Material Changes and Transaction Status
The tender offer was significantly oversubscribed, with holders tendering approximately US$270.4 million against an initial cap of US$150 million. Consequently, EDENOR exercised its discretion to increase the acceptance cap to US$175 million. Because the increased cap was reached, the Company elected to proceed with an early settlement on April 30, 2026, and will not hold a Final Settlement Date. The withdrawal period ended on April 28, 2026, and tendered notes may no longer be withdrawn.
