Material Changes and Going Concern

Management Commentary, Risks, and Governance
- Governance Changes: The Committee accepted the positions of regular members Daniel Abelovich, Germán Wetzler Malbrán, and Jorge Roberto Pardo, elected at the April 28, 2020 Shareholders' Meeting. Daniel Abelovich was reelected as President of the Supervisory Committee.
- Regulatory Compliance: Due to the public health emergency, Board and Committee minutes have not been transcribed or signed in the relevant books as of the filing date, though resolutions have been noted.
- Accounting Records: The financial statements arise from records kept in conformity with legal regulations, except for the lack of transcription of the CD ROM of the Journal to the Inventory and Balance Sheet Book.
- Conclusion: The Committee concluded that nothing came to their attention to suggest the financial statements were not prepared in accordance with IAS 34, subject to the going concern uncertainty.
