DIVIDENDS
 In accordance with the provisions of the Argentine Personal Asset Tax Law, we are required to pay the personal asset tax, payable by all of our shareholders who are subject to the tax to the ARCA as of December 31 of each year. Although the law permits companies to recover the amounts paid, recovery can be burdensome. In practice, companies usually bear the cost of this tax, which adversely affects their results and does not generate any income tax deduction.
 Notwithstanding, the Company has applied for an exemption to pay the personal asset tax for the periods 2016 to 2018, in accordance with the benefits of Law 27,260.
 Pursuant to the Argentine Income Tax Law (the “Income Tax Law”), dividends may be subject to income tax. For more information see “Item 10. Additional Information-Taxation”.
 We did not declare any dividends for the fiscal years ended on either December 31, 2022, 2023 or 2024.
 We have a formal dividend policy, for more information see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—Corporate Governance—Dividend Policy” and “Item 10. Additional Information—Dividends.”
