- Verify share ownership status as of the January 27, 2026 Cut-Off Date to ensure eligibility for the AR$ 19.1969087544 per share payment.
- Confirm whether the shareholder opted for BOPREAL bond subscription, as this alters the payment currency and timing for non-residents.

- Check with the depositary bank (Bank of New York Mellon) for specific payment dates applicable to American Depositary Shares (ADS).
- Monitor BCRA announcements regarding the settlement of BOPREAL tenders if applicable.
