Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Dividend Proposal: The Board of Directors resolved to propose a distribution of profits to the Shareholders' Meeting. The proposal involves separating a portion of the Optional Reserve Fund to allow for a cash dividend or dividend in kind (valued at market price), or a combination of both, totaling AR$ 300,000,000,000 (300 billion). This dividend calculation is based on figures expressed in constant currency as of December 31, 2025.
Regulatory Conditions: The distribution is subject to prior authorization from the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina. The Board has requested delegation of powers to release the reserve and establish payment terms, currency, and dates.
Capitalization: No proposals were submitted regarding the capitalization of profits or capital monetary adjustments.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the Central Bank of Argentina's authorization status for the proposed AR$ 300 billion dividend distribution.
- Confirm the final determination of the dividend mix (cash vs. in-kind) and the specific payment currency and date once approved by shareholders.
- Review the full 20-F annual report for detailed revenue, expense, and liquidity data not included in this 6-K summary.
- Assess the impact of the "constant currency" adjustment on the real value of the proposed dividend relative to inflation.
