The Withdrawal Date of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on June 3, 2026, has now passed. Existing Notes that have been validly tendered may no longer be withdrawn.
The aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer represents 84.10% of the aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes outstanding. Accordingly, the Minimum Participation Condition set forth in the Offer and Solicitation Statement has been satisfied. In addition, the Company has completed the pricing of the New Notes as part of the New Notes Offering Condition described in the Offer and Solicitation Statement. The Company has elected to exercise its option to accept for purchase any and all of its Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline, subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer and Solicitation Statement (the "Early Settlement Right"). The early settlement date on which the Company will settle the Existing Notes accepted in the Offer is expected to be June 11, 2026 (the "Early Settlement Date").
On the Early Settlement Date, the Company will (i) execute the Supplemental Indenture to give effect to the Proposed Amendments and (ii) pay the Early Tender Offer Consideration, plus Accrued Interest (each as defined in the Offer and Solicitation Statement), with respect to the Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline. The Solicitation has been conducted in accordance with Section 14 of the Argentine Negotiable Obligations Law No. 23,576 (as amended by Argentine Productive Financing Law No. 27,440).
The aggregate cash consideration for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes purchased pursuant to the Offer, payable in respect of Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline, is U.S.$1,000. Only Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Early Tender Deadline will be eligible to receive the Early Tender Offer Consideration. In addition, we will pay Accrued Interest in respect of any Existing Notes purchased in the Offer from the last interest payment date to the Early Settlement Date. None of the payments to be made in connection with the Offer will be made through the Argentine foreign exchange market.
The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on June 18, 2026, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company (such time and date, as it may be extended or earlier terminated with respect to the Offer and Solicitation, the "Expiration Time").
Payment for Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase will be made on the final settlement date, expected to be June 23, 2026, subject to change without notice (the "Final Settlement Date"). The Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Time and so accepted will receive the Tender Offer Consideration, plus any Accrued Interest (each as defined in the Offer and Solicitation Statement), on the Final Settlement Date.
