Material Changes Versus Prior Period
Regulatory Authorization: The company has secured a new public offering authorization (Resolution No. RESFC-2026-23459-APN-DIR#CNV) to issue 52,495,359 additional shares. This is a material change from the prior state where only 34,513,586 shares remained authorized under the 2021 resolution.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: Management states the request is necessary to comply with obligations undertaken by the Company and to adjust for changes in the conversion ratio. The authorization ensures the "proper and full exercise of the options currently outstanding."
Risks and Contingencies:
- Dilution Risk: If all unexercised options (53,161,206) are exercised, the total share count will increase significantly to 861,199,098 shares.
- Regulatory Dependency: The ability to issue these shares is contingent upon the CNV's authorization, which has been granted in this filing.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Option Exercise Trends: Verify the rate of option exercises in the months following November 2025 to assess the likelihood of the full 53 million unexercised options being converted.
- Dilution Impact: Calculate the potential dilution effect on earnings per share (EPS) if the maximum capital of 861,199,098 shares is reached.
- Regulatory Status: Confirm that the CNV Resolution No. RESFC-2026-23459-APN-DIR#CNV is fully effective and no further conditions apply to the issuance.
- Financial Health: Review the most recent 20-F or quarterly reports for actual revenue and cash flow data, as this 6-K filing contains no operational financial metrics.
