Argentine companies (i.e. ADRs or GDRs), to the extent the underlying shares are authorized for public offering by the CNV. The exemptions will apply only if the foreign beneficiaries do not reside in, and the funds do not arise from, “non-cooperating” jurisdictions for tax transparency purposes.
 
 
82
 
 
In the event foreign beneficiaries conduct a conversion process of shares that do not meet the exemption requirements into securities representing shares that are exempt from income tax, such conversion would be considered a taxable transfer for which the fair market value at the time the conversion takes place should be considered.
 
The sale of an equity interest in a foreign entity could represent a taxable indirect transfer of Argentine assets (including shares), if (i) the value of the Argentine assets exceed 30% of the transaction’s overall value, and (ii) the equity interest sold (in the foreign entity) exceeds 10%. The tax will also be due if any of these thresholds were met during the twelve month period prior to the sale. However, no withholding mechanism is currently available. The indirect transfer of Argentine assets within the same economic group would not trigger taxation, provided the requirements set by regulations have been met.
 
Argentine Resident Entities
 
Capital gains obtained in tax years beginning from January 1, 2021 by Argentine legal entities (in general, corporations organized or incorporated under Argentine law, certain traders and intermediaries, local branches of non-Argentine entities, entities included under Section 1 of Argentine Law No. 22,016, certain trusts created in accordance with Argentine law, certain mutual funds, sole proprietorships and individuals carrying on certain commercial activities in Argentina) that are derived from the sale, exchange or other disposition of IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs are subject to the following tiered structure of corporate income tax rates for different brackets of earnings:
 
Annual taxable income (ARS)
Tax due on lower limit (ARS)
Marginal rate on the excess of the lower limit
0 to 5 million
ARS 0
25%
Over 5 million to 50 million
ARS 1.25 million
30%
Over 50 million
ARS 14.75 million
35%
 
Losses arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of common share rights, GDR rights, common shares and GDRs can be applied only to offset such capital gains arising from the sale, exchange or other disposition of these securities for a five-year carryover period.
 
Personal Assets Tax
 
Argentine entities, such as us, have to pay the personal assets tax corresponding to Argentine and foreign individuals and foreign entities for the holding of our shares at December 31 of each year. The applicable tax rate is 0.50% and is levied on the equity value, or the book value, of the shares arising from the last balance sheet. Pursuant to the Personal Assets Tax Law (Ley de Impuesto sobre los Bienes Personales No. 23,966 (texto ordenado 997)), the Argentine company is entitled to seek reimbursement of such paid tax from the applicable Argentine individuals and/or foreign shareholders or by withholding on dividend payments.
 
Transfer Taxes
 
The sale, exchange or other disposition of IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs is not subject to transfer taxes.
 
 
83
 
 
Stamp Taxes
 
Stamp taxes may apply in the City of Buenos Aires and in certain Argentine provinces in case transfer of IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs is performed or executed in such jurisdictions by means of written agreements.
 
Gross Income Tax
 
The gross income tax is a local tax; therefore, the rules of the relevant provincial jurisdiction should be considered, which may levy this tax on the customary purchase and sale, exchange or other disposition of common shares and GDSs, and/or the collection of dividends at an average rate of 6%, unless an exemption is applicable. In the particular case of the City of Buenos Aires, any transaction involving common shares and/or the collection of dividends and revaluations is exempt from this tax.
 
Value Added Tax
 
The sale, exchange or other disposition of IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs and the distribution of dividends are exempted from the value added tax.
 
Other Taxes
 
There are no Argentine federal inheritance or succession taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs. The province of Buenos Aires established a tax on free transmission of assets, including inheritance, legacies, donations, etc. Free transmission of our shares could be subject to this tax.
 
In the event that it becomes necessary to institute legal actions in relation to the IRSA Shares and/or IRSA GDSs in Argentina, a court tax (currently at a rate of 3.0%) will be imposed on the amount of any claim brought before the Argentine courts sitting in the City of Buenos Aires.
 
Tax Treaties
 
Argentina has signed tax treaties for the avoidance of double taxation with several countries. There is currently no tax treaty or convention in effect between Argentina and the United States. It is not clear when, if ever, a treaty will be ratified or entered into effect. As a result, the Argentine tax consequences described in this section will apply, without modification, to a holder of IRSA Shares or IRSA GDSs that is a U.S. resident. Foreign shareholders located in certain jurisdictions with a tax treaty in force with Argentina may be exempted from the payment of the personal assets tax.
 
 
84
 
 
REGULATORY AND ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS
 
The Merger will be subject to the Companies obtaining the following administrative authorizations and approvals:
 
obtaining the administrative consent (conformidad administrativa) of the CNV with respect to the Merger;
 
the registration of the final Merger agreement with the Public Registry of Commerce of the City of Buenos Aires (Inspección General de Justicia); and
 
any other authorizations that may be necessary from any market or any other governmental or regulatory entities to consummate the Merger.

INFORMATION ABOUT IRSA CP
 
Description of Business
 
A. History and Development of IRSA CP
 
General Information
 
The legal name of the company being acquired is IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A. Formerly, the legal name was Alto Palermo S.A., which was modified by vote of the special shareholders’ meeting (asamblea extraordinaria) held on February 5, 2015. IRSA CP was organized and incorporated on August 29, 1889, under Argentine law as a stock corporation (sociedad anónima), and was registered with the Public Registry of Commerce of the City of Buenos Aires (Inspección General de Justicia or “IGJ”) on February 27, 1976 under number 323, on page 6, book 85 of the stock corporations volume. Pursuant to IRSA CP’s bylaws, IRSA CP term of duration expires on August 28, 2087.
 
IRSA CP common shares are listed and traded on the ByMA and IRSA CP ADSs representing its common shares are listed on the NASDAQ, both under the ticker “IRCP”. IRSA CP’s headquarters are located at Carlos M. Della Paolera 261, 8th Floor (C1001ADA), City of Buenos Aires, Argentine. IRSA CP’s telephone is +54 (11) 4344-4600.

History
 
IRSA CP was organized in 1889 under the name Sociedad Anónima Mercado de Abasto Proveedor (SAMAP) and, until 1984, IRSA CP owned and operated the main fresh products market in the City of Buenos Aires. IRSA CP’s main asset during that period was the historic Mercado de Abasto building which served as the location of the market from 1889 to 1984. In July 1994, IRSA acquired a controlling interest in us and, subsequently, IRSA CP concentrated on real estate operations. In April 1997, IRSA CP merged with fourteen wholly owned subsidiaries, including Alto Palermo S.A., and subsequently changed IRSA CP’s name to Alto Palermo S.A. Since then, IRSA CP has continued to grow through a series of acquisitions and the development of IRSA CP’s businesses.
 
Since 1996, IRSA CP has expanded IRSA CP’s real estate activities in the shopping mall segment, through the acquisition and development of the following shopping malls: Paseo Alcorta, Alto Palermo Shopping, Alto Avellaneda, Alto NOA, Abasto Shopping, Patio Bullrich, Mendoza Plaza Shopping, Alto Rosario, Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera, Dot Baires, Soleil Premium Outlet, La Ribera Shopping, Patio Olmos Shopping, Distrito Arcos and Alto Comahue Shopping.
 
On December 22, 2014, IRSA CP acquired from IRSA, IRSA CP’s controlling shareholder, 83,789 square meters of premium office space including the República Building, the Bouchard 710 building, (on July 30, 2020, IRSA CP sold to an unrelated third party of the entire Bouchard 710 building, for a total amount of approximately USD 87.2 million), the Della Paolera 265 building, the Intercontinental Plaza Building, the Suipacha 652 building and the land reserve “Intercontinental II” (the “Acquired Properties”) with the potential to develop up to 19,600 square meters, each located in the City of Buenos Aires. The acquisition was carried out as part of IRSA CP’s strategy to expand IRSA CP’s business of developing and operating commercial properties in Argentina and to create a unique and unified portfolio of rental properties consisting of the best office buildings in the City of Buenos Aires and the best shopping malls in Argentina. The total value of the transaction was USD 308.0 million, based on third party appraisals.
 
 
86
 
 
In 2007, through Panamerican Mall S.A. (“PAMSA”), IRSA CP started the construction of one of IRSA CP’s most important projects called “Polo Dot”, a Shopping Mall, an Office Building and different plots of land to develop three additional office buildings (one of them may include a hotel). This project is located in Saavedra neighborhood, at the intersection of Avenida General Paz and the Panamerican Highway. First, the Shopping Mall Dot Baires was developed and opened in May, 2009 and then the Office Building was opened in July 2010, which meant IRSA CP’s landing on the growing corridor of rental offices located in the North Zone of Buenos Aires. In addition, on June 5, 2017, IRSA CP reported the acquisition of the historic Philips Building, adjacent to the Dot Baires Shopping Mall. Likewise, through PAMSA, IRSA CP developed the Zetta building, A+ and potentially LEED building, which was inaugurated on May, 2019, it has 11 office floors with a profitable area of 32,173 square meters, fully leased at the opening date.
 
As of June 30, 2021, IRSA CP’s main shareholder is IRSA which owns 79.92% of IRSA CP’s share capital outstanding. On September 30, 2021, IRSA CP informed that IRSA CP's Board of Directors has approved the beginning of the corporate reorganization process, by which IRSA CP will merge with and into IRSA, with IRSA as the surviving entity. Likewise, and within the framework of the reorganization process, the IRSA CP’s Board of Directors has approved the exchange ratio, which has been established at 1.40 IRSA shares for each IRSA CP share, which is equivalent to 0.56 IRSA GDS for each ADS of IRSA CP. For more information see “The Merger”
 
As of June 30, 2021, IRSA CP owns 15 shopping malls in Argentina, 14 of which are operated by us, totaling 334,826 square meters and 113,291 square meters of gross leasable in seven premium office buildings of rental office property.

IRSA CP’s Shopping Malls
 
Overview
 
As of June 30, 2021, IRSA CP owned a majority interest in and operated, a portfolio of 15 shopping malls in Argentina, six of which are located in the City of Buenos Aires (Abasto, Alcorta Shopping, Alto Palermo Shopping, Patio Bullrich, Dot Baires Shopping and Distrito Arcos), two in the greater Buenos Aires area (Alto Avellaneda and Soleil Premium Outlet), and the rest in different provinces of Argentina (Alto Noa in the City of Salta, Alto Rosario in the City of Rosario, Mendoza Plaza in the City of Mendoza, Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera and Patio Olmos (operated by a third party) in the City of Córdoba, La Ribera Shopping in Santa Fe (through a joint venture) and Alto Comahue in the City of Neuquén).
 
As of June 30, 2021, IRSA CP’s portfolio’s leasable area totaled 334,826 sqm of GLA (excluding certain spaces occupied by hypermarkets, which are not IRSA CP’s tenants). The total tenants’ sales of IRSA CP’s shopping malls, according to data reported by the retailers, were ARS 75,795 million for fiscal year 2021 and ARS 105,043 million for fiscal year 2020, a decrease of 27.8% in real terms (+8.3% in nominal terms).

Principal Terms of IRSA CP’s Leases
 
Under the Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina, the term of the locations cannot exceed twenty years for the residential destination and fifty years for the other destinations. In general, IRSA CP’s lease agreements have three to ten-year terms.
 
Leasable space in IRSA CP’s shopping malls is marketed through an exclusive arrangement with IRSA CP’s wholly owned subsidiary and real estate broker Fibesa S.A., or “Fibesa.” IRSA CP uses a standard lease agreement for most tenants at IRSA CP’s shopping malls, the terms and conditions of which are described below. However, IRSA CP’s largest or “anchor” tenants generally negotiate better terms for their respective leases. No assurance can be given that lease terms will be as set forth in the standard lease agreement.
 
Rent amount specified in IRSA CP’s leases generally is the higher of (i) a monthly Base Rent and (ii) a specified percentage of the tenant’s monthly gross sales in the store, which generally ranges between 3% and 12% of tenant’s gross sales. Additionally, under the rent adjustment clause included in most of IRSA CP’s rental contracts, the tenant’s basic rent is generally updated quarterly and cumulatively by the CPI index. These terms and conditions have not been applied during a period when the shopping malls remained closed due to the Social, Preventive and Mandatory Isolation decreed by the government of Argentina as a result of the novel COVID-19 virus since IRSA CP decided to defer the billing and collection of the Base Rent until September 30, 2020, with some exceptions and IRSA CP also suspended collection of the collective promotion fund during the same period, prioritizing the long-term relationship with IRSA CP’s tenants.
 
 
102
 
 
In addition to rent, IRSA CP charges most of IRSA CP’s tenants an admission fee that is payable upon execution of the lease agreement and upon its renewal. The admission fee is normally paid as a lump-sum payment or in monthly installments. Tenants who pay this fee in installments are liable for paying the outstanding balance if the agreement is terminated before the due date. In case of unilateral termination and/or termination due to a breach of obligations by the tenants, IRSA CP’s consent is required for the reimbursement of the admission fee.
 
IRSA CP is responsible, except in the mall Distrito Arcos, for providing each unit within IRSA CP’s shopping malls with electricity, a main telephone switchboard, central air conditioning and a connection to a general fire detection system. IRSA CP also provides the food court tenants with sanitation and with gas systems connections. In Distrito Arcos, the connections are managed by the tenants. Each tenant is responsible for completing all necessary installations within its rental unit, in addition to paying direct related expenses, including electricity, water, gas, telephone and air conditioning. Tenants must also pay for a percentage of total expenses and general taxes related to common areas. IRSA CP determines this percentage based on different factors. The common area expenses include, among others, administration, security, operations, maintenance, cleaning and taxes.
 
IRSA CP carries out promotional and marketing activities to draw consumer traffic to IRSA CP’s shopping malls. These activities are paid for with the tenants’ contributions to the Collective Promotion Fund, or “CPF,” which is administered by us. Tenants are required to contribute 15% of their rent (Base Rent plus Percentage Rent) to the CPF. IRSA CP may increase the percentage tenants must contribute to the CPF with up to 25% of the original amount set forth in the corresponding lease agreement for the contributions to the CPF. IRSA CP may also require tenants to make extraordinary contributions to the CPF to fund special promotional and marketing campaigns or to cover the costs of special promotional events that benefit all tenants. IRSA CP may require tenants to make these extraordinary contributions up to four times a year provided that each extraordinary contribution may not exceed 25% of the tenant’s preceding monthly lease payment.
 
Each tenant leases its rental unit as a shell without any fixtures and is responsible for the interior design of its rental unit. Any modifications and additions to the rental units must be pre-approved by us. IRSA CP has the option to charge the tenant for all costs incurred in remodeling the rental units and for removing any additions made to the rental unit when the lease expires. Furthermore, tenants are responsible for obtaining adequate insurance for their rental units, which must cover, among other things, damage caused by fire, glass breakage, theft, flood, civil liability and workers’ compensation
 
Control Systems
 
IRSA CP has computer systems equipped to monitor tenants’ sales (including some stands) in all of IRSA CP’s shopping malls. IRSA CP also conducts regular audits of IRSA CP’s tenants’ accounting sales records in all of IRSA CP’s shopping malls. Almost every store in IRSA CP’s shopping malls has a point of sale that is linked to IRSA CP’s main server. IRSA CP uses the information generated from the computer monitoring system to prepare statistical data regarding, among other things, total sales, average sales and peak sale hours for marketing purposes and as a reference for the internal audit. Most of IRSA CP’s shopping mall lease agreements require the tenant to have its point of sale system linked to IRSA CP’s server. During this fiscal year, IRSA CP started the renovation of IRSA CP’s payment terminals with contactless technology (Clover).

During this fiscal year, visitors to the shopping mall generated real retail sales that totaled approximately ARS 2,022 million, which represent a year-on-year decrease of 36.3% and sales per square meter of approximately ARS 172,746. Total rental income decreased from ARS 538 million in real terms in fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 to ARS 60 million in fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, which represents total revenue for the period per gross leasable area of ARS 46,012 in fiscal year 2020 and ARS 5,113 in fiscal year 2021.

Administration and management of shopping malls
 
IRSA CP manages and operates each of the shopping malls in which IRSA CP has more than 50% ownership and in IRSA CP’s Joint Venture in NPSF (La Ribera Shopping). IRSA CP charges tenants a property monthly management fee, which varies from shopping mall to shopping mall, depending on the cost of administration and maintenance of the common areas and the administration of contributions made by tenants to fund promotional efforts for the shopping mall. IRSA CP charges a monthly management fee, paid prorated by the tenants, according to their particular lease rates. This management fee is a fixed amount in Alto Palermo, Alto Avellaneda, Abasto Shopping, Paseo Alcorta, Alto NOA, Dot Baires, Alto Rosario, Soleil Premium Outlet, Patio Bullrich, Distrito Arcos and Alto Comahue and a percentage of the common area maintenance expenses in Buenos Aires Design, Córdoba Shopping and Mendoza Plaza.
 
IRSA CP’s total revenue from management fees during fiscal 2021 were ARS 133.5 million, ARS 155.6 million during fiscal 2020 and ARS 184.0 million during fiscal 2019.

Competition
 
IRSA CP is the largest owner and operator of shopping malls, offices and other commercial properties in Argentina in terms of gross leasable area and number of rental properties. Given that most of IRSA CP’s shopping malls are located in highly populated areas, there are competing shopping malls within, or in close proximity to, IRSA CP’s targeted areas, as well as stores located on avenues or streets. The number of shopping malls in a particular area could have a material effect on IRSA CP’s ability to lease space in IRSA CP’s shopping malls and on the amount of rent that IRSA CP is able to charge. IRSA CP believes that due to the limited availability of large plots of land and zoning restrictions in the City of Buenos Aires, it is difficult for other companies to compete with us in areas through the development of new shopping malls. IRSA CP’s principal competitor is Cencosud S.A. which owns and operates Unicenter Shopping and the Jumbo hypermarket chain, among others.

Management of office buildings
 
IRSA CP generally acts as the manager of the office properties in which IRSA CP owns an interest. IRSA CP typically owns the entire building or a substantial number of floors in the building. The buildings in which IRSA CP owns floors are generally managed pursuant to the terms of a condominium agreement that typically provides for control by a simple majority of the interests based on owned area. As building manager, IRSA CP handles services such as security, maintenance and housekeeping, which are generally outsourced. The cost of the services is passed through to, and paid for by, the tenants, except in the case of IRSA CP’s units that have not been leased, if any, for which IRSA CP bears the cost. IRSA CP markets IRSA CP’s leasable area through commissioned brokers or directly by IRSA CP.
 
Leases
 
IRSA CP usually leases IRSA CP’s offices and other rental properties by using contracts with an average term between three to ten years. Contracts for the rental of office buildings and other commercial properties are generally stated in U.S. dollars. Rental rates for renewed periods are negotiated at market value.

This building was inaugurated in July 2010, which meant IRSA CP’s arrival at the growing corridor of the Northern Area with respect to offices for rent. The building’s principal tenants include Farmanet, Astrazeneca S.A., G.E. Healthcare, HP and Medtronic S.A., among others.
 
Phillips Building, City of Buenos Aires
 
The historic Philips Building adjoins IRSA CP’s Dot Baires shopping mall, and faces Avenida General Paz, in the City of Buenos Aires. It has 4 office floors, a total GLA of approximately 8,017 sqm, and a remaining construction capacity of approximately 20,000 sqm. IRSA CP is owner of 100% of the building. It is currently one of the assets with the highest occupancy, with companies such as Iunigo, Philips, Salentein, among others, in addition to the imminent opening of a Maternity Garden to serve the Polo Dot.
 
Zetta Building
 
IRSA CP’s subsidiary Panamerican Mall S.A. built an office building of 32,173 square meters of gross leasable area and 11 floors located in the commercial complex “Polo Dot” in Buenos Aires City. This new A+, and potentially LEED, building was inaugurated in May 2019, continuing to consolidate IRSA CP’s position in the North Zone corridor of offices for rent.

Competition
 
Virtually all IRSA CP’s office’s properties and other commercial properties other than shopping malls are in developed urban areas. There is a great number of office buildings, shopping malls, retail stores and residential houses in the zones where IRSA CP’s properties are located. It is a highly fragmented market and the abundant number of comparable properties in the vicinities may have an adverse impact on the ability to lease or sell office space and other properties and may have an adverse impact on the sale and rental price of properties.
 
In the future, both domestic and foreign companies are likely to participate in the real estate market in Argentina, hence competing with us when it comes to business opportunities. In addition, in the future IRSA CP may participate in the development of a market for foreign real property, and IRSA CP is likely to find well-established competitors.
 
In the premium office segment, the company competes with other relevant market players, such as RAGHSA and Consultatio, who together with IRSA CP represent the 3 most important players.
 
IRSA CP’s Sales and Developments Segment
 
This segment includes trading properties units to be received under barter agreements in force and land reserves of IRSA CP’s portfolio. As of June 30, 2021, IRSA CP owns plots and properties, strategically located in the City of Buenos Aires and in the provinces of Argentina with potential to develop new projects.

This 116-hectare plot of land is in the 62 km of the West Highway, in the intersection with Route 5 and was originally purchased by CRESUD from Birafriends S.A. for USD 3 million on May 31, 2008. In May 2012, the company acquired the property through a purchase and sale agreement entered between related parties, thus becoming the current owner. IRSA CP’s intention is to carry out a mixed-use project, taking advantage of the environment consolidation and the strategic location of the plot. At present, dealings are being carried out to change the zoning parameters, thus enabling the consummation of the project.

La Rural (Exhibition and Convention Center)
 
LRSA holds usufruct rights for the commercial operation of the emblematic Predio Ferial de Palermo (Palermo exhibition center) in the City of Buenos Aires. IRSA CP owns 35% of the equity of LRSA.
  
In July 2016, IRSA CP acquired from FEG Entretenimientos S.A. 25% of the shares of EHSA, in which IRSA CP already held 50% of the share. IRSA CP also acquired a 1.25% interest in ENUSA. Immediately after this acquisition, IRSA CP sold 5% of the shares of EHSA to Mr. Diego Finkelstein, who already owned a 25% equity interest.

137
 
 
On August 4, 2017, a 15-year concession for the Exhibition and Convention Center of the City of Buenos Aires was executed by the joint venture LA RURAL S.A. – OFC S.R.L. – OGDEN ARGENTINA S.A. – ENTRETENIMIENTO UNIVERSAL S.A. UNION TRANSITORIA, which was granted pursuant a public bidding process. The members of the joint venture hold the following interests: (a) LRSA 5%; (b) OFC SRL 20%; (c) OASA 55%; and (d) EUSA 20%.
 
The shareholders of LRSA are Sociedad Rural Argentina and OASA, each of which owns 50% equity interest. OASA and EUSA are controlled by EHSA. Consequently, IRSA CP indirectly holds a 50.00% interest in the joint venture.
 
The Exhibition and Convention Center has a surface area of approximately 22,800 square meters and may accommodate approximately 5,000 attendees. It has a main exhibit hall and an ancillary hall, offices and meetings rooms, arranged in three underground levels that were designed to blend into the landscape extending from the School of Law of the Universidad de Buenos Aires to Parque Thays.
 
Also, La Rural S.A. continues to work on the consolidation of the commercial development of the “Convention Center of Punta del Este”, through its equity participation in the company that holds the concession until 2041.
 
As a result of the measures adopted by Argentina’s national Government in response to the COVID- 19 pandemic, La Rural, the Buenos Aires and Punta del Este Convention Centers was closed throughout the fiscal year 2021. IRSA CP expects a gradual recovery during the fiscal year 2022 given that on July 12, the protocols for the resumption of events, conferences and exhibitions were put in place.
 
TGLT (real estate)
 
TGLT is a real estate company listed on the ByMA which is mainly engaged in construction activity and residential development projects in Argentina and Uruguay.

DirectTV Arena
  
DirecTV Arena is an indoor stadium with unique features designed to host top-level international events, including sporting events and concerts. The price set for the transaction was USD 4.2 million. Through these types of investments, IRSA CP’s equity stake in LRSA and through the new Convention Center of the City of Buenos Aires, IRSA CP continues to expand IRSA CP’s exposure to conventions, sporting events and entertainment, which could generate synergies with IRSA CP’s core shopping mall business.
 
The DirecTV Arena stadium was closed during fiscal year 2021. On August 10, 2021, the local government established protocols for indoor events with up to 1,000 attendants. During fiscal year 2022 IRSA CP expects the government to establish more flexible protocols for events, conferences, and exhibitions in indoor stadiums.
 
We are Appa S.A. (former Pareto S.A.)
 
On October 8, 2018, the company Pareto S.A. was incorporated, with the social purpose of design, programming and development of software, mobile and web applications. As of June 30, 2021, IRSA CP’s participation in We are Appa S.A. was 93.61%.
 
¡Appa!, the We are Appa application, is a 100% digital customer loyalty system that promotes benefits and discounts by facilitating the consumer experience in shopping malls and offices. The current lines of business are: “¡Appa! Loyalty” consolidating services that improve the consumer experience in physical assets through discounts, parking payment, reservation of shifts and participation in raffles and “¡Appa! Corporate”, a tool that brings companies closer to their collaborators through experiences and exclusive discounts, allowing the reservation of workspaces for coworking modalities in the framework of the pandemic and the provisions of limited capacity. It is currently used by 3,672 employees from different companies.
 
This year ¡Appa! exceeded one million historical users, two million transactions and the launch of the payment solution and the new gift vouchers to be used both physically and virtually in shopping malls is nearby.
 
During fiscal year 2021, AppaShops, the company’s online marketplace, was launched, following the WeAreAppa strategy that focuses on the user experience. Although its trajectory is recent, it is generating impact as an omnichannel complement to the physical stores of the brands that traditionally operate with the company, turning them into strategic partners for the recovery of post-pandemic activity. As it is also a data-driven company, the analysis of consumer data makes it possible to make the user’s online experience a differential asset.
 
Finally, by the hand of AppaShops, the first pick-up point for online purchases was inaugurated in Alto Palermo. This solution allows customers not to depend on receiving packages at a particular address and time, in addition to being able to consolidate products from different brands in a single purchase. The next steps include the opening of new pick-up points and the possibility of direct delivery to the vehicle in the parking spaces of shopping malls around the country, as well as the reception of packages operated and sent by third parties to later be collected by the customer.

Avenida Inc.
 
As of June 30, 2021, IRSA CP indirectly owned 4.1% of Avenida Inc., a company dedicated to the e-commerce business.
 
Insurance
 
IRSA CP carries all-risk insurance for IRSA CP’s shopping malls and other buildings covering property damage caused by fire, terrorist acts, explosion, gas leak, hail, storms and wind, earthquakes, vandalism, theft and business interruption. In addition, IRSA CP carries liability insurance covering any potential damage to third parties or property caused by the conduct of IRSA CP’s business throughout Argentina. IRSA CP is following all legal requirements related to mandatory insurance, including insurance required by the Occupational Risk Law (Ley de Riesgos del Trabajo), life insurance required under collective bargaining agreements and other insurance required by laws and executive orders. IRSA CP’s history of damages is limited to one single claim resulting from a fire in Alto Avellaneda Shopping in March 2006, a loss which was substantially recovered from IRSA CP’s insurers. These insurance policies contain specifications, limits and deductibles which IRSA CP believes are adequate to the risks to which IRSA CP is exposed in IRSA CP’s daily operations. IRSA CP further maintains liability insurance covering IRSA CP’s directors’ and corporate officers’ liability.
 
Information technology
 
IRSA CP keeps investing in technological innovation. The advances of society and changes in consumer habits constantly challenge us and motivate us to apply the latest technological trends to serve the visitor’s experience in the shopping malls and learn more about IRSA CP’s clients. IRSA CP continued with the company digital transformation, incorporating electronic signature, cloud based purchases and auctions platform for cost optimization named ARIBA, Robotic Process Automation or RPA automation, and IRSA CP built a Datalake to help us with customer clusterization via predictive analytics and machine learning.
 
This year IRSA CP accelerated projects seeking to provide new alternatives to IRSA CP’s tenants to complement the ecosystem of physical stores. APPA, the application that facilitates the experience of consumers in shopping malls, through which you can pay for parking, reserve shifts, enter virtual lines, obtain discounts, benefits and participate in promotions, exceeded one million downloads, and prepares to launch payments and gift vouchers. IRSA CP also launched APPASHOPS, the company’s Marketplace, which although it is incipient, IRSA CP hopes will contribute to the recovery of post-pandemic activity. IRSA CP will continue to innovate in accordance with the evolution of the dynamics of consumption and deployment of Omni channel and complementing physical sales in stores with online sales.
 
Regulation and Government Supervision
 
The laws and regulations governing the acquisition and transfer of real estate, as well as municipal zoning ordinances, apply to the development and operation of IRSA CP’s properties.
 
Currently, Argentine law does not specifically regulate shopping mall leases. Since IRSA CP’s shopping mall leases generally diverge from ordinary commercial leases, IRSA CP has developed contractual provisions which are tailored to the commercial relationship with IRSA CP’s shopping mall tenants.
 
 
140
 
 
Leases
 
Argentine law imposes certain restrictions on property owners, including a minimum lease term of three years for all purposes, except in particular cases for venues such as embassy, consulate or international organization, room with furniture for touristic purposes for less than three months, custody and bailment of goods, exhibition or offering of goods in fairs or in cases where due to the circumstances, the subject matter of the lease requires a shorter term.
 
Lease term limits
 
Under the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code lease terms may not exceed 20 years (for residential purpose) or fifty years (all other purposes). Generally, terms in IRSA CP’s leases range from three to ten years.
 
Rescission rights
 
The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code provides that tenants may terminate leases with other purpose than residential purpose, early after the first six months of the effective date. Such termination is subject to penalties which range from one to one and a half months of rent. If the tenant terminates the agreement during the first year of the lease, the penalty is one and a half month’s rent and if termination occurs after the first year of lease, the penalty is one month’s rent.
 
Other
 
Most of IRSA CP’s leases provide that the tenants pay all costs and taxes related to the property in proportion to their respective leasable areas. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with the latest amendment to Article 1209 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code, the tenant is not responsible for the payment of charges and contributions levied on the property or extraordinary common expenses. In the event of a significant increase in the amount of such costs and taxes, the Argentine government may respond to political pressure to intervene by regulating this practice, thereby adversely affecting IRSA CP’s rental income. Although the Argentine Code of Civil and Commercial Procedure allows the landlord, in the event of non-payment of rents, to proceed to collect the rents through an “executory proceeding”, there is of jurisprudence that holds that shopping mall lease agreements do not fulfill the requirements of the law in force to be collected through the executory proceeding. In those cases, in which executory proceedings are granted, debtors have fewer defenses available to prevent foreclosure, making these proceedings substantially shorter than ordinary ones. In executory proceedings the origin of the debt is not under discussion; the trial focuses on the formalities of debt instrument itself. The Procedural Code also permits special eviction proceedings, which are carried out in the same way as ordinary proceedings. The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code requires that a notice be given to the tenant demanding payment of the amounts due in the event of breach prior to eviction, of no less than ten days for leases for residential purposes and establishes no limitation or minimum notice for leases for other purposes. However, historically, large court dockets and numerous procedural hurdles have resulted in significant delays to eviction proceedings, which generally last from six months to two years from the date of filing of the suit to the time of actual eviction.
 
Development and use of the land
 
In the City of Buenos Aires, where the vast majority of IRSA CP’s properties are located, IRSA CP is subject to the following regulations:
 
 
141
 
 
Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code
 
The Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code (Código de Planeamiento Urbano de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) generally restricts the density and use of property and regulates physical features of improvements to property, such as height, design, set-back and overhang, consistent with the city’s urban planning policy. The Secretary of Urban Planning of the City of Buenos Aires (Secretaría de Planeamiento Urbano) is responsible for implementing and enforcing the Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code.
 
Buenos Aires Building Code
 
The Buenos Aires Building Code (Código de Edificación de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) complements the Buenos Aires Urban Planning Code regulating the use and development of property in the City of Buenos Aires. The Building Code requires developers to obtain building permits, including submitting architectural plans for review of the Secretary of Work and Public Services, to monitor regulatory compliance.
 
Buenos Aires Authorizations and Licenses Code
 
The Authorizations and Licenses Code (Código de Habilitaciones de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires) sets forth the conditions under which authorizations or licenses to operate may be granted. The General Bureau of Authorizations and Licenses is responsible for implementing and enforcing the Authorizations and Licenses Code. Outside the City of Buenos Aires, IRSA CP’s real estate activities are subject to similar municipal zoning, building, occupation and environmental regulations, which must also comply with national standards. In some jurisdictions IRSA CP may also be subject to regulation of large commercial areas, which require approval of the location of these areas. IRSA CP believes that all of IRSA CP’s real estate properties are in material compliance with relevant laws, ordinances and regulations.
 
Sales and ownership
 
Real Estate Installment Sales Law
 
The Real Estate Installment Sales Law No. 14,005, as amended by Law No. 23,266 and Decree No. 2015/85, or “Real Estate Installment Sales Act,” imposes a series of requirements on contracts for the sale of subdivided real estate property including, for example, that the purchase price for a property is payable in installments. The law requires, among other things:
 
Registration of intent to sell the property in subdivided plots with the Real Estate Registry in the jurisdiction where the property is located. Registration is only permitted for unencumbered property. Mortgaged property may only be registered if creditors agree to divide the debt in accordance with subdivided plots. Creditors may be judicially compelled to agree to the partition.
 
Preliminary registration with the Real Estate Registry of the purchase instrument within 30 days after its execution. Once the property is registered, the installment sale must be completed in a manner consistent with the Real Estate Installment Sales Act. If a dispute arises over the title between the purchaser and third-party creditors of the seller, the installment purchaser who has duly registered the purchase instrument will have title to the plot. The purchaser can demand conveyance of title after at least 25% of the purchase price has been paid, although the seller may record a mortgage over the subject property to secure payment of the balance of the purchase price.
 
After paying of 25% of the purchase price or advancing of at least 50% of construction, the Real Estate Installment Sales Act prohibits termination of the sales contract for failure by the purchaser to pay the balance of the purchase price but gives the seller the right to enforce under any mortgage on the property.

Buildings Law No. 19,724 (Ley de Pre horizontalidad) was repealed by the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code which provides that for purposes of execution of sales agreements for units under construction, the owner or developer must purchase insurance in favor of prospective purchasers against the risk of frustration of the development pursuant to the agreement for any reason. A breach of this obligation precludes the owner from exercising any right against the purchaser—such as demanding payment of any outstanding installments due—unless he/she fully complies with their obligations, but does not prevent the purchaser from exercising its rights against the seller.
 
Protection of the Disabled
 
The Law for Protection of the Disabled No. 22,431, enacted on March 16, 1981, as amended, provides that properties under construction or that are being remodeled must provide access for handicapped persons. Public spaces, entrances, hallways, elevators and common use facilities must be designed to provide mobility for impaired individuals. Buildings developed before enactment of the Protection for the Disabled Law must be reformatted to provide requisite access. Buildings that, because of their architectural design, may not be adapted to the use by the physically impaired, are exempted from these requirements.
 
Other regulations
 
Consumer relations, consumer or end-user protection
 
Article 42 of the Argentine Constitution establishes that consumers and users of goods and services have a right to protection of health, safety and economic interests in a consumer relationship. Consumer Protection Law No. 24,240, as amended, regulates several issues concerning the protection of consumers and end users in a consumer relationship, in the arrangement and execution of contracts. The Consumer Protection Law, and the applicable sections of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code are intended to regulate the constitutional right conferred under the Constitution on the weakest party to the consumer relationship and prevent potential abuses deriving from the stronger bargaining position of vendors of goods and services in a market economy where standard form contracts are widespread.
 
These laws deem void and unenforceable contractual provisions included in consumer contracts, that:
 
deprive obligations of their nature or limit liability for damages;
 
imply a waiver or restriction of consumer rights and an extension of seller rights; and
 
impose the shifting of the burden of proof from the consumer to the seller in order to protect the consumers.
 
In addition, the Consumer Protection Law imposes penalties ranging from warnings to the forfeiture of concession rights, privileges, tax regimes or special credits to which the sanctioned party may be entitled, including closing down establishments for a term of up to 30 days.
 
The Consumer Protection Law and the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code define consumers or end users as the individuals or legal entities that acquire or use goods or services, free of charge or for a price for their own final use or benefit or that of their family or social group. The protection under the laws afforded to consumers and end users encompasses the entire consumer relationship, from the offering of the product or service, to cover more than just those relationships established by means of a contract. Providers of goods and services include those who produce, import, distribute or commercialize goods or supply services to consumers or users (but excludes professionals whose services require a college degree or higher who are required to register in officially recognized professional organizations).
 
 
143
 
 
The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code defines a consumer agreement as one that is entered into between a consumer or end user and an individual or entity that manufactures goods or provides services to consumers for private, family or social use. The Consumer Protection Law imposes a range of penalties for violation of its provisions, from warnings to the forfeiture of concession rights, and establishes joint and several liability of each participant in the chain of distribution or whose trademark on the thing or service for damages caused to consumers derived from a defect or risk inherent in the thing or the provision of a service.
 
The Consumer Protection Law excludes the services supplied by professionals that require a college degree and registration in officially recognized professional organizations or by a governmental authority. However, this law regulates the advertisements that promote the services of such professionals.
 
The Consumer Protection Law determines that the information contained in the offer addressed to undetermined prospective consumers binds the offeror during the period when the offer is made until its public revocation. Further, it determines that specifications included in advertisements, announcements, prospectuses, circulars or other media bind the offeror and are considered part of the contract entered into by the consumer.
 
Pursuant to Resolution No. 104/2005 issued by the Secretariat of Technical Coordination reporting to the Argentine Ministry of Treasury, Consumer Protection Law adopted Resolution No. 21/2004 issued by the Mercosur’s Common Market Group, persons engaged in internet commerce must precisely disclose the characteristics of the products and/or services offered and the sale terms. Failure to comply with the terms of the offer is deemed an unjustified denial to sell and may give rise to sanctions.
 
On September 17, 2014, the Argentine Congress enacted Law No. 26,993 called “Conflict Resolution in Consumer Relationships System” law that provides for creation of new administrative and judicial procedures. The law created a bicameral administrative system: the Preliminary Conciliation Service for Consumer Relations (Servicio de Conciliación Previa en las Relaciones de Consumo), or “COPREC,” and the Consumer Relations Audit, and a number of courts assigned to the resolution of conflicts between consumers and providers (Fuero Judicial Nacional de Consumo). The amount of any filed claim may not exceed a fixed amount equivalent to 55 adjustable minimum wages, as determined by the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security. The claim must be filed with the administrative agency. If an agreement is not reached, the claimant may file the claim in court. While COPREC is currently in full force and effect, the court system (Fuero Judicial Nacional de Consumo) is still pending. Therefore, any current claim must be filed with existing courts. A considerable number of claims pending against us are expected to be settled within the framework of this system.
 
Antitrust Law
 
Law No. 27,442, as amended, or the “Antitrust Law,” prevents collusive practices by market participants and requires administrative approval for transactions that according to the Antitrust Law constitute an economic concentration. According to this law, mergers, transfers of goodwill, acquisitions of property or rights over shares, capital or other convertible securities, or similar transactions by which the acquirer controls or substantially influences a company, are considered as an economic concentration. Whenever an economic concentration involves a company or companies and the aggregate volume of business in Argentina of the companies concerned exceeds 100 million mobile units, the respective concentration must be submitted for approval to the CNDC. The request for approval may be filed, either prior to the transaction or the implementing of the control take.
 
For the purpose of determining the volume of the business mentioned on the paragraph before, the CNDC will annually inform the amount in legal currency that will apply during the corresponding year. For that purpose, the CNDC will consider the mobile unit value current at the last business day of the previous year. When a request for approval is filed, the CNDC may (i) authorize the transaction, (ii) subordinate the transaction to the accomplishment of certain conditions or (iii) reject the authorization.
 
 
144
 
 
The Antitrust Law provides those economic concentrations in which the transaction amount and the value of the assets subject to acquisition or disposition do not exceed 20 million mobile units each do not require approval. When the amount of the transactions consummated in the preceding 12 months exceeds in aggregate 20 million mobile units or 60 million mobile units in the preceding 36 months, these transactions require CNDC approval.
 
As IRSA CP’s consolidated annual sales volume and IRSA CP’s parent’s consolidated annual sales volume exceed ARS 200.0 million, IRSA CP must give notice to the CNDC of any concentration provided for under the Antitrust Law.
 
Money laundering
 
For more information about money laundering regulations see, “Item 10. Additional Information—E. Money Laundering” of IRSA CP’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on October 20, 2021 (SEC File No. 000-30982) (as it may be amended, the “IRSA CP 2021 Form 20-F”).
 
Environmental Law
 
IRSA CP’s activities are subject to several national, provincial and municipal environmental provisions.
 
Article 41 of the Argentine Constitution, as amended in 1994, provides that all Argentine inhabitants have the right to a healthy and balanced environment fit for human development and have the duty to preserve it. Environmental damage shall bring about primarily the obligation to restore it as provided by applicable law. The authorities shall control the protection of this right, the rational use of natural resources, the preservation of the natural and cultural heritage and of biodiversity and shall also provide for environmental information and education. The National Government shall establish minimum standards for environmental protection whereas Provincial and Municipal Governments shall fix specific standards and regulatory provisions.
 
On November 6, 2009, the Argentine Congress passed Law No. 25,675. Such law regulates the minimum standards for the achievement of a sustainable environment and the preservation and protection of biodiversity and fixes environmental policy goals.
 
Law No. 25,675 establishes the activities that will be subject to an environmental impact assessment procedure and certain requirements applicable thereto. In addition, such Law sets forth the duties and obligations that will be triggered by any damage to the environment and mainly provides for restoration of the environment to its former condition or, if that is not technically feasible, for payment of compensation in lieu thereof. Such Law also fosters environmental education and provides for certain minimum reporting obligations to be fulfilled by natural and legal entities.
 
In addition, the CNV Rules require the obligation to report to the CNV any events of any nature and fortuitous acts that seriously hinder or could potentially hinder performance of IRSA CP’s activities, including any events that generate or may generate significant impacts on the environment, providing details on the consequences thereof.
 
The new Argentine Civil and Commercial Code has introduced as a novel feature the acknowledgement of collective rights, including the right to a healthy and balanced environment. Accordingly, the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code expressly sets forth that the law does not protect an abusive exercise of individual rights if such exercise could have an adverse impact on the environment and the rights with a collective impact in general.

Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance
 
IRSA CP is an integral part of the communities in which IRSA CP’s business units are based. It is IRSA CP’s objective to articulate the interests of IRSA CP’s businesses with the agenda of these communities, collaborating with the generation of economic, social and environmental value. Based on this orientation, IRSA CP’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy is based on making IRSA CP’s business units the scene of actions that fall within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations. Some of these SDGS are Inequality Reduction; Gender Equality; Water Care; Responsible Production and Consumption; Waste; Partnership for the Goals; Quality Education; Value Chain; Sustainable Cities and Communities; Good Health & Well- Being; Environmental Care; Climate Action and Volunteering.
 
It should be noted that more than 110 million people per year visit IRSA CP’s shopping malls, which is both a great advantage and a huge responsibility for the dissemination of IRSA CP’s community activities. They are the ideal place to disseminate and make visible the topics of interest of the society in general, to become aware and act. This agenda of issues is agreed with the social organizations of each community, with the public sector and academics in each subject. This is how IRSA CP strengthens IRSA CP’s bond, focusing on medium and small organizations, generating long-term alliances, incorporating actors in the value chain and collaborating with actors in the communities where IRSA CP develops.
 
In the office buildings IRSA CP has large national and international companies as tenants. They are organizations that are committed at a local and global level with the impact of their actions, both economically, socially and environmentally. They are IRSA CP’s strategic partners in actions that IRSA CP develops in the communities where the buildings are located.
 
IRSA CP agrees on the agenda of topics with the social organizations of each community, with the public sector and specialists in each subject. In this way, IRSA CP strengthens ties and generate long-term alliances, IRSA CP incorporates actors in the value chain and collaborate with actors in the communities where IRSA CP operates.
 
Actions during the COVID19 emergency
 
From the IRSA Group IRSA CP carries out different actions in the face of the pandemic to collaborate in the face of the emergency in the country. The commitment as a company is to work to improve the communities in which IRSA CP is present and in the face of an event such as the one that occurred, it was important to act quickly and determinedly.
 
From the first moment IRSA CP made itself available to collaborate from IRSA CP’s place. IRSA CP joins in communicating the prevention and hygiene measures in IRSA CP’s offices and internal communication spaces for employees, as well as from IRSA CP’s social networks to the entire public of IRSA CP’s shopping malls. At the same time, IRSA CP joins different initiatives of both donation and corporate volunteering.

IRSA CP innovates in the use of the best practices for the development of IRSA CP’s activities.
 
IRSA CP works to achieve balance in the efficient use of resources and a growing real estate development. IRSA CP cares about the relationship with IRSA CP’s people and the neighbors of the communities where IRSA CP chooses to work, of which IRSA CP is part.

146
 
 
IRSA CP works towards continuous improvement, environmental protection and compliance with current legislation and regulations, including those to which IRSA CP voluntarily subscribes.
 
IRSA CP is part of a process of cultural change, which IRSA CP shares and extends to the people with whom IRSA CP interacts.
 
IRSA CP’s establishments have a large influence of visitors and are also followed on social networks through the different sites and web portals, placing us in a privileged place from which IRSA CP promotes good environmental practices.
 
The Environment area works on the training and environmental awareness of IRSA CP’s collaborators and suppliers in the outstanding topics of the year due to their particular interest and the usual ones of environmental management in search of continuous improvement.
 
Environmental Management Certification
 
Pursuing improvement in the environmental management of shopping malls, IRSA CP has 4 ISO 14001 certified shopping malls: Alto Palermo, Dot Baires, Patio Bullrich and Distrito Arcos. Annually IRSA CP submits to the evaluation of an external auditor who reviews IRSA CP’s processes and assists us in those points that can be improved.
 
IRSA CP continues to work on new certifications and takes on more challenges. IRSA CP’s City of Buenos Aires shopping malls are already part of the Circular Economy Network, which is an initiative of the Government of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires that generates an articulated work space between the different actors that are part of society (companies, NGOs and universities) to build a more sustainable city. Alto Palermo Shopping, Dot Baires Shopping, Alcorta Shopping, Patio Bullrich, Distrito Arcos and Abasto Shopping have already signed the adhesion.
 
Likewise, the latest office buildings developed by the company have the necessary characteristics to achieve LEED certifications. The Zetta building inaugurated in May 2019, located in the Polo Dot shopping complex in the north of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, achieved the Leed Silver Core & Shell certification and the Della Paolera 261 building, located in the area of Catalinas, inaugurated in December 2020, has the necessary characteristics to receive the LEED Gold Core & Shell certification.
 
IRSA CP works to achieve a balance between efficient use of resources and growing real estate development. IRSA CP cares about the relationship with IRSA CP’s people and the neighbors of the communities where IRSA CP chooses to work, of which IRSA CP is part.
 
Training and qualification program

Talks and actions are held for shopping malls personnel, properties tenants, and related suppliers, involving urban waste recovery cooperatives to share their experience, learn about their work and the importance of carrying out proper waste management.
 
Fundación IRSA
 
Fundación IRSA was created in 1996 with the purpose of supporting and generating actions that promote the development of people so that they can face their needs and expectations autonomously. With this objective, it develops its own programs and projects in the community that stimulate them to achieve a full life. It strengthens civil society organizations because it relies on joint and network work that enhances individualities and sustainable links.
 
 
147
 
 
Since 2014, Fundación IRSA has invested in improving hospital equipment and providing state-of-the-art devices and health supplies to hospitals and health centers in IRSA CP’s country. Also during 6 years it has promoted the training and education of young professionals who make up the Argentine health care system, with a special focus on early childhood nutrition and nursing.
 
Within the framework of the health and economic impact of COVID-19, Fundación IRSA strengthened the social strengthening actions that it had been implementing since 2016. With the aim of helping the most vulnerable populations have a healthy diet, it allocated significant economic resources to more than 20 community kitchens to supplement the monthly feeding of children and young people with fruits, vegetables, meats and dairy products and to provide themselves with cleaning and personal hygiene items.
 
The MultipliDAR program continued through which all employees of the Group’s companies are offered the possibility of multiplying their personal donations to civil society organizations in their referential world to strengthen their solidarity initiative. Through the MultipliDAR program, the amount that the collaborator has previously donated to the entity is equalized, doubled and tripled.
 
The Foundation supports initiatives that enhance the interaction between education and culture for the growth of society. It seeks educational innovation through comprehensive access to technology with new ways of learning and more active teaching strategies. Together with other social organizations, it works for the recognition of the value that exists in identity and respect for diversity.
 
With an attentive look at current needs and recurring problems, Fundación IRSA has decided in 2020 to accompany “Red por la Infancia” in its process of creating the “Observatory on First Practices for Addressing Child Abuse”. In its first stage, it is proposed to gather evidence to contribute to the construction of a diagnosis of the situation and identify the degree of normative development, the pending challenges at the legislative level, the degree of progress in public policies and in the administration of justice in child protection against violence.
 
IRSA, under the integral coordination of the Foundation, continued its work as an investor in the First Bond of Social Impact of Argentina in which the State and the companies worked together aiming at generating employment conditions for extremely vulnerable youth through a new methodology of payment for results. In a complex context due to the pandemic, the program managed to train 880 young people in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and 287 of them to enter the labor market. Next year ends this first experience in Argentina, key for the development of future Bonds focused on different social problems, providing relevant data and information that will open the way to develop a more efficient Public Policy based on the local evidence generated.
 
During the last fiscal year 2020-2021, Fundación IRSA worked with 78 civil society organizations, making a direct social investment of ARS 126,955,959.
 
Puerta 18 Foundation
 
The Puerta 18 Foundation is a free space for artistic and technological creation for young people from 13 to 24 years old. Through a non-formal education proposal, it encourages the development of skills, vocations, and talents in young people through the multiple resources offered by technology.
 
Throughout its 13 years, more than 5,000 young people were trained for free and today there are more than 200 who have been inserted into work in areas related to their training in the institution.
 
IRSA CP’s view is based on placing the young person at the center of the proposal, which revolves around their interests and needs, and where educators act as facilitators using technology as a tool. Some of the disciplines IRSA CP works with are: Graphic Design, Photography, UX, Programming, Comprehensive Video Production, 3D Modeling and Animation, Videogames, Robotics, among others.

IRSA CP owns a parcel of land with a surface area of 23,791 square meters in the “Caballito” neighborhood, one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the City of Buenos Aires, which IRSA CP purchased in November 1997. This land could be used to build a 30,000 square meter shopping mall that could include a hypermarket, a cinema complex and various leisure and entertainment areas. On December 23, 2019, the company has transferred in a barter transaction the Plot 1 of the land, which has an estimated surface area of ​​3,221 square meters in which a 10-story apartment building will be developed for a total of 11,400 square meters, a commercial ground floor for 1,216 square meters and a basement of 138 parking spaces

Legal Proceedings
 
Legal or Arbitration Proceedings
 
Arcos del Gourmet
 
IRSA CP has been named as a party in a case titled “Federación de Comercio e Industria de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y Otros c/ Gobierno de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires s/ Amparo.” The plaintiff filed a petition for injunctive relief against the local government claiming that the Arcos del Gourmet project lacked the necessary environmental approvals and did not meet zoning requirements. On August 29, 2014, the lower court rendered a decision dismissing the case.
 
This resolution was appealed but affirmed in December 2014. Therefore, on December 18, 2014, the “Arcos” Project was opened to the public, and currently is operating normally. Notwithstanding, the plaintiff appeared before the Superior Court of the City of Buenos Aires to request the review of the case based on constitutional matters allegedly at issue. On July 4, 2017, the Superior Court ordered the Appeals Court to review the case on certain grounds. The Appeals Court rendered a new sentence on February 14 2019. This new sentence rules that Arcos del Gourmet has to yield a portion of land to build a green park. Arcos del Gourmet filed an appeal before the Superior Court. This appeal has been decided and Arcos del Gourmet filed an appeal complaint for appeal denied.
 
On May 18, 2015, IRSA CP was notified that the AABE, revoked the concession agreement granted to IRSA CP’s subsidiary Arcos del Gourmet S.A., through Resolution No. 170/2014. On June 2, 2015, IRSA CP filed before the AABE a request to declare the notification void, as certain formal proceedings required under Argentine law were not complied with by the AABE. Furthermore, IRSA CP filed an administrative appeal requesting the dismissal of the revocation of the concession agreement and a lawsuit seeking to declare Resolution No. 170/2014 void. IRSA CP also filed a lawsuit in order to judicially pay the monthly rental fees of the property. As of the date of this prospectus, the “Distrito Arcos” shopping mall continues to operate normally. 
 
On February 14, 2019, the Chamber decided to condemn the Government of the City of Buenos Aires (“GCBA”) and Arcos, providing for the partial annulment of resolution 157 / APRA / 14 at the point that it did not consider appropriate for Arcos to transfer 65% of the land for use and public utility with unrestricted access and destined “especially and preferably to the generation of new landscaped green spaces”. Consequently, it was resolved that the GCBA must issue an administrative act that provides for this assignment. If it does not do so, Arcos must also comply with said assignment, either on the premises where the commercial center is currently located, be it totally or partially on land adjacent to the area. Failing to do this, Arcos del Gourmet S.A. (“Arcos”) must pay, prior to the realization of an expert report to be ordered in the execution stage, the sum of money necessary in order for the Administration to proceed to the search for a property with the objective of fulfilling the aforementioned purpose. If none of the aforementioned forms of compliance are specified, the power to order will be expedited – prior intervention of the relevant experts and / or technical departments of the corresponding GCBA – the demolition of the necessary works in order to comply with the ordered assignment.
 
Against that judgment, an appeal for local unconstitutionality was filed on March 11, 2019 and a federal extraordinary appeal on March 15, 2019. After the relevant transfers were made, the Chamber decided to reject the appeal for unconstitutionality raised, which is why on May 29, 2019, a complaint was lodged due to an appeal of unconstitutionality denied. Said appeal is pending before the Superior Court of Justice of the City of Buenos Aires. On June 10, 2019, said the Court urged Arcos to accompany additional documentation. This documentation consists of provisions dictated by different departments of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires. Such intimation was fulfilled in a timely manner.
 
On March 2019, Arcos filed a petition for injunctive relief in order to suspend all judicial or administrative proceedings of launch or eviction, by which it is intended to execute, in a forced way, the AABE resolution No. 170/2014, until the final judgment is issued in the nullity proceeding. The injunctive relief was sentenced and renewed once but AABE and Playas Ferroviarias appealed the judgment and finally, in September 2021, the Court of Appeal revoked the first instance judgement of suspension of eviction of the Distrito Arcos that was filed against. Against that judgment, ARCOS filed a federal extraordinary appeal in September 2021, which hasn’t been solved yet.

Due to all of the foregoing, IRSA CP’s legal advisors, although they consider that the outcome of the complaint is still uncertain, they consider that even if it is unfavorable, there is a low probability that, once the court ruling in the case is signed and once all recursive instances have been exhausted, the demolition of the works carried out in the Property is definitively ordered.
 
Caballito
 
On July 20, 2020 IRSA CP has been notified of the filing of a protection action (amparo) that is processed before the Administrative and Tax Litigation Jurisdiction of the City of Buenos Aires, Court 24, Secretariat 47 where the plaintiff has requested the nullity of: 1) Administrative act that grants the certificate of environmental aptitude and 2) Administrative act that registered the plans of the work called –Caballito Chico– located on Avellaneda 1400, City of Buenos Aires, because it is understood that they contain defects in their essential elements, for being violative of the provisions contained in the Urban Planning Code and of the complementary regulations in force at the time of initiating the process and for causing irreparable damage to the environment and rights of collective incidence. The transfer was answered by the precautionary measure and by the substantive action. The transfer of said presentation was answered. On August 13, 2020, the following precautionary measure was decreed that orders: a) the suspension of the effects of the administrative acts granted by the CCA (DI-2018-1865-DGEVA and that registered the plans and; b) the stoppage of construction work carried out on the property located at Avellaneda 1400, City of Buenos Aires. The issuance of said precautionary measure was appealed. On October 1, 2020, the Court of Appeal confirmed the precautionary measure. The Government of the City of Buenos Aires appealed the measure by filing a Constitutional Challenge that was denied filling a complaint appeal. Regarding the main proceeding, it is in process of trial.
 
Exchange Controls and Other Limitations Affecting Security Holders
 
On September 1, 2019, the Argentine government issued Decree No. 609/2019, pursuant to which foreign exchange controls were temporarily imposed until December 31, 2019. On January 3, 2020, the Argentine government issued Decree No. 91/2019, which permanently extended the foreign exchange controls that expired on December 31, 2019.
 
At present, foreign exchange regulations are included in the Consolidated Text on Foreign Trade and Exchange issued by Communication (Central Bank, also referred to as “BCRA”) “A” 6844 as supplemented.
 
A brief summary of the exchange control regulations in force as of the date of this prospectus is set forth below.
 
Exports of Goods
 
As a general rule, exporters of goods must repatriate, and settle in pesos through the foreign exchange market, the proceeds from exports cleared through customs after September 2, 2019 within different deadlines, depending on certain factors (nature of goods, relationship between exporter and importer, etc.). In certain cases (e.g. certificate of increase of exports against 2020, proyects falling under the Investment Promotion Regime for Exports set out by the Executive Order 234/21, etc.) exporters have greater access to the foreign exchange market.
 
Sale of Non-Financial Assets
 
Proceeds in foreign currency from the sale of non-financial assets must be repatriated and settled in pesos in the foreign exchange market within five business days from the date of collection in Argentina or abroad, or the date of deposit of such amounts in foreign bank accounts.
 
Exports of Services
 
Exporters of services must repatriate, and settle in pesos through the foreign exchange market, the proceeds from their exports within five business days from the date of collection in Argentina or abroad, or the date of deposit of such amounts in foreign bank accounts.
 
Imports of Goods and Services
 
Except for certain exceptions current regulations provide for, importers of goods and/or services must obtain prior authorization from the Central Bank for the settlement of foreign currency-denominated debts in connection with the import of goods and services.
 
Foreign Assets
 
Prior authorization from the Central Bank is required for the acquisition of foreign assets (e.g., purchase of foreign currency, among others) and for derivative transactions by Argentine companies, Argentine local governments, Argentine mutual funds, trusts and other Argentine entities. Individuals must request authorization when the value of such assets exceed USD 200 (in the case of withdrawals from Argentine bank accounts) or USD 100 (in the case of cash purchases) in any calendar month.
 
 
154
 
 
External Financial Indebtedness
 
Borrowers must repatriate and settle in the foreign exchange market the proceeds from financial indebtedness incurred after September 1, 2019, as a condition for accessing the foreign exchange market to make debt service payments thereunder. Subject to compliance with requirements set forth in the regulations, access to the foreign exchange market will be granted for the repayment of principal or interest up to three business days in advance of the due date.
 
Communication “A” 7,030, and its amendments, establishes the prior agreement of the Central Bank, until December 31, 2021, for the cancellation of capital services of financial debts with creditors abroad, provided that the creditor is a related counterparty, with limited exceptions.
 
Additionally, Communication “A” 7,106 and its amendments established the requirement, for those who register scheduled capital maturities until December, 2021 with creditors that are not related counterparties, to submit to the Central Bank a detail of a refinancing plan complying with certain criteria established in the said Communication, with limited exceptions (e.g. proceeds from financial indebtedness incurred after January 1, 2020, that were repatriated and settled in the foreign exchange market). Specifically, the Central Bank will grant access to companies for an amount up to 40% of maturities and companies must refinance the rest for a term of at least 2 years. This, provided that the amount for which the exchange market would be accessed for the cancellation of principal exceeds the equivalent of USD 2,000,000 per calendar month, with some exceptions, expressly provided for by the regulation.
 
Indebtedness Between Residents
 
Prior authorization from the Central Bank is required for the payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations between Argentine residents after September 1, 2019, with limited exceptions. However, no prior authorization is required for the payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations to Argentine financial entities, including, among others, payments made in respect of credit cards.
 
Profits and Dividends
 
Prior authorization from the Central Bank is required for the transfer of profits and/or dividends outside of Argentina, unless certain requirements expressly provided for by current regulation are met.
 
Non-Residents
 
Non-residents must obtain prior authorization from the Central Bank to access the foreign exchange market to purchase foreign currency, with limited exceptions.
 
Reporting Regime
 
In all cases, access to the foreign exchange market for the payment of financial or commercial debts will be granted to the extent that such debts were disclosed in accordance with the Central Bank’s reporting regime established through Communication “A” 6,401, if applicable.
 
Outgoings
 
Outflow of funds
 
Consolidated Text on Foreign Trade and Exchange provides for prior approval of the Central Bank in order to carry out any outflow of funds, unless the clients submit several affidavits related to (i) foreign currency holdings and liquid external assets; (ii) own and controlling company’s securities transactions (blue chip swap, “dolar MEP”, etc.); and (iii) economic benefits granted by the State.
 
 
155
 
 
Through Communication “A” 7,001, as amended by Communication “A” 7,030, the Central Bank established certain restrictions to carry out sales of securities via the settlement of foreign currency and its transfer to depository institutions abroad. In this connection, in order to carry out any outflow of funds, the entity must:
 
(i) request the prior approval of the Central Bank; or
 
(ii) rely on an affidavit stating that the client did not carry out neither sales of securities via the settlement of foreign currency, nor its transfer to foreign depository entities on the day that access to the foreign exchange market was requested and within 90 days prior to such request, as well as that the customer undertakes not to carry out such transactions from the date access to the foreign exchange market is requested and for the subsequent 90 calendar days.
 
The Central Bank Communication “A” 7,030 also establishes the prior approval of the Central Bank to carry out any outflow of funds through the foreign exchange market from May 29, 2020 onwards, with some exceptions.
 
In addition, Communication “A” 7,030, as amended, established the prior approval of the Central Bank for certain outflow of funds through the foreign exchange market, unless the entity has an affidavit from the client stating that at the time of access to the foreign exchange market:
 
(a) All of its local foreign currency holdings are deposited in accounts in financial institutions and that it did not have liquid external assets available at the beginning of the day that access to the foreign exchange market is requested for a higher amount equivalent to USD 100,000 (with some exceptions, expressly provided for by the regulation).
 
(b) Undertakes to settle in pesos through the foreign exchange market, within five working days of its availability, those funds received abroad resulting from the collection of loans granted to third parties, the collection of a term deposit or the sale of any type of asset, when the asset has been acquired, the deposit constituted or the loan granted after May 28, 2020.
 
In addition to the above, by means of Communication “A” 7327, the Central Bank established that, as of July 12, 2021, in order for residents to be granted access to the foreign exchange market, it will be required (in addition to the preexisting conditions), that: (i) on the same day that such access is required and within the previous 90 days, such local resident has not exchanged securities for other foreign assets (in addition to the already existing requirement of not having sold securities with settlement in foreign currency or transferred them to depository institutions abroad during the same period); and (ii) for legal entities, to submit a sworn statement informing (a) a list of the persons or legal entities that directly control the client; and (b) that within the previous 90 days (or since July 12, 2021, in the event that 90 days have not yet elapsed since that date), the legal entity has not delivered in the country any funds in local currency or other liquid local assets to any of the aforementioned persons (except for those directly associated with usual transactions involving the acquisition of goods and/or services). Alternatively, the requirement set forth in (b) may be considered fulfilled if the legal entity submits a sworn statement executed by each of those persons exercising direct control stating that, during the same period, no sales of securities with settlement in foreign currency, or exchanges of securities for other external assets, or transfers thereof to depository institutions abroad, have been made.
 
On October 5, 2021, by means of General Resolution 907/21, a limit on the sale of securities which are denominated in U.S. dollars and issued under local law was established at the end of each week for those transactions that had a concurrence of tenders received with a priority of price and time. This limit may not exceed the amount of fifty thousand nominal values settled. Plus, it was also established as prior condition for those transactions that the orders may only be given if no sales have been made with foreign settlement in the previous thirty days, and a commit not to do so within thirty subsequent calendar days.

Securities trading
 
Central Bank Communication “A” 7106, as amended by Communication “A” 7308, established that securities transactions performed in Argentina, unlike securities transactions performed abroad, can be settled in ARS in Argentina.
 
Central Bank Communication “A” 7340 provides that securities sale transactions settled in foreign currency must be paid by one of the following mechanisms:
 
By transfer of funds to and from demand accounts held in the customer’s name with local financial institutions;
 
Against wire transfers on bank accounts in the customer’s name with a foreign entity that is not incorporated in countries or territories where the Recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force do not apply, or do not sufficiently apply.
 
This Communication “A” 7340 also prohibits the settlement of purchase and sale transactions of securities with settlement in foreign currency through payment in foreign currency cash, or through their deposit in custody accounts or accounts of third parties.
 
No sales of securities with settlement in foreign currency may be executed in Argentina, and such securities may not be transferred to foreign depositaries or exchanged for other external assets, by persons that were granted with certain benefits (beneficiaries of refinancings contemplated under Section 2.1.1. of the regulations on “Financial services under the scope of the health emergency ordered by Decree No. 260/2020 Coronavirus (COVID-19”, etc.).
 
On July 8, 2021, the Securities Regulator (“CNV”), approved General Resolution 895/2021, to increase the minimum holding periods for the settlement of securities against foreign currency and in foreign jurisdiction.  Said General Resolution does not incorporate modifications for the settlement of securities against local currency.
 
The minimum holding period, locally known as “Parking Period”, for securities in the local custodian to be applied to the settlement of transactions in foreign currency and in foreign jurisdiction (i.e., settlement against “Dollar Cable” in a foreign account) was set to two (2) business days. This Parking Period does not apply in the case of purchases of securities with settlement in foreign currency and in a foreign jurisdiction. 
 
In the case of sales of securities with settlement in foreign currency, but in local jurisdiction (i.e., settlement against a MEP transfer to a local account), the Parking Period remains one (1) business day.  This Parking Period shall not apply in the case of purchases of securities settling in foreign currency.
 
The Parking Period prior to settlement against foreign currency and in foreign jurisdiction (i.e. settlement against “Dollar Cable” in a foreign account) for locally credited securities from foreign depositories (i.e. acquired from foreign agents) has also been set to two (2) business days. In the case of transactions with settlement in foreign currency and in local jurisdiction (i.e., settlement against a MEP transfer to a local account), the Parking Period remains at 1 (ONE) business day.
 
Finally, the CNV also modified the maximum limits for weekly transactions in sovereign securities issued by the Argentine Republic for each principal sub-account in the time-priority bidding segment (ByMA), which prior to the entry into force of the General Resolution was one hundred thousand (100,000) nominal amounts (only for securities issued under local law).  According to the new General Resolution, the limit was split into (i) fifty thousand (50,000) nominals for securities issued under local law, purchased with settlement in such currency and jurisdiction, and (ii) fifty thousand (50,000) nominals for securities issued under foreign law.  These limits continue not to apply to wholesale transactions (MAE/SENEBI).

Taxation
 
For description of certain material United States federal income and Argentine tax consequences of the ownership of IRSA CP Securities, you should read the section entitled “Addittional Information––Taxation”, of IRSA CP 2021 Form 20-F, and you should consult your own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the ownership of IRSA CP Securities in light of your particular circumstances.
 
Operational and Financial Review
 
A. Operating Results
 
The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read together with IRSA CP Audited Financial Statements as of and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion and analysis of IRSA CP’s financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These forward-looking statements include such words as, “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes” and similar language. IRSA CP’s actual results may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including without limitation those set forth elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
The objective of IRSA CP’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis section is to provide a description of IRSA CP’s economic and financial condition as of June 30, 2021, particularly considering that the operating results for such fiscal year have been affected by the restrictions due to the COVID19 pandemic. IRSA CP's shopping malls were closed for most of the year while the offices remained operational, even though most of the tenants adopted the remote work modality. In this sense, the purpose of IRSA CP’s management’s discussion and analysis is to describe the impact of the pandemic and other macroeconomic or operational drivers over our business segments in order to explain the reasons or causes that originate our results of operations.
 
General
 
IRSA CP prepares its audited consolidated financial statements in pesos and in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB, and with CNV Rules.
 
Historically, IRSA CP measured the value of IRSA CP’s portfolio of investment properties at cost. IRSA CP’s Board of Directors resolved to change IRSA CP’s accounting policy for measuring the value of IRSA CP’s investment properties from the cost model to the fair value model, as permitted under IAS 40. Accordingly, IRSA CP retroactively recasts IRSA CP’s previously issued audited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014 as required by IAS 40 and IAS 8. IRSA CP has furnished to the SEC such audited consolidated financial statements as recast in a report on Form 6-K filed on May 26, 2017.
 
 
158
 
 
IRSA CP Audited Financial Statements and the financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. IRSA CP has determined that, as of July 1, 2018, the Argentine economy qualifies as a hyperinflationary economy according to the guidelines of IAS 29 since the total cumulative inflation in Argentina in the 36 months prior to July 1, 2018 exceeded 100%. IAS 29 requires that the financial information recorded in a hyperinflationary currency be adjusted by applying a general price index and expressed in the measuring unit (the hyperinflationary currency) current at the end of the reporting period. Therefore, IRSA CP Audited Financial Statements included in this prospectus have been adjusted by applying a general price index and expressed in the measuring unit (the hyperinflationary currency) current at the end of the reporting period (June 30, 2020). See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Argentina— A high level of uncertainty with regard to these economic variables, and a general lack of stability in terms of inflation, could have a negative impact on economic activity and adversely affect IRSA CP’s financial condition.”

Factors affecting IRSA CP’s results of operations
 
Effects of Argentine macroeconomic factors
 
Most of IRSA CP’s assets are located in Argentina, where IRSA CP conducts its operations. Therefore, IRSA CP’s financial condition and the results of IRSA CP’s operations are significantly dependent upon economic conditions prevailing in Argentina. The table below shows Argentina’s GDP, inflation rates, dollar exchange rates, the appreciation (depreciation) of the Peso against the U.S. dollar for the indicated periods (inter-annual information—which is the 12 month period preceding the dates presented—is presented to conform to IRSA CP’s fiscal year periods).

Argentine GDP increased 17.9% during IRSA CP’s 2021 fiscal year, compared to a contraction of 19.1% in IRSA CP’s fiscal year 2020. Nationally, shopping mall sales increased 448.8% compared to fiscal year 2020 and 59.5% comparing fiscal 2021 to 2019. As of June 30, 2021, the unemployment rate was at 9.6% of the country’s economically active population compared to 13.1% as of June 30, 2020. The monthly estimate of economic activity (“EMAE”) as of June 30, 2021, increased by 10.8% compared to the same month in 2020. In the second quarter of 2021, the activity rate was 45.9%, the employment rate was 41.5% and the unemployment rate was 9.6%.
 
In the context of the health emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the main impact on the labor market was verified in the dynamics of the employment rate (TE), which measures the proportion of employed persons in relation to the total population. The second quarter of 2021 basically showed no changes compared to the first quarter of the year; but an increase of 8.1 p.p. compared to the second quarter of 2020, driven by the lower proportion of people who were able to report to work during 2020. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, total sales at current prices in the month of June 2021 relevant to the survey reached a total of ARS 15,805.8 million, which represents an increase of 448.8% compared to the month of June 2020 and 59.5% compared to the month of June 2019.
 
Changes in short- and long-term interest rates, unemployment and inflation rates may reduce the availability of consumer credit and the purchasing power of individuals who frequent shopping malls. These factors, combined with low GDP growth, may reduce general consumption rates at IRSA CP’s shopping malls. Since most of the lease agreements at IRSA CP’s shopping malls, IRSA CP’s main source of revenue, require tenants to pay a percentage of their total sales as rent, a general reduction in consumption may reduce IRSA CP’s revenue. A reduction in the number of shoppers at IRSA CP’s shopping malls and, consequently, in the demand for parking, may also reduce IRSA CP’s revenue from services rendered.

It is worth mentioning that Argentina government, is moving forward with the vaccination plan. As of the date of this prospectus, more than 64.3 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine had been administered. Currently there are more than 24.4 million people fully vaccinated in Argentina, representing approximately 54% of Argentina’s total population. The advance of the virus could imply an economic deterioration of any of Argentina's main trading partners (including Brazil, the European Union, China and the United States) as a result of the adoption of measures to contain the pandemic similar to those implemented in Argentina. The contraction in the economies of Argentina's trading partners could have a significant adverse impact on Argentina's trade balance through lower demand for exports or through a fall in the prices of agricultural commodities, negatively affecting the economy of Argentina.

The current structure of IRSA CP’s leases for shopping mall tenants generally include provisions that provide for payment of variable rent, which is a percentage of a shopping mall tenant’s sales. Therefore, the projected cash flows for these shopping malls generally are highly correlated with GDP growth and consumption power.
 
For the lease of spaces at IRSA CP’s shopping malls IRSA CP uses for most tenants a standard lease agreement, the terms and conditions of which are described elsewhere in this prospectus. However, IRSA CP’s largest tenants generally negotiate better terms for their respective leases. No assurance can be given that lease terms will be as set forth in the standard lease agreement.
 
The rent specified in IRSA CP’s leases generally is the higher of (i) a monthly Base Rent and (ii) a specified percentage of the store’s monthly gross sales, which generally ranges between 3% and 12% of such sales.
 
Indebtedness
 
Although many of IRSA CP’s lease agreements contain price adjustment provisions, these are not based on an official index nor do they reflect the inflation index. In the event of litigation regarding these adjustment provisions, there can be no assurance that IRSA CP may be able to enforce such clauses contained in IRSA CP’s lease agreements. See “Information of the company—Business Overview—IRSA CP’s Shopping Malls—Principal Terms of IRSA CP’s Leases.”
 
Continuing increases in the rate of inflation are likely to have an adverse effect on IRSA CP’s operations. Although higher inflation rates in Argentina may increase minimum lease payments, given that tenants tend to pass on any increases in their expenses to consumers, higher inflation may lead to an increase in the prices IRSA CP’s tenants charge consumers for their products and services, which may ultimately reduce their sales volumes and consequently the portion of rent IRSA CP receives based on IRSA CP’s tenants’ gross sales.
 
 
161
 
 
In addition, IRSA CP measures the fair market value of IRSA CP’s shopping malls based upon the estimated cash flows generated by such assets which, as discussed in previous paragraphs, is directly related to consumer spending since a significant component of the rent payment received from IRSA CP’s tenants is tied to the sales realized by such tenants (i.e. is a percentage of the sales of IRSA CP’s tenants). Therefore, macroeconomic conditions in Argentina have an impact in the fair market value of IRSA CP’s shopping malls as measured in pesos. Specifically, since IRSA CP’s tenants’ products have been adjusted (increased) to account for inflation of the peso, IRSA CP’s expected cash flows from IRSA CP’s shopping malls have similarly increased in nominal terms since rent is largely dependent on sales of IRSA CP’s tenants in pesos.
 
Seasonality
 
IRSA CP’s business is directly affected by seasonality, influencing the level of IRSA CP’s tenants’ sales. During Argentine summer holidays (January and February) IRSA CP’s tenants’ sales typically reach their lowest level, whereas during winter holidays (July) and in Christmas (December) they reach their maximum level. Clothing retailers generally change their collections in spring and autumn, positively affecting IRSA CP’s shopping malls’ sales. Discount sales at the end of each season are also one of the main seasonal factors affecting IRSA CP’s business.
 
Effects of interest rate fluctuations
 
Most of IRSA CP’s U.S. dollar-denominated debt accrues interest at a fixed rate. An increase in interest rates will result in generate a significant increase in IRSA CP’s financing costs that could materially affect IRSA CP’s financial condition or IRSA CP’s results of operations. In addition, a significant increase of interest rates could deteriorate the terms and conditions in which IRSA CP’s tenants obtain financing from banks and financial institutions in the market. As a consequence of that, if they suffer liquidity problems, the collection of IRSA CP’s lease contracts could be affected by an increase in the level of delinquency.
 
Effects of foreign currency fluctuations
 
A significant portion of IRSA CP’s financial debt is denominated in U.S. dollars. Therefore, a devaluation or depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar would increase IRSA CP’s indebtedness measured in pesos and materially affect IRSA CP’s results of operations. Foreign currency exchange restrictions imposed by the Argentine government could prevent or restrict IRSA CP’s access to U.S. dollars, affecting IRSA CP’s ability to service IRSA CP’s U.S. dollar denominated- liabilities.
 
In addition, contracts for the rental of office buildings are generally stated in U.S. dollars, so a devaluation or depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar would increase the risk of delinquency on IRSA CP’s lease receivables.
 
As discussed above, IRSA CP calculates the fair market value of IRSA CP’s office properties based on comparable sales transactions. Typically, real estate transactions in Argentina are transacted in U.S. dollars. Therefore, a devaluation or depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar would increase the value of IRSA CP’s real estate properties measured in pesos, and an appreciation of the peso would have the opposite effect. In addition, foreign currency exchange restrictions imposed by Argentine government could prevent or restrict the access to U.S. dollars for the acquisition of real estate properties, which are denominated and transacted in U.S. dollars in Argentina, that could affect IRSA CP’s ability to sell or acquire real estate properties and could have an adverse impact in real estate prices.

The current estimated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on IRSA CP as of the date of this prospectus are described below:
 
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, shopping malls in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area suspended their operations between April 16 and June 11, operating only those segments considered essential such as pharmacies, supermarkets, and banks. The impact on revenues for the closing months due to the pandemic was 40.3% in fiscal year 2021.
 
Regarding the office segment, although most of the tenants continue to work in the home office mode, they are operational with strict safety and hygiene protocols. As of today, IRSA CP has experienced a slight increase in the vacancy rate, although IRSA CP has not suffered a deterioration in collections.
 
La Rural, the Buenos Aires and Punta del Este Convention Centers and the Arena stadium, establishments that the Group owns directly or indirectly, were closed from March 20, 2020, to July 12, 2021, date from which the protocols for holding events, congresses and exhibitions were activated.
 
The final extent of the Coronavirus outbreak and its impact on the country's economy is still uncertain. However, although it has produced significant short-term effects, they are not expected to affect business continuity and the company’s ability to meet its financial commitments for the next twelve months.
 
IRSA CP is closely monitoring the situation and taking all necessary measures to preserve human life and IRSA CP’s businesses.
 
Office buildings
 
During the year ended June 30, 2019, IRSA CP’s Office portfolio incorporated the Zetta building, an office building of 32,173 square meters of gross leasable area and 11 floors located in the commercial complex “Polo Dot” in Buenos Aires City. During the year ended June 30, 2020, IRSA CP has incorporated as an investment property the building “200 Della Paolera” located in Catalinas District in Buenos Aires. It consists of 35,208 square meters of gross leasable area over 30 office floors and includes 316 parking spaces in 4 basements. On April 29, 2021, IRSA CP inaugurated its newest office development in Buenos Aires, which was operative since December 2020. IRSA CP owns 80% of the building (28,000 sqm).
 
On July 15, 2020, IRSA CP signed an agreement to sell a mid-rise floor with an area of approximately 1,063 sqm and 5 parking spaces of BankBoston Tower located at 265 Della Paolera in Catalinas district of Buenos Aires City.
 
Likewise, on August 25, 2020, IRSA CP sold and transferred 5 additional floors with a gross rental area of 6,235 sqm and 25 garages located in the building.
 
On July 30, 2020, IRSA CP sold the entire “Bouchard 710” Tower, located in Plaza Roma District of Buenos Aires City. The building has 15,014 sqm of gross leasable area 12 office floors and 116 parking spaces.

Sales and developments
 
On July 11, 2018, IRSA CP acquired the Maltería Hudson plot that has a surface area of 147,895 square meters and approximately 40,000 GLA at the intersection of Route 2 and Buenos Aires - La Plata highway.
 
On December 2019, due to the TGLT recapitalization agreement, IRSA CP signed with TGLT a subscription commitment for Class A preferred shares under Class A Public Offer to make a contribution in kind of shares of the company La Maltería SA, 100% of its ownership.
 
Shopping malls
 
During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, IRSA CP maintained the same portfolio of operating shopping malls. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, the surface area of IRSA CP’s Shopping Malls segment was reduced by 11,875 square meter due to the return of Buenos Aires Design, whose concession terminated in November 2018.
 
Fluctuations in the market value of IRSA CP’s investment properties as a result of revaluations
 
Currently, IRSA CP’s interests in investment properties are revalued quarterly. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of IRSA CP’s investment properties, based on appraisal reports prepared by independent appraisers, is recorded in IRSA CP’s consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income for the fiscal year during which the revaluation occurs. The revaluation of IRSA CP’s properties may therefore result in significant fluctuations in the results of IRSA CP’s operations.
 
Property values are affected by, among other factors, a) shopping malls, which are mainly impacted by the discount rate used (WACC), the projected GDP growth and the projected inflation and devaluation of the Argentine peso for future periods and b) office buildings, which are mostly impacted by the supply and demand of comparable properties and the U.S. dollar / peso exchange rate at the reporting period, as office buildings fair value is generally established in U.S. dollars. For example:
 
during the 2019 fiscal year, there was a 46.8% depreciation of the peso from ARS 28.85 to USD 1.00 as of June 30, 2018 to ARS 42.36 to USD 1.00 as of June 30, 2019;
 
during the 2020 fiscal year, there was a 66.1% depreciation of the peso from ARS 42.363 to USD 1.00 as of June 30, 2019 to ARS 70.36 to USD 1.00 as of June 30, 2020 and
 
during the 2021 fiscal year, there was a 35.9% depreciation of the peso from ARS 70.36 to USD 1.00 as of June 30, 2020 to ARS 95.62 to USD 1.00 as of June 30, 2021.
 
The value of IRSA CP’s investment properties is determined in U.S. dollar pursuant to the methodologies further described in “Critical Accounting Policies and estimates” and then determined in pesos (IRSA CP’s functional and presentation currency).
 
In the past, purchases and sales of office buildings were usually settled in U.S. dollars, however, as a consequence of the restrictions imposed by the Central Bank on foreign exchange transactions, purchases and sales of office buildings are now usually settled in Argentine pesos, using an implicit exchange rate that is higher than the official one (as it was the case in the operations carried out by us in the past few months). Therefore, the company has valued its office buildings and undeveloped parcels of land in Argentine pesos at the end of the year, considering the situation described above, which results in a gain with respect to the values ​​previously recorded.

Business Segment Reporting
 
IRSA CP must disclose segment information in accordance with IFRS 8 which requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resOurces and in assessing performance, without prejudice of the powers and responsibilities of the Board of Directors. The CODM evaluates the business based on the differences in the nature of its products, operations and risks. The amount reported for each segment is the measure reported to the CODM for these purposes and later to the Board of Directors. In turn, IRSA CP’s Board of Directors’ performance is assessed by the shareholders’ meeting.
 
Operating segments identified are disclosed as reportable segments if they meet any of the following quantitative thresholds:
 
The operating segment’s reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and inter-segment sales or transfers, is 10% or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments.
 
The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10% or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of:
 
o
the combined reported profit of all operating segments that do not report a loss; and
 
o
the combined reported loss of all operating segments that report a loss.
 
Its assets are 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.
 
In addition, the operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds could be considered as reportable segments if management estimates that this information could be useful for the users of the consolidated financial statements.
 
If, after determining reportable segments in accordance with the preceding quantitative thresholds, the total external revenue attributable to those segments is less than 75% of IRSA CP’s consolidated external revenue, additional segments are identified as reportable segments, even if they do not meet the thresholds described above, until at least 75% of IRSA CP’s consolidated external revenue is included in reportable segments. Once 75% of IRSA CP’s consolidated external revenue is included in reportable segments, the remaining operating segments are aggregated in “Other segments”.
 
Segment information has been prepared and classified according to different types of businesses in which IRSA CP conducts its activities. IRSA CP’s Investment and Development Properties business is comprised of the following segments:
 
“Shopping Malls” includes the operation and development of shopping malls, through which IRSA CP generates rental income and fees charged for services related to the lease of retail stores and other spaces. IRSA CP’s Shopping Malls segment includes highly diversified, multi format assets with a particular focus on retailers that cater to middle to high income consumers.
 
“Offices” includes the lease of offices and other rental properties and services related to these properties.
 
“Sales and Developments” includes the sales of undeveloped parcels of land and properties, and activities related to the development and maintenance of such properties.
 
“Others” includes the entertainment activity through ALG Golf Center, TGLT S.A., La Rural S.A., We Are Appa S.A. and others.

Shopping malls, offices and other rental properties, and trading properties, are located in Argentina.
 
The CODM evaluates performance of business segments based on segment profit, defined as profit or loss from operations before financing and taxation. The measurement principles for the segment reporting structure are based on the IFRS principles adopted in the consolidated Financial Statements, except for:
 
The operating income from the joint ventures Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A. and Quality Invest S.A. are reported under the proportional consolidation method. Under this method, the income/loss generated by joint ventures is reported in the statements of comprehensive income line-by-line, rather than in a single item as required by IFRS. Management believes that the proportional consolidation method provides more useful information to understand the business return, because the assets and income/loss generated by consolidated operations are similar to the assets and income/loss booked under the equity method. This is due to the fact that under the proportional consolidation method, revenue and expenses are reported separately, instead of offsetting and reporting them as a single item in the statements of income and other comprehensive income. Therefore, the proportional consolidation method is used by the CODM to assess and understand the return and the results of operations of these businesses as a whole. Operating results of La Rural S.A. joint venture is accounted for under the equity method. Management believes that, in this case, this method provides more adequate information for this type of investment.
 
Operating results does not include the amounts pertaining to expenses and collective promotion funds and excludes total recovered costs. The CODM examines the net amount from both concepts (total surplus or deficit between expenses and collective promotion funds and recoverable expenses).
 
Revenue generated and goods and services exchanged among segments are calculated on the basis of market prices. Intercompany transactions among segments, if any, are eliminated.
 
These costs and income are presented now for reconciliation of all segments and their respective consolidating operating income.

In this prospectus we present info about IRSA CP’s Adjustment Segment EBITDA: (i) in presentations to IRSA CP’s Board of Directors to enable it to have the same measurement of financial performance used by management; (ii) in order to determine the performance and cash generation of each business segment; (iii) for planning purposes, including preparation of IRSA CP’s annual operating budget; (iv) as a performance goal in employee annual incentive compensation; and (v) as a valuation measure in strategic analyses in connection with the purchase and sale of assets, as part of the relative valuation methodology that helps to analyze different assets and/or target companies.
 
Also, we present in this prospectus information about IRSA CP’s Segment NOI because: (i) we believe is a relevant metric in the Real Estate Industry, due to its use as a parameter to calculate the capitalization rate of a property, which helps to determine the property’s value and facilitates real estate investors to compare different properties; (ii) to evaluate the performance of the different lines of business and to compare with capitalization rates for shopping malls and offices of the relevant peers in the industry; (iii) we believe it provides investors a supplemental measure of IRSA CP’s financial performance that may facilitate period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis; and (iv) IRSA CP’s management also uses, among other measures, for internal planning and performance measurement purposes.
 
Adjustment Segment EBITDA and Consolidated Segment NOI should not be construed as an alternative to profit from operations, as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities, in each case, as determined in accordance with IFRS. Adjustment Segment EBITDA and Consolidated Segment NOI, as calculated by IRSA CP, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

As explained in Note 6 to IRSA CP Audited Financial Statements, the operating income from IRSA CP’s joint ventures Nuevo Puerto Santa Fé S.A. and Quality Invest S.A. are reported under the proportional consolidation method for segment reporting purposes. Under this method, income/loss generated by joint ventures is reported in the consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income line-by-line, rather than in a single item as required by IFRS.
 
The operating results of IRSA CP’s joint venture La Rural S.A. is accounted under the equity method. IRSA CP’s management believes that, in this case, the equity method provides more adequate information for this type of investment.
 
The following tables present a reconciliation between the total results of operations corresponding to segment information and the results of operations as per IRSA CP’s consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income. The adjustments are related to the presentation of the results of joint ventures on an equity-accounted basis (as discussed above) under IFRS.

(1) IRSA CP’s lease agreements require IRSA CP’s tenants to contribute to a collective promotion fund, administered by IRSA CP, that is used for promotional and marketing activities which are undertaken to draw consumer traffic to IRSA CP’s shopping malls. Tenants’ contributions are generally calculated as a percentage of monthly rent accrued. Revenue so derived is also included under rental income and services segregated from advertising and promotion expenses. Collective promotion charges include common area maintenance expenses for items such as administration, security, operations, maintenance, cleaning and taxes.

Shopping Malls. Revenue from the Shopping Malls segment decreased by 40.3%, from ARS 8,915 million during fiscal year 2020 to ARS 5,321 million during fiscal year 2021. This decrease is mainly attributable to the closing of the Shopping Malls as a consequence of the COVID 19 pandemic, which had an impact in the fiscal year 2021, generating: (i) a decrease of ARS 2,324 million in revenue base rent; (ii) a decrease of ARS 782 million in revenue contingent rent; (iii) a decrease of ARS 567 million in admission rights; (iv) a decrease of ARS 408 million in parking fees; partially offset by, (v) an increase of ARS 496 million in the revenue from averaging of scheduled rent escalation.
 
Offices. Revenue from the Offices segment decreased by 21.9%, from ARS 3,477 million in fiscal year 2020 to ARS 2,715 million during fiscal year 2021, mainly attributable to: (i) a decrease of ARS 752 million in revenue base rent; (ii) a decrease of ARS 42 million in the revenue from averaging of scheduled rent escalation; (iii) a decrease in the total amount of office space available for rent due to the disposal of Bouchard 710 and Bank Boston Tower, during during the fiscal year 2021; partially offset by, (iv) an increase of ARS 40 million in Others.  
 
Sales and Developments. Revenue from the Sales and Developments segment often vary significantly from year to year due to the non-recurrence of different sales transactions carried out by IRSA CP over time. Revenue from the Sales and Developments segment recorded a decrease of ARS 388 million, from ARS 466 million during fiscal year 2020 to ARS 78 million in fiscal year 2021, mainly resulting from the non-recurrence of COTO’s air space barter arrangement signed during 2020.
 
Others. Revenue from the Others segment decreased by 68.8%, from ARS 93 million during fiscal year 2020 to ARS 29 million during fiscal year 2021, mainly resulting from decline in activity of La Arena S.A and La Rural S.A. – OFC S.R.L. – Ogden S.A – Entretenimiento Universal S.A. – Unión transitoria – (as administrator of the Centro de Convenciones y Exposiciones of the City of Buenos Aires) due to the suspension of conferences and events.

Costs related to expenses and collective promotion fund decreased by 35.4% from ARS 4,851 million during fiscal year 2020 to ARS 3,132 million during fiscal year 2021, mainly resulting from a decrease in expenses and collective promotion fund originated by shopping malls, which decreased by 164.6%, from ARS 4,464 million during fiscal year 2020 to ARS 2,884 million during fiscal year 2021. Likewise, expenses originated by the Offices segment, decreased by ARS 139 million, from ARS 387 million during fiscal year 2020 to ARS 248 million during fiscal year 2021.

Net result from fair value adjustments of investment properties for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 was a loss of ARS 13,825 million (a loss of ARS 20,342 million from our Shopping Malls segment; a gain of ARS 4,131 million from the Sales and Developments segment; a gain of ARS 2,355 million from the Offices segment and a gain of ARS 31 from Others segment). The net impact in the peso values of our shopping malls was primarily a consequence of:
 
(i)
an increase in the income tax rate from 25% to 35%, with a consequent decrease in the projected cash flows.
 
(ii)
between June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021, the Argentinian peso depreciated 36% against U.S. dollar (from ARS 70.26 per U.S. dollar to ARS 95.52 per U.S. dollar), which generated a reduction in the projected cash flows as measured in U.S. dollar terms from our Shopping Malls segment.
 
(iii)
an increase of 135 basis points in the discount rate, that is used to discount the projected cash flows from the Shopping Malls segment.
 
The Argentine office market is a liquid market, in which a significant volume of counterparties participates and frequently carries out purchase and sale transactions. This approach provides for observable sales price that are relevant and representative in the market. Furthermore, lease agreements are denominated in dollars for an average term of 3 years, with the current business thus generating a stable cash flow in dollars. In this sense, the “Market approach” technique is used (market comparable values) for the determination of the fair value of these segments, with the value per square meter being the most representative input.
 
Real estate transactions in Argentina have historically been priced in U.S. dollars and transacted in dollars. Nonetheless, in the wake of the high demand for dollars of the retail private sector, on September 1, 2019, the Argentine government, and the Argentine Central Bank implemented new exchange controls and restrictions. In consequence, the most likely scenario is that any office building sale would be settled in pesos or in dual-traded Argentine bonds for the amount resulting from taking the dollar amount the building is priced at and translating it using the BCS rate or a rate that approximates the BCS rate (which is supported by how the market transactions that occurred during the presented periods were settled). Consequently, any sale of office buildings/land reserves will most probably be settled in pesos at an implicit exchange rate higher than the official one, which was reflected in the operations carried out by IRSA CP during the fiscal year. Therefore, IRSA CP has valued its office buildings in pesos at the end of the fiscal year considering the situation described above, but such increase in valuation was partially offset by the inflation adjustment during the fiscal year, as a result IRSA CP recognized a gain of ARS 2,355 million with respect to the values previously recorded.
 
Changes in fair value from IRSA CP’s Shopping Malls segment differ from IRSA CP’s offices segment because the nature of each business is different and prices depend on factors that may not have similarly over time. As mentioned before, the office property market is dominated by investors and owners that seek medium- to long-term leases and perceive real estate as a safe dollar-denominated investment option. In contrast, the shopping mall segment is a relatively new industry in Argentina where the first shopping mall opened in 1990, compared to markets such as the United States and Brazil where the industry began in the 1950’s and 1960’s, respectively. Additionally, unlike the office properties segment, the financial performance of shopping mall properties is highly correlated with the volatile economic activity in Argentina since the cash flow generated by shopping malls are closely related to the purchasing power of customers.

Gross profit from IRSA CP’s joint ventures decreased by 65.0%, from a ARS 60 million (out of which the amount of ARS 91 million (profit) is allocated to the Shopping Malls segment and the amount of ARS 31 million (loss) is allocated to the Offices segment) during fiscal year 2019 to ARS 21 million (out of which the amount of ARS 68 million (profit) is allocated to the Shopping Malls segment whereas the amount of ARS 47 million (loss) is allocated to the Offices segment) during fiscal year 2020.
 
Therefore, based on the information by segments, gross profit (considering the gross profit/(loss) from IRSA CP’s joint ventures and without considering the gross profit/(loss) associated with expenses and the collective promotion fund or gross profit from inter-segment), decreased by 21.7%, from ARS 14,773 million during fiscal year 2019 to ARS 11,573 million during fiscal year 2020. Total gross profit, measured as a percentage of total revenue, decreased from 90.0% during fiscal year 2019 to 89.4% during fiscal year 2020.
 
Shopping Malls. Gross profit from the Shopping Malls segment decreased by 30.9%, from ARS 11,662 million during fiscal year 2019 to ARS 8,064 million for fiscal year 2020, mainly as a result of a decrease in the total sales of IRSA CP’s tenants in real terms, causing a lower percentage rental under our lease agreements. Gross profit from the Shopping Malls segment, measured as a percentage of the segment revenue, decreased from 90.9% during fiscal year 2019 to 90.5% during fiscal year 2020.
 
Offices. Gross profit from the Offices segment increased by 6.7% from ARS 3,064 million during fiscal year 2019 to ARS 3,268 million during fiscal year 2020, as a result of revenue from rentals of the Zetta Building and the devaluation of the Argentine Peso.

Sales and Developments. Gross profit from the Sales and Developments segment recorded an increase of ARS 271 million, from ARS 10 million during fiscal year 2019 to ARS 281 million during fiscal year 2020, mainly due to the barter arrangement of COTO air space.

Net result from fair value adjustments of investment properties for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 was a gain of ARS 38,134 million (a loss of ARS 3,162 million from IRSA CP’s Shopping Malls segment; a gain of ARS 34,354 million from the Offices segment; a gain of ARS 7,148 million from the Sales and Developments segment and ARS 206 from Other segment). The net impact in the peso values of our shopping malls was primarily a consequence of macroeconomic changes and:
 
(i) a negative impact of 11,067 million generated by a decrease in the projected cash flows considering estimated growth rate for the shopping malls DCF, and due to the conversion into U.S. dollars of the projected cash flows considering estimated USD/ARS exchange rates;
 
(ii) an increase of 8 basis points in the discount rate, that is used to discount the projected cash flows from the Shopping Malls segment, mainly due to a significant increase in the country risk premium, as a result there was a decrease of ARS 263.7 million in the fair value of our Shopping Malls, assuming all other factors remain unchanged.
 
(iii) an increase of ARS 27,257 million as a consequence of the conversion of the value of the Shopping Malls in dollar terms into pesos considering the end of fiscal year exchange rate of ARS 70.260 per dollar.
 
 In addition, the value of our shopping malls as of June 30, 2019, has been restated for inflation for comparative purposes as required by IAS 29. The impact of such restatement is ARS 21,701 million.
 
The Argentine office market is a liquid market, in which a significant volume of counterparties participates and frequently carries out purchase and sale transactions. This situation allows to observe relevant and representative purchase-sale prices in the market. Furthermore, lease agreements are denominated in dollars for an average term of 3 years, with the current business thus generating a stable cash flow in dollars. In this sense, the “Market approach” technique is used (market comparable values) for the determination of the fair value of these segments, with the value per square meter being the most representative input.
 
As from September 2019, the real estate market began to experience certain changes in its operation because of the implementation of regulations on the exchange market. As a result, office building sales transactions are mostly settled in pesos (using animplicit exchange rate higher than the official one) or in dual-traded Argentine bonds for the amount resulting from taking the dollar amount the building is priced at and translating it using the BCS rate or a rate that approximates the BCS rate (which is supported by how the market transactions that occurred during the presented periods were settled). Consequently, the most likely scenario is that any sale of office buildings / land reserves will be settled in pesos at an implicit exchange rate higher than the official one, which was reflected in the operations carried out by us before and after the closing of fiscal year 2020. Therefore, IRSA CP has valued our office buildings in pesos at the end of the fiscal year considering the situation described above, which results in a gain of ARS 34,354 million compared to the values previously recorded during fiscal year 2019.
 
Based on the facts and circumstances described above, the value of IRSA CP office and others, increased 60.5% in real terms during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. Moreover, a new building has been added to the office portfolio, the Della Paolera Building.
 
In addition, IRSA CP recognizes from the Sales and Developments segment a profit of ARS 7,148 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 compared with a profit of ARS 3,517 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

 Changes in fair value from IRSA CP Shopping Malls segment differ from IRSA CP offices segment because the nature of each business is different and prices depend on factors that may not have similarly over time. As we mentioned before, the office property market is dominated by investors and owners that seek medium- to long-term leases and perceive real estate as a safe dollar-denominated investment option. In contrast, the shopping mall segment is a relatively new industry in Argentina where the first shopping mall opened in 1990, compared to markets such as the United States and Brazil where the industry began in the 1950’s and 1960’s, respectively. Additionally, unlike the office properties segment, the financial performance of shopping mall properties is highly correlated with the volatile economic activity in Argentina since the cash flow generated by shopping malls are closely related to the purchasing power of customers.

This variation was mainly due to: (i) a profit increase of ARS 1,154 million from IRSA CP’s Offices segment; (ii) a profit increase of ARS 208 million from IRSA CP’s Shopping Malls segment; and (iii) a profit decrease of ARS 227 million from IRSA CP’s Others segment.
 
Shopping Malls. The share of profit/ (loss) of associates and joint ventures of the Shopping Malls segment decreased by ARS 208 million, from a loss of ARS 222 million during fiscal year 2019 to a loss of ARS 14 million during fiscal year 2020, as a result of IRSA CP’s investment in Nuevo Puerto Santa Fé S.A. mainly because of the impact on result from fair value of investment properties.

Others. The share of profit/(loss) of associates and joint ventures of the Others segment decreased by ARS 226 million, from a profit of ARS 231 million during fiscal year 2019 to ARS 5 million during fiscal year 2020, mainly due to IRSA CP’s investment in TGLT S.A.
 
 
204
 
 
Financial results, net
 
Financial results, net, decreased by 301.5%, from a loss of ARS 2,779 million during fiscal year 2019 to a loss of ARS 11,159 million during fiscal year 2020.
 
This variation Financial results, net is mainly attributable to: (i) the variation of Foreign exchange, net, from a profit of ARS 127 million during fiscal year 2019 to a net loss of ARS 7,011 million during fiscal year 2020, because the devaluation was lower than inflation in fiscal year 2019 (47.7% vs 55.7%, respectively), whereas devaluation was higher than inflation in fiscal year 2020 (65.9% vs 42.8% respectively); (ii) a decrease in the gain on assets valued at fair value of ARS 1,368 million, from ARS 1,554 during fiscal year 2019 to ARS 186 million during fiscal year 2020; (iii) a variation of ARS 1,102 million in the (loss)/ profit from derivative financial instruments, from a profit of ARS 836 million during fiscal year 2019 to a loss of ARS 266 million during fiscal year 2020, partially offset by: (iv) a decrease in net interest expense, that went from ARS 4,366 million during fiscal year 2019 to ARS 3,759 million during fiscal year 2020; (v) a variation of ARS 574 in profit/(loss) in inflation adjustments, that went from a loss of ARS 689 million during fiscal year 2019 to a profit of ARS 115 million during fiscal year 2020.
 
Income tax expense
 
Income tax charge decreased by 187.6%, from a profit of ARS 9,219 million in fiscal year 2019 to a loss of ARS 8,072 million in fiscal year 2020.
 
IRSA CP applies the deferred tax method to calculate the income tax, thus recognizing temporary differences between the book value, the valuation of assets and liabilities for tax purposes and the application of tax loss carry-forwards. Therefore, the amount recorded for income tax not only corresponds to the amount payable, but it also reflects the recognition of the tax on the tax base for accrual accounting.
 
Additionally, the special tax for tax revaluation applicable to certain of IRSA CP’s companies that have opted for revaluation of property, plant and equipment for income tax has been added to this line, not being charged for this item in fiscal year 2020. The amount of this tax is ARS 594 million (loss).
 
Total profit for the year
 
As a result of the factors described above, profit/(loss) for fiscal year 2020 increased by 170.0%, from a loss of ARS 38,935 million during fiscal year 2019 to a profit of ARS 27,266 million during fiscal year 2020. Profit/(loss) attributable to shareholders of the controlling company increased by 166.3%, from a loss of ARS 38,711 million during fiscal year 2019 to a profit of ARS 25,668 million during fiscal year 2020. Profit attributable to non-controlling interest increased by 813.4%, from a loss of ARS 224 million during fiscal year 2019 to a profit of ARS 1,598 during fiscal year 2020.
 
B. Liquidity and capital resources
 
IRSA CP’s principal sources of liquidity have historically been:
 
cash generated from operations;
 
cash generated from the issuance of capital stock and notes; and
 
cash from borrowings (including bank overdrafts) and financing arrangements.
 
 
205
 
 
IRSA CP’s principal cash requirements or uses (other than in connection with our operating activities) have historically been:
 
acquisition of investment properties;
 
development of new shopping malls;
 
improvement of existing investment properties;
 
development of properties for sale;
 
working capital needs;
 
maintenance of cash and other liquid assets to enable IRSA CP to take advantage of the acquisition and development of investment opportunities as they arise;
 
interest payments; and
 
investments in financial assets.
 
IRSA CP believes its working capital and cash from operating activities are adequate for IRSA CP’s present and future requirements. In the event that cash generated from IRSA CP’s operations is at any time insufficient to finance IRSA CP’s working capital, IRSA CP would seek to finance such working capital needs through debt or equity financing or through the sale of properties available for sale.
 
IRSA CP material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations mainly consist of obligations under IRSA CP’s borrowings. As of June 30, 2021, IRSA CP expected to incur a total of ARS 42,922 million under IRSA CP’s borrowings, consisting of ARS 7,719 million due within one year, ARS 35,050 million due within one to three years and ARS 153 million due within four to five years.

On March 23, 2016, IRSA CP issued new notes in an aggregate principal amount of USD 360 million under its Global Note Program.

Their issue price was 98.722% of the principal amount. On September 15, 2020, Communication “A” 7,106, amended by Communication “A” 7272, established that companies must refinance maturities of financial debt capital in the period from October 15, 2020 to December 31, 2021. In this sense, the Central Bank will give access to companies for less than 40% of maturities and companies must refinance the rest within at least two years. For more information see “Item 10.

If the term established by Communication “A” 7,106 and “A” 7,272 is extended after December 31, 2021, the maturity of this Note would be affected by such measure.

As reported in the IMF’s “World Economic Outlook,” world GDP is expected to grow 6.0% in 2021 and 4.9% in 2022. As with the July 2021 WEO projections, there is a higher-than-usual degree of uncertainty around this forecast. The baseline projection rests on key assumptions about vaccine access, which has emerged as the principal fault line. The global recovery splits into two blocks: those countries that can look forward to further normalization of activity later this year (almost all advanced economies) and those that will still face resurgent infections and rising COVID death tolls. The recovery, however, will not be assured even in countries where infections are currently very low so long as the virus circulates elsewhere. Moreover, the forecast assumes that financial conditions—which have eased following the release of the July 2021 WEO — will remain broadly at current levels. Nevertheless, the forecast assumed that fiscal policy in the United States will be increased in line with the overall cumulative size of the current administration’s proposed. Commodity prices are expected to increase at a significantly faster pace than assumed in the April 2021 WEO. Alternative outcomes to those in the baseline are clearly possible, and not just because of how the pandemic is evolving.
 
Despite near-term supply disruptions, global trade volumes are projected to expand 9.7% in 2021, moderating to 7.0% in 2022. The merchandise trade recovery is set to broaden after being initially concentrated in pandemic-related purchases, consumer durables, and medical equipment. Services trade is expected to recover more slowly, consistent with subdued cross-border travel until virus transmission declines to low levels everywhere.
 
In most countries inflation should subside to its pre-pandemic ranges in 2022 once the transitory disturbances work their way through prices. This judgment rests on three pillars: even with diminished participation rates, labor market slack remains substantial (albeit with reported shortages and hiring difficulties in sectors such as hospitality and travel); inflation expectations are well anchored; and structural factors that have lowered the sensitivity of prices to changes in slack are still expected to operate as before (some have possibly intensified—for example, automation). However, inflation is expected to remain elevated into 2022 in some emerging markets and developing economies, related in part to continued food price pressures and lagged pass-through from higher oil prices for importers.
 
On the upside, better global cooperation on vaccines could help prevent renewed waves of infection and the emergence of new variants, end the health crisis sooner than assumed, and allow for faster normalization of activity, particularly among emerging markets and developing economies. Moreover, a sooner-than-anticipated end to the health crisis could lead to a faster than-expected release of excess savings by households, higher confidence, and more front-loaded investment spending by firms.
 
On the downside, growth would be weaker than projected if logistical hurdles in procuring and distributing vaccines in emerging markets and developing economies lead to an even slower pace of vaccination than assumed. Such delays would allow new variants to spread, with possibly higher risks of breakthrough infections among vaccinated populations. Moreover, households’ excess savings may be released more gradually if they remain worried about employment prospects and income security, weighing on aggregate spending.
 
Strong multilateral cooperation remains essential on multiple fronts. Liquidity assistance is urgently needed for countries confronting health crises and external funding shortfalls, including through debt relief and financing through the global financial safety net. The highest priority is to ensure fast, worldwide access to vaccines and substantially hasten the timeline of rollout relative to the assumed baseline pace. The global community needs to vastly step up efforts to vaccinate adequate numbers of people and ensure global herd immunity.

Furthermore, building on the record drop in greenhouse gas emissions during the pandemic, policymakers should both implement their climate change mitigation commitments and slow the rise in global temperatures to avoid catastrophic health and economic outcomes.
 
Argentine macroeconomic context
 
At the end of 2019, the economy faced a severe balance of payments crisis and public debt. Faced with this scenario, the National Government adopted a set of measures designed to face the most immediate manifestations of the crisis and to stabilize the macroeconomy. Regarding monetary policy, the Central Bank of Argentina defined a series of guidelines, highlighting the referring to interest rates and exchange rate management. Foreign exchange regulations and the moderation in prices linked to the limited volatility of the exchange rate allowed the LELIQ to remain at 38% nominal annually. The progress made the financial system better prepared to face the emergency caused by COVID-19.
 
Shopping malls sales reached a total ARS 15,805.8 million in June 2021, which represents a 448.8% increase as compared to fiscal 2020. Accumulated sales for the first six months ARS 84,937.6, represent a 112.0% increase and 96.2% decrease in current terms as compared to the same period of 2020 and 2019 respectively.
 
The INDEC reported that, for the eight months ended July 31, 2021, industrial activity in Argentina increased by 21.0% compared to the same period in 2020. The textile industry accumulated a 51.5% growth during the first eight months of 2021 as compared to the same period last year. Moreover, the monthly estimation of economic activity (“EMAE”) as of June 30, 2021, increased by 10.8% compared to the same month in 2020.
 
Regarding the balance of payments, in the second quarter of 2021 the current account surplus reached USD 2,763 million, with USD 4,485 million allocated to the goods and services trade balance, and USD 2,200 million to the net primary deficit, and a surplus of USD 479 million to net secondary income.
 
During the second quarter of 2021, the financial account showed net outflow of USD 2,554 million, explained by the net acquisition of financial assets for USD 3,444 million, and net issuance of liabilities of USD 891 million. The sectors that have explained these outflows have been Central Bank for USD 2,403 million and Government for USD 789 million. Partially offset by the net income of the Deposit-taking companies and Other sectors for USD 364 million and USD 274 million respectively. The international reserves increased by USD 2,403 million during the second quarter of 2021.
 
In local financial markets, the Private Badlar rate in Pesos ranged from 29.75% to 34.13% in the period from July 2020 to June 2021, averaging 32.56% in June 2021 compared to 40.31% in June 2020.

Likewise, in the national and international framework described above, IRSA CP periodically analyzes alternatives to appreciate its shares value. In that sense, IRSA CP’s Board of Directors will continue focusing on the evaluation of financial, economic and / or corporate tools that allow IRSA CP to improve its position in the market in which it operates and have the necessary liquidity to meet its obligations. Within the framework of this analysis, the indicated tools may be linked to corporate reorganization processes (merger, spin-off or a combination of both), disposal of assets in public and / or private form that may include real estate as well as negotiable securities owned by IRSA CP, incorporation of shareholders through capital increases through the public offering of shares to attract new capital, repurchase of shares and instruments similar to those described that are useful to the proposed objectives.
 
Evolution of Shopping Malls in Argentina
 
In August 2021, the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI) showed a 5.0% increase compared to July 2021, and a 3.8% decrease compared to August 2020. Shopping mall sales increased Evolution of Shopping Malls in Argentina.
 
 Evolution of Office Properties in Argentina
 
The corporate activity carried out remotely or virtual work that characterized this stage of confinement by COVID19 brought with it a combination of lower demand, increased vacancies, and a slight decrease in the rental prices of category A + and A office buildings in Buenos Aires.
 
According to the real estate broker L.J. Ramos, the market has managed to close a positive net absorption of 1,100 sqm, after a year in negative values, showing for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, a cut in the negative trend in market indicators. The average vacancy rate of the Buenos Aires Class A market was 15.7%, 6 pp. above the observed in 2020 and the rental values decreased slightly, averaging USD 24.5/sqm.
 
E. Critical Accounting Estimates
 
Critical accounting policies and estimates
 
IRSA CP Audited Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. Note 2 to IRSA CP Audited Financial Statements describes the most significant accounting policies, applied in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
In applying these policies, IRSA CP is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
 
Property appraisals require a significant level of estimation uncertainty and appraisal of IRSA CP’s investment properties is a central component of IRSA CP’s business. IRSA CP validated its valuation methodology and outcome with a third party valuation report detailed by asset from the local affiliate of Newmark, a well-known worldwide real estate advisory firm. Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of IRSA CP’s property portfolio is also disclosed in Note 2 to IRSA CP Audited Financial Statements.
 
 
213
 
 
Our investment properties comprise shopping malls, office buildings, other rental properties and land reserves. The main measurement differences resulting from the application of the fair value model to our investment properties as compared to the cost model were as follows:
 
● 
The reversal of depreciation expense of investment properties previously recorded in our financial statements under the cost model;
 
● 
Recognition of net gain / (loss) from fair value adjustments of investments properties;
 
● 
The reversal of gain from disposal of investment properties;
 
● 
Increase in the depreciation expense of property, plant and equipment due to the transfers from investment properties to property, plant and equipment at a re-valued amount;
 
● 
Changes in the share of profit and loss of associates and joint ventures resulting from application of the same accounting policy as that issued by IRSA CP;
 
● 
Impact in deferred income tax;
 
● 
The impact of fair value measurement of our investment properties on the transition date to IFRS was recognized in a special reserve not subject to dividend distribution.
 
● 
Subsequent changes as a net gain from fair value adjustments of investment properties in the consolidated statement of income and other comprehensive income and accumulated retain earnings.
 
The valuation of IRSA CP’s portfolio of investment properties was made by independent qualified appraisers with relevant professional qualifications and experience in the segments of the investment properties appraised. IRSA CP’s finance department includes a team that reviews the appraisals received from the independent appraisers for financial reporting purposes that IRSA CP refers to as the “review team.” At each fiscal year end, the review team: (i) verifies all assumptions relevant to the appraisal and the valuation report; (ii) assesses changes in the property valuations compared to valuations from prior periods; (iii) confers with the independent appraisers to verify the underlying bases on which the appraisals were undertaken; and (iv) provides the external appraiser with and validates that the external appraiser utilized all data inputs relevant to the valuation model such as lease contracts, amendments, etc. IRSA CP’s Board of Directors ultimately approves the fair value calculations for recording into the financial statements.
 
IRSA CP’s investment properties are appraised using either level 2 or level 3 appraisal methodologies, as defined in IFRS 13, in the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers between levels during the fiscal year presented in this prospectus. A level 1 appraisal method is based on quoted market value for the specified property; level 2 valuations include multiple inputs including directly attributable to the subject property or indirectly included from similar properties; and level 3 valuations rely on unobservable inputs including future projected cash flows, location of the property being appraised, and other factors.
 
IRSA CP uses different appraisal methods depending on the type of property being appraised.
 
 
214
 
 
For the Shopping Malls there is no liquid market for the sale of properties with these characteristics that can be taken as a reference of value. Likewise, the Shopping Malls, being a business denominated in pesos, are highly related to the evolution of macroeconomic variables in Argentina, the purchasing power of individuals, the economic cycle of GDP growth, the fluctuations of inflation, among others. Consequently, the methodology adopted by IRSA CP for the valuation of Shopping Malls is the discounted cash flow model (“DCF”), which allows the volatility of the Argentine economy to be taken into account and its correlation with the revenue streams of the Malls and the inherent risk of the Argentine macroeconomy. IRSA CP determines expected cash flows relating to each shopping mall property and adjusts these cash flows using the appropriate discount rate. IRSA CP projects each property's cash flows in pesos, which is IRSA CP's functional currency, and these cash flows include the effects of macroeconomic variables of Argentina. It is important to point out that due to the current structure of IRSA CP's lease contracts, generally shopping mall leases include provisions that provide for payment of variable rent based on sales of IRSA CP's shopping mall tenants. Therefore, the projected cash flows for these properties generally are highly correlated with GDP growth. Due to the instability of the Argentine economy, there is no available long-term peso-denominated interest rate to discount the projected inflation-adjusted cash flows of IRSA CP's shopping mall properties. Accordingly, for these purposes, IRSA CP translates projected peso-denominated cash flows into U.S. dollars using a projected U.S. dollar-peso exchange rate for the period involved. Once the U.S. dollar-equivalent projected cash flows are determined, they are then discounted at a U.S. dollar denominated long-term interest rate, which is intended to reflect IRSA CP's cost of capital. The present value so determined in U.S. dollars is then recorded in pesos in IRSA CP's financial statements using the prevailing exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The DCF methodology contemplates the use of certain unobservable valuation assumptions, which are determined reliably based on the information and internal sources available at the date of each measurement. These assumptions mainly include the following:
 
● Cash flows from future projected revenue are based on the current locations, type and quality of the properties, and supported by the lease agreements that IRSA CP has signed with its tenants. Because IRSA CP's revenue are from the higher value between a Minimum Fixed Value (“VMA”) and a percentage of the tenant's sales in each Shopping Mall, management estimated the evolution of Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) and the inflation of the Argentine economy using information provided by an external consultant to predict the evolution of tenant sales, which have a high correlation with these two macroeconomic variables. These macroeconomic projections were contrasted with the projections prepared by the IMF, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) and with the Survey of Macroeconomic Expectations (“REM”), which consists of a Survey prepared by the Central Bank of Argentina aimed to local and foreign specialized analysts in order to allow a systematic follow-up of the main short- and medium-term macroeconomic forecasts on the evolution of the Argentine economy.
 
● The income from all Shopping Malls was high correlated with the evolution of the GDP and the projected inflation. The specific characteristics and risks of each Shopping Mall are collected through the use of the historical average EBITDA Margin of each of them.
 
● Cash flows from future investments, expansions, or improvements in Shopping Mall were not contemplated.
 
● Terminal value: a perpetuity calculated from the cash flow of the last year of useful life was considered.
 
● The cash flow for concessions was projected until the termination date of the concession stipulated in the current contract.
 
● Given the prevailing inflationary context and the volatility of certain macroeconomic variables, a reference long term interest rate in pesos is not available to discount the projected cash flows from shopping malls. Consequently, the projected cash flows were dollarized through the future peso / USD exchange rate curve provided by an external consultant, which are contrasted to assess their reasonableness with those of the IMF, OECD, REM and the On-shore Exchange Rate Futures Market (ROFEX). Finally, dollarized cash flows were discounted with a long-term dollar rate, the weighted average capital cost rate (“WACC”), for each valuation date.
 
● The estimation of the WACC discount rate was determined according to the following components:
 
 
215
 
 
a) U.S. Treasury risk-free rate;
 
 
b) Industry beta, considering comparable companies from the US, Brazil, Chile and Mexico, in order to contemplate the Market Risk on the risk-free rate;
 
 
c) Argentine country risk considering the EMBI + Index; and
 
 
d) Cost of debt and capital structure, considering that information available from the Argentine corporate market (“blue chips”) was determined as a reference, since sovereign bonds have a history of defaults. Consequently, and because IRSA CP, based on its representativeness and market share represents the most important entity in the sector, IRSA CP has taken its indicators to determine the discount rate.
 
For offices, other rental properties and land reserves, the valuation was determined using transactions in U.S. dollars of comparable market assets, since the market for offices and land reserves in Argentina is liquid and has market transactions that can be taken as a reference. These values adjust to the differences in key attributes such as location, property size and quality of interior fittings. The most significant input to this comparable market approach is the price per square meter that derives from the supply and demand in force in the market at each valuation date.
 
In certain situations it is complex to determine reliably the fair value of the developing properties. In order to assess whether the fair value of a developing property can be determined reliably, management considers the following factors, among others:
 
● The provisions of the construction contract.
 
● The stage of completion.
 
● Whether the project / property is standard (typical for the market) or non-standard.
 
● The level of reliability of cash inflows after completion.
 
● The specific development risk of the property.
 
● Previous experience with similar constructions.
 
● Status of construction permits.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk
 
In the normal course of business, IRSA CP is exposed to foreign exchange risk, interest rate risks and other price risk, primarily related to changes in exchange rates and interest rates.

Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements with IRSA CP
 
IRSA has been involved in a number of transactions with IRSA CP during the periods for which financial statements are presented.
 
Our policy is to make transactions with related parties on arm’s-length basis. In addition, Section 72 of Law No. 26,831 provides that before such company whose stock is publicly-listed may enter into an act or contract involving a “relevant amount” with a related party or parties, the publicly-listed company must obtain approval from its Board of Directors and obtain a valuation report from its Audit Committee or two independent valuation firms that states that the terms of the transaction are consistent with those that could be obtained at an arm’s-length basis. If the Audit Committee or two independent valuation firms do not find that the terms of the contract are consistent with those that could be obtained on an arm’s-length basis, approval must be obtained from the shareholders. “Relevant amount” means an amount which exceeds 1% of the issuers’ equity as contained in the latest approved financial statements.
 
 
218
 
 
Related Party Transactions
 
A related party transaction is any transaction entered into directly or indirectly by us or any of our subsidiaries that is material based on the value of the transaction to: (a) us or any director, officer or member of our management or shareholders; (b) any entity in which any person described in clause (a) is interested; or (c) any person who is connected or related to any person described in clause (a).
 
Offices and shopping mall spaces leases
 
IRSA and Cresud rent office space for their executive offices located at the Della Paolera 200 Tower at Della Paolera 261, floor 9th, City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. They also rent space that we own at the Abasto Shopping Mall.
 
The offices of Eduardo S. Elsztain, the Chairman of our Board of Directors and our controlling shareholder, are located at Bolivar 108, City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This property has been rented to a company controlled by family members of Mr. Elsztain and to a company controlled by Fernando A. Elsztain, one of our directors and the cousin of Mr. Eduardo S. Elsztain, and members of his family.
 
In addition, BACS Banco de Crédito y Securitización S.A. (“BACS”), BHN Sociedad de Inversión S.A., BHN Seguros Generales S.A. and BHN Vida S.A. rent offices owned by us in different buildings.
 
Furthermore, we also lease various stores, stands, storage space or advertising spaces in our shopping malls to third parties and related parties such as Banco Hipotecario S.A.
 
Lease agreements entered into with affiliates have included similar provisions and amounts to those included in agreements with unaffiliated third parties.
 
Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services with Cresud and IRSA CP
 
Considering that each of Cresud, IRSA CP and us have corporate operations that overlap to a certain extent, our Board of Directors deemed it advisable to implement alternatives designed to reduce certain fixed costs of our combined activities and to mitigate their impact on our operating results while seizing and optimizing the individual efficiencies of each of them in the different areas comprising the management of corporate corporations.
 
To such end, on June 30, 2004, we, Cresud and IRSA CP entered into a Master Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services, or the “Framework Agreement,” which has been amended several times in line with evolving operating requirements. The Framework Agreement had an initial term of additional 24 months and is renewable automatically for additional 24-month term, unless terminated by any of the parties upon prior notice.
 
Annually, a review of the criteria used in the determination of pricing for corporate services, as well as the bases of cost distribution and supporting documentation used in the aforementioned process. The risk management and audit area coordinate the review, which, in turn, periodically delegated the review to an external consultant. The operations described above allow Cresud, IRSA and us to keep our strategic and commercial decisions fully independent and confidential, with cost and profit apportionment allocated on the basis of operating efficiency and equity, without any one company benefiting at the expense of the others.
 
Hospitality Services
 
We and our related parties hire, on certain occasions, hotel services and lease conference rooms for events to Nuevas Fronteras S.A., Hoteles Argentinos S.A. and Llao Llao Resorts S.A., subsidiaries of IRSA, all on arm’s-length terms and conditions.
 
 
219
 
 
Financial and Service Operations
 
We work with several financial entities in Argentina for operations including, but not limited to, credit, investment, purchase and sale of securities and financial derivatives. Such entities include Banco Hipotecario S.A. and its subsidiaries. Furthermore, Banco Hipotecario and BACS usually act as underwriters in capital market transactions we undertake. In addition, we invest from time to time our cash fund in mutual funds managed by BACS Administradora de Activos S.A. S.G.F.C.I., which is a subsidiary of Banco Hipotecario S.A., among other entities.
 
Donations to Fundación IRSA and Fundación Museo de los Niños
 
Fundación IRSA is a non-profit charity that seeks to support and generate initiatives concerning education, the promotion of corporate social responsibility and the entrepreneurial spirit of young adults.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES AGAINST NON-U.S. PERSONS
 
IRSA is incorporated under the laws of Argentina. Substantially all of IRSA’s and IRSA’s subsidiaries’ assets are located outside the United States. All of IRSA’s directors and all IRSA’s officers and certain advisors named in this prospectus reside in Argentina. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons or to enforce against them or IRSA in United States courts judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.
 
Argentine counsel, Zang, Bergel & Viñes Abogados, has advised IRSA that it may be difficult for an investor to bring in an Argentine court an original action predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities laws against us, IRSA’s directors or IRSA’s officers. There is doubt as to whether Argentine courts would permit such actions or enforce any civil liabilities thereon.
 
If enforcement of a judgment issued by a U.S. court is sought before federal courts or courts with jurisdiction in commercial matters of the City of Buenos Aires, such judgment will be subject to the requirements set out in Articles 517 through 519 of the Argentine Federal Civil and Commercial Procedure Code. Such requirements are as follows: (1) the judgment, which must be valid and final in the jurisdiction where rendered, was issued by a competent court in accordance with the Argentine principles regarding international jurisdiction and resulted from a personal action, or an in rem action with respect to personal property which was transferred to Argentine territory during or after the prosecution of the foreign action, (2) the defendant against whom enforcement of the judgment is sought was personally served with the summons and, in accordance with due process of law, was given an opportunity to defend against foreign action, (3) the judgment does not violate the principles of public policy of Argentine law, and (4) the judgment is not contrary to a prior or simultaneous judgment of an Argentine court. Any document in a language other than Spanish (including, without limitation, the foreign judgment and other documents related thereto) requires filing with the relevant court of a duly legalized translation by a sworn public translator into the Spanish language.
 
The filing of claims with the Argentine judicial system is subject to the payment of a court tax to be paid by the person filing a claim. Such tax rate varies from one jurisdiction to another (the current court tax in the courts sitting in the City of Buenos Aires is levied at a rate of 3% of the amount claimed, in conformity with Article 2 of Argentine Law No. 23,898). Furthermore, pursuant to Argentine Law No. 26,589 (as amended), certain mediation procedures must be exhausted prior to the initiation of lawsuits in Argentina (with the exception, among others, of bankruptcy and executory proceedings, which executory proceedings include the enforcement of foreign judgments, in which case mediation procedures remain optional for the plaintiff).
 
Subject to compliance with Article 517 of the Argentine Federal Civil and Commercial Procedure Code described above, a judgment against IRSA or the persons described above and obtained outside Argentina would be enforceable in Argentina without reconsideration of the merits.
 
IRSA has been further advised by Argentine counsel that the ability of a judgment creditor or the other persons named above to satisfy a judgment by attaching certain assets of IRSA’s, IRSA’s directors, IRSA’s executive officers and/or the advisors named in this prospectus, respectively, may be limited by provisions in Argentine law.
 
Notwithstanding the above, it must be noted that Section 2,610 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code, prescribes that any Argentine citizen and/or permanent resident shall have free access to Argentine jurisdiction pursuant to the defense of its rights and interests, under the same conditions as citizens and permanent residents currently reside in Argentina. Pursuant to this, no surety or deposit, whatever its denomination, may be imposed by reason of the quality of citizen or permanent resident in another country. Equal treatment shall be applied to legal persons constituted, authorized or registered according to the laws of a foreign country.

LEGAL MATTERS
 
Certain matter of New York law will be passed upon for IRSA by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP. Zang, Bergl & Viñes Abogados, IRSA’s Argentine legal counsel, will provide an opinion regarding the validity of the IRSA Shares under Argentine law.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
The purpose of this Agreement is to streamline the technical, administrative, operational, and economic resources of both Companies and generate effective synergy through a merger. As this merger process has the particular characteristic that both companies are subject to the public offering regulations, it shall be governed not only by the current provisions of the Business Companies Law (BCL) but also by the corporate reorganization procedures governed by the regulations of the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) and the markets, both domestic and foreign, where their shares are listed. Part of the analysis performed to date by the management of both Companies makes it possible to establish that the feasibility of the merger shall contribute to the improvement of the operational, administrative, accounting, legal, and business processes and, by merging the assets of both Companies, to an efficiency in the profitability of the business. As a consequence, this merger shall give rise to qualitative and quantitative advantages, increased competitiveness, business streamlining, and a significant reduction in administration and transaction costs.
 
WHEREAS:
 
1. The corporate purpose of IRSA is to carry out the following activities either directly and/or through its subsidiaries: (i) the acquisition, development and exploitation of shopping malls; (ii) the acquisition and development of office buildings and other properties, primarily for rental purposes; (iii) the development and sale of residential properties; (iv) the acquisition and exploitation of luxury hotels; (v) the acquisition of undeveloped land reserves for their future development or sale; and (vi) making of investments abroad.
2. The corporate purpose of IRSAPC is to carry out the following activities either directly and/or through its subsidiaries: (i) the acquisition, development and exploitation of shopping malls; (ii) the acquisition and development of office buildings and other properties, primarily for rental purposes; and (iii) the acquisition of undeveloped land reserves for their future development or sale and (iv) making of investments abroad.
3. As stated in paragraphs 1. and 2. above, both Companies carry out related and supplementary activities.
4. IRSA is the direct and indirect owner of 79.92% of the shares issued by IRSAPC.
5. The reorganization process subject-matter of this Agreement has been anticipated as one of the alternatives for the simplification of the administrative structure in the last annual reports of both Companies.
6. The reorganization process shall imply important benefits and synergies for both Companies, as it will allow greater efficiency of resources in their management, including, without limitation: (a) to operate and keep only one transactional information system and centralize the entire accounting process; (b) to submit only one set of financial statements to the various control authorities with the ensuing savings in accounting and advisory fees, and other related expenses; (c) to simplify the accounting reporting and consolidation process, as a consequence of the relief that the merger would entail for the corporate structure as a whole; (d) to cause IRSAPC to be delisted from BYMA and NASDAQ, with the ensuing related costs; (e) to reduce costs for legal fees and tax submissions; (f) to increase the percentage of capital stock listed in the different markets by increasing the liquidity of listed shares; and (g) to prevent the potential overlap of businesses between the Companies in advance.
7. All of the above makes it possible to significantly improve the competitiveness of IRSA, especially taking into account the current pandemic context existing in Argentina and the world.
8. The Parties consider that such reorganization may be achieved by carrying out a merger process pursuant to the provisions of the BCL, section 80 et seq. of the Income Tax Law No. 20,628, as amended and regulated, Chapter X , Title II of the CNV Regulations, as approved by General Resolution 622/2013 issued by the CNV, the IGJ regulations and other applicable statutory and regulatory provisions, both in Argentina and in the United States according to the applicable jurisdiction and under the conditions established below.
9. The Companies have been admitted to the Argentine and US public offering system and are subject to annual and quarterly reporting obligations, with the obligation to give urgent and immediate notice of the occurrence of any relevant events that may affect the listing of their securities, all in accordance with the CNV and SEC regulations. Therefore, as both Parties have information publicly available about each other, the documentation for the Merger can be prepared and drafted in the same terms of transparency as those existing for the investors in the companies involved; and
10. After having analyzed the terms under which such merger shall be carried out, the Companies wish to proceed with the relevant corporate and regulatory process.

For these purposes, IRSA entrusted Banco Santander Rio S.A. and IRSAPC entrusted Banco Itaú Argentina S.A., both top-tier international financial institutions with proven experience in merger transactions (the “Independent Appraisers”), with the issuance of the respective Fairness Opinion on the Exchange Ratio to be submitted to the consideration of the Boards of Directors of each of the Parties.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

IRSA Inversionesy Representaciones Sociedad Anónima
 
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of IRSA Inversionesy Representaciones Sociedad Anónima and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2021, including the related notes and the summary of investment properties by type as of June 30, 2021 listed in the index appearing under Item 19 (99.1)  (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).  We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2021 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO. 
 
Basis for Opinions
 
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. 
 
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.  Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
 
 
B-2
 
 
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Critical Audit Matter
 
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosuresthat are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
 
Level 3 Investment Properties Valued Using Discounted Cash Flows
 
As described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company used a discounted cash flow model to value its Level 3 investment properties, which account for approximately 28% of the Company’s AR$ 183,152 million in investment properties at June 30, 2021. These properties are valued using assumptions that management believes a hypothetical market participant would use to determine a current transaction price. The significant assumptions used by management to value these investment properties included determining appropriate discount rates and projecting macroeconomic variables such as inflation, exchange rates and gross domestic product. These valuation techniques require management to make estimates and judgments regarding the future behavior of multiple interrelated variables and changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the determination of the fair value of these properties.
 
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the Level 3 investment properties valued using a discounted cash flows method is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management to determine the fair value of these properties due to the use of a valuation model that included significant assumptions related to the determination of discount rates and projecting macroeconomic variables such as inflation, exchange rates and gross domestic product; this in turn led to a high degree of auditor subjectivity and judgment to evaluate the audit evidence obtained related to the valuation, and this audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
 
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the valuation of Level 3 investment properties valued using a discounted cash flows method, including controls over the Company’s methods, significant assumptions used and data. These procedures also included, among others, the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in developing an independent range of values for all significant assumptions and comparison of management’s estimate to the independently developed ranges. Developing the independent estimate involved testing the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management and evaluating management’s assumptions related to future behavior of certain macroeconomic variables, such as inflation, exchange rates and gross domestic product, and independently developing the discount rate assumption.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(All amounts in millions of Argentine Pesos, except per share information and otherwise indicated)
 
1. Group’s business and general information
 
IRSA PROPIEDADES COMERCIALES S.A. (“IRSA Propiedades Comerciales” or the “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) is an Argentine real estate company mainly engaged in holding, leasing, managing, developing, operating and acquiring shopping malls and office buildings and holds a predominant position within the Argentine market. IRSA Propiedades Comerciales was incorporated in 1889 under the name Sociedad Anónima Mercado de Abasto Proveedores (“SAMAP”) and until 1984 operated the main fresh product market in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. SAMAP’s core asset was the historical building of Mercado de Abasto, which served as site of the market from 1889 until 1984, when a sizable part of its operations was interrupted.
 
Since the Company was acquired by IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anónima (hereinafter, “IRSA”) in 1994, it has grown through a series of acquisitions and development projects that resulted in a corporate reorganization pursuant to which the company was renamed Alto Palermo S.A. which was subsequently changed to our current denomination.
 
As of June 30, 2021, the fiscal year end of these Consolidated Financial Statements (hereinafter, the “Financial Statements”), the Group (i) operates 334,826 square meters (sqm) in 14 shopping malls, 113,291 sqm in 7 premium offices buildings and an extensive land reserve for future commercial developments; and (ii) operates and holds a majority interest (with the exception of La Ribera Shopping center, of which it has a 50% of ownership interest) in a portfolio of 14 shopping malls throughout Argentina, six of which are located in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (Abasto Shopping, Alcorta Shopping, Alto Palermo, Patio Bullrich, Dot Baires Shopping and Distrito Arcos), two in Buenos Aires province (Alto Avellaneda and Soleil Premium Outlet) and the remainder in different provinces (Alto Noa in the City of Salta, Alto Rosario in the City of Rosario, Mendoza Plaza in the City of Mendoza, Córdoba Shopping Villa Cabrera in the City of Córdoba, Alto Comahue in the City of Neuquén and La Ribera Shopping in the City of Santa Fe). The Company also owns the historic building where the Patio Olmos Shopping Mall is located, which is operated by a third party.
 
The Group’s shares are traded on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (BYMA: IRCP) and in United States of America on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: IRCP).
 
Our principal and controlling shareholder and parent company is IRSA and Consultores Assets Management S.A. is our ultimate parent company.
 
These Consolidated Financial Statements were approved for the publication by the Board of Directors on October 18, 2021.
 
2. Summary of significant accounting policies
 
2.1 Basis of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
(a) Basis of preparation
 
These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). All IFRS applicable as of the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements have been applied.
 
IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the Financial Statements of an entity whose functional currency is one of a hyperinflationary economy be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method. To do so, in general terms, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be calculated in the non-monetary items. This requirement also includes the comparative information of the Financial Statements.
 
In order to conclude whether economy is categorized as hyperinflationary the provisions of IAS 29, details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of a cumulative inflation rate in the three years preceding the measurement that approximates or exceeds 100%. It is for this reason that, in accordance with IAS 29, Argentina must be considered a country with highly inflationary economy starting July 1, 2018.

 
 
B-10
 
   
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
In addition, Law No. 27,468 (published in the Official Gazette on December 4, 2018), amended Section 10 of Law No. 23,928, as amended, and established that the derogation of all the laws or regulations imposing or authorizing price indexation, monetary restatement, cost variation or any other method for strengthening debts, taxes, prices or rates of goods, works or services, does not extend to Financial Statements, as to which the provisions of Section 62 in fine of the General Companies Law No. 19,550 (1984 revision), as amended, shall con    tinue to apply. Moreover, the referred law repealed Decree No. 1269/2002 dated July 16, 2002, as amended, and delegated to the Argentine Executive Branch the power to establish, through its controlling agencies, the effective date of the referred provisions in connection with the Financial Statements filed with it. Therefore, under General Resolution 777/2018 (published in the Official Gazette on December 28, 2018) the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) ordered that issuers subject to its supervision shall apply the inflation adjustment to reflect the Financial Statements in terms of the current measuring unit set forth in IAS 29 in their annual, interim and special Financial Statements closed on or after December 31, 2018.
 
Pursuant to IAS 29, the Financial Statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a high inflationary economy should be reported in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the Financial Statements. All the amounts included in the Statements of Financial Position which are not stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the Financial Statements should be restated applying the general price index. All items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income should be stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the Financial Statements, applying the changes in the general price index occurred from the date on which the revenues and expenses were originally recognized in the Financial Statements.
 
Adjustment for inflation in the initial balances has been calculated considering the indexes reported by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (FACPCE) based on the price indexes published by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC).
 
The principal inflation adjustment procedures are the following:
 
-
Monetary assets and liabilities that are recorded in the current currency as of the balance sheet closing date are not restated because they are already stated in terms of the currency unit current as of the date of the Financial Statements.
-
Non-monetary assets and liabilities are recorded at cost as of the balance sheet date, and equity components are restated applying the relevant adjustment ratios.
-
All items in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income are restated applying the relevant conversion factors.
-
The effect of inflation on the Group’s net monetary position is included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and other comprehensive income under Financial results, net, in the item “Inflation adjustment”.
-
Comparative figures have been adjusted for inflation following the procedure explained in the previous paragraphs.
 
Upon initially applying inflation adjustment, the equity accounts were restated as follows:
 
-
Capital was restated as from the date of subscription or the date of the most recent inflation adjustment for accounting purposes, whichever is later. The resulting amount was included in the “Capital adjustment” account.
-
Other comprehensive income / (loss) was restated as from each accounting allocation.
-
The other reserves in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income were restated as of the initial application date, i.e., June 30, 2016.
 
The inflation index to be used according to Resolution No. 539/18, is determined based on the Wholesale Price Index (IPIM) until 2016, considering for the months of November and December 2015 the average variation of Consumer Price indexes (CPI) of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, because during those two months there were no national IPIM measurements. Since January 2017, the National Consumer Price Index (National CPI) will be considered. The tables below show the evolution of these indices in the last two fiscal years and as of June 30, 2021 according to official statistics (INDEC) following the guidelines described in Resolution 539/18

As a consequence of the aforementioned, these Financial Statements as of June 30, 2021 were restated in accordance with IAS 29.
 
(b) Current and non-current classification
 
The presentation in the statements of financial position distinguishes between current and non-current assets and liabilities, according to the operating cycle of each of the activities. Current assets and liabilities include assets and liabilities that are realized or settled within 12 months after the year-end date.
 
All other assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. Current (income tax payable) and deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented separately from each other and from other assets and liabilities, as current and non-current, respectively.
 
(c) Presentation currency
 
The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in millions of Argentine Pesos. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, references to “Peso amounts” or “ARS”, are to Argentine Pesos, and references to “USD” or “US dollars” are to United States dollars.
 
(d) End of the fiscal year
 
The fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30 each year.
 
(e) Accounting conventions
 
See Note 2.2 to 2.31 the accounting policies applicable to each item.
 
(f) Cash flows
 
The Group reports cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. Interest paid is presented within cash used in financing activities. Interest received is presented within cash generated by investing activities, with the exception of the interest generated by operating credits, included in “other operating results, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income. The acquisitions and disposals of investment properties are disclosed as cash from investing activities because this most appropriately reflects the Group’s business activities. Cash flows in respect of trading properties are disclosed as cash from operating activities because these assets are sold in the ordinary course of business.
 
(g) Use of estimates
 
The preparation of Financial Statements at a certain date requires the Company’s Management to make estimations and evaluations affecting the amount of assets and liabilities recorded and contingent assets and liabilities disclosed at such date, as well as income and expenses recorded during the year. Actual results might differ from the estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of consolidated Financial Statements. The most significant judgments made by Management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the major estimates and significant judgments are described in Note 3.
 
2.2. New accounting standards
 
The following standards, amendments and interpretations have been published by the IASB and by the IFRIC. Below we outline the standards, amendments and interpretations that may potentially have an impact on the Group at the time of application.

Covid-19-related Rent Concessions -
Amendments to IFRS 16.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, rent concessions have been granted to lessees. Such concessions might take a variety of forms, including payment holidays and deferral of lease payments. In May 2020, the IASB made an amendment to IFRS 16 Leases which provides lessees with an option to treat qualifying rent concessions in the same way as they would if they were not lease modifications. In many cases, this will result in accounting for the concessions as variable lease payments in the period in which they are granted.
Entities applying the practical expedients must disclose this fact, whether the expedient has been applied to all qualifying rent concessions or, if not, information about the nature of the contracts to which it has been applied, as well as the amount recognized in profit or loss arising from the rent concessions.

Accounting Policy Disclosures - Amendment
to IAS 1 and Practical Statement 2
 
The IASB amended IAS 1 to require entities to disclose their material accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. The amendments define what it implies and how to identify material accounting policy information. They also clarify that it is not necessary to disclose immaterial accounting policy. If it is disclosed should not overshadow material accounting information. To support this amendment, the IASB also amended IFRS Practical Statement 2 on “Making materiality related judgments” to advise on how to apply the concept of materiality to disclosure of accounting policies.
 
01-01-2023
 
Definition of accounting estimates -
Amendments to IAS 8.
 
The amendment to IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” clarifies how entities should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. The distinction is important, because changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively to future transactions and other future events, but changes in accounting policies are generally applied retrospectively to past transactions and other past events, as well as to the current exercise.
 
01-01-2023
 
Amendment to IAS 1.
The narrow-scope amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Classification is unaffected by the expectations of the entity or events after the reporting date (eg the receipt of a waver or a breach of covenant). The amendments also clarify what IAS 1 means when it refers to the ‘settlement’ of a liability.
The amendments could affect the classification of liabilities, particularly for entities that previously considered management’s intentions to determine classification and for some liabilities that can be converted into equity.
They must be applied retrospectively in accordance with the normal requirements in IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.
In May 2020, the IASB issued an Exposure Draft proposing to defer the effective date of the amendments to January 1, 2023.
 
06-30-2023
 
Amendment to IAS 37.
The amendment to IAS 37 clarifies that the direct costs of fulfilling a contract include both the incremental costs of fulfilling the contract and an allocation of other costs directly related to fulfilling contracts. Before recognizing a separate provision for an onerous contract, the entity recognizes any impairment loss that has occurred on assets used in fulfilling the contract.

The amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E) prohibits an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of PP&E any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use. It also clarifies that an entity is ‘testing whether the asset is functioning properly’ when it assesses the technical and physical performance of the asset. The financial performance of the asset is not relevant to this assessment.

Reference to the Conceptual Framework -
Amendments to IFRS 3.
Minor amendments were made to IFRS 3 Business Combinations to update the references to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting and add an exception for the recognition of liabilities and contingent liabilities within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and Interpretation 21 Levies. The amendments also confirm that contingent assets should not be recognized at the acquisition date.

 Annual improvements to IFRS 2018-2020
standards.
The following improvements were finalized in May 2020:
● IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - clarifies which fees should be included in the 10% test for derecognition of financial liabilities.
● IFRS 16 Leases - amendment of illustrative example 13 to remove the illustration of payments from the lessor relating to leasehold improvements, to remove any confusion about the treatment of lease incentives.
● IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards - allows entities that have measured their assets and liabilities at carrying amounts recorded in their parent’s books to also measure any cumulative translation differences using the amounts reported by the parent. This amendment will also apply to associates and joint ventures that have taken the same IFRS 1 exemption.
● IAS 41 Agriculture - removal of the requirement for entities to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value under IAS 41. This amendment is intended to align with the requirement in the standard to discount cash flows on a post-tax basis.

Deferred tax - Amendments to IAS 12.
The IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 that clarifies how companies account for deferred tax related to assets and liabilities that arise from a single transaction. The effects of these amendments essentially mean that the initial recognition exception is not available for transactions that involve the recognition of both an asset and a liability, such as leases and decommissioning obligations.

Management is studying the impact that these new regulations and modifications will have for the Group.
 
At the date of issuance of these consolidated Financial Statements, there are no other standards or modifications issued by the IASB that are not yet effective and are expected to have a significant effect on the Group.
 
2.3. Scope of consolidation
 
(a) Subsidiaries
 
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its investment in the entity and has the ability to effect such returns through its power over the entity. The Group also analyzes whether there is control when it does not hold more than 50% of the voting rights of an entity but does have capacity to define its relevant activities because of de-facto control.
 
There may be de-facto control where the relative size of voting rights held by the Group in an entity in relation to the size and dilution of other shareholders gives the Group power to define the relevant activities of such entity.
 
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
 
The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
 
IFRS 3 “Business Combination” allows up to 12 months to finalize the accounting for a business combination. Where the accounting for a business combination is not complete by the end of the reporting period in which the business combination occurred, the Group reports provisional amounts.
 
The Group has elected to recognize acquisition of assets or group of assets carried out between entities under common control that also qualify as “Business Combination” according to IFRS 3, using the acquisition method.
 
The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s net assets. The Group chooses the method to be used on case-by-case basis.
 

 
 
B-14
 
   
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
The amount by which the aggregate of the fair value of consideration transferred, the acquisition date fair value of the Group’s previously held interest and any non-controlling interest exceeds the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income as “Bargain purchase gains”.
 
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between or among group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The majority of subsidiaries have the same year-end as the Group, however, a small number of subsidiaries have non-coterminous year-ends. In these circumstances, special-purpose Financial Statements prepared as of June 30 of each year are used for purposes of the Group consolidation.
 
The Group conducts its business through several operating and holding subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the subsidiaries listed in Note 7 have share capital consisting solely of ordinary shares, which are held directly by the Group and the proportion of ownership interests held is equal to the voting rights held by the Group. The country of incorporation or registration is also their place of business.
 
The Group takes into account both quantitative and qualitative aspects in order to determine which non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are considered significant. In quantitative terms, the Group considers significant those investments that individually represent at least 20% of the total equity attributable to non-controlling interest in subsidiaries at each year-end. Therefore, in qualitative terms, the Group considers, among other factors, the specific risks to which each company is exposed, their returns and the importance that each of them has for the Group.
 
Summarized financial information on subsidiaries with material non-controlling interests and other information are included in Note 7.
 
(b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
 
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, that is to say as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The amount recorded is the difference between the fair value of any consideration paid and/or collected and the relevant share acquired and/or transferred of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary.
 
(c) Disposal of subsidiaries with loss of control
 
When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
 
(d) Associates
 
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and less than 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor’s share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition.
 
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
 

 
 
B-15
 
   
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
The Group’s share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income, and its share of post-acquisition movements is recognized in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
 
The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of any impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and it is carrying value and recognizes the impairment loss within “Share of profit of associates and joint ventures line item” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.
 
Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its associate are recognized in the Group’s Financial Statements only to the extent of any unrelated investor’s interests in the associates. Unrealized losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
 
For purposes of including the earnings of associates by applying the equity method, the Group uses Financial Statements of the associates as of the same date or a later date, provided the difference between the reporting date of the associate and that of the Group is no longer than three months. In these cases, the Group assesses and adjusts the results of such associates for material transactions or other material events occurred during the interim period.
 
The Group takes into account both quantitative and qualitative aspects in order to determine which non-controlling interests in associates are considered significant. In quantitative terms, investments that individually represent at least 20% of equity in earnings of joint ventures in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income and, simultaneously, at least 20% of all investments in joint ventures total equity attributable to non-controlling interest in associates at each year-end are considered significant. Therefore, in qualitative terms, the Group considers, among other factors, the specific risks to which each company is exposed, their returns and the importance that each company has for the Group.
 
Summarized financial information and other information for associates is included in Note 8.
 
(e) Joint arrangements
 
Joint arrangements are arrangements of which the Group and other party or parties have joint control bound by a contractual arrangement. Under IFRS 11, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint ventures or joint operations depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures.
 
Investments in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, pursuant to which interests in joint ventures are initially recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the post-acquisition of profits or losses and movements in Other Comprehensive Income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income, respectively.
 
When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the joint ventures), the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.
 
The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in a joint venture is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the joint venture and its carrying value and recognizes the amount adjacent to share of profit of associates and joint ventures in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.

 
 
B-16
 
    
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint ventures. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
 
The Group takes into account both quantitative and qualitative aspects in order to determine which non-controlling interests in joint ventures are considered significant. In quantitative terms, the investments that individually represent at least 20% of equity in earnings of joint ventures in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income and, simultaneously, at least 20% the total equity attributable to non-controlling interest in joint ventures at each year-end are considered significant. Therefore, in qualitative terms the Group considers, among other factors, the specific risks to which each company is exposed to, their returns and the importance that each company has for the Group.
 
Summarized financial information and other information for significant joint ventures is included in Note 8.
 
2.4. Segment reporting
 
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) the Group’s Executive Committee. This CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. The operating segments are described in Note 6.
 
2.5. Foreign currency translation
 
(a) Functional and presentation currency
 
Items included in the Financial Statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). These Financial Statements are presented in Argentine Pesos, which is the Group’s presentation currency.
 
(b) Transactions and balances in foreign currency
 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Argentine Pesos using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the profit or loss for the year.
 
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income within finance income and finance costs, as appropriate, unless they are capitalized as explained in Note 2.19.
 
2.6. Investment properties
 
Investment properties are those properties owned by the Group that are held either to earn long-term rental income or for capital appreciation and that are not occupied by the Group for its own operations. Properties occupied by associates or joint ventures are accounted for as investment properties in these Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Investment properties also include properties that are being constructed or developed for future use as investment property. The Group also classifies land whose future use has not been determined yet as investment property.
 
Additionally, the Group recognizes economically “buildable potentials” in those properties that meet the following requirements: a) have buildable potential that are legally viable based on the application of approved Planning Codes and / or specific Ordinances. and b) have a commercial viability either due to their realization market or their constructive feasibility (see Note 9). If due to regulatory or legal regulations and commercial and/or economic aspects, the buildable potential can only be made by the Group and it has not been built yet, the asset value is not recognized.
 
When a property is partially owner-occupied, with the rest being held for rental income or capital appreciation, the Group accounts for the portions separately. The portion that is owner-occupied is accounted for as property, plant and equipment under IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” and the portion that is held for rental income or capital appreciation, or both, is treated as investment property under IAS 40 “Investment Property”.

The Group’s investment properties primarily comprise the Group’s portfolio of shopping malls and offices, certain property under development and other undeveloped land.
 
Investment properties are measured initially at cost. Cost comprises the purchase price and directly attributable expenditures, such as legal fees, certain direct taxes, commissions and in the case of properties under construction, the capitalization of financial costs.
 
For properties under development, capitalization of costs includes not only financial costs, but also all costs directly attributable to works in process, from commencement of construction until it is completed and property is in conditions to start operating. Capitalized costs include mainly the part attributable to third-party service costs, as well as the materials necessary for construction. Capitalization of such costs ceases when the property reaches the operating conditions indicated above.
 
Direct expenses related to lease contract negotiation (as well as payment to third parties for services rendered and certain specific taxes related to execution of such contracts) are capitalized as part of the book value of the relevant investment properties and amortized over the term of the lease.
 
Borrowing costs associated with properties under development or undergoing major refurbishment are capitalized. The finance cost capitalized is calculated using the Group’s weighted average cost of borrowings after adjusting for borrowings associated with specific developments. Where borrowings are associated with specific developments, the amount capitalized is the gross interest incurred on those borrowings less any investment income arising on their temporary investment. Finance cost is capitalized from the commencement of the development work until the date of practical completion. The capitalization of finance costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted. Finance cost is also capitalized on the purchase cost of land or property acquired specifically for redevelopment in the short term but only when activities necessary to prepare the asset for redevelopment are in progress.
 
After initial recognition, investment properties are carried at fair value. Investment properties that are being redeveloped for continuing use as investment properties or for which the market has become less active, continues to be measured at fair value. Investment properties under construction are measured at fair value if the fair value is considered to be reliably determinable. Investment properties under construction for which the fair value cannot be determined reliably, but for which the Group expects that the fair value of the property will be reliably determinable when construction is completed, are measured at cost less impairment until the fair value becomes reliably determinable or construction is completed, whichever is earlier.
 
Fair values are determined differently depending on the type of property being measured.
 
Generally, fair value of office buildings and land reserves is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for differences in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset (Level 2).
 
The fair value of the Group’s portfolio of Shopping Malls is based on discounted cash flow projections. This method of valuation is commonly used in the shopping mall industry in the region where the Group conducts its operations (Level 3).
 
As required by Resolution 576/10 of the CNV, valuations are performed as of the financial position date by accredited professional appraisers who have recognized and relevant professional qualifications and have recent experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued. These valuations form the basis for the carrying amounts in the consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of investment property reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and other assumptions market participants would make when pricing the property under current market conditions.
 
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized to the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized.

Changes in fair values are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income under the line item “Net gain / (loss) from fair value adjustments of investment properties”.
 
Asset transfers, whether they are assets classified as investment properties that are transferred to other items or vice versa, can only be made when there is a change in their use, which is evidenced by: a) if an investment property it becomes occupied by the Group, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment at the beginning of said occupation; b) when an investment property changes its use, and this is evidenced by a development process to prepare it for sale, the property is transferred to properties for sale; c) if the Group’s occupation of a property ends, it is reclassified from property, plant and equipment to properties for sale; or d) the commencement of operating lease operations with a third party, whereby the properties for sale are transferred to investment properties. The transfer of investment properties to other items is carried out at the fair value of the asset on the date of change of use and said fair value is the cost of the property for the purposes of subsequent accounting according to the applicable standard. If an owner-occupied property is converted to investment property, the Group values the property at the corresponding carrying amount prior to transfer and classifies it as investment property at fair value on the date of change of use. The Group will treat any difference, as of that date, between the determined carrying amount of the property and the fair value, in the same way in which it would record a revaluation applying IAS 16. A transfer from inventories to Investment properties, will be accounted by recognizing the result between its previous book value and its fair value and any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount will be recognized in the result of the period.
 
The Group may sell an investment property when it considers it is not core to its ongoing rental business activities. Where the Group disposes of a property at fair value in an arm’s length transaction, the carrying value immediately prior to the sale is adjusted to the transaction price, and the adjustment is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income in the line “Net (loss) / gain from fair value adjustments of investment properties”.
 
Investment properties are derecognized when they are disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected to arise from their disposal. The disposal of properties is recognized when the significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer. As for unconditional agreements, proceeds are recognized when legal title to property passes to the buyer and the buyer intends to make the respective payment therefor. In the case of conditional agreements, the disposal is accounted for where such conditions have been met. Where consideration receivable for the sale of the properties is deferred, it is discounted to present value.
 
The difference between the discounted amount and the amount receivable is treated as interest income and recognized over the period using the effective interest method. Direct expenses related to the sale are recognized in the line “other operating results, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income at the time they are incurred.
 
2.7. Property, plant and equipment
 
This category primarily comprises buildings or portions of a building used for administrative purposes, machines, computers and other equipment, motor vehicles, furniture, fixtures and fittings and improvements to the Group’s corporate offices.
 
All property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) is stated at historical cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. For properties under development, capitalization of costs includes not only financial costs, but also all costs directly attributable to works in process, from commencement of construction until it is completed and property is in condition to start operating. Capitalized costs include mainly the part attributable to third-party service costs, as well as the materials necessary for construction. Capitalization of such costs ceases when the property reaches the operating conditions indicated above.
 
Borrowing costs are directly incurred for the purpose of acquiring, constructing or producing a qualifying PPE are capitalized as part of its cost. A qualifying PPE is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. Borrowing costs are capitalized during the period of construction or production of the eligible asset; such capitalization ceases once the necessary activities for the asset to have the intended use have been completed, or else capitalization is suspended while construction activity is suspended.
 

 
 
B-19
 
   
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
  
  
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Such costs may include the cost of improvements and replacement of parts as they meet the conditions to be capitalized the carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Depreciation, based on a component approach, is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost over the assets’ estimated useful lives.
 
As of June 30, 2021 useful lives are as follows:
 
Other buildings and facilities
Between 1 and 22 years
Furniture and fixtures
Between 3 and 10 years
Machinery and equipment
Between 1 and 10 years
Vehicles
5 years
Other
3 years
 
As of each period-end, an evaluation is performed to determine the existence of indicators of any decrease in recoverable value or useful life of assets. If there are any indicators, the recoverable amount and/or residual useful life of impaired asset(s) is estimated, and an impairment adjustment is made, if applicable. As of each year-end, the residual useful life of assets is estimated and adjusted, if necessary.
 
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (see Note 2.10.).
 
Gains from the sale of these assets are recognized when control has been transferred to the buyer. This will normally take place on unconditional exchange, generally when legal title passes to the buyer and it is probable that the buyer will pay. For conditional exchanges, sales are recognized when these conditions are satisfied.
 
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds, net of direct expenses related to those proceeds, with carrying amount at the date of each transaction. Gains and losses from the disposal of property, plant and equipment items are recognized within “Other operating results, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.
 
2.8. Leases
 
The Group’s leases are recognized and valued in accordance with IFRS 16, the Group recognizes the asset for the right of use and a liability at present value with respect to those contracts that meet the definition of a lease in accordance with the standard.
 
A Group company is the lessor: Operating lease - properties leased to tenants under operating leases are included in “Investment properties” in the Statements of Financial Position (see Note 2.25 for the recognition of rental income).
 
A Group company is the lessee: The Group acquires certain specific assets (essentially machinery and computer equipment and real estate exploitation concessions) under the form of leases in accordance with IFRS 16. Assets acquired under this modality are disclosed as an asset at present value of future minimum payments of the lease. Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over their estimated useful life or over the term of the lease, whichever is earlier. The total financial cost will be distributed among the periods that constitute the term of the lease, so that a constant interest rate is obtained in each period, on the balance of the debt pending amortization.
 
Leases within the exception of IFRS 16, in which the Group acts as lessee, are charged to loss at the time they are accrued. They mainly include contracts with maturities of less than one year and / or non-material value.

2.9. Intangible assets
 
(a) Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from assets that are not capable of being individually identified and separately recognized by the Group on an acquisition. Goodwill is initially measured as the difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquisition and, in business combinations achieved in stages, the acquisition-date fair value of the previously held equity interest in the acquisition; and the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date.
 
At acquisition goodwill is allocated to those cash generating units expected to benefit from the acquisition for the purpose of impairment (see Note 2.10.). Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is included within “Intangible assets” in the statements of financial position.
 
Goodwill may also arise upon investments in associates and joint ventures, calculated as the surplus of the cost of investment over the Group’s share of the fair value of the net identifiable assets. Such goodwill is recorded within investments in associates or joint ventures.
 
Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment at each fiscal year end, or more frequently if there is an indication of impairment.
 
(b) Software
 
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalized based on of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives between 3 and 5 years.
 
Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognized as intangible assets when the following criteria are met: (i) it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use; (ii) management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it; (iii) there is an ability to use or sell the software product; (iv) it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits; (v) adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available; and (vi) the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured.
 
Directly attributable costs that are capitalized as part of the software product include the software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.
 
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognized as an expense are not recognized as an asset in a subsequent period.
 
Computer software development costs recognized as assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which does not exceed 5 years.
 
(c) Right to receive units (barters)
 
The Group also enters into barter transactions where the Group normally exchanges undeveloped parcels of land with third-party developers for future property to be constructed on the bartered land. The Group generally receives monetary assets as part of the transactions and/or a right to receive future units to be constructed by developers. Such rights are initially recognized at cost (which is the fair value of the land assigned) and such rights are not adjusted later, unless there is any sign of impairment.
 

 
 
B-21

2.10. Impairment of assets
 
(a) Goodwill
 
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows, referred to as cash-generating units. In order to determine whether any impairment loss should be recognized, the book value of cash-generating units or cash generating unit groups is compared against its recoverable value. Net book value of cash-generating units and cash generating unit groups include goodwill and assets with limited useful life (such as, investment properties, property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and working capital).
 
If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income and are not reversed in a subsequent period.
 
The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is the higher of fair value less costs-to-sell and value-in-use. The fair value is the amount at which a cash-generating unit may be sold in a current transaction between unrelated, willing and duly informed parties. Value-in-use is the present value of all estimated future cash flows expected to be derived from cash-generating units or cash-generating unit groups.
 
(b) Property, plant and equipment and defined-lived intangible assets
 
At the date of each statements of financial position, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, and limited-duration intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss.
 
When the asset does not generate cash flows independently of other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
 
If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.
 
Assets or cash-generating units that have suffered an impairment loss are revised as of each year-end date to assess a potential reversal of such impairment. The impairment loss recognized in prior fiscal years may only be reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to assess the recoverable value of assets or the cash-generating unit since the recognition of the impairment loss.
 
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, not to exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.
 
2.11. Trading properties
 
Trading properties comprise those properties either intended for sale or in the process of construction for sale. Trading properties are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Where there is a change in use of investment properties evidenced by the commencement of development with a view to sale, the properties are reclassified as trading properties at cost, which is the carrying value at the date of change in use. They are subsequently carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
 
Cost comprises all direct costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the trading properties to their present location and condition.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of a property in the ordinary course of business less costs to complete and selling expenses. If the net realizable value is lower than the carrying amount, a write-down is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its net realizable value. Write-downs are reversed when circumstances that caused the write-down cease to exist, or when net realizable value increases.
 
2.12. Inventories
 
Inventories mainly include materials, supplies or other assets required to offer different services.
 
Supplies and other materials and assets classified in this category are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of supplies, materials and other assets is determined using the weighted average cost method.
 
2.13. Financial instruments
 
The Group classifies financial assets in the following categories: those to be measured at fair value and those to be measured at amortized cost. This classification depends on whether the financial asset is a debt or equity instrument.
 
Debt instruments
 
A debt instrument is classified at amortized cost only if both of the following criteria are met: (i) the objective of the Group’s business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows; and (ii) the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash derived solely from payments of principal and interest due on the principal outstanding. The nature of any derivatives embedded in the debt instrument are considered in determining whether the cash flows of the instrument are derived solely from payment of principal and interest due on the principal outstanding and are not accounted for separately.
 
If either of the two criteria above is not met, the debt instrument is classified at “fair value through profit or loss”. The Group has not designated any debt instruments as measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch. Changes in fair values and gains from disposal of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recorded within “Financial results, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.
 
Equity instruments
 
All equity instruments, which are neither subsidiaries, associate companies nor joint ventures of the Group, are measured at fair value. Equity instruments that are held for trading are measured at fair value through profit or loss. For all other equity instruments, the Group can make an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize changes in fair value through other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss. The Group decided to recognize changes in fair value of equity instruments through changes in profit or loss.
 
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.
 
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
 
In general, the Group uses the transaction price to ascertain the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition. In the other cases, the Group records a gain or loss on initial recognition only if the fair value of the financial instrument can be supported by other comparable transactions observable in the market for the same type of instrument or if based on a technical valuation that only inputs observable market data. Unrecognized gains or losses on initial recognition of a financial asset are recognized later on, only to the extent they arise from a change in factors (including time) that market participants would consider upon setting the price.
 
Gains/losses on debt instruments measured at amortized cost and not identified for hedging purposes are charged to income where the financial assets are derecognized or an impairment loss is recognized, and during the amortization process under the effective interest method. The Group is required to reclassify all affected debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets measured at amortized cost is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) can be reliably estimated. The amount of the impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
 
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statements of Financial Position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
 
2.14. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
 
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
 
The Group manages exposures to various risks using hedging instruments that provide the appropriate economic outcome. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. To date, the Group has used future and forward contracts, as appropriate.
 
The Group’s policy is to apply hedge accounting to hedging relationships where it is permissible under IFRS 9, practical to do so and its application reduces volatility, but transactions that may be effective hedges in economic terms may not always qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9. To date the Group has not applied hedge accounting to any of its derivative financial instruments. Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or liability in the statements of financial position. Gains and losses on other derivatives are classified in “Financial results, net”, in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.
 
The fair values of financial instruments that are traded in active markets are computed by reference to market prices. The fair value of derivative financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period.
 
2.15. Trade and other receivables
 
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
 
An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded when there is objective evidence that the Group may not be able to collect all receivables within their original payment term. Indicators of doubtful accounts include significant financial distress of the debtor, the debtor potentially filing a petition for reorganization or bankruptcy, or any event of default or past due account. It is calculated by the expected loss method.
 
For significant non-homogeneous receivables, the Group generally measures impairment based on an individual analysis. When they are evaluated individually, the Group recognizes the provision for impairment as the difference between the book value of the receivable and the present value of future cash flows, taking into account the existing guarantees, if applicable. This allowance for doubtful accounts considers the financial situation of the debtor, their resources, the payment history and, if applicable, the value of the guarantees provided.
 
For non-significant homogeneous receivables, the Group assesses the impairment by grouping these receivables based on characteristics of similar risks, considering the type of asset, the delinquency condition and other relevant factors. The Group considers different factors to calculate the amount of the allowance for impairment, which, in its opinion, represents the expected losses over the life of the receivables. When determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Group considers, among other factors: (i) the delinquency of the receivables, (ii) the history of losses and the general behavior of the clients, (iii) the trends in volumes and terms of the receivables, (iv) the Group’s experience in credit management, (v) national and local economic trends, (vi) credit concentrations by individual size and type of credit, and (vii) the effect of other external factors.
 

 
 
B-24
 
   
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
The amount of the allowance is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance, and the amount of the loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income within “Selling expenses”. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against “Selling expenses” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.
 
2.16. Trade and other payables
 
Trade payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
 
2.17. Tenant deposits
 
The Group generally obtains deposits from tenants as a guarantee for returning the property at the end of the lease term in a specified good condition or for the lease payments for a period of generally 3 years. The deposits are generally equivalent to one month of lease rentals. Such deposits are treated as both a financial asset and a financial liability in accordance with IFRS 9, and they are initially recognized at fair value. The difference between fair value and cash received is considered to be part of the minimum lease payments received for the operating lease (refer to Note 2.25. for the recognition of rental income). The deposits are subsequently measured at amortized cost.
 
2.18. Borrowings
 
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized as finance cost over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
 
2.19. Borrowing costs
 
General and specific borrowing costs (interest and foreign exchange differences) directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially completed.
 
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
 
The Group capitalizes borrowing costs on qualifying investment properties, property, plant and equipment and trading properties.
 
2.20. Provisions
 
Provisions are recognized when: (i) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
 
The amount of its accruals is based on up-to-date developments, estimates of the outcomes of the matters and legal counsel’s experience in contesting, litigating and settling matters. As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined or more information is available, the Group may be required to change its estimates of future costs, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition or liquidity.
 
Provisions are measured at the present value of the cash flows expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in provisions due to passage of time is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.

IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
2.21. Employee benefits
 
(a) Pension plans obligations
 
The Group operates a defined contribution plan. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income when they are due.
 
(b) Termination benefits
 
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy.
 
(c) Bonus plans
 
The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Group’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
 
2.22. Shared based payments
 
The Group operates an incentive plan, under which certain selected employees, directors and top management of IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A., IRSA and Cresud have a right to matching shares of IRSA and Cresud, although they must hold their purchased shares and remain with the employer entity for a specified period of time.
 
The fair value of the equity settled awards is measured at the date of grant. Management measures the fair value using the valuation technique that it considers to be the most appropriate to value each class of award. Methods used may include Black-Scholes calculations or other models as appropriate. The valuations consider factors such as non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations.
 
The fair value of the share-based payment is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income under the straight-line method over the vesting period in which the right to receive shares of IRSA and Cresud becomes irrevocable (“vesting period”); such value is based on the best available estimate of the number of shares expected to vest.
 
Such estimate is revised if subsequent information becomes available indicating that the number of shares expected to vest differs from original estimates.
 
2.23. Current income tax, deferred income tax and minimum presumed income tax
 
Tax expense for the year comprises the charge for tax currently payable and deferred taxation. Tax is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
 
Current income tax expense is calculated based on the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the Statements of Financial Position in the countries where the Group and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. The Group establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
 

 
 
B-26
 
    
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the date of the Statements of Financial Position and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
 
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
 
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except for deferred income tax liabilities where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
 
Entities in Argentina are subject to the Minimum Presumed Income Tax (“MPIT”). Pursuant to this tax regime, an entity is required to pay the greater of the income tax or the MPIT. The MPIT provision is calculated on an individual entity basis at the statutory asset tax rate of 1% and is based upon the taxable assets of each company as of the end of the year, as defined by Argentine law. Any excess of the MPIT over the income tax may be carried forward and recognized as a tax credit against future income taxes payable over a 10-year period. When the Group assesses that it is probable that it will use the MPIT payment against future taxable income tax charges within the applicable 10-year period, the Group recognizes the MPIT as a current or non-current receivable, as applicable, within “Trade and other receivables” in the statements of financial position.
 
Minimum presumed income tax was repealed by the Law No. 27,260 in section 76 for the annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019.
 
In this respect, considering recent Instruction No. 2 issued by the Federal Administration of Public Revenue (AFIP), if the Group posts financial and tax losses, no provision for income tax would be recorded.
 
2.24. Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and that they are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Cash equivalents do not include bank overdrafts.
 
2.25. Revenue recognition
 
Revenue from Group’s activities is principally derived from business activities carried out in shopping malls and in rental buildings and mainly include rental income from shopping mall properties and offices leased under operating leases, admission rights, commissions and revenue from several services provided to the Group’s lessees.
 
In accordance with IFRS 15, the Group recognizes income over time on sales contracts with clients for real estate development in which there is no alternative use to the sale to that client and has the right to demand the collection of the contract. When these conditions are not met, revenue is recognized at the time of delivery or deed, depending on each case, when the risk transfers are completed, the collection is reasonably assured and there is a price already determined.
 
Income from satisfaction of performance obligations over time on real estate developments is recognized by measuring progress towards compliance with the obligation when it can be reliably measured. For this measurement, the Group uses the resource method, that is, the effort consumed by the entity and determines the percentage of progress based on the estimated cost of the total development.
 
The Group’s income is recognized at the highly probable value of the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring products or services to the client that is not expected to undergo significant reversals.

Shopping malls portfolio
 
Primarily comprises rental income from shopping mall property leases, admission rights, commissions and revenue from several services provided to the Group’s lessees.
 
The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code section 1221 provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease within the initial six months by means of written notification. If option is used within the first year of the lease, the Tenant shall pay the Lessor, as compensation, the equivalent of one-and-a-half month’s rent, and one month’s rent if the tenant makes use of the option after that period. Given that the rule does not provide for advance notice, Lease Agreements include a provision whereby the lessee must give at least 60 days advance notice of its intention to terminate the lease. The exercise of such early termination could materially and adversely affect the Group.
 
The Group has determined that, in all operating leases, the lease term for accounting purposes matches the term of the contract. The Group concluded that, even though a lease is cancellable under law, tenants would incur significant “economic penalties” if the leases are terminated prior to expiry. The Group considered that these economic penalties are of such amount that continuation of the lease contracts by tenants appears to be reasonably certain at the inception of the respective agreements. The Group reached this conclusion based on factors such as: (i) the strategic geographical location and accessibility to customers of the Group’s investment properties; (ii) the nature and tenure of tenants (mostly well-known local and international retail chains); (iii) limited availability of identical revenue-producing space in the areas where the Group’s investment properties are located; (iv) the tenants’ brand image and other competitive considerations; (v) tenants’ significant expenses incurred in renovation, maintenance and improvements on the leased space to fit their own image; (vi) the majority of the Group’s tenants only have stores in shopping malls with a few or none street stores. See details in Note 24.
 
Lessees of rental space located within shopping malls are generally required to pay the higher of: (i) a base monthly rent (the “Base Rent”) and (ii) a specific percentage of gross monthly sales recorded by the Lessee (the “Contingent Rent”), which generally ranges between 2% and 12% of the lessees’ gross sales. In addition, in accordance with the standard terms of the typical commercial lease, the Base Rent is usually increased at that time by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Argentina.
 
In addition, some leases include provisions that set forth variable rent based on specific volumes of sales revenue and other types of ratios.
 
Rental income from shopping mall properties leased out under operating leases is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. When lease incentives are granted, they are recognized as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore recognized on the same straight-line basis.
 
Contingent rents, being lease payments that are not fixed at the inception of a lease, are recorded as income in the periods in which they are known and can be determined. Rent reviews are recognized when such reviews have been agreed with tenants.
 
Tenants in the Group’s shopping mall are also generally charged a non-refundable admission right upon entering a lease contract or renewing an existing one. Admission rights are treated as additional rental income and recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective lease agreement.
 
The Group acts as its own leasing agent for arranging and closing lease agreements for its shopping malls properties and consequently earns letting fees. Letting fees are paid by tenants upon the successful closing of an agreement. A transaction is considered successfully concluded when both parties have signed the related lease contract. Letting fees received by the Group are treated as additional rental income and are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreements.
 
Lease contracts also provide that common area maintenance (“CAM”) of the Group’s shopping malls are borne by the corresponding lessees, generally on a pro rata basis. CAM include all such expenses convenient and necessary for various purposes including, but not limited to, the operation, maintenance, management, safety, preservation, repair, supervision, insurance and enhancement of the shopping malls. The lessor is responsible for determining the need and suitability of incurring a common area service charge. The Group makes the original payment for such expenses, which are then reimbursed by the lessees. The Group considered that it acts as a principal in these cases.
 
 
B-28
 
   
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
Service charge income related to CAM is presented separately from property operating expenses. Property operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
 
Under the terms of the leases, lessees also agree to participate in collective promotion funds (“CPF”) to be used in advertising and promoting the Group’s shopping malls. Each lessee’s participation generally equals a percentage calculated based on the monthly accrued rental prices.
 
Revenue so derived is also included under rental income and services segregated from advertising and promotion expenses. Such expenses are charged to income when incurred.
 
On the other hand, revenue includes income from managed operations and other services such as car parking spaces. Those revenues are recognized on an accrual basis as services are provided.
 
Office and other rental properties portfolio
 
Rental income from office and other rental properties include rental income from office leased out under operating leases, income for services and expenses recovery paid by tenant.
 
Rental income from office and other rental properties leased out under operating leases is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases (‘rent averaging’). When lease incentives are granted, they are recognized as an integral part of the net consideration for the use of the property and are therefore recognized on the same straight-line basis.
 
Contingent rents are recorded as income in the periods in which they are collected. Rent reviews are recognized when such reviews have been agreed with tenants.
 
Leases also provide that common area service charges of the Group’s office and other rental properties are borne by the corresponding lessees, generally on a proportionate basis. These common area service charges include all such expenses convenient and necessary for various purposes including, but not limited to, the operation, maintenance, management, safety, preservation, repair, supervision, insurance and enhancement of the shopping malls. The Group acts as the management of rental properties. The Group makes the original payment for such expenses, which are then reimbursed by the lessees. The Group considered that it acts as a principal in these cases. The Group accrues reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all these expenses as service charge revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred and is presented separately from property operating expenses. Property operating expenses are expensed as incurred.
 
Sales and Development activities
 
Revenue from sale and developments of real estate properties primarily comprises the results from the sale of trading properties. Results from the sale of properties are recognized only when the control has been transferred to the buyer. This normally takes place on unconditional exchange of contracts (except where payment or completion is expected to occur significantly after exchange). For conditional exchanges, sales are recognized when these conditions are satisfied.
 
The Group also enters into barter transactions where the Group normally exchanges undeveloped parcels of land with third-party developers for future property to be constructed on the bartered land and on occasion, the Group also receives cash as part of the transactions. Legal title to the land together with all risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the developer upon sale. The Group generally requires the developer to issue insurances or to mortgage the land in favor of the Group as performance guarantee. In the event the developer does not fulfil its obligations, the Group forecloses on the land through the execution of the mortgage or the surety insurances, together with a cash penalty.
 
The Group determines that its barters have commercial substance and that the conditions for recording the income from the transfer of parcels or land are met at the time the swap operation is carried out. Revenues are recorded at the fair value of the goods delivered, adjusted as appropriate by the amount of cash received. In exchange for the parcels or land transferred, the Group generally receives cash and / or a right to receive future units that are part of the projects to be built on the parcels or land exchanged. This right is initially recognized at cost (this being the fair value of the land transferred) as an intangible asset in the statements of financial position. Said intangible asset is not adjusted in subsequent years unless it is impaired.
 
 
B-29
 
   
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
The Group may sell the residential apartments to third-party homebuyers once they are finalized and transferred from the developer. In these circumstances, revenue is recognized when the control is transferred to the buyer. This will normally take place when the deeds of title are transferred to the homebuyer.
 
However, the Group may market residential apartments during construction or even before construction commences. In these situations, buyers generally surrender a down payment to the Group with the remaining amount being paid when the developer completes the property and transfers it to the Group, and the Group in turn transfers it to the buyer. In these cases, revenue is not recognized until the apartments are completed and the transaction is legally completed, that is when the apartments are transferred to the homebuyers and deeds of title are executed. This is because in the event the residential apartments are not completed by the developer and consequently not delivered to the homebuyer, the Group is contractually obligated to return to the homebuyer any down payment received plus a penalty amount. The Group may then seek legal remedy against the developer for non-performance of its obligations under the agreement. The Group exercised judgment and considers that the most significant risk associated with the asset the Group holds (i.e. the right to receive the apartments) consisting of the non-fulfillment of the developer’s obligations (i.e. to complete the construction of the apartments) has not been transferred to the homebuyers upon reception of the down payment.
 
2.26. Share capital
 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
 
When any of the Group’s subsidiaries purchases the Company’s share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of tax) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. When such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
 
Instruments issued by the Group that will be settled by the Company delivering a fixed number of its own equity instruments in exchange for a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset are classified as equity.
 
2.27. Earnings per share
 
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and when dilutive, adjusted for the effect of all potentially dilutive shares, including share options, on an as-if converted basis.
 
In computing diluted earnings per share, income available to common shareholders used in the basic earnings per share calculation is adjusted to add back the after-tax amount of interest recognized in the year with respect to any debt convertible to common stock. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is adjusted to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Diluted earnings per share is based on the most advantageous conversion rate or exercise price over the entire term of the instrument from the standpoint of the security holder. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive (Note 29).
 
2.28. Dividend distribution
 
Cash dividend distribution to the Group’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the period in which the dividends are approved. Such amounts have been recorded either under Retained earnings, if already forfeited or under Trade and other payables, if not forfeited.
 
2.29. Dividend income
 
Dividends earned are recorded when declared. Result of the declared dividend is accounting regarding the accounting method of the investment that generated that dividend.

2.30. Comparative information
 
The balances as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 that are disclosed for comparative purposes were restated in accordance with IAS 29. See Note 2.1. Certain figures have been reclassified for the purposes of comparative presentation with those of the current year.
 
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, there was a devaluation of the Argentine Peso in relation to the US Dollar of approximately 66%, 47% and 74%, respectively. This situation affects the comparability of figures disclosed in these Financial Statements, arising mainly from the impact of the exchange rate on our assets and liabilities in foreign currency.
 
2.31. Seasonal effects on operations
 
The operations of the Group’s shopping mall properties are subject to seasonal effects, which affect the level of sales recorded by tenants. During summertime (January and February), shopping malls tenants generally experience the lowest sales levels in comparison with the winter holidays (July) and during the Christmas Seasons (December) when they tend to record peak sales. Apparel stores generally change their collections during the spring and the fall, which impacts positively on shopping mall sales. Sale discounts at the end of each season also impact in the business. Consequently, a higher level of revenues is generally expected in shopping mall operations during the second half of the year rather than the first.
 
3. Significant judgments, key assumptions and estimates
 
Not all of these significant accounting policies require management to make subjective or complex judgments or estimates. The following is intended to provide an understanding of the policies that management considers critical because of the level of complexity, judgment or estimations involved in their application and their impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. These judgments involve assumptions or estimates in respect of future events. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

TGLT - Recapitalization agreement
 
On August 8, 2019, we entered into certain arrangements with TGLT S.A. (“TGLT”) providing for collaboration in TGLT’s financial restructuring and recapitalization. We participated in the recapitalization agreement whereby TGLT committed: (i) to make a public offer to subscribe Class A preferred shares at a subscription price of USD 1.00 per TGLT share; (ii) to make a public offering of new Class B preferred shares which may be subscribed by (a) the exchange for ordinary shares ofTGLT, at an exchange ratio of one Class B preferred share for every 6.94 ordinary shares of the Company and / or (b) the exchange for convertible notes, at an exchange ratio of a Class B preferred share for each USD 1.00 of convertible notes (including accumulated and unpaid interests under the existing convertible notes); and (iii) to grant an option to subscribe new Class C preferred shares in a public offer for cash to be carried out if: (a) the public offer of Class A and Class B preferred shares are consummated and (b) a minimum number of option holders have exercised that option at a subscription price per Class C preferred share of USD 1.00 (or its equivalent in pesos).
 
Likewise, IRSA Propiedades Comerciales signed as a holder of convertible notes of TGLT an agreement for deferment of payment of interest payable as of February 15, 2019 and August 15, 2019 until November 8, 2019 and an option agreement which may be subscribed Class C preferred shares.
 
Finally, supporting the recapitalization plan, IRSA Propiedades Comerciales signed with TGLT a subscription commitment for Class A preferred shares under Class A Public Offer to make a contribution in kind of shares of the company La Maltería SA, 100% of its ownership, for an amount up to USD 24 million and promised to exchange its convertible negotiable obligations into preferred Class B shares.
 
In turn, on November 22, 2019, TGLT held a bondholders of convertible negotiable obligations meeting in order to consider the modification of different clauses of the indenture in force at that date, and in line with what was agreed in the recapitalization agreement, IRSA Propiedades Comerciales voted in favor of the modifications.
 
Under the agreements described above, the successful consummation of the offer by TGLT, and having reached the thresholds of consent of the holders of convertible notes of TGLT, on December 11, 2019, the Company concluded the established process in the recapitalization agreement and related documents through the subscription of preferred Class A shares, integrating them in kind through the contribution of the shares of the company La Maltería SA, 100% of their ownership and, likewise, proceeded to the exchange of the convertible note - including deferred interest and accrued interest from August 15, 2019 to December 11, 2019 - in preferred Class B shares.

5. Financial risk management
 
5.1 Financial risk
 
Risk management principles and procedures
 
The risk management function within the Group is carried out in respect of financial risks arising from financial instruments to which the Group is exposed during or at the end of the reporting period. Financial risk comprises market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and capital risk.
 
The Group’s diverse activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks in the normal course of business. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize the Group’s capital costs by using suitable means of financing and to manage and control the Group’s financial risks effectively. The Group uses financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures when deemed appropriate based on its internal management risk policies.
 
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, interest bearing assets and liabilities, other financial liabilities, other investments and derivative financial instruments. The Group manages its exposure to key financial risks in accordance with the Group’s risk management policies.
 
The Group’s risk management policies are implemented at all its subsidiaries companies in order to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group’s management framework includes policies, procedures, limits and allowed types of derivative financial instruments.
 
The Group has established a Risk Committee, comprising Senior Management and a member of the Audit Committee of Cresud (IRSA’s parent company), which reviews and oversees management’s compliance with these policies, procedures and limits and has overall accountability for the identification and management of risk across the Group.
 
This section provides a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s strategy, performance, results of operations and financial condition. The principal risks and uncertainties facing the businesses, set out below, do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.

 
 
B-34
 
  
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
  
The effect of exposure to the context in which the Group operates was analyzed in Note 35 to these Financial Statements.
 
(a) Market risk management
 
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The Group’s market risks arise from open positions in foreign currencies, interest-bearing assets and liabilities, and risk of market price of equity securities, to the extent that these are exposed to general and specific market movements. The Group sets limits on the exposure to these risks that may be accepted, which are monitored on a regular basis.
 
The examples of sensitivities to market risks included below are based on a change in one factor while holding all other factors constant. In practice this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the factors may be correlated - for example, changes in interest rate and changes in foreign currency rates.
 
Foreign exchange risk and associated derivative financial instruments
 
The Group publishes its consolidated Financial Statements in Argentine Pesos but conducts business in many foreign currencies. As a result, the Group is subject to foreign currency exchange risk due to exchange rate movements, which affect the Group’s transaction costs. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency, that is, Argentine Pesos.
 
The real estate activities of the Group’s subsidiaries are primarily located in Argentina where the Argentine Peso is the functional currency. A significant majority of the Group’s business activities is conducted in the functional currency of the subsidiaries (the Argentine Peso), thus not exposing the Group to foreign exchange risk. However, in the ordinary course of business, the Group transacts in currencies other than the Argentine Peso. These transactions are primarily denominated in US dollars. The Group’s net financial position exposure to the US dollar is managed on a case-by-case basis, by entering into different derivative instruments and/or by borrowing in foreign currencies. Exposure to other foreign currencies has not been significant to date.
 
Financial instruments are only considered sensitive to foreign exchange rates where they are not in the functional currency of the entity that holds them. The following table shows the US dollar-denominated net amounts of the financial instruments for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. All amounts are presented in Argentine Pesos, the presentation currency of the Group:
 
 
  06.30.21 
  06.30.20 
Borrowing position with third parties
  (35,234)
  (49,330)
Lending position with related parties
  6,488 
  14,883 
Net monetary position
  (28,746)
  (34,447)
 
The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 10% oscillation of the US dollar against the Argentine Peso at year-end would impact in the profit before income tax in an amount of ARS 2,875 and ARS 3,445 for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
 
This sensitivity analysis provides only a limited, point-in-time view of the sensitivity of the foreign exchange risk associated with Group’s financial instruments. The actual impact of the foreign exchange rate changes on the Group’s financial instruments may differ significantly from the impact shown in the sensitivity analysis.
 
Furthermore, the Group also uses derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, to manage exposure to foreign exchange risk. As of June 30, 2021 there were no foreign-currency forward contracts. As of June 30, 2020 there were foreign-currency forward contracts in the amount of ARS 22 (net liabilities).
 
Interest rate risk
 
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on its investments in debt instruments, short-term and long-term borrowings and derivative financial instruments.
 
The primary objective of the Group’s investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, the Group diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the Group. The Group maintains a portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including both government and corporate obligations and money market funds and ETF funds.

 
B-35
 
   
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
  
As the Group’s investments in this type of financial instrument subject to this risk are not significant, changes in market interest rates do not have any significant direct effect on the Group’s income.
 
The Group’s interest rate risk principally arises from long-term borrowings (Note 19). Borrowings issued at floating rates expose the Group to the risk that the actual cash flows differ from those expected. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to the risk that the fair values of these differ from those expected. The Group manages this risk by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate interest bearing liabilities. These activities are evaluated regularly to determine that the Group is not exposed to interest rate movements that could adversely impact its ability to meet its financial obligations and to comply with its borrowing covenants.
 
The Group’s interest rate risk policy is approved by its management. The Group analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated, taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing sources. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions. Trade payables are normally interest-free and have settlement dates within one year. The simulation is done on a regular basis to verify that the maximum potential loss is within the limits set by Management.
 
See in Note 19 the breakdown of the Group’s fixed-rate and floating-rate borrowings per currency denomination (excluding finance leases) for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
 
The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 1% oscillation in floating rates at year-end would impact the profit before income tax for the year ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 by ARS 20.6 million and ARS 40.04 million, respectively.
 
Other price risk
 
The Group is exposed to price risk inherent in equity investments, which are classified on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at fair value through profit or loss. The Group regularly reviews the prices evolution of these equity securities in order to identify significant movements.
 
As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the total value of the investment in equity securities issued by other companies equals to ARS 326.1 million and ARS 316.6 million, respectively (Note 14).
 
The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 10% oscillation in equity indexes at fiscal year-end would decrease profit before income tax for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 by ARS 32.6 million and ARS 31.7 million, respectively.
 
(b) Credit risk management
 
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. Credit limits have been established to ensure that the Group deals only with approved counterparties and that counterparty concentration risk is addressed and the risk of loss is mitigated. Counterparty exposure is measured as the aggregate of all obligations of any single legal entity or economic entity to the Group.
 
The Group is subject to credit risk arising from deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments of surplus cash balances, the use of derivative financial instruments and from outstanding receivables. Each local entity is responsible for managing and analyzing this risk.
 
The Group’s policy is to manage credit exposure from deposits, short-term investments and other financial instruments by maintaining diversified funding sources in various financial institutions. All the institutions that operate with the Group are well known because of their experience in the market and high credit quality. The Group places its cash and cash equivalents, investments, and other financial instruments with various high credit quality financial institutions, thus mitigating the amount of credit exposure to any one institution. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in the statements of financial position.

 
B-36
 
   
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
The Group’s primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. The Group generally enters into derivative transactions with high-credit-quality counterparties and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to each counterparty. The amounts subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which counterparty’s obligations exceed the obligations that the Group has with that counterparty. The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments is represented by the carrying value of the assets positions of these instruments.
 
The Group’s policy is to manage credit risks associated with trade and other receivables within defined trading limits. All Group’s significant counterparties have internal trading limits.
 
Trade receivables from investment and development property activities are primarily derived from leases and services from shopping malls, office and other rental properties; receivables from the sale of trading properties and investment properties (primarily undeveloped land and non-retail rental properties). The Group has a large customer base and is not dependent on any single customer.
 
The Group has specific policies to ensure that rental contracts are transacted with counterparties with appropriate credit quality. The majority of the Group’s shopping mall, office and other rental properties’ tenants are well-recognized retailers, diversified companies, professional organizations, and others. Owing to the long-term nature and diversity of its tenancy arrangements, the credit risk of this type of trade receivables is considered to be low. Generally, the Group has not experienced any significant losses resulting from the non-performance of any counterpart to the lease contracts. As a result, the allowance for doubtful accounts balance is low. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Group, as applicable. If tenants are independently rated, these ratings are used. If there is no independent rating, risk control assesses the credit quality of the tenant, taking into account its past experience, financial position, actual experience and other factors. Based on the Group’s analysis, the Group determines the amount of the deposit that is required from the tenant at inception of the lease. Management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties (Note 15).
 
(c) Liquidity risk management
 
The Group is exposed to liquidity risks, including risks associated with refinancing borrowings as they mature, the risk that borrowing facilities are not available to meet cash requirements, and the risk that financial assets cannot readily be converted to cash without loss of value. Failure to manage liquidity risks could have a material impact on the Group’s cash flow and statements of financial position. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding its existing and prospective debt requirements by maintaining diversified funding sources with adequate committed funding lines from high quality lenders.
 
The Group monitors its current and projected financial position using several key internally generated reports: cash flow; debt maturity; and interest rate exposure. The Group also undertakes sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of proposed transactions, movements in interest rates and changes in property values on the key profitability, liquidity and balance sheet ratios.
 
The Group’s debt and derivative positions are continually reviewed to meet current and expected debt requirements. The Group maintains a balance between longer-term and shorter-term financings. Short-term financing is principally raised through bank facilities and overdraft positions. Medium- to longer-term financing comprises public and private bond issues, including private placements. Financing risk is spread by using a variety of types of debt. The maturity profile is managed by spreading the repayment dates and extending facilities.
 
The tables below analyze the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the Statements of Financial Position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the tables are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and as a result, they do not reconcile to the amounts disclosed in the statements of financial position. However, undiscounted cash flows in respect of balances due within 12 months generally equal their carrying amounts in the statements of financial position, as the impact of discounting is not significant. The tables include both interest and principal flows.

(d) Capital risk management
 
The capital structure of the Group consists of shareholders’ equity and short-term to long-term net borrowings. The type and maturity of the Group’s borrowings are analyzed further in Note 19. The Group’s equity is analyzed into its components in the consolidated statements of changes in equity. Capital is managed so as to promote the long-term success of the business and to maintain sustainable returns for shareholders.
 
The Group seeks to manage its capital requirements to maximize value through the mix of debt and equity funding, while ensuring that Group entities continue to operate as going concerns, comply with applicable capital requirements and maintain strong credit ratings.
 
The Group assesses the adequacy of its capital requirements, cost of capital and gearing (i.e., debt/equity mix) as part of its broader strategic plan. The Group continuously reviews its capital structure to ensure that (i) sufficient funds and financing facilities are available to implement the Group’s property development and business acquisition strategies, (ii) adequate financing facilities for unforeseen contingencies are maintained, and (iii) distributions to shareholders are maintained within the Group’s dividend distribution policy. The Group also protects its equity in assets by contracting insurance.
 
The Group’s strategy is to maintain key financing metrics (namely, net debt to total equity ratio (gearing) and loan-to-value ratio (“LTV”) in order to ensure that asset level performance is translated into enhanced returns for shareholders while maintaining an appropriate risk reward balance to accommodate changing financial and operating market cycles.
 
The following table details a number of the Group’s key metrics in relation to managing its capital structure. The ratios are within the ranges previously established by the Group’s strategy.

(ii) Calculated as total current and non-current borrowings divided by total properties (including trading properties, property, plant and equipment, investment properties and units to be received under barter agreements).
 
5.2 Other non-financial risks
 
Property risk:
 
There are several risks affecting the Group’s property investments. The composition of the Group’s property portfolio including asset concentration and lot size may impact liquidity and relative property performance. The Group has a large multi-asset portfolio and monitors its concentration and the average size of its plots of land.
 
A change in trends and economic conditions causes shifts in customer demands for properties with impact on new rentals, renewal of existing leases and reduced rental growth. Also changes in trends increase risk of tenant insolvencies. The Group conducts several actions to mitigate some of these risks whenever possible. The variety of asset types and geographical spread as well as a diversified tenant base, with monitoring of tenant concentration, helps mitigating these risks.

The development, administration and profitability of shopping malls are impacted by various factors including: the accessibility and the attractiveness of the area where the shopping mall is located, the intrinsic attractiveness of the shopping mall, the flow of people, the level of sales of each shopping mall rental unit, the increasing competition from internet sales, the amount of rent collected from each shopping mall rental unit and the fluctuations in their occupancy levels in the shopping malls. If there is an increase in operational costs, caused by inflation or other factors, it could have a material adverse effect on the Group if its tenants are unable to pay their higher rent obligations due to the increase in expenses. The Argentine Civil and Commercial Code provides that tenants may rescind commercial lease agreements after the initial six months by means of reliable notification. If the rescission option is used within the first year of the lease, the Tenant must pay the Lessor, as compensation, the sum equivalent to one-and-a-half month’s rent, and one month’s rent if the option is exercised after that period. Given that the rule does not provide for advance notice, Lease Agreements include a provision whereby the lessee should give at least sixty days advance notice of its intention to terminate the lease. The exercise of such rescission rights could materially and adversely affect the Group.
 
Risks associated with development of properties include the following: the potential abandonment of development opportunities; construction costs exceeding original estimates, possibly making a project uneconomical; occupancy rates and rents at newly completed projects may be insufficient to make the project profitable; the Group’s inability to obtain financing on favorable terms for the development of the project; construction and lease-up may not be completed on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs; the Group’s inability to obtain, or the delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations; preconstruction buyers may default on their purchase contracts or units in new buildings may remain unsold upon completion of constructions; prices for residential units may be insufficient to cover development costs. The Group also takes several actions to monitor these risks and respond appropriately whenever it is under its control. The Group has in-house property market research capability and development teams that monitor development risks closely.
 
The Group generally adopts conservative assumptions on leasing and other variables and monitors the level of committed future capital expenditure on development programs relative to the level of undrawn facilities.
 
6. Segment reporting
 
IFRS 8 requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance, without prejudice of the powers and responsibilities of the Board of Directors. The CODM evaluates the business based on the differences in the nature of its products, operations and risks. The amount reported for each segment is the measure reported to the CODM for these purposes and later to the Board of Directors. In turn, the Board of Directors’ performance is assessed by the Shareholders’ Meeting, which is the Company’s governance body.
 
Operating segments identified are disclosed as reportable segments if they meet any of the following quantitative thresholds:
 
The operating segment’s reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and inter-segment sales or transfers, is 10% or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments.
 
The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10% or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of:
 
the combined reported profit of all operating segments that do not report a loss; and
 
the combined reported loss of all operating segments that report a loss.
 
Its assets are 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.
 
In addition, the operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds could be considered as reportable segments if management estimates that this information could be useful for the users of the financial statements.

If, after determining reportable segments in accordance with the preceding quantitative thresholds, the total external revenue attributable to those segments is less than 75% of the Group’s consolidated external revenue, additional segments are identified as reportable segments, even if they do not meet the thresholds described above, until at least 75% of the Group’s consolidated external revenue is included in reportable segments. Once 75% of the Group’s consolidated external revenue is included in reportable segments, the remaining operating segments are aggregated in “Other segments”.
 
Segment information has been prepared and classified according to different types of businesses in which the Group conducts its activities. The Group’s Investment and Development Properties business is comprised of the following segments:
 
“Shopping Malls” includes the operation and development of shopping malls, through which we generate rental income and fees charged for services related to the lease of retail stores and other spaces. Our Shopping Malls segment includes highly diversified, multi-format assets with a particular focus on retailers that cater to middle- to high-income consumers.
 
“Offices” includes the lease of offices and other rental properties and services related to these properties.
 
“Sales and Developments” includes the sales of undeveloped parcels of land and properties, buildable potentials and activities related to the development and maintenance of such properties.
 
“Others” includes the entertainment activity through ALG Golf Center, TGLT S.A., La Rural S.A. and others.
 
Group’s shopping malls, offices and other rental properties, and trading properties, are located in Argentina.
 
The CODM evaluates performance of business segments based on segment profit, defined as profit or loss from operations before financing and taxation. The measurement principles for the segment reporting structure are based on the IFRS principles adopted in the consolidated Financial Statements, except for:
 
The operating income from the joint ventures Nuevo Puerto Santa Fe S.A. and Quality Invest S.A. are reported under the proportional consolidation method. Under this method, the income/loss generated by joint ventures is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income line-by-line, rather than in a single item as required by IFRS. Management believes that the proportional consolidation method provides more useful information to understand the business return, because the assets and income/loss generated by consolidated operations are similar to the assets and income/loss booked under the equity method. This is due to the fact that under the proportional consolidation method, revenues and expenses are reported separately, instead of offsetting and reporting them as a single item in the consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income. Therefore, the proportional consolidation method is used by the CODM to assess and understand the return and the results of operations of these businesses as a whole. Operating results of La Rural S.A. joint venture is accounted for under the equity method. Management believes that, in this case, this method provides more adequate information for this type of investment. These also include the adjustment for expenses and collective promotion funds.
 
Operating results does not include the amounts pertaining to expenses and collective promotion funds and excludes total recovered costs. The CODM examines the net amount from both concepts (total surplus or deficit between expenses and collective promotion funds and recoverable expenses).
 
Revenues generated and goods and services exchanged among segments are calculated on the basis of market prices. Intercompany transactions among segments, if any, are eliminated.
 
These costs and income are presented now for reconciliation of all segments and their respective consolidating operating income.

Restrictions, commitments and other matters in respect of subsidiaries
 
According to Law N° 19,550, 5% of the profit in each fiscal year must be separated to constitute a legal reserve until they reach legal capped amounts (20% of the nominal value of total capital). This legal reserve is not available for dividend distribution and can only be released to absorb losses. The Group has not reached the legal limit of this reserve. Dividends are paid across the Group’s subsidiaries based on their individual accounting statements.
 
Arcos del Gourmet
 
In December 2013, the Judicial Branch confirmed a precautionary measure that suspended the opening of the Shopping mall because it considered that it did not have certain government permits within the framework of two judicial proceedings. However, by virtue of the result of the ordinary instances of the cases, this precautionary measure was dismissed and the shopping mall has been operating for five years.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, one of these judicial proceedings continued its process in an extraordinary instance, as the plaintiff filed an appeal for unconstitutionality before the Superior Court of Justice of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. Although that appeal was initially rejected, the plaintiff filed a complaint for denied appeal and finally it was granted. Within that framework, the Superior Court of Justice of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires decided to refer the proceedings to the Chamber so that it may issue a new sentence contemplating certain parameters set by said Court regarding the transfer of green spaces to the City. On February 14, 2019, the Chamber decided to condemn the Government of the City of Buenos Aires (“GCBA”) and Arcos, providing for the partial annulment of resolution 157 / APRA / 14 at the point that it did not consider appropriate for Arcos to transfer 65% of the land for use and public utility with unrestricted access and destined “especially and preferably to the generation of new landscaped green spaces”. Consequently, it was resolved that the GCBA must issue an administrative act that provides for this assignment. If it does not do so, Arcos must also comply with said assignment, either on the premises where the commercial center is currently located, be it totally or partially on land adjacent to the area. Failing to do this, Arcos del Gourmet S.A. (“Arcos”) must pay, prior to the realization of an expert report to be ordered in the execution stage, the sum of money necessary in order for the Administration to proceed to the search for a property with the objective of fulfilling the aforementioned purpose. If none of the aforementioned forms of compliance are specified, the power to order will be expedited - prior intervention of the relevant experts and / or technical departments of the corresponding GCBA - the demolition of the necessary works in order to comply with the ordered assignment.

Against that judgment, an appeal for local unconstitutionality was filed on March 11, 2019 and a federal extraordinary appeal on March 15, 2019. After the relevant transfers were made, the Chamber decided to reject the appeal for unconstitutionality raised, which is why on May 29, 2019, a complaint was lodged due to an appeal of unconstitutionality denied. Said appeal is pending before the Superior Court of Justice of the City of Buenos Aires. On June 10, 2019, said the Court urged Arcos to accompany additional documentation. This documentation consists of provisions dictated by different departments of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires. Such intimation was fulfilled in a timely manner.
 
Due to all of the foregoing, the Company’s legal advisors, although they consider that the outcome of the complaint is still uncertain, they consider that even if it is unfavorable, there is a low probability that, once the court ruling in the case is signed and once all recursive instances have been exhausted, the demolition of the works carried out in the Property is definitively ordered.
 
Nowadays, the Distrito Arcos shopping mall is currently open to the public and operating normally.
 
Concession Status
 
In November 2008, the Arcos del Gourmet S.A. signed a contract with the Agencia de Administración de Bienes del Estado (State Assets Administration Office, or AABE in Spanish) for which the Company had been granted the concession to use the properties located in the jurisdiction of Estación Palermo, ex Línea San Martín - Palermo loading deck (on Juan B. Justo Avenue from Santa Fe Avenue to Paraguay Street) until December 31, 2025 (the “Arcos concession agreement”).
 
Subsequently, in September 2011, a contract for the readjustment of this concession was entered into with the Railway Infrastructure Administrator (ADIF in Spanish) (to which the rail assets were transferred in the jurisdiction of AABE), pursuant to the term of the Arcos concession agreement was extended until December 31, 2030. This new agreement provides for an automatic extension of 3 years and 4 months in the event that the Company complies with the agreement and ADIF so finds. Likewise, a new extension is established for an additional 3 years if the Company so declares and ADIF corroborates compliance with the obligations. This agreement established an initial monthly fee of ARS 200,000 (plus VAT) until December 31, 2025, and ARS 250,000 (plus VAT) as of January 1, 2026, these values being adjustable every 2 years until the end of the term of the concession.
 
The Argentine government issued Executive Order 1723/2012, whereby several plots of land located in prior rail yards of Palermo, Liniers and Caballito were designated for development and urbanization projects.
 
In this respect and as part of several measures related to other licensed persons and/or concessionaires, the Company was notified, of Resolution 170/2014 revoking of the Arcos Concession agreement.
 
It should further be pointed out that such measure:
 
(i) it is not related to a breach by Arcos del Gourmet S.A.
 
(ii) there is any interruption of the commercial development or operation of the shopping mall, which continues to operate under normal conditions.
 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arcos del Gourmet S.A. has filed the relevant administrative resources (appeal) and has also filed a judicial action requesting that the revocation of the Arcos Concession agreement be overruled. In the framework of this process, the National Government has already answered the transfer of the claim. Likewise, the administrative appeal has been withdrawn (legal imperative for having initiated legal action).
 
Currently the file was opened for testing and we are producing it. To date, the testimonial statements have been produced and the production of the calligraphic and accounting expert evidence remains.
 
At the same time, the National Government filed a lawsuit to launch Law No. 17,901 against Arcos del Gourmet S.A., which is currently being resolved on its connection with the annulment action initiated by the Company.

In turn, and due to the possibility that the eviction of the Arcos District property would be resolved in a short time, a precautionary measure was filed in order to avoid the eviction until the annulment action is resolved. On June 28, 2019, the interim precautionary measure was granted, which is why the opening of the property has been suspended. The amount of ARS 60,500,000 was set as a real surety, which was fulfilled with the constitution of a surety policy. However, it should be noted that the resolution that granted the precautionary measure has been appealed. On March 3, 2020, the CNACAF (National Chamber of Appeals in Federal Administrative Dispute) decided that since the six-month period originally established by the Court of First Instance for the validity of the precautionary measure had expired, the treatment of appeals was devoid of purpose. Faced with this resolution, an appeal for reconsideration was presented in extremis and the First Instance Courts was simultaneously requested to order the extension of the precautionary measure. On October 23, 2020, the extension of the precautionary measure for six months was resolved, which was later appealed by Playas Ferroviarias de Buenos Aires S.A. and the AABE, pending resolution of the appeal filed by both. In view of the impending expiration of the six-month period set by the Judge of First Instance when granting the precautionary measure, on March 8, 2021, the Company requested that an extension of the validity of the measure. On May 6, 2021, the precautionary measure was extended. However, this measure was appealed by Playas Ferroviarias and AABE.
 
Likewise, it has also initiated a consignment lawsuit in which Arcos del Gourmet S.A. is depositing in due time and form the rental fees corresponding to the Contract for the Readjustment of the Use and Exploitation Concession that Arcos del Gourmet S.A. interprets has been improperly revoked. In this process, the claim was transferred, which was answered by Trenes Argentinos with exceptions. These exceptions were answered by us.
 
Emprendimiento Recoleta S.A.
 
As a result of a public auction, in February 1991, the City of Buenos Aires granted to Emprendimiento Recoleta S.A. (ERSA) a 20-year concession to use a plot of land in Centro Cultural Recoleta, which was set to expire in November 2013. In addition, pursuant to Resolution No. 1125/00 issued by the Secretariat of Economy and Finance of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires (Secretaría de Hacienda y Finanzas del GCBA) an extension was granted for “Edificio Esquina” or “Edificio Ballena” to be used as a Multipurpose Area (“Salones de usos múltiples”); and pursuant to Decree No. 867/10 dated November 25, 2010, a five-year extension was granted so the agreement was set to expire on November 18, 2018.
 
On April 12, 2018, ERSA was notified by the Federal National Criminal and Correctional Court No. 1, Secretariat No. 2 in the case entitled “Blaksley Enrique and others s / infraction art. 303 “of the judicial intervention for a period of six months, ordering the appointment of collecting and informants overseers and decreeing their general inhibition of assets. On July 20, 2018 and subsequently, on August 10, 2018, the Company received two new notifications from the same Court in which it was ordered: 1) to transfer to the Court’s account 7.36% of the income received by the company for any concept and 2) designate as representatives of the minority of 46.316% in all shareholders’ meetings, board meetings, the interveners. On January 8, 2019, the Federal National Criminal and Correctional Court No. 1 decreed the preventive seizure for the purpose of confiscation of 46.31% of all value obtained from the sale and / or liquidation of the assets of the Company after deduction of taxes and any other expense. Although these measures were appealed in a timely manner, all of them are in force as of the date of these Financial Statements. 
 
On December 5, 2018, the property was returned to the competent authorities, who from that date have control of the property, terminating the concession. Consequently, and taking into account that ERSA statute has as its sole corporate purpose the exploitation of the aforementioned concession, the Company entered, as of said date, in the process of dissolution and liquidation as established in subsection 4) of Art. 94 of the LGS.
 
It should be noted that the end of ERSA’s concession has no significant impact on the Group’s Financial Statements.

8. Interests in joint ventures
 
Restrictions, commitments and other matters in respect of joint ventures
 
According to Business Companies Law N° 19,550, 5% of the profit of the year is separated to constitute a legal reserve until it reaches legal capped amounts (20% of total capital). This legal reserve is not available for dividend distribution and can only be released to absorb losses. The Group’s joint ventures have not reached the legal limit of this reserve.
 
There are no contingent liabilities relating to the Group’s interest in joint ventures, and there are no contingent liabilities of the joint ventures themselves, other than those mentioned below.
 
TGLT S.A.
 
During the previous fiscal year, TGLT S.A. and the Company entered into a recapitalization agreement, based on which IRSA Propiedades Comerciales increased its investment in TGLT S.A. and as a consequence it began to be considered an associate company.
 
During the current fiscal year, TGLT S.A. has yielded significant losses and its business is being affected by different factors related to the context in which it operates. Therefore, the Company decided to re-evaluate the recoverability of this asset.
 
For this reason and considering that the events are public and have been openly disclosed to the market, it is considered that the market value of the shares is more suitable indicator to determine the value of this investment. This determination implied that an impairment was recognized in the net investment in TGLT S.A. of ARS 626 million in addition to the result from proportional valuation.
 
Quality Invest S.A.
 
On March 31, 2011, Quality Invest S.A. and Nobleza Piccardo S.A.I.C. y F., or “Nobleza Piccardo,” executed the title deed for the purchase of a plot of land of 159,996 square meters located in the District of San Martin, Province of Buenos Aires, currently intended for industrial purposes and suitable in terms of characteristics and scale for mixed-use developments. The price for the property was USD 33 million.
 
 
B-46
 
    
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
On May 16, 2012, the Municipality of San Martin granted a pre-feasibility permit for commercial use, entertainment, events, offices, etc., which would enable performance of a mixed-use development thereon.
 
Pursuant to an Ordinance 11,706 enacted on December 30, 2014, a rezoning permit was obtained for the plot of land to be used mainly for commercial purposes, which considerably expands the uses and potential buildable square meters through new urban indicators. On January 5, 2017, the Provincial Decree N° 1,835 was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Buenos Aires granting its approval, and the new urban and rezoning standards thus became effective. 
 
As approved in the Ordinance, on January 20, 2015, Quality Invest S.A. entered into a zoning agreement with the Municipality of San Martin which governs various issues related to applicable regulations and provides for a mandatory assignment of square meters in exchange for monetary contributions subject to fulfillment of certain administrative milestones of the rezoning process, the first of which (for ARS 20,000,000) was paid to the Municipality ten days after the execution of the aforementioned agreement.
 
Moreover, on June 27, 2016, the plot subdivision plan was filed with the Municipality, in compliance with another significant milestone committed under the zoning agreement.
 
On June 28, 2017, Quality Invest S.A. signed an agreement with EFESUL S.A. in order to assume as their own the obligations that the latter agreed with the Municipality of General San Martin within the framework of the aforementioned Urban Agreement. This agreement contemplates a donation, which will be paid based on the work progress that the Municipality develops on the property initially transferred by EFESUL S.A.
 
In addition, during July 2017, Quality Invest S.A. subscribed two addendums to the aforementioned Urban Development Agreement, which contemplate the following: 1) a new subdivision plan of the property will be presented within 120 days of the addendum signing and 2) the payment of the twelve installment in cash was replaced by the sum of ARS 71 million payables in 18 equal and consecutive monthly installments.
 
On October 16, 2018, Quality Invest S.A. signs the 3rd amendment to the Urban Agreement, which, in relation to the first clause of the second addendum, contemplates that the company must pay the Municipality as a balance for the execution of the Expansion and enhancement of the Rodríguez Peña Street, the amount of ARS 19,722,222.22 in capital and ARS 6,362,864.29 in concept of adjustment by application of the CPI until December 31, 2018, which will be paid for work progress certificates.
 
On December 27, 2018, Quality Invest S.A. subscribed a bailment agreement with the Municipality of San Martín, in relation to the strip to be transferred for the realization of the Metrobus, in front of Av. San Martín. Once Quality Invest S.A. subdivision plan has been registered, it will be transferred by public deed or similar document that strip for Metrobus to the Municipality of San Martín.
 
As of the date of these Financial Statements, the subdivision plan has been presented to the Secretary of Public Works and Services of the Municipality of San Martín, and the approval by the Municipality has been granted. On October 3, 2019, the Municipal Mayor of the General San Martín District, in use of his powers, approved the domain setting for use to be assigned presented by the firm Quality Invest S.A., through the signing of Decree 1587 / 19.
 
Obtained the domain setting by the Municipality of San Martín, through Decree 1587/19, in February 2020 progress was made in the approval process through our Geototal Study advisor, presenting the subdivision plan, before the Geodesy Directorate of the Province of Buenos Aires, in which the Directorate of Catastro and Land Registry intervenes.

As of the date of these Financial Statements, no news was registered due to the presentations at the Directorate of Catrasto and the Provincial Directorate of Hydraulics.
 
On July 20, 2020 we were notified of the granting of the Hydraulic Aptitude in pre-feasibility instance.
On August 5, 2021, they were signed between Quality Invest S.A. and the Municipality of San Martín the following documents:
 
● CLUB PERETZ CLUB AGREEMENT ACT CLOSING: It is agreed that within 48 hours of signing this document Quality Invest S.A. will pay the certificates owed for the work in question already completed, releasing both parties from any claim regarding the Minutes signed on January 20, 2015.

La Rural S.A.
 
In connection with the Fairground, as publicly known, in December 2012 the National Executive Branch issued Executive Order 2552/12 that annulled an executive order dated 1991 which had approved the sale of the Fairground to the Sociedad Rural Argentina (SRA); the effect of this new order was to revoke the sale transaction. Subsequent, on March 21, 2012, the National Executive Branch notified the SRA of said executive order and further ordered that the property be returned to the Argentine government within 30 subsequent days. Then, the SRA issued a press release publicly disclosing the initiation of legal actions and the obtaining of a precautionary measure for which Decree 2552/12 was suspended. Furthermore, as it has become publicly known, on August 21, 2013, the Supreme Court of Justice rejected the appeal filed by the Argentine government against the interim measure timely requested by the SRA.
 
Neither has IRSA Propiedades Comerciales been served notice formally nor is it a party involved in the legal actions brought by the SRA.
 
Given the potential dimension of the dispute, as it has been known to the public, we estimate that if Executive Order 2552/12 was found to be unconstitutional, such order shall have no legal effects either in Entertainment Holdings S.A. (EHSA) or in the acquisition by IRSA Propiedades Comerciales of an equity interest in EHSA. However, should the opposite happen, that is, a court order declaring the Executive Order 2699/91, this could have a real impact on acquired assets. In this scenario, the judicial decision may render the purchase of the Plot of Land by SRA null and void, and all acts executed by SRA in relation to the Plot of Land, including the right of use currently held by the entity where EHSA has an indirect equity interest, through vehicle entities, would also become null and void.
 
On June 1, 2015, a ruling was issued in case 4573/2012 SOCIEDAD RURAL ARGENTINA vs. NATIONAL STATE - EXECUTIVE POWER ON DECLARATORY ACTION, whereby the injunction staying the effects of Executive Order 2552/12 were lifted.
 
On June 2, 2015 the SRA filed a writ of appeals against the ruling indicated above and on that same date the appeal was admitted with staying effects. While the appeal filed by SRA was filed in the Appellate court, the decision of the judge of first instance who decided to lift the precautionary measure had no effect and was suspended.
 
On September 17, 2015, the court of appeals revoked the decision and rejected in the motion by of the Argentine government to lift the precautionary measure and the Law N° 26,854 was declared inapplicable to the case of precautionary measures against the Government. As a result, the injunction issued on January 4, 2013 was confirmed. The National Government filed an extraordinary federal appeal and subsequently a complaint, both were dismissed, therefore, the precautionary measure was reaffirmed.
 
On March 11, 2016 La Rural S.A. was summoned as third party in the case referred to above, and filed an answer to such summons on April 6, 2017.

On April 21, 2016 the National Government presented itself, requested the annotation of litis as a precautionary measure, opposed the exception of incompetence, raised the inadmissibility of the declaratory action of certainty, in subsidy, proceeded to answer the complaint. It also requested the suspension of the sentence until the criminal case is resolved and opposed, as a counterclaim, a motion declare the annulment of Decree 2699/91, as well as all those acts enacted in consequence of said decree.
 
By order of April 29, 2016, the National Government was presented, opposed to the exception raised, the claim in subsidy was contested and the action of injuriousness filed, and it ordered the transfer of the different Government proposals to the SRA.
 
On the same occasion, the precautionary measure for the annotation of the requested litigation was admitted under the responsibility of the National Government regarding the individualized properties in the process.
 
On November 22, 2016, SRA answered the transfer of the injuriousness action filed by the National Government, which was considered as answered on December 1.
 
On December 21, 2016, the National Government, for its part, answered the exception of expiration opportunely opposed. Nevertheless, it was indicated that confirmation with La Rural S.A. was pending.
 
On June 19, 2017, the transfer of the exception of incompetence raised by the National Government was substantiated, which was answered by La Rural S.A. in June 2017. On the same occasion, SRA accused expiry of that previous exception in the terms of article 310 CPCCN, which was resolved by order of July 14, 2017.
 
On that occasion it was resolved to sustain the expiration filed by Sociedad Rural Argentina regarding the incident of exception of incompetence filed by the National Government. Therefore, the process was settled in the Civil and Commercial Federal jurisdiction.
 
On August 28, 2017, the National Government notified the transfer of the request of certain sections of the SRA’s submission that answered the counterclaim and was transferred to the third party of the prescription exception opposed by the SRA at the time of answer the counterclaim. Both substations were answered by SRA and La Rural S.A. on September 4, 2017.
 
On October 5, 2017, the Federal Oral Criminal Court No. 2 requested the referral of the proceedings in the context of the case: “Menem, Carlos Saúl and other s / inf. Art. 261, first paragraph of the CP “. For presentations of December 2017 and March 2018, SRA requested the Oral Court to return the proceedings in order to continue with the process. As of the date of these Financial Statements, the proceedings have not been returned and are in the possession of the Oral Criminal Court No. 2.
 
On March 27, 2018, the Court decided to convict various Administration officials, including former President Carlos S. Menem and former Minister Domingo F. Cavallo, as necessary participants in the crime of peculation. Additionally, it resolved to acquit the authorities of the imputed Argentine Rural Society and it was decided to reject the request for restitution of the property requested by the AABE, leaving the decision on that matter in the hands of the Federal Civil and Commercial Court involved. The basics of the decision were published on May 28, 2018.
 
On February 27, 2020, the proceedings were considered returned to the Federal Civil and Commercial Court and the parties were ordered to notify their return.
 
On July 30, 2020, the SRA and La Rural S.A. were notified about the return of the proceedings.
 
On August 13, 2020, the Oral Court was released to send the entirety of the evidence to the Civil Court.

Valuation processes
 
The Group’s investment properties were valued at each reporting date by independent professionally qualified appraisers with recognized professional qualification and have experience in the locations and segments of the investment properties appraised. For all investment properties, their current use equates to the highest and best use.
 
The Group’s finance department includes a team that reviews the appraisals performed by the independent appraisers for financial reporting purposes (the “review team”). At each financial year end, the review team: (i) verifies all major and important assumptions relevant to the appraisal in the valuation report from the independent appraiser; (ii) assesses property valuation movements compared to the valuation report; and (iii) holds discussions with the independent appraiser.
 
Changes in Level 2 and 3 fair values, if any, are analyzed at each reporting date during the appraisal discussions between the review team and the independent appraiser. The Board of Directors ultimately approves the fair value calculations for recording into the Financial Statements.
 
During the annual investment property valuation process, the following circumstances were identified, among other aspects: i) entry into force of the modifications in the urban planning code of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) with the new urban code law sanctioned in November 2020 and which entered into force in February 2021 modifying approximately one third of the current code, ii) new construction potential, iii) consolidation of new paradigms of the sector imposed by the pandemic, the general economic situation and the situation of the real estate sector that make technical, legal or economically viable buildable potentials or surpluses for alternative uses of the entire portfolio of properties.
 
In this sense, the shopping malls were the most affected by the aforementioned circumstances, taking into account the size of their plots and their unique and strategic locations, considering an alternative potential realization market.
 
 
B-52
 
   
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
  
The impact of the pandemic and the long-term closure of shopping malls led to a reconsideration of the possibility of mixed uses in the buildable potentials of such shopping malls, seeking a new centrality and enhancing the attractiveness in replacement of anchor stores.
 
On the other hand, the analysis of opening towards its surroundings and the generation of open spaces produced a new distribution of the value of the existing square meters, producing a change of focus on how to maximize said surplus square meters.
 
This led to reevaluate the analysis of the value of surplus square meters that were potentially marketable, (being that historically they were the most profitable), to reconvert them to other complementary uses. The buildable potentials analyzed have unique, irreplaceable locations, with high potentials, feasible realization and very attractive from an economic point of view. As a data, the value of construction during 2020 improved the relationship of the construction cost and its future sale speculation of square meters.
 
The buildable potentials identified in this fiscal year are related to the following shopping malls and are valued in accordance with the methodology established for the rest of the Level 2 properties:
 
1.
Patio Bullrich, CABA
2.
Alto Palermo, CABA
3.
Córdoba Shopping, Córdoba
4.
Alto Rosario, Rosario, Santa Fe.
 
Valuation techniques used for the estimation of fair value of the investment property:
 
The Group has defined valuation techniques according to the characteristics of each property and the type of market in which these assets are located, to maximize the use of observable information available for the determination of fair value.
 
For the Shopping Malls there is no liquid market for the sale of properties with these characteristics that can be taken as a reference of value. Likewise, the Shopping Malls, a business whose revenue is denominated in Argentine Pesos, are highly related to the evolution of macroeconomic variables in Argentina, the purchasing power of individuals, the economic cycle of GDP growth, the fluctuations of inflation, among others. Consequently, the methodology adopted by the Group for the valuation of Shopping Malls is the discounted cash flow model (“DCF”), which allows the volatility of the Argentine economy to be taken into account and its correlation with the revenue streams of the Malls and the inherent risk of the Argentine macroeconomy. The DCF methodology contemplates the use of certain unobservable valuation assumptions, which are determined reliably based on the information and internal sources available at the date of each measurement. These assumptions mainly include the following:
 
Future projected income flow based on the current locations, type and quality of the properties, supported by the rental contracts that the Company has signed with its tenants. Because the Company’s income arises from the higher value between a Base Rent (“VMA”) and a percentage of the sales of the tenants in each Shopping Mall, estimates of the evolution of GDP and Inflation of the Argentine economy provided by external consultants to estimate the evolution of tenant sales, which present a high correlation with these macroeconomic variables. Said macroeconomic projections were contrasted with the projections prepared by the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) and with the Market Expectations Survey (“REM”), which consists of a survey prepared by the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (“BCRA”) aimed at local and foreign specialized analysts in order to allow a systematic monitoring of the main macroeconomic forecasts in the short and medium term on the evolution of the Argentine economy.
The income from all Shopping Malls was considered to grow with the same elasticity in relation to the evolution of the GDP and the projected Inflation. The specific characteristics and risks of each Shopping Mall are collected through the use of the historical average Ebitda Margin of each of them.
Cash flows from future investments, expansions, expansions or improvements in Shopping Mall were not contemplated.
Terminal value: a perpetuity calculated from the cash flow of the last year of useful life was considered.
The cash flow for concessions was projected until the termination date of the concession stipulated in the current contract.
 
   
 
B-53
 
 
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
Given the prevailing inflationary context and the volatility of certain macroeconomic variables, a reference long term interest rate in Argentine Pesos is not available to discount the projected cash flows from shopping malls. Consequently, the projected cash flows were dollarized through the future ARS / USD exchange rate curve provided by an external consultant, which are contrasted to assess their reasonableness with those of the IMF, OECD, REM and the On-shore Exchange Rate Futures Market (“ROFEX”). Finally, dollarized cash flows were discounted with a long-term dollar rate, the weighted average capital cost rate (“WACC”) for each valuation date.
The estimation of the WACC discount rate was determined according to the following components:
 
a)
United States Treasury risk-free rate;
b)
Industry beta, considering comparable companies from the US, Brazil, Chile and Mexico, in order to contemplate the Market Risk on the risk-free rate;
c)
Argentine country risk considering the EMBI + Index; and
d)
Cost of debt and capital structure, considering that information available from the Argentine corporate market (“blue chips”) was determined as a reference, since sovereign bonds have a history of defaults. Consequently, and because IRSA Propiedades Comerciales, based on its representativeness and market share represents the most important entity in the sector, we have taken its indicators to determine the discount rate.
   
For offices and other rental properties, land reserves, and buildable potentials the valuation was determined using transactions of comparable market, since the market for offices and land reserves in Argentina is liquid and has market transactions that can be taken as a reference. These fair values are adjusted to the differences in key attributes such as location, property size and quality of interior. The most significant input to this comparable market approach is the price per square meter that derives from the supply and demand in force in the market at each valuation date.
 
As of September 2019, the real estate market began to experience certain changes in its operation as a result of the implementation of regulations on the exchange market. In general terms, the measure implemented on September 1, 2019 by the Argentine Central Bank, establishes that exporters of goods and services must liquidate their foreign exchange earnings in the local market no later than 5 days after collection. Likewise, it is established that resident legal entities may buy foreign currency for the importation or payment of debts at maturity, but they will need the approval of the Argentine Central Bank for buying foreign currency for the formation of foreign assets, pre-cancellation of debts, turn abroad profits and dividends and make transfers abroad. Additionally, the regulations mentioned above restrict the access to purchase dollars for human persons. Subsequently, the Argentine Central Bank established stricter control, further limiting access to the foreign exchange market (see Note 35 to these Financial Statements).
 
From the previous year, it is observed that the sale and purchase transactions of office buildings can be settled in Argentine Pesos (using an implicit exchange rate higher than the official one) or in dollars. Consequently, the most likely scenario is that any sale of office buildings / undeveloped parcels of land will be settled in Argentine Pesos at an implicit exchange rate higher than the official one, which is reflected in the operations carried out by the Group before and after the closing of these Financial Statements. (See Note 4 and Note 36 to these Financial Statements). Therefore, the Group has valued its office buildings and undeveloped parcels and buildable potentials in Argentine Pesos at the end of the year considering the situation described above, considering an implicit exchange rate higher than the official one. It can sometimes be difficult to reliably determine the fair value of the property under development. In order to assess whether the fair value of the property under development can be determined reliably, management considers the following factors, among others:
 
The provisions of the construction contract.
The stage of completion.
Whether the project/property is standard (typical for the market) or non-standard.
The level of reliability of cash inflows after completion.
The development risk specific to the property.
Past experience with similar constructions.
Status of construction permits.
 
There were no changes to the valuation techniques during the year.

Determination of fair values
 
IFRS 9 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. All financial instruments recognized at fair value are allocated to one of the valuation hierarchy levels of IFRS 7. This valuation hierarchy provides for three levels.
 
 
B-61
 
    
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
In the case of Level 1, valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities that the Group can refer to at the date of the statements of financial position. A market is deemed active if transactions take place with sufficient frequency and in sufficient quantity for price information to be available on an ongoing basis. Since a quoted price in an active market is the most reliable indicator of fair value, this should always be used if available.
 
The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise equity investments, mutual funds, bonds and non-convertible notes for which quoted prices in active markets are available. In the case of equity shares, the Group allocates them to this level when either a stock market price is available or prices are provided by a price quotation on the basis of actual market transactions.
 
In the case of Level 2, fair value is determined by using valuation methods based on inputs directly or indirectly observable in the market. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level comprise foreign-currency forward contracts and swaps of interest rate.
 
In the case of Level 3, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as no observable market data are available. The inputs used reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors which any market player would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the best available information for this, including internal company data. The Group uses the best available information, including internal data.
 
When no quoted prices in an active market are available, fair values are based on recognized valuation methods. The Group uses a range of valuation models for the measurement of Level 2 and Level 3 instruments, details of which may be obtained from the following table:

Leases and services receivables from investment properties:
 
Trade receivables related to leases and services from the shopping malls and offices represent 95.2% and 98.7% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Group has a large customer base and is not dependent on any single customer. Leases and services receivables that are not due and for which no allowance has been recorded relate to a wide and varied number of customers for whom there is no external credit rating available. Most of these customers have been actively renting a minimum of six months. New customers with less than six months are constantly monitored. At the end of the year, the Group has not experienced credit issues with these new customers.
 
As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Group recorded net loss due to leases and services receivables for an amount of ARS 203 and ARS 468, respectively.

Consumer financing receivables:
 
Trade receivables related to the residual activities of the Group represent only 0.4% and 0.7% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
 
As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Group provided for recorded net losses on impairment of consumer financing receivables in an amount of (ARS 9) and (ARS 11), respectively.
 
The estimation of the credit risk is complex and requires the use of rating and scoring models which are essential to measure default risk. In measuring the consumption credit risks of credit purchases made through credit cards and cash advances, the Group considers two components: (i) the probability of default by client or counterparty, and (ii) the likeable recovery rate of obligations in arrears. The models are reviewed regularly to check their effectiveness with respect to actual performance and, where necessary, to enhance them.
 
Receivables from the sale of properties:
 
Trade receivables related to the sale of properties represent 4.5% and 0.6% of the Group’s total trade receivables as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Payments on these receivables are generally received when due and are generally secured by mortgages on the properties, thus credit risk on outstanding amounts is considered low.

21. Current and deferred income tax
 
The Group’s income tax has been calculated on the estimated taxable profit for each year at the rates prevailing in the respective tax jurisdictions. The subsidiaries of the Group in the jurisdictions where the Group operates are required to calculate their income taxes on a separate basis; thus, they are not permitted to compensate subsidiaries’ losses against subsidiaries’ income.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry-forwards to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefits through future taxable profits is probable. Tax loss carry-forwards may have expiration dates or may be permanently available for use by the Group depending on the tax jurisdiction where the tax loss carry forward is generated. Tax loss carry-forwards in Argentina generally expire within 5 years.

In order to fully realize the deferred income tax asset, the Group will need to generate taxable income in the countries where the net operating losses were incurred. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future over the years in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes that as the end of the present year it is probable that the Group will realize all of the deferred income tax assets in Argentina.
 
As of June 30, 2021, the tax loss carry-forwards of the Group and the jurisdictions which generated them are as follows:

The Group did not recognize deferred income tax assets of ARS 103 and ARS 126 as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 corresponding to losses of ARS 294 and ARS 503, respectively, related to certain subsidiaries. Although management estimates that these subsidiaries will become profitable in the future, as a result of the recent loss history during the last periods and the lack of verifiable and objective evidence, it has been determined that there is sufficient uncertainty as to the generation of sufficient income to be able to offset losses within a reasonable timeframe, therefore, no deferred tax asset is recognized in relation to these losses.
 
Below there is a reconciliation between the income tax recognized and that which would result from applying the prevailing tax rate on the profit / (loss) Before Income Tax for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019:

The amounts provided in the scale will be adjusted annually, as of January 1, 2022, considering the annual variation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), corresponding to the month of October of the year prior to the adjustment, with respect to the same month from the previous year. The amounts determined by application of the described mechanism will be applicable for the fiscal years that begin after each update.
 
22. Employee benefits
 
The Group maintains a defined contribution plan (the “Plan”) covering key members of management in Argentina. The Plan became effective on January 1, 2006. Participants may make contributions to the Plan of up to 2.5% of their monthly salary (“Base Contributions”) and contributions of up to 15% of their annual bonus (“Extraordinary Contributions”). Under the Plan, the Group matches employee contributions to the plan at a rate of 200% for Base Contributions and 300% for Extraordinary Contributions.
 
All contributions are invested in funds administered outside of the Group. Participants or their assignees, as the case may be, may have access to the 100% of the Group contributions under the following circumstances:
 
(i)     ordinary retirement in accordance with applicable labor regulations; 
(ii)    total or permanent incapacity or disability;
(iii)   death.
 
In case of resignation or termination without good cause, the manager will receive the Group’s contribution only if the employee has participated in the Plan for at least 5 years.
 
Contributions made by the Group under the Plan amount to ARS 49, ARS 44 and ARS 48 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
 
23. Equity Incentive Plan
 
The Group maintains an equity incentive plan, under which certain selected employees, directors and top management of the Group, IRSA and Cresud (the “Participants”). Engagement is voluntary and by invitation of the Board of Directors.
 
This plan was effectively established on September 30, 2011 and is administered by the Board of Directors of the Group, IRSA and Cresud, as appropriate, or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the respective companies.
 
Initially, the Incentive Plan established that Participants would be entitled to receive shares (“Contributions”) of IRSA Propiedades Comerciales, IRSA and Cresud, based on a percentage of the annual bonus, on condition that they keep holding the acquired shares and remain an employee of the Group for at least 5 years, among other conditions required to qualify for such Contributions. Due to the small number of transactions in the market it was not possible to fulfil the formal aspects of the plan and as established by the Shareholders’ Meeting the Board of IRSA Propiedades Comerciales decided to modify certain conditions, including, delivery of IRSA and Cresud shares (upon transfer of funds by IRSA Propiedades Comerciales) to replace the shares of IRSA Propiedades Comerciales, IRSA and Cresud.
 
Consequently, shares shall be under the ownership of IRSA and Cresud, and as the conditions established by the Plan are verified, such contributions are transferred to the Participants.
 
Additionally, IRSA Propiedades Comerciales’ Board of Directors resolved to include a special one-off bonus composed of unrestricted shares issued by IRSA for the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2014, to employees with 2 or more years of service.
 
As of June 30, 2021 and 2020 IRSA Propiedades Comerciales has a credit of ARS 12.4 and ARS 18.6 million and a liability of ARS 2.5 with IRSA and ARS 3.8 million with Cresud S.A.C.I.F. y A.. The subsidiaries of IRSA Propiedades Comerciales have a liability of ARS 14.6 and ARS 21.9 million with IRSA.
 
 
B-73
 
   
IRSA Propiedades Comerciales S.A.
 
As of June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the amount accrued for the plans amounts to ARS 45.9 million, ARS 91.8 million and ARS 136.1 million respectively, based on the market value of the shares to be granted pertaining to the Group’s contributions, proportionately to the period already elapsed for the vesting of shares in the Incentive Plan and adjusted for the probability that any beneficiary should leave the Group before the term and/or the conditions required to qualify for the benefits of the plan are met at fiscal year-end.
 
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2019 the Group has incurred in a charge related to the Incentive Plan and the extraordinary gratification of ARS 0.6 million. As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the plan is completely accrued.
 
24. Leases
 
The Group as lessor
 
Operating leases:
 
Leases of shopping malls, office and other buildings
   
The Group enters into cancellable operating leases relating to the Arcos District shopping center on its behalf since January 2020. The agreements have an average term raging from three to five years. Some leases related to anchor stores have terms of ten years, which are usually extendable. Tenants normally pay a rent which consists of the higher of (i) the base rent; and (ii) the percentage rent (which generally ranges between 2% and 12% of the tenants’ gross sales). The percentage of increase to be applied on the Basic Rent in force at that moment is the Consumer Price Index (CPI) of the Argentine Republic. Regarding the supplementary rental, because this item is not known until the end of the period, it falls within the definition of contingency rental under IFRS 16.
 
The book value of assets for such leases are described in Note 9.
 
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the base and contingent rental income of the Group’s shopping malls amounted to ARS 3,542, ARS 6,570 and ARS 9,517, respectively, and are included under “Income from sales, rentals and services” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Other Comprehensive Income.
 
Additionally, IRSA Propiedades Comerciales, owns a shopping mall property known as "Patio Olmos" in the Province of Córdoba, Argentina. The Group leases this property to a third party shopping mall operator under an operating lease agreement expiring in 2032. The agreement provides for fixed monthly payments, adjusted pursuant to a rent escalation clause. Rental income for the years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019 amounted to ARS 7, ARS 10 and ARS 12, respectively, and is included in the line item “Income from sales, rentals and services” in the Consolidated Statements of  Income and Other Comprehensive Income.
 
The Group also enters into cancellable operating leases agreements relating to offices and other buildings. These agreements have an average term raging from three to five years. The tenants are charged a base rent on a monthly basis.
  
Office and other buildings leases amount to ARS 2,432, ARS 3,174 and ARS 2,719 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are included within “income from sales, rentals and services” in the Consolidated Statements of  Income and Other Comprehensive Income.
 
The book value of assets for such leases are described in Note 9.
 
The future minimum proceeds under non-cancellable operating leases from Group’s shopping malls, offices and other buildings are as follows:

33. CNV General Ruling N° 629/14 - Storage of documentation
 
On August 14, 2014, the CNV issued General Resolution N° 629 whereby it introduced amendments to rules related to storage and conservation of corporate books, accounting books and commercial documentation. In this sense, it should be noted that the Group has entrusted the storage of certain non-sensitive and old information to the following providers:

Economic context in which the Groupoperates
 
The Group operates in a complex context both due to macroeconomic conditions, whose main variables have recently experienced strong volatility, as well as regulatory, social, and political conditions, both nationally and internationally.
 
The results from operations may be affected by fluctuations in the inflation and the exchange rate of the Argentine peso against other currencies, mainly the dollar, changes in interest rates which have an impact on the cost of capital, changes in government policies, capital controls and other political or economic events both locally and internationally.
 
In December 2019, a new strain of coronavirus (SARS-COV-2), which caused severe acute respiratory syndrome (COVID-19) appeared in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. In response, countries have taken extraordinary measures to contain the spread of the virus, including imposing travel restrictions and closing borders, closing businesses deemed non-essential, instructing residents to practice social distancing, implementing lockdowns, among other measures. The ongoing pandemic and these extraordinary government measures are affecting global economic activity, resulting in significant volatility in global financial markets.
 
On March 3, 2020, the first case of COVID-19 was registered in the country and as of today, more than 5,000,000 cases of infections had been confirmed in Argentina, by virtue of which the Argentinian Government implemented a series of health measures of social, preventive and mandatory lockdown at the national level with the closure of non-essential activities, including shopping malls, as well as the suspension of flights and border closures, for much of the year 2020. Since October 2020, a large part of the activities started to become more flexible, in line with a decrease in infections, although between April 16 and June 11, 2021, because of the sustained increase in the cases registered, the National Government established restrictions on night activity and the closure of shopping malls in Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area. As of the date of these financial statements, 100% of the shopping malls are operational.
 
This series of measures affected a large part of Argentine companies, which experienced a drop in their income and inconveniences in the payment cycle. In this context, the Argentine government announced different measures aimed at alleviating the financial crisis of the companies affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Likewise, it should be noted that, to the stagnation of the Argentine economy, a context of international crisis is added because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this scenario, a strong contraction of the Argentine economy was evidenced.
 
At the local environment, the following circumstances were observed:
 
In May 2021, the Monthly Economic Activity Estimator (“EMAE” in Spanish) reported by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (“INDEC” in Spanish), registered a variation of 13.6% compared to the same month of 2020, and (2.0%) compared to the previous month.
The annual retail inflation reached 50.20% in the last 12 months. The survey on market expectations prepared by the Argentine Central Bank in April 2021, called the Market Expectations Survey (“REM” in Spanish), estimates a retail inflation of 47.3% for 2021. Analysts participating in the REM forecast a rebound in economic activity in 2021, reaching an economic growth of 6.4%.
In the period from June 2020 to June 2021, the Argentine peso depreciated 35.9% against the US dollar according to the wholesale average exchange rate of Banco de la Nación Argentina. Given the exchange restrictions in force since August 2019, as of June 30, 2021, there is an exchange gap of approximately 77.5% between the official price of the dollar and its price in parallel markets, which impacts the level of activity in the economy and affects the level of reserves of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic. Additionally, these exchange restrictions, or those that may be issued in the future, could affect the Group's ability to access the Single Free Exchange Market (“MULC” in Spanish) to acquire the necessary currencies to meet its financial obligations.

COVID-19 pandemic
 
As described above, the COVID-19 pandemic is adversely impacting both the global economy and the Argentine economy and the Group's business. The current estimated impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group as of the date of these financial statements are established below:
 
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, shopping malls in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area suspended their operations between April 16 and June 11, operating only those items considered essential such as pharmacies, supermarkets and banks. The impact on income for the closing months due to the pandemic was 40.3% in fiscal year 2021.
Regarding the offices, although most of the tenants continue to work from home, they are operational with strict safety and hygiene protocols. To today, we have registered a slight increase in vacancies, although we have not evidenced a deterioration in collections.
La Rural, the Buenos Aires and Punta del Este Convention Centers and the Arena stadium, establishments that the Group owns directly or indirectly, were closed from March 20, 2020, to July 12, 2021, date from which the protocols for holding events, congresses and exhibitions were activated.
   
The final extent of the Coronavirus outbreak and its impact on the country's economy is still uncertain. However, although it has produced significant short-term effects, they are not expected to affect business continuity and the Group’s ability to meet its financial commitments for the next twelve months.
 
The Group is closely monitoring the situation and taking all necessary measures to preserve human life and the Group's businesses.
 
35. Subsequent events
 
Sale of real estate parcels in Hudson
 
On August 2, 2021, a bill was signed for the sale of several parcels of the property called Casonas located in Hudson, Berazategui district.
 
The price of the transaction was USD 0.6 million.
 
Corporate reorganization process
 
On September 30, 2021 the Company's Board of Directors has approved the beginning of the corporate reorganization process in the terms of article 82 and sbqs. of the General Companies Law No. 19,550, the Income Tax Law No. 20,628, amendments and regulations, CNV’s Rules and the Listing Regulations of BYMA, by which IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones SA (“IRSA”), acting as the absorbing company, will merge by absorption with IRSA PC, as the absorbed company. In this regard, the Board of Directors has approved: (i) the individual and special merger financial statements as of June 30, 2021; (ii) the consolidated and special merger financial statements as of June 30, 2021; (iii) the subscription of the Prior Merger Agreement between both companies and (iv) establish the effective date of reorganization on July 1, 2021.
 
The merger is subject to the approval of the shareholders' meeting of both companies, which will be held once both companies have the administrative approval of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, an entity to which they are subject because both companies’ shares are listed in markets that operate in said jurisdiction.
 
Likewise, and within the framework of the reorganization process, the Board of Directors has approved the exchange ratio, which has been established at 1.40 IRSA shares for each IRSA PC share, which is equivalent to 0.56 IRSA GDS for each ADS of IRSA PC.

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
Under Argentine law, any provision, whether contained in the articles of association of a company or in any agreement, exempting any officer or director or indemnifying any officer or director against any liability which by law or otherwise would attach to them in respect of negligence, default, misfeasance, breach of duty or trust, is void. A company may, however, indemnify an officer or director against any liability incurred by them in defending any proceedings, whether criminal or civil, in which a judgment is given in their favor. IRSA maintains an officers’ and directors’ insurance policy covering claims brought against its officers and/or directors relating to the performance of their duties.

Item 22. Undertakings
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
 
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 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) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(4) If the registrant is a foreign private issuer, to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F (§ 249.220f of this chapter) at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 77j(a)(3)) need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3 (§ 239.33 of this chapter), a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Item 8.A of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.
 
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
 
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (§ 230.430B of this chapter):
 
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) (§ 230.424(b)(3) of this chapter) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
 
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) (§ 230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (§ 230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of this chapter) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 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 effective date, 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 effective date; or
 
 
228
 
 
 
(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C (§ 230.430C of this chapter), 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 (§ 230.430A of this chapter), 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.
 
(iii) If the registrant is relying on § 230.430D of this chapter:
 
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to § 230.424(b)(3) and (h) of this chapter shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
 
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to § 230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter as part of a registration statement in reliance on § 230.430D of this chapter relating to an offering made pursuant to § 230.415(a)(1)(vii) or (a)(1)(xii) of this chapter for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77j(a)) shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in § 230.430D of this chapter, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 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 effective date, 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 effective date; or
 
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
 
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of 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:
 
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);
 
(ii) 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;
 
(iii) 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
 
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
(7) If the registrant is relying on § 230.430D of this chapter, with respect to any offering of securities registered on Form SF-3 (§ 239.45 of this chapter), to file the information previously omitted from the prospectus filed as part of an effective registration statement in accordance with §§ 230.424(h) and 230.430D of this chapter.
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (i) to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this prospectus, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means, and (ii) to arrange or provide for a facility in the United States for the purpose of responding to such requests. The undertaking in subparagraph (i) above include information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
