Two of the shareholders attending the Meeting shall be appointed
to sign the Meeting minutes toghether with the Board First Vice- President.
2. Partial write-off of the voluntary reserve
fund for future distribution of results in the amount of AR$ 6.500,000,000 and consideration of a cash dividend for the same amount, all

It is requested to inform the reasons motivating
the proposal and its reasonability.
It is also requested to inform in detail the
proposal regarding the amount of partial write-off of the voluntary reserve to maintain the level of capital investments and the current

The Board of Directors has resolved in the meeting held on

to the partial write-off of the voluntary reserve for future distributions of results, all of this subject to the prior authorization
by Banco Central de la República Argentina (Argentine Central Bank or “BCRA”). Pursuant BCRA Communication “A”
6886, the effective payment of the dividend is subject to the prior authorization by said entity. BCRA, by Communication “A”
7312 sets forth the suspension of the distribution of results by financial institutions in general up to December 31, 2021.
The amount of the proposed dividend has been calculated, on

It is hereby requested to provide a detail of the evolution
of the voluntary reserve to maintain the capital investments level and the present corporate solvency ratio. Also, to state its present
composition, date of creation and last movements.
