Management Commentary, Risks, and Contingencies
During the Board meeting, a significant governance issue arose regarding the Supervisory Committee's report on the financial statements. Mr. Jorge Pardo, a member of the Supervisory Committee, noted that the report was approved by a majority vote rather than unanimously. He submitted a dissenting opinion clarifying that the primary disagreement concerned the feasibility of the company operating as a going concern. Despite this dissent and the abstention of four directors (Endeiza, Setti, Cuattromo, and Durán Cassiet), the Board of Directors unanimously resolved to approve the interim financial statements and authorize their signing.
