Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify share ownership status as of the August 26, 2025 Cut-Off Date to ensure eligibility for the AR$ 17.12 per share payment.
- Confirm whether the 7% withholding tax has been applied correctly to the gross dividend amount.
- Check the status of the BOPREAL tender settlement if the shareholder opted for bond subscription instead of cash payment.
- Monitor the Bank of New York Mellon for specific payment dates applicable to American Depositary Shares (ADS), as they may differ from the local pay-out date.
- Review the remaining seven installments of the dividend plan to understand the total cash flow impact over the coming months.
