 1999, IRSA, through Inversora Bolívar, increased our interest in Puerto Retiro to 50.0% of its capital stock.

The deadline for producing evidence in relation to these legal proceedings has expired. The parties have submitted their closing arguments and are awaiting a final judgment. IRSA cannot give any assurance that it will prevail in this proceeding.

Currently Puerto Retiro S.A., has a plot of 8.3 hectares, which is affected by a zoning regulation defined as U.P. that prevents the property from being used for any purpose other than strictly port activities. IRSA was involved in a bankruptcy extension lawsuit initiated by the Argentine Government, to which the Board is totally alien. 

Tandanor has filed a civil action against Puerto Retiro and the people charged in the referred criminal case looking forward to being reimbursed from all the losses which have arisen upon the fraud committed. On March 7, 2015 Puerto Retiro responded by filing certain preliminary objections, such as limitation, lack of information to respond to the lawsuit, lack of legitimacy (active and passive). On July 12, 2016 Puerto Retiro was legally notified of the decision adopted by the Tribunal Oral Federal No. 5 related to the preliminary objections mentioned above. Two of them were rejected –lack of information and lack of legitimacy (passive). IRSA filed an appeal with regard to this decision, which was rejected. The other two objections would be considered in the verdict.

On September 7, 2018, the Court read its verdict, according to which the preliminary objection of limitation filed by Puerto Retiro was successful. Nevertheless, in the criminal procedure –where Puerto Retiro is not a party- Court ordered the seizure confiscation (“decomiso”) of the land known as “Planta 1.” This Court’s verdict is not final, as it is subject to further appeals Puerto Retiro filed an appeal with regard to the confiscation of Planta I. This appeal has not yet been decided.

On December 27, 2018, an action for cancellation was filed against the judgment that ordered the confiscation of the property named “Planta 1.” On March 1, 2019 IRSA was notified of the “in limine” rejection of the action for cancellation filed. Subsequently, on March 8, 2019, a motion for restitution was filed against said resolution. On March 19, 2019, IRSA was notified of the Court’s decision that rejected
