Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by IRSA Inversiones y Representaciones Sociedad Anonima (IRSA) covers the period ending September 12, 2024. The report details the completion of a share buyback program and provides updated treasury share statistics.
Key Financial Metrics and Share Repurchase Activity

- Recent Transaction: On September 11, 2024, IRSA acquired 150,000 common shares at a price of ARS 1,507.5736 per share, totaling ARS 226,136,035.00.

Material Changes
The primary material change reported is the finalization of the share buyback program. The filing does not provide comparative financial data (revenue, profit, or cash flow) against prior periods, as the document is a specific disclosure of corporate action rather than a periodic financial report.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future operations, or specific risk factors beyond the standard disclosure of trading operation limitations based on volumes in the Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos (BYMA) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
