(1) The Existing Notes are currently listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the "SGX-ST") and are listed on BYMA and traded on A3 Mercados (each as defined herein).
(2) This amount does not reflect any amortizations. The outstanding principal amount of the Existing Notes of US$117,088,652 is subject to a variable amortization factor (the "Amortization Factor") which is calculated in accordance with amortization payments made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Existing Notes. No future amortizations are expected to be made by the Companies under the Existing Notes. As of the date of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Memorandum, and as of (and on or after) the Early Participation Date and the Expiration Date (as defined in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Memorandum), the Amortization Factor is, and is expected to be, 64%.
(3) Per US$1,000 principal amount of the Existing Notes before the application of the relevant amortization factor to the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Notes that are validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn and accepted for exchange in the Exchange Offer.
(4) A principal amount of New Notes equal to US$724 per US$1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes before the application of the relevant amortization factor that is contemplated in the Exchange Consideration and accounts for the capitalization in full of accrued and unpaid interest (excluding any defaulted interest) under the Existing Notes through the Reference Date (as defined in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Memorandum). No accrued interest after the Reference Date is contemplated in the Exchange Consideration (whether in the form of New Notes, in cash or otherwise) and the Companies do not expect to otherwise pay accrued interest on the Existing Notes (whether in the form of New Notes, in cash or otherwise) at any time after the Reference Date, excluding for the avoidance of doubt, in the form of Early Tender Premium as detailed below.
(5) Except for the Early Tender Premium, no additional consideration will be paid in connection with the Offer and Solicitation. The Early Tender Premium will be applied to the outstanding principal amount of Existing Notes reflecting all amortizations through the date of this Exchange Offer Memorandum and Solicitation Statement, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the Reference Date.
(6) The Early Tender Premium shall only be paid to Eligible Holders of Existing Notes that participate in the Offer and Solicitation on or prior to the Early Participation Date even if the Companies decide to pursue the Issuers' APE. The Early Tender Premium shall accrue from (and including) the Reference Date to (but excluding) the applicable Settlement Date (as defined in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Memorandum) and will be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and actual number of days elapsed.
(7) The Early Tender Premium corresponds to a portion of unpaid compensatory and default interest under the Existing Notes accrued until the Settlement Date.
Existing Notes validly tendered, and not validly withdrawn by the Withdrawal and Revocation Date may no longer be withdrawn, and related consents validly delivered and not validly revoked by the Early Participation Date may no longer be revoked, except as may be required by applicable law.
APE Solicitation Results
As of the Early Participation Date, the Companies have received the APE Instructions (as defined in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Memorandum) of holders representing 44.30% of the Existing Notes, in order for the APE Agent to enter into the Issuers' APE.
Additionally, pursuant to the Companies' local exchange offer and consent solicitation to exchange the Local Notes for new notes, the Companies received valid tenders of Local Notes in an aggregate principal amount equivalent to US$337.1 million, out of a total outstanding principal amount equivalent to US$442.1 million of Local Notes, representing 76.24% of the principal amount of the outstanding Local Notes as of the expiration date of such offer. Consequently, considering the amount of valid tenders of Local Notes and related consents that the Companies have received, the Companies informed their intention to proceed with the APE Closing of the Existing Local Notes (as defined in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Memorandum), which can and will include the Existing Notes not exchanged for New Notes, as provided in the Offer and Solicitation Documents.
DTC participants must sign and execute the APE Instruction duly notarized and apostilled or legalized before an Argentine consulate. Participating Holders who have already delivered a PDF copy of the APE Instruction prior to the Early Participation Date must ensure that the original APE Instruction is delivered to the APE Agent no later than five Business Days following the Early Participation Date.
Amendments to the Early Participation Date
The Companies hereby amend the Early Participation Date of the Offer and Solicitation, as set forth in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Memorandum, as follows. Except as otherwise stated herein, all other terms and conditions of the Offer and Solicitation as stated in the Offer and Solicitation Documents remain the same.
The Companies, as courtesy to their Eligible Holders, announced the extension of the Early Participation Date of the Offer and Solicitation, from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 23, 2026, to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 6, 2026 (such date and time, as hereby amended, after this press release is published, unless further extended, the "New Early Participation Date"). Holders who have not already done so may tender their Existing Notes for exchange until the New Early Participation Date and still receive the Early Tender Premium.
Expiration Date of the Exchange Offer is on May 8, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), which remains unchanged after the extension described in the paragraph above.
DTC participants must sign and execute the APE Instruction duly notarized and apostilled or legalized before an Argentine consulate. Participating Holders who deliver the APE Instruction prior to the New Early Participation Date must ensure that the original APE Instruction is delivered to the APE Agent no later than five Business Days following the New Early Participation Date. In addition, a PDF copy of the completed APE Instruction (which does not require notarization or apostille/legalization) must be submitted to the APE Agent by email on or before the Early Participation Date.
