 some other jurisdictions. In addition, rules and policies against self-dealing and regarding the preservation of shareholder interests may be less well defined and enforced in Argentina than in the United States, putting holders of our common shares and ADSs at a potential disadvantage.

Restrictions on the movement of capital out of Argentina may impair your ability to receive dividends and distributions on, and the proceeds of any sale of, the common shares underlying the ADSs.

Over the last twenty years in Argentina exchange controls and transfer restrictions have been periodically imposed, substantially limiting the ability of companies to retain foreign currency or make payments abroad. Since 2019, new regulations have significantly curtailed access to the foreign exchange market by individuals and private sector entities.

In this regard, the Argentine Government imposed restrictions on the conversion of Argentine currency into foreign currencies and on the remittance to foreign investors of proceeds from their investments in Argentina. Argentine law currently permits the Argentine Government to impose these kind of restrictions temporarily in circumstances where a serious imbalance develops in Argentina’s balance of payments or where there are reasons to foresee such an imbalance. We cannot assure you that ADS Depositary for the ADSs may hold the Pesos it cannot convert for the account of the ADS holders who have not been paid. No assurance can be given that payments to non-resident investors will not suffer delays under the current foreign exchange market regulations or be subject to any additional restrictions, such as a different exchange rate to convert the Pesos into U.S dollars, that may be higher than the current official exchange rate. In this regard, we suggest consulting with the corresponding custodian banks about the exchange regulations applicable. For more information, please see “Item 10. Additional Information—D Exchange Controls” and “Item 3. Key Information – D. Risk Factors”.

For example, the legal framework with respect to shareholder disputes, such as derivative lawsuits and class actions, is less developed under Argentine law than under United States law as a result of Argentina’s short history with these types of claims and few successful cases. In addition, there are different procedural requirements for bringing these types of shareholder lawsuits. As a result, it may be more difficult for our minority shareholders to enforce their rights against us or our directors or controlling shareholder than
