-                                                       Fundación SurfRider Argentina has requested                                                    
           the performance of preliminary proceedings on account of alleged indications of environmental damage in the City of Mar del Plata. The      
           plaintiff seeks the environmental restoration, or compensation for the alleged damages caused by all companies owning gas stations in       
              the coastal area of the City of Mar del Plata for an alleged fuel leakage from gas stations’ underground storage tanks into the          
       water, soil and marine system. The Foundation estimates damages in the amount of Ps. 200 million. The parties agreed to suspend the procedural  
         deadlines, for the purposes of evaluating the possibility of entering into an agreement with some co-defendants. Subsequently, the partial    
    agreement entered into between the plaintiff and some co-defendants was officially approved. The Company, for its part requested the disassociation
         from the process because it does not currently own any service station. However, it should be noted that some service station owners (for     
        which the Company was sued) presented in the file agreements entered into with the plaintiff for their official approval. Some have already    
          been officially approved - and the plaintiff was considered to have partially withdrawn the action and right against the owners of said      
                         service stations and also against the Company with respect to them - and others are in the approval stage.
