, plea bargains in exchange for cooperation with the judiciary in corruption investigations, greater access to public information, the seizure of assets from officials prosecuted for corruption, expanded powers for the Anti-Corruption Office, and the enactment of a new public ethics law, among others. We cannot guarantee that the implementation of these measures will be successful or that, once implemented, they will achieve the desired result.

We cannot estimate the impact that these investigations could have on the Argentine economy. Similarly, it is not possible to predict the duration of corruption investigations, nor which companies might be involved or how far-reaching the effects of these investigations might be, which may negatively impact the Argentine economy. In turn, the decrease in investor confidence resulting from any of these, among other issues, could have a significant adverse effect on the growth of the Argentine economy, which could, in turn, harm our business, our financial condition and results of operation and affect the trading price of our common shares and ADSs.

Property values in U.S. dollars in Argentina could decline significantly.

Property values in U.S. dollars are influenced by multiple factors that are beyond our control, such as a decreased demand for real estate properties due to a deterioration of macroeconomic conditions or an increase in supply of real estate properties that could adversely affect the value in U.S. dollars of real estate properties. We cannot assure you that property values in U.S. dollars will increase or that they will not be reduced. Most of the properties we own are located in Argentina. As a result, a reduction in the value in U.S. dollars of properties in Argentina could materially affect our business and our financial statements due to the valuation of our investment properties at fair market value in U.S. dollars.

The emergence and spread of a pandemic-level disease or threat to public health, such as Covid-19, may have a material adverse impact on the Argentine and global economy, our business operations, financial condition or results of operations.

Economic conditions in Argentina may be adversely affected by an outbreak of a contagious disease, such as Covid-19, that develops into a regional or global pandemic and other large scale public health events. The measures taken by governments, regulators and businesses to respond to any such pandemic or event may lead to slower or negative economic growth, supply disruptions, inflationary pressures and significant increases in public debt, and may also adversely affect our customers, which may lead to increased loan losses. Such measures could also impact the business and operations of third parties that provide critical services to us.
