We maintain our financial books and records in Argentine Pesos and prepare our financial statements in conformity with the accounting rules of
the Argentine Central Bank, which entity prescribes the generally accepted accounting principles for all financial institutions in Argentina. This annual report refers to those accounting principles as Argentine Banking GAAP. Argentine
Banking GAAP differs in certain relevant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in Argentina, which we refer to as Argentine GAAP. Argentine Banking GAAP also differs in certain significant respects from the generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States, which we refer to as U.S. GAAP. See Note 33 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for a description of the differences between Argentine GAAP
and Argentine Banking GAAP, and Note 36 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for a discussion of the principal differences between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP and a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of
our net income for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and total shareholders equity as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects - Item 5.A.
Operating Results-U.S. GAAP and Argentine Banking GAAP Reconciliation.

In this annual report, references to US$
and Dollars are to United States Dollars and references to Ps. or Pesos are to Argentine Pesos. The exchange rate used in translating Pesos into Dollars and used in calculating the convenience translations
included in the following tables is the Reference Exchange Rate which is published by the Argentine Central Bank and which was Ps.13.0050, Ps.8.5520 and Ps.6.5180 per US$1.00 as of December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and
December 31, 2013, respectively. The exchange rate translations contained in this annual report should not be construed as representations that the stated Peso amounts actually represent or have been or could be converted into Dollars at the
rates indicated or at any other rate.

Our fiscal year ends on December 31, and references in this annual report to any specific
fiscal year are to the twelve-month period ended December 31 of such year.

Unless otherwise indicated, all information regarding
deposit and loan market shares and other financial industry information has been derived from information published by the Argentine Central Bank.

We have expressed all amounts in millions of Pesos, except percentages, ratios, multiples and per-share data.

obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in the financial statements. Certain numerical figures shown as totals in some tables may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that preceeded them due to rounding.

|--------- | ------------

You should carefully consider the risks described
below in addition to the other information contained in this annual report. In addition, most, if not all, of the risks described below must be evaluated bearing in mind that our most important asset is our equity interest in Banco Galicia. Thus, a
material change in Banco Galicias shareholders equity or income statement would also adversely affect our businesses and results of operations. We may also face risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial, which may impair our business. Our operations, property and customers are located in Argentina. Accordingly, the quality of our customer portfolio, loan portfolio, financial condition and results of operations depend, to a
significant extent, on the macroeconomic and political conditions prevailing in Argentina. In general, the risk assumed when investing in the securities of issuers from countries such as Argentina, is higher than when investing in the securities of
issuers from developed countries.

Risk Factors Relating to Argentina

The current state of the Argentine economy, together with uncertainty regarding the new government, may adversely affect our business and prospects.

Grupo Galicias results of operations may be affected by inflation, fluctuations in the exchange rate, modifications in
interest rates, changes in the governments policies and other political or economic developments either internationally or in Argentina that affect the country. During the course of the last few decades, Argentinas economy has been
marked by a high degree of instability and volatility, periods of low or negative economic growth and high, fluctuating levels of inflation and devaluation. Grupo Galicias results of operations, the the rights of the holders of securities
issued by Grupo Galicia and the value of such securities could be materially and adversely affected by a number of possible factors, some of which include Argentinas inability to sustain economic growth, the effects of inflation,
Argentinas ability to obtain financing, a decline in the international prices for Argentinas main commodity exports, fluctuations in the exchange rates of other countries against which Argentina competes and the vulnerability of the
Argentine economy to external shocks.

After the presidential elections in October 2011 and in light of the foreign exchange imbalance
that arose as a result of the increase in the dollarization of the private sector portfolio and the decrease in the balance of payment current account surplus, the Government issued a series of regulations with a view to stabilizing Argentinas
stock of international reserves. Since 2012 Argentina went through a period of stagflation. Figures of economic activity reflected a slowdown in the domestic production, together with an increasing inflation rate at a higher pace than that noted in
previous years. However, Argentinas macroeconomic situation was under partial control. After the Peso devaluation with respect to the U.S. Dollar that took place in January 2014, the exchange rate between those two currencies remained
relatively steady until the end of the former governments term of office. At the same time, low activity growth levels continued coexisting with a high inflation rate as a result of the above-mentioned accumulated imbalances, the
governments regulatory actions and certain deterioration of some international contexts variables.

In December 2015,
Argentinas new president, Mauricio Macri, took office. Since assuming office, Mr. Macri has implemented several new measures, such as exchange and regulatory measures that reversed policies that had been in place prior to his
administration. The impact of these new measures, such as a devaluation of the Peso with respect to the U.S. Dollar of approximately 50%, as well as the impact of any measures that the Macri administration may implement in the future, is
unknown and could have a material and adverse impact on the results of our operations.

##### Table of Contents

No assurance can be given that additional events in the future, such as the enactment of new
regulations by the Argentine government or authorities, will not occur. As a result of the foregoing, the financial position and results of operations of private sector companies in Argentina, including Grupo Galicia, the rights of the holders of
securities issued by such institutions and the value thereof may be negatively and adversely impacted.

The performance of the Argentina economy may
deteriorate due to current economic conditions and any significant decline may adversely impact Grupo Galicias financial condition.

According to the data arising from the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC, as per its initials in Spanish), after
the 9.5% and 8.4% recovery observed in 2010 and 2011, respectively, in 2012 the economy grew only 0.8% as activity suffered a slowdown as a consequence of the negative impact of lower crop yields, Brazils economic slowdown and the
deterioration in the investment climate due to, among other things, heightened regulations and the economys loss of competitiveness resulting from a level of inflation that exceeded the exchange rate depreciation. The reversal of some of these
factors, primarily the improvement recorded in the agricultural sector and the recovery of the automotive sector, as a result of higher Brazilian demand, contributed to the acceleration of the Argentine economy in 2013, recording a 2.9% growth. In
2014, however, the level of economic activity decreased and the GDP only grew by 0.5%. International factors, such as the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar, which impacted commodity price dynamics, particularly soy and oil in the case of
Argentina, and the slowdown in the growth of Brazils economy, contributed to the lower GDP growth rate. During 2015, the rate of GDP growth began to show signs of improvement, growing 2.1% during the year, driven primarily by strong economic
performance in the agricultural sector and positive expectations in respect of the new Macri administration.

In the future, a less
favorable international economic environment, a lack of stability and competitiveness of the Peso against other foreign currencies, the low level of confidence among consumers and foreign and domestic investors, a higher inflation rate and future
political uncertainties, among other factors, could affect the development of the Argentine economy and cause volatility in the local capital markets.

The Argentine economy is subject to certain risks, such as fiscal uncertainty including difficulty in reducing the high spending growth rate,
high inflation rates, scarcity of foreign currency which limits economic growth and could lead to additional restrictions on the foreign exchange market, a high level of dependency on positive commodity prices which are volatile and beyond the
control of the government, the limited availability of long-term credit, and regulatory uncertainty. In addition, the international context is currently less favorable than in prior years for the economies of emerging market countries, in particular
as the stabilization and strengthening of the U.S. economy has resulted in the depreciation of currencies of emerging market countries vis-a-vis the U.S. Dollar, a decreasing trend in commodity prices and the a reversal in capital flows
(capital is now flowing out of emerging market economies and into the economics of developed countries).

No assurance can be provided
that the growth rate of the Argentine economy will not stagnate or decrease. Any such stagnation or slowdown or increased economic and political instability could have a significant adverse effect on Grupo Galicias business, financial position
and results of operations and the trading price for its ADSs.

If the high levels of inflation continue, the Argentine economy and Grupo
Galicias financial position and business could be adversely affected.

Since 2007 the Argentine economy has experienced high
levels of inflation. According to private estimates, as figures published by the INDEC were not reliable, inflation rates increased from levels of around 10% in 2005 and 2006, above 20% during the following years, reaching a maximum rate of 42.3% in
2014 and decreasing to 27.2% in 2015, mainly due to the slowdown in economic activity and to the overvaluation of the Peso. Recent measures implemented by the new Macri administration in respect of increases in the rates for public services are
expected to have a negative impact on inflation rates during 2016. In the past, inflation has materially undermined the Argentine economy and the governments ability to generate conditions that fostered economic growth. In addition, high
inflation or a high level of volatility with respect to the same may materially and adversely affect the business volume of the financial system and prevent the growth of financial intermediation activity. This, in turn, could adversely affect
economic activity and employment.

##### Table of Contents

A high inflation rate also affects Argentinas competitiveness abroad, real salaries,
employment, consumption and interest rates. A high level of uncertainty with regard to these economic variables, and lack of stability in terms of inflation, could lead to shortened contractual terms and affect the ability to plan and make
decisions. This may have a negative impact on economic activity and on the income of consumers and their purchasing power, all of which could materially and adversely affect Grupo Galicias financial position, results of operations and
business.

In addition to the above, the accuracy of INDECs calculation of the CPI in Greater Buenos Aires (IPC-GBA, as per initials
in Spanish), according to which inflation was calculated, has been questioned. In particular, concerns were historically voiced that the actual consumer and wholesale price indices may be significantly higher than those that were indicated by INDEC.
In order to address these concerns, the Macri administration has implemented various personnel changes at the INDEC. The new individuals in charge have discontinued most indicators in order to review the same and, potentially, establish new more
accurate and reliable indices. There is currently uncertainty regarding what other future measures such agency may adopt and the impact that the same may have on the relationship between Argentina and the IMF and the results of operations of Grupo
Galicia.

Argentinas ability to obtain financing and to attract direct foreign investment is limited and may adversely affect Grupo
Galicias financial position, results of operations and business.

As of the date of hereof, Argentina has limited access to
foreign financing, primarily as a result of a default in December 2001 on its debt to foreign bondholders, multilateral financial institutions and other financial institutions. Although Argentina settled all of its outstanding debt with the IMF in
2006, carried out a variety of debt swaps with certain bondholders between 2004 and 2010, and reached an agreement with the Paris Club in 2014, the government is still in default with some of the foreign bondholders (the holdout creditors).

Argentina is currently involved in litigation in U.S. courts with such holdout creditors. A U.S. trial court has held, which holding has been
affirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court, that Argentina must make payments to such holdout creditors in respect of their debt.

The new Macri
administration has sought to resolve this outstanding dispute. On February 5, 2016, the new administration submitted a proposed solution to the mediator for this matter. On February 12, 2016, such proposed solution was approved by the
mediator which confirmed an agreement, in principle between the government and the Montreux Partners and EM Ltd. hedge funds.

On
February 19, 2016, Judge Thomas Griesa lifted injunctions that were in place and that had previously prevented Argentina from paying the non-holdout creditors, i.e. those bondholders who accepted had accepted the terms of the proposed swaps in
2005.

Finally, on March 1, 2016, an agreement was reached between the government and the remaining holdout creditors that were not
part of the above described solution that was reached in February 2016. This agreement consisted of a payment in cash of US$ 4,653 million to the NML, Aurelius, Barcebridge and Davidson Kempner funds.

On April 18, 2016, in order to make the payment to said funds and to other bondholders in similar conditions, Argentina issued bonds for
USD 16,500 million, with interest rates between 6.25% and 7.62% and maturities of 3, 5, 10 and 30 years. The payment to the bondholders was made on April 22, 2016, thus reaching a final solution to the Argentine debt in default.

The government may still have limited access to financing in order to stimulate growth and implement reforms and/or the financieng that is
available may only be available with onerous terms (such as high interest rates and shortened availability periods), which could have a significant adverse effect on Argentinas economy and on Grupo Galicias ability to obtain
international financing and adversely affect local credit conditions as well.

A decline in the international prices of Argentinas main commodity exports and an additional real
appreciation of the Peso against the U.S. Dollar could affect the Argentine economy and create new pressures on the foreign exchange market, and have a material adverse effect on Grupo Galicias financial condition, prospects and operating
results.

Argentinas economic recovery since the 2001-2002 crisis and the subsequent 2011 crisis has taken place within a
context for commodities exports, such as soy, which represented approximately 35% of Argentine exports in 2015. High prices for commodities have contributed to the increase in exports by Argentina since the third quarter of 2002, and have
contributed to increased tax revenues for the Argentine government, mainly from export taxes (withholdings). However, this reliance on the export of certain commodities, such as soy, has made the country more vulnerable to fluctuations in their
prices.

A significant increase in the real appreciation of the Peso could affect Argentinas competitiveness, substantially
affecting exports, and this, in turn could prompt new recessionary pressures on the countrys economy and a new imbalance in the foreign exchange market, which could lead to a high degree of volatility in the exchange rate. More importantly, in
the short term, a significant appreciation of the real exchange rate could substantially reduce Argentine public sectors tax revenues in real terms, given the strong reliance on taxes on exports (withholdings). The occurrence of the foregoing
could lead to higher inflation and potentially materially and adversely affect the Argentine economy, as well as Grupo Galicias financial condition and operating results and, thus, the trading prices for its ADSs.

Volatility in the regulatory framework could have a material and adverse effect on Argentinas economy in general, and on Grupo Galicias
financial position, specifically.

After the 2001-2002 financial crisis the Argentine government enacted several laws amending the
regulatory framework governing a number of different activities. As an example regarding the financial system, in fiscal year 2012, the Argentine Central Bank passed a number of regulations that require financial entities, including Banco Galicia,
to provide loans with interest rates that are below the then prevailing market interest rates and, during the fiscal year 2014, the Argentine Central Bank passed new regulations limiting the interest rates and fees that can be charged by financial
entities for certain types of loans to individuals. Although the current administration has eleminated some of this regulations, political and social pressures could inhibit the Argentine governments implementation of policies designed to
generate growth and enhance consumer and investor confidence.

No assurance can be provided that regulations that will potentially be
enacted in the future by Argentine authorities, and especially those related to the financial system, will not materially and adversely affect the assets, revenues and operating income of private sector companies, including Grupo Galicia, the rights
of holders of securities issued by those entities, or the value of those securities. The lack of regulatory foresight could impose significant limitations on activities of the financial system and Grupo Galicias business, and would generate
uncertainty regarding its future financial position and result of operations and trading price for its ADSs.

The Argentine economy and its goods,
financial services and securities markets remain vulnerable to external factors, which could affect Argentinas economic growth and Grupo Galicias prospects.

The financial and securities markets in Argentina are influenced, to varying degrees, by economic and market conditions in other countries.
Although such conditions may vary from country to country, investor reactions to events occurring in one country may affect capital flows to issuers in other countries, and consequently, affect the trading prices of their securities. Decreased
capital inflows and lower prices in the securities market of a country may have a material adverse effect on the real economy of those countries in the form of higher interest rates and foreign exchange volatility.

During periods of uncertainty in international markets, investors generally choose to invest in high-quality assets (flight to
quality) over emerging market assets. This has caused and could continue to cause an adverse impact on the Argentine economy and could continue to adversely affect the countrys economy in the near future.

The problems faced by the European Unions periphery countries, resulting from a combination of factors such as low growth, fiscal woes
and financial pressures, are particularly acute. Reestablishing financial and fiscal stability to offset the low or zero growth continues to pose a challenge. As a result, the leading economies of the European Union imposed emergency economic plans
in such countries, which plans are still in place. During 2014, the U.S. Federal Reserve reduced its asset purchase and its monetary easing programs. Such changes started to strengthen the U.S. Dollar globally, affecting the evolution of
commodity prices and lowering capital inflows; which impacts were seen in 2015.

A new global economic and/or financial crisis or the effects of deterioration in the current
international context, could affect the Argentine economy and, consequently, Grupo Galicias results of operations, financial condition and the trading price for its ADSs.

A potential additional devaluation of the Peso may hinder or potentially prevent Grupo Galicia from being able to honor its foreign currency denominated
obligations.

If the Peso depreciated significantly against the U.S. Dollar, as has recently occurred and which could occur
again in the future, it could have an adverse effect on the ability of Argentine companies to make timely payments on their debts denominated in or indexed or otherwise connected to a foreign currency, generate very high inflation rates, reduce real
salaries significantly, and have an adverse effect on companies focused on the domestic market, such as public utilities and the financial industry. Such a potential devaluation could also adversely affect the Argentine governments capacity to
honor its foreign debt, with adverse consequences for Grupo Galicias and Banco Galicias businesses, which could affect Grupo Galicias capacity to meet future obligations denominated in a foreign currency which, in turn, could have
a material adverse effect on the trading prices for Grupo Galicias ADSs.

At the end of fiscal year 2014 the exchange rate was
8.5520 Pesos per U.S. Dollar, and was relatively stable until the first days after the new administration toke office. On December 16, 2015 the relation was 9.8268 $/USD, and after removing many restrictions regarding the possibility to
access the foreign exchange market the Peso devaluated 40%, reaching 13.7633 on December 17, 2015. Since then it has been moving within the range of 13.0 to 16.0 $/USD, being the exchange rate as of April 22, 2016, of 14.4558 $/USD.

The Argentine foreign exchange market is subject to controls, which may adversely affect the ability and the manner in which Grupo Galicia repays its
obligations denominated in, indexed to or otherwise connected to a foreign currency.

Since December 2001, different government
administrations have established and implemented various restrictions on foreign currency transfers (both in respect of transfer into and out of Argentina). At the end of 2015, after the new Macri administration took office, profound changes have
been made to the foreign exchange regulatory framework in order to relax such restrictions (for further details on these and other control measures on the foreign exchange market, please refer to Item 10. Additional Information 
Foreign Exchange Control).

The impact that the new measures will have on the Argentine economy and Grupo Galicias is
uncertain. No assurance can be provided that the regulations will not be amended, or that no new regulations will be enacted in the future imposing greater limitations on funds flowing into and out of the Argentine foreign exchange market. Any such
measures, as well as any additional controls and/or restrictions, could materially affect Grupo Galicias ability to access the international capital markets and, may undermine its ability to make payments of principal and/or interest on its
obligations denominated in a foreign currency or transfer funds abroad (in total or in part) to make payments on its obligations (which could affect Grupo Galicias financial condition and results of operations). Therefore, Argentine resident
or non-resident investors should take special notice of these regulations (and their amendments) that limit access to the foreign exchange market. Grupo Galicia may be prevented from making payments in U.S. Dollars and/or making payments outside
Argentina due to the restrictions in place at that time in the foreign exchange market and/or due to the restrictions on the ability of companies to transfer funds abroad.

It may be difficult to effect service of process against Grupo Galicias executive officers and directors, and foreign judgments may be difficult
to enforce or may be unenforceable.

Service of process upon individuals or entities which are not resident in the United States
may be difficult to obtain in the United States. Grupo Galicia and substantially all of its subsidiaries are companies incorporated under the laws of Argentina. Most of their shareholders, directors, members of the Supervisory Syndics
Committee, officers, and some specialists named herein are domiciled in Argentina and the most significant part of their assets is located in Argentina. Although Grupo Galicia has an agent to receive service of process in any action against it in

the United States with respect to its ADSs, none of its executive officers or directors has consented to service of process in the United States or to the jurisdiction of any United States court.
As a result, it may be difficult to effect service of process against Grupo Galicias executive officers and directors. Additionally, under Argentine law, the enforcement of foreign judgments will only be allowed if the requirements in sections
517 to 519 of the National Code of Civil and Commercial Procedures are met or, if it is one of the powers governed by provincial law, the requirements in the applicable local code of procedure, and provided that the foreign judgment does not
infringe on concepts of public policy in Argentine law, as determined by the competent courts of Argentina. An Argentine court may consider the enforcement of foreign judgments which order payments to be made pursuant to a foreign-currency
denominated security, to holders outside Argentina is contrary to the public policy of Argentina if for instance at such time there are legal restrictions in place prohibiting Argentine debtors from transferring foreign currency abroad to pay off
debts.

The measures adopted by the Argentine government and the claims filed by workers on an individual basis or as part of a labor union action
may lead to pressures to increase salaries or additional benefits, which would increase companies, including Grupo Galicias, operating costs.

In the past, the Argentine government has passed laws and regulations requiring private sector companies to maintain certain salary levels and
provide their employees with additional benefits. Furthermore, employers, both in the public sector and in the private sector, have been experiencing intense pressures from their personnel, or from the labor unions representing them, demanding
salary increases and certain benefits for the workers, given the high inflation rates.

Grupo Galicia cannot assure you that the Argentine
government will not adopt measures in the future mandating salary increases or the provision of additional employee benefits or that the employees or their unions will not exert pressure in demanding those measures. Any such measures could have a
material and adverse effect on Grupo Galicias expenses and business, results of operations and financial condition and, thus, on the trading prices for its ADSs.

Risk Factors Relating to the Argentine Financial System

The stability of the Argentine financial system is dependent upon the ability of financial institutions, including Banco Galicia, the main subsidiary of
Grupo Galicia, to maintain and increase the confidence of depositors.

The measures implemented by the Argentine government in
late 2001 and early 2002, in particular the restrictions imposed on depositors to withdraw money freely from banks and the pesification and restructuring of their deposits, were strongly opposed by depositors due to the losses on their savings and
undermined their confidence in the Argentine financial system and in all financial institutions operating in Argentina.

If depositors
once again withdraw their money from banks in the future, there may be a substantial negative impact on the manner in which financial institutions, including Banco Galicia, conduct their business, and on their ability to operate as financial
intermediaries. Loss of confidence in the international financial markets may also adversely affect the confidence of Argentine depositors in local banks.

An adverse economic situation, even if it is not related to the financial system, could trigger a massive withdrawal of capital from local
banks by depositors, as an alternative to protect their assets from potential crises. Any massive withdrawal of deposits could cause liquidity issues in the financial sector and, consequently, a contraction in credit supply.

The occurrence of any of the above could have a material and adverse effect on Grupo Galicias expenses and business, results of
operations and financial condition and, thus, on the trading prices for its ADSs.

If financial intermediation activity volumes relative to GDP are not restored to significant levels, the
capacity of financial institutions, including Banco Galicia, the main subsidiary of Grupo Galicia, to generate profits may be negatively affected.

As a result of the 2001-2002 financial crisis, the volume of financial intermediation activity dropped dramatically: private sector credit
plummeted from 24% of GDP in December 2000 to 7.7% in June 2004 and total deposits as a percentage of GDP fell from 31% to 23.2% during the same period. The depth of the crisis and the effect it had on depositors confidence in the financial
system created uncertainty as to its ability to act as an intermediary between savings and credit. Further, the ratio of total financial systems private-sector deposits and loans to GDP is low when compared to international levels and
continues to be lower than the periods prior to the crisis, especially in the case of private-sector deposits and loans, which represented approximately 16% and 20% of GDP, respectively, at the end of 2015.

There is no assurance that financial intermediation activities will continue in a manner sufficient to reach the necessary volumes to provide
financial institutions, including Banco Galicia, with sufficient capacity to generate income, or that that those actions will be sufficient to prevent Argentine financial institutions, such as Banco Galicia, from having to assume excessive risks in
terms of maturity mismatches. Under these circumstances, for an undetermined period of time, the scale of operations of Argentine-based financial institutions, including Banco Galicia, their business volume, the size of their assets and liabilities
or their income-generation capacity could be much lower than before the crisis which may, in turn, impact the results of operations of Banco Galicia and, potentially, the trading price for Grupo Galicias ADSs.

The Argentine financial systems growth and income, including that of Banco Galicia, the main subsidiary of Grupo Galicia, depend in part on the
development of medium- and long-term funding sources.

In spite of the fact that the financial systems and Banco
Galicias deposits continue to grow, they are mostly demand or short-term time deposits and the sources of medium- and long-term funding for financial institutions are currently limited. If Argentine financial institutions, such as Banco
Galicia, are unable to access adequate sources of medium and long-term funding or if they are required to pay high costs in order to obtain the same and/or if they cannot generate profits and/or maintain their current volume and/or scale of their
business, this may adversely affect Grupo Galicias ability to honor its debts.

Argentine financial institutions (including Banco Galicia)
continue to have exposure to public sector debt (including securities issued by the Argentine Central Bank) and its repayment capacity, which in periods of economic recession, may negatively affect their results of operations.

Argentine financial institutions continue to be exposed, to some extent, to the public sector debt and its repayment capacity. The Argentine
governments ability to honor its financial obligations is dependent on, among other things, its ability to establish economic policies that succeed in fostering sustainable growth and development in the long term, generating tax revenues and
controlling public expenditures, which could, either partially or totally, fail to take place.

Banco Galicias exposure to the
public sector as of December 31, 2015 was Ps. 17,361 million, representing approximately 10.8% of its total consolidated assets and slightly less than 1.3 times its shareholders equity. Of this total, Ps. 4,742 million
corresponded to Argentine government securities, while the remaining Ps. 12,619 million were Argentine Central Bank debt instruments. As a result, Banco Galicias income-generating capacity may be materially impacted, or may be
particularly affected by the Argentine public sectors repayment capacity and the performance of public sector bonds, which, in turn, is dependent on the factors referred to above. Banco Galicias ability to honor its financial obligations
may be adversely affected by the Argentine governments repayment capacity or its failure to meet its obligations in regard to Argentine government obligations owed to Banco Galicia.

New limitations on creditors rights in Argentina and on the possibility of enforcing certain guarantees, which could adversely affect the
financial condition of financial institutions, including Banco Galicia, the main subsidiary of Grupo Galicia.

To protect debtors
affected by the 2001-2002 financial crisis, beginning in 2002, the Argentine government passed various laws and regulations that temporarily suspended the ability of creditors to enforce their guarantees and exert their rights under similar
instruments established in financing agreements in the event of default by the debtor. Such limitations have, in some cases, prevented Argentine creditors, such as Banco Galicia, from initiating



-14-

##### Table of Contents

actions and/or lawsuits to collect and recover on defaulted loans. While these rules have ceased to be applicable, in the event of an adverse economic environment or in other circumstances, the
Government could pass new rules and regulations restricting the ability of creditors to enforce their rights pursuant to loan agreements, guarantees and similar instruments or documents, the impact of which may have an adverse effect on the business
of financial institutions in Argentina, including those of Banco Galicia.

The Consumer Protection Law may limit some of the rights afforded to
Grupo Galicia and its subsidiaries.

Argentine Law No. 24240 (the Consumer Protection Law) sets forth a series of
rules and principles designed to protect consumers, which include Banco Galicias customers. The Consumer Protection Law was amended by Law No. 26361 on March 12, 2008 to expand its applicability and the penalties associated with
violations thereof. Additionally, Law No. 25065 (as amended by Law No. 26010 and Law No. 26361, the Credit Card Law) also sets forth public policy regulations designed to protect credit card holders.

On September 17, 2014, Law No. 26993 was enacted, which created a System to Solve Disputes in Consumer Relationships,
introducing new administrative and legal procedures within the framework of the Consumer Protection Law; namely, an administrative system and a judicial system.

The application of both the Consumer Protection Law and the Credit Card Law by administrative authorities and courts at the federal,
provincial and municipal levels has increased. This trend has increased general consumer protection levels. In the event that Grupo Galicia and its subsidiaries are found to be liable for violations of any of the provisions of the Consumer
Protection Law or the Credit Card Law, the potential penalties could limit some of Grupo Galicia and its subsidiaries rights, for example, with respect to their ability to collect payments due from services and financing provided by Grupo
Galicia or its subsidiaries, and adversely affect their financial results of operations. Grupo Galicia cannot assure you that court and administrative rulings based on the newly-enacted regulation or measures adopted by the enforcement authorities
will not increase the degree of protection given to its debtors and other customers in the future, or that they will not favor the claims brought by consumer groups or associations. This may prevent or hinder the collection of payments resulting
from services rendered and financing granted by Grupo Galicias subsidiaries, which may have an adverse effect on their results and operations.

Class actions against financial institutions for an indeterminate amount may adversely affect the profitability of the financial system and of Banco
Galicia, specifically.

Certain public and private organizations have initiated class actions against financial institutions in
Argentina. Class actions are contemplated in the Argentine National Constitution and the Consumer Protection Law, but their use is not regulated. The courts, however, have admitted class actions in spite of lacking specific regulations, providing
some guidance with respect to the procedures for the same. These courts have admitted several complaints filed against financial institutions to defend collective interests, based on arguments that object to charges applied to certain products, the
applicable interest rates and the advisory services rendered in the sale of government securities, among others.

Final judgments entered
against financial institutions under these class actions may affect the profitability of financial institutions in general and of Banco Galicia specifically in relation to class actions filed against Banco Galicia. For further information regarding
class actions brought against Banco Galicia, please refer to the Item 8. Accounting Information  Legal Proceedings  Banco Galicia.

Administrative procedures filed by the tax authorities of certain provinces against financial institutions, such as Banco Galicia (the primary
subsidiary of Grupo Galicia) and amendments to tax laws applicable to Grupo Galicia could generate losses for Grupo Galicia.

Buenos Aires City tax authorities, as well as certain provincial tax authorities, have initiated administrative proceedings against financial
institutions in order to collect higher gross income taxes from such financial institutions beginning in2002 and onward. Such tax authorities are alleging that the Compensatory Bond (as defined below) should be subject to taxation. The purpose of
the Compensatory Bond was to compensate financial institutions for the losses they would otherwise have incurred as a result of the measures implemented to confront the 2001-2002 financial crisis, in particular, the asymmetric pesification. The
final decision regarding these proceedings remains uncertain and substantial losses may be sustained by financial institutions, including Banco Galicia.

Although Banco Galicia considers it has met its tax obligations regarding current regulations and
has properly recorded provisions for those risks based on the opinions and advice of its external legal advisors and pursuant to the applicable accounting standards, certain risk factors may render those provisions inadequate. Tax authorities may
not agree with Grupo Galicias tax treatment, possibly leading to an increase in its tax responsibilities.

Moreover, amendments to
existing regulations may increase Grupo Galicias tax rate and a material increase in the tax burden could adversely affect its financial results.

Risk Factors Relating to Us

Grupo
Galicia may be unable to repay its financial obligations due to a lack of liquidity it may suffer because of being a holding company.

Grupo Galicia, as a holding company, conducts its operations through its subsidiaries. Consequently, it does not operate or hold substantial
assets, except for equity investments in its subsidiaries. Except for such assets, Grupo Galicias ability to invest in its business development and/or to repay obligations is subject to the funds generated by its subsidiaries and their ability
to pay cash dividends. In the absence of such funds, Grupo Galicia may be forced to resort to financing options at unappealing prices, rates and conditions. Additionally, such financing could be unavailable when Grupo Galicia may need it.

Grupo Galicias subsidiaries are under no obligation to pay any amount to enable Grupo Galicia to carry out investment activities and/or
to cancel its liabilities or to give Grupo Galicia funds for such purposes. Each of the subsidiaries is a legal entity separate from Grupo Galicia, and due to certain circumstances, legal or contractual restrictions, as well as to the
subsidiaries financial condition and operating requirements, Grupo Galicias ability to receive dividends and its ability to develop its business and/or to comply with payment obligations could be limited. Under certain regulations and
agreements, Banco Galicia has restrictions related to dividend distribution. In particular, after the end of 2011, the Argentine Central Bank modified the regulations regarding dividend distribution. The new regulation establishes that after paying
dividends, financial institutions must have an excess of computable capital over the minimum requirement of 75%, an increase from the previous requirement of 30%. As a result of these regulations, Banco Galicia was unable to declare dividends for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

Notwithstanding the fact that the repayment of such obligations could be afforded by Grupo
Galicia through other means, such as bank loans or new issues in the capital market, investors should take notice of the above, prior to deciding on their investment in equity in Grupo Galicia. For further information on dividend distribution
restrictions, see Item 5.B. Financial Review and Prospects  Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Corporate governance standards
and disclosure policies that govern companies listing their shares pursuant to the public offering system in Argentina may differ from those regulating highly-developed capital markets, such as the U.S. As a foreign private issuer, Grupo Galicia
applies disclosure policies and requirements that differ from those governing U.S. domestic registrants.

Argentine disclosure
requirements are more limited than those in the United States and differ in important respects. As a foreign private issuer, Grupo Galicia is subject to different disclosure policies and other requirements than a domestic U.S. registrant. For
example, as a foreign private issuer in the U.S., Grupo Galicia is not subject to the same requirements and disclosure policies as a domestic U.S. registrant under the Exchange Act, including the requirements to prepare and issue financial
statements, report on significant events and the standards applicable to domestic U.S. registrants under Section 14 of the Exchange Act or the insider reporting and short-swing profit rules applicable to domestic U.S. registrants.

##### Table of Contents

In addition, although Argentine laws provide for certain requirements that are similar to those
prevailing in the U.S. in relation to publicly listed companies (including, for example, those related to price manipulation), in general, applicable Argentine laws are different to those in the U.S. and in certain aspects may provide different or
fewer protections or remedies as compared to U.S. laws. Further, Grupo Galicia relies on exemptions from certain Nasdaq rules that are applicable to domestic companies. Accordingly, the corporate information available about Grupo Galicia is not the
same as, and may be more limited, than the information available to shareholders of a U.S. company.

Adverse conditions in the credit, capital and
foreign exchange markets may have a material adverse effect on Grupo Galicias financial position and results of operations and adversely impact it by limiting its ability to access funding sources.

Grupo Galicia may sustain losses relating to its investments in fixed- or variable-income securities on the exchange market and its monetary
position due to, among other reasons, changes in market prices, defaults and fluctuations in interest rates and in exchange rates. A deterioration in the capital markets may cause Grupo Galicia to record net losses due to a decrease in the value of
its investment portfolios, in addition to losses caused by the volatility in financial market prices, even if the economy overall is not affected. Any of these losses could have an adverse effect on Grupo Galicias results of operations.

A percentage of Banco Galicias liquidity is derived from local banks and the local capital market. As of December 31, 2015, Banco
Galicias liquidity ratio was 42.9%, as measured by liquid assets as a percentage of total deposits (liquid assets that include cash, bank loans, holdings of securities issued by the Argentine Central Bank (Lebac and
Nobac), net interbank loans, short-term placements with correspondent banks and repurchase agreement transactions in the local market). Any disruptions in the local capital market or in the local financial market, as have been
experienced by Argentina in the past, may result in a reduction in availability and/or increased cost of financing for liquidity obtained from such sources. These conditions may impact Banco Galicias ability to replace, in a cost effective
and/or timely manner, maturing liabilities and/or access funding to execute its growth strategy. Any such event may adversely affect Banco Galicias financial position and/or results of operations.

Grupo Galicias subsidiaries estimate and establish reserves for potential credit risk or future credit losses, which may be inadequate or
insufficient, and which may, in turn, materially and adversely affect its financial position and results of operations.

Grupo
Galicias subsidiaries estimate and establish reserves for potential credit risk and losses related to changes in the levels of income of debtors/borrowers, increased rates of inflation, increased levels of non-performing loans or an increase
in interest rates. This process requires a complex and subjective analysis, including economic projections and assumptions regarding the ability of debtors to repay their loans.

Therefore, if in the future Grupo Galicias subsidiaries are unable to effectively control the level of quality of their loan portfolio,
if loan loss reserves are inadequate to cover future losses, or if they are required to increase their loan loss reserves due to an increase in the amount of their non-performing loans, the financial position and the results of operations of Grupo
Galicias subsidiaries may be materially and adversely affected.

If Grupo Galicias subsidiaries should fail to detect money laundering
and other illegal or inappropriate activities in a comprehensive or timely manner, the business interests and reputation of Grupo Galicia may be harmed.

Grupo Galicias subsidiaries must be in compliance with all applicable laws against money laundering, funding of terrorist activities and
other regulations. These laws and regulations require, among other things, that Grupo Galicias subsidiaries adopt and implement control policies and procedures which involve know your customer principles that comply with the
applicable regulations, and reporting suspicious or unusual transactions to the applicable regulatory authorities. While Grupo Galicias subsidiaries have adopted policies and procedures intended to detect and prevent the use of their networks
for money laundering activities and by terrorists, terrorist organizations and other types of organizations, those policies and procedures may fail to fully eliminate the risk that Grupo Galicias subsidiaries have been or are currently being
used by other parties, without their knowledge, to engage in activities related to money laundering or other illegal activities. To the extent that Grupo Galicias subsidiaries have not detected or do not detect those illegal activities, the
relevant governmental agencies to which they report have the power and authority to impose fines and other penalties on Grupo Galicias subsidiaries. In addition, their business and reputation could be adversely affected if customers use it for
money laundering activities or other illegal activities.

A disruption or failure in Grupo Galicias information technology system could adversely affect its
operations and financial position.

The success of Grupo Galicias subsidiaries is dependent upon the efficient and
uninterrupted operation of their communications and computer hardware systems, including those systems related to the operation of their ATM networks. Grupo Galicias communications, systems or transactions could be harmed or disrupted by fire,
floods, power failures, defective telecommunications, computer viruses, electronic or physical theft and similar events or disruptions. Any of the foregoing events may cause disruptions in Grupo Galicias systems, delays and the loss of
critical data, and could prevent it from operating at optimal levels. In addition, the contingency plans in place may not be sufficient to cover all those events and, therefore, this may mean that the applicable insurance coverage is limited or
inadequate, preventing Banco Galicia from receiving full compensation for the losses sustained as a result of such a global disruption. If any of these events occur, it could damage the reputation, entail serious costs and affect Grupo
Galicias transactions, as well as its results of operations and financial position.

History

Grupo Financiero Galicia

Grupo
Financiero Galicia was formed on September 14, 1999 as a financial services holding company to hold all the shares of the capital stock of Banco Galicia held by members of the Escasany, Ayerza and Braun families. Its initial nominal capital
amounted to 24,000 common shares, 12,516 of which were designated as class A ordinary (common) shares (the class A shares) and 11,484 of which were designated as class B ordinary (common) shares (the class B shares).

Following Grupo Financiero Galicias formation, the holding companies that held the shares in Banco Galicia on behalf of the Escasany,
Ayerza and Braun families were merged into Grupo Financiero Galicia. Following the merger, Grupo Financiero Galicia held 46.34% of the outstanding shares of Banco Galicia. In addition, and due to the merger, Grupo Financiero Galicias capital
increased from 24,000 to 543,000,000 common shares, 281,221,650 of which were designated as class A shares and 261,778,350 of which were designated as class B shares. Following this capital increase, all of our class A shares were held by EBA
Holding S.A., an Argentine corporation that is 100% owned by our controlling shareholders, and our class B shares were held directly by our controlling shareholders in an amount equal to their ownership interests in the holding companies that were
merged into Grupo Financiero Galicia.

On May 16, 2000, our shareholders held an extraordinary shareholders meeting during
which they unanimously approved a capital increase of up to Ps.628,704,540 and the public offering and listings of our class B shares. All of the new common shares were designated as class B shares, with a par value of Ps.1. During this
extraordinary shareholders meeting, all of our existing shareholders waived their preemptive rights. In addition, the shareholders determined that the exchange ratio for the exchange offer would be one class B share of Banco Galicia for 2.5 of
our class B shares and one ADS of Banco Galicia for one of our ADSs. The exchange offer was completed in July 2000 and the resulting capital increase was of Ps.549,407,017. Upon the completion of the exchange offer, our only significant asset was
our 93.23% interest in Banco Galicia.

On January 2, 2004, our shareholders held an extraordinary shareholders meeting during
which they approved a capital increase of up to 149,000,000 preferred shares, each of them mandatorily convertible into one of our class B shares on the first anniversary of the date of issuance, to be subscribed for in up to US$100 million of face
value of subordinated notes to be issued by Banco Galicia to its creditors in the restructuring of the foreign debt of its head office in Argentina (the Head Office) and its Cayman Branch, or cash. This capital increase was carried out
in connection with the restructuring of Banco Galicias foreign debt. On May 13, 2004, we issued 149,000,000 preferred non-voting shares, with preference over the ordinary shares in the event of liquidation, each with a face value of Ps.1.
The preferred shares were converted into class B shares on May 13, 2005. With this capital increase, our capital increased to Ps.1,241,407,017.

In August 2007, Grupo Financiero Galicia exercised its preemptive rights in Banco Galicias share issuance and subscribed for
93.6 million shares of Banco Galicia. The consideration paid for such shares consisted of: (i) US$102.2 million face value of notes due 2014 issued by Banco Galicia in May 2004, and (ii) cash. After the capital increase, Grupo
Financiero Galicia held 94.66% of Banco Galicias shares, an increase from 93.60%.

In September 2013, Grupo Financiero Galicia
announced that it had reached an agreement to merge Lagarcué S.A. and Theseus S.A. into Grupo Financiero Galicia. The consolidated financial statements prepared specifically for this merger were issued as of June 30, 2013 and the
effective date of such merger was September 1, 2013.

This merger resulted in an increased ownership interest by Grupo Financiero
Galicia in its principal subsidiary Banco Galicia of 25,454,193 class B shares of Banco Galicia representing 4.526585% of the total capital stock of Banco Galicia previously owned by Lagarcué S.A. and Theseus S.A.

Consequently, Grupo Financiero Galicia agreed to increase its capital stock by issuing 58,857,580 new class B shares representing 4.526585% of
the outstanding capital stock of Grupo Financiero Galicia to be delivered to the shareholders of Lagarcué S.A. and Theseus S.A.

##### Table of Contents

Additionally, Grupo Financiero Galicia, together with Banco Galicia and the shareholders of
Lagarcué S.A. and Theseus S.A., signed a supplemental agreement governing operational issues and providing for the settlement and mutual withdrawal of any pending claims.

All documentation related to the merger of Lagarcué S.A. and Theseus S.A. into Grupo Financiero Galicia was approved at the
extraordinary shareholders meeting of Grupo Financiero Galicia held on November 21, 2013, including the exchange ratio and the above mentioned capital increase of Ps.58,857,580 through the issuance of 58,857,580 class B shares, with a
face value of Ps.1, one vote per share, entitled to participate in the profits of the financial year beginning on January 1, 2013.

On December 18, 2013, the definitive merger agreement contemplating the merger of Lagarcué S.A. and Theseus S.A. into Grupo
Galicia was registered in a public deed pursuant to the terms of paragraph 4 of article 83 of the Ley General de Sociedades(Law No. 19,550, as amended, the General Corporations Law or Corporations Law), and effective as of
September 1, 2013. Therefore, 25,454,193 class B shares of Banco Galicia, representing 4.526585 % of its capital stock previously owned by Lagarcué S.A. and Theseus and S.A. were transferred to Grupo Financiero Galicia. As a result,
Grupo Financiero Galicia owns 560,199,603 shares of Banco Galicia, representing 99.621742% of its capital stock and voting rights.

On
February 25, 2014, the Board of Directors of Grupo Financiero Galicia resolved to offer to acquire all remaining shares of Banco Galicia owned by third parties, amounting to 2,123,962 shares, at an amount of Ps.23.22 per share, which was
approved by the Comisión Nacional de Valores (the National Securities Commission, or the CNV) on April 24, 2014.

On February 27, 2014, by Resolution No. 17,300, the Board of the CNV consented to the merger of Lagarcué S.A. and Theseus S.A
into Grupo Financiero Galicia and to the above mentioned increase in capital of Grupo Financiero Galicia.

In compliance with Argentine
regulations, Grupo Financiero Galicia made all required communications and paid the amounts corresponding to the remaining shares of Banco Galicia held by third parties. On August 4, 2014, Grupo Financiero Galicia became the owner of 100% of
the outstanding capital stock of Banco Galicia when the relevant unilateral declaration to acquire the remaining shares of Banco Galicia held by third parties recorded as a public deed pursuant to Article 95 of the Law No. 26,831 (the
Capital Markets Law, in Spanish Ley de Mercado de Capitales).

Moreover, on April 15, 2014, the Board
of Directors approved the purchase of 95% of the capital stock of Galicia Administradora de Fondos from Banco Galicia for an amount of Ps.39 million.

Banco Galicia

Banco Galicia is a
banking corporation organized as a stock corporation under Argentine law and supervised and licensed to operate as a commercial bank by the Superintendencia de Entidades Financieras y Cambiarias (Superintendency of Financial Institutions and
Exchange Bureaus or the Superintendency).

Banco Galicia was founded in September 1905 by a group of businessmen from the
Spanish community in Argentina and initiated its activities in November of that year. Two years later, in 1907, Banco Galicias stock was listed on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (BASE). Banco Galicias business and branch
network increased significantly by the late 1950s and continued expanding in the following decades, after regulatory changes allowed Banco Galicia to exercise its potential and gain a reputation for innovation, thereby achieving a leading role
within the domestic banking industry.

In the late 1950s, Banco Galicia launched the equity mutual fund FIMA Acciones and founded the
predecessor of the asset manager Galicia Administradora de Fondos. Beginning in the late 1960s Banco Galicia began to establish an international network mainly comprised of branches in New York and in the Cayman Islands, a bank in Uruguay and
several representative offices.

##### Table of Contents

In order to develop automated banking in Argentina and avoid bank disintermediation (i.e., when
consumers access information or goods directly rather than through intermediaries) in the provision of electronic information and fund transfer services, in 1985, Banco Galicia established, together with four other private- sector banks operating in
Argentina, Banelco S.A. to operate a nationwide automated teller system, which became the largest in the country. During the same year, Banco Galicia also acquired an interest in VISA Argentina S.A., and is currently one of the largest issuers of
such cards in Argentina.

During the 1990s, Banco Galicia implemented a growth and modernization strategy directed at achieving economies
of scale and increasing productivity and, therefore, heavily invested in developing new businesses, acquiring new customers, widening its product offering, developing its IT and human resources capabilities, and expanding its distribution capacity.
This was comprised of traditional channels (branches) and, especially, alternative channels, including new types of branches (e.g., in-store), ATMs, banking centers, phone banking and internet banking.

As part of its growth strategy, in 1995 Banco Galicia began a new expansion phase into the Interior of Argentina where high growth
potential was believed to exist. Typically the Interior is underserved relative to Buenos Aires and its surroundings with respect to access to financial services, and its population tends to use fewer banking services. Between 1995 and 1999,
Banco Galicia acquired equity interests in entities and formed several non-banking companies providing financial services to individuals in the Interior through the issuance of proprietary brand credit cards. See -Regional Credit Card
Companies below. In addition, in 1997, Banco Galicia acquired a regional bank that was merged into it, with branches located mainly in Santa Fe and Córdoba, two of the wealthiest and most populous provinces.

In order to fund its strategy, during the 1990s, Banco Galicia tapped the international capital markets for both equity and debt. In June
1993, Banco Galicia carried out its initial international public offering in the United States and Europe and, as a result, listed its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) on the Nasdaq Stock Market until 2000, when Banco Galicias
shares were exchanged for our shares. In 1991, it was the first Argentine bank to issue debt in the European capital markets and, in 1994, it was the first Latin American issuer of a convertible bond. In 1996, Banco Galicia raised equity again
through a local and international public offering.

In 1996, Banco Galicia entered the bank insurance business through an agreement with
ITT Hartford Life Insurance Co. for the joint development of initiatives in the life insurance business. In the same year, Banco Galicia initiated its internet presence, which evolved into a full e-banking service for both companies and individuals.

At the end of 2000, Banco Galicia was the largest private-sector bank in the Argentine market with a 9.8% deposit market share.

In 2001 and 2002, Argentina experienced a severe political and financial crisis, which had a material adverse effect on the financial system
and on financial businesses as a whole, including Banco Galicia, but especially on financial intermediation activity. However, during the crisis, the provision of transactional banking services was maintained. With the normalization of the Argentine
economys situation and the subsequent growth cycle that began in mid-2002, financial activities began to expand at high rates, which translated into high growth for the financial system as a whole, including Banco Galicia. The provision of
services continued to develop, even further than prior to the crisis, and financial intermediation resumed progressively.

Beginning in
May 2002, Banco Galicia began to implement a series of initiatives to deal with the liquidity shortage caused by the systemic deposit run, the unavailability of funding and other adverse effects of the 2001-2002 financial crisis. Banco Galicia
significantly streamlined its operations and reduced its administrative expenses and, immediately after launching such initiatives, restored its liquidity. Also, in late 2002 and early 2003, Banco Galicia closed all of its operating units abroad or
began to wind them down. In addition, Banco Galicia: (i) restructured most of its commercial loan portfolio, a process that was substantially completed in 2005, (ii) restructured its foreign debt, a process that began in 2002 and that was
completed in May 2004, and resulted in an increase in its capitalization, and (iii) in February 2004, finalized the restructuring of its debt with the Argentine Central Bank incurred as a consequence of the 2001-2002 financial crisis.

Together with the launching of the above-mentioned initiatives, Banco Galicia began to normalize its activities, progressively restoring its
customer relations and growing its business with the private sector. In 2007, Banco Galicia finalized the full repayment of its debt with the Argentine Central Bank incurred as a consequence of the 2001-2002 financial crisis. In addition, in August
2007, Banco Galicia repaid in full the notes that it had issued

the Banks shareholders, through an extraordinary shareholdersmeeting, exercised the above mentioned option and approved the merger and incorporation of Galicia Cayman into the Bank, effective on October 1, 2014. This
transaction resulted in the dissolution without liquidation of Galicia Cayman.

Banco Galicia Uruguay S.A. and Galicia (Cayman) Ltd.

In 1983, Galicia Uruguay was established as a Casa Bancaria, a license that granted an offshore status, as an alternative
service location for Banco Galicias customers. In September and October 1999, the Uruguayan governments executive branch and the Uruguayan Central Bank, respectively, approved Galicia Uruguays status as a full service domestic
bank.

Due to the effects of the 2001-2002 financial crisis on Galicia Uruguay, in early 2002, the Central Bank of Uruguay suspended its
activities and assumed control and management of Galicia Uruguay. In December 2002, Galicia Uruguay restructured its deposits into debt maturing in 2011. On June 1, 2004, Galicia Uruguays license to operate as a domestic commercial bank
was revoked by the Central Bank of Uruguay, but it retained the license from the Uruguayan governments executive branch. Control and management of Galicia Uruguay by the Central Bank of Uruguay ended on February 22, 2007. On May 15,
2009, Galicia Uruguay made available to its clients in advance US$27 million, corresponding to the remaining balance of its restructured debt, which was initially due in September 2011. Having fulfilled its obligations, Galicia Uruguays
shareholders resolved at a shareholders meeting held on June 30, 2010, to voluntarily dissolve and liquidate the company.

Furthermore, taking into consideration the financial condition and the evolution estimated in the liquidation process, shareholders decided to
reduce the companys computable capital for a value equal to US$2.1 million through the voluntary redemption of shares, which was carried out on October 18, 2010. During 2013 and 2014, shareholders decided to carry out two new voluntary
share redemptions. These redemptions were carried out for a value equal to US$2 million and US$3 million, on November 18, 2013 and September 10, 2014, respectively.

As of the date of this annual report, Galicia Uruguay is in the process of being liquidated and therefore was not engaged in any active
business. Its restructured debt (time deposits and notes) has been repaid in full.

Galicia Cayman was established in 1988 in the Cayman
Islands as another alternative service location for Banco Galicias customers. Galicia Uruguays situation adversely affected its subsidiary Galicia Cayman, which commenced voluntary liquidation and surrendered its banking license
effective as of December 31, 2002. In May 2003, Galicia Cayman together with the provisional liquidators designated by the Grand Court of the Cayman

Islands completed a debt restructuring plan and, with the authorization of such Court, presented it to all of its creditors for their consideration. The plan was approved in whole on
July 10, 2003 by the vote of 99.7% of its creditors, exceeding the legal majority required, and became effective and mandatory for all creditors. On February 2, 2006, the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands declared the plan as terminated
and ended the involvement of any third parties in the companys management beginning on February 23, 2006.

In March 2014,
Galicia Cayman shareholders approved the move of the registered office of the company from the Cayman Islands to Argentina. Galicia Cayman was incorporated in Argentina by the Provincial Registry of Corporations of the Province of Mendoza as
Galicia Cayman S.A.

In September 2014, the Bank entered into a preliminary agreement to merge Galicia Cayman into the Bank, effective as
of October 1, 2014. The Bank controlled 99.989% of the shares of Galicia Cayman and had an option to purchase the remaining 0.011%, which was owned by Cobranzas y Servicios SA. In November 2014, the Banks shareholders, through an
extraordinary shareholders meeting, exercised the above mentioned option and approved the merger and incorporation of Galicia Cayman into the Bank, effective on October 1, 2014. This transaction resulted in the dissolution without
liquidation of Galicia Cayman.

Regional Credit Card Companies

In the mid-1990s, Banco Galicia made the strategic decision to target the non-account holding individuals market, which, in
Argentina, typically includes the low and medium-low income segments of the population who live in the Interior of the country, in addition to certain parts of Greater Buenos Aires. To implement this strategic decision, in 1995 Banco Galicia
began investing in non-bank companies (the Regional Credit Card Companies) operating in certain regions of the Interior, providing financial services to individuals through the issuance of credit cards with proprietary brands and
extending credit to its customers through such cards.

In 1995, Banco Galicia made the first investment in this business by acquiring a
minority stake in Tarjeta Naranja S.A. (Tarjeta Naranja) and in 1997 increased its ownership to 80%. This company had begun operations in 1985 in the city of Córdoba, where it marketed Tarjeta Naranja, its proprietary
brand credit card, and had enjoyed local growth.

In 1996, Banco Galicia formed Tarjetas Cuyanas S.A. (Tarjetas Cuyanas), to
operate in the Cuyo Region (the provinces of Mendoza, San Juan and San Luis) in partnership with local businessmen. This company launched the Nevada Card in May 1996 in the city of Mendoza. Also in 1996, Banco Galicia formed a new
company, Tarjetas del Mar, to operate in the city of Mar del Plata and its area of influence. Tarjetas del Mar began marketing the Mira card in March 1997.

In early 1997, Banco Galicia purchased an interest in Comfiar S.A., a consumer finance company operating in the provinces of Santa Fe and
Entre Ríos, which was merged into Tarjeta Naranja in January 2004.

In 1999, Banco Galicia reorganized its participation in this
business through Tarjetas Regionales, a holding company wholly owned by Banco Galicia and Galicia Cayman, which owns the shares of Tarjeta Naranja, Comfiar S.A., Tarjetas Cuyanas, and Tarjetas del Mar. In addition, between 1999 and 2000, Tarjetas
Regionales acquired Tarjetas del Sur S.A., a credit card company operating in southern Argentina. In March 2001, Tarjetas del Sur S.A. merged into Tarjeta Naranja.

During 2012, the ownership interests in Tarjetas Regionales and its operating subsidiaries were modified due to the following events:



| |  |  | Tarjeta Naranjas board of directors approved the merger of Tarjeta Mira S.A. (merged company) into Tarjeta Naranja (merging company).
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Tarjetas Regionales carried out a capital increase that was mainly paid by the contribution of the minority shareholders holdings in its subsidiaries Tarjeta Naranja and Tarjetas Cuyanas. Therefore, Banco
Galicias direct and indirect interest decreased to 77% of the capital stock and the remaining 23% is held by the shareholders who, by means of the above-mentioned contribution, became Tarjetas Regionales minority shareholders.

During May 2014, an extraordinary shareholders meeting of Tarjetas del Mar approved a
capital increase of Ps.32 million, which was fully subscribed for by Sociedad Anónima Importadora y Exportadora de la Patagonia. As a consequence, the Bank currently holds a 58.8% equity interest in Tarjetas del Mar, while CFA holds a 1.2%
equity interest and Sociedad Anónima Importadora y Exportadora de la Patagonia holds the remaining 40%.

As of December 31,
2015, Banco Galicia held 77% of Tarjetas Regionales. In turn, Tarjetas Regionales directly and indirectly held 100% of Tarjeta Naranja and 100% of Tarjetas Cuyanas.

These companies have experienced a significant expansion of their customer bases, in absolute terms and with respect to the range of customers
served, number of cards issued, distribution networks and size of operations, as well as a technological upgrade and general modernization. By mid 1995, Tarjeta Naranja had approximately 200,000 cards outstanding. As of December 31, 2014, the
Regional Credit Card Companies, on a consolidated basis, had approximately 9.5 million issued cards and were the largest proprietary brand credit card operation in Argentina.

In terms of funding, the Regional Credit Card Companies have historically used one or more of the following third party sources of financing:
merchants, bond issuances, bank loans and other credit lines, financial leases and securitizations using financial trust vehicles. This diversification has allowed the Regional Credit Card Companies to maintain and expand their business without
depending excessively on one single source or provider.

The business operations of the Regional Credit Card Companies are exposed to
foreign exchange rate fluctuations and interest rate fluctuations; however, they mitigate the foreign exchange rate risk in respect of their business and operation through hedging transactions and try to offset their interest rate exposure with
assets that bear interest at similar floating rates. In addition, the Regional Credit Card Companies have an overall liquidity policy requiring them to maintain sufficient liquidity to cover at least three months of future operations and to
formulate a cash flow projection for each upcoming year. These internal policies and practices ensure adequate working capital through which the Regional Credit Card Companies protect their operations against short-term cash shortages, allowing them
to focus on expanding their business and continuously better serving their clients.

In addition, Tarjeta Naranja has exported its
business model to the Dominican Republic, where it commenced operations in 2007 through a joint venture with Grupo León, and to Peru, where it commenced operations in 2011 through a joint venture with Banco de Crédito del Perú.
As of the end of the second quarter of 2012, Tarjeta Naranja Dominicana S.A.s shareholders decided to sell to Banco Múltiple León S.A. (holder of the remaining 50% interest in Tarjeta Naranja Dominicana S.A.s capital stock)
Tarjeta Naranja Dominicana S.A.s rights related to customers and to start the liquidation of the company. Later, on October 14, 2014, Tarjeta Naranja entered into the final agreement to transfer its interest in Tarjeta Naranja Perú
(a joint venture, equivalent to 24% of the capital stock of such company, to Grupo Crédito S.A. for US$900,000. As of the date of this annual report, the shares have been transferred.

The Argentine
Central Bank, through its Resolution No. 85 dated February 7, 1996, registered CFAs change of denomination to Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and authorized it to operate as a financial company under the
Financial Institutions Law, thus allowing CFA to initiate its activities on February 27, 1996.

Services provided to the non-financial public sector include e-collection and payment solutions to various agencies, municipalities and
universities, with technology-based, value-added solutions that facilitate and enhance daily operations according to transactional needs.

increased number of transactions and increasing the number and/or volume of transactional deposits all without neglecting the provision of advisory services to customers in order to attract additional time deposits.

Moreover, new non-traditional businesses continued being generated, such as the exchange of physical money of low denomination throughout the
country for electronic money.

The Retail Banking Division manages Banco Galicias business with individuals from all income brackets, micro and smaller businesses
(i.e., those businesses with annual revenues below Ps.70 million) and small retailers and professionals. Retail Banking provides a wide range of financial products and services, encompassing transactions, loans, and investments. On the transactions

this segment. The most important business achievements were the 11% increase in its customer base, the 16% increase in payroll accounts and, at a credit level, the placement of the Credit Line for Productive Investment for over Ps.1,540 million in
the Business and PyMEs segment.

The leadership of the Visa Business card is also evidenced in the consumption market share, as per the
information furnished by Visa.

In turn, the Galicia Éminent service, a service aimed at the high-income customer segment,
showed an interannual growth of 16%. In a highly competitive environment, as a result of the attractiveness of the segment, Galicia Éminent managed to be ranked first, based on studies conducted by private consulting firms in terms of
service, and maintained its leadership position in premium credit card consumption throughout the year, as per the information furnished by Visa, American Express and Mastercard.

Also, as a way to continue improving its customers experience, it began remotely serving customers who value a remote service, as well
as rewarding them for recommending Banco Galicia to their group of friends. These achievements permited Galicia Éminent to continue being the financial service best remembered and valued among the segments clientele.

The Move service, an offering for the young people segment, began being marketed during 2014, seeking to attract many new
customers at a low cost while also positioning the Bank as a leader in this new segment.

The Bank worked mainly on the acquisition of new
customers in the young people segment, not only through the university channel, but also on the online channel. The latter represents 25% of the total additions of Move. In this regard, the use of platforms, such as Facebook, Google, YouTube and
Whatsapp, was increased in the customer relation and relationship processes, consolidating the concept of bank without branches, 100% online as a differentiating brand attribute. The Bank currently has over 100,000 Move customers and is
present at 17 universities.

Furthermore, the Bank worked on improving its efficiency by reviewing the profitability of channels and
moving transactions between channels, always taking into account the customers preferences or habits.

The Private Banking Division
offers professional financial services to individuals with medium- to high- net worth, through the management of their investments and the provision of financial advisory services. Private Banking offers its customers a wide range of domestic
financial investment alternatives, such as deposits, FIMA mutual funds, government and corporate securities, as well as trusts and notes where Banco Galicia acts as an arranger.

One of the Private Banking premises, in line with the Banks strategy to differentiate itself from competitors through service quality,
is the preferential treatment of its customers. In this regard, the service has a wide network of highly-trained officers, an investment center that operates from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and exclusive spaces for service.

million were financed from its beginning in September 2014 to year-end 2015.

Regarding customers rewards for their relation with
the Bank and the use of bank products, customers can take advantage of several benefits through the Quiero! Fidelity Program and plan trips through the QuieroViajes program.

In 2015 the Quiero! Fidelity Program continued to grow and position itself as a value proposition for customers. Through the years, the Bank
has managed to make its investment in benefits more efficient by allocating resources to customers from high priority segments based on income recorded, achieving a lower impact on the Banks income statement by both increasing the
customers usage of the card and by increasing the number of cardholders.

Banco Galicias extensive network of branches is one
of the key components of its distribution network, and one of its most important competitive advantages. Banco Galicias distribution network is supported by its intranet, information technology systems, customer incentives offered in
connection therewith and the constant monitoring of its customer service quality.

Competition

Due to our financial holding structure, competition is experienced at the level of our operating subsidiaries. We face strong competition in
most of the areas in which our subsidiaries are active. For a breakdown of our total revenues, for each of the past three fiscal years, for the activities discussed below (i.e., banking, regional credit cards, CFA personal loans and insurance), see
Item 5.A. Operating Results-Results by Segments.

Banking

Banco Galicia faces significant competition in all of its principal areas of operation from foreign banks operating in Argentina (mainly large
retail banks which are subsidiaries or branches of banks with global operations), Argentine national and provincial government-owned banks, private-sector domestic banks and cooperative banks, as well as non-bank financial institutions.

With respect to private-sector customers, Banco Galicias main competitors are large foreign banks and certain domestically-owned
private-sector banks. Banco Galicia also faces competition from government-owned banks.

Banco Galicias estimated market share of
private-sector deposits in the Argentine financial system was 9.41% as of December 31, 2015, as compared to 8.79% as of December 31, 2014 and 9.20% as of December 31, 2013.

With respect to loans to the private sector, Banco Galicias Argentine market share was 9.60% as of December 31, 2015, as compared
to 8.76% and 8.78% as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

According to the information published by the
Argentine Central Bank, as of December 31, 2015, Banco Galicia was the second largest private-sector bank as measured by its assets, its deposits and its loan portfolio and ranked third in terms of net worth.

Banco Galicia believes that it has a strong competitive position in retail banking, both with respect to individuals and small and
medium-sized companies. Specifically, Banco Galicia believes it is one of the primary providers of financial services to individuals, the primary private-sector institution serving the small and medium-sized companies sector, and has traditionally
maintained a leading position in the agriculture and livestock sector.

Argentine Banking System

As of December 31, 2015, the Argentine financial system consisted of 78 financial institutions, of which 62 were banks and 16 were
financial non-bank institutions (including finance companies, credit unions and savings and loans associations). Of the 62 banks, 13 were Argentine national and provincial government-owned or related banks. Of the 49 private-sector banks, 32 were
private-sector domestically-owned banks and 17 were foreign-owned banks (i.e., local branches or subsidiaries of foreign banks).

As of
December 31, 2014, the Argentine financial system consisted of 81 financial institutions, of which 65 were banks and 16 were financial non-bank institutions (including finance companies, credit unions and savings and loans associations). Of the
65 banks, 12 were Argentine national and provincial government-owned or related banks. Of the 53 private-sector banks, 33 were private-sector domestically-owned banks and 20 were foreign-owned banks (i.e., local branches or subsidiaries of foreign
banks).

As of December 31, 2015, the top 10 banks, in terms of total deposits (excluding Argentine national and provincial
government-owned banks), were: Banco Santander Río, Banco Galicia, BBVA Banco Francés, Banco Macro, Credicoop, HSBC Bank and Patagonia. Banco Galicia, Banco Macro and Credicoop are domestically-owned banks and the others are
foreign-owned banks. According to information published by the Argentine Central Bank as of December 31, 2015, private-sector banks accounted for 54.9% of total deposits and 61.3% of total net loans in the Argentine financial system. As of the
same date, financial institutions (other than banks) accounted for approximately 0.2% of deposits and 2.1% of net loans in the Argentine financial system.

##### Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2015, the largest Argentine national and provincial government-owned or
related banks, in terms of total deposits, were Banco Nación and Banco de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Under the provisions the Financial Institutions Law, public-sector banks have comparable rights and obligations to private banks,
except that public-sector banks are usually chosen as depositaries for public-sector revenues and promote regional development and certain public-sector banks have preferential tax treatment. The bylaws of some public-sector banks provide that the
governments that own them (both national and provincial governments) must guarantee their commitments. According to information published by the Argentine Central Bank, as of December 31, 2015, government-owned banks and banks in which the
national, provincial and municipal governments had an ownership interest accounted for 44.9% of deposits and 36.5% of loans in the Argentine financial system.

Consolidation has been a dominant theme in the Argentine banking sector since the 1990s, with the total number of financial institutions
declining from 214 in 1991 to 78 as of December 31, 2015, with the ten largest banks holding 76% of the systems deposits from the private sector and 71% of the systems loans to the private sector as of December 31, 2015.

Foreign banks continue to have a significant presence in Argentina, despite the fact that the number of these financial institutions decreased
from 39 at the end of 2001 to 17 as of December 2015, and the fact that their share of total deposits has decreased since the 2001-2002 financial crisis while the share of domestic private-sector banks has increased.

Starting in fiscal year 2013, the Argentine Central Bank took a more active role in the management of financial institutionss business,
by means of the establishment of guidelines for granting credit through the Credit Line for Productive Investment (established to finance investment projects and working capital for specific purposes and having certain characteristics),
as well as the creation of the requirement to obtain an authorization to increase fees.

In March 2016, the Argentine Central Bank,
through its Communication A 5928, authorized an aggregate increase, between January 2016 and September 2016, of up to 20% on fees charged by the retail segment, as long as these increases are notified at least 60 calendar days prior to
their effectiveness. In addition, beginning on September 1, 2016, banks can freely increase fees.

Regional Credit Cards

In the consumer loan market, the Regional Credit Card Companies compete with Argentine banks and other financial institutions that target
similar economic segments. The main players in this segment include Banco Supervielle, Banco Columbia, Banco Comafi, Banco Credicoop, Banco MasVentas, Banco Municipal de Rosario, Banco Nación (Nativa card), Banco de Córdoba (Cordobesa
card), Cabal card, tarjeta shopping card and CFA (Efectivo Si). Historically, certain international banks with presence in Argentina have attempted to target consumers in these economic segments and have been, to date and for the most part,
unsuccessful.

In order to compete effectively at a national and regional level, the Regional Credit Card Companies target low- to
middle-income clients by offering personalized services in each region, focusing their commercial efforts mainly on medium- and low-income segments. While other Argentine credit card issuers and consumer loan providers focus on earning interest on
outstanding personal loans and credit card balances, they also focus on and have access to additional sources of revenues including merchant fees and commissions, which allow them to offer competitive pricing and financing terms. Furthermore, unlike
other credit card issuers in Argentina, approximately 60% of their clients pay their credit card bill through their branch network. The broad geographical reach of their distribution network, which is the second largest in Argentina, has allowed the
Regional Credit Card Companies to establish a local presence in all the provinces of Argentina.

The Regional Credit Card Companies
believe that their diversified and consistent funding sources, significant network of branches, robust information technology infrastructure, relationships with over 250,000 merchants and the brand recognition they enjoy provide them with a
competitive edge to consolidate and expand their market share in their target market segment, making it difficult for new players to effectively compete in this market segment on a national scale.

Compañía Financiera Argentina

CFA markets all of its financial products mainly to medium- and low-income segments. CFAs main competitors are: Banco Cetelem, Banco
Columbia, Banco de Servicios y Transacciones, Cooperativa la Capital del Plata, Caja de Crédito Cuenca, Banco de Servicios Financieros, Banco Supervielle and Banco Sáenz (Frávega Group).

CFA also faces competition from certain entities which render non-regulated services, or small chains, located in less populated cities. Some
big chains of retailers also offer their own financing, such as Garbarino, Frávega, Megatone and Riveiro, financed through the issuance of financial trusts.

Insurance

Sudamericanas
subsidiaries face significant competition since, as of December 2015, the Argentine insurance industry was comprised of approximately 184 insurance companies, 16 of which were dedicated exclusively to annuities. Subsidiaries of foreign insurance
companies and the worlds largest insurance companies with global operations are among these companies.

During 2015, the insurance
industry continued growing. Production amounted to Ps.153 billion, 41% higher than the level recorded for the period before.

Out of the
total insurance production, 81% relates to property insurance, 17% relates to life and personal insurance, and 2% relates to retirement insurance.

Within the 81% corresponding to property insurance, the automotive insurance segment continues to be the most significant segment,
representing 44%, followed by the workers compensation segment, representing 35%.

Within the life insurance segment, the group life
insurance segment is the most significant, representing 68%, followed by individual life insurance, representing 14%, and personal accident insurance, representing 13%.

As of December 2015, based on internal studies undertaken by Galicia Seguros it is estimated that Galicia Seguros ranked fourth in terms of
net premiums for life insurance policies underwritten and first in terms of net premiums for home insurance policies underwritten and in terms of net premiums for theft insurance policies underwritten.

outskirts. Through Banco Galicia, we operate a nationwide distribution network, which is one of the most extensive and diversified distribution networks among private-sector financial institutions in Argentina.

During the 2012 fiscal year, Galicia Seguros invested Ps.12 million for the formation of a reinsurance company
(Nova Re Compañía Argentina de Reaseguro S.A.), controlling 39% of the capital stock and voting rights of such company.

In
October 2013, Galicia Seguros approved the sale of its 4% ownership interest in Nova Re Compañía Argentina de Reaseguro S.A. to Reaseguradora Patria S.A., a Mexican reassurance company. This transaction was finalized in January 2016
and Galicia Seguros continued to own 35% of Nova Re following the consummation of the sale.

As a result of a number of acquisitions of
shares in the market, since December 16, 2013, Grupo Financiero Galicia increased its ownership of outstanding shares in and voting rights for its subsidiary Banco Galicia to 95%, reaching a position of nearly total control according to
Argentine regulations. On December 19, 2013, Grupo Financiero Galicia announced that it had finalized the merger of Lagarcué S.A. and Theseus S.A. into Grupo Financiero Galicia, further increasing its ownership interest in Banco Galicia
by 4.5% (which was previously owned by Lagarcué S.A. and Theseus S.A). As a result of the foregoing transactions, as of the year ended December 31, 2013, Grupo Financiero Galicia controlled 99.6% of the capital stock of Banco Galicia.

On February 25, 2014, Grupo Financiero Galicia resolved to issue an offer to acquire the 2,123,962 shares of Banco Galicia owned by
third parties at a price of Ps.23.22 per share. On April 24, 2014, said transaction was approved by the CNV and on July 14, 2014, it was incorporated by the Argentine Superintendency of Corporations. On August 4, 2014, the above
approval in respect of such acquisition was made part of the public record, and, as a consequence of this acquisition, Grupo Financiero Galicia currently owns 100% of the shares of the Bank.

On April 15, 2014, Banco Galicia sold its interest in Galicia Administradora de Fondos to Grupo Financiero Galicia, for Ps.39 million.

During May 2014, the shareholders of Tarjetas del Mar approved a capital increase of Ps.32 million, which was fully subscribed for by
Sociedad Anónima Importadora y Exportadora de la Patagonia. As a result, the Bank has a 58.8% equity interest in Tarjetas del Mar, while CFA holds a 1.2% and Sociedad Anónima Importadora y Exportadora de la Patagonia holds the

Selected Statistical Information

You should read this information in conjunction with the other information provided in this annual report, including our audited consolidated
financial statements and Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects. We prepared this information from our financial records, which are maintained under accounting methods established by the Argentine Central Bank under
Argentine Banking GAAP, and do not reflect adjustments necessary to reflect the information in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The exchange
rate used in translating Pesos into Dollars, which is used in calculating the convenience translations included in the following tables is the Reference Exchange Rate published by the Argentine Central Bank, which was Ps.13.0050, Ps.8.5520 and
Ps.6.5180 per US$1.00 as of December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The exchange rate translations contained in this annual report should not be construed as representations that the stated Peso
amounts actually represent or have been or could be converted into Dollars at the rates indicated or any other rate. See Item 3. Key Information-Exchange Rate Information.

Average Balance Sheet and Income from Interest-Earning Assets and Expenses from Interest-Bearing Liabilities

The average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, including the related interest that is receivable and
payable, are calculated on a daily basis for Banco Galicia, Galicia Uruguay, Tarjetas Regionales and CFA on a consolidated basis. The average balances of interest-earning assets and interest bearing liabilities are calculated on a monthly basis for
Grupo Financiero Galicia and its other non-banking subsidiaries.

Average balances have been separated between those denominated in Pesos
and those denominated in Dollars. The average yield/rate is the amount of interest earned or paid during the period divided by the related average balance.

Net gains/losses on government securities and related differences in quoted market prices are included in interest earned. We manage our
trading activities in government securities as an integral part of our business. We do not distinguish between interest income and market gains or losses on our government securities portfolio. The non-accrual loans balance is included in the
average loan balance calculation.

Changes in Net Interest Income-Volume
and Rate Analysis

The following table allocates, by currency of the underlying asset or liability, changes in our consolidated
interest income and interest expenses between changes in the average volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and changes in their respective average yield/rate for (i) the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015
compared with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014; and (ii) the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, compared with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Differences related to both rate and volume are allocated
proportionally to the rate variance and the volume variance, respectively.

The increase of Ps.5,685
million in interest income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the previous year, can be explained by the Ps.6,159 million increase from the increase in the volume of interest-earning assets, which increase was partially
offset by a decrease of Ps.474 million in interest income due to a decrease in interest rates.

In particular, Ps.5,490 million of the
increase was due to an increase in interest income from Peso-denominated assets. This increase was due to an increase in volume, mainly as a result of the increase in Peso-denominated loans to the private sector (representing 81.8% of the increase).
The average volume of private sector for Peso-denominated loans amounted to Ps.74,081 million for fiscal year 2015, as compared to Ps.55,704 million for the previous fiscal year. This increase was partially offset by Ps.550 million decrease in
interest income from Peso-denominated assets, which was due to a decrease in interest rates earned from Peso-denominated assets due to a 162 basis points (b.p.) decrease in the average interest rate for loans to the private sector, from
28.85% to 27.23%. The Ps.1,664 million increase in interest from government securities was due to an increase in volume equal to Ps.1,226 million and an increase in interest rates (accounting for Ps.438 million), mainly as a consequence of the
higher average rate accrued on Lebac, and on provincial treasury bills and debt securities.

In terms of interest expenses, the Ps.2,388
million increase for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to 2014, is primarily a result of an increase in the volume of time deposits denominated in Pesos (which increased from Ps.28,418 million in 2014 to Ps.36,198 million in
2015), together with a 48 b.p. increase in the interest rate payable on time deposits, which increased from 23.07% to 23.55%. In terms of volume, time deposits represented 92.3% of the net change in respect of time deposits in 2015, an increase as
compared to 47.3% in 2014, while the interest rate payable on time deposits represented only 7.7% of the net change in respect of time deposits as of the end of fiscal year 2015, as compared to the 52.7% as of the end of fiscal year 2014. The higher
amount of notes outstanding was in line with the trajectory of interest bearing liabilities, Ps.336 million in terms of volume, primarily attributable to the issuances of notes by Tarjeta Naranja, Tarjetas Cuyanas, CFA and Grupo Financiero Galicia.
Such issuances were partially offset by the amortization of certain outstanding notes and to downward trend in the exchange rate during such period. In terms of interest rates, a Ps.25 million increase in the interest payable on the notes was
recorded.

As of December 31, 2015, the increase in our holdings of Argentine government securities denominated in
Pesos was mainly due to our holdings recorded at cost plus yield of debt securities issued by the provinces of Buenos Aires, Neuquén and Entre Rios, among others, for Ps.1,313 millions and our holdings recorded at fair value of Bonac 2016
bonds for Ps.609 millions.

Regarding our holdings of government securities denominated in dollars as of December 31, 2015, the
increase was attributable to our holdings of Lebac unquoted for Ps.4,835 million.

In 2014 the increase in our holdings of Argentine
government securities denominated in Pesos was attributable to an increase in our holdings of Lebac and Nobac for Ps.7,247 million. The portfolio of government securities denominated in Pesos for securities recorded at fair value reflects Grupo
Financiero Galicias holdings of bonds issued by the Argentine government due in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019 for Ps.75 million, Ps.374 million, Ps.798 million and Ps.190 million, respectively.

Regarding our holdings of government securities denominated in dollars as of December 31, 2014, the increase in securities recorded at
fair value includes debt securities of the provinces of Neuquén, Chubut, Buenos Aires and Mendoza, among others. The lower position in securities recorded at cost plus yield in dollars was primarily due to the decrease in securities of the
provinces of Neuquén and Chubut.

In 2013 we increased our holdings of Argentine government securities denominated in Dollars,
securities recorded at cost plus yield and securities recorded at fair value.

All government securities, except for the Lebac and Nobac,
which are issued by the Argentine Central Bank, were issued by the Argentine government.

Government Securities - Net Position

The following table shows our net position in government and corporate securities at the balance sheet date, and the breakdown of the portfolio
in accordance with the Argentine Central Bank classification system and by the securities currency of denomination. The net position is defined as holdings plus forward purchases and spot purchases pending settlement, minus forward sales and
spot sales pending settlement.

Credit Review Process

Credit risk
is the potential for financial loss resulting from the failure of a borrower to honor its financial contractual obligations. Our credit risk arises mainly from Banco Galicias, the Regional Credit Card Companies and CFAs lending
activities, and from the fact that, in the normal course of business, these subsidiaries are parties to certain transactions with off-balance sheet treatment and associated risk, mainly commitments to extend credit and guarantees granted. See also
Item 5.A. Operating Results-Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

Our credit approval and credit risk analysis is a
centralized process based on the concept of opposition of interests. This is achieved through the existing division among the risk management, the credit and the origination functions both in retail and wholesale businesses, thus
enabling us to achieve an ongoing and efficient control of asset quality, a proactive management of loans with problems, aggressive charge-offs of uncollectible loans, and adequate loan loss provisioning. Apart from that, it includes the follow-up
of the models for measuring the portfolio risk at the operation and customer levels, facilitating the detection of loans with problems and the losses associated thereto, what in turn allows the early detection of situations that could entail some
degree of portfolio deterioration and provides appropriate protection of our assets.

Banco Galicia

The Risk Management Division manages the Banks risks in a comprehensive manner and follows international best practices. It is
independent from other divisions as it reports directly to the Banks General Division. This structure reflects the high level of commitment from each of the Banks governance bodies to risk management. It also strengthens the independence
of management while still keeping management involved in business decisions and focused on managing the risk profile of the Bank by providing them with state-of-the-art tools and systems for identifying, measuring, monitoring and mitigating the
risks faced by the Bank.

The mission of the Risk Management Division is comprised of the following activities: (i) actively and
comprehensively managing and monitoring the risks assumed by Banco Galicia and its subsidiaries to ensure compliance with the internal policies and regulations in force; (ii) keeping the board of directors of Banco Galicia informed with respect
to the risks Banco Galicia faces and proposing how to deal with such risks; (iii) strengthening risk management and fully understanding the risks undertaken by providing a global view of the business; (iv) designing policies and procedures
to mitigate and control risks; (v) quantifying the capital required by each business and recommending to the General Division the appropriate allocation and profitability of each risk undertaken; and (vi) facilitating communication
regarding dispensations from risk internal policies to Banco Galicias General Division, as appropriate, together with a compliance plan.

The Risk Management Divisions responsibilities include: (i) ensuring contingency plans are in place for risks posing a threat to
business continuity; (ii) recommending the most suitable methodologies for Banco Galicia to measure identified risks; (iii) guaranteeing that the launching of any new product includes a previous assessment of potential risks involved; and
(iv) providing technical support and assisting management with global risk management.

The Risk Management Division handles
financial, operational, credit, reputational and strategic risks.

During fiscal year 2014 Banco Galicia created the Compliance Division,
which reports to the board of directors of Banco Galicia, responsible for monitoring the Banks compliance with laws, regulations and internal policies, in order to prevent economic or penal sanctions and to reduce any reputational impact. It
is an independent division that coordinates and assists with the identification, advice, monitoring, reporting and early warning of risks of compliance.

The Prevention and Control of Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorist Activities Division reports to the board of directors of Banco Galicia
and is responsible for preventing the execution of financial transactions with funds of criminal origin, and the use of the Bank as a vehicle for money laundering and terrorist financing

Banco Galicia is in compliance with the regulations set forth by Law No. 25,246, as amended, resolution 121/2011, as amended, which was
issued by the Financial Information Unit (the UIF) and with Communication A 5218 as amended and supplemented and which was issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

Banco Galicia has policies, procedures and control structures in place related to the features of the various products offered, which assist
in monitoring transactions in order to identify unusual or suspicious transactions and reporting such transactions to the UIF. The Anti-Money Laundering Unit is responsible for managing such risk, through the implementation of control and prevention
procedures, as well as through communication thereof to the rest of the organization via employee training and incorporation of such risk into handbooks.

Banco Galicia has appointed a director to be responsible for the management of such risk, and has created a committee in charge of planning,
coordinating and enforcing compliance with the policies set by the board of directors of Banco Galicia. Such regulations are based on Banco Galicias know your customer policy, which is implemented and enforced worldwide. The
internal and external auditors regularly review management of such risk.

The Credit Divisions mission is to assure the quality of
the Banks loan portfolio by monitoring the origination of businesses and the optimization of loan recovery in accordance with best practices standards.

##### Table of Contents

This division performs the following functions: credit granting, preventative management,
tracking down and classification of customers and recovery of past-due loans.

In order to obtain timely information and to provide a
flexible and efficient structure that assists in responding and adjusting to the then current macro and microeconomic variables, the above-mentioned functions, both for companies and for individuals, are under the direction of divisions and
departments that report directly to the Credit Division.

The Credit Division has specific departments for complex businesses which
include banks, capital market and agri-business, and specific departments for the review and analysis of sectors based on their type of activity and environmental risk.

The analysis and granting in relation to the retail portfolio is made on a centralized basis by the Individuals Credit Approval Division.

Applications for these products, such as credit cards, checking account overdrafts and secured or unsecured personal loans, are automatically
assessed through credit scoring systems that take into account different criteria to determine the customers credit background and repayment capacity, as well as through granting guidelines based on the customers credit history within
the financial system (which is verified against the information provided by a company that furnishes credit information) or with Banco Galicia (credit screening).

Credit approval for the corporate loan portfolio is carried out through two specialized teams: The Corporate Credit Approval Division,
responsible for credit granting and the Credit Analysis Division, responsible for the analysis of large amount transactions.

Before
approving a loan, Banco Galicia performs an assessment of the potential borrower and his/her financial condition. Approvals of loans exceeding a certain threshold amount are analyzed based on the credit line and the customer. For loans below such
amount, Banco Galicia uses automated risk assessment systems that provide financial and non-financial information on the borrower and that provide projections based on the financial statements of the borrower and generate automatic warnings about
situations that may indicate an increase in the risk.

Banco Galicia performs its risk assessment based on the following factors:



|                            |  |                                                                                                                                               
|--------------------------- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Qualitative Analysis        |  | Assessment of the corporate borrowers creditworthiness performed by the officer in charge of the account based on personal knowledge.        
|Economic and Financial Risk |  | Quantitative analysis of the borrowers balance sheet amounts.                                                                                
|Economic Risk of the Sector |  | Measurement of the general risk of the financial sector where the borrower operates (based on statistical information, internal and external).
|Environmental Risk          |  | Environmental impact analysis (required for all investment projects of significant amounts).                                                  

Loans are generally approved by the Divisions of Corporate Credit Approval and of Credit Analysis pursuant to
set authorization levels. However, loans exceeding a certain amount and loans granted to (domestic or foreign) financial institutions and to related customers are approved by the Credit Committee.

The Customer Credit Recovery Division is responsible for reducing the deterioration of the credit quality of the portfolio under management
and also for working with customers on their credit quality for their re-eligibility for loans. It is also responsible for the preventive management of the Banks portfolio by using strategic behavior models that help anticipate non-performing
credit customers.

The Portfolio Recovery Division covers the court and out-of-court proceedings of customers within the individuals and
companies portfolio. Additionally, the division advises on legal aspects to the Credit Division.

##### Table of Contents

The Planning Department is responsible for the strategic vision of the area, defining efficiency
ratios and action plans, proposing alternatives which contribute to ongoing improvement and ensuring the compliance of the established objectives.

It is also responsible for ensuring regulatory compliance in acordance with the regulations passed by the applicable authorities, and for
reviewing and proposing changes to Banco Galicias internal policies, with respect to both credit granting and recovery of past-due loans. This department consistently interfaces with the Risk Management Division.

Regional Credit Card Companies

Each of
the Regional Credit Card Companies maintains its own credit products and limits; however, their credit approval and credit risk analysis procedures are basically the same. Assessment of the credit risk of each customer is based on certain required
information, provided by the customer, and verified by the companies, as well as on information on customers credit records obtained from credit bureaus and other entities. Once the information is verified, the credit card is issued. There are
certain requirements such as age, minimum levels of income (depending on the type of customer, i.e. employee, self-employed, etc.) and domicile area that must be fulfilled in order to qualify for a credit card. Credit limits are defined based on
customers income. Credit limits may be raised for a particular customer, either at the customers request or based on the customers past payment profile, at the companies discretion or for all customers, due to, among other
factors, macroeconomic conditions such as inflation, salary trends or interest rates.

Credit risk assessment, credit approval (the
extension of a credit card and the assignment of a limit) and classification (in accordance with the current loan classification criteria defined by the Argentine Central Bank regulations) of the loan portfolio are managed by each company on a
centralized basis by a unit that is separate from the sales units. The credit process is described in manuals and Tarjeta Naranja, the largest regional credit card company, has certified all of its processes under the ISO 9001/2000 standard. Credit
limits and policies are defined by the board of directors of each regional credit card company.

With regards to recovery of past due
loans, the Regional Credit Card Companies and Cobranzas Regionales, a subsidiary of Tarjetas Regionales, manage the early stages of delinquency through their branch personnel and use different types of contact with customers (letters, phone calls,
etc.). After 100 days, recovery is turned over to collection agencies that manage out of court proceedings, and if the loan is not recovered, court proceedings could be initiated by other specialized agencies. Cobranzas Regionales supervises the
whole process of recovery, including recovery procedures of such collection agencies.

Compañía Financiera Argentina

CFA maintains its own credit products and limits. Assessment of the credit risk of each customer is based on certain required information,
provided by the customer, and verified by the company, as well as on information on customers credit records obtained from credit bureaus and other entities.

Credit risk assessment, credit approval and classification (in accordance with the current loan classification criteria defined by the
Argentine Central Bank regulations) of the loan portfolio are managed by the company on a centralized basis by a unit that is separate from the sales units.

Main Argentine Central Banks Rules on Loan Classification and Loan Loss Provisions

General

Regardless of the internal
policies and procedures designed to minimize risks undertaken, Banco Galicia complies with the Argentine Central Bank regulations.

In
1994, the Argentine Central Bank introduced the current loan classification system and the corresponding minimum loan-loss provision requirements applicable to loans and other types of credit (together referred to as loans in this
section) to private sector borrowers.

##### Table of Contents

The current loan classification system applies certain criteria to classify loans in a
banks consumer portfolio, and another set of criteria to classify loans in its commercial portfolio. The classification system is independent of the currency in which the loan is denominated.

The loan classification criteria applied to loans in the consumer portfolio is based on objective guidelines related to the borrowers
degree of fulfillment of its obligations or its legal status, the information provided by the Financial Systems Debtors System-whenever debtors reflect lower quality levels than the rating assigned by the Bank-, by the Non-Performing
Debtors database from former financial institutions and the status resulting from the enforcement of the refinance guidelines. In the event of any disagreement, the guidelines indicating the greater risk level of loan losses should be
considered.

For the purposes of the Argentine Central Banks regulations, consumer loans are defined as mortgage loans, pledge
loans, credit card loans and other types of loans in installments granted to individuals. All other loans are considered commercial loans. In addition, in accordance with an option set forth in these regulations, Banco Galicia prospectively applies
the consumer portfolio classification criteria to commercial loans of up to Ps.2.5 million. This classification is based on the level of fulfillment and the situation thereof.

The main classification criterion for loans in the commercial portfolio is each borrowers ability to pay, mainly in terms of such
borrowers future cash flows. If a customer has both commercial and consumer loans, all these loans will be considered as a whole to determine eligibility for classification in the corresponding portfolio. Loans backed with preferred guarantees
will be considered at 50% of their face value.

By applying the Argentine Central Banks classification to commercial loans, banks
must assess the following factors: the current and projected financial situation of the borrower, the customers exposure to currency risk, the customers managerial and operating background, the borrowers ability to provide accurate
and timely financial information, as well as the overall risk of the sector in which the borrower operates and the borrowers relative position within that sector.

The Argentine Central Banks regulations also establish that a team independent from the departments responsible for credit origination
must carry out a periodic review of the commercial portfolio. Banco Galicias Credit Division, which is independent from the business units that generate transactions, is responsible for these reviews.

The review must be carried out on each borrower with debt pending payment equal to the lesser of the following amounts: Ps.4 million or 1% of
the banks computable capital (the RPC) but, in any case, the review shall cover at least 20% of the total loan portfolio. The frequency of the review of each borrower depends on the banks exposure to that borrower. The
Argentine Central Bank requires that the larger the exposure is, the more frequent the review should be. This review must be conducted every calendar quarter when credit exposure to that borrower is equal to or in excess of 5% of the banks
RPC, or every six months when exposure equals or exceeds the lesser of the following amounts: Ps.4 million or 1% of the banks RPC. In all cases, at least 50% of Banco Galicias commercial portfolio must be reviewed once every six months;
and all other borrowers in Banco Galicias commercial portfolio must be reviewed during the fiscal year, so that the entire commercial portfolio is reviewed every fiscal year.

In addition, only one level of discrepancy is permitted between the classification assigned by a bank and the lowest classification assigned
by at least two other banks whose combined credit to the borrower represents 40% or more of the total credit of the borrower, considering all banks. If Banco Galicias classification was different by more than one level from the lowest
classification granted, Banco Galicia must immediately downgrade its classification of the debtor to the same classification level, or else within one classification level.

Loan Classification

The following tables
contain the six loan classification categories corresponding to the different risk levels set forth by the Argentine Central Bank. Banco Galicias total exposure to a private sector customer must be classified according to the riskier
classification corresponding to any part of such exposure.

Loan Loss Provision Requirements

Allocated Provisions. Minimum allowances for loan losses are required for the different categories in which loans are classified. The
rates vary by classification and by whether the loans are secured. The percentages apply to total customer obligations, both principal and interest. The allowance for loan losses on the performing portfolio is unallocated, while the allowances for
the other classifications are individually allocated. Regulations provide for the suspension of interest accrual or the requirement of allowances equivalent to 100% of the interests for customers classified as With Problems and
Medium Risk, or lower. The allowances are set forth as follows:



|                                                     |  |         |     |   |           |  |     |

|Minimum Allowances for Loan Losses                   |  |         |     |   |           | 
|Category                                             |  | Secured |     |   | Unsecured | 
|1. Normal Situation                                  |  |         | 1   | % |           |  | 1   | %
|2. (a) Under Observation and Low Risk            |  |         | 3   | % |           |  | 5   | %
|2. (b) Under Negotiation or Refinancing Agreements |  |         | 6   | % |           |  | 12  | %
|3. With Problems and Medium Risk                 |  |         | 12  | % |           |  | 25  | %
|4. High Risk of Insolvency and High Risk         |  |         | 25  | % |           |  | 50  | %
|5. Uncollectible                                   |  |         | 50  | % |           |  | 100 | %
|6. Uncollectible Due to Technical Reasons          |  |         | 100 | % |           |  | 100 | %

Loans backed with preferred guarantees A (loans assigned or pledged in such a way that a financial
institution may be assured of its full repayment due to the existence of a solvent third party or secondary markets available for the sale of the assets) require a 1% provision independently of the customer category.

General Provisions. In addition to the specific loan loss allowances described above, the Argentine Central Bank requires the
establishment of a general allowance of 1% for all loans in its Normal Situation category. This general allowance is not required for interbank financial transactions of less than 30 days, or loans to the non-financial public sector or
to financial institutions majority-owned by the Argentine national, provincial or city governments with governmental guarantees. Besides these general provisions, Banco Galicia may establish additional provisions, determined based on Banco
Galicias judgment of the entire loan portfolio risk at each reporting period.

As of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we
maintained a general loan loss allowance of Ps.1,455 million, Ps.1,283 million and Ps.1,010 million, respectively, which exceeded by Ps.294 million, Ps.457 million and Ps.442 million, respectively, the 1% minimum general allowance required by the
Argentine Central Bank. The increase in these amounts was related to the growth and seasoning of the individuals loan portfolio and the impact of the worsening of certain macroeconomic variables.

(2)    Non-Accrual loans are defined as those loans in the categories of: (a) Consumer
portfolio: Medium Risk, High Risk, Uncollectible, and Uncollectible Due to Technical Reasons, and (b) Commercial portfolio: With problems, High Risk of Insolvency,
Uncollectible, and Uncollectible Due to Technical Reasons. | 

Our non-accrual loans to the private sector recorded an improvement of 46 b.p. decreasing from 3.57% in fiscal
year ended 2014 to 3.11% in fiscal year ended 2015.

Banco Galicia has entered into certain debt renegotiation agreements with customers.
Banco Galicia has eliminated any differences between the principal and accrued interest due under the original loan and the new loan amount through a charge against the allowance for loan losses. Loans under such agreements are included within past
due and accruing loans, which amounted to Ps.90 million, Ps.88 million and Ps.97 million as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

For the past three fiscal years, Banco Galicias coverage of non-accrual loans with allowances for loan losses has exceeded 100%.

Under Argentine Central Bank rules, we are required to cease the accrual of interest or to establish provisions equal to 100% of the interest
accrued on all loans pertaining to the non-accrual loan portfolio, that is, all loans to borrowers in the categories of:

Loan Loss Experience

The following table presents an analysis of our allowance for loan losses and of our credit losses as of and for the periods indicated. Certain
loans are charged off directly to income statement (such charge offs are immaterial amounts charged to income before any allowances for loan losses are recorded) therefore, are not reflected in the allowance.

During 2015, the Bank
established allowances for loan losses in an amount of Ps.2,128 million. The decrease in allowances established for loan losses in fiscal year 2015 as compared to fiscal year 2014 was mainly due to a decrease in the level of provisions for loan
losses in relation to the companies loan portfolio.

percentage of our total loan portfolio before deducting the allowance for loan losses, in each case for the periods indicated. The table also shows each loan category as a percentage of our total loan portfolio before deducting the allowance for

The categories with the highest
concentration of maturities per their original term are those within the segments within 30 Days and after 31 days but within 59 days (Pesos and Dollars), which accounted for 34.6% of the total and corresponded mainly to
Peso-denominated time deposits. The rest of the terms represent a lower percentage of the total portfolio ranging from 8% to 1% of total deposits. As of December 31, 2015, the average original term for both non-adjusted Peso-denominated time
deposits and of Dollar-denominated deposits was approximately 51 days. Dollar-denominated deposits, equal to Ps.14,362 million (only principal), represented 14.5% of total deposits.

Regulatory Capital

Grupo Financiero Galicia

Grupo Financiero
Galicias capital adequacy is not under the supervision of the Argentine Central Bank. Grupo Financiero Galicia has to comply with the minimum capital requirement established by the Corporations Law. On October 8, 2012, through Decree
1331/12, such amount was determined to be Ps.100,000.

Banco Galicia

Banco Galicia is subject to the capital adequacy rules of the Argentine Central Bank. The capital adequacy regulations are based on the Basel
Committee methodology which establishes the minimum capital a financial institution is required to maintain in order to cover the various risks inherent to its business activity and endemic to its assets. Such risks include: credit risk, generated
both by exposure to the private sector and to the public sector; operational risk, generated by losses due to the lack of conformity with internal processes or due to failure of them; market risk, generated by positions in securities,
foreign-currency and CER.

The computable capital is determined as follows:



| |  |  | The computable regulatory capital is divided into core capital (or Tier I) and supplemental capital (or Tier II). Deductions (i.e., organization and development expenses) become part mainly of the core capital.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Any holdings in financial entities, insurance companies, companies whose corporate purpose is the issuance of credit cards and other companies with activities complementary to financial entities, must be deducted from
the calculation.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The result of the period is part of the core capital (Positive: 100% of audited results, 50% of unaudited results; Negative: 100%). Previously it was part of the supplemental capital.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | The supplemental capital is comprised of subordinated notes and 100% of the provisions for loan losses in connection with the loan portfolio in normal situation.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In addition to a 20% value write-off per annum for subordinated notes beginning on the fifth year before their due date, the new regulation establishes that the same have to be considered at 90% of their value,
writing-off 10 percentage points (p.p.). every 12 months.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regarding capital requirements, the following percentages apply
in the determination:



| |  |  | Financing to the non-financial public sector in Pesos: 0%
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Bank premises and equipment and miscellaneous assets: 8%
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Mortgage loans to households: from 35% of the 8%, if the amount is lower than 75% of the propertys value.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Consumer loan portfolio(1): 75% of the 8%.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------

Beginning in December 2015, through its Communication A 5831, the Argentine Central Bank implemented certain regulatory changes
which established that the capital requirement on credit risk must be calculated based on the balances as of the last day of each month. Prior to the change in law, the capital requirement for credit risk was calculated based on the average balances
as of the second month before the date of the determination of the requirement. Under the new law, the computable capital to be considered is that of the same month of the capital requirement, while previously it was that of the prior month.

Minimum capital requirements must be met by the Bank, both on an individual basis and on a consolidated basis with its significant
subsidiaries.

In the table below, Banco Galicias information on regulatory capital and compliance with minimum capital requirements
regulations is consolidated with Tarjetas Regionales and its subsidiaries, CFA and Galicia Uruguay.

In accordance with Argentine Central Bank rules applicable at each date.

As of December 31, 2015, the Banks consolidated computable capital was Ps.3,008 million (27.2%) higher than the Ps.11,063
million minimum capital requirement. As of December 31, 2014, this excess amounted to Ps.3,056 million or 43.2%.

The minimum capital
requirement increased Ps.3,986 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014, mainly as a result of higher requirements of (i) Ps.3,271 million due to the increase in the private-sector
loan portfolio (during the year it was also influenced by the above mentioned regulatory change, Communication A 5831) and (ii) Ps.619 million in connection with certain increased operational risks.





|(1) | Communication A 5831 issued by the Argentine Central on November 18, 2015 and in force since December, defined the consumer loan portfolio as individuals with loans that are equal to or less than 75
times the minimum living wage and Micro SMEs with loans in an amount less than Ps.10 million, provided that the amount of the agreement does not exceed 30% of their revenues.

##### Table of Contents

Computable capital increased Ps.3,938 million as compared to December 31, 2014, mainly a
consequence of a higher Tier I capital, for Ps.3,691 million, mainly due to the higher net income, partially offset by an increase in deductions, resulting from organization and development expenses. Tier II capital recorded a Ps.319 million
increase, mainly as a consequence of the higher balance of the provisions for loan losses for the credit portfolio in normal situation.

The capital ratio as of December 31, 2015 was 13.38%, 2.5 p.p. lower as compared to December 31, 2014, due to the above described
regulatory change. Considering the methodology in force until November 2015, the capital ratio would be similar to the one recorded in 2014.

Regional
Credit Card Companies

Since the Regional Credit Card Companies are not financial institutions, their capital adequacy is not regulated
by the Argentine Central Bank. The Regional Credit Card Companies have to comply with the minimum capital requirement established by the Corporations Law, which was required to be Ps.100,000. However, as noted above, Banco Galicia has to comply with
the Argentine Central Banks capital adequacy rules on a consolidated basis, which includes the Regional Credit Card Companies.

Compañía Financiera Argentina

Since CFA is a financial institution, its capital adequacy is subject to rules of the Argentine Central Bank, the same as Banco Galicia. In
addition, as noted above, Banco Galicia has to comply with the Argentine Central Banks capital adequacy rules on a consolidated basis, which includes CFA.

Minimum Capital Requirements of Insurance Companies

The insurance companies controlled by Sudamericana must meet the minimum capital requirements set by General Resolution No. 38,708 of the
National Insurance Superintendency. This resolution requires insurance companies to maintain a minimum capital level equivalent to the highest of the amounts calculated as follows:



|(a) | By line of insurance: this method establishes a fixed amount by line of insurance. For life insurance companies, it is Ps.3 million, increasing to Ps.6 million for companies that offer pension-linked life insurance. For
providers of retirement insurance that do not offer pension-linked annuities, the requirement is Ps.10 million. For companies that offer property insurance that includes damage coverage (excluding those related to vehicles) the requirement is Ps.3
million (increasing to Ps.18 million for companies that offer all property and casualty products).
|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(b) | By premiums and additional fees: to use this method, the company must calculate the sum of the premiums written and additional fees earned in the last 12 months. Based on the total, the company must calculate 16%.
Finally, it must adjust the total by the ratio of net paid claims to gross paid claims for the last 36 months. This ratio must be at least 50%.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | By claims: to use this method, the company must calculate the sum of gross claims paid during the 36 months prior to the end of the period under analysis. To that amount, it must add the difference between the balance
of unpaid claims as of the end of the period under analysis and the balance of unpaid claims as of the 36th month prior to the end of the period under analysis. The resulting figure must be
divided by three. Then the company must calculate 23%. The resulting figure must be adjusted by the ratio of net paid claims to gross paid claims for the last 36 months. This ratio must be at least 50%.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(d) | For life insurance companies that offer policies with an investment component, the figures obtained in b) and c) must be increased by an amount equal to 4% of the technical reserves adjusted by the ratio of net
technical reserves to gross technical reserves (at least 85%), plus 0.3% of at-risk capital adjusted by the ratio of retained at-risk capital to total at-risk capital (at least 50%).
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The minimum required capital must then be compared to computable capital, defined as shareholders equity less non-computable assets.
Non-computable assets consist mainly of deferred charges, pending capital contributions, the proposal for profits distribution and excess investments in authorized instruments.

As of December 31, 2015, the computable capital of the companies controlled by Sudamericana
exceeded the minimum requirement of Ps.386 million by Ps.120 million.

Sudamericana also owns Galicia Broker, a company dedicated to
brokerage in different lines of insurance that is regulated by the guidelines of the Corporations Law, which provided for a minimum capital requirement of Ps.100,000.

Government Regulation

General

All companies operating in
Argentina must be registered with the Argentine Public Registry of Commerce whose regulations are applicable to all of them but may be superseded by other regulatory entities rules, depending on the matter, such as CNV or the Argentine Central
Bank. All companies operating in Argentina are also regulated by the Corporations Law.

In their capacity as companies listed in
Argentina, Grupo Financiero Galicia and Banco Galicia must comply with the disclosure, reporting, governance and other rules applicable to such companies issued by the markets in which they are listed and their regulators, including the Capital
Markets Law, Law No. 20,643, the Decrees No. 659/74 and No. 2,220/80 and the CNVs General Regulation No. 622/13, as amended (the CNV Rules).

In their capacity as public issuers of securities, these companies are subject to the above-mentioned rules. As Grupo Financiero Galicia has
publicly listed ADSs in the United States, it is also subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 of the United States (the Exchange Act) for foreign private issuers and to the provisions applicable
to foreign private issuers under the Sarbanes Oxley Act. See Item 9. The Offer and Listing-Market Regulations.

Our
operating subsidiaries are also subject to the following laws: Law No. 25,156 (the Competition Defense Law or, in Spanish Ley de Defensa de la Competencia), Law No. 22,820 (Fair Business Practice Law, in Spanish
Ley de Lealtad Comercial) and Law No. 24,240, as amended, (the Consumer Protection Law or, in Spanish Ley de Defensa del Consumidor).

As a financial services holding company, we do not have a specific institution that regulates our activities. Our banking and insurance
subsidiaries are regulated by different regulatory entities. In the case of Banco Galicia, the Argentine Central Bank is the main regulatory and supervising entity.

The banking industry is highly regulated in Argentina. Banking activities in Argentina are regulated by Law No. 21,526, as amended (the
Financial Institutions Law), which places the supervision and control of the Argentine banking system in the hands of the Argentine Central Bank. The Argentine Central Bank regulates all aspects of financial activity. See
Argentine Banking Regulation below.

Banco Galicia and our insurance subsidiaries are subject to Law No. 25,246,
which was passed on April 13, 2000, as amended, which provides for an anti-money laundering framework in Argentina, including Law No. 26,268, which amends the latter to include within the scope of criminal activities those associated with
terrorism and its financing.

Sudamericanas insurance subsidiaries are regulated by the National Insurance Superintendency and Laws
No. 17,418 and No. 20,091. Galicia Broker is regulated by the National Insurance Superintendency, through Law No. 22,400.

The activity of the Regional Credit Card Companies and the credit card activities of Banco Galicia are regulated by Law No. 25,065, as
amended (the Credit Cards Law). Both the Argentine Central Bank and the Secretariat of Domestic Trade have issued regulations to, among other things, enforce public disclosure of companies pricing (fees and interest rates) in order
to assure consumer awareness of such pricing. See Credit Cards Regulation.

Net Investment is regulated by the Corporations Law, as previously noted, and is not regulated by
any specific regulatory agency. Galicia Warrants is regulated by Law No. 9,643.

On January 6, 2002, the Argentine Congress
enacted Law No. 25,561 (the Public Emergency Law), which together with various decrees and Argentine Central Bank rules, provided for the principal measures in order to deal with the 2001-2002 financial crisis, including Asymmetric
Pesification, among others. The period of effectiveness of the Public Emergency Law was extended again until December 31, 2017.

Foreign
Exchange Market

In late 2001 and early 2002, restrictions were imposed on access to the Argentine foreign exchange market and on
capital movements. The Public Emergency Law granted the executive branch of the Argentine government the power to regulate the local foreign exchange market.

Pursuant to Decree No. 260/02, all foreign exchange transactions in Argentina must be conducted through the Argentine single and
free-floating exchange market (in Spanish,mercado único y libre de cambios). These foreign exchange transactions are completed using the exchange rate freely agreed upon the parties, but subject to Argentine Central Bank
regulations. In addition, these transactions have to be conducted only through authorized entities supervised by the Argentine Central Bank (local banks and exchange agencies). This system continues to be in force today, with certain amendments.
Only the principal features currently in force are detailed below.

According to Decree No. 616/05 (as amended), the executive branch
of the Argentine government established that:



| | (a) | Foreign exchange flows into and from the local foreign exchange market and all resident new debt transactions that may imply future foreign exchange payments to nonresidents must be registered with the Argentine Central
Bank.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | All debt of the private sector with non-residents, when the funds that have been made available have been transferred into the country, must be agreed to be repaid after a minimum term of 120 days has elapsed, counted
from the date the funds are transferred into the country, except for international trade financing and primary issuances of debt securities, if such securities public offering and listing on self-regulated markets in Argentina has been duly
authorized.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Argentine Ministry of Economy and Public Finance (the current name of the Ministry of Economy) is entitled
to modify the requirements established by Decree No. 616/05, and/or establish new ones, and/or increase the types of foreign currency inflows included. In such context, relevant modifications were introduced by Resolution 3/2015, issued by the
Argentine Ministry of Economy and Public Finance. The Argentine Central Bank is entitled to regulate and control compliance with the regime established by Decree No. 616/05, and to enforce the applicable penalties.

In addition to Decree No. 616/05, the Argentine Ministry of Economy issued Resolution No. 637/05, dated November 16, 2005,
which established that, the restrictions established in such Decree are also applicable to all inflows of funds to the local foreign exchange market for the subscription of primary issuances of debt securities or certificates of participation by
financial trusts, if such restrictions were applicable to capital inflows to be used to acquire any of the trusts assets. The corresponding criminal regime will be applicable in the case that any of these rules are violated.

Furthermore, currently, access to the local foreign exchange market by non-residents (both individuals and entities) to transfer funds abroad
is permitted (without requesting the Argentine Central Banks prior authorization) with no limit in the case of: (i) proceeds from the principal amortization of government debt securities and guarantee loans in local currency;
(ii) recoveries from local bankruptcies; (iii) proceeds from the sale, capital reduction or liquidation of direct investments (as it is defined by the Argentine Central Bank) in the non-financial private sector in Argentina if the payment
is wired to a bank account or a beneficiary established in a country listed as cooperator on transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes; (iv) aggregate proceeds from the sale of portfolio investments made with a foreign currency
and that entered the local foreign exchange market no less than 120 days before, and (v) certain other specific cases.

On the other hand, Argentine residents (both companies and individuals) are currently allowed by
the Argentine Central Bank to purchase up to US$2 million per calendar month, in the aggregate, for any of the following concepts in relation to the formation of offshore assets: real estate investments abroad, the provision of loans to
non-residents, direct foreign investments abroad by residents, portfolio investments abroad by individuals, other investments abroad by residents, portfolio investments abroad by resident companies, purchase of foreign currency in the country,
purchase of travelers checks and making specific donations.

In respect of portfolio investments, Argentine residents are able
to transfer funds from their local accounts to their own accounts abroad, and such funds will be freely disposable, meaning that they can be used to repay all types of obligations abroad, such as debts for services, dividends, payments for imports
of goods, investments, as long as no other regulations apply.

Access to the foreign exchange local market for the transfer of profits and
dividends abroad is permitted when (i) the company has had actual profits, corresponding to audited and final balance sheets; and (ii) an approved anticipated affidavit of payments abroad (known as DAPE) is
previously obtained from the AFIP.

Compensation to Financial Institutions

For the Asymmetric Pesification and its Consequences

Decree No. 214/02 provided for compensation to financial institutions, for (i) the losses caused by the mandatory conversion into
Pesos of most of their liabilities at the Ps.1.4 per US$1.00 exchange rate (which was greater than the Ps.1 per US$1.00 exchange rate established for the conversion into Pesos of their Dollar-denominated assets), through the delivery of a
Peso-denominated Compensatory Bond issued by the Argentine government; and (ii) the currency mismatch left on financial institutions balance sheets after the compulsory pesification (conversion into pesos) of certain assets and
liabilities, through the conversion of the abovementioned Peso-denominated Compensatory Bond into a Dollar-denominated Compensatory Bond. This would be achieved by the purchase by financial institutions of a Dollar-denominated Hedge Bond. For such
purpose, the Argentine government established the issuance of a Dollar-denominated bond bearing Libor and maturing in 2012 (Boden 2012 Bonds).

The compensation procedure applicable to Banco Galicia, under the terms of Decree No. 214/02, was completed in April 2007.

For Differences Related to Amparo Claims

As a result of the provisions of Decree No. 1,570/01, the Public Emergency Law, Decree No. 214/02 and concurrent regulations, and as
a result of the restrictions on cash withdrawals and of the issuance of measures that established the pesification and restructuring of foreign-currency deposits, since December 2001, a significant number of claims have been filed against the
Argentine government and/or financial institutions, formally challenging the emergency regulations and requesting prompt payment of deposits in their original currency. Most lower and upper courts have declared the emergency regulations
unconstitutional.

Through Communication A 3916, dated April 3, 2003, the Argentine Central Bank allowed for the
recording of an intangible asset on account of the difference between the amount paid by financial institutions pursuant to legal actions, and the amount resulting from the conversion into Pesos of the balance of the Dollar deposits reimbursed, at
the exchange rate of 1.4 Pesos per Dollar (adjusted by the CER plus accrued interest as of the payment date). In addition, it established that the corresponding amount must be amortized in 60 monthly equal and consecutive installments beginning in
April 2003.

On November 17, 2005, through Communication A 4439, the Argentine Central Bank established that, beginning
in December 2005, financial institutions having provided, as from that date, new commercial loans with an average life of more than two years could defer the losses related to the amortization of amparo claims. The maximum deferrable amount
was 10% of a financial institutions RPC or 50% of the new commercial loans. Likewise, financial institutions were not able to reduce the remainder of their commercial loan portfolio. This methodology was applied until December 2008, when the
balances recorded as of that date began to be amortized in up to 36 monthly equal and consecutive installments.

With respect to judicial deposits that have been subject to pesification, the Argentine Central
Bank established that, beginning in July 2007, financial institutions must establish a provision in an amount equal to the difference that results from comparing such deposits balances at each months end, considered in their original
currency, and the corresponding Peso balances actually recorded on the books. Such provision, established as of December 31, 2015 and charged to income, amounted to Ps.8 million.

During fiscal year 2010, Banco Galicia amortized the total remaining balance of the deferred losses from amparo claims for Ps.281
million.

Banco Galicia has complied with Argentine Central Bank regulations concerning the amortization of amparo claims. However,
Banco Galicia reserves the right to make claims in view of the negative effect on its financial condition caused by compliance with court orders, in excess of the provisions of the above-mentioned regulations. On December 30, 2003, Banco
Galicia formally requested of the executive branch of the Government, with a copy of such request sent to the Argentine Ministry of Economy and to the Argentine Central Bank, the payment of due compensation for the losses incurred in connection with
Asymmetric Pesification.

Argentine Banking Regulation

The following is a summary of certain matters relating to the Argentine banking system, including provisions of Argentine law and
regulations applicable to financial institutions in Argentina. This summary is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all laws and regulations applicable to financial institutions in Argentina.

General

Since 1977, banking
activities in Argentina have been regulated by the Financial Institutions Law, which places the supervision and control of the Argentine banking system in the hands of the autonomous Argentine Central Bank. The Argentine Central Bank enforces the
Financial Institutions Law and grants authorization to banks to operate in Argentina. The Financial Institutions Law confers numerous powers to the Argentine Central Bank, including the ability to grant and revoke bank licenses, authorize the
establishment of branches of Argentine banks outside of Argentina, approve bank mergers, capital increases and certain transfers of stock, set minimum capital, liquidity and solvency requirements and lending limits, grant certain credit facilities
to financial institutions in cases of temporary liquidity problems and promulgate other regulations that further the intent of the Financial Institutions Law. The Argentine Central Bank has vested the Superintendency with most of the Argentine
Central Banks supervisory powers. In this section, unless otherwise stated, references to the Argentine Central Bank should be understood to be references to the Argentine Central Bank acting through the Superintendency. The Financial
Institutions Law grants to the Argentine Central Bank broad access to the accounting systems, books, correspondence, and other documents belonging to banking institutions. The Argentine Central Bank regulates the supply of credit and monitors the
liquidity of, and generally supervises the operation of, the Argentine banking system.

Current regulations equally regulate Argentine and
foreign owned banks.

Principal Regulatory Changes since 2002

On January 6, 2002, the Argentine government enacted the Emergency Law (Ley de Emergencia) to address the 2001-2002 financial
crisis. The principal measures taken by the Argentine government during 2002, both through the enactment of the Emergency Law and a series of decrees and other regulations, include the following: (i) the ratification of the suspension of
payments on most of the public debt, with the exception of debts owed to multilateral lending agencies; (ii) the repeal of sections of the Convertibility Law (Ley de Convertibilidad) that established, since 1991, a 1 to 1 parity between
the Peso and the Dollar, the devaluation of the Peso, and the establishment of an exchange rate fluctuation regime, which resulted in a decrease in the value of the Peso against the Dollar of around 240% during 2002; (iii) the amplification of
exchange controls and restrictions on transfers

abroad; (iv) the ratification and extension of the restrictions on cash withdrawals from bank deposits that were established in December 2001 (the corralito), and later
lifted in December 2002; (v) Asymmetric Pesification, the specific details of which are as follows: (a) the Dollar-denominated debts of individuals and companies with financial institutions were converted into debt denominated in Pesos at
an exchange rate of Ps.1 per US$1.00 (1:1), (b) Dollar-denominated public sector debt to the financial sector were converted into Peso-denominated debt instruments at an exchange rate of Ps.1.4 per US$1.00 (1.4:1), and (c) the
Dollar-denominated bank deposits were converted into Peso-denominated bank deposits at an exchange rate of Ps.1.4 per US$1.00 (1.4:1), while foreign regulated public sector debt held by banks and companies remained Dollar-denominated; (vi) the
modification of the return on assets and cost of liabilities pesified at the rate of Ps.1.4 per US$1.00 through the establishment of maximum and minimum interest rates and capital adjustments in accordance with retail price or wage change indices;
(vii) the extension of the maturities of Peso-denominated time deposits and deposits originally denominated in Dollars, above a certain amount, which established a payment schedule with maturities in 2003 or 2005, depending on whether the
deposits were originally made in Pesos or Dollars (the corralón); (viii) the voluntary exchange of corralito or corralón deposits for Argentine government bonds (through Decree No. 739/03,
dated April 1, 2003, the corralón was eliminated); (ix) the amendment of the charter of the Argentine Central Bank (see -General above); and (x) the compensation to financial institutions, through bonds
issued by the Argentine government for the losses caused by Asymmetric Pesification. The executive branch of the Argentine government and the Argentine Central Bank have provided a set of rules for determining the amount of compensation for losses
related to Asymmetric Pesification, although certain financial entities claim that the compensation established by such rules is not adequate to cover the losses that they have experienced.

On November 4, 2015, the Argentine Congress extended the validity of the Emergency Law until December 31, 2017.

Supervision

As the regulator of
the Argentine financial system, the Argentine Central Bank requires financial institutions to submit information on a daily, monthly, quarterly, semiannual and annual basis. These reports, which include balance sheets and income statements,
information relating to reserve funds, use of deposits, portfolio quality (including details on debtors and any established loan loss provisions) and other pertinent information, allow the Argentine Central Bank to monitor financial
institutions financial condition and business practices.

The Argentine Central Bank periodically carries out formal inspections of
all banking institutions for the purpose of monitoring compliance by banks with legal and regulatory requirements. If the Argentine Central Bank rules are breached, it may impose various sanctions depending on the magnitude of the infringement.
These sanctions range from calling attention to the infraction, to the imposition of fines or even the revocation of the financial institutions operating license. Moreover, non-compliance with certain rules may result in the obligatory
presentation to the Argentine Central Bank of specific adequacy or regularization plans. The Argentine Central Bank must approve these plans in order for the financial institution to remain operational.

Financial institutions operating in Argentina have been subject to the supervision of the Argentine Central Bank on a consolidated basis since
1994. Information set out in -Limitations on Types of Business, -Regulatory Capital, -Lending Limits, and -Loan Classification System and Loan Loss Provisions below, relating to a banks loan
portfolio, is assessed on a consolidated basis. However, regulations relating to a banks deposits are not based on consolidated information, but on such banks deposits in Argentina (for example, liquidity requirements and contributions
to the deposit insurance system).

Examination by the Argentine Central Bank

The Argentine Central Bank began to rate financial institutions based on the CAMEL quality rating system in 1994. Each letter of
the CAMEL system corresponds to an area of the operations of each bank being rated, with: C standing for capital, A for assets, M for management, E for earnings, and L for liquidity. Each
factor is evaluated and rated on a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being the highest rating an entity can receive. The Argentine Central Bank modified the supervision system in September of 2000. The objective and basic methodology of the new system,
referred to as CAMELBIG, do not differ substantially from the CAMEL system. The components were redefined in order to evaluate business risks separately from management risks. The



-77-

##### Table of Contents

components used to rate the business risks are: capital, assets, market, earnings, liquidity and business. The components to rate management risks are: internal control and the quality of
management. By combining the individual factors that are under evaluation, a combined index can be populated that represents the final rating for the financial institution.

After temporarily halting such examinations as a result of the 2001-2002 financial crisis, the Argentine Central Bank resumed the examination
process, which continues to be in effect today. In Banco Galicias case, the first examination after the 2001-2002 financial crisis was based on the information as of June 30, 2005. New examinations were conducted, the last one of which
was based on information as of April 30, 2013.

Regulatory capital (Minimum Capital Requirements)

Financial entities are subject to the capital adequacy rules of the Argentine Central Bank. The capital adequacy regulations are based on the
Basel Committee methodology which establishes the minimum capital a financial institution is required to maintain in order to cover the various risks inherent to its business activity and to its assets. Such risks include: credit risk, generated
both by exposure to the private sector and to the public sector; operational risk, generated by losses due to a lack of conformity with internal processes or due to failure of them; market risk, generated by positions in securities, foreign-currency
and CER.

The computable capital is determined as follows:



| |  |  | The computable regulatory capital is divided into core capital (or Tier I) and supplemental capital (or Tier II). Deductions (i.e., organization and development expenses) become part mainly of the core capital.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Any holdings in financial entities, insurance companies, companies whose corporate purpose is the issuance of credit cards and other companies with activities complementary to financial entities, must be deducted from
the calculation.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The result of the period is part of the core capital (Positive: 100% of audited results, 50% of unaudited results; Negative: 100%). Previously it was part of the supplemental capital.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The supplemental capital is comprised of subordinated notes and 100% of the provisions for loan losses in connection with the loan portfolio in normal situation.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In addition to a 20% value write-off per annum for subordinated notes beginning on the fifth year before their due date, the new regulation establishes that the same have to be considered at 90% of their value,
writing-off 10 p.p. every 12 months.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regarding capital requirements, the following percentages apply in the determination:



| |  |  | Financing to the non-financial public sector in Pesos: 0%
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Bank premises and equipment and miscellaneous assets: 8%
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Mortgage loans to households: from 35% of the 8%, if the amount is lower than 75% of the propertys value.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Consumer loan portfolio(2): 75% of the 8%.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------

Beginning in
December 2015, through its Communication A 5831, the Argentine Central Bank implemented certain regulatory changes which established that the capital requirement on credit risk must be calculated based on the balances as of the last day
of each month. Prior to the change in law, the capital requirement for credit risk was calculated based on the average balances as of the second month before the date of the determination of the requirement. Under the new law, the computable capital
to be considered is that of the same month of the capital requirement, while previously it was that of the prior month.

From
March 1, 2016 the minimum capital requirement that financial institutions should have paid-in (minimum legal capital requirement) shall be equal to the greater value resulting from the comparison between the applicable basic requirement and the
sum of those determined by credit risk, market risk (based on the daily position requirement for the assets included) and operational risk. Until now, it was defined that the minimum capital





|(2) | Communication A 5831 issued by the Argentine Central on November 18, 2015 and in force since
December, defined the consumer loan portfolio as individuals with loansthat are equal to or less than 75 times the Minimum living wage and Micro SMEs with loans in an amount less than Ps.10 million, provided that the amount of the agreement does not
exceed 30% of their revenues.

##### Table of Contents

requirement that financial institutions should have integrated in the last day of each month should be equal to the greater value resulting from the comparison between the basic requirement and
the sum of those determined by credit risk, market risk (requieremnt VaRp for the positions of the last day of the month for the assets included) and operational assets.

Any financial institution operating with an RPC under the minimum legal capital requirement shall, (i) pay-in the correspondent amount
within the following two months from the month as of which it fails to comply with the requirement, or (ii) submit to the Superintendency a regularization and reorganization plan within the following 30 calendar days from the last day of the
month in which it fails to comply with the requirement. The Superintendency may appoint a supervisor and impose restrictions on distribution of dividends (see -Profit Distribution), among other actions.

In addition, any financial institution operating under the minimum capital requirement related to market risk (which will be evaluated on a
daily basis, based on the RPC of the last day of the prior month and the daily value of the assets included but will not be evaluated on the last day of the applicable month), when such failure is caused by a failure to comply with the requirements
established to prevent interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk or share price risk, shall pay in the corresponding amount and/or reduce its asset position until the applicable requirement is complied with, within a period of 10 business days
counted from the date of the first failure to comply. In case the non-compliance situation remains after such period has elapsed, the entity must submit to the Superintendency a regularization and reorganization plan within the following 5 days.

Legal Reserve

The Argentine
Central Bank requires that every year banks allocate to a legal reserve 20% of their net profits. Such reserve may only be used during periods of bank losses and after using up every allowance and other reserves. Distribution of dividends will not
be allowed if the legal reserve has been impaired.

Profit Distribution

According to the terms set forth by the Argentine Central Bank, dividends may only be paid so long as a company continues to show a profit
after the deduction from its gross income of retained earnings, as well as amounts required to be retained for both the legal reserve and the reserve that is required by law, in respect of the following matters: the difference between the accounting
and the market value of public sector assets and/or debt issued by the Argentine Central Bank that is not marked to market, the amount of assets representing any losses from lawsuits related to deposits, and any adjustments discussed with the
external auditors or the Argentine Central Bank that have not been recognized.

In addition, to be able to pay dividends, a financial
institution must comply with the capital adequacy rule, with the minimum capital requirement and the regulatory capital requirement, which regulatory capital requirement is calculated, only for the purpose of determining if an entity can pay a
dividend, by deducting from its assets and retained earnings all the items mentioned in the paragraph above. In undertaking such calculations, a financial institution is not able to take into account any temporary reductions in its capital that
affects the minimum capital requirements, the regulatory capital requirement or a financial institutions capital adequacy.

Through
its Board of Directors resolution No. 4, the Argentine Central Bank resolved that the Bank is considered to be a Domestic Systemically Important Bank (D-SIBs) for all purposes. As a result, when undertaking the calculations necessary to
determine if a dividend can be paid, as from December 2014 and through the end of fiscal year 2015, an additional capital requirement equal to 1% of any risk-weighted assets must be included.

Beginning in January 2016, the Argentine Central Bank began requiring financial entities to maintain a capital preservation margin in addition
to the minimum capital requirement for risk-weighted assets. Such margin is payable using exclusively level 1 ordinary capital, net of deductible items. The capital preservation margin integration will be gradually phased in, over a 4-year period,
until the final level set forth for the Bank of 3.5% of risk-weighted assets is reached. In addition, the Argentine Central Bank also requires that an excess computable capital equal to 75% of the recorded capital requirement be maintained in order
to distribute dividends.

Legal Reserve Requirements for Liquidity Purposes

The minimum cash requirements that banks are required to carry are established as a percentage of the balances of the different
types of bank deposits and, for time deposits, the percentage varies with the remaining maturity. The deposit amount minus the minimum cash requirement is such deposits lending capacity.

The Argentine Central Bank modifies from time to time the percentages of the minimum cash requirements depending on monetary policy
considerations. Compliance with the minimum cash requirements must be accomplished with certain assets (see below) in the same currency as the deposit that triggers such requirement. Compliance with the minimum cash requirements is determined in
averages, for monthly periods. Through Communication A 3486, dated March 22, 2002, and Communication A 3528, dated March 25, 2002, the Argentine Central Bank established that foreign currency denominated deposits
lending capacity must only be applied to Dollar-denominated international trade financing, interbank loans and Lebac, and that any such lending capacity not applied to the aforementioned purposes will constitute a greater cash minimum requirement in
Pesos, for the same amount. Subsequently, other purposes were added, allowing for the financing of activities that do not directly generate cash flows in foreign currency, such as the granting of loans to finance the importing of capital goods to be
used to increase the production for the local market.

Pursuant to Communication A 4449, dated December 2, 2005, the
Argentine Central Bank established that, effective December 2005, the minimum cash requirement in Pesos is to be applied over the monthly average of the daily balances of the obligations comprised, except for the period from December to February of
the following year, for which the quarterly average was used.

As of February 11, 2016, the percentages of minimum cash requirements
applicable in accordance with Argentine Central Bank regulations for Banco Galicia, are as follows:



| |  |  | Demand deposits:
| | - |  | ----------------



| |  |  | Peso-denominated checking accounts and savings accounts: 17% (zone I); 15% (zone II).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Dollar-denominated savings accounts: 20%.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Time deposits (by remaining maturity):
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | Peso-denominated:
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | Zone I: up to 29 days: 13%; from 30 to 59 days: 10%; from 60 to 89 days: 6%; from 90 to 179 days: 1%; from 180 to 365 days: 0%; and more than 365 days: 0%.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Zone II: up to 29 days: 12%; from 30 to 59 days: 9%; from 60 to 89 days: 5%; from 90 to 179 days: 0%; from 180 to 365 days: 0%; and more than 365 days: 0%
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Dollar-denominated: up to 29 days: 20%; from 30 to 59 days: 15%; from 60 to 89 days: 10%; from 90 to 179 days: 5%; from 180 to 365 days: 2%; and more than 365 days: 0%.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These Zone I and Zone II refer to the locations where deposits are accepted, by zoning the Argentine Central Bank promotes the
offering of financial products in areas where the population does not frecuently make use of banks.

The assets computable for compliance
with this requirement are the technical cash, which includes cash (bills and coins in vaults, in ATMs and branches, and in transportation and in armored truck companies, the balances of the Peso- and Dollar-denominated accounts at the Argentine
Central Bank and that of the escrow accounts held at the Argentine Central Bank for the benefit of clearing houses).

As of
December 31, 2015, Banco Galicia was in compliance with its legal reserve requirements, and has continued to be up to the date of this annual report.

Limitations on Types of Business

In accordance with the provisions of the Financial Institutions Law, commercial banks are authorized to carry out all those activities and
operations which are not strictly prohibited by law or by the Argentine Central Bank regulations. Permitted activities include the capacity to: grant and receive loans; receive deposits from the general public in local and foreign currency; secure
its customers debts; acquire, place and trade with shares and debt securities in the Argentine over-the-counter market, subject to the prior approval of the CNV; carry out operations in foreign currencies; act as trustee; and issue credit
cards.

##### Table of Contents

Financial institutions are not allowed to own commercial, industrial, agricultural or any other
type of company, unless they are authorized by the Argentine Central Bank. Pursuant to the rules of the Argentine Central Bank, a commercial banks total equity investments (including interest in local mutual funds) may not exceed 50% of the
banks adjusted shareholders equity or its RPC. Also, the following investments may not exceed 15%, in the aggregate, of the banks adjusted shareholders equity: (i) shares not listed on stock exchanges except for
(a) shares in companies providing services supplementary to the ones offered by the bank, and (b) certain equity interests requiring the provision of utility services, if applicable and (ii) listed shares and participation
certificates in mutual funds not included for the purposes of determining capital requirements associated with market risk.

In order to
carry out the calculation of limits described above, it is not necessary to deduct the capital stock allocated to foreign branches from a banks shareholders equity.

Pursuant to the Argentine Central Banks regulations, financial institutions are not allowed to engage directly in insurance activities
or hold more than a 12.5% interest (or more than a specific percentage of the financial institutions adjusted shareholders equity) in the outstanding capital of a company which does not provide services supplementary to those offered by
financial institutions. The Argentine Central Bank determines which services are complementary to those provided by financial institutions; it has been determined that such services include those offered in connection with stock brokerage, the
issuance of credit, debit or similar cards, financial intermediation in leasing and factoring transactions.

As regards non-banking
financial institutions, they are not allowed to provide certain services and activities, such as checking accounts, foreign trade transactions, etc.

As of January 2015, financial institutions must not acquire (i) over 12.5% of the capital stock; (ii) over 12.5% of the total of
votes; or (iii) a participation equivalent to the corporate will  even when it is below the 12.5% before mentioned  of other companies that provide up to two complementary financial services (to those provided by the financial
entity), without the prior authorization of the Argentine Central Bank. The acquisition of participations is not authorized when such companies provide more than two complementary financial services. This regulation does not directly affect those
financial institutions that already provide several complementary services or those that control companies that already provide complementary financial services, but it should be considered for possible future acquisitions.

Capitalization of Debt Instruments

Through Communication A 5282, as amended, the Argentine Central Bank modified Item 8.3 Capital Contributions of
Chapter VI. Minimum Capital of Financial Institutions- Section 8. Computable Equity of its LISOL rule. According to such Communication, capital contributions made for the purposes of all regulations related to capital, capital
calculations and capital increases must be completed in cash. Subject to the prior authorization by the Superintendency, the following instruments are allowed as capital contributions: (i) securities issued by the Argentine government,
(ii) debt instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank, and (iii) a financial institutions deposits and other liabilities resulting from financial brokerage, including subordinated obligations. In the case of clauses (i) and
(ii), the contributions must be recorded at market value. It is understood that an instrument has a market value when it has regular quotations in stock markets and regulated local and foreign markets. In the case of clause (iii), contributions must
be recorded at market value, as defined in the previous sentence or, in the case of financial institutions that publicly offer their stock, at the price determined by the regulatory authority.

Lending Limits

The total equity
stake and credit, including collateral, a bank is allowed to grant to a customer at any time is based on the banks adjusted shareholders equity as of the last day of the immediately preceding month and on the customers
shareholders equity.

In accordance with the Argentine Central Banks regulations, a commercial bank shall not lend or provide
credit (financial assistance) in favor of, nor hold shares in the capital stock of only one unrelated customer (together with its affiliates) for amounts higher than 15% of the banks adjusted shareholders equity or 100% of
the customers shareholders equity. Nevertheless, a bank may provide additional financial assistance to such customer up to a sum equivalent to 10% of the banks adjusted shareholders equity, if the additional financial
assistance is secured by certain liquid assets, including government or private debt securities.

##### Table of Contents

The total amount of financial assistance a bank is authorized to provide to a borrower and its
affiliates is also limited based on the borrowers shareholders equity. The total amount of financial assistance granted to a borrower and its affiliates shall not be higher than, in the aggregate, 100% of such borrowers
shareholders equity, although such limit may be increased an additional 200% of the borrowers shareholders equity if the sum does not exceed 2.5% of the banks adjusted shareholders equity.

Since October 1, 1995, the Argentine Central Bank has required that the granting of any kind of loans exceeding 2.5% of a banks
adjusted shareholders equity be approved by the branchs manager, the regional manager, the senior administrative officer of the credit division, the general manager and the credit committee, if any, and it must also have the approval by
the board of directors, management board or another similar board.

Global exposure to the public sector (national, provincial and
municipal public sector) shall not be higher than 75% of an institutions adjusted shareholders equity. Additionally, Section 12 of Communication A 3911, as amended, establishes that the average monthly financial
assistance to non-financial public sector, in the aggregate, shall not be higher than 35% of the banks total assets as of the end of the previous month.

The Argentine Central Bank also regulates the level of total financial exposure (defined as financial assistance or credit plus
equity participations) of a bank to a related party. Until August 2013 a related party was defined as banks affiliates and related individuals, affiliate meaning any entity over which a bank, directly or indirectly, has
control, is controlled by, or is under common control with, or any entity over which a bank has, directly or indirectly, significant influence with respect to such entitys corporate decisions, and related individuals meaning
banks directors, senior management, syndics (síndicos) and such persons direct relatives. On August 9, 2013, the Argentine Central Bank issued the Communication A 5472, through which the definition of
related parties was modified and broadened.

The Argentine Central Bank limits the level of total financial exposure that a bank can have
outstanding to related parties, depending on the rating granted to each bank by the Superintendency. Banks rated 4 or 5 are forbidden to extend financial assistance to related parties. For banks ranked between 1 and 3, the financial assistance
without guarantees to related parties cannot exceed, together with any equity participation held by the bank in its affiliates, 5% of such banks RPC. The bank may increase its financing to such related parties up to an amount equal to 10% of
such banks RPC if the financial assistance is secured.

However, a bank may grant additional financial assistance to such related
parties up to the following limits:



| |  | Individual maximum limits for customers over which a bank has control
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the aggregate amount of a
banks total financial exposure to its related parties, except for the ones subject to individual maximum limits higher than 10% (complementary services companies), may not exceed 20% of such banks RPC.

Notwithstanding the limitations described above, financial assistance is also limited in order to prevent risk concentration. To that end, a
banks aggregate amount of non-exempt total financial exposure (including equity interests) independently of whether customers qualify as such banks related parties or not, in the case in which such exposure exceeds 10% of such
banks RPC, may not exceed three times the banks RPC excluding total financial exposure to domestic financial institutions, or five times the banks RPC, including such exposure.

For a second floor financial institution (i.e. a financial institution which only provides financial products to other banks and not to the
public) the latter limit is 10 times the banks RPC.

Banco Galicia has historically complied with such rules.

Loan Classification System and Loan Loss Provisions

For a description of the Argentine Central Banks loan classification system and the Argentine Central Banks minimum loan loss
provisions requirements, see -Selected Statistical Information-Main Argentine Central Banks Rules on Loan Classification and Loan Loss Provisions.

Limitation on fees and other substantial elements

On June 10, 2014, the Argentine Central Bank issued a series of Communications which set forth: (i) the requirement for an
authorization to increase certain fees (Communication A 5685) and (ii) an alternative method for expressing the total financial cost of a loan, which going forward will be expressed as an annual nominal rate applicable to the loans
granted (Communication A 5592).

Valuation of Public Sector Assets

Since March 1, 2011, the Argentine Central Bank amended the valuation criterion applicable to holdings of public sector debt according to
the probable allocation of the assets:



| | (a) | Fair value: the difference between the corresponding market price of the debt instruments (market value or present value), and the net book value of the offset account; it is applicable to debt instruments included in
the list of volatilities or present values published by the Argentine Central Bank.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Cost plus yield: the debt instruments not included in the list mentioned in a) above, are registered at incorporation value increased on an exponential basis according to their internal rate of return.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Foreign Currency Position

Through several communications, the Argentine Central Bank suspended, effective May 1, 2005, the limit on the positive Global Foreign
Currency Net Position (defined as assets and liabilities from financial brokerage and securities denominated in foreign currencies) established at the lowest of 30% of a banks RPC or a banks liquid shareholders equity as of the end
of the previous month. Although, at that moment the Argentine Central Bank kept the limit on the negative foreign currency net position at 30% of a banks RPC, through Communication A 4577, issued on September 28, 2006, and
effective January 1, 2007, it established that this position should not exceed 15% of the RPC of the preceding month. Subsequently, through Communication A 4598, dated November 17, 2006, the Argentine Central Bank allowed, in
certain cases, the limit to increase by 15%. Communication A 4577 also clarified that participation certificates or debt securities issued by financial trusts and credit rights on ordinary trusts, in the corresponding proportion, should
be calculated when the trusts underlying assets are denominated in foreign currency.

In February 2014, the Argentine Central Bank
established limits on a banks net position in foreign currency, setting a cap equivalent to 30% of its computable regulatory capital or its own liquid resources, whichever is less, and a second cap equivalent to 10% of its computable
regulatory capital for positions in forward transactions. In September 2014, the Argentine Central Bank reduced the above mentioned cap to 20% of the banks computable regulatory capital or its own liquid resources. This cap was further
modified during fiscal year 2015 and the first months of fiscal year 2016. Since April 2016, this cap was set at 10%.

Furthermore, in
January 2016, the Argentine Central Bank amended the existing rules excluding certain specific assets from the formula used to calculate the global net position in foreign currency.

Deposit Insurance System

In 1995,
Law No. 24,485 and Decree No. 540/95, as amended, created a deposit insurance system for bank deposits and delegated to the Argentine Central Bank the organization and start-up of the deposit insurance system. The deposit insurance system
was implemented through the creation of a fund named Fondo de Garantía de los Depósitos(FGD), which is administered by Seguros de Depósitos S.A. (Sedesa). The shareholders of Sedesa are the
Argentine government, through the Argentine Central Bank, which holds at least one share, and a trust constituted by the financial institutions which participate in the fund. The Argentine Central Bank establishes the extent of participation by each
institution in proportion to the resources contributed by each such institution to the FGD. Banks must contribute to the FGD on a monthly basis. The deposit insurance system covers all Peso and foreign currency deposits held in demand deposit
accounts, savings accounts and time deposits. The Argentine Central Bank may modify, at any time, and with general scope, the amount of the mandatory deposit guarantee insurance.

Decree No. 1,292/96, enhanced Sedesas functions to allow it to provide equity capital or make loans to Argentine financial
institutions experiencing difficulties and to institutions that buy such financial institutions or their deposits. As a result of such decree, Sedesa has the flexibility to intervene in the restructuring of a financial institution experiencing
difficulties prior to bankruptcy.

##### Table of Contents

Through its Communication A 5641, dated October 6, 2014, the Argentine Central
Bank increased the maximum limit to cover the risk associated with bank deposits through the Deposit Insurance Fund. Said limit was set at Ps.120,000 until the end of October 2014, and increased to Ps.350,000 in November 2014. In addition, the
Communication increased the monthly contribution of financial entities to said fund to 0.06% of the monthly average of deposits, beginning in November 2014 (previous contribution: 0.015%).

On April 7, 2016, through its Communication A 5943, the Argentine Central Bank resolved to update the above mentioned
amounts, increasing the maximum limit to cover the risk associated with bank deposits to Ps.450,000, beginning in April 2016 and decreasing to 0.015% the monthly contribution, beginning in May 2016.

Priority Rights of Depositors

According to Section 49 (e) of the Financial Institutions Law, in the event of a judicial liquidation or the bankruptcy of a
financial entity, the holders of deposits in Pesos and foreign currency benefit from a general priority right to obtain repayment of their deposits up to the amount set forth below, with priority over all other creditors, with the exception of the
following: (i) credits secured by a mortgage or pledge, (ii) rediscounts and overdrafts granted to financial entities by the Argentine Central Bank, according to Section 17 subsections (b), (c) and (f) of the Argentine
Central Bank Charter, (iii) credits granted by the Banking Liquidity Fund created by Decree No. 32 of December 26, 2001, secured by a mortgage and pledge and (iv) certain labor credits, including accrued interest until their
total cancellation.

The holders of the following deposits are entitled to the general preferential right established by the Financial
Institutions Law in the following order:



| | (a) | deposits of individuals or entities up to Ps.50,000 or the equivalent thereof in foreign currency, with only one person per deposit being able to use this preference. For the determination of this preference, all
deposits of the same person registered by the entity shall be computed;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | deposits in excess of Ps.50,000 or the equivalent thereof in foreign currency, referred to above;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | liabilities originated on commercial credit lines granted to the financial entity, which are directly related with international trade.
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to the Financial Institutions Law, the preferences set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, are not applicable to
deposits held by persons who are affiliates of the financial entity, either directly or indirectly as determined by the Argentine Central Bank.

In addition, under Section 53 of the Financial Institutions Law, the Argentine Central Bank has an absolute priority over all other
creditors of the entity except as provided by the Financial Institutions Law.

Financial Institutions with Economic Difficulties

The Financial Institutions Law establishes that financial institutions, including commercial banks such as Banco Galicia, which evidence a
deficiency in their cash reserves, have not complied with certain required technical standards, including minimum capital requirements, or whose solvency or liquidity is deemed to be impaired by the Argentine Central Bank must submit a restructuring
plan to the Argentine Central Bank. Such restructuring plan must be presented to the Argentine Central Bank on the date specified by the Argentine Central Bank, which should not be later than 30 calendar days from the date on which the request is
made by the Argentine Central Bank. In order to facilitate the implementation of a restructuring plan, the Argentine Central Bank is authorized to provide a temporary exemption from compliance with technical regulations and/or the payment of charges
and fines that arise from such non-compliance.

The Argentine Central Bank may also, in relation to a restructuring plan presented by a
financial institution, require such financial institution to provide guarantees or limit the distribution of profits, and appoint a supervisor, to oversee such financial institutions management, with the power to veto decisions taken by the
financial institutions corporate authorities.

In addition, the Argentine Central Banks charter authorizes the
Superintendency, subject only to the prior approval of the president of the Argentine Central Bank, to suspend for up to 30 days, in whole or in part, the operations of a financial institution if its liquidity or solvency have been adversely
affected. Notice of this decision must be given to the board of directors of the Argentine Central Bank. If at the end of such suspension period the Superintendency considers it is necessary to renew it, it can only be authorized by the board of
directors of the

##### Table of Contents

Argentine Central Bank, for an additional period not to exceed 90 days. During the suspension period: (i) there is an automatic stay of claims, enforcement actions and precautionary
measures; (ii) any commitment increasing the financial institutions liabilities is void, and (iii) acceleration of indebtedness and interest accrual is suspended.

If, in the judgment of the Argentine Central Bank, a financial institution is in a situation which, under the Financial Institutions
Law, would authorize the Argentine Central Bank to revoke the financial institutions license to operate as such, the Argentine Central Bank may, prior to considering such revocation, order a variety of measures, including (1) taking steps
to reduce, increase or sell the financial institutions capital; (2) revoking the approval granted to the shareholders of the financial institution to own an interest therein, giving a term for the transfer of such shares;
(3) excluding and transferring assets and liabilities; (4) constituting trusts with part or all the financial institutions assets; (5) granting of temporary exemptions to comply with technical regulations and/or pay charges and
fines arising from such defective compliance; or (6) appointing a bankruptcy trustee and removing statutory authorities.

Furthermore, any actions authorized, commissioned or decided by the Argentine Central Bank under Section 35 bis of the Financial
Institutions Law, involving the transfer of assets and liabilities, or complementing it, or necessary to execute the restructuring of a financial institution, as well as those related to the reduction, increase and sale of equity, are not subject to
any court authorization and cannot be deemed inefficient in respect of the creditors of the financial institution which was the owner of the excluded assets, even though its insolvency preceded any of such actions.

Dissolution and Liquidation of Financial Institutions

The Argentine Central Bank must be notified of any decision to dissolve a financial institution pursuant to the Financial Institutions Law. The
Argentine Central Bank, in turn, must then notify a court of competent jurisdiction which will determine who will liquidate the entity (the corporate authorities or an appointed, independent liquidator). This determination is based on whether or not
sufficient assurances exist regarding the ability of such corporate authorities to carry out the liquidation properly.

Pursuant to the
Financial Institutions Law, the Argentine Central Bank no longer acts as liquidator of financial institutions. However, when a restructuring plan has failed or is not considered viable, local and regulatory violations exist, or substantial changes
have occurred in the financial institutions condition since the original authorization was granted, the Argentine Central Bank may decide to revoke the license of the financial institution to operate as such. In this case, the law allows
judicial or extrajudicial liquidation as in the case of voluntary liquidation described in the preceding paragraph.

The bankruptcy of a
financial institution cannot be adjudicated until the license is revoked by the Argentine Central Bank. No creditor, with the exception of the Argentine Central Bank, may request the bankruptcy of the former financial institution before 60 days have
elapsed since the revocation of its license.

Credit Cards Regulation

The Credit Cards Law establishes the general framework for credit card activities. Among other regulations, this law:



| |  |  | sets a 3% cap on the rate a credit card company can charge merchants for processing customer card holders transactions with such merchants, calculated as a percentage of the customers purchases. With respect
to debit cards, the cap is set at 1.5% and the amounts relating to the customers purchases should be processed in a maximum of 3 business days;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | establishes that credit card companies must provide the Argentine Central Bank with the information on their loan portfolio that such entity requires; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | sets a cap on the interest rate a credit card company can charge a card holder, which cannot exceed by more than 25% the average interest rate charged by the issuer on personal loans and, for non-bank issuers, it cannot
exceed by more than 25% the financial systems average interest rate on personal loans (published by the Argentine Central Bank).

The Argentine Central Bank has issued regulations to enforce public disclosure of companies
pricing (fees and interest rates) to ensure consumer awareness of such pricing.

In addition, during 2014 the Argentine Central Bank
issued a series of regulations in order to establish caps on interest rates on personal loans, pledge loans and credit card loans, as well as to establish a requirement for an authorization to increase fees.

On December 17, 2015, through its Communiqué A 5834, the Argentine Central Bank removed the regulations in force
related to the limits on interest rates on lending transactions.

Concealment and Laundering of Assets of a Criminal Origin

Law No. 25,246 (as amended in July 2011 by Law No. 26,683) incorporates money laundering as a crime under the Argentine
Criminal Code. Additionally, with the goal of preventing money laundering, the UIF was created under the jurisdiction of the Argentine Ministry of Justice, Security and Human Rights. The main consequence of such modification is that money laundering
is now classified as a separate offense.

The new legislation removes which did not participate from the previous crime
figure, thus now penalizing self-laundering. Also, it eliminates the need for the goods to originate from a crime, as it is now sufficient that goods emanate from a criminal offense.

The new standard falls under Article 303 of the Argentine Penal Code in the chapter titled Crimes against economic and financial
order.

The minimum and maximum of the criminal scale will be doubled when (i) the foregoing acts were crimes that are
particularly serious, meaning those crimes with a punishment that is greater than three years of imprisonment; (ii) the perpetrator committed the crime for profit; and (iii) the perpetrator regularly performs concealment activities. The
criminal scale will only be increased once, even when more than one of the above-mentioned acts occurs. In such a case the court may take into consideration the multiple acts when individualizing the punishment.

In addition, the regulations establish that: (i) within the framework of a review of reported suspicious activity, the person that is
required by the UIF to provide information may not withhold it claiming such information is a banking, stock market or professional secret nor because it is legally or contractually confidential; (ii) if after having completed its analysis of
the reported activity, the UIF has found sufficient elements to suspect that the activity is a money laundering operation pursuant to the law, then the UIF shall notify the Public Ministry in order to determine if a criminal prosecution should
begin; and (iii) those persons who have acted for their spouse, any relative that is related by blood up to the fourth degree or by marriage up to the second degree or a close friend or a person to whom they owe special gratitude, shall be
exempted from criminal responsibility.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the Argentine Criminal Code, the exemption shall not be
effective in the following cases: (i) with respect to a person who secures or helps the perpetrator of or a participant in a crime to secure the product or profit of the crime; (ii) with respect to a perpetrator that committed the crime
for profit; (iii) with respect to a perpetrator that regularly performs concealment activities; or (iv) with respect to a person that converts, transfers, administers, sells, encumbers or uses money or any other asset derived from any
crime in which he was not involved, with the possible result of giving those original or secondary assets the appearance of having a legal origin and as long as their value is greater than Ps.50,000, whether through a single act or through a series
of related events.

The law lists the parties that are obligated to report to the UIF; which include, among others: financial
institutions, agents and stock companies, insurance companies, notary publics and those registered professionals whose activities are governed by the Consejo de Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas (Economic Sciences Professional
Council), companies that receive donations or capital contribution for over Ps.50.000 and companies that organize and regulate professional sport events.

Banco Galicia formed the Committee for the Control and Prevention of Money
Laundering, the name of which was changed in 2005 to the Committee for the Control and Prevention of Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorist Activities, which is responsible for establishing and maintaining the general guidelines
for Banco Galicias strategy to control and prevent money laundering and the financing of terrorism. For more information, see Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees-Functions of the Board of Directors of Banco Galicia.
Also, we have appointed two directors to fulfill the roles of Compliance Officer and substitute Compliance Officer. In addition, a unit specializing in this area was created, the Anti-Money Laundering Unit, which is responsible for the execution of
the policies passed by the committee and for the monitoring of control systems and procedures in order to ensure that they are adequate. CFA also has a Committee for the Control and Prevention of Money Laundering.

The guide for unusual or suspicious transactions within the scope of the financial and foreign exchange system (passed by
Resolution No. 121/2011 of the UIF) establishes the obligation to report, among others, the following investment related transactions: (i) investments related to purchases of government or corporate securities given in custody to the
financial institution if such securities value appears to be inappropriate due to the type of business of the client; (ii) deposits or back to back loan transactions with branches, subsidiaries or affiliates of the bank in
places known to be tax havens or countries or territories considered by the Financial Action Task Force as non-cooperative, (iii) client requests for investment management services (whether in foreign currency, shares or trusts)
where the source of the funds is not clear or is not consistent with its business; (iv) significant and unusual movements in custodial accounts; (v) frequent use by infrequent clients of special investment accounts whose owner is the
financial entity; and (vi) regular securities transactions, through purchases and sales on the same day and for identical volumes and nominal values, taking advantage of quotation differences, when such transactions are not consistent with the
clients profile and regular activity. Such reporting obligation generally consists of performing due diligence in order to get to know the client and to understand the corresponding transaction and also, if applicable, to report any irregular
or suspicious activity to the UIF, pursuant to the terms and conditions established by the regulation applicable to such obligated party.

Law No. 26,734 enacted on December 22, 2011, incorporated terrorism financing and the financing of terrorism as an aggravating
circumstance to all criminal conduct in the Argentine Criminal Code.

Such law punishes any individual who either directly or indirectly
collects or provides goods or money with the intention of being used, or knowing that they will be used, in whole or in part (i) to finance committing a crime with the purpose established in Section 41.5, (ii) for an organization who
commits or attempts to commit crimes with the purpose established in Section 41.5 and (iii) for a person who commits or attempts to commit or participates in any way with committing crimes with the purpose established in Section 41.5.

The new legislation also punishes terrorism as an aggravating factor in other punishable crimes when any such offense was committed in
order to terrorize the population.

related notes included elsewhere in this annual report.

Overview

In the last years, in order to increase our recurrent earnings generation capacity, we have undertaken to expand the volume of our business
with the private sector.



-88-



---

##### Table of Contents

We have increased our customer base and our fee-based business and financial intermediation
activities with the private sector, strengthening our position as a leading domestic private-sector financial institution. In addition, our total deposits and loan origination increased.

We have increased our regulatory capital through the purchase of CFA and through internal origination. The increase in our overall level of
activity, which led to the above-mentioned increase in the volume of our fee based business and financial intermediation with the private sector, has had a positive impact on our net financial income and on our net income from services. Loan loss
provisions increased due to the deterioration of individuals loan portfolios and also due to the worsening of the economic condition.

In spite of the recent slowdown in the Argentine economy, Banco Galicia has managed to expand its business with the private sector and to
improve its income generation, while strengthening its financial condition, maintaining an adequate coverage of its credit risks and maintaining a healthy asset quality.

In summary, in recent years, our operating profitability was positively impacted by the growth of our business - both the financial
intermediation and fee-based businesses - with the private sector, in a continued low credit risk environment, but within a context of growing inflation. Fiscal year 2016 is expected to be a challenging year of transition at the local level as there
are certain macroeconomic inbalances to be solved, such as a significant fiscal deficit, high levels of inflation and the uncertainty of access to the international capital market on attractive conditions, together with a more volatile world
economy, falling prices of certain commodities, and the slowdown of economic activity in Brazil, all of which could negatively impact the Argentine economy.

The Argentine Economy

In 2015, the international economic environment created a challenging environment for emerging economies in general, deepening the downward
trend of financial assets, commodities and currencies that began to appear at the end of 2014. Certain slowdowns in the expansionist direction of the monetary policy of developed economies and renewed doubts about the pace of growth of the global
economy created an increase in investors risk aversion and a turnaround of capital flows in the emerging world.

According to the
World Economic Outlook, developed economies grew at an estimate rate of 1.9% in 2015. The growth rates of the United States and Spain stood out, with growth rates of 2.5% and 3.2%, respectively. Europe ended the year with a growth rate of 1.5% and
an estimated growth rate of 1.7% for both 2016 and 2017. In turn, the emerging economies continued decreasing their pace of growth, growing by 4.0% in 2015, and with projected growth rates of 4.3% and 4.7% for 2016 and 2017, respectively.

The strong expectation to the rise in the reference rate by the U.S. Federal Reserve during all of 2015  which finally took place in
December  correlated with a Dollar appreciation by 9%, as compared to the other developed currencies, and 16%, as compared to the currencies of emerging countries. Meanwhile, Latin American currencies depreciated by 24%, on average, as
compared to the Dollar throughout the year. This Dollar appreciation affected the price of raw materials, whose general index decreased by 25%. In turn, the companies market value was characterized by a high volatility and reflected a global
loss of 4.1%, with a 2.6% and 17% decline in developed and emerging markets, respectively. The local market operated the other way round, due to imbalances in key macroeconomic variables (such as a significant fiscal deficit and high levels of
inflation), accumulated over the last years. The Merval index achieved a 36% rise in the year.

In 2015, the Argentine economy achieved
certain recovery during the first half of the year, after a recessionary 2014. Some private estimates reflect a growth in the economic activity of around 1.7%, a figure that contrasts with the 2.6% drop noted in 2014. Economic activity decreased
towards the end of fiscal year 2015, leaving no statistical drag for 2016.

It is noteworthy that the economic activity figures, like the
other statistical series prepared by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC, as per its initials in Spanish), were discontinued in last December by the new national administration, in order for the state of administrative emergency
of the National Statistics System to review and readjust the series previously published. The figures are not expected to be relaunched until mid-2016.

##### Table of Contents

In terms of the local market, the recovery in economic activity during the first half of 2015
began having a positive impact on employment dynamics. The unemployment rate for the third quarter of 2015  the last available data  stood at 5.9% of the economically active population, down from 7.5% in the same quarter of 2014. The
employment statistics published by the INDEC are also under analysis.

In the monetary area, the main monetary aggregates accelerated
their pace, surpassing the nominal growth of the economy. The monetary base of the Argentine government ended the year with an annual 35% expansion, 12 p.p. above the 2014 growth. Particularly, the monetary base increased by Ps.161,325 million,
which was almost exclusively due to the increased financing provided to the National Treasury (Ps.177,926 million) and, to a lesser extent, the item Other (Ps.57,597 million), particularly significant in 2015, as a result of the
settlement of Dollar-denominated futures contracts after the devaluation of the Peso. This expansion was partially offset by the sale of foreign currencies, which resulted in absorption of Ps.71,822 million in the year. In addition, repurchase
agreement transactions increased by Ps.5,777 million, while transactions related to Argentine Central Bank Bills and Notes (Lebacs and Nobacs, respectively) decreased by Ps.8,734 million. This trend was also reflected in the performance of the
private-sector M2 (money in circulation and deposits in savings and checking accounts that belong to the private sector), which grew 31% in 2015, as compared to 28% in 2014. On the other hand, total M2 (including deposits from the public sector)
ended 2015 with a 29% increase, after also increasing by 29% in the prior year.

Domestic interest rates evolved at the pace of the
expectations regarding the evolution of the foreign exchange market. During the first half of 2015, the foreign exchange stability and the banks restored liquidity allowed keeping rates relatively stable. However, interest rates on time
deposits ended 2015 at levels highly above those in the first months of the year, which reflects the increasing foreign exchange stress and the rise in the Argentine Central Banks reference rates during the last weeks of 2015. In particular,
the Badlar interest rate, which reached a low of 19.6%, in January, averaged approximately 27% in December.

The reference exchange rate
established by the Argentine Central Bank increased from Ps.8,552 to Ps.13,005 per Dollar between December 30, 2014 and December 31, 2015, reflecting a 52% depreciation in the Peso vis-à-vis the Dollar; while the average exchange
rate increased from Ps.8.12 per Dollar in 2014 to Ps.9.27 per Dollar in 2015.

According to private estimates, inflation in 2015 was
approximately 27%, considerably below the 2014 levels of 40% interannually. In particular, the Consumer Price Index of the City of Buenos Aires (IPCBA, as per its initials in Spanish)  an alternative inflation measure proposed by
the INDEC after it discontinued its index  reflected a 27% increase in prices in 2015, down from a 38% increase in prices a year ago.

In the fiscal area, tax revenues, including social security, increased by 30% as of November 2015 (the latest data available as of the date of
preparation of this document), as compared to the inter-annual 36% expansion in 2014. On the other hand, primary expenditures increased by 35% on an annual basis in 2015. Thus, the Argentine public sector recorded a primary deficit (including
extraordinary resources derived from the ANSES (National Social Security Administration) and the Argentine Central Bank) amounting to Ps.70,448 million in the first 11 months of the year, equivalent to 1.5% of the Gross Domestic Product
(GDP). This reflects a worsening, as compared to the primary deficit in the same period of 2014 (0.4% of GDP), amounting to Ps.15,225 million. After interest payments accumulated up to November to Ps.96,080 million, the financial deficit
for 2015 amounted to Ps.166,528 million, equivalent to 3.4% of GDP.

Regarding the external sector, during 2015, the foreign exchange
balance current account published by the Argentine Central Bank data regarding the balance of payments (on an accrued basis) was discontinued by the INDEC  reached a deficit amounting to US$11,593 million, which represents a significant
worsening from the US$2,350 million reported in 2014. The current account deficit, measured in terms of GDP, stood at about 2% in 2015. This worsening was partly due to a decrease in the years balance of trade surplus, the positive balance of
which amounted to US$3,547 million, US$5,388 million lower than the amount reached in 2014.

In particular, revenues from the export of
goods amounted to US$57,012 million in 2015, which represents an 18% decrease as compared to the level noted in the prior year, and which figure represented the lowest revenues obtained from the export of goods during the prior six years. The
largest decrease was noted in the oil seeds, oils and cereals sector, which showed collections from exports that were 26% lower than the revenues in the same period of the prior year, mainly due to a decrease in international prices for the most
important commodities for the country (soy, soy flour, corn and wheat).

On the other hand, payments in respect of the importation of goods amounted to US$53,465 million
in 2015, which represented a decrease of 12% (approximately US$7,200 million) as compared to 2014. This decrease was caused by both declines in the level of foreign purchases and an increase in the estimated debt incurred for these items. A decline
in the payments for the importation of goods was noted all of the countrys main activity sectors, with the largest impact noted in the energy and automotives sectors where payments for imports were 37% and 12% lower than those noted in 2014,
respectively.

Furthermore, the data of the Argentine Trade Exchange (ICA, as per its initials in Spanish) showed a
considerable decrease in exports and imports (on an accrued basis) in 2015, resulting in a trade deficit of US$3,035 million, after 15 years of a trade surplus.

In particular, exports (on an accrued basis) declined 17% as compared to 2014, totaling US$56,752 million, as a result of a 16% decrease in
prices and 1% decrease in quantities. All large industries  Commodities, Agriculture and Livestock Manufacture (MOA, as per its initials in Spanish), Industrial Manufacture (MOI, as per its initials in Spanish) and
Fuels and Energy  had lower revenues from exports. Whereas both prices and quantities decreased for MOI and Fuels and Energy, the decrease for Commodities and MOA resulted from a considerable drop in prices, offset by an increase in
quantities.

The value of imports (on an accrued basis) for 2015 (US$59,787 million) was 8% lower than that in 2014 due to a 13% decrease
in prices and a 5% increase in quantities. The lower value of imports was mainly caused by the decrease in the prices for fuels and lubricants.

Within this environment, the non-financial private sectors capital account (as per estimates made by the single free exchange market or
MULC, as per its initials in Spanish) posted a net foreign currency outflow of US$5,961 million in 2015, as compared to a net outflow of US$237 million in 2014. As of December 31, 2015, the Argentine Central Banks
international reserves amounted to US$25,563 million, US$5,879 million below what was noted as of December 31, 2014.

The Argentine Financial System

In 2015, financial brokerage activity increased its rate of growth, reversing its 2014 trend. Accordingly, the financial systems depth
measured by the loans-to-private-sector to GDP ratio increased by 1.7 p.p. in 2015 to 16.5%.

Total loans to the private sector in the
financial system increased 37.2% in 2015 as compared to 2014, reaching Ps.812,837 million. The type of private sector loans that increased the most were consumer credit lines, made up of loans extended through credit cards and personal loans, which
increased by 47.4% in 2015 as compared to 2014 to Ps.355,922 million. Commercial loans, mainly made up of advances, promissory notes and discounted and purchased notes, increased by 35.7% in 2015 as compared to 2014 to Ps.304,005 million. Collateral
loans increased by 22.6% in 2015 as compared to 2014 to , with a final balance of Ps.40,304 million, while mortgage loans increased by 15.9% in 2015 as compared to 2014 to Ps.56,530 million. In turn, loans to the public sector accounted for 9.9% of
total assets as of November 2015 (the last data available), increasing 1.8 p.p. interannually.

The financial systems total deposits
increased 37.7% during the year, reaching Ps.1,335,662 million. Deposits from the non-financial private sector increased 47.3%, amounting to Ps.1,048,300 million, whereas deposits from the public sector reached Ps.286,908 million, an increase of
12.1%. Within deposits from the private sector, transactional deposits increased 37.6% to Ps.509,521 million, while time deposits increased 60.7% to Ps.508,454 million.

The average interest rate paid by private banks in December 2015 for time deposits denominated in Pesos of up to 59 days was 27.9%, reflecting
an increase of 648 b.p. interannually. For the same period, the lending rate applicable to advances was 34.5% (+365 b.p.) and to promissory notes was 30.6% (+447 b.p.).

In November 2015, financial institutions slightly decreased their liquidity levels (in relation
to total deposits) as compared to the prior year, with an average rate of 24.9%, as compared to 26.7% in the same month of the prior year. In terms of financial standing, the Argentine financial systems net worth increased by Ps.54,335 million
in 2015 as compared to 2014, which represents an increase of 33.0%. The systems profitability was equivalent to 4.0% of total assets (-0.3 p.p.), while its return on shareholders equity was 31.4% (-2.2 p.p.).

During the first 11 months of 2015, income from interest and income from services represented 5.4% and 4.2% of total assets, respectively. In
turn, administrative expenses increased from 7.4% to 7.6% of total assets, while provisions for loan losses decreased to 0.9% of total assets from 1.0% in November 2014.

The non-accrual loan portfolio to the non-financial private sector reached 1.7% in November 2015, 0.3 p.p. below the same month of the
previous year. The coverage of the private-sector non-accrual loan portfolio with allowances increased to 146% from 140% in November 2014.

As of December 31, 2015, the financial system was composed of 78 financial institutions, considering both banks and non-banking
institutions. Of these 78 financial institutions, 62 were banks, of which 49 were private banks. Of the l49 private banks, 32 were domestic-owned private banks and 17 were foreign-owned banks. There were 13 government-owned banks and 16 non-banking
financial institutions.

The concentration of the financial system, measured by the market share of private sector deposits of the ten
leading banks, reached 76% as of December 31, 2015.

Based on information as of December 31, 2015, the Argentine financial
systems banks employed a total of 108,312 people, representing a 2.2% increase from December 31, 2014.

The
Argentine Insurance Industry

The insurance industry continued to grow on the financial period 2015. Production amounted to Ps.153,322
million, 40.7% higher than in 2014. Out of the total insurance production, 81% related to property insurance, 17% related to life and personal insurance and 2% related to retirement insurance. Within the 81% corresponding to property insurance, the
automotive insurance segment comprised the most significant portion with 44% of property insurance, followed by the workers compensation segment with 35%.

Within the life insurance business, group life insurance represented 68% of the segment, followed by individual life insurance, representing
14%, and personal accident insurance, representing 13%.

Inflation

Historically, inflation in Argentina has played a significant role in influencing, often negatively, the economic conditions in Argentina and,
in turn, the operations and financial results of companies operating in Argentina, such as Grupo Financiero Galicia.

In fiscal year 2015,
due to changes in the authorities at the Institute of Statistics, the WPI and CPI series were discontinued beginning in October 2015 until further notice.

The chart below presents a comparison of inflation rates published by INDEC, measured by the WPI and the CPI, for the fiscal years 2015, 2014
and 2013. In 2015, annual variation of the CPI was calculated using the Consumer Price Index of the City of Buenos Aires, an alternative measure of inflation proposed by INDEC after it discontinued its index. No data was published for WPI.

Funding of our long position in CER-adjusted assets through Peso-denominated liabilities bearing a market interest rate
(and no principal adjustment linked to inflation) exposes us to differential fluctuations in the inflation rate and in market interest rates, with a significant increase in market interest rates vis-à-vis the inflation rate (which is
reflected in the CER variation) having a negative impact on our net financial income.

Two other currencies have been defined apart from
the Argentine Peso: assets and liabilities adjusted by CER and foreign currency. Banco Galicias policy in force establishes limits in terms of maximum net asset positions (assets denominated in a currency which are higher than the
liabilities denominated in such currency) and net liability positions (assets denominated in a currency which are lower than the liabilities denominated in such currency) for mismatches in Pesos adjusted by CER and in foreign currency,
as a proportion of Banco Galicias RPC, on a consolidated basis.

An adequate balance between assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currency characterizes the management strategy for this risk factor, seeking to achieve full coverage of long-term asset-liability mismatches and allowing a short-term mismatch management margin that contributes to the possibility of
improving certain market situations. Short- and long-term goals are attained by appropriately managing assets and liabilities and by using the financial products available in our market, particularly dollar futures both in
institutionalized markets (MAE and ROFEX) and in forward transactions performed with customers.

The return on average assets and the return on average shareholders equity for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 were 3.83%
and 35.54%, respectively, as compared to 3.85% and 39.07%, respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and to 2.91% and 32.47%, respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

December 31, 2014, representing Ps.1,000 million or 30% increase. Such increase was primarily attributable to:



| |  |  | a Ps.5,984 million increase in financial income, from Ps.19,860 million to Ps.25,844 million,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | a Ps.563 million increase in income from insurance activities, from Ps.1,238 million to Ps.1,801 million, and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a Ps.197 million decrease in provisions for loan losses and other receivables, from Ps.2,411 million to Ps.2,214 million.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Such changes were partially offset by:



| |  |  | a Ps.3,081 million increase in financial expenses, from Ps.10,321 million to Ps.13,402 million,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a Ps.3,684 million increase in administrative expenses, from Ps.9,221 million to Ps.12,905 million, and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a Ps.809 million increase in income tax, from Ps.1,992 million to Ps.2,801 million.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The
growth in income as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014, was mainly due to the increase in operating income (net financial income plus net income from services), which increased due to the higher volume of intermediation with the
private sector, together with a 45% increase in income from insurance activities and an 8% decrease in provisions for loan losses due to the better behavior of the credit portfolio in arrears. This effect was offset by an increase of 40% in
administrative expenses, as a consequence of the increase in the level of activity and the evolution of costs.

Fiscal Year 2014 compared to Fiscal
Year 2013

Net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was Ps.3,338 million, as compared to Ps.1,824 million for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, representing a Ps.1,514 million or 83% increase. Such increase was primarily attributable to:



| |  |  | a Ps.6,784 million increase in financial income, from Ps.13,076 million to Ps.19,860 million,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a Ps.1,460 million increase in net income from services, from Ps.4,239 million to Ps.5,699 million, and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a Ps.333 million increase in income from insurance activities, from Ps.905 million to Ps.1,238 million.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Such changes were partially offset by:



| |  |  | a Ps.4,151 million increase in financial expenses, from Ps.6,170 million to Ps.10,321 million,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a Ps.635 million increase in provision for loan losses and other receivables, from Ps.1,776 million to Ps.2,411 million,
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a Ps.1,793 million increase in administrative expenses, from Ps.7,428 million to Ps.9,221 million, and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a Ps.760 million increase in income tax, from Ps.1,232 million to Ps.1,992 million.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The
growth in income as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, was mainly due to the increase in operating income (net financial income plus net income from services), which was higher than the 24% increase in administrative expenses. As a
consequence, there was an improvement in the efficiency ratio. The higher income included an increase in income from insurance activities, which increased 37%.

Fiscal Year 2015
compared to Fiscal Year 2014

Financial income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was Ps.25,844 million, as compared to
Ps.19,860 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, representing a 30% increase. Such increase was the result of a higher average volume of interest-earning assets and was partially offset by lower average yields.

The average of interest-earning assets increased Ps.24,456 million, from Ps.70,349 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 to
Ps.94,805 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, representing a 35% increase. Of this increase, Ps.18,735 million was due to an increase in the average loan portfolio and Ps.5,857 million was due to an increase in holdings of
government securities.

The average yield on interest-earning assets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was 25.78%, as
compared to 26.66% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, a 88 b.p. decrease that was a result of the 136 b.p. decrease in the average interest rate obtained from loans to the private sector, which decrease was partially offset by a 291
b.p. increase in the average yields obtained from government securities.

The average of loans to the private sector for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2015, amounted to Ps.77,807 million, a 32% increase as compared to the Ps.59,072 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Within the loans to the private sector segment (in final balances) increases of
Ps.18,912 million or 51% in credit cards, Ps.6,448 million or 40% in promissory notes and Ps.4,562 million or 114% in advances, stood out.

##### Table of Contents

Credit growth was influenced by projects that were undertaken pursuant to the Credit Line for
Productive Investment set forth by the Argentine Central Bank with the goal of financing investment projects and providing working capital for specific purposes and with certain characteristics. As of the end of fiscal year 2015, the outstanding
amount of loans related to this credit line reached Ps.9,727 million, reflecting an increase of Ps.2,860 million or 42% as compared to fiscal year 2014. The increased growth under this credit line was recorded in promissory notes for Ps.1,527
million and check purchases for Ps.954 million.

According to Argentine Central Bank information, as of December 31, 2015, Banco
Galicias estimated market share of loans to the private sector, excluding loans granted by the Regional Credit Card Companies, was 9.60% as of December 31, 2015, as compared to 8.76% as of December 31, 2014.

The average interest rate on total loans was 26.13% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to 27.49% for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2014.

The average interest rate earned on Peso-denominated loans to the private sector was 27.23% for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to 28.85% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, representing a 162 b.p. decrease. This interest rate was influenced by, among other things, loans that were undertaken pursuant to the
Credit Line for Productive Investment (with nominal annual fixed rates of 19.00% and 18.00% for the first and second part of the 2015 quota, respectively), and by the regulation issued by the Argentine Central Bank in June 2014 in order to establish
caps on interest rates on loans. On December 17, 2015, through its Communication A 5834, the Argentine Central Bank removed such limits.

The average position in government securities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was Ps.14,616 million, reflecting an increase
of 67% as compared to Ps.8,760 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as a consequence of the increase of Ps.4,185 million in the average position on Peso-denominated government securities and of Ps.1,671 million in the average
position on Dollar-denominated government bonds.

The increase in the average position in Pesos was due to higher balances in securities
issued by the Argentine Central Bank (Lebacs) and, to a lesser extent, in debt securities and treasury bills issued by different provinces (Buenos Aires and Neuquén, among others).

The increase in the average position in Dollar-denominated government securities was mainly due to the holdings of Lebacs as a consequence of
the regulation of the Argentine Central Bank, which allows the Bank to invest in this kind of instrument in relation to the foreign currency deposits taken.

The average yield on government securities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was 24.07%, as compared to 21.16% for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2014, a 290 b.p. increase, as a consequence of a higher average yield both in Pesos and in Dollars. Thus, the average interest rate on government securities denominated in Pesos for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2015 was 27.88%, as compared to 23.99% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, a 389 b.p. increase, mainly due to the higher average rate accrued on provincial treasury bills and debt securities, while the average
interest rate on government securities denominated in dollars increased 513 b.p. from 3.34% for fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 to 8.47% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

The average Other Interest-Earning Assets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was Ps.2,382 million, as compared to
Ps.2,517 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, representing a decrease of 5%. The average rate on this item for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was 24.90%, 164 b.p. lower as compared to 26.54% for the previous fiscal
year. This decrease was mainly attributable to the variation in the average rate of other Peso-denominated assets, which decreased to 25.97% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 from 27.67% for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2014.

The line item Other Financial Income recorded an increase of Ps.51 million, mainly due to the higher income from
foreign-currency forward transactions, up from Ps.830 million profit in fiscal year 2014 to Ps.917 million profit in fiscal year 2015. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, such line item included Ps.13 million profit from currency
quotation differences, composed of a Ps.241 million gain from foreign exchange brokerage activities and a Ps.228 million loss from the valuation of the foreign currency net position. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 the result from
currency quotation differences was negative and was disclosed under the item Other in the Financial Expenses table.

Fiscal Year 2014 compared to Fiscal Year 2013

Financial income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was Ps.19,860 million, as compared to Ps.13,076 million for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2013, representing a 52% increase. Such increase was the result of a higher average volume of interest-earning assets, together with a higher average yield.

The average of interest-earning assets increased Ps.16,189 million, from Ps.54,160 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 to
Ps.70,349 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, representing an increase of 30%.

The average yield on
interest-earning assets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was 26.66%, a 363 b.p. increase as a result of the growth reflected in the average interest rate of every interest-earning asset, primarily, loans to the private sector and
government securities.

Of this increase, Ps.11,160 million corresponded to an increase in the average size of the loan portfolio which
totaled Ps.59,072 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, 23% higher than the Ps.47,912 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to a Ps.9,959 million or 36% increase in credit cards
and a Ps.2,981 million or 22% increase in promissory notes.

Credit growth was influenced by projects that were undertaken pursuant to the
Credit Line for Productive Investment set forth by the Argentine Central Bank. As of the end of fiscal year 2014, the Bank complied with the loan placement pursuant to the conditions set forth by the Argentine Central Bank for the 2014 quota. The
amount to be granted by Banco Galicia was Ps.2,151 million for the first part of the 2014 quota and Ps.2,750 million for the second part of the 2014 quota.

According to Argentine Central Bank information, as of December 31, 2014, Banco Galicias estimated market share of loans to the
private sector, excluding loans granted by the Regional Credit Card Companies, was 8.76%, as compared to 8.78% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

The average interest rate on total loans was 27.49% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to 24.01% for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2013.

The average interest rate earned on Peso-denominated loans to the private sector was 28.85% for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to 25.28% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, representing a 357 b.p. increase. This interest rate was influenced by projects that were undertaken pursuant to the Credit Line for
Productive Investment (with nominal annual fixed rates of 17.50% and 19.50% for the first and second part of the 2014 quota, respectively), and by the regulation issued by the Argentine Central Bank in order to establish caps on interest rates on
personal loans, pledge loans and credit card loans.

The average interest rate earned on foreign currency denominated loans to the private
sector for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was 4.87%, as compared to 4.69% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, representing an 18 b.p. increase.

The average position in government securities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014
was Ps.8,760 million, as compared to the Ps.4,156 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, representing an increase of 111% as a consequence of the increase of Ps.3,806 million in the average position on Peso-denominated government
bonds and of Ps.798 million in the average position on Dollar-denominated government bonds. This variation was due to higher balances, mainly in securities issued by the Argentine Central Bank and, to a lesser extent, in bonds issued by the
Argentine government due in 2016, 2017 and 2019 and provincial treasury bills and debt securities.

The average yield on government
securities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was 21.16%, as compared to 14.33% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, a 683 b.p. increase, as a consequence of a higher average yield in Pesos. Thus, the average interest rate
on government securities denominated in Pesos for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was 23.99%, as compared to 15.13% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, a 886 b.p. increase, mainly due to the higher average rate accrued on
Lebac.

The average interest rate on government securities denominated in Dollars for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was
3.34%, as compared to 6.80% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, a 346 b.p. decrease, mainly due to the yield corresponding to provincial treasury bills and debt securities.

The average Other Interest-Earning Assets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was Ps.2,517 million, as compared to
Ps.2,092 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, representing an increase of 20%, mainly attributable to the higher average balance of financial investments carried out by the Regional Credit Card Companies, together with an
increase in the average balance of reverse repurchase agreement transactions.

The average rate on Other Interest-Earning
Assets for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was 26.54%, as compared to 17.77% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, an 877 b.p. increase. Such growth was attributable to the variation in the average rate of other
Peso-denominated assets, as such rate increased to 27.67% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 from 18.14% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, predominantly as a result of the higher yields on financial investments, in line
with the evolution of interest rates in the Argentine financial system. This return was offset by the decrease in the foreign currency average rate, from 8.78% to 3.42% for the same period.

In fiscal year 2014, the Other Financial Income line item reflected an increase of Ps.433 million, as compared to fiscal year
2013, mainly due to increased income from foreign-currency forward transactions, which amounts increased from Ps.578 million in fiscal year 2013 to Ps.830 million in fiscal year 2014. Such line item also reflected a Ps.13 million profit from
currency quotation differences, composed of a Ps.241 million gain from foreign exchange brokerage activities and a Ps.228 million loss from the valuation of the foreign currency net position. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 the
result from currency quotation differences was negative and was disclosed under the item Other in the Financial Expenses table.

Fiscal Year 2015 compared to Fiscal Year 2014

The financial expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 were Ps.13,402 million, as compared to Ps.10,321 million for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2014, a 30% increase. Such growth was attributable to a 27% increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.

The average interest-bearing liabilities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 were Ps.66,071 million, as compared to
Ps.52,081million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Such growth was attributable to the Ps.12,546 million higher total interest-bearing deposits (saving accounts and time deposits), which increased from Ps.40,415 million to Ps.52,961
million, and to the Ps.1,484 million increase in the average balance of debt securities, from Ps.8,976 million to Ps.10,460 million.

With
respect to the total average interest-bearing deposits for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, Ps.48,130 million were Peso-denominated deposits and Ps.4,831 million were Dollar-denominated deposits, as compared to Ps.37,140 million and
Ps.3,276 million, respectively, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Average Peso-denominated deposits recorded an increase of 30%, with a growth of 37% in savings accounts and 27% in time deposits. Average deposits in Dollars increased
47% during fiscal year 2015, with increases of 70% and 29% in savings accounts and time deposits, respectively; a portion of such growth is explained by the evolution of the exchange rate during the period, as the exchange rate for the Dollar
increased of 52% during 2015.

Using Argentine Central Bank information, considering only deposits from the private sector in checking and
savings accounts and time deposits, Banco Galicias estimated Argentine deposit market share was 9.65% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to 9.06% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Out of the total interest-bearing deposits (savings accounts and time deposits) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, the average
interest rate on time deposits stood out, which was 22.28% as compared to 21.80% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, a 48 b.p. increase. This interest rate was influenced by the passage of Communication A 5640 of the
Argentine Central Bank, which established beginning in October 2014 minimum interest rates for time deposits denominated in pesos corresponding to individuals (later companies were included) whose deposits do not exceed certain amounts.

Peso-denominated deposits (saving accounts and time deposits) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 accrued at a 17.77% average
interest rate, a 7 b.p. increase as compared to 17.70% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The rate of Dollar-denominated deposits for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was 1.24%, as compared to 1.07% for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2014, a 17 b.p. increase.

The average balance of debt securities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015
was Ps.10,460 million, an increase of Ps.1,484 million or 17% as compared to Ps.8,976 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. This growth was mainly attributable to the issuance of notes by Tarjeta Naranja, Tarjetas Cuyanas, CFA
and Grupo Financiero Galicia and to the variation in the quotation of the Dollar during the period and was partially offset by amortizations of outstanding notes during the fiscal year 2015.

The average interest rate for debt securities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015
was 17.65%, as compared to 16.54% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. This increase was mainly attributable to the increase in the interest rate on certain outstanding notes which, according to their contractual conditions, accrue
interest at a variable rate that is tied to the private Badlar rate.

The average balance of Other Interest-Bearing
Liabilities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was Ps.2,650 million, with an average rate of 20.34%, representing a decrease of 1% as compared to Ps.2,689 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, with an average
rate of 19.19%. This item includes mainly Peso and Dollar-denominated debt with local and international banks and credit entities, and Peso and Dollar-denominated obligations in connection with repurchase agreement transactions for government
securities.

representing a decrease of Ps.28 million or 4% as compared to Ps.779 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2015, financial expenses included a Ps.188 million loss from currency quotation differences,
composed of a Ps.538 million loss from the valuation of the foreign currency net position and a Ps.350 million gain from foreign exchange brokerage activities. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 the result from currency quotation

The average interest-bearing liabilities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 were Ps.52,081 million, as compared to Ps.39,779
million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Such growth was attributable to the Ps.9,080 million increase in total interest-bearing deposits, which increased from Ps.31,336 million to Ps.40,416 million, and to the Ps.2,625 million
increase in the average balance of debt securities, from Ps.6,351 million to Ps.8,976 million.

to the exchange rate evolution during the period.

2013.

The average rate on interest-bearing deposits (savings accounts and time deposits) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014
was 16.35%, as compared to 12.09% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, a 427 b.p. increase, attributable to the evolution of the interest rate on time deposits, which was in line with the financial system dynamics. Peso-denominated
deposits for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 accrued at a 17.70% average interest rate, as compared to 13.04% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, a 467 b.p. increase. The rate of Dollar-denominated deposits for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2014 was 1.07%, as compared to 0.70% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, a 36 b.p. increase.

or 41% as compared to Ps.6,351 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. This increase was mainly attributable to the issuance of notes by Tarjeta Naranja, Tarjetas Cuyanas, CFA and Grupo Financiero Galicia and to the variation in
the exchange rate for the Dollar during the period.

##### Table of Contents

The average interest rate for debt securities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014
was 16.54%, as compared to 13.70% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, this increase was mainly attributable to the increase in the interest rate on the subordinated debt securities issued by Banco Galicia, in accordance with their
contractual conditions.

The average balance of Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2014 was Ps.2,689 million, with an average rate of 19.19%, as compared to Ps.2,092 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, with an average rate of 16.97%. This item includes mainly Peso and Dollar-denominated debt with local and
international banks and credit entities, and Peso and Dollar-denominated obligations in connection with repurchase agreement transactions for government securities. The Ps.597 million increase in the average amount was mainly attributable to the
increase in the balance of debt with international banks and credit entities.

Likewise, the 222 b.p. growth recorded in the average rate
of Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities as compared to fiscal year 2013 was mainly related to transactions in Pesos, since the average interest rate in Pesos increased from 23.28% in fiscal year 2013 to 31.97% as of the end of fiscal year
2014, mainly due to the higher cost of funding for loans granted by local financial entities, principally attributable to the Regional Credit Card Companies. The average interest rate in dollars was 3.26%, a 19 b.p. decrease from the 3.45% recorded
a year before.

The item Other Financial Expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to Ps.779 million,
representing an increase of Ps.267 million or 52% as compared to Ps.512 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, mainly due to the increase in expenses related to foreign-currency forward transactions. It is worth mentioning that as
of December 31, 2013, financial expenses included a Ps.152 million loss from currency quotation differences, composed of a Ps.326 million loss from the valuation of the foreign currency net position and a Ps.174 million gain from foreign
exchange brokerage activities.

Net Financial Income

Fiscal Year 2015 compared to Fiscal Year 2014

Net financial income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was Ps.12,442 million, with a corresponding financial margin of 13.12%,
as compared to Ps.9,539 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, with a corresponding financial margin of 13.56%.

The
net financial income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (excluding the results from currency quotation differences and the results from foreign-currency forward transactions) amounted to Ps.11,712 million as compared to Ps.8,960
million income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, with a corresponding financial margin of 12.35% and 12.74%, respectively. This variation was attributable to a lower spread (defined as the difference between the average nominal
interest rate on interest-earning assets and the average nominal interest rate on interest-bearing liabilities) which decreased to 9.13% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 from 10.13% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014,
influenced by the lower interest rate accrued on loans (136 b.p.), as a consequence of loans that were undertaken pursuant to the Credit Line for Productive Investment and the regulation issued by the Argentine Central Bank in June 2014 in order to
establish caps on interest rates on loans (on December 17, 2015 through its Communication A 5834, the Argentine Central Bank removed such limits). This decrease was partially offset by a higher volume of intermediation.

Fiscal Year 2014 compared to Fiscal Year 2013

Net financial income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was Ps.9,539 million, with a corresponding financial margin of 13.56%, as
compared to Ps.6,906 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, with a corresponding financial margin of 12.75%.

The net
financial income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (excluding the results from currency quotation differences and the results from foreign-currency forward transactions) amounted to Ps.8,959 million as compared to Ps.6,480 million
income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, with a corresponding financial margin of 12.74% and 11.96%, respectively. This variation was attributable to a higher volume of transactions, offset by a lower spread (defined as the
difference between the average nominal interest rate on interest-earning assets and the average nominal interest rate on interest-bearing liabilities) which decreased to 10.13% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 from 10.43% for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Provision for Losses on Loans and Other Receivables

Fiscal Year 2015 compared to Fiscal Year 2014

Provisions for losses on loans and other receivables for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 were Ps.2,214 million, as compared to
Ps.2,411 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, a Ps.197 million decrease attributable to better performance of credits in arrears of both, the consumer and the commercial portfolio, partially offset by higher regulatory
provisions on the normal portfolio as a consequence of the increase in the size of the credit portfolio.

The non-accrual loan portfolio
as of December 31, 2015 represented 3.11% of total loans, recording a 0.46 p.p. improvement as compared to the 3.57% ratio recorded a year before. The coverage of the non-accrual portfolio with allowances increased from 105.78% as of
December 31, 2014 to 112.41% as of December 31, 2015. The improvement of both ratios as compared to the prior fiscal year is related to the better preformance of the portfolio during 2015. During 2015, Banco Galicia established allowances
for loan losses equal to Ps.2,128 million.

Direct charges, net of recoveries, represented a gain of Ps.226 million. Charge-offs against
allowances for loan losses were equal to Ps.1,203 million, as compared to Ps.1,840 million as of the end of fiscal year 2014, which increase mainly related to the maturing of the portfolio.

Fiscal Year 2014 compared to Fiscal Year 2013

Provisions for losses on loans and other receivables for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 were Ps.2,411 million, as compared to
Ps.1,776 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, a Ps.635 million increase attributable to past due loans with both, companies and individuals. The non-accrual loan portfolio as of December 31, 2014 represented 3.57% of total
loans, in line with the ratio recorded the year before. During 2014, Banco Galicia established allowances for loan losses equal to Ps.2,339 million.

The coverage of the non-accrual portfolio with allowances increased from 103.80% as of December 31, 2013 to 105.78% as of
December 31, 2014. During fiscal year 2013 the Banks policy for establishing anticyclical provisions was discontinued and a procyclical policy was implemented, which reflects IFRS standards in a more reliable way. This in turn influenced
the decrease of the coverage ratio.

Direct charges, net of recoveries, represented a gain of Ps.181 million. Charge-offs against
allowances for loan losses were equal to Ps.1,840 million, as compared to Ps.1,304 million as of the end of fiscal year 2013, which increase mainly related to the maturing of the portfolio.

Fiscal Year 2015 compared to Fiscal Year 2014

Net income from services for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was Ps.7,837 million, as compared to Ps.5,699 million for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2014, a 38% increase. The evolution in the business volume and the rise in prices (in compliance with the procedures established by the regulations of the Argentine Central Bank related to individuals), account for the
increases in most of the items noted in the chart above.

The most noteworthy increases in fees were those related to national and
regional credit cards which increased by 35% as compared to the fees charged in fiscal year 2014, to deposit accounts which increased 46% as compared to fiscal year 2014 and to check collections which increased 52% as compared to fiscal year 2014.
The growth in income from services corresponding to CFA, which increased by 82%, was mainly due to higher fees related to the credit cards issued and to the benefit account offered to retired individuals.

Banco Galicias income from credit and debit card transactions, on an individual basis, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015
was Ps.3,214 million, as compared to Ps.2,219 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, a 45% increase. Such increase was mainly attributable not only to the greater number of credit cards managed, but also to the greater average
amount of purchases made with each card during the year. The total number of cards managed by Banco Galicia excluding those issued by the Regional Credit Card Companies and CFA, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was 3.4 million,
as compared to 2.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, a 19% increase.

Income from services corresponding to
the Regional Credit Card Companies for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was Ps.4,049 million, as compared to Ps.3,157 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, a 28% increase. Such increase was mainly attributable to an
increase in the amount of purchases made during the fiscal year together with a greater number of issued credit cards. The Regional Credit Card Companies had issued 10 million credit cards as of December 31, 2015, as compared to
8.9 million credit cards as of December 31, 2014, a 12% increase.

Consequently, income generated from credit card transactions
amounted to Ps.7,263 million in 2015, Ps.1,887 million higher from the Ps.5,376 million generated in 2014.

fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 were Ps.3,634 million, as compared to Ps.2,607 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, representing a 39% increase. Such increase was mainly attributable to the growth in expenses related to
credit and debit card transactions and to the total benefits program, together with a higher turnover tax.

increase of 49% in the year.

In fiscal year 2015, the claims ratio was 13.42%, a similar level as compared to the 13.94% during the

Income/(Loss) from Equity Investments

Fiscal Year 2015 compared to Fiscal Year 2014

Income from equity investments for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was Ps.100 million, as compared to Ps.213 million for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The 53% decrease was mainly attributable to the fact that fiscal year 2014 recorded the profit from the sale of Banco Galicias equity investment in Banelco S.A. to VISA Argentina S.A. In addition, as
of December 31, 2015, the negative goodwill from the acquisition of CFA was fully amortized.

Fiscal Year 2014 compared to Fiscal Year 2013

Income from equity investments for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was Ps.213 million, as compared to Ps.124 million for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The 72% increase was mainly attributable to: (i) the profit from the sale of Banco Galicias equity investment in Banelco S.A. to VISA Argentina S.A., for Ps.40 million and (ii) the
collection of higher dividends from VISA Argentina S.A., for Ps.17 million.

Miscellaneous Income/(Loss), Net

Fiscal Year 2015 compared to Fiscal Year 2014

Miscellaneous net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was Ps.443 million, as compared to Ps.503 million for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2014.

The lower income of Ps.60 million was mainly due to the increase in provisions for loan losses and other
provisions, partially offset by higher income related to security margins on repurchase agreement transactions and to the return from the funds used to cover possible losses related to credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Banelco).

Fiscal Year 2014 compared to Fiscal Year 2013

Miscellaneous net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was Ps.503 million, as compared to Ps.295 million for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2013.

The higher income of Ps.208 million was mainly due to the increase of Ps.80 million in profits from loans
recovered and punitive interest, together with a lower establishment of net allowances for Ps.56 million.

Income Tax

Fiscal Year 2015 compared to Fiscal Year 2014

The income tax charge for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was Ps.2,801 million, as compared to Ps.1,992 million for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2013, a Ps.809 million increase.

U.S. GAAP and Argentine Banking GAAP Reconciliation

General

We prepare our financial
statements in accordance with Argentine Banking GAAP. The more significant differences between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the carrying value of certain government securities and
receivables for government securities, the accounting of Banco Galicias foreign debt restructuring, goodwill, securitization and recognition of deferred income taxes. For more detail on differences in accounting treatment between Argentine
Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of December 31, 2015, see Note 36 to our consolidated financial statements.

Allowances for Loan Losses

With respect to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, we follow the rules of the Argentine Central Bank. Under these rules,
reserves are based on minimum reserve requirements established by the Argentine Central Bank. U.S. GAAP requires that an impaired loan be generally valued at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective
rate or at the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. For the purposes of analyzing our loan loss reserve under U.S. GAAP, we divide our loan portfolio into performing and non-performing commercial and consumer loans.

The following table shows the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated under Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP and the
corresponding shareholders equity adjustment under U.S. GAAP:

ASC 310 Analysis

The non-performing commercial loan portfolio is comprised of loans falling into the following classifications of the Argentine Central Bank:



| |  |  | With Problems
| | - |  | ---------------



| |  |  | High Risk of Insolvency
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | Uncollectible
| | - |  | ---------------

The following table shows our loan loss reserve under ASC 310 for
our non-performing commercial loan portfolio as of the dates indicated.



|                                                     |  |                        |       |  |                  |  |      |                  |  |  |       |

|Loan Loss Reserve Under U.S. GAAP  ASC 310 Analysis |  |                        | 159.4 |  |                  |  | 97.0 |                  |  |  | 104.7 | 

For such non-performing commercial loans, we applied the procedures required by ASC 310. For loans that were
not collateral dependent, the expected future cash flows to be received from the loans were discounted using the interest rate at each balance sheet date for variable loans. Loans that were collateral dependent, and for which there was an
expectation that the loan balance would be recovered via the exercise of collateral, were valued using the fair value of the collateral. In addition, in order to assess the fair value of collateral, we discounted collateral valuations due to the
extended period of time that it can take to foreclose on assets in Argentina.

ASC 450 Analysis

To calculate the allowance required for smaller-balance impaired loans and unimpaired loans, we perform an analysis of historical losses from
our consumer and performing commercial loan portfolios in order to estimate losses for U.S. GAAP purposes resulting from loan losses that had been incurred in such loan portfolios at the balance sheet date but which had not been individually
identified.

##### Table of Contents

Loss estimates are analyzed by loan type and thus for homogeneous groups of clients. Such
historical ratios are updated to incorporate the most recent data reflecting current economic conditions, industry performance trends, geographic or obligor concentrations within each portfolio segment, and any other pertinent information that may
affect the estimation of the allowance for loan losses. Many factors can affect Banco Galicias estimates of allowance for loan losses, including volatility of default probability, migrations and estimated loss severity.

We estimate that, on average, it takes a period of up to one year between the trigger of an impairment event and identification of a loan as
being a probable loss for consumer and performing commercial loans.

The increase in the allowances recorded under ASC 450 is mostly due
to a higher volume of credit card and personal loans granted during 2015 and 2014 and the worsening of macroeconomic factors, such as inflation rate and unemployment. The table below shows our loan loss reserve under ASC 450 for consumer and
performing commercial loans as of the dates indicated.

In addition to assessing the reasonableness of the loan loss reserve as described above, Grupo Financiero
Galicia makes an overall determination of the adequacy of each periods reserve based on such ratios as:



| |  |  | Loan loss reserves as a percentage of non-accrual loans,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Loan loss reserves as a percentage of total amounts past due, and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Loan loss reserves as a percentage of past-due unsecured amounts.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------

The table below shows the
above-mentioned ratios as of the dates indicated.

The allowance for loan losses has increased approximately 30% during 2015 under U.S. GAAP. This variation is
due to an increase in the portfolio of loans to the private sector and to the qualitative approach reflecting current economic conditions, industry performance trends, geographic or obligor concentrations, within each portfolio segment required for
smaller-balance impaired and unimpaired.

Carrying Value of Certain Government Securities and Receivables for Government Securities

As of December 31, 2013, our holding of Bonar 2015 Bonds have been recorded at their acquisition cost increased according to the accrual
of their internal rate of return under Argentine Banking GAAP. During 2014 they were fully settled.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Bonar 2015 Bonds
were considered as available for sale securities and recorded at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses recognized as a charge or credit to equity through other comprehensive income.

Under U.S. GAAP, all of these assets are carried at fair value as fully explained in Note 36 to our financial statements and -U.S.
GAAP-Critical Accounting Policies.

Foreign Debt Restructuring

For U.S. GAAP purposes, the restructuring is accounted for in each of two steps. The first step of the restructuring required the holders of
our debt to exchange its old debt for new debt in two tranches. Pursuant to Determining Whether a Debtors Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments is within the scope of ASC 470 (ASC 820), we did not receive any concession from
the holders of the debt and therefore, the first step of the

##### Table of Contents

restructuring was not considered a trouble debt restructuring. Pursuant to Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments ASC 470-50, the first step of the
restructuring was accounted for as a modification of the old debt and therefore we did not recognize any gain or loss. The second step of the restructuring offers the holders of our debt issued in the first step explained above the option to
exchange it for new securities including cash, Boden 2012 Bonds and our equity shares. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP, this second step of the restructuring was accounted for in accordance with Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Trouble Debt
Restructurings ASC 310-40, as a partial settlement of the debt through the transfer of certain assets and equity at its fair value. After deducting the considerations used to repay the debt, ASC 310-40 requires the comparison of the future
cash outflows of the restructured debt and the carrying of the debt at the restructuring date.

Gain on troubled debt restructuring is
only recognized when the remaining carrying value of the debt at the date of the restructuring exceeds the total future cash payments of the restructured debt reduced by the fair value of the assets and equity given as payment of the debt. Since the
total future cash outflows of the restructured debt exceeds the carrying value of the old debt, no gain on restructuring was recorded under U.S. GAAP.

As a result, under U.S. GAAP, the carrying amount of the restructured debt is greater than the amount recorded under Argentine Banking GAAP.
Therefore, under U.S. GAAP, a new effective interest rate was determined to reflect the present value of the future cash payments of the restructured debt.

Furthermore, under U.S. GAAP, expenses incurred in a trouble debt restructuring are expensed as incurred. Expenses related to the issuance of
equity were deducted directly from the shareholders equity.

Shareholders Equity adjustments between Argentine Banking GAAP
and U.S. GAAP as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, amounted to Ps.(69) million and Ps.(55) million, respectively.

Financial Trust Galtrust I

The financial trust Galtrust I was created in October 2000 in connection with the securitization of provincial loans for a total
amount of Ps.1,102 million. The securitized loans were from the portfolio of loans granted to provincial governments, guaranteed by the federal tax revenues shared with the provincial governments.

During 2002, the portfolio of loans and the related retained interest payments in Galtrust I were subject to the pesification. As a result,
the retained interest in the trust was converted into Pesos at an exchange rate of Ps.1.40 to US$1.00 and the interest rate for their debt securities changed to CER plus 10%. During 2003, Galtrust I had swapped its provincial loans for Bogar Bonds.

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, this transaction was accounted for as sales and the participation certificates retained by the Bank are
recorded at the present value of cash flows discounted by the I.R.R. of instruments with similar characteristics and duration and with volatility. When the book value exceeds the present value, the monthly accrual is recorded in an asset offset
account.

##### Table of Contents

The retained interest in the trust was recorded under Argentine Central Bank rules in the
Other Receivables from Financial Brokerage, and its balance as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, was Ps.686 million and Ps.788 million, respectively.

In accordance with ASC 810, Grupo Financiero Galicia was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of this trust and, therefore, the Bank
reconsolidated the assets and liabilities of the mentioned trust. Upon consolidation, the Bogar Bonds were classified as available-for-sale securities and measured at fair value with changes recorded in other comprehensive income.

Debt securities originated in connection with this financial trust have been cancelled as of December 31, 2014.

Our maximum loss exposure, which amounted to Ps.709 million and Ps.945 million as of
December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is based on the unlikely events that all the assets in the VIEs become worthless and incorporates potential losses associated with assets recorded on our balance sheet.

Negative Goodwill  Compañía Financiera Argentina and subsidiaries

The Argentine Central Banks board of directors, through Resolution No.124 dated June 7, 2010, authorized Banco Galicia to purchase
95% of the shares belonging to the following companies: CFA, Cobranzas y Servicios S.A. and Procesadora Regional S.A. (former Universal Processing Center S.A.). Furthermore, through the above-mentioned resolution the Argentine Central Bank
authorized the subsidiary Tarjetas Regionales to purchase the remaining 5% of the shares belonging to such companies.

The total purchase
price paid amounted to Ps.328.3 million for CFA, Ps.0.8 million for Cobranzas y Servicios S.A. and Ps.4.8 million for Procesadora Regional S.A. (former Universal Processing Center S.A.).

Pursuant to Argentine Central Bank rules, and due to the difference between the acquisition cost and the estimated fair value of assets and
liabilities acquired as of June 30, 2010, a negative goodwill amounting to Ps.500.6 million was recorded by CFA and a negative goodwill of Ps.16.8 million was recorded by Cobranzas y Servicios S.A., both of which were recorded under the line
item Liabilities-Provisions. With regard to Procesadora Regional S.A. (former Universal Processing Center S.A.), a goodwill amounting to Ps.4.0 million was recorded under Intangible Assets  Goodwill. The negative goodwill is subsequently
charged to Income on a straight-line basis during 60 months.

Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 805 requires the acquisition of controlling interest of
CFA, Cobranzas y Servicios S.A. and Procesadora Regional S.A. (former Universal Processing Center S.A.) to be accounted for as a business combination applying the purchase method, recognizing all net assets acquired at their fair value.

Considering that the net assets acquired were originally recorded at their estimated fair value under Argentine Banking GAAP, no adjustments
for U.S. GAAP purposes were recorded in this regard. However, the negative goodwill recorded as a liability and being amortized over a 60 months period under Argentine Banking GAAP, has been fully recognized as a gain in the consolidated statement
of income for U.S. GAAP purposes under the caption Miscellaneous Income.

In addition, the amortization of negative goodwill recorded
under Argentine Banking GAAP has been reversed for U.S. GAAP purposes.

As of December 31, 2014 we had a balance of Ps.50 millon
related to the negative goodwill. During fiscal year 2015, we had fully amortized the negative goodwill.

Income Tax

Argentine Central Bank regulations do not require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities and, therefore, income taxes for Banco
Galicia are recognized on the basis of amounts due in accordance with Argentine tax regulations. However, we and our non-bank subsidiaries apply the deferred income tax method.

For the purposes of U.S. GAAP reporting, we applied ASC 740-10 Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, income tax is
recognized based on the assets and liabilities method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of our assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are
recognized if it is more likely than not those assets will be realized.

According to the taxable income projections, Grupo Financiero
Galicia estimates that is more likely than not that it will recover the temporary differences and the presumed minimum income tax with future taxable income and the presumed minimum income tax will be utilized. Therefore, no valuation allowance was
provided against presumed minimum income tax and temporary differences.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, ASC 740-10 was issued in July 2006 and
interprets FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC 740-10. ASC 740-10 became effective for us on January 1, 2007 and prescribes a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, financial statement presentation and disclosure
of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC 740-10 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

We classify income tax-related interest and penalties as income taxes in the financial statements. The adoption of this pronouncement had no
effect on our overall financial position or results of operations.

Summary

As a result of the above and other differences, our net income and shareholders equity under Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP for the
periods indicated were as follows:



|                 |  |                        |       |  |                                |  |       |                       |  |  |           |  |  |  |        | 
|---------------- |  | ---------------------- | ----- |  | ------------------------------ |  | ----- | --------------------- |  |  | --------- |  |  |  | ------ | 
|                 |  | Net Income (Loss)      |       |  | Shareholders Equity (Deficit) | 
|                 |  | Argentine BankingGAAP  |       |  | U.S. GAAP                      |  |       | Argentine BankingGAAP |  |  | U.S. GAAP | 
|                 |  | (in millions of Pesos) |      
|Fiscal Year 2015 |  |                        | 4,338 |  |                                |  | 4,336 |                       |  |  | 14,485    |  |  |  | 14,383 | 
|Fiscal Year 2014 |  |                        | 3,338 |  |                                |  | 3,504 |                       |  |  | 10,246    |  |  |  | 10,243 | 
|Fiscal Year 2013 |  |                        | 1,824 |  |                                |  | 1,575 |                       |  |  | 6,947     |  |  |  | 6,944  | 

The significant differences that result between shareholders equity under U.S. GAAP and
shareholders equity under Argentine Banking GAAP primarily reflect that:



| |  |  | Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 850-40 defines three stages for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use: the preliminary project stage, the application development stage and the post-implementation
operation stage. Under U.S. GAAP, only second stage costs should be capitalized. Under Argentine Banking GAAP, the Bank capitalized costs relating to all three of the stages of software development.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The difference between the consideration transferred for the acquisition of Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Cobranzas y Servicios S.A. and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed was recognized as a gain in earnings on the acquisition date. Instead, under Argentine Banking GAAP, such difference was recorded in the line item Liabilities-Provisions. Pursuant to the Argentine Central Bank regulations, negative goodwill
must be charged to Income with regard to the causes that have originated it, not to exceed a 60-month straight-line method amortization.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The recognition of the Deferred Income Taxes differs under Argentine Banking GAAP as compared to U.S. GAAP. Under Argentine Banking GAAP banking companies are not allowed to record Deferred Income Tax, as such Grupo
Galicia and its non-banking subsidiaries have recognized a deferred tax asset for local purposes. As such, the U.S. GAAP adjustment includes: (a) Deferred Income Taxes for banking companies not recorded for local purposes and; (b) tax
effects on the USGAAP adjustments including in the reconciliation.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In accordance with U.S. GAAP under ASC 310, loan origination fees net of certain direct loan origination costs should be recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment of yield. Under Argentine Banking
GAAP, the Bank does not defer loan origination fees and costs.

##### Table of Contents

The Ps.755 million increase in net income was primarily a result of an increase of Ps.3,032
million in net operating revenues and Ps.326 million in income from equity investments, together with lower provisions for loans losses for Ps.204 million, offset by higher administrative expenses in an amount of Ps.2,414 million, lower other income
in an amount of Ps.166 million and higher income tax in an amount of Ps.227 million.

The increase in net income for the fiscal year 2014
as compared to the fiscal year 2013 was primarily attributable to the growth in net operating income, which was higher than the increase in administrative expenses, and, as a consequence, there was an improvement in the efficiency ratio.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, the growth in net financial income was due to the increase in the volume of financial
intermediation with the private sector, partially offset by a decrease in financial margins.

The average of interest-earning assets as of
the end of fiscal year 2015 experienced an increase as compared to fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, due to the growth recorded in loans to the private sector. This increase was primarily attributable to a Ps.13,297 million or 65% increase
in credit cards, a Ps.6,464 million or 39% increase in promissory notes, a Ps.4,680 million or 117% increase in advances and a Ps.1,496 million or 31% increase in personal loans.

Credit growth was influenced by projects that were undertaken pursuant to the Credit Line for Productive Investment set forth by the Argentine
Central Bank. As of fiscal year end, the outstanding amount of loans related to this credit line reached Ps.9,727 million. For more information, see Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects-Item 5.A. Operating
Results-Results of Operations.

According to information provided by the Argentine Central Bank, as of December 31,
2015, Banco Galicias estimated market share of loans to the private sector was 9.18%, as compared to 8.27% as of December 31, 2014 and 8.15% as of December 31, 2013.

The average position in government securities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 increased as compared to the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2014, due to higher balances, primarily, in securities issued by the Argentine Central Bank, accompanied by an increased position in government securities denominated in pesos and in foreign currency for Ps.1,892 million and
Ps.1,584 million, respectively. The average yield on government securities recorded an increase both in transactions denominated in pesos as well as in foreign currency.

Financial expenses as of the end of fiscal year 2015 increased as compared to the previous fiscal year, as a consequence of a higher average
balance of interest-bearing liabilities combined with an increase in the average cost thereof.

Out of total interest-bearing liabilities,
variations in time deposits stood out, which were higher than the increase recorded in transactional deposits. In addition, the increase in the average rate on interest-bearing deposits (savings accounts and time deposits) for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2015 as compared to the previous fiscal year, was mainly attributable to the evolution of the interest rate on time deposits, which was in line with the financial system dynamics. The interest rate on time deposits was influenced
by the passage of Communication A 5640 of the Argentine Central Bank which established, beginning in October 2014, minimum interest rates on time deposits in pesos from individuals (and, later, companies) up to certain amounts. This
regulation was revoked on December 17, 2015.

According to information provided by the Argentine Central Bank, as of
December 31, 2015, Banco Galicias estimated market share of deposits from the private sector was 9.36%, as compared to 8.65% as of December 31, 2014 and 9.02% as of December 31, 2013.

Net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, included a Ps.858 million gain from currency quotation differences, comprised of
a Ps.350 million gain from foreign exchange brokerage activities and a Ps.507 million gain from the valuation of the foreign currency net position and the result from foreign currency forward transactions. Net income for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2014, included a Ps.1,106 million gain from currency quotation differences, comprised of a Ps.241 million gain from foreign exchange brokerage activities and a Ps.865 million gain from the valuation of the foreign currency net
position and the result from foreign currency forward transactions.

Net income from services was Ps.4,172 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015,
as compared to Ps.2,965 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, a 41% increase, which in turn was 47% higher than the Ps.2,012 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in the business volume and the
rise in prices (in compliance with the procedures established by the regulations of the Argentine Central Bank for fees related to individuals), account for the increases.

The main components of income from services are fees related to credit and debit card transactions, deposit accounts, foreign exchange
brokerage activities and insurance. With respect to credit cards, the most important component for the Banks income from services, revenue from such segment increased 45% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, with 3.4 million
credit cards managed, compared to 2.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and to 2.5 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Such growth was accompanied by an increase in consumption during the past
three fiscal years.

Provisions for loan losses and other receivables were Ps.1,061 million for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2015, representing a decrease of Ps.204 million as compared to Ps.1,265 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to the better performance of the commercial portfolio. Provisions for loan losses and other receivables
as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, represented an increase of Ps.444 million as compared to Ps.821 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, primarily attributable to the evolution of both the individual and
commercial portfolios.

Administrative expenses were Ps.7,395 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to
Ps.4,981 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, a 49% increase. In turn, administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, were 26% higher as compared to Ps.3,964 million for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2013. These increases were attributable to both higher personnel expenses and other administrative expenses.

The
increase in personnel expenses (salaries, Argentine social security contributions and expenses related to personnel services) was mainly due to the salary increase agreed upon with the union. As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 the
Bank had 5,573 employees, while as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 the Bank had 5,374 employees.

The increase in other
administrative expenses was mainly due to the increase of expenses related to services provided to the Bank together with increased amortizations of organization and development expenses of Ps.260 million (102%), as in December 2014 the Bank began
to amortize its investment in the SAP Core Banking System.

Income from equity investments was Ps.1,433 million for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2015, Ps.326 million higher as compared to Ps.1,107 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, which in turn was Ps.243 million higher than the Ps.864 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The
increase recorded in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was mainly attributable to (i) the higher profits from Tarjetas Regionales for Ps.592 million, mainly due to the increase in net operating revenues, partially offset by increases
in administrative expenses and income taxes and (ii) the higher profits from Sudamericana Holding, for Ps.22 million. These positive variations were partially offset by: (i) lower profits from CFA, for Ps.230 million, from Ps.287 million
as of fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 to Ps.57 million in fiscal year 2015 (net of eliminations of results from transactions with related companies), as a consequence of higher administrative expenses and provisions for loan losses,
together with a lower income from the amortization of the negative goodwill generated from the acquisition of CFA, which as of June 30, 2015 was completed, and (ii) lower profits from other income from equity investments, for Ps.59
million, because fiscal year 2014 included the income generated from the transfer of the Banks equity investment in Banelco S.A. to VISA Argentina S.A. and the results from the sale of Galicia Administradora de Fondos to Grupo Financiero
Galicia. For more information, see -Regional Credit Cards, -CFAand-Insurance.

Other net losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 were Ps.67 million, Ps.166
million lower as compared to the Ps.99 million profit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, which was higher than the Ps.5 million loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. Other net losses for the fiscal year 2015 were the
consequence of higher net other provisions, partially offset by higher income related to security margins on repurchase agreement transactions and to the return from the funds used to cover possible losses related to credit cards (Visa, Mastercard,
American Express and Banelco).

The income tax charge during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was Ps.1,522 million, Ps.227
million higher than the Ps.1,295 million for fiscal year 2014.

Ps.1,549 million, as compared to Ps.785 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, representing a Ps.764 million or 97% increase.

The increase in income corresponding to the Regional Credit Card Companies for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 was mainly
attributable to an increase in net operating revenues of Ps.1,931 million accompanied by lower provisions for loan losses for Ps.23 million, partially offset by increases of Ps.971 million in administrative expenses and Ps.346 million in income tax.

The net operating revenues for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to Ps.6,906 million, a 39% increase above the
Ps.4,975 million for fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as a result of higher net financial income for Ps.971 million and higher net income from services for Ps.960 million. The increase in net operating income was due to the growth of the
average amount of purchases and financing, and to an increase in the number of transactions.

As of December 31, 2015, provisions for
loan losses amounted to Ps.753 million, Ps.23 million lower than in the previous fiscal year, mainly due to an improvement in the behavior of the clients together with an increased amount of loans recovered.

Administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to Ps.4,168 million, a 30% increase from the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2014, mainly due to the salary increase agreed upon with unions, the higher level of economic activity and the higher costs during the period.

In fiscal year 2015, other net income amounted to Ps.427 million, 36% above the Ps.314 million recorded a year before, which in turn was 44%
higher than fiscal year 2013. Both annual variations were the result of an increase in loans recovered.

CFAs net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to Ps.159 million, Ps.30
million higher than the Ps.129 million gain for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Net operating revenue for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2015 amounted to Ps.1,525 million, a Ps.279 million increase as compared to the Ps.1,246 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. This variation was due to higher net financial income for Ps.149 million and
net income from services for Ps.130 million.

The increase of net financial income was mainly due to a decrease in the costs of funding,
as a consequence of a lower financing portfolio, and to higher income from the sale of portfolios under the Credit Line for Productive Investment established by the Argentine Central Bank.

Net income from services amounted to Ps.270 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, a 93% increase from the prior year,
mainly due to higher fees related to credit cards, insurance and the benefit account offered to retired individuals.

Provisions for loan
losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to Ps.400 million, increasing Ps.31 million as compared to the Ps.369 millon from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as a result of the evolution of the past due loan
portfolio.

Administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 amounted to Ps.930 million, an increase of Ps.161
million or 21% as compared to fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The main increases were recorded in personal expenses for Ps.37 million due to the salary increase agreements and to a higher staff, in security services for Ps.26 million as a
consequence of increases in the cost, in professional fees for Ps.25 million, in maintenance/reparations for Ps.16 million and in rental activities for Ps.14 million due to the evolution of the Dollar during the period which affected the contracts
denominated in such currency.

gain for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

The lower net income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 was highly

Net operating revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to Ps.1,246 million, a Ps.185 million increase as compared to
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, mainly due to the growth of the credit card portfolio as CFA changed its main product in order to maintain similar income as compared to the previous years as a consequence of the impact generated by the
cap on interest rates established by the Argentine Central Bank. The increase in net operating revenue was partially offset by certain costs of funding.

Net income from services amounted to Ps.140 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, a Ps.31 million increase as compared to
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, mainly due to the increase in credit card sales, as a consequence of the change in CFAs business core (currently: credit cards loans; until June 2014: personal loans), as was mentioned above.

Provisions for loan losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to Ps.369 million, increasing Ps.116 million as compared
to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as a result of changes in the past due loan portfolio.

fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to Ps.769 million, an increase of Ps.106 million as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, influenced by an administrative reorganization, together with the increases recorded in

As of December 31, 2015, our total exposure to the public sector was equal to Ps.17,859 million.

Excluding the holding of debt securities issued by the Argentine Central Bank for Ps.12,937 million, compared to Ps.7,714 million for fiscal
year 2014, net exposure to the non-financial public sector increased by Ps.1,375 million in fiscal year 2015. The increase in the exposure to the public sector during the last twelve months was mainly due to the acquisition of treasury bonds due in
2016, for Ps.593 million, together with a higher balance in treasury bills and debt securities issued by different provinces.

As of
December 31, 2014, our total exposure to the public sector was equal to Ps.11,261 million. Excluding the holding of debt securities issued by the Argentine Central Bank for Ps.7,714 million, compared to Ps.2,555 million for fiscal year 2013,
net exposure to the non-financial public sector increased by Ps.686 million in fiscal year 2014. The increase in the exposure to the public sector during the last twelve months was mainly due to the acquisition of bonds issued by the Argentine
government due in 2016, 2017 and 2019.

Funding

Banco Galicias and the Regional Credit Card Companies and CFAs lending activities are our main asset-generating businesses.
Accordingly, most of our borrowing and liquidity needs are associated with these activities. We also have liquidity needs at the level of our holding company, which are discussed in Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects-Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources-Liquidity-Holding Company on an Individual Basis. Our objective is to maintain cost-effective and well diversified funding to support current and future asset growth in our businesses.
For this, we rely on diverse sources of funding. The use and availability of funding sources depends on market conditions, both local and foreign, and prevailing interest rates. Market conditions in Argentina include a structurally limited
availability of domestic long-term funding.

Our funding activities and liquidity planning are integrated into our asset and liability
management and our financial risks management and policies. The liquidity policy of Banco Galicia is described in Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects-Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources-Banco Galicias
Liquidity Management and our other financial risk policies, including interest rate, currency and market risks are described in Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. Our funding sources are
discussed below.

Traditionally, our primary source of funding has been Banco Galicias deposit taking activity. Although Banco
Galicia has access to Argentine Central Bank financing, management does not view this as a primary source of funding in line with our overall strategies discussed herein.

Other important sources of funding have traditionally included issuing Dollar-denominated medium and long-term debt securities issued in
foreign capital markets and borrowing from international banks and multilateral credit agencies. After the restructuring of its foreign debt in May 2004 and until the US$300 million bond issuance in May 2011, Banco Galicia had not relied on the
issuance of new debt securities, and entered into three long term loan agreements with the International Finance Corporation (the IFC) in 2005, 2007 and 2010 for US$130 million, with the purpose of funding long-term loans to small and
medium-sized companies. In addition, Banco Galicia entered into a long-term loan agreement with the Netherlands Development Finance Company (the FMO) on December 17, 2010 for US$20 million and a long-term loan agreement with the IDB
on February 15, 2011 for

US$30 million. In December 2011 Proparco, the Development Financial Institution partly owned by Agence Française de Dévelopement, granted Banco Galicia a US$20 million loan, with a
6 year term, for the financing of investment projects of small and medium-sized companies mainly active in the agribusiness and export sectors.

Selling government securities under repurchase agreement transactions has been a recurrent source of funding for Banco Galicia. Currently,
although not presently such an important source of funding, repurchase agreement transactions are part of the liquidity policy of the Bank. Within its liquidity policy, Banco Galicia considers its unencumbered liquid government securities holdings
as part of its available excess liquidity. See Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects -Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources-Banco Galicias Liquidity Management.

The Regional Credit Card Companies fund their business through the issuance of notes in the local and international capital markets, borrowing
from local financial institutions and debt with merchants generated in the ordinary course of business of any credit card issuing company. In 2015, the Regional Credit Card Companies issued notes in an amount equal to Ps.2,328 million and received
loans for Ps.937 million.

CFA funds its business through the issuance of debt securities in the local market, borrowing from financial
institutions and time deposits from institutional investors (insurance companies and mutual funds).

as of the dates indicated:

As of December 31, 2015, deposits represented 61.8% of our funding, up from 60.3% as of December 31, 2014 and similar to the year
ended December 31, 2013. Our deposit base increased 55% in 2015, 26% in 2014 and 29% in 2013. During fiscal year 2015, the Ps.35,373 million increase in deposits was due to the increase in time deposits (51%) and in transactional deposits
(deposits in checking and savings accounts, with increases of 19% and 28%, respectively). The increase registered during 2014 was also the result of an increase in transactional deposits (50%) and time deposits (48%). For more information on
deposits, see Item 4. Information on the Company-Selected Statistical Information-Deposits.

As of December 31,
2015, credit lines from international banks and credit agencies representing Dollar-denominated debt subject to foreign law amounted to Ps.1,273 million. Of this total, Ps.1,096 million corresponded to trade loans; Ps.69 million corresponded to a
loan agreement with Proparco; Ps.68 million corresponded to a long-term loan agreement with the FMO; Ps.24 million debt with banks and international organizations and Ps.16 million line granted by the IDB through the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
The increase of Ps.546 million as compared to December 31, 2014 was mainly as a result of an increase in trade loans.

Other

As
a shareholder of Aguas Cordobesas S.A., Banco Galicia is a guarantor with respect to compliance with certain obligations arising from the concession contract signed by Aguas Cordobesas S.A. In addition, Banco Galicia and the other shareholders
committed, in certain circumstances, to provide financial support to the company if it was unable to fulfill the commitments it had undertaken with various international financial institutions.

Banco Galicia, as a shareholder and proportionally to its 10.833% interest, is jointly responsible, to the Province of Córdoba, for
contractual obligations under the concession contract for its entire term. Should any of the other shareholders fail to comply with the commitments arising from their joint responsibility, the province may force Banco Galicia to assume the
unfulfilled commitment, but only in proportion and to the extent of the interest held by Banco Galicia. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our off-balance sheet risk mainly arises from Banco Galicias activities.

In the normal course of its business, Banco Galicia is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk which are entered into in
order to meet the financing needs of its customers. These instruments expose us to credit risk in addition to the amounts recognized on our consolidated balance sheets. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby
letters of credit, guarantees granted and acceptances.

Commitments to Extend Credit, Stand-By Letters of Credit and Guarantees Granted

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer at a future date, subject to meeting certain contractual terms. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent actual future
cash requirements. We evaluate each customers creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.

We use the same credit policies in making
commitments, conditional obligations and guarantees as we do for granting loans. In the opinion of management, our outstanding commitments and guarantees do not represent unusual credit risk.

Standby letters of credit and guarantees granted are conditional commitments issued by Banco Galicia to guarantee the performance of a
customer to a third party. Guarantees granted are surety guarantees in connection with transactions between two parties. Acceptances are conditional commitments for foreign trade transactions.

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit, guarantees granted and acceptances is represented by the contractual notional amount of those investments.

Our
credit exposure related to these items as of December 31, 2015, is summarized below:



|                             |  |                        |       |

In addition to the above commitments, as of December 31, 2015, purchase limits available for
credit-card holders amounted to Ps.138,663 million.

As of December 31, 2015, main fees related to the above-mentioned commitments
were Ps.23 million corresponding to standby letters of credit, Ps.18 million from guarantees provided and Ps.8 million from commitments to extend credit.

The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit and granting guarantees is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
facilities to customers. In order to grant guarantees to our customers, we may require counter guarantees. As of December 31, 2015, these counter guarantees, classified by type, were as follows:

With respect to fiduciary risk, we act as trustee of trust agreements to guarantee obligations arising from
various contracts between the parties. As of December 31, 2015, the trust funds amounted to Ps.6,926 million.

In addition, we hold
securities in custody, which as of December 31, 2015 amounted to Ps.59,767 million.

sheet financial instruments, see Note 25 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

We believe that the following are our critical accounting policies under Argentine Banking GAAP, as they are important to the
portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgment and the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Our
allowance for loan losses including the allowance for loan losses of Banco Galicia and CFA is maintained in accordance with Argentine Central Bank rules. Under such rules, a minimum allowance for loan losses is calculated primarily based upon the
classification of Banco Galicias commercial loan borrowers and upon



-132-



---

##### Table of Contents

delinquency aging (or the number of days the loan is past due) for individual loan borrowers of both Banco Galicia and CFA and for Banco Galicias commercial loans of less than Ps.2.5
million. Although we are required to follow the methodology and guidelines for determining the minimum loan loss allowance as set forth by the Argentine Central Bank, we are allowed to establish additional allowances for loan losses. The
determination of the allowance for loan losses requires a significant degree of judgment. The credit cards companies follow the IFRS guidelines to record the allowances for loan losses, which include the minimum requirements of Argentine Central
Bank rules.

For commercial loans, we are required to classify all of our commercial loan borrowers. In order to perform the
classification, we must consider the management and operating history of the borrower, the present and projected financial situation of the borrower, the borrowers payment history and ability to service the debt, the capability of the
borrowers internal information and control systems and the risk in the sector in which the borrower operates. We apply the minimum loss percentages required by the Argentine Central Bank to our commercial loan borrowers based on the loan
classification and the nature of the collateral, or guarantee in respect of the loan. In addition, based on the overall risk of the portfolio, we consider whether or not additional loan loss reserves in excess of the minimum required are warranted.

For our consumer loan portfolio, including the loan portfolios of Banco Galicia, the Regional Credit Card Companies and CFA, we classify
loans based upon delinquency aging, consistent with the requirements of the Argentine Central Bank. Minimum loss percentages required by the Argentine Central Bank are also applied to the totals in each loan classification

Other Receivables Resulting from Financial Brokerage and Miscellaneous Receivables

We carry other receivables resulting from financial brokerage and miscellaneous receivables net of allowances for uncollectible amounts. Our
judgment regarding the ultimate collectibility is performed on an account-by-account basis and considers our assessment of the borrowers ability to pay based on factors such as the borrowers financial condition, past payment history,
guarantees and past-due status.

Goodwill

Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The carrying amount of goodwill is analyzed for impairment based on estimates of
future undiscounted cash flows generated by the business acquired. The estimate of future cash flows requires complex management judgment.

Pursuant to the Argentine Central Bank regulations, the negative goodwill has to be charged to Income with regard to the causes that have
originated it, not to exceed a 60-month straight-line method amortization.

U.S. GAAP - Critical Accounting Policies

Additional information in connection with critical accounting policies for U.S. GAAP purposes is described as follows.

Allowance for Loan Losses

Under
U.S. GAAP, Banco Galicia considers loans to be impaired when it is probable that all amounts of principal and interest will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The allowance for significant impaired loans are
assessed based on the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current effective loan rate or the fair value of the collateral in the case where the loan is considered collateral-dependent. An allowance for impaired loans is
provided when discounted future cash flows or collateral fair value is lower than book value.

In addition, if necessary, a specific
allowance for loan losses is established for individual loans, based on regular reviews of individual loans, recent loss experience, credit scores, the risk characteristics of the various classifications of loans and other factors directly
influencing the potential collectability and affecting the quality of the loan portfolio.



-133-

##### Table of Contents

To calculate the allowance required for smaller-balance impaired loans and unimpaired loans, we
perform an analysis of historical losses from our consumer and performing commercial loan portfolios in order to estimate losses for U.S. GAAP purposes resulting from loan losses that had been incurred in such loan portfolios at the balance sheet
date but which had not been individually identified. Loss estimates are analyzed by loan type and thus for homogeneous groups of clients. Such historical ratios are updated to incorporate the most recent data reflecting current economic conditions,
industry performance trends, geographic or obligor concentrations within each portfolio segment, and any other pertinent information that may affect the estimation of the allowance for loan losses.

We estimate that, on average, it takes a period of up to one year between the trigger of an impairment event and identification of a loan as
being a probable loss for consumer and performing commercial loans.

Many factors can affect Banco Galicias estimates of allowance
for loan losses, including volatility of default probability, migrations and estimated loss severity.

A ten percent decrease in the
expected cash flows of significant impaired loans individually analyzed, could result in an additional impairment of approximately Ps.0.2 million.

A ten percent increase in the historical loss ratios for loans collectively analyzed could result in an additional impairment of approximately
Ps.344 million.

These sensitivity analyses do not represent managements expectations of the deterioration in risk ratings or the
increases in loss rates but are provided as hypothetical scenarios to assess the sensitivity of the allowance for loan and lease losses to changes in key inputs. We believe the risk ratings and loss severities currently in use are appropriate and
represent managements expectations about the credit risk inherent in its loan portfolio.

Determining the allowance for loan losses
requires significant management judgments and estimates including, among others, identifying impaired loans, determining customers ability to pay and estimating the fair value of underlying collateral or the expected future cash flows to be
received. Actual events are likely to differ from the estimates and assumptions used in determining the allowance for loan losses.

Fair Value
Estimates

A portion of our assets is carried at fair value, including trading and available-for-sale securities, retained
interests in assets transferred to financial trusts, futures and forwards transactions.

ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10, among other things, requires Grupo Financiero Galicia to maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

In addition, ASC 825-10 provides an option to elect fair
value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments and written loan commitments not previously recorded at fair value. Under ASC 825-10, fair value is used for both the initial and
subsequent measurement of the designated assets, liabilities and commitments, with the changes on fair value recognized in net income. As a result of ASC 825-10 analysis, Grupo Financiero Galicia has not elected to apply fair value accounting for
any of its financial instruments not previously carried at fair value.

Fair Value Hierarchy

ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair
value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:



-134-



---

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | Level 1: inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2: inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for
substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inputs include the following:



| | (a) | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (b) | Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (c) | Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (d) | Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 3: inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A financial instruments categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the
fair value measurement.

Determination of Fair Value

Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon
internally developed models that use primarily market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and currency rates. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial
instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, Banco Galicias creditworthiness, liquidity and unobservable parameters that are applied consistently over time.

Grupo Financiero Galicia believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different
methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Impairment of Assets Other Than Loans

Certain assets, such as goodwill and equity investments are subject to an impairment review. Asset impairment charges require considerable
judgment and are recorded when market value declines below the carrying value, for declines other-than-temporary, or where the cost of the asset is deemed to not be recoverable.

Goodwill impairment exists when the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is allocated is not enough to cover the book value
of its assets and liabilities and the goodwill. The fair value of the reporting units is estimated using discounted cash flow techniques. The sustained value of the majority of the goodwill is supported ultimately by revenue from our banking and
credit-card businesses. A decline in earnings as a result of a lack of growth, or our inability to deliver cost-effective services over sustained periods, could lead to a perceived impairment of goodwill, which would be evaluated and, if necessary,
recorded as a write-down in our consolidated income statement. On an annual basis, or as circumstances dictate, management reviews goodwill and evaluates events or other developments that may indicate impairment in the carrying amount. The
evaluation methodology for potential impairment is inherently complex and involves significant management judgment in the use of estimates and assumptions. These estimates involve many assumptions, including the expected results of the reporting
unit, an assumed discount rate and an assumed growth rate for the reporting unit.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, no impairment
was recorded.

The fair value of equity investments is determined using discounted cash flow techniques. This technique involves complex
management judgment in terms of estimating the future cash flows of the companies and in defining the applicable interest rate to discount those cash flows.

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities recorded for accounting and tax reporting purposes and for the future tax effects of net operating loss carryforwards. Recognition of those deferred tax assets is subject to managements judgment based on available
evidence that realization is more likely than not and they are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation reserve. Managements judgment on the likelihood that deferred tax assets can be realized is subjective and involves estimates and assumptions
about matters that are inherently uncertain. This judgment involves estimating future taxable income and the timing at which the temporary differences between book and taxable income will be reversed. Underlying estimates and assumptions can change
over time, influencing our overall tax positions, as a result of unanticipated events or circumstances.

According to taxable income
projections, Grupo Financiero Galicia believes that is more likely than not that it will recover the temporary differences and the presumed minimum income tax. Therefore, no valuation allowance was provided against presumed minimum income tax and
temporary differences.

Securitizations

Under U.S. GAAP, prior to January 1, 2010, Grupo Financiero Galicia adopted SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, as amended by SFAS 156, both of them codified under the topic ASC No. 860 Transfers and Servicing (ASC No. 860). ASC No. 860 required an
entity to recognize the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it had incurred and to derecognize financial assets when control has been surrendered.

Effective January 1, 2010, Grupo Financiero Galicia implemented new accounting guidance provided by SFAS 166 and 167 (ASU 2009-16 and ASU
2009-17, respectively, under the new codification), which amend the accounting for the transfers of financial assets and the consolidation of VIEs.

The new guidance eliminates the concept of QSPEs that were previously exempt from consolidation and introduces a new framework for determining
the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of the VIE. Therefore, Grupo Financiero Galicia must evaluate all existing securitization trusts that qualify as QSPEs to
determine whether they must be consolidated in accordance with ASU 2009-17. An entity is considered a VIE if it possesses one of the following characteristics:



| |  |  | Insufficient equity investment at risk
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | Equity lacks decision-making rights
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | Equity with non-substantive voting rights
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | Lacking the obligation to absorb an entitys expected losses
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Lacking the right to receive an entitys expected residual returns
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the new
guidance, the primary beneficiary is the part that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance; and (2) through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to
absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

To assess whether Grupo
Financiero Galicia has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance, Grupo Financiero Galicia considers all facts and circumstances, including its role in establishing the VIE and its
ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes, first, identifying the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance; and second, identifying which party, if any, has power over those activities.

Under ASC 810-10-65, Banco Galicia should measure the components of the newly consolidated financial trusts at their carrying amounts as of
the adoption date. Grupo Financiero Galicia must determine the amounts of the assets, liabilities, and non-controlling interests of the newly consolidated financial trusts, that would have been recorded in Grupo Financiero Galicias financial
statements as of January 1, 2010, as if ASU 2009-17 had been effective as of the date of Grupo Financiero Galicias initial involvement with the financial trusts. Any



-136-

##### Table of Contents

difference between the net amount added (assets less liabilities of each financial trusts where Grupo Financiero Galicia is primary beneficiary) from Grupo Financiero Galicias balance sheet
and the amount of any previously recognized retained interest is recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings.

Based
on the mentioned evaluation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 Grupo Financiero Galicia consolidated the financial trust Galtrust I in which Grupo Financiero Galicia had a controlling financial interest and for which it is the primary
beneficiary.

Exchange of Assets

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, specifically ASC 310-20, satisfaction of one monetary asset by the receipt of another monetary asset for the
creditor is generally based on the market value of the asset received in satisfaction of the debt (an extinguishment). In this particular case, the securities being received are substantially different in structure and in interest rates than the
debt securities swapped. Therefore, such amounts should initially be recognized at their fair value. The estimated fair value of the securities received will constitute the cost basis of the asset. Any difference between the old asset and the fair
value of the new asset is recognized as a gain or loss.

Banco Galicia exchanged Argentine government bonds denominated in Pesos at 2% due
2014 (Boden 2014 Bonds) with a face value of Ps.683.6 million (recorded in Banco Galicias shareholders equity in February 2009 within the scope of an exchange transaction of National Secured Loans at market price) for Bonar 2015 Bonds
with a face value of Ps.912.7 million.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Bonar 2015 Bonds were considered as available for sale securities and
recorded at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses recognized as a charge or credit to equity through other comprehensive income.

Other-than-temporary impairment

Under U.S. GAAP Bonar 2015 Bonds and Galtrust I, were classified as available-for-sale securities, and therefore, carried at fair value with
changes in the fair value reflected in other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Recognition
and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments ASC 320 establishes a new method of recognizing and reporting other-than-temporary impairments of debt securities. Impairment is now considered to be other than temporary if an entity:

1. intends to sell the security;

2. is more likely than not to be required to sell the security before recovering its cost; or

3. does not expect to recover the securitys entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to
sell)that is, a credit loss.

This credit loss is based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from
the debt security. If a credit loss exists but an entity does not intend to sell the impaired debt security and it is more likely than not to be required to sell before recovery, the impairment is other than temporary. It should therefore be
separated into:

1. the estimated amount relating to the credit loss, and

2. all other changes in fair value.

Only the estimated credit loss amount is recognized in profit or loss; the remaining change in fair value is recognized in other
comprehensive income. This approach more closely aligns the impairment models for debt securities and loans by reflecting only credit losses as impairment in profit and loss.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the fair value of Bonar 2015 Bonds and Galtrust I exceeded their amortized cost. Therefore for U.S. GAAP
purposes we concluded that there was no recognition of impairment.

Principal Trends

Related to Argentina

An economic
and financial scenario marked by a change of approach in respect of the countrys economic policy management is expected in 2016. The new administration has expressed the need to correct current imbalances in several areas, which could have an
impact on activity and employment during the first months of the year. Certain of the main issues to be addressed by the new administration include the normalization of the foreign exchange market, a decrease in the countrys fiscal deficit and
a deceleration of the inflation rate within the context of a devaluation of the Peso and adjustments in the rates charged for utilities. A speedy resolution of the outstanding disagreement with the default debt holders would also likely pave the way
to the re-entrance of Argentine companies in the international capital markets. Provided that those obstacles are successfully overcome, it is possible that economic activity would resume a positive growth trend in the second half of 2016 which, in
turn, may lay the groundwork for even greater economic growth in subsequent years.In respect of prices for key exports, although expectations are not on pace to match export prices seen in 2012 and 2013, expectations for crop exports are optimistic.
On the other hand, the predicted contraction in the Brazilian economy could have a negative impact on Argentine exports and domestic industry (particularly the automotive industry) as Brazil is Argentinas main business partner. The
international economic environment could contribute to economic volatility by increasing exchange rate and currency pressures in the region.

Related to the Financial System

In 2016, we believe that the financial system will continue to gradually increase its level of interaction with the private sector. We believe
that this gradual increase will be driven by different changes in the relevant regulations that the new government is implementing which will result in a less regulated financial system, thereby increasing the competitiveness and efficiency of
Argentina banks as compared to other Latin American banks. We believe that the overall low levels of indebtedness (both at corporate and personal level) as well as the low levels of the use of banking services create potential growth opportunities
for Argentine financial institutions.

In financial standing terms, net results will help maintain capitalization levels according to
Basel Committee regulations. Income from services will still be significant within operating income, whereas the banks will continue working on administrative expenses in order to improve their operating efficiency.

Portfolio quality indicators have been a strength over the last few years despite the modest economic growth and both the non-accrual loan
portfolio and its coverage with allowances have been kept in similar figures. Although 2016 is expected to be another year of low economic growth, these indicators are expected to remain at 2015 levels.

To conclude, we believe that the financial system, which has excellent fundamental indicators, would have a positive financial result in 2016,
with a mid- and long-term macroeconomic environment with renewed and promising expectations.

Related to Us

It is expected that the level of activity of all the subsidiaries of Grupo Financiero Galicia will be consistent with the expectations in this
economic context. Given that Banco Galicia is the most significant asset of Grupo Financiero Galicia, we refer to the trends related to Banco Galicia.

In 2016, Banco Galicia will continue its strategy of providing distinguishing experiences to its clients and offering high-quality products
and services to satisfy the needs of each segment of customers, working to increase its volume of financial intermediation activities with the private sector and to improve its recurring operating results, controlling administrative expenses in an
effort to improve operational efficiency and maintaining an adequate diversification and risk coverage.

As a result of the economic
conditions in Argentina, some deterioration in the quality of the loan portfolio could be expected, although it is likely that its impact on the the income statement will be limited, and that the Bank will preserve an adequate coverage of the
non-accruing portfolio with provisions.

The analysis of these trends should be read in conjunction with the discussion in Item 3.
Key Information- Risk Factors, and with consideration that the Argentine economy has been historically volatile, which has negatively affected the volume and growth of the financial system.

We generate our net earnings/losses from our operating subsidiaries, specifically Banco Galicia, our main operating
subsidiary. Banco Galicias dividend-paying ability has been affected since late 2001 by the effects of the 2001-2002 liquidity crisis and its impact on Banco Galicias income-generation capacity. In addition, there were other restrictions
on Banco Galicias ability to pay dividends resulting from applicable Argentine Central Bank rules and the loan agreements entered into by Banco Galicia as part of its foreign debt restructuring. See Item 8. Financial
Information-Dividend Policy and Dividends.

From 2002 to 2010 we did not receive any dividends from Banco Galicia, which is the
primary source of funds available to us. On April 27, 2011, during Banco Galicias shareholders meeting, a distribution of cash dividends for a total amount of Ps.100 million was approved. Since that date, Banco Galicias
ability to pay dividends was affected due to regulations issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

The extent to which a banking subsidiary
may extend credit or otherwise provide funds to a holding company is limited by Argentine Central Bank rules. For a description of these rules, see Item 4. Information on the Company-Argentine Banking Regulation-Lending Limits.

During fiscal year 2013, Grupo Financiero Galicia received dividends in an amount equal to Ps.101 million, including the remaining amount of
Ps.20 million corresponding to fiscal year 2012 dividends. Similarly, during fiscal years 2014 and 2015, Grupo Financiero Galicia received from its subsidiaries dividends for Ps.128 million and Ps.190 million, respectively. During February 2016,
Grupo Financiero Galicia received dividends for Ps.105 million.

According to Grupo Financiero Galicias policy for the distribution
of dividends and due to Grupo Financiero Galicias financial condition for the fiscal year ended December 2013 and the fact that most of the profits for fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015 corresponded to income from holdings (with just a fraction
corresponding to the realized and liquid profits meeting the requirements to be distributed as per Section 68 of the Corporations Law), the shareholders meeting held on April 29, 2014 approved the distribution of cash dividends for
Ps.39 million. This amount represents 2.97% with regard to 1,300,264,597 class A and B ordinary shares with a face value of Ps.1 each.

For fiscal year 2014, the shareholders meeting held on April 29, 2015 approved the distribution of cash dividends in an amount of
Ps.100 million, which represents a dividend of 7.69% with respect to 1,300,264,597 class A and B ordinary shares of Grupo Financiero Galicia with a face value of Ps.1 each. Similarly, for fiscal year 2015, the shareholders meeting held on
April 26, 2016 approved the distribution of cash dividends for Ps.150 million, which represents a dividend of 11.54% with respect to 1,300,264,597 class A and B ordinary shares of Grupo Financiero Galicia with a face value of Ps.1 each.

Pursuant to the section incorporated by Act No. 25,585 after Section 25 of Act No. 23,966, Grupo Financiero Galicia will
receive the reimbursement of tax withholdings related to the taxes paid on behalf of the shareholders subject to the tax on personal assets as of December 31, 2015. Likewise, pursuant to Section 4 of Act No. 26.893, Grupo Financiero
Galicia will withhold 10% for income tax from those shareholders subject to such tax.

As of December 31, 2015, Grupo Financiero
Galicia, on an individual basis, had cash and due from banks in an amount of Ps.0.8 million and short-term investments made up of special checking account deposits in an amount of Ps.22 million.

As of December 31, 2014, Grupo Financiero Galicia, on an individual basis, had cash and due from banks in an amount of Ps.0.6 million and

##### Table of Contents

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, our operating activities include the operating results, the
origination of loans and other credits to the private sector, as well as raising customer deposits and entering into sales of government securities under repurchase agreement transactions. Our financing activities include issuing bonds in the local
and foreign capital markets and borrowing from foreign and local banks and international credit agencies. Our investing activities primarily consist of the acquisition of equity investments and purchasing of bank premises and equipment.

Management believes that cash flows from operations and available cash and cash equivalent balances, will be sufficient to fund our financial
commitments and capital expenditures for fiscal year 2016.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

In fiscal year 2015, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to Ps.15,625 million, mainly due to: (i) a Ps.22,576 million
increase in deposits, corresponding to an increase of Ps.14,966 million in demand deposits and a Ps.7,610 million increase in time deposits and (ii) an increase of Ps.12,867 million in transactions related to loans, due to higher values of
loans granted, mainly related to credit cards, advances and promissory notes, an effect that was offset by amortizations and payments of interests. Likewise, Ps.3,518 million due to the increase of net other assets and liabilities were provided by
operating activities. In addition, Ps.2,398 million of net cash was provided by operating activities attributable to the portfolio of government and private securities.

In fiscal year 2014, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to Ps.7,515 million, mainly due to: (i) a Ps.5,679 million
increase in deposits, corresponding to an increase of Ps.8,606 million in demand deposits and a Ps.2,927 million decrease in time deposits and (ii) a decrease of Ps.2,698 million in transactions related to loans, due to amortizations and
payments of interests which were higher than the new transactions. Transactions related to personal loans, advances, promissory notes and international trade financing experienced positive cash flows, an effect that was offset by negative cash flows
generated on credit cards transactions. Likewise, Ps.235 million due to the increase of net other assets and liabilities were provided by operating activities. In addition, net cash was used by operating activities as follows: Ps.1,097 million
attributable to the increase in the portfolio of government and private securities, mainly Lebac and trading portfolio, partially offset by the sale of Bonar 2015 bonds, among others.

In fiscal year 2013, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to Ps.3,486 million, due to a Ps.6,798 million increase in deposits,
corresponding to an increase of Ps.4,799 million in demand deposits and of Ps.1,999 million in time deposits, that was partially offset by the increase of Ps.1,883 million in loans mainly attributable to our private-sector loan portfolio
origination. In addition, net cash was used by operating activities as follows: (i) Ps.61 million increase in government and private securities, (ii) Ps.591 million of organization and development expenses, and (iii) Ps.777 million
due to the increase of net other assets and liabilities.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

In fiscal year 2015, net cash used by investing activities amounted to Ps.1,123 million mainly attributable to the acquisition of bank premises
and equipment for Ps.740 million and miscellaneous assets for Ps.393 million.

and equipment for Ps.258 million and miscellaneous assets for Ps.142 million. In addition, net cash was used by other fluctuations for Ps.37 million corresponding to other investing assets.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

In fiscal year 2015, financing activities used cash in the amount of Ps.1,529 million due to: (i) Ps.1,562 million as a consequence of the
payment or cancellation of principal and interest on notes for approximately Ps.4,611 million, partially offset by the issuances of notes for approximately Ps.3,042 million during the same period, (ii) Ps.77 million as a consequence of the
increase in foreign credit facilities, (iii) an increase in loans from local financial institutions for Ps.93 million and (iv) a net decrease in others fluctuations of Ps.137 million corresponding to other financing activities, mainly

fluctuations of Ps.33 million corresponding to other financing activities.

Effect of Exchange Rate on Cash and Cash Equivalents

The evolution of the exchange rate during fiscal year 2015, with an annual increase of 52% as compared to fiscal year 2014, had a significant
effect on the consolidated cash flows, increasing by Ps.5,434 million as compared to fiscal year 2014.

Banco Galicias Liquidity Management

Banco Galicia Consolidated Liquidity Gaps

Liquidity risk is the risk that liquid assets are not available for Banco Galicia to meet financial commitments at contractual maturity, take
advantage of potential investment opportunities and meet demand for credit. To monitor and control liquidity risk, Banco Galicia monitors and systematically calculates the gaps between financial assets and liabilities maturing within set time
intervals based on contractual remaining maturity, on a consolidated basis with the Regional Credit Card Companies and CFA. All the deposits in checking accounts and other demand deposits and deposits in savings accounts are included in the first
time interval. These figures are used to simulate different liquidity crisis scenarios based on assumptions stemming from historical experience.

As of December 31, 2015, the consolidated gaps between maturities of Banco Galicias financial assets and liabilities based on
contractual remaining maturity were as follows:

|(1) | Includes, mainly, debt with retailers due to credit card operations, liabilities in connection with repurchase transactions, debt with domestic credit agencies and collections for third parties. The Less than
One Year bucket also includes Ps.6 million corresponding to Banco Galicias foreign debt not tendered by its holders in the exchange offered to restructure such foreign debt, which was completed in May 2004.

The table above is prepared taking into account contractual maturity. Therefore, all financial assets and liabilities with no maturity date
are included in the Less than One Year category.

Banco Galicia must comply with a maximum limit set by its board of directors
for liquidity mismatches. This limit has been established at -25% (minus 25%) for the ratio of cumulative gap to total liabilities within the first year. As shown in the table above, Banco Galicia complies with the established policy, since such gap
was 6.8% as of December 31, 2015.

Banco Galicia (Unconsolidated) Liquidity Management

The following is a discussion of Banco Galicias liquidity management, excluding the consolidated companies.

Banco Galicias policy is to maintain a level of liquid assets that allows it to meet financial commitments at contractual maturity, take
advantage of potential investment opportunities, and meet customers credit demand. To set the appropriate level, forecasts are made based on historical experience and on an analysis of possible scenarios. This enables management to project
funding needs and alternative funding sources, as well as excess liquidity and placement strategies for such funds. As of December 31, 2015, Banco Galicias unconsolidated liquidity structure was as follows:

The legal liquidity
requirements in the table above correspond to the Minimum Cash Requirements for Peso- and Dollar-denominated liabilities determined by Argentine Central Bank regulations. For more information on the Argentine Central Bank regulations regarding
reserve requirements for liquidity purposes, see Item 4. Information on the Company-Argentine Banking Regulation-Legal Reserve Requirements for Liquidity Purposes.

Our Audit Committee

Grupo Financiero Galicia complies with the provisions set forth by the Capital Markets Law and the regulations set forth by the CNV, which
require that companies which make a public offering of shares should form an Audit Committee, and develop a charter with regulations for its operation.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors established an Audit Committee with three members. Currently, Messrs. Luis O. Oddone, Antonio R.
Garcés and C. Enrique Martin are the members of the Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee is entirely comprised of independent directors under the CNV and Nasdaq requirements. All three members of the Audit Committee are financially literate
and have extensive managerial experience. Mr. Oddone is the financial expert serving on our Audit Committee.

According to the CNV
rules, the Audit Committee is primarily responsible for (i) issuing a report on the Board of Directors proposals for the appointment of the independent auditors and the compensation for the Directors, (ii) issuing a report detailing
the activities performed according to the CNV requirements, (iii) issuing the Audit Committees annual plan and implementing it each fiscal year, (iv) evaluating the external auditors independence, work plans and performance,
(v) evaluating the plans and performance of the internal auditors, (vi) supervising the reliability of our internal control systems, including the accounting system, and of external reporting of financial or other information,
(vii) following-up on the use of information policies on risk management at Grupo Financiero Galicias main subsidiaries, (viii) evaluating the reliability of the financial information to be filed with the CNV and the SEC,
(ix) verifying compliance with the applicable conduct rules, and (x) issuing a report on related party transactions and disclosing any transaction where a conflict of interest exists with corporate governance bodies and controlling
shareholders. The Audit Committee has access to all information and documentation that it requires and is broadly empowered to fulfill its duties. During 2015, the Audit Committee held eleven meetings.

Our Supervisory Committee

Our bylaws provide for a Supervisory Committee consisting of three members who are referred to as syndics (syndics) and three
alternate members who are referred to as alternate syndics (alternate syndics). In accordance with the Corporations Law and our bylaws, the syndics and alternate syndics are responsible for ensuring that all of our actions are in
accordance with applicable Argentine law. Syndics and alternate syndics are elected by the shareholders at the annual general shareholders meeting. Syndics and alternate syndics do not have management functions. Syndics are responsible for,
among other things, preparing a report to shareholders analyzing our financial statements for each year and recommending to the shareholders whether to approve such financial statements. Alternate syndics act in the temporary or permanent absence of
a syndic. Currently, there are three syndics and three alternate syndics. Syndics and alternate syndics are elected for a one-year term.

The following table shows the members of our Supervisory Committee. Each of our syndics was appointed at the ordinary shareholders

Management of Grupo Financiero Galicia

Our organizational structure consists of a chief executive officer (CEO) who reports to the Board of Directors, and the Chief
Financial Officer who reports to the CEO and is in charge of the Financial and Accounting Division.

The CEO ́s main function
consists of implementing the policies defined by the Board of Directors, as well as suggesting to the Board of Directors the application of plans, budgets and company organization. He is also responsible for supervising the Financial and Accounting
Division and assessing the attainment of performance goals of Grupo Financiero Galicia. The position also takes part in the Board of Directors of some subsidiaries.

Our CEO is Mr. Pedro Alberto Richards, who was born on November 14, 1952 and obtained a degree in economics from the Universidad
Católica Argentina. He holds a Master of Science in Management from the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was the director of the National Development Bank (BANADE). He has been associated with Banco

position in the domestic market. Managers who are our employees or our controlled companies employees receive a fixed salary and may receive a bonus based on individual performance. This policy for compensation includes the possibility of
having access to retirement insurance. We do not maintain stock-option, profit-sharing or pension plans or any other retirement plans for the benefit of our managers.

At fiscal year end, annually, provisions are established to cover the variable compensation of Banco Galicias Board of Directors and
employees for such fiscal year. The directors and managers compensation regime includes the possibility of acquiring a retirement insurance policy. Banco Galicia does not have stock-option plans or pension plans or any other retirement plans
for the benefit of its Directors and managers. Banco Galicia does not have a policy establishing any termination benefits for its Directors.

For fiscal year 2015, Banco Galicias ordinary and extraordinary shareholders meeting held on April 26, 2016, approved
compensations for the independent Directors in the total amount of Ps.1.8 million.

Within the current legal framework, membership in
an employee union is voluntary and there is only one union of bank employees with national representation. As of December 31, 2015, approximately 31% of Banco Galicias employees were affiliated with the national bank employee union. As of
December 31, 2015, approximately 96.6% of the Regional Credit Card Companies work force was party to the merchant unions Collective Bargaining Agreement No. 130/75 applicable to trade employees, 7.9% of which were members of a
labor union and 0.03% of which were labor union representatives. As of December 31, 2015, approximately 77% of CFAs employees were affiliated to the merchant union. Usually during the first four months of the year, the bank employee union
and the national commerce employee union renegotiate their respective collective labor agreements in order to establish new minimum wages. As a result of such negotiations, salary increases are granted. In 2015, the Argentine union that represents
employees in the banking sector declared general strikes. These strikes were not particular to any one bank, but rather affected all banks in Argentina to the extent that some or all of the employees of any given bank were members of such
union. In connection with such strikes, certain of the employees of the Bank are members of the referenced union and did participate in the strike; however, the Bank was able to continue

its operations during the course of such strikes as not all of its employees participated. While employees of Banco Galicia have participated in general strikes against the Argentine banking
sector, Banco Galicia has not experienced a targeted strike by its employees against the Bank in particular since 1973 and the Regional Credit Card Companies and CFA have never experienced any strike event. We believe that our relationship with our
employees has developed within normal and satisfactory parameters.

We have a human resources policy that aims at providing our employees
possibilities for growth and personal and socio-economic achievement. We will continue our current policy of monitoring both wage levels and labor conditions in the financial industry in order to be competitive. Our employees receive fixed
compensation and may receive variable compensation according to their level of achievement. We do not maintain any profit-sharing programs for our employees.

The Fundación Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires (the Fundación) is an Argentine non-profit organization that provides
various services to Banco Galicia employees. The various activities of the Fundación include, among others, purchasing school materials for the children of Banco Galicias employees and making donations to hospitals and other charitable
causes, including cultural events. The Fundación is managed by a Council, certain members and alternate members of which are members of our Board of Directors and supervisory committee. Members and alternate members of the Council do not
receive remuneration for their services as trustees.

Nasdaq Corporate Governance Standards

Pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5615(a) (3), a foreign private issuer may follow home country corporate governance practices in lieu of the
requirements of the Rule 5600 Series, provided that the foreign private issuer complies with certain sections of the Rule 5000 Series, discloses each requirement that it does not follow and describes the home relevant country practice followed in
lieu of such requirement. The requirements of the Rule 5000 Series and the Argentine corporate governance practice that we follow in lieu thereof are described below:



| | (i) | Rule 5250 (d) - Distribution of Annual and Interim Reports. In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5250 (d), we follow Argentine law, which requires that companies make public a Spanish language annual report, including
annual audited consolidated financial statements, by filing such annual report with the CNV and the BASE, within 70 calendar days of the end of the companys fiscal year. Interim reports must be filed with the CNV and the BASE within 42
calendar days of the end of each fiscal quarter. The BASE publishes the annual reports and interim reports in the BASE bulletin and makes the bulletin available for inspection at its offices. In addition, our shareholders can receive copies of our
annual reports and any interim reports upon such shareholders request. English language translations of our annual reports and interim reports are furnished to the SEC. We also post the English language translation of our annual reports and
quarterly press releases on our website. Furthermore, under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2000, among us, The Bank of New York, as depositary, and owners of ADSs issued thereunder, we are
required to furnish The Bank of New York with, among other things, English language translations of our annual reports and each of our quarterly press releases. Annual reports and quarterly press releases are available for inspection by ADRs holders
at the offices of The Bank of New York located at, 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York. Finally, Argentine law requires that 20 calendar days before the date of a shareholders meeting, the board of directors must provide to the
shareholders, at the companys executive office or through electronic means, all information relevant to the shareholders meeting, including copies of any documents to be considered by the shareholders (which includes the annual report),
as well as proposals of the companys board of directors.

| | (ii) | Rule 5605 (b) (2)  Executive Sessions of Independent Directors. In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605 (b) (2), we follow Argentine law which does not require independent directors to hold
regularly scheduled meetings at which only such independent directors are present (i.e., executive sessions). Our Board of Directors as a whole is responsible for monitoring our affairs. In addition, under Argentine law, the board of
directors may approve the delegation of specific responsibilities to designated directors or non-director managers of the company. Also, it is mandatory for public companies to form a supervisory committee (composed of syndics), which is
responsible for monitoring the legality of the companys actions under Argentine law and the conformity thereof with its bylaws.

| | (iii) | Rule 5605 (d)  Compensation of Officers. In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605 (d), we follow Argentine law, which does not require companies to form a compensation committee comprised solely of
independent directors. It also is not required under Argentine law that the compensation of the CEO and all other executive officers be determined by either a majority of the independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of
independent directors. Under Argentine law, the board of directors is the corporate body responsible for determining the compensation of the CEO and all other executive officers, so long as they are not directors. In addition, under Argentine law,
the audit committee shall give its opinion about the reasonableness of managements proposals on fees and option plans for directors or managers of the company. Finally, because we are a controlled company as defined in Rule 5615
(c) (1), we are relying on the exemption provided thereby for purposes of complying with Rule 5615 (c) (2).

| | (iv) | Rule 5605 (e) (1)  Nomination of Directors. In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605 (e) (1), we follow Argentine law which requires that directors be nominated directly by the shareholders at the
shareholders meeting and that they be selected and recommended by the shareholders themselves. Under Argentine law, it is the responsibility of the ordinary shareholders meeting to appoint and remove directors and to set their
compensation. In addition, because we are a controlled company as defined in Rule 5615 (c) (1), we are relying on the exemption provided thereby for purposes of complying with Rule 5615 (c) (2).

| | (v) | Rule 5605 (c) (1)  Audit Committee Charter. In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5605 (c) (1), we follow Argentine law, which requires that audit committees have a charter but does not require that
companies certify as to the adoption of the charter nor does it require an annual review and assessment thereof. Argentine law instead requires that companies prepare a proposed plan or course of action with respect to those matters, which are the
responsibility of the companys audit committee. Such plan or course of action could, at the discretion of our audit committee, include a review and assessment of the audit committee charter.

| | (vi) | Rule 5605 (c) (2)  Audit Committee Composition. Argentine law does not require, and it is equally not customary business practice in Argentina, that companies have an audit committee comprised solely of
independent directors. Argentine law instead requires that companies establish an audit committee with at least three members comprised of a majority of independent directors as defined by Argentine law. Nonetheless, although not required by
Argentine law, we had an Audit Committee entirely comprised of three independent directors, pursuant to the definition of independence in Rule 10 A-3 (b) (1), one of which the Board of Directors determined to be a financial expert. In addition,
we have a supervisory committee (comisión fiscalizadora) composed of three syndics, who are responsible for monitoring the legality, under Argentine law, of the actions of our Board of Directors and the conformity of such
actions with our bylaws.

| | (vii) | Rule 5620 (c)  Quorum. In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5620 (c), we follow Argentine law and our bylaws, which distinguish between ordinary meetings and extraordinary meetings and require, in connection
with ordinary meetings, that a quorum consist of a majority of stock entitled to vote. If no quorum is present at the first meeting, a second meeting may be called at which the shareholders present, whatever their number, constitute a quorum and
resolutions may be adopted by an absolute majority of the votes present. Argentine law and our bylaws require, in connection with extraordinary meetings, that a quorum consist of 60% of the stock entitled to vote. However, if such quorum is not
present at the first meeting, our bylaws provide that a second meeting may be called which may be held with the number of shareholders present. In both ordinary and extraordinary meetings, decisions are adopted by an absolute majority of votes
present at the meeting, except for certain fundamental matters (such as mergers and spin-offs (when we are not the surviving entity and the surviving entity is not listed on any stock exchange), anticipated liquidation, a change in our domicile to
outside of Argentina, total or partial recapitalization of our statutory capital following a loss, any transformation in our corporate legal form or a substantial change in our corporate purpose) which require an approval by vote of the majority of
all the stock entitled to vote (all stock being entitled to only one vote).

| | (viii) | Rule 5620 (b)  Solicitation of Proxies. In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5620 (b), we follow Argentine law which requires that notices of shareholders meetings be published, for five consecutive
days, in the Official Gazette and in a widely circulated newspaper in Argentina no earlier than 45 calendar days prior to the meeting and at least 20 calendar days prior to such meeting. In order to attend a meeting and be listed on the meeting
registry, shareholders are required to submit evidence of their book-entry share account held at Caja de Valores S.A. (Caja de Valores) up to three business days prior to the scheduled meeting date. If entitled to attend the meeting, a
shareholder may be represented by proxy (properly executed and delivered with a certified signature) granted to any other person, with the exception of a director, syndic, member of the surveillance committee (consejo de
vigilancia), manager or employee of the issuer, which are prohibited by Argentine law from acting as proxies. In addition, our ADRs holders receive, prior to the shareholders meeting, a notice listing the matters on the agenda, a
copy of the annual report and a voting card.

| | (ix) | Rule 5630 (a)  Conflicts of Interest. In lieu of the requirements of Rule 5630 (a), we follow Argentine law which requires that related party transactions be approved by the audit committee when the
transaction exceeds one percent (1%) of the corporations net worth, measured pursuant to the last audited balance sheet. Directors can contract with the corporation only on terms consistent with prevailing market terms. If the contract is
not in accordance with prevailing market terms, such transaction must be pre-approved by the board of directors (excluding the interested director). In addition, under Argentine law, a shareholder is required to abstain from voting on a business
transaction in which its interests may be in conflict with the interests of the company. In the event such shareholder votes on such business transaction and such business transaction would not have been approved without such shareholders
vote, such shareholder may be liable to the company for damages and the resolution may be declared void.

noted above, we are in full compliance with all other applicable Nasdaq corporate governance standards.

Members of the three controlling families have owned the majority of the issued share capital of Banco Galicia
since 1959. Members of the Escasany family have been on the board of directors of Banco Galicia since 1923. The Ayerza and Braun families have been represented on Banco Galicias board of directors since 1943 and 1947, respectively. Currently,
there are five members of these families on our Board of Directors.

On September 13, 1999, the controlling shareholders of Banco
Galicia formed EBA Holding S.A., an Argentine corporation, which is 100% owned by our controlling shareholders. EBA Holding holds 100% of our class A shares.

Currently, EBA Holding only has class A shares outstanding. EBA Holdings bylaws provide for certain restrictions on the sale or transfer
of its class A shares. While the class A shares of EBA Holding may be transferred to any other class A shareholder of EBA Holding, any transfer of such class A shares to third parties would automatically result in the conversion of the sold shares
into class B shares of EBA Holding having one vote per share. In addition, EBA Holdings bylaws contain rights of first refusal, buy-sell provisions and tag-along rights.

As of December 31, 2015, we had 68 identified United States record shareholders (not considering The Bank of New York), of which 14 held
our class B shares and 54 held our ADSs. Such United States holders, in the aggregate, held approximately 281 million of our class B shares, representing approximately 22% of our total outstanding capital stock as of such date.

person is able to exercise significant influence nor are there any proposed transactions with such persons. For purposes of this paragraph, this includes enterprises owned by directors or major
shareholders of Grupo Financiero Galicia or its non-banking subsidiaries that have a member of key management in common with Grupo Financiero Galicia or its non-banking subsidiaries, as applicable. In addition, significant influence
means the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the enterprise but means less than control. Shareholders beneficially owning a 10% interest in the voting power of Grupo Financiero Galicia or its non-banking
subsidiaries are presumed to have a significant influence on Grupo Financiero Galicia or its non-banking subsidiaries, as applicable.

Some of our directors and the directors of Banco Galicia have been involved in certain credit transactions with Banco Galicia as permitted by
Argentine law. The Corporations Law and the Argentine Central Banks regulations allow directors of a limited liability company to enter into a transaction with such company if such transaction follows prevailing market conditions.
Additionally, a banks total financial exposure to related individuals or legal entities is subject to the regulations of the Argentine Central Bank. Such regulations set limits on the amount of financial exposure that can be extended by a bank
to affiliates based on, among other things, a percentage of a banks RPC. See Item 4. Information on the Company-Argentine Banking Regulation-Lending Limits.

Banco Galicia is required by the Argentine Central Bank to present to its board of directors, on a monthly basis, the outstanding amounts of
financial assistance granted to directors, controlling shareholders, officers and other related entities, which are transcribed in the minute books of the board of directors of Banco Galicia. The Argentine Central Bank establishes that the financial
assistance to directors, controlling shareholders, officers and other related entities must be granted on an equal basis with respect to rates, tenor and guarantees as loans granted to the general public.

In this section total financial exposure comprises equity interests and financial assistance (all credit related items such as
loans, holdings of corporate debt securities without quotation, guarantees granted and unused balances of loans granted, among others), as this term is defined in Item 4. Information on the Company-Argentine Banking Regulation-Lending
Limits.

Related parties refers mainly to our directors and the directors of Banco Galicia, our senior officers and
senior officers of Banco Galicia, our syndics and Banco Galicias syndics, our controlling shareholders as well as all individuals who are related to them by a family relationship and any entities directly or indirectly affiliated with any of
these parties, not required to be consolidated.

The following table presents the aggregate amounts of total financial exposure of Banco
Galicia to related parties, the number of recipients, the average amounts and the single largest exposures as of the end of the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and as of February 29, 2016, the last date for which information is
available.

The financial assistance granted to our directors, officers and related parties by Banco Galicia was granted
in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other non-related parties, and did not involve more than the normal risk
of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

In June 2011, Banco Galicia entered into an agreement with Galicia Seguros, a
company indirectly controlled by Grupo Financiero Galicia, pursuant to which the Bank can offer insurance products on behalf of Galicia Seguros. In addition, they entered into an agreement for a one-year period pursuant to which Galicia Seguros

insures the Bank for the balances of certain loans in the case of death of its clients. On July 31, 2014, Banco Galicia renewed both agreements with Galicia Seguros, for an additional year,
with automatic deferral. Such agreements were considered to be related party transactions pursuant to Section 72 of the Capital Markets Law.

During March and April 2012, Grupo Financiero Galicia carried out foreign exchange forward transactions with Banco Galicia in an aggregate
amount of US$14 million, these matured on March 27, 2013.

The board of directors of Banco Galicia, during its meeting held on
February 6, 2013, decided to grant a checking account overdraft in favor of Grupo Financiero Galicia for up to Ps.150 million with a maturity date of June 30, 2013. On March 20, 2013 such checking account overdraft was increased to
Ps.184 million with a maturity date of one year.

Similarly, the board of directors of Banco Galicia, during its meeting held on

|Item 8. | Financial Information

We have elected to provide the financial information set
forth in Item 18 of this annual report.

Legal Proceedings

We are a party to the following legal proceedings:

Banco Galicia

In response to
certain pending legal proceedings, Banco Galicia has recorded reserves to cover (i) various types of claims filed by customers against it (e.g. claims for thefts from safe deposit boxes, collections of checks that had been fraudulently altered,
discrepancies related to deposit and payment services rendered to Banco Galicias customers, etc.) and (ii) estimated amounts payable under labor-related lawsuits filed against Banco Galicia by former employees.

As of the date of this annual report, provincial tax collection authorities, as well as tax collection authorities from the Autonomous City of
Buenos Aires, are in the process (in different degrees of completion) of conducting audits and assessments mainly regarding the Compensatory Bond granted by the National Government to compensate financial institutions for the losses generated by the
asymmetric pesification of loans and deposits.

Regarding the assessment of tax collection authorities from the Autonomous City of Buenos
Aires, within the framework of the legal actions brought by Banco Galicia with the purpose of challenging the assessment of the tax collection authorities, a preliminary injunction was granted by the Argentine Federal Court of Appeals in
Administrative Matters for the amount corresponding to the Compensatory Bond, which was ratified by the Supreme Court of Justice. Therefore, the Court ordered the Governmental Public Revenue Authority to refrain from starting tax enforcement
proceedings or otherwise requesting precautionary measures for such purpose until a final judgment is issued. The proceedings are currently pending a decision by the Argentine Federal Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters with regard to the
appeal filed by Banco de Galicia against the decision issued on the core issue by the Court of First Instance in November 2013. In any case, it is worth noting the decision issued by the federal prosecutor of the Court of Appeals was favorable to
Banco de Galicia.

##### Table of Contents

With regard to the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires claims on account of other items, Banco
Galicia adhered to the System for the Settlement of Tax Liabilities in Arrears (Law No. 3,461 and the related regulations), which contemplated the total relief of interest and fines. The Banks adherence to such system was communicated
within the framework of the respective cases before the corresponding judicial authorities. In connection with the assessments made by tax collection authorities from the Province of Buenos Aires, under the framework of some of the processes under
discussion at the Provincial Tax Court, at this stage of proceedings the decision issued was: (i) unfavorable to Banco Galicias request regarding the items not related to the Compensatory Bond, and (ii) favorable with regard to the
non-taxability thereof. Therefore, Banco Galicia adhered to the System for the Regularization of Tax Debts (Regulatory Decision No. 12 and related decisions), which contemplated discounts on the amounts not related to the Compensatory Bond. The
Banks adherence to such system was communicated within the framework of the respective cases before the corresponding judicial authorities. In turn, the authorities from the Province of Buenos Aires objected to the judgment rendered by the
Provincial Tax Court with regard to the Compensatory Bond, and requested the Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters of La Plata to set such decision aside. Banco Galicia entered an appearance and filed a motion for lack of jurisdiction, since it
believes only the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice has jurisdiction to issue a decision on such matter. On April 15, 2014, the aforementioned court sustained the motion for lack of jurisdiction and ordered the proceedings to be filed. The
authorities from the Province of Buenos Aires filed an appeal before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Province of Buenos Aires, which has not issued a decision to date.

Furthermore, Banco Galicia has been expressing its disagreement regarding claims made by various jurisdictions at the corresponding
administrative and/or legal proceedings.

These proceedings and their possible effects are constantly being monitored by the Banks
management. Even though Banco Galicia believes it has complied with its tax liabilities in full pursuant to current regulations, provisions deemed adequate for each proceeding have been established.

Consumer Protection Associations, on behalf of consumers, have filed claims against Banco Galicia in connection with the collection of certain
financial charges.

The Bank does not believe that the resolution of these controversies will have a significant impact on its financial
condition.

Regional Credit Card Companies

As of the date of this annual report, the AFIP, Provincial Revenue Boards and Municipalities are in the process of conducting audits and
assessments, in different degrees of completion, at the companies controlled by Tarjetas Regionales. Said agencies have served notices and made claims regarding taxes applicable to Tarjetas Regionaless subsidiaries. Therefore, the companies
are taking the corresponding administrative and legal steps in order to solve such issues. The original amount claimed for taxes totaled approximately Ps.18 million.

Based on the opinions of their tax advisors, the companies believe that the abovementioned claims are both legally and technically groundless
and that taxes related to the claims have been correctly calculated in accordance with tax regulations in force and existing case law.

Compañía Financiera Argentina

The AFIP conducted audits on fiscal years 1998 and 1999, not accepting certain uncollectible loans to be recorded as uncollectible receivables
deductible from income tax and minimum presumed income tax. The original amount claimed for taxes by the tax collection authorities totaled approximately Ps.2 million.

In July 2013, the Federal Tax Court notified the judgment sustaining the appeal filed by the company. Tax collection authorities later filed
an appeal against the aforementioned judgment, which was answered by the company in December 2013. In May 2014, the Argentine Federal Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters rejected the appeal filed by the AFIP, thus confirming the judgment
issued by the Federal Tax Court, which was favorable to CFA. In June 2014, the AFIP filed an appeal before the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice.

##### Table of Contents

Based on the information available at the date of this annual report, CFA believes that the
decision to be issued by the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice will not differ from the judgments issued by the other courts that heard the case.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, CFA has established the provisions deemed adequate for the proceeding.

Consumer Protection Associations, on behalf of consumers, have filed claims against CFA in connection with the collection of certain financial
charges.

The company does not believe that the resolution of these controversies will have a significant impact on its financial
condition.

Dividend Policy and Dividends

Dividend Policy

Grupo Financiero
Galicias policy for the distribution of dividends envisages, among other factors, the obligatory nature of establishing a legal reserve, the companys financial condition and its indebtedness, the business requirements of affiliated
companies and, mainly, that the profits recorded in the financial statements are, to a great extent, income from holdings and not realized and liquid profits, a requirement of Section 68 of the Corporations Law so that it is possible to
distribute them as dividends. The proposal to distribute dividends arising from such analysis has to be approved at the shareholders meeting that discusses the Financial Statements corresponding to each fiscal year.

We may only declare and pay dividends out of our retained earnings representing the profit realized on our operations and investments. The
Corporations Law and our bylaws state that no profits may be distributed until prior losses are covered. Dividends paid on our class A shares and class B shares will equal one another on a per share basis. As required by the Corporations Law, 5% of
our net income is allocated to a legal reserve until the reserve equals 20% of our outstanding capital. Dividends may not be paid if the legal reserve has been impaired until it is fully restored. The legal reserve is not available for distribution
to shareholders.

Our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders principally depends on (i) our net income, (ii) cash
availability, (iii) indebtedness and (iv) applicable legal requirements.

Holders of our ADSs will be entitled to receive any
dividends payable in respect of our underlying class B shares. We will pay cash dividends to the ADSs depositary in Pesos, although we reserve the right to pay cash dividends in any other currency, including Dollars. The ADSs deposit agreement
provides that the depositary will convert cash dividends received by the ADSs depositary in Pesos to Dollars and, after deduction or upon payment of fees and expenses of the ADSs depositary and deduction of other amounts permitted to be deducted
from such cash payments in accordance with the ADSs deposit agreement (such as for unpaid taxes by the ADSs holders in connection with personal asset taxes or otherwise), will make payment to holders of our ADSs in Dollars.

Dividends

Grupo Financiero Galicia

As a holding company, our principal source of cash from which to pay dividends on our shares is dividends or other intercompany transfers from
our subsidiaries, primarily Banco Galicia. Due to the dividend restrictions contained in Banco Galicias loan agreements in connection with Banco Galicias foreign debt restructuring and in some Argentine Central Bank regulations, our
ability to distribute cash dividends to our shareholders has been materially and adversely affected since late 2001 until 2010, when Banco Galicia obtained the authorization to distribute its profits.

After the end of fiscal year 2011, the Argentine Central Bank modified its regulations governing the minimum capital requirements and dividend
distribution and, consequently, Banco Galicia has not paid dividends to date. However, Grupo Financiero Galicia paid a cash dividend corresponding to fiscal year 2012 in the amount of Ps.24 million, equivalent to Ps.0.0196 per share, for fiscal year
2013, Ps.39 million equivalent to Ps.0.0297 per share and for fiscal year 2014, Ps.100 million equivalent to Ps.0.0769, subject to the deduction, when applicable, of the personal assets tax and the 10% withhold for income tax.

##### Table of Contents

Due to the fact that most of the profits for fiscal year 2015 correspond to income by holdings
and just a fraction corresponds to the realized and liquid profits meeting the requirements to be distributed as per Section 68 of the Corporations Law, and taking as well into consideration Grupo Financiero Galicias financial
condition, during the shareholders meeting held on April 26, 2016 a payment of dividends in cash was approved in an amount of Ps.150 million, which represents 11.536% with regard to 1,300,264,597 class A and B ordinary shares with a face
value of Ps.1 each.

Pursuant to the section incorporated by Act No. 25,585 after Section 25 of Act No. 23,966, Grupo
Financiero Galicia will receive the reimbursement of withholding taxes related to taxes paid on behalf of the shareholders subject to tax on personal assets as of December 31, 2015. Additionally, pursuant to Section 4 of Act
No. 26,893, the Company will withhold 10% for income tax from those shareholders subject to such tax.

For more information on
requirements for dividend distribution, see Item 4. Information on the Company-Argentine Banking Regulation-Profit Distribution.

Banco Galicia

At the close of the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2015, Banco Galicias capital, non-capitalized contributions, profit reserves, adjustments to shareholders equity and retained earnings (not including the fiscal years net income) totaled Ps.9.899
million.

Banco Galicias net income for fiscal year 2015 amounted to Ps.3,913 million. Taking into consideration the Argentine
Central Bank rules regarding the distribution of profits, as explained above, Banco Galicias board of directors proposed at the shareholders meeting held on April 26, 2016, and such shareholders approved, the allocation of Ps.783
million to legal reserve and Ps.3,130 million to discretionary reserve for the future distribution of profits.

Regional Credit Card Companies

During the ordinary and extraordinary shareholders meeting held on April 4, 2016, the shareholders decided to pay a cash dividend
corresponding to fiscal year 2015 in the amount of Ps.210 million.

Sudamericana Holding

On August 27, 2015, Sudamericana held an extraordinary shareholders meeting, at which shareholders approved the payment of cash
dividends in the amount of Ps.150 million.

CFA

During the shareholders meeting held on April 21, 2016, the shareholders decided to pay a cash dividend corresponding to fiscal year
2015 in the amount of Ps.300 million. This dividend distribution is still pending approval of the Argentine Central Bank.

Significant Changes

Argentine Securities Market

The principal and oldest exchange for the Argentine securities market is the BASE. The BASE started operating in 1854 and handles approximately
95% of all equity trading in Argentina. Securities listed on the BASE include corporate equity and debt securities and government securities. Debt securities listed on the BASE may also be listed on the MAE. The MERVAL, which is affiliated with the
BASE, was founded in 1929 and is the largest stock market in Argentina. The MERVAL is a private entity, whose capital is integrated by shares admitted to public offer regime and was registered as a market by the CNV under N°16. Its capital is
composed of 183 outstanding shares and there are 214 agents registered as members of the Merval market. We are member of the Merval through Galicia Valores, a subsidiary that owns three shares. Additionally, the Bank, within the framework of the
Capital Market Law, was authorized by the CNV to act as a settlement and clearing agent and trading agent-comprehensive, and was added as member of the MERVAL.

Trading on the BASE is conducted mostly through the Sistema Integrado de Negociación Asistida por Computación(Integrated
Computer Assisted Trading System, SINAC) although there are still some transactions carried out by continuous open outcry, the traditional auction system, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each business day

##### Table of Contents

of the year. SINAC is a computer trading system that permits trading in debt and equity securities and is accessed by brokers directly from workstations located at their offices. As a result of
an agreement between the MERVAL and the MAE, equity securities are traded exclusively on the BASE and corporate and government debt securities are traded on the MAE and the BASE. Currently, all transactions relating to listed corporate and
government debt securities can be effected on SINAC. In addition, a substantial over-the-counter market exists for private trading in listed debt securities and, prior to the agreement described above, equity securities. Such trades are reported on
the MAE.

Although companies may list all of their capital stock on the BASE, in most cases the controlling shareholders retain the
majority of a companys capital stock. This results in only a relatively small percentage of most companies stock being available for active trading by the public on the BASE. Even though individuals have historically constituted the
largest group of investors in Argentinas equity markets, in recent years, banks and insurance companies have shown an interest in these markets. Argentine mutual funds, by contrast, continue to have very low participation in the market.
Although 99 companies had equity securities listed on the BASE as of December 31, 2015, the 10 most-traded companies on the exchange accounted for approximately 84% of total trading value during 2015. Our shares were the third most-traded
shares on the BASE in 2015, with a 14% share of trading volume.

The Córdoba Stock Exchange is another important stock market in
Argentina. Securities listed on the Córdoba Stock Exchange include both corporate equity and debt securities and government securities. Through an agreement with the BASE, all the securities listed on the BASE are authorized to be listed and
subsequently traded on the Córdoba Stock Exchange. Thus, many transactions that originate on the Córdoba Stock Exchange relate to companies listed on the BASE and such trades are subsequently settled in Buenos Aires.

The MAE is a self-regulated organization that is supervised by the CNV. MAE is mainly comprised by private banks, either composed by national
or foreign capital, national banks, provincial banks, municipal Banks, cooperative Banks, financial companies, exchange companies and agents.

Market Regulations

The CNV oversees the Argentine securities markets and is responsible for authorizing public offerings of
securities and supervising brokers, public companies and mutual funds. Argentine pension funds and insurance companies are regulated by separate Argentine government agencies, while financial institutions are regulated mainly by the Argentine
Central Bank. The Argentine securities markets are regulated by the CNV, which was created by Law No. 17,811, as amended.

In
compliance with the provisions of Law No. 20,643 and the Decrees No. 659/74 and No. 2,220/80, most debt and equity securities traded on the exchanges and the MAE must, unless otherwise instructed by the shareholders, be deposited by
the shareholders in Caja de Valores, which is a corporation owned by the BASE, the MERVAL and certain provincial exchanges. Caja de Valores is the central securities depository of Argentina, which provides depository facilities for securities and
acts as a transfer and paying agent in connection therewith. It also handles settlement of securities transactions carried out on the BASE and operates the computerized exchange information system.

The level of regulation of the market for Argentine securities and investors activities is relatively low as compared to the United
States and certain other countries, and enforcement of existing regulatory provisions has been limited. In addition, there may be less publicly available information about Argentine companies than is regularly published by or about companies in
these countries. However, the CNV has taken steps to strengthen disclosure and regulatory standards for the Argentine securities market, including the issuance of regulations prohibiting insider trading and requiring insiders to report on their
ownership of securities, with associated penalties for non-compliance.

In order to improve Argentine securities market regulation, Decree
No. 677/01 or Decree for Transparency in the Public Offering, was promulgated and took effect on June 1, 2001. This decree has come to be regarded as the financial consumers bill of rights. Its objective is to
provide transparency and protection to participants in the capital markets. The decree applies to individuals and entities that participate in the public offering of securities and to stock exchanges as well. Among its key provisions, the decree
broadens the definition of security; governs the treatment of negotiable securities; obligates publicly listed companies to form audit committees composed of three or more members of the board of the directors, the majority of whom must
be

independent under CNV regulations; authorizes market-stabilization transactions under certain circumstances; governs insider trading, market manipulation and securities fraud; and regulates
going-private transactions and acquisitions of voting shares, including controlling stakes in public companies.

In order to offer
securities to the public in Argentina, an issuer must meet certain requirements of the CNV regarding assets, operating history, management and other matters, and only securities for which an application for a public offering has been approved by the
CNV may be listed on the corresponding stock exchange. This approval does not imply any kind of certification of assurance related to the merits of the quality of the securities, or the solvency of the issuer. Issuers of listed securities are
required to file unaudited quarterly financial statements and audited annual financial statements, as well as various other periodic reports, with the CNV and the corresponding stock exchange.

Securities can be freely traded on the Argentine markets but certain restrictions exist regarding access by residents and non-residents to the
local foreign exchange market and to transfers of foreign exchange abroad. See Item 4. Information on the Company-Government Regulation-Foreign Exchange Market.

On October 2007, the CNV passed Resolution No. 516/07 providing for the voluntary adoption of a corporate governance code. The CNV
recommends adoption of such code by public companies but requires that their policy with respect to each topic described in the code be disclosed in detail in the annual report. This resolution was effective for fiscal years beginning on
January 1, 2008 and after and, therefore, public companies, including us, have to report on their degree of fulfillment of each topic of such code.

In December 2012, the Argentine Congress passed the Capital Markets Law (26,831), which became effective on January 2013, replacing Law
No.17,811 and Decree No. 677/01, with the aim of regulating the capital market under the supervision of the CNV and broadening the CNVs powers. Additionally, the law intends to enhance the growth of local markets, to develop new and
simplified negotiating systems and to create new regulation standards for the Argentine stock exchange, markets and other intermediary agents.

Description of Our Bylaws

General

Set forth below is a brief
description of certain provisions of our bylaws and Argentine law and regulations with regard to our capital stock. Your rights as a holder of our capital stock are subject to Argentine corporate law, which may differ from the corporate laws of
other jurisdictions. This description is not purported to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our bylaws, Argentine law and the rules of the BASE, the Córdoba Stock Exchange as well as the CNV. A copy of our bylaws
has been filed with and can be examined at the CNV in Buenos Aires and the SEC in Washington, D.C.

We were incorporated on
September 14, 1999, as a stock corporation under the laws of Argentina and registered on September 30, 1999, with the IGJ, under corporate registration number 14,519 of Book 7, Volume of Stock Corporations. Our domicile is in Buenos Aires,
Argentina. Under our bylaws, our duration is until June 30, 2100 and we are exclusively a financial and investment company (as stated in Chapter 2. Purpose. Article 3. of our bylaws). This duration may be extended by resolution
taken at an extraordinary shareholders meeting.

Our bylaws do not contain any provision governing the ownership threshold above
which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

Outstanding Capital Stock

Our total subscribed and paid-in share capital as of December 31, 2015, amounted to Ps.1,300,264,947, composed of class A shares and class
B shares, each with a par value of Ps.1. The following table presents the number of our shares outstanding as of December 31, 2015, and the voting interest that the shares represent.

Registration and Transfer

The class B shares are book-entry common shares held through Caja de Valores. Caja de Valores maintains a stock registry for us and only those
persons listed in such registry will be recognized as our shareholders. Caja de Valores periodically delivers to us a list of the shareholders as at a certain date.

The class B shares are transferable on the books of Caja de Valores. Caja de Valores records all transfers in our registry. Within 10 days of
any such transfer, Caja de Valores is required to confirm the registration of transfer with the transferor.

Voting Rights

At shareholders meetings, each class A share is entitled to five votes and each class B share is entitled to one vote. However, class A
shares are entitled to only one vote in certain matters, such as:



| |  |  | a merger or spin-off in which we are not the surviving corporation, unless the acquirers shares are authorized to be publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a transformation in our legal corporate form;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a fundamental change in our corporate purpose;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a change of our domicile to outside Argentina;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a voluntary termination of our public offering or listing authorization;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our continuation following a delisting or a mandatory cancellation of our public offering or listing authorization;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a total or partial recapitalization of our statutory capital following a loss; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the appointment of syndics.
| | - |  | ---------------------------

All distinctions between our class A shares and our class B
shares will be eliminated upon the occurrence of any of the following change of control events:



| |  |  | EBA Holding sells 100% of its class A shares;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | EBA Holding sells a portion of our class A shares to a third person who, when aggregating all our class A shares with our class B shares owned by such person, if any, obtains 50% plus one vote of our total votes; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the current shareholders of EBA Holding sell shares of EBA Holding that will allow the buyer to exercise more than 50% of the voting power of EBA Holding at any general shareholders meeting of EBA Holding
shareholders, except for transfers to other current shareholders of EBA Holding or to their heirs or their legal successors or to entities owned by any of them.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Limited Liability of Shareholders

Shareholders are not liable for our obligations. Shareholders liability is limited to the payment of the shares for which they subscribe.
However, shareholders who have a conflict of interest with us and do not abstain from voting may be held liable for damages to us. Also, shareholders who willfully or negligently vote in favor of a resolution that is subsequently declared void by a
court as contrary to Argentine law or our bylaws may be held liable for damages to us or to third parties, including other shareholders, resulting from such resolutions.

Directors

Our bylaws provide that
the Board of Directors shall be composed by at least three and at most nine members, as decided at a general ordinary shareholders meeting. To be appointed to our Board of Directors, such person must have been presented as a candidate by
shareholders who represent at least 10% of our voting rights, at least three business days before the date the general ordinary shareholders meeting is to be held. Our bylaws do not state an age limit over which the directors cannot serve on
our board.

##### Table of Contents

At each annual shareholders meeting, the term of one third of the members of our Board of
Directors (no fewer than three directors) expires and their successors are elected to serve for a term of three years. The shareholders meeting shall have the power to fix a shorter period (one or two years) for the terms of office of one,
several or all the directors. This system of electing directors is intended to help maintain the continuity of the board. Alternate directors replace directors until the following general ordinary shareholders meeting is held. Directors may
also be replaced by alternate directors if a director will be absent from a board meeting. The Board of Directors is required to meet at least once every month and anytime any one of the directors or syndics so requests.

Our bylaws state that the Board of Directors may decide to appoint an executive committee and/or a delegate director.

Our bylaws do not provide for any arrangements or understandings with major shareholders, customers, suppliers or others, pursuant to which
any person referred to in this annual report was selected as a director or member of senior management.

Additionally, pursuant to our
bylaws, any borrowing powers on behalf of the Company are granted to our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has the power to delegate these borrowing powers to our directors through a power of attorney and currently certain of our directors
have powers of attorney to negotiate the terms of and borrow money on behalf of the Company. Furthermore, as stated by our bylaws, the chairman of our Board of Directors is also the legal representative of the Company. Although our bylaws do not
expressly address a directors power to vote on proposals, arrangements or contracts in which the director has a material interest, pursuant to customary Argentine business practice and certain tenants of Argentine corporate law, our directors
do not vote on proposals, arrangements or contracts in which the director has a material interest.

Appointment of Directors and Syndics by
Cumulative Voting

The Corporations Law provides for the use of cumulative voting to enable minority shareholders to appoint
members of the board of directors and syndics. Upon the completion of certain requirements, shareholders are entitled to appoint up to one third of the vacancies to be filled on the board of directors by cumulative voting. Each shareholder voting
cumulatively has the number of votes resulting from multiplying the number of votes to which such shareholder would normally be entitled by the number of vacancies to be filled. Such shareholder may apportion his votes or cast all such votes for one
or a number of candidates not exceeding one third of the vacancies to be filled.

Compensation of Directors

The Corporations Law and the CNV establish rules regarding the compensation of directors. The maximum amount of aggregate compensation that the
members of the board of directors may receive, including salaries and other compensation for the performance of permanent technical and administrative services, may not exceed 25.0% of profits of each fiscal year. This maximum amount shall be
limited to 5.0% when no dividends are distributed to the shareholders and shall be increased proportionately to the dividend distribution until the 25.0% limit is reached when all profits are distributed.

The Corporations Law provides that aggregate director compensation may exceed the maximum percentage of computable profit in any one year when
the companys profits are non-existent or too small as to allow payment of a reasonable compensation to board members which have been engaged in technical or administrative services to the company, provided that such proposal is described in
the notice of the agenda for the ordinary shareholders meeting and is approved by a majority of shareholders present at such shareholders meeting.

In addition to the above, our bylaws establish that best practices and national and international market standards regarding directors with
similar duties and responsibilities shall be considered when determining the compensation of board members.

##### Table of Contents

Syndics

Our bylaws, in accordance with Argentine law, provide for the maintenance of a supervisory committee whose members are three permanent syndics
and three alternate syndics. Syndics are elected for a one-year term and may be re-elected. Alternate syndics replace permanent syndics in case of absence. For the appointment of syndics, each of our class A shares and class B shares has only one
vote. Fees for syndics are established by the shareholders at the annual ordinary shareholders meeting. Their function is to oversee the management of the company, to control the legality of the actions of the board of directors, to attend all
board of directors meetings, to attend all shareholders meetings, to prepare reports for the shareholders on the financial statements with their opinion, and to provide information regarding the company to shareholders that represent at
least 2% of the capital stock. Syndics liabilities are joint and several and unlimited for the non-fulfillment of their duties. They are also jointly and severally liable, together with the members of the board of directors, if the proper
fulfillment of their duties as syndics would have avoided the damage or the losses caused by the members of the board of directors.

Shareholders Meetings

Shareholders meetings may be ordinary meetings or extraordinary meetings. An annual ordinary shareholders meeting is required to be
held in each fiscal year to consider the matters outlined in Article 234 of the Corporations Law, including, among others:



| |  |  | approval of the financial statements and general performance of the management for the preceding fiscal year;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | appointment and remuneration of directors and members of the supervisory committee;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | allocation of profits; and
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | any other matter the board of directors decides to submit to the shareholders meeting concerning the companys business administration. Matters which may be discussed at these or other ordinary meetings
include resolutions regarding the responsibility of directors and members of the supervisory committee, as well as capital increases and the issuance of notes.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extraordinary shareholders meetings may be called at any time to discuss matters beyond the competence of the ordinary meeting,
including but not limited to amendments to the bylaws, matters related to the liquidation of a company, limitation of the shareholders preemptive rights to subscribe new shares, issuance of bonds and debentures, transformation of the corporate
form, a merger into another company and spin-offs, early winding-up, change of the companys domicile to outside Argentina, total or partial repayment of capital for losses, and a substantial change in the corporate purpose set forth in the
bylaws.

Shareholders meetings may be convened by the board of directors or by the syndics. A shareholder or group of shareholders
holding at least 5.0% in the aggregate of our capital stock may request the board of directors or the syndics to convene a general shareholders meeting to discuss the matters indicated by the shareholder.

Once a meeting has been convened with an agenda, the agenda limits the matters to be decided upon at such meeting and no other matters may be
decided upon.

Additionally, our bylaws provide that any shareholder holding at least 5% in aggregate of our capital stock may present, in
writing, to the Board of Directors, before February 28 of each year, proposals of items to be included in the agenda at the annual general ordinary shareholders meeting. The Board of Directors is not obligated to include such items in the
agenda.

Class B shares represented by ADSs will be voted or caused to be voted by the Depositary in accordance with instructions of the
holders of such ADSs. In the event instructions are not received from the holder, the Depositary shall give a discretionary proxy for the shares represented by such ADSs to a person designated by us.

Notice of each shareholders meeting must be published in the Official Gazette, and in a widely circulated newspaper in the
countrys territory, at least twenty days prior to the meeting but not more than forty-five days prior to the date on which the meeting is to be held. The board of directors will determine the appropriate publication of notices outside
Argentina in accordance with the requirements of the jurisdictions and exchanges on which our shares are traded. In order to attend a meeting and to be listed on the meeting registry, shareholders must submit evidence of their book-entry share
account held at Caja de Valores at least three business days prior to the scheduled meeting date without counting the meeting day.

##### Table of Contents

The quorum for ordinary meetings consists of a majority of stock entitled to vote, and
resolutions may be adopted by the affirmative vote of 50% plus one vote (an absolute majority) of the votes present whether in person or participating via electronic means of communication. If no quorum is present at the first meeting, a
second meeting may be called at which the shareholders present, whatever their number, shall constitute a quorum. Resolutions are to be adopted by an absolute majority of the votes present. The second meeting may be convened to be held one hour
later on the same day as the first meeting had been called for, provided that it is an ordinary shareholders meeting, or within 30 days of the date for which the first ordinary meeting was called.

The quorum for extraordinary shareholders meetings consists of 60% of stock entitled to vote, and resolutions may be adopted by an
absolute majority of the votes present. If no quorum is present at the first meeting, a second meeting may be called at which the shareholders present, whatever their number, shall constitute a quorum. Resolutions are to be adopted by an absolute
majority of the votes present. The second meeting has to be convened to be held within 30 days of the date for which the first extraordinary meeting was called, and the notice must be published for three days, at least eight days before the date of
the second meeting. Some special matters require a favorable vote of the majority of all the stock holding voting rights, the class A shares being granted the right to only one vote each. The special matters are described in -Voting
Rights above.

Dividends

Dividends may be lawfully paid and declared only out of our retained earnings representing the profit realized and liquid on our operations and
investments reflected in our annual financial statements, as approved at our annual general shareholders meeting. No profits may be distributed until prior losses are covered. Dividends paid on our class A shares and class B shares will equal
one another on a per-share basis.

As required by the Corporations Law, 5% of our net income is allocated to a legal reserve until the
reserve equals 20% of our outstanding capital. Dividends may not be paid if the legal reserve has been impaired. The legal reserve is not available for distribution to shareholders.

Our Board of Directors submits our financial statements for the previous fiscal year, together with reports prepared by our supervisory
committee, to our shareholders for approval at the general ordinary shareholders meeting. The shareholders, upon approving the financial statements, determine the allocation of our net income.

Our Board of Directors is allowed by law and by our bylaws to decide to pay anticipated dividends on the basis of a balance sheet especially
prepared for purposes of paying such dividends.

Under CNV regulations and our bylaws, cash dividends must be paid to shareholders within
30 days of the shareholders meeting approving the dividend. Payment of dividends in shares requires authorization from the CNV, the BASE and the Córdoba Stock Exchange, whose authorizations must be requested within 10 business days
after the shareholders meeting approving the dividend. We must make a distribution of the shares available to shareholders not later than three months after receiving authorization to do so from the CNV.

Shareholders may no longer claim the payment of dividends from us after three years have elapsed from the date on which the relevant dividends
were made available to such shareholders.

Capital Increases and Reductions

We may increase our capital upon resolution of the general ordinary shareholders meeting. All capital increases must be reported to the
CNV, published in the Official Gazette and registered with the Public Registry of Commerce. Capital reductions may be voluntary or mandatory. A voluntary reduction of capital must be approved by an extraordinary shareholders meeting after the
corresponding authorization by the BASE, the Córdoba Stock Exchange and the CNV and may take place only after notice of such reduction has been published and creditors have been given an opportunity to obtain payment or guarantees for their
claims or attachment. A reduction of capital is mandatory when losses have exceeded reserves and more than 50% of the share capital of the company.

Preemptive Rights

Under Argentine law, it is mandatory that a shareholder of ordinary shares of any given class have preemptive rights, proportional to the
number of shares he or she owns, to subscribe for shares of capital stock of the same class or of any other class if the new subscription offer does not include all classes of shares. Shareholders may only decide to suspend or limit preemptive
rights by supermajority at an extraordinary shareholders meeting and only in exceptional cases. Shareholders may waive their preemptive rights only on a case-by-case basis.

In the event of an increase in our capital, holders of class A shares and class B shares have a preemptive right to subscribe for any issue of
class B shares in an amount sufficient to maintain the proportion of capital then held by them. Holders of class A shares are entitled to subscribe for class B shares because no further class A shares carrying five votes each are allowed to be
issued in the future. Under Argentine law, companies are prohibited from issuing stock with multiple voting rights after they have been authorized to make a public offering of securities.

Preemptive rights are exercisable following the last publication of the notification to shareholders of the opportunity to exercise preemptive
rights in the Official Gazette and an Argentine newspaper of wide circulation for a period of 30 days, provided that such period may be reduced to no less than 10 days if so approved by an extraordinary shareholders meeting.

Shareholders who have exercised their preemptive rights and indicated their intention to exercise additional preemptive rights are entitled to
additional preemptive rights (accretion rights), on a pro rata basis, with respect to any unsubscribed shares, in accordance with the terms of the Corporations Law. Class B shares not subscribed for by shareholders through the exercise
of their preemptive or accretion rights may be offered to third parties.

Holders of ADSs may be restricted in their ability to exercise
preemptive rights if a registration statement relating to such rights has not been filed or is not effective or if an exemption from registration is not available.

Appraisal Rights

Whenever our
shareholders approve:



| |  |  | a merger or spin-off in which we are not the surviving corporation, unless the acquirers shares are authorized to be publicly offered or listed on any stock exchange,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a transformation in our legal corporate form,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a fundamental change in our corporate purpose,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a change of our domicile to outside Argentina,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a voluntary termination of our public offering or listing authorization,
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our continuation following a delisting or a mandatory cancellation of our public offering or listing authorization, or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a total or partial recapitalization of our statutory capital following a loss,
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any shareholder that voted
against such action or did not attend the relevant meeting may exercise its right to have its shares canceled in exchange for the book value of its shares, determined on the basis of our latest balance sheet prepared in accordance with Argentine
laws and regulations, provided that such shareholder exercises its appraisal rights within the periods set forth below.

There is,
however, doubt as to whether holders of ADSs, will be able to exercise appraisal rights with respect to class B shares represented by ADSs.

Appraisal rights must be exercised within five days following the adjournment of the meeting at which the resolution was adopted, in the event
that the dissenting shareholder voted against such resolutions, or within 15 days following such adjournment if the dissenting shareholder did not attend such meeting and can prove that he was a shareholder on the date of such meeting. In the case
of a merger or spin-off involving an entity authorized to make a public offering of its shares, appraisal rights may not be exercised if the shares to be received as a result of such transaction are listed on any stock exchange. Appraisal rights are
extinguished if the resolution giving rise to such rights is overturned at another shareholders meeting held within 75 days of the meeting at which the resolution was adopted.

##### Table of Contents

Payment of the appraisal rights must be made within one year from the date of the
shareholders meeting at which the resolution was adopted, except if the resolution was to delist our capital stock, in which case the payment period is reduced to 60 days from the date of the related resolution.

Preferred Stock

According to the
Corporations Law and our bylaws, an ordinary shareholders meeting may approve the issuance of preferred stock. Such preferred stock may have a fixed dividend, cumulative or not cumulative, with or without additional participation in our
profits, as decided by shareholders at a shareholders meeting when determining the conditions of the issuance. They may also have other preferences, such as a preference in the event of our liquidation.

The holders of preferred stock shall not be entitled to voting rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that no dividends are paid
to such holders for their preferred stock, and for as long as such dividends are not paid, the holders of preferred stock shall be entitled to voting rights. Holders of preferred stock are also entitled to vote on certain special matters, such as
the transformation of the corporate form, a merger into another company and spin-offs (when we are not the surviving entity and the surviving entity is not listed on any stock exchange), early winding-up, a change of our domicile to outside
Argentina, total or partial repayment of capital for losses and a substantial change in the corporate purpose set forth in our bylaws or in the event our preferred stock is traded on stock exchanges and such trading is suspended or terminated.

Conflicts of Interest

As a
protection to minority shareholders, under the Corporations Law, a shareholder is required to abstain from voting on any resolution in which its direct or indirect interests conflict with that of or are different than ours. In the event such
shareholder votes on such resolution, and such resolution would not have been approved without such shareholders vote, the resolution may be declared void by a court and such shareholder may be liable for damages to the company as well as to
any third party, including other shareholders.

Redemption or Repurchase

According to the Capital Markets Law, a stock corporation may acquire the shares issued by it, provided that the public offering and listing
thereof has been authorized, subject to the following terms and conditions and those set forth by the CNV. The above-mentioned conditions are: (a) the shares to be acquired shall be fully paid up; (b) there shall be a resolution signed by
the board of directors to such effect; (c) the acquisition shall be made out of net profits or free or voluntary reserves; and (d) the total amount of shares acquired by the company, including previously acquired shares, shall not exceed
10% of the capital stock or such lower percentage determined by the CNV. The shares acquired by the company in excess of such limit shall be disposed of within the term of 90 days after the date of the acquisition originating such excess.

The shares acquired by the company shall be disposed of by the company within the maximum term of three years counted as from the date of
acquisition thereof. Upon disposing of the shares, the company shall make a preemptive offer thereof. Such an offer will not be obligatory if the shares are used in connection with a compensation plan or program for the companys employees or
if the shares are distributed among all shareholders pro rata their shareholdings. If shareholders do not exercise, in whole or in part, their preemptive rights, the sale shall be made at a stock exchange.

Liquidation

Upon our liquidation,
one or more liquidators may be appointed to wind up our affairs. If no such appointment is made, our Board of Directors will act as liquidator. All outstanding common shares will be entitled to participate equally in any distribution upon
liquidation. In the event of liquidation, in Argentina and in any other country, our assets shall first be applied to satisfy our debts and liabilities.

Other Provisions

Our bylaws are governed by Argentine law and the ownership of any kind of our shares represents acceptance of our bylaws and submission to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the ordinary commercial courts of Buenos Aires for any claim or dispute related to us, our shareholders, directors and members of the supervisory committee.

Exchange Controls

For a description of the exchange controls that would affect us or the holders of our securities, see Item 4. Information on the
Company-Government Regulation-Foreign Exchange Market.

Taxation

The following is a summary of the principal Argentine and U.S. federal tax consequences arising from the acquisition, ownership and disposition
of our class B shares and ADSs. The summary is based upon Argentine and U.S. federal tax laws, as well as the regulations in effect as of the date of this annual report. Further, such summary is subject to any subsequent changes in such laws and
regulations that may come into effect after such date. Any change could apply retroactively and could affect the continued validity of this summary. The summary which follows does not constitute legal advice or a legal opinion with respect to the
transactions that the holders of our class B shares or ADSs may enter into, but rather is only a brief description of certain (and not all) aspects of the Argentine and U.S. Federal taxation system related to the acquisition, ownership and
disposition of our class B shares and ADSs. In addition, although the following summary is believed to be a reasonable interpretation of the current taxation rules and regulations, we cannot assure you that the applicable authorities or tribunals
will agree with all of, or any of, the tax consequences outlined below. Currently, there is no tax treaty between the United States and Argentina.

Argentine Taxes

Law
No. 26,893, enacted on September 12, 2013 and published in the Official Gazette on September 23, 2013, introduced several changes to Income Tax Law No. 20,628, including the derogation of Section 78 of Decree
No. 2,284/1991, which provides that foreign holders with no permanent establishment in Argentina are exempt from paying income tax on the capital gains arising from the sale or other disposition of shares or ADSs.

Law No. 26,893 has been regulated by Decree No 2334/2013which provides that changes introduced by Law No.26,893 are effective from the
date of publication of such law in the Official Gazette and are applicable to taxable events consummated from such date onwards.

Taxation of Dividends

Until Law No. 26,893 became effective, dividend payments on ADSs or ordinary shares, whether in cash, property, or stock, were not subject
to Argentine withholding tax or other taxes.

As from the effectiveness of Law No. 26,893, dividends (other than stock dividends) are
subject to tax at a rate of 10%.

Dividends received by Argentine entities (generally entities organized or incorporated under Argentine
law, certain traders and intermediaries, local branches of non-Argentine entities, sole proprietorships and individuals carrying on certain commercial activities in Argentina) are not subject to the 10% tax.

Equalization Tax

There is a specific rule under which a 35% tax (equalization tax) will be imposed on certain dividends approved by the
registrants shareholders. The equalization tax will be applied only to the extent that distributions of dividends exceed the taxable income of the company increased by non-taxable dividends received by the distributing company in prior years
and reduced by Argentine income tax paid by the distributing company.



-178-

##### Table of Contents

The equalization tax will be imposed as a withholding tax on the shareholder receiving the
dividend. Dividend distributions made in kind (other than cash) will be subject to the same tax rules as cash dividends. Stock dividends are not subject to Argentine taxation.

Taxation of Capital Gains (CGT)

In
accordance with Law No. 26,893 capital gains derived by non-resident individuals or foreign companies from the sale, exchange or other disposition of ADSs or class B shares are subject to the following regulations:

Beginning on September 23, 2013, the transfer of ADSs or class B shares may trigger capital gain taxation. In such a case, the buyer
would be responsible for withholding the corresponding tax (i.e. no liability should exist for the seller) although no withholding mechanism is currently available.

Notwithstanding the above, based on certain tax precedents, there may be support to argue that gains obtained by a non-resident from the
disposal of ADSs or class B shares should be regarded as foreign source income and, therefore, not subject to Argentine CGT. As this is a controversial issue, further analysis is required.

Capital gains obtained by non resident individuals or foreign entities from the sale, exchange or other disposition of such securities are
currently subject to tax in Argentina at an effective 13.5% rate (15% tax rate applied to a gross presumed margin of 90% of the gross income) on gross proceeds arising from the sale transaction or, alternatively, to a 15% statutory rate on the
actual capital gain (with proper evidence of cost incurred).

In the case of Argentine individuals, gains derived from the transfer of
ADSs or class B shares, after offsetting certain general deductions, would be subject to an income tax at a 15% rate, assuming transactions are not performed under an authorized Argentine stocks exchange market. In this sense, it must be said that
there is also a controversial issue related with such tax treatment. Further analysis is recommendable in this regard.

Finally, net
capital gains from the sale, exchange or other dispositions of ADSs or class B shares, obtained by Argentine corporations or similar entities will be subject to income tax at a 35% rate, like any other current gain.

Transfer Taxes

No Argentine transfer
taxes are applicable on the sale or transfer of ADSs or class B shares.

Tax on Minimum Notional Income

The tax reform in force since 1999 reinstituted a tax on assets on Argentine companies. This tax is similar to the asset tax that was
previously in effect in Argentina from 1990 to 1995. It applies at a general rate of 1% on a broadly defined asset base encompassing most of the taxpayers gross assets at the end of any fiscal year ending after December 31, 1998.

Specifically, the Law establishes that banks, other financial institutions and insurance companies will consider a taxable base equal to 20%
of the value of taxable assets.

A companys asset tax liability for a tax year will be reduced by its income tax payments, and asset
tax payments for a tax year can be carried forward to be applied against the companys income tax liability in any of the following ten tax years.

Personal Assets Tax

Individuals
domiciled and undivided estates located in Argentina or abroad will be subject to an annual tax in respect of assets located in Argentina and abroad. The tax rate is from 0.5% to 1.25%, depending on the total amount of assets. Individuals domiciled
abroad will pay the tax only in respect of the assets they hold in Argentina. In the case of individuals domiciled abroad, the tax will be paid by the individuals or entities domiciled in Argentina which, as of December 31 of each year, hold
the joint ownership, possession, use, enjoyment, deposit, safekeeping, custody, administration or tenure of the assets located in Argentina subject to the tax belonging to the individuals domiciled abroad. When the direct ownership of notes,
government securities and certain other investments, except

##### Table of Contents

shares issued by companies ruled by the Corporations Law, corresponds to companies domiciled abroad in countries that do not enforce registration systems for private securities (with the
exception of insurance companies, open-end investment funds, pension funds or banks and financial entities with head offices in countries that have adopted the international banking supervision standards laid down by the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision) or that pursuant to their bylaws, charter, documents or the applicable regulatory framework, have as their principal activity investing outside of the jurisdiction of their organization or domicile, or are generally restricted from
doing business in their country of incorporation, it will be assumed, without any proof to the contrary being admitted, that those assets belong ultimately to individuals and therefore the system for paying the tax for such individuals domiciled
abroad is applicable to them.

There is an exception pursuant to a tax reform that was published in the Official Gazette as Law
No. 25,585, which went into effect on December 31, 2002. This tax reform introduced a mechanism to collect the personal assets tax on shares issued by companies ruled by the Corporations Law, which ownership belongs to individuals
domiciled in Argentina or abroad and companies or entities domiciled abroad. In the case of companies or entities domiciled abroad, it will be assumed, without any proof to the contrary being admitted, that those shares belong ultimately to
individuals domiciled abroad.

The tax will be assessed and paid by those companies ruled by the Corporations Law at the rate of 0.5% on
the value of the shares or equity interest. The valuation of the shares, whether listed or not, must be made according to their proportional equity value. These companies may eventually seek reimbursement from the direct owner of their shares in
respect of any amounts paid to the Argentine tax authorities as personal assets tax. Grupo Financiero Galicia has sought reimbursement for the amount paid corresponding to December 31, 2002. The Board of Directors submitted the decision on how
to proceed with respect to fiscal year 2003 to the annual shareholders meeting held on April 22, 2004. At that meeting, our shareholders voted to suspend all claims on our shareholders for amounts unpaid for fiscal year 2002 and to have
us absorb the amounts due for fiscal year 2003 onward when not withheld from dividends.

Other Taxes

There are no Argentine federal inheritance, succession or gift taxes applicable to the ownership, transfer or disposition of ADSs or class B
shares. There are no Argentine stamps, issue, registration or similar taxes or duties payable by holders of ADSs or class B shares.

Deposit and
Withdrawal of Class B Shares in Exchange for ADSs

No Argentine tax is imposed on the deposit or withdrawal of class B shares in
exchange for ADSs.

United States Taxes

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of class B shares
and ADSs, as their terms are set forth in the documents or the forms thereof, relating to such securities as in existence on the date hereof, but it does not purport to address all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to
purchase, own or dispose of class B shares or ADSs. This summary assumes that the class B shares or ADSs will be held as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
and does not address tax consequences to all categories of investors, some of which (such as dealers or traders in securities or currencies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, grantor trusts, tax-exempt entities, banks,
insurance companies, persons that received class B shares or ADSs as compensation for the performance of services, persons owning (or deemed to own for U.S. federal income tax purposes) at least 10% or more (by voting power or value) of our shares,
investors whose functional currency is not the Dollar and persons that hold the class B shares or ADSs as part of a position in a straddle or as part of a hedging or conversion transaction for U.S. federal income
tax purposes) may be subject to special tax rules. Moreover, this summary does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift or alternative minimum tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of class B shares or ADSs.

This summary (i) is based on the Code, existing, proposed and temporary United States Treasury Regulations and judicial and
administrative interpretations thereof, in each case as in effect and available on the date hereof; and (ii) is based in part on representations of the Depository and the assumption that each obligation in the Deposit Agreement and any related
agreement will be performed in accordance with its terms. All of the foregoing are subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could affect the tax consequences described below.

##### Table of Contents

For purposes of this summary, a U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of class B shares
or ADSs that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (i) a citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an
estate the income of which is subject to U.S. Federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if such trust validly elects to be treated as a United States person for U.S. Federal income tax purposes or if (a) a United
States court can exercise primary supervision over its administration and (b) one or more United States persons have the authority to control all the substantial decisions of such trust. A Non-U.S. Holder is a beneficial owner of
class B shares or ADSs that is neither a U.S. Holder nor a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes).

If a partnership (or any other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds class B shares or
ADSs, the tax treatment of the partnership and a partner in such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such a partner or partnership should consult its tax advisor as to its tax
consequences.

Each prospective purchaser should consult its own tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign
tax consequences of acquiring, owning or disposing of class B shares or ADSs.

Ownership of ADSs in General

In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holders of ADSs will be treated as the owners of the class B shares represented by such ADSs.
For purposes of the discussion below, we assume that intermediaries in the chain of ownership between the holder of an ADS and Grupo Financiero Galicia are acting consistently with the claiming of U.S. foreign tax credits by U.S. Holders.

Taxation of Distributions

Subject to the
discussion below under Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the gross amount of distributions by Grupo Financiero Galicia of cash or property (other than certain distributions, if any,
of class B shares or ADSs distributed pro rata to all shareholders of Grupo Financiero Galicia, including holders of ADSs) made with respect to the class B shares or ADSs before reduction for any Argentine taxes withheld therefrom, will constitute
dividends to the extent that such distributions are paid out of Grupo Financiero Galicias current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and will be included in the gross income of a U.S.
Holder as dividend income. Subject to the discussion below under Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations, non-corporate U.S. Holders generally will be taxed on such distributions on ADSs (or class B shares that are readily
tradable on an established securities market in the United States at the time of such distribution) at the lower rates applicable to long-term capital gains (i.e., gains from the sale of capital assets held for more than one year). Non-corporate
U.S. Holders that (i) do not meet a minimum holding period requirement with respect to such ADSs (or class B shares), (ii) elect to treat the dividend income as investment income pursuant to Section 163(d)(4)(B) of the
Code or (iii) receive dividends with respect to which they are obligated to make related payments for positions in substantially similar or related property will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation. In addition, such dividends
will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally allowed to corporations under the Code.

Subject to the discussion
below under Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations, if distributions with respect to the class B shares or ADSs exceed Grupo Financiero Galicias current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, the excess would be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of such U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the class B shares or ADSs. Any amount in excess of such adjusted basis would be treated as
capital gain from the sale or exchange of such class B shares or ADSs. Grupo Financiero Galicia does not maintain calculations of its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles.



-181-

##### Table of Contents

Dividends paid in Pesos will be included in the gross income of a U.S. Holder in an amount equal
to the Dollar value of the Pesos on the date of receipt, which, in the case of ADSs, is the date they are received by the depositary. The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair value of such property on the date of
distribution. Any gains or losses resulting from the conversion of Pesos between the time of the receipt of dividends paid in Pesos and the time the Pesos are converted into Dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss, as the case may be, of
a U.S. Holder. Dividends received by a U.S. Holder with respect to the class B shares or ADSs will be treated as foreign source income, which may be relevant in calculating such holders foreign tax credit limitation. Subject to certain
conditions and limitations, Argentine tax withheld on dividends may be deducted from taxable income or credited against a U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated
separately with respect to specific categories of income. For this purpose, dividend income with respect to class B shares or ADSs should generally constitute passive category income, or in the case of certain U.S. Holders, general
category income. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. Prospective holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.

Subject to the discussion below under Backup Withholding and Information Reporting, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be
subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on dividends received on class B shares or ADSs, unless such income is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States.

Taxation of Capital Gains

Subject to the
discussion below under Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations, U.S. Holders will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon a sale or exchange of such class B shares or ADSs in an amount equal to
the difference between such U.S. Holders adjusted tax basis in the class B shares or ADSs and the amount realized on their disposition. In the case of a non-corporate U.S. Holder, the maximum marginal U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to
such gain will be lower than the maximum marginal U.S. federal income tax rate for ordinary income (other than certain dividends) if the U.S. Holders holding period in the class B shares or ADSs exceeds one year at the time of the sale or
exchange. Gain or loss, if any, recognized by a U.S. Holder generally will be treated as United States source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, a U.S. Holder may not be able to use the foreign tax credit arising from
any Argentine tax imposed on the disposition of class B shares or ADSs unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources. Certain limitations apply to the
deductibility of capital losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A U.S. Holders initial tax basis in the class B shares or
ADSs is the Dollar value of the Pesos denominated purchase price determined on the date of purchase. If the class B shares or ADSs are treated as traded on an established securities market, a cash basis U.S. Holder (or, if it elects, an
accrual basis U.S. Holder) will determine the Dollar value of the cost of such class B shares or ADSs by translating the amount paid at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the purchase.

With respect to the sale or exchange of class B shares or ADSs, the amount realized generally will be the Dollar value of the payment
received, before reduction for any Argentine taxes withheld therefrom, determined on (i) the date of receipt of payment in the case of a cash basis U.S. Holder and (ii) the date of disposition in the case of an accrual basis U.S. Holder.
If the class B shares or ADSs are treated as traded on an established securities market, a cash basis taxpayer (or, if it elects, an accrual basis taxpayer) will determine the Dollar value of the amount realized by translating the amount
received at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale.

Subject to the discussion below under Backup Withholding
and Information Reporting, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on gain realized on the sale or exchange of class B shares or ADSs unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with the
conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) in the case of gain realized by an individual Non-U.S. Holder, the Non-U.S. Holder is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of
the sale or exchange and certain other conditions are met.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations

A Non-United States corporation will be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or a PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax
purposes in any taxable year in which, after applying certain look-through rules, either (1) at least 75 percent of its gross income is passive income or (2) at least 50 percent of the average value of its gross assets is
attributable to assets that produce passive income or is held for the production of passive income. Passive income for this purpose generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from commodities and securities
transactions, other than certain income derived in the active conduct of a banking business.

The application of the PFIC rules is unclear
both generally and specifically with respect to banks. The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has issued a notice and certain proposed Treasury Regulations that exclude from passive income any income derived in the active
conduct of a banking business by a qualifying foreign bank (the Active Bank Exception). However, the IRS notice and proposed Treasury Regulations are inconsistent in certain respects. Since final Treasury Regulations have not been
issued, there can be no assurance that Grupo Financiero Galicia or its subsidiaries will satisfy the Active Bank Exception for any given taxable year.

Based on certain estimates of its gross income and gross assets, which estimates are inherently imprecise, the nature of its business and
relying on the Active Bank Exception, Grupo Financiero Galicia believes that it should not be classified as a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. Grupo Financiero Galicias status in future years will depend on its assets
and activities in those years. Grupo Financiero Galicia has no reason to believe that its assets or activities will change in a manner that would cause it to be classified as a PFIC, but there can be no assurance that Grupo Financiero Galicia will
not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year. If Grupo Financiero Galicia were a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of class B shares or ADSs generally would be subject to an imputed interest charges and other disadvantageous tax treatment (including the denial
of the taxation of certain dividends at the lower rates applicable to long-term capital gains, as discussed above under Taxation of Distributions) with respect to any gain from the sale or exchange of, and certain distributions with
respect to, the class B shares or ADSs.

If Grupo Financiero Galicia were a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of class B shares or ADSs could make a
variety of elections that may alleviate certain of the adverse tax consequences referred to above, and one of these elections may be made retroactively. However, it is expected that the conditions necessary for making certain of such elections will
not apply in the case of the class B shares or ADSs. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences that would arise if Grupo Financiero Galicia were treated as a PFIC.

Reporting Requirements

Non-corporate
U.S. Holders, including individuals, that hold specified foreign financial assets, as defined in the Treasury Regulations (which may include class B shares or ADSs), other than in an account at a U.S. financial institution or the U.S.
branch of a non-U.S. financial institution, are required to report certain information relating to such assets. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this and any other reporting requirements on their
ownership and disposition of class B shares or ADSs. Failure to comply with applicable reporting requirements could result in the imposition of substantial penalties.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

United States backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements generally apply to certain payments to certain holders of stock.

Information reporting generally will apply to payments of dividends on, and to proceeds from the sale or redemption of, class B shares or
ADSs made within the United States, or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, to a holder of class B shares or ADSs (other than an exempt recipient, such as a payee that is not a United States person and that provides an appropriate certification).

A payor will be required to withhold backup withholding tax from any payments of dividends on, or proceeds from the sale or redemption of,
class B shares or ADSs within the United States, or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, to a holder (other than an exempt recipient, such as a payee that is not a United States person and that provides an appropriate certification) if such Holder
fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, such backup withholding tax requirements. The backup withholding tax rate is currently 28%.

##### Table of Contents

In addition, certain U.S. Holders who are individuals are required to report information relating
to an interest in class B shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for class B shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions). U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the effect, if
any, of such information reporting requirements with respect to their ownership and disposition of class B shares.

FATCA

Beginning on January 1, 2017 (or, if later, the date on which final regulations are published defining the term foreign passthru
payment), Grupo Financiero Galicia may be required, pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (often referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act or
FATCA) to withhold U.S. tax at a 30% rate on all or a portion of any distribution on class B shares or ADSs which is treated as a foreign passthru payment.

Assuming that distributions from Grupo Financiero Galicia constitute foreign passthru payments and that Grupo Financiero Galicia
enters into an agreement with the IRS to report the information required by FATCA or, if Argentina has entered in an intergovernmental agreement with the United States (an IGA)complies with such IGA, then an investor considered to have a
U.S. account maintained by Grupo Financiero Galicia may be required to provide the information described below or be subject to U.S. withholding tax on any distribution on class B shares or ADSs that is treated as a foreign
passthru payment. Investors in class B shares or ADSs that are financial institutions, or financial institutions that receive payments on behalf of other persons, and that have not entered into an agreement with the IRS (or otherwise
established an exemption from FATCA, including pursuant to an applicable IGA) would also be subject to this U.S. withholding tax.

Generally, under FATCA, a U.S. account is a financial account maintained by a foreign financial institution that is held by one or more
specified U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities. An equity instrument in a financial institution that is regularly traded on an established securities market is not a financial account. Further, a financial account does not include
an equity instrument in a financial institution, such as Grupo Financiero Galicia, that is not engaged (or holding itself out as engaged) primarily in certain investment activities, unless the value of the equity instrument is determined, directly
or indirectly, primarily by reference to assets giving rise to withholdable payments and certain other requirements are met.

Each holder
of class B shares or ADSs that is considered to have a financial account maintained by Grupo Financiero Galicia may be required to provide satisfactory documentation (i) that neither it nor its beneficial owners are U.S. persons, or
(ii) if the holder or its beneficial owners are U.S. persons, information including the name, address and U.S. taxpayer identification number of each such U.S. person. Each holder of class B shares or ADSs that fails to provide the requested
information generally will be subject to a U.S. withholding tax on any payments made to that holder. A holder that fails to provide the necessary information due to a non-U.S. law prohibiting the provision of this information may be required to
execute a valid waiver of the non-U.S. law (and then provide the relevant information to Grupo Financiero Galicia) or dispose of its class B shares or ADSs within a reasonable time period.

FATCA is particularly complex and its application to Grupo Financiero Galicia is uncertain at this time. Each holder of class B shares or ADSs
should consult its own tax advisor to obtain a more detailed explanation of FATCA and to learn how it might affect such holder under its particular circumstances.

Medicare Tax on Investment Income

Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts are required to pay a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (i) the U.S. Holders
net investment income for the taxable year and (ii) the excess of the U.S. Holders modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold. Net investment income includes, among other things, dividends and
capital gains from the sale or other disposition of class B shares or ADSs.

|Item 11. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

General

Market risks faced by us are the risks arising from the fluctuations in interest rates and in foreign exchange rates. Our market risk
arises mainly from the operations of Banco Galicia in its capacity as a financial intermediary. Our subsidiaries and other entities in which we have a minority equity interest are also subject to market risk. However, the amount of these risks is
not significant and they are not discussed below. Policies regarding these risks are applied at the level of our operating subsidiaries.

In compliance with the Argentine Central Banks regulations, based on the best practices and international standards, Banco Galicia has a
Risk Management Division responsible for identifying, monitoring and actively and integrally managing the different risks Banco Galicia and its subsidiaries are exposed to (credit, financial and operational risks). The aim of the Division is to
guarantee Banco Galicias board of directors that it is fully aware of the risks Banco Galicia is exposed to. It also creates and proposes the policies and procedures necessary to mitigate and control such risks. The Risk Management Committee,
made-up of four members of the board of directors of Banco Galicia, the CEO and the managers of the Risk Management Division, the Planning Division and Internal Audit, is the highest corporate body to which Banco Galicias board of directors
delegates integral risk management and the executive responsibility to define and enforce risk management policies, procedures and controls. This Committee is also responsible for setting specific limits for the exposure to each risk and approving,
when applicable, temporary excesses over such limits as well as being informed of each risk position and compliance with policies.

See
Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees-Functions of the Board of Directors of Banco Galicia. Liquidity management is discussed in Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources. Credit risk management is
discussed in Item 4. Information on the Company-Selected Statistical Information-Credit Review Process and other sections under Item 4. Information on the Company-Selected Statistical Information describing Banco
Galicias loan portfolio and loan loss experience.

The following sections contain information on Banco Galicias sensitivity to
interest-rate risk and exchange-rate risk that constitute forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements.

Interest Rate Risk

A distinctive and natural characteristic of financial brokerage is the existence of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities
with different maturities (or different rate repricing periods) and interest rates that can be fixed or variable. This situation leads to a gap or mismatch that arises from the balance sheet and measures the imbalance between fixed- and
variable-rate assets and liabilities, and results in the so-called interest-rate risk or else balance sheet structural risk. A commercial bank can face the interest rate risk on both sides of its balance sheet with regard to the income generated by
assets (loans and securities) and the expenses related to the interest-bearing liabilities (deposits and others sources of funds).

The policy currently in force defines this gap as the risk that the financial margin and the
economic value of equity may vary as a consequence of fluctuations in market interest rates. The magnitude of such variation is associated with the sensitivity to interest rates of the structure of Banco Galicias assets and liabilities.

Aimed at managing and limiting the sensitivity of Banco Galicias economic value and results with respect to variations in the interest
rate inherent to the structure of certain assets and liabilities, the following caps have been determined:



| |  | Limit on the net financial income for the first year.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  | Limit on the net present value of assets and liabilities.
|- |  | ---------------------------------------------------------

Limit on the Net Financial Income for the
First Year

The effect of interest rate fluctuations on the net financial income for the first year is calculated using the
methodology known as scenario simulation. On a monthly basis, net financial income for the first year is simulated in a base scenario and in a +100 b.p. scenario. In order to prepare each scenario, different criteria are assumed
regarding the sensitivity to interest rates of assets and liabilities, depending on the historical performance observed of the different balance sheet items. Net financial income for the first year in the +100 b.p. scenario is compared
to the net financial income for the first year in the base scenario. The resulting difference is related to the annualized accounting net financial income for the last calendar trailing quarter available, for Banco Galicia on a consolidated basis,
before quotation differences and CER adjustment.

The limit on a potential loss in the +100 b.p. scenario with respect to the
base scenario was established at 20% of the net financial income for the first year, as defined in the paragraph above. At the end of fiscal year 2015, the negative difference between the net financial income for the first year corresponding to the
+100 b.p. scenario and that corresponding to the base scenario accounted for -0.1% of the net financial income for the first year.

The tables below show as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, in absolute and percentage terms, the change in Banco
Galicias net financial income (NFI) of the first year, as compared to the NFI of the base scenario corresponding to various interest-rate scenarios in which interest rates change 50, 100, 150 and 200 b.p. from those in
the base scenario. Banco Galicias net portfolio is broken down into trading and non-trading. The trading net portfolio represents primarily securities issued by the Argentine Central Bank (Lebac and Nobac).

Limit on the Net Present Value of Assets and Liabilities

The net present value of assets and liabilities is also calculated on a monthly basis and taking into account the assets and
liabilities of Banco Galicias consolidated balance sheet.

In fiscal year 2015, the methodology used for calculating the risk of
interest rate from the perspective of the net present value was modified.

The net present value of the consolidated assets and
liabilities, as mentioned, is calculated for a base scenario in which the listed securities portfolio is discounted using interest rates obtained according to yield curves determined based on the market yields of different reference
bonds denominated in Pesos, in Dollars and adjusted by the CER. Yield curves for unlisted assets and liabilities are also created using market interest rates. The net present value of assets and liabilities is also calculated for a
critical scenario, obtained by means of a significant number of statistical simulations on the interest rate evolution path, as a consequence of the exposure to interest rate risk shown on the balance sheet structure.

The economic capital is obtained from the resulting difference between the critical and base scenarios, considering a
99.5% degree of accuracy.

The limit on the exposure to interest rate risk, in terms of the difference between the net present value of
assets and liabilities in the base scenario and in the critical scenario cannot exceed 15% of the consolidated RPC. As of the fiscal year-end for 2015, the VaR (Value at Risk) was -13.6% of the RPC.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

Exchange-rate sensitivity is the relationship between the fluctuations of exchange rates and Banco Galicias net financial income
resulting from the revaluation of Banco Galicias assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency. The impact of variations in the exchange rate on Banco Galicias net financial income depends on whether Banco Galicia has a net
asset foreign currency position (the amount by which foreign currency denominated assets exceed foreign currency denominated liabilities) or a net liability foreign currency position (the amount by which foreign currency denominated liabilities
exceed foreign currency denominated assets). In the first case an increase/decrease in the exchange rate results in a gain/loss, respectively. In the second case, an increase/decrease results in a loss/gain, respectively. Banco Galicia has
established limits for its consolidated foreign currency mismatches for the asset and liability positions of -10% (minus 10%) of Banco Galicias RPC. At the end of the fiscal year, Banco Galicias net asset position in foreign currency
represented 14.8%.

Currency Mismatches

Financial brokerage naturally involves the raising of funds and the subsequent use thereof. Both funding (deposits and other alternative
sources of financing) and the use of the funds in loans and/or investments can be carried out in assets and liabilities denominated in different currencies. This possible currency mismatch between liabilities and the use thereof on assets generates
a source of risk that arises from the variations in the different foreign currency exchange rates. This risk is inherent to the structure of assets and liabilities per currency.

Currency risk is defined as the risk of incurring in equity losses as a consequence of variations in the foreign currency exchange rates in
which assets and liabilities (both on and off the Balance Sheet) are denominated.

For purposes of the management and mitigation of the
currency risk, two other currencies have been defined apart from the Argentine Peso: Assets and liabilities adjusted by CER and foreign currency.

The policy framework currently in force establishes limits in terms of maximum net asset positions (assets denominated in a currency which are
higher than the liabilities denominated in such currency) and net liability positions (assets denominated in a currency which are lower than the liabilities denominated in such currency) for mismatches in Pesos adjusted by CER and in foreign
currency, as a proportion of Banco Galicias RPC, on a consolidated basis.

Banco Galicia manages mismatches not only regarding
assets and liabilities, but also covering mismatches through the foreign currency futures market. Transactions in foreign currency futures (Dollar futures) are carried out through the MAE, ROFEX and with customers. These transactions are subject to
limits that take into consideration particular characteristics of each trading environment. A global exposure limit was set for these futures contracts, equivalent to 100% of Banco Galicias RPC on a consolidated basis.

The table below shows the composition of Banco Galicias shareholders equity by currency and type of principal adjustment, that is
Banco Galicias assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, in Pesos and adjustable by the CER, as of December 31, 2015.

As of December 31, 2015, considering the adjustments from forward transactions recorded under memorandum accounts, Banco Galicia had net
asset positions in Foreign Currency, and in Pesos Adjusted and Non-adjusted by CER.

The paragraphs below describe the composition of the
different currency mismatches as of December 31, 2015.

Peso-denominated Assets and Liabilities Adjusted by CER

At December 31, 2015, the Bank had a net asset position of Ps.674 million, mainly made up of Ps.686 million corresponding to the
participation certificate in Galtrust I Financial Trust.

The limit established for the CER-adjusted mismatch is at 100% and at -25%
(minus 25%) of the Banks RPC for the net asset position and the net liability position, respectively. At December 31, 2015, the asset position in Pesos adjusted by CER accounted for 4.8% of the Banks RPC.

Assets and Liabilities Denominated in Foreign Currency

The Banks assets denominated in foreign currency were mainly comprised of the following: (i) cash and balances held at the Argentine
Central Bank and correspondent banks for Ps.17,654 million, (ii) Ps.5,198 million corresponding to holdings of government bonds and (iii) loans to the non-financial private sector and residents abroad for Ps.3,208 million (principal and
interest, net of allowances).

The Banks liabilities denominated in foreign currency consisted mainly of: (i) deposits for
Ps.14,377 million (principal, interest and exchange-rate differences), (ii) Ps.9,106 million of subordinated and unsubordinated notes issued by Banco Galicia and the Regional Credit Card Companies, (iii) debt with international banks and
credit agencies for Ps.1,408 million and (iv) Ps.2,081 million in connection with collections for third parties.

A net asset
position of Ps.814 million stems from the consolidated balance sheet. Furthermore, forward transactions in foreign currency without delivery of the underlying asset for a notional value of Ps.2,837 million were recorded in memorandum accounts.
Therefore, as of that date, the Banks net position in foreign currency adjusted to reflect these transactions was an asset position of Ps.2,023 million, equivalent to US$156 million.

Banco Galicia has set limits as regards foreign-currency mismatches at -10% (minus 10%) of the Banks RPC for its net asset position and
its short position, respectively. At the end of the fiscal year, Banco Galicias net asset position in foreign currency represented 14.4% of its RPC.

Non-Adjusted Peso-Denominated Assets and Liabilities

The Banks non-adjusted Peso-denominated assets were mainly comprised of the following: (i) loans to the non-financial private sector
for Ps.94,380 million (principal plus interest, net of allowances), (ii) cash and balances held at the Argentine Central Bank and correspondent banks for Ps.14,713 million (including the balance of escrow

accounts), (iii) Ps.6,606 million corresponding to the holdings of securities issued by the Argentine Central Bank, (iv) Ps.3,240 million corresponding to holdings of Bonar 2016, Bonar
2017 and Bonar 2019 Bonds, (v) Ps.1,910 million corresponding to negotiable obligations and (vi) Ps.602 million corresponding to debt securities and participation certificates in various financial trusts.

Banco Galicias non-adjusted Peso-denominated liabilities were mainly comprised of the following: (i) deposits for Ps.85,791 million
(principal plus interest), (ii) liabilities with stores in connection with Banco Galicias credit card activities and the Regional Credit Card Companies for Ps.15,316 million, (iii) Ps.3,914 million corresponding to notes issued by
the Regional Credit Card Companies and CFA and (iv) Ps.1,391 million in liabilities with local financial institutions (almost all corresponding to the Regional Credit Card Companies).

The net asset position in non-adjusted Peso-denominated assets and liabilities was of Ps.6,973 million at fiscal year-end 2015.

Other Assets and Liabilities

In
the category Other Assets and Liabilities, the assets were mainly comprised of the following: (i) premises and equipment, miscellaneous and intangible assets for Ps.4,838 million, and (ii) miscellaneous receivables for Ps.2,091
million.

Liabilities mainly included Ps.3,979 million recorded under Miscellaneous Liabilities, and allowances for other
contingencies for Ps.456 million.

Market Risk

The exposure to portfolios of listed financial instruments, whose value varies according to the movement in their market prices, is subject to
a specific policy framework that regulates the risk of incurring a loss as a consequence of the variation of the market price of financial assets whose value is subject to negotiation.

Brokerage transactions and/or investments in government securities, currencies, notes, derivative products and debt instruments issued by the
Argentine Central Bank are governed by the policy that limits the maximum tolerable losses in a given fiscal year.

In order to measure
and monitor this source of risk, the model known as VaR is used, among others. This model determines intra-daily, for Banco Galicia individually, the possible loss that could be generated by the positions in securities, derivative instruments and
currencies under certain parameters.

The parameters taken into consideration are as follows:



| | (i) | A 95% - 99% degree of accuracy.
| | --- | -------------------------------



| | (ii) | VaR estimates are made for holding periods of one day and n days, where n is defined as the number of days necessary to settle the position in each security.
| | ---- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (iii) | In the case of new issuances, the available trading days are taken into consideration; if there are not enough trading days or if there are no quotations, the volatility of bonds from domestic issuers with similar risk
and characteristics is used.
| | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Likewise, the measurement method known as Dollar Value of One Basis Point (DVO1)
is also applied to measure and monitor the trading of debt instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank and by the Argentine provinces, and the brokerage of notes.

Banco Galicias policy requires that the Risk Management and Treasury Divisions agree on the parameters under which the models work and
establishes the maximum losses authorized for securities, foreign-currency, Argentine Central Banks debt instruments and derivative products in a fiscal year. Maximum losses were established in:



|                          |  |                
|------------------------- |  | ---------------
|Currency                  |  | Ps.57 million. 
|Fixed-income instruments  |  | Ps.271 million.
|Interest rate derivatives |  | Ps.25 million.

The policy also comprises the development of periodic stress tests, aimed at evaluating high risk
positions and its results under adverse market conditions. Contingency plans were also designed, which include recommended actions to take under a critical scenario, such as recessionary economic conditions.

Cross-border Risk

Cross-border risk represents the risk of incurring equity losses as a consequence of the impairment or failure to collect exposures (loans,
positions in securities, equity investments, and liquidity) abroad. It includes risks generated by entering into transactions with public or private counterparties domiciled outside of Argentina.

In order to regulate risk exposures in international jurisdictions, limits were established taking into consideration the jurisdictions
credit rating, the type of transaction and a maximum exposure acceptable for each counterpart.

The Bank defined its policy by setting
maximum exposure limits measured as a percentage of its RPC and taking into account if the counterparty is considered investment grade:



|     |  |                        |  |                  |  |                                 |  |   |  |                                                                                                                     |  |   |  |

Overseas Foreign Currency Transfer Risk

With a view towards mitigating the risk resulting from a potential change in domestic laws that may affect overseas foreign currency transfers,
in order to meet incurred liabilities, a policy was devised to set a limit for liabilities transferred abroad, as a proportion to total consolidated liabilities. Such ratio was fixed at 15%.

As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, this exposure was 8.7%.

Risk Exposures in the Non-financial Public Sector

Risk exposures in the Non-financial Public Sector in federal, provincial and municipal jurisdictions are regulated by a management
policy set in the fourth quarter of the 2012 fiscal year.

The policy sets limits on risk exposures, establishing a possible
loss (as a percentage of the Banks RPC) associated with a given position, considering in its application the debt instruments issued by the different jurisdictions and other possible vehicles of financing to the Non-financial Public
Sector. The policy is also supplemented by a limit that establishes that the total position in the Non-financial Public Sector should not exceed a given percentage of the Banks RPC.

The limits are as follows:



| |  |  | The possible loss cannot exceed 4% of the Banks RPC.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The total position cannot exceed 70% of the Banks RPC.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------

Operational Risk

Banco Galicia adopts the definition of operational risk determined by the Argentine Central Bank and the best international practices.
Operational risk is defined as the risk of losses due to the lack of conformity or due to failure of internal processes, the acts of people or systems, or otherwise because of external events. This definition includes legal risk, but does not
include strategic and reputational risks.

independent from the business or support units involved, includes a specific unit that is responsible for the management of such risks. The duties of this unit are, among others, to develop and monitor the operational risk management model, inherent
in the Banks products, activities, processes, systems and technology, aligned with the regulations and best practices in force, organize the main necessary processes, provide advice, training and support to divisions, ensure that the
Banks contingency, recovery and activity continuity plans are developed according to the size and complexity of its operations, as well as the respective tests thereon.

The operational risk management is understood as the identification, assessment, monitoring, control and mitigation of this risk. It is an
ongoing process carried out throughout the Bank, which fosters a risk management culture at all organization levels through an effective policy and a program led by senior management.

Identification

The starting point of the
operational risk management is the identification of risks and their association with the controls established to mitigate them, considering internal and external factors that may affect the process development. The results of this exercise are
entered into a log of risks, which acts as a central repository of the nature and status of each risk and controls thereof.

Assessment

Once risks have been identified, the size in terms of impact, frequency and likelihood is determined.

Monitoring

The monitoring process allows
for the detection and correction of deficiencies in the operational risk management policies, processes and procedures or update thereof.

Risk Control
and Mitigation

The control process ensures compliance with internal policies and analyzes risks and responses to avoid, accept,
mitigate or share them, by aligning them with the risk tolerance defined.

The control process also provides for several tools to manage
the operational risk.

Self-Risk Assessment

The self-risk assessment is a process to identify and assess existing risks, considering the controls established to manage and mitigate them.
The self-assessment is a critical component of the operational risk management framework since the vulnerability of operations and activities at risk can be verified based on this process. Even though an assessment can be quantitative as well
qualitative, risk analysts are encouraged to use the quantitative method.

Operational Risk Map

The operational risk map allows viewing all the risks assessed within a matrix of colors that, at first sight, points out those risks in a
classification of high, very high, medium, low and very low, for their later analysis and for the preparation of reports or action plans.

Risk Indicators

The Bank defined risk indicators to measure operational risk management. The aim of these indicators is to detect gaps early by means of the
definition of risk appetite thresholds.

Collection of Risk Events

The Risk Events Base is one of the tools used to systematically identify and record important information related to the risk events detected.
The Bank promotes the identification and recording of risk events, thus encouraging in the organization the culture of reporting every loss events related to an operational risk.

The Bank has defined training strategies, together with the Organizational Development and Human Resources Division, for the purpose of
training and making all its employees aware of the importance of the operational risk and its proper management. For training programs, the Argentine Central Bank regulations and the definitions included in the Operational Risk Policy are taken into
account.

The Bank has also defined policies to mitigate risks derived from service outsourcing and a code of conduct governing the
relationship with suppliers.

The Bank also ensures that its operational risks are appropriately assessed before launching or introducing
new products, activities, processes or systems.

Thus, the Bank has the structure and resources needed to establish the profile of
operational risk and adopt, when appropriate, the pertinent corrective policies, in compliance with the regulations established by the Argentine Central Bank related to the management of operational risk in financial institutions.

The determination of minimum capital requirements for operational risk is carried out in accordance with the rules of the Argentine Central
Bank.

The management of the operational risks also helps to improve the quality of the service provided to our clients.

|---------- | --------------------------

Fees and Charges Applicable to ADS
Holders

The depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering
ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to
pay the fees. The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deductions from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary may
generally refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.

Fees and Direct and Indirect Payments Made by the Depositary to Us

Past Fees and Payments

Grupo
Financiero Galicia received a payment of US$270,898 for fiscal year 2015, US$289,174 for 2014 and US$257,884 for 2013 in relation to continuing annual stock exchange listing fees, standard out-of-pocket maintenance costs for the ADRs (consisting of
the expenses of postage and envelopes for mailing annual and interim financial reports, printing and distributing dividend checks, electronic filing of U.S. Federal tax information, mailing required tax forms, stationery, postage, facsimile and
telephone calls), accounting fees and legal fees.

Future Fees and Payments

The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, has agreed to reimburse the Company for expenses they incur that are related to establishment and
maintenance expenses of the ADSs program. The depositary has agreed to reimburse the Company for its continuing annual stock exchange listing fees and certain accounting and legal fees. The depositary has also agreed to pay the standard
out-of-pocket maintenance costs for the ADRs, which consists of the expenses of postage and envelopes for mailing annual and interim financial reports, printing and distributing dividend checks, electronic filing of U.S. Federal tax information,
mailing required tax forms, stationery, postage, facsimile, and telephone calls. It has also agreed to reimburse the Company annually for certain investor relationship programs or special investor relations promotional activities. There are limits
on the amount of expenses for which the depositary will reimburse the Company, but the amount of reimbursement available to the Company is not tied to the amount of fees the depositary collects from investors.

The depositary collects its fees for delivery and surrender of ADSs directly from investors depositing shares or surrendering ADSs for the
purpose of withdrawal or from intermediaries acting for them. The depositary collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting those fees from the amounts distributed or by selling a portion of distributable property to pay the fees.
The depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by deduction from cash distributions or by directly billing investors or by charging the book-entry system accounts of participants acting for them. The depositary may generally
refuse to provide fee-attracting services until its fees for those services are paid.

We expect to receive a similar reimbursement from
the depositary for expenses for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 to the one we received for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

|Item 14. | Material Modifications to the Rights of Security Holders and Use of Proceeds
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not applicable.



|Item 15. | Controls and Procedures
|-------- | -----------------------

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as amended). We performed an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file with or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act, as amended, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and is communicated to our management, including our CEO and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the
required disclosure. Our CEO and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance of their reliability.
Notwithstanding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, these disclosure controls and procedures cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving their objectives because of their inherent limitations. Disclosure controls and
procedures are processes that involve human diligence and compliance and are subject to error in judgment. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by our disclosure
controls and procedures.

(b) Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

1) Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for us and our
consolidated subsidiaries. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial
officers, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with applicable
generally accepted accounting principles. Internal controls and procedures are processes that involve human diligence and compliance and are subject to error in judgment. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

2) Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework 2013.

3) Based on our assessment, we and our management have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2015.

4) Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L., an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, as stated in their report to our consolidated financial statements.

Report of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, of cash flows and of changes in
shareholders equity present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. and its subsidiaries (the Company) at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting rules prescribed by the Banco Central de la República Argentina (the BCRA). Also, in our opinion, the Company
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting included in the Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing on Item 15.

Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our
integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control
over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Accounting rules prescribed by the BCRA vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 36 to the consolidated financial statements.

A companys
internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions
and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

##### Table of Contents

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

2.1 Basis of Presentation

The accounting policies and
financial statements presentation conform to the rules of the Argentine Central Bank which prescribes the generally accepted accounting principles for all banks in Argentina (the Argentine Banking GAAP). This differs in certain
significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in Argentina applicable to enterprises in general (Argentine GAAP) (see Note 33) and from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
(U.S. GAAP) (see Note 36).

Certain required disclosures under Argentine Banking GAAP have not been presented herein since they are not
material to the accompanying financial statements. In addition, certain presentations and disclosures have been included in the accompanying financial statements to comply with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ́s regulations
for foreign private issuers.

Certain reclassifications of the prior year ́s information have been made to conform to the current years
presentation. Such reclassifications do not have a significant impact on the Group ́s financial statements.

2.2 Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Grupo Financiero Galicia and its subsidiaries over which the Company has effective
control. Investments in companies in which the Company exercises significant influence, but not control, are accounted for under the equity method.

All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

2.3 Presentation of Financial Statements in Constant
Argentine Pesos.

Argentine GAAP in effect in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires provides that financial statements shall be stated in constant
currency, pursuant to the provisions of Technical Pronouncements Nos. 6 and 17 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (F.A.C.P.C.E.), as amended by Technical Pronouncement No. 39, approved by the
Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires on April 16, 2014, as well as interpretation No. 8 of the F.A.C.P.C.E. These GAAP measures provide that the adjustment for inflation shall be applied in an
inflationary context, which is present when, among other considerations, there exists an accumulated rate of inflation reaching or exceeding 100% during three years, taking into consideration, for such purpose, the domestic wholesale price index
published by the Argentine Institute of Statistics and Census. Financial statements reflect the effects of the changes in the purchasing power of the currency up to February 28, 2003 (the adjustment for inflation having been discontinued from
such date) pursuant to the provisions of Argentine GAAP in force in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires and the requirements of Decree No. 664/03 of the National Executive Branch, Section 268 of General Resolution No. 7/2005 of the
Corporation Control Authority, Communiqué A 3921 of the Argentine Central Bank and General Resolution No. 441/03 of the Comisión Nacional de Valores (the National Securities Commission, or the
CNV). Resolution M.D. No. 41/03 of the Professional Council in Economic Sciences of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires established the discontinuation of the recognition of the changes in the purchasing power of the currency,
effective October 1, 2003.

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos)



Although the variation of the index determined by Argentine GAAP does not determine the application of the
adjustment for inflation, one should consider the existence of successive fluctuations in significant economic variables which took place during past fiscal years when reading and analyzing these financial statements.

2.4 Foreign Currency Assets and Liabilities.

Assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are incorporated into the accounting records of the Company in Argentine Pesos at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of the transaction.

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at year-end are then translated into Argentine Pesos at closing exchange rates.

Assets and liabilities and income and expenses in foreign currencies generate transaction gains and losses, which are recorded within Exchange rate
differences on foreign currency in the consolidated statements of income.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Argentine Peso/US Dollar
exchange rate was 13.005 and 8.552, respectively.

2.5 Government and Private Securities.

Government securities mainly represent obligations of the Argentine government or the Argentine Central Bank. Corporate securities included in this caption
consist of listed corporate equity securities, mutual funds and listed debt securities.

Gains and losses and interest income on government and corporate
securities are included as Net Income from government and corporate securities in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

Government Securities

As of December 31, 2015 and
2014, the Bank records its holdings according to the following:

Holdings Recorded at Fair Value

These holdings include trading securities issued by the Argentine Government which are included in the volatilities or present value lists issued by the
Argentine Central Bank.

These securities are valued at their closing price for each class of securities in the corresponding markets or at their present
values, plus the value of amortization and/or interest coupons due and receivable. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in earnings.

The same
criterion was applied to holdings of such securities used in loans, as guarantee, transactions to be settled and repo transactions, when appropriate.

These holdings have been valued at their acquisition cost increased on an exponential basis according to
their I.R.R. The monthly accrual is charged to income or an asset offset account, depending on the securities involved.

The same criterion was applied to
the securities used in loans, as guarantee, transactions to be settled and repo transactions, when appropriate.

Securities Issued by the Argentine
Central Bank

a) At Fair Value:

These holdings are
included in the volatilities lists issued by the Argentine Central Bank, and therefore are valued at the closing price for each class of securities in the corresponding markets, plus the value of amortization and/or interest coupons due and
receivable. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in earnings. The same criterion was applied to holdings of such securities used in loans, as guarantee, transactions to be settled and repo transactions, when appropriate.

b) At the Acquisition Cost plus the I.R.R.:

These holdings have
been valued at their acquisition cost increased on an exponential basis according to their I.R.R., as they are not included in the volatilities lists issued by the Argentine Central Bank. The same criterion was applied to holdings of such securities
used in loans, as guarantee, transactions to be settled and repo transactions, when appropriate.

Investments in listed private securities

These securities are recorded at fair value, and any difference between their book value and fair value is recognized as a gain or loss in the income
statement.

2.6 Financial Trust Debt Securities and Participation Certificates.

Debt securities that are incorporated at par have been valued at their amortized cost. The remaining holdings in debt securities are recorded at cost plus the
interest rate of return. Participation certificates in financial trusts are accounted for under the equity method.

2.7 Interest Income (Expense)
Recognition.

For foreign and local currency transactions with a principal adjustment clause, as well as for those in which rates have been prearranged
for terms up to 92 days, the accrual has been recognized on a linear basis.

For local currency transactions at rates arranged for longer periods,
interest has been accrued on an exponential basis, which provides for an increasing effective rate over the life of the loan or deposit.

The Bank
suspends the accrual of interest when the related loan is past due and the collection of interest and principal is in doubt. The suspension of interest corresponds to the loans classified as with problems and medium risk or
below, under the Argentine Central Bank ́s classification rules. Accrued interest remains on the Bank ́s books and is considered to be part of the loan balance when determining the allowance for loan losses. Regarding impaired loans,
interest is recognized on a cash basis after reducing the balance of accrued interest, if applicable.

2.8 Allowances for Loan Losses.

These have been established based upon the estimated default risk of Grupo Financiero Galicias credit assistance granted through its subsidiaries, which
results from an evaluation of debtors compliance with their payment obligations, their economic and financial condition, and the guarantees securing their related transactions, in line with the Argentine Central Bank regulations. Specific
attention is given to loans with evidence that may negatively affect the Groups ability to recover the loan and accrued interest.

2.9 Provisions for Contingencies.

The Group has certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving labor and
other matters. The Group accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are based on developments to date, the Groups estimates of the outcomes of these
matters and the Groups lawyers experience in responding, litigating and settling other matters. As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined, there may be changes in the estimates of future costs, which could have a material
effect on the Groups future results of income and financial condition or liquidity.

2.10 Equity Investments.

Equity Investments include investments in companies where a non-controlling interest is held.

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, the equity method is used to account for investments where a significant influence in the corporate decision making process
exists. Significant influence is considered to be present if one of the following applies:



| |  | Ownership of a portion of a related company ́s capital granting the voting power necessary to influence the approval of such companys financial statements and profits distribution.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Representation on the related company ́s board of directors or corporate governance body.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Participation in the definition of the related company ́s policies.
|- |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Existence of significant transactions between the company holding the interest and the related company (for example, when the former is the latter ́s only supplier or by far its most important client).
|- |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Interchange of senior officers among companies.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  | Technical dependence of one of the companies on the other.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------

Investments in which the Company does not have
significant influence have been accounted for at the lower of cost or equity method.

2.11 Bank Premises and Equipment, Credits for Leases and
Miscellaneous Assets.

Bank premises and equipment and miscellaneous assets are valued at cost adjusted for inflation (as described in Note 2.3), less
accumulated depreciation.

Construction in progress is carried at cost.

Financial leases that mainly transfer risks and benefits inherent to the leased property are registered at the beginning of the lease either by the cash value
of the leased property or the present value of cash flows established in the financial lease, whichever is the lowest.

Accumulated depreciation is
computed under the straight-line method at rates over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which generally are estimated to be 50 years for properties, 10 years for furniture and fittings, and 5 years for others. Leasehold improvements are
depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. The cost of significant renewals and
improvements is added to the carrying amount of the respective fixed assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is
reflected in the consolidated statement of income.

2.12 Intangible Assets.

Intangible assets are valued at cost adjusted for inflation (as described in Note 2.3) less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized on a
straight-line basis over 120 months for goodwill and over 60 months for organization and development costs. Under Argentine Banking GAAP, goodwill is no longer recognized as an asset when it is estimated that amounts of future income will not be
sufficient to absorb the amortization of goodwill or when there are other reasons to presume that the amount of an investment made will not be recovered in full.

2.13 Shareholders ́ Equity.

Shareholders
Equity accounts have been adjusted for inflation following the procedure described in Note 2.3, except for the Capital Stock and Paid-in Capital accounts, which have been stated at their original values. The adjustment of
these accounts was allocated to the Inflation adjustments to capital stock and paid-in capital account.

2.14 Minimum Presumed Income Tax
and Income Tax.

Effective as of 1998, a Minimum Presumed Income Tax (MPIT) was established as a complementary component of income tax
obligations. MPIT is a minimum taxation, which assesses at the tax rate of 1% of computable assets at fiscal year-end, according to Law No. 25063. Ultimately, the tax obligation will be the higher of MPIT or income tax. For financial entities,
the taxable basis is 20% of their computable assets. If, in a fiscal year, the MPIT obligation exceeds the income tax liability, the surplus will be available as a credit against future income tax to be generated in any of the next ten fiscal years.
The recognition of this right and its realization each stem from the ability to generate future taxable income sufficient to offsetting purposes.

The
Bank has recognized the MPIT amount paid in the year and the accumulated amount paid in prior years as an asset for future tax deductions.

Based on the
provisions set forth by the Argentine Central Bank, the Group recorded an asset related to the MPIT amounting to Ps.10,230 and Ps. 8,446 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Argentine Central Bank regulations do not require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities; therefore income taxes for Banco Galicia are
recognized on the basis of amounts due in accordance with Argentine tax regulations. However, Grupo Galicia and Grupo Galicias non-bank subsidiaries apply the deferred income tax method. As a result, Grupo Galicia and its non-bank subsidiaries
recognized a deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

2.15 Liabilities - Banco Galicias Customers Fidelity Program
Quiero(I want).

The Bank records the points assigned to the Banks customers through the
Quiero (I want) Program using a mathematical model that takes into account certain assumptions of exchange percentages, the cost for the exchanged points based on the combination of available products and the
preferences of the Banks customers, as well as the expiration term of the customers non-exchanged points.

respectively from its customers non-exchanged points under the caption Miscellaneous Liabilities.

2.16 Statements of Cash Flows and
Cash Equivalents.

The consolidated statement of cash flows was prepared following the regulations prescribed by the Argentine Central Bank. Cash and
cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Cash and due from banks
and assets held with the purpose of complying with the short-term commitments undertaken, with a high level of liquidity, easily converted into known amounts of cash, subject to insignificant changes in value and with a maturity less than three
months from the date of the acquisition thereof, are considered to be cash and cash equivalents. The breakdown is as follows:

2.17 Use of Estimates.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Argentine Banking GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Future results could differ from those
estimates and evaluations made at the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

3. Minimum Cash Requirements and Restricted
Assets.

3.1 Pursuant to Argentine Central Bank regulations, Banco Galicia and CFA must maintain a monthly average liquidity level. Computable assets
for complying with the minimum cash requirement are cash and the checking accounts opened at the Argentine Central Bank.

Banco Galicia and CFA have met
the minimum cash requirement established by the Argentine Cental Bank.

The minimum cash requirement at the end of each fiscal year of Banco Galicia, the
main subsidiary, was as follows (as measured in average daily balances):

(a) Based upon an assessment of debtors ́ performance, the economic and financial situation and the guarantees
collateralizing their respective transactions.

(b) Includes the estimated losses due to the excess of the cost plus dividend method over the equity
method in non-majority owned equity investments.



|(c) | Estimated amounts payable under labor lawsuits filed against the Bank by former employees.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d) Litigation
arising from different types of claims from customers (e.g., claims for thefts from safe deposit boxes, the cashing of checks that have been fraudulently altered, discrepancies in deposits and payments services that the Bank renders, etc).

Consumer Protection Associations, on behalf of consumers, have filed claims against the Bank with regard to the collection of some financial charges. The Bank
considers the resolution of these controversies will not have a significant impact on its financial condition.

(e) As of December 31, 2015 and 2014,
provincial tax collection authorities, as well as tax collection authorities from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires), are in the process (in different degrees of completion) of conducting audits and assessments mainly
regarding the Compensatory Bond issued by the National Government to compensate financial institutions for the losses generated by the asymmetric pesification of loans and deposits.

The Argentine Federal Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters granted Banco Galicia a preliminary injunction in an amount equal to the Compensatory Bond in
Banco Galicia ́s challenge of an assessment by the Buenos Aires tax authorities. The Argentine Supreme Court of Justice affirmed the opinion of the Argentine Federal Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters, and the Court of Appeals therefore
ordered

the tax authority to refrain from starting tax enforcement proceedings or otherwise requesting precautionary measures for such purpose. Currently, a related appeal filed by the Bank against a
decision issued in November 2013 by the Court of First Instance is pending before the Federal Administrative Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters.

As for other claims by the tax authorities of Buenos Aires, Banco Galicia joint the Regularization Regime for Tax Obligations in Default (Law No. 3,461
and regulations), which allowed for a total payment of interest and the cancellation of penalties with respect to tax assessments, Banco Galicia ́s accession to such regime was notified to the appropriated judicial authorities under the
respected dockets.

With respect to judicial proceedings before the Tax Court of the Province of Buenos Aires related to tax assessments by authorities of
the Province of Buenos Aires, such court has resolved: (i) negatively with respect to claims of the Bank not related to the Compensatory Bond; and (ii) positively in respect of the non-taxability of the Compensatory Bond. The Bank also
joined the Tax Debt Regularization Regime (Normative Resolution No. 12 and related regulations) providing for discounts on amounts not related to the Compensatory Bond. Banco Galicias accession to such regime was notified to the
appropriate judicial authorities under the respective dockets. Meanwhile, the Province of Buenos Aires rejected the judgment issued by the Tax Court of the Province of Buenos Aires related to the Compensatory Bond and requested the Administrative
Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters of La Plata to rescind that decision. The Bank filed an answer opposing the lack of jurisdiction exception filed by the Province of Buenos Aires on the grounds that only the Supreme Court of Justice has
jurisdiction to resolve the issue. On April 15, 2014, the aforementioned Court sustained the motion for lack of jurisdiction and ordered the proceedings to be filed. The authorities from the Province of Buenos Aires filed an appeal before the
Supreme Court of Justice of the Province of Buenos Aires, which has not issued a decision to date.

With respect to other claims in various jurisdictions,
the Bank has expressed its disagreement to certain tax adjustments, before the administrative and/or judicial corresponding instances. These proceedings and their potential consequences are permanently monitored by the Banks management and
although the final outcome is still uncertain, the Bank considers it has complied with its tax obligations under existing regulations.

As regards
Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A., the Argentine Revenue Service (AFIP) conducted audits on fiscal years 1998 and 1999, not accepting certain uncollectible loans to be recorded as uncollectible receivables deductible from income tax
and minimum presumed income tax. The original amount claimed for taxes by the tax collection authorities totals Ps. 2,094.

In July 2013, the Federal Tax
Court notified the judgment sustaining the appeal filed by the company. Tax collection authorities later filed an appeal against the aforementioned judgment, which was answered by the company in December 2013. In May 2014, the Argentine Federal
Court of Appeals in Administrative Matters rejected the appeal filed by the AFIP, thus confirming the judgment issued by the Federal Tax Court, which was favorable to Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. In June 2014, the AFIP filed an
appeal before the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice with regard to the amount of the fees determined for the intstitutions attorneys which, if confirmed, shall be fully paid by the AFIP. Based on the information available at the date of these
financial statements, the company considers the decision to be issued by the Argentine Supreme Court of Justice shall not be different from the judgments issued by the other courts that heard the case.

Provisions have been recognized when (i) the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

As of December 31, 2015, Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. has no provisions set up corresponding to this claim, while as of
December 31, 2014, the company had provisions set up that amounted to Ps. 5,000.

(f) Reserves for a guarantee of credit-card receivables and for the estimated liability for the insurance of
the payment of credit-card balances in the event of the death of the credit-card holders.

At the date of these consolidated financial statements, the
AFIP, Provincial Revenue Boards and Municipalities are in the process of conducting audits and assessments, in different degrees of completion, at the companies controlled by Tarjetas Regionales S.A. Said agencies have served notices and made claims
regarding taxes applicable to Tarjetas Regionales S.A.s subsidiaries. Therefore, the companies are taking the corresponding administrative and legal steps in order to solve such issues. The original amount claimed for taxes totals
approximately Ps.15,212.

Based on the opinions of their tax advisors, the companies believe that the abovementioned claims are both legally and
technically groundless and that taxes related to the claims have been correctly calculated in accordance with tax regulations in force and existing case law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the companies have set up the provisions deemed appropriate pursuant to the evolution of each proceeding.

(g) Represents contingent commitments in connection with customers classified in categories other than the normal categories under Argentine
Banking GAAP.

(h) Represents the difference between the amounts of deposits subject to pesification at Ps. 1.40 and such amounts at the exchange rate as
of December 31, 2015.

(i) In accordance with Argentine Central Bank regulations, as a result of the difference between the cost of acquisition and
the value of assets and liabilities acquired as of June 30, 2010, consistently valued with those of the Group, a negative goodwill of Ps. 500,608 was recorded for Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Ps. 16,764 for Cobranzas y
Servicios S.A., which were recorded under the caption Liabilities  Provisions.

The allocation to income of the negative goodwill is
carried out on a straight-line basis over 60 months, taking into account Argentine Central Bank regulations on the subject. Therefore, the negative goodwill recorded for Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Cobranzas y Servicios S.A.
was Ps. 49,562 as of December 31, 2014, net of amortizations. As of December 31, 2015, it was fully amortized.

19. Shareholders ́ Equity and Restrictions Imposed on the Distribution of Dividends.

The distribution of retained earnings in the form of dividends is governed by the Corporations Law and C.N.V. regulations. These rules obligate Grupo Galicia
to transfer 5% of its net income to a legal reserve until the reserve reaches an amount equal to 20% of the companys capital stock.

In the case of
Banco Galicia, Argentine Central Bank rules require 20% of the profits shown in the income statement plus (less) prior year adjustments to be allocated to a legal reserve.

This proportion applies regardless of the ratio of the legal reserve to the capital stock. Should the legal reserve be used to absorb losses, dividends shall
be distributed only if the value of the legal reserve exceeds 20% of the capital stock plus the capital adjustment.

The Argentine Central Bank sets rules
for the conditions under which financial institutions can make the distribution of profits. According to the new scheme, profits can be distributed as long as results of operations are positive after deducting not only the Reserves, that may be
legally and statutorily required, but also the following items from Unappropriated Retained Earnings: the difference between the book value and the market value of public sector assets and/or debt instruments issued by the Argentine Central Bank not
valued at market price, the amounts capitalized for lawsuits related to deposits and any unrecorded adjustments required by the external auditors or the Argentine Central Bank.

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos)



Moreover, in order for a financial institution to be able to distribute profits, said institution must comply
with the capital adequacy rule, i.e. with the calculation of minimum capital requirements and the regulatory capital. For these purposes, this shall be done by deducting from its assets and Unappropriated Retained Earnings all the items mentioned in
the paragraph above.

Moreover, in such calculation, a financial institution shall not be able to compute the temporary reductions that affect minimum
capital requirements, computable regulatory capital or its capital adequacy.

Through Board of Directors Resolution No. 4, the Argentine
Central Bank decided that the Bank be considered, for all purposes, a Domestic Systemically Important Bank (D-SIB). Consequently, for the calculation of the distribution of profits, an additional capital requirement equivalent to 1% of the
risk-weighted assets shall be complied with as from December 2014 and up to this fiscal year-end.

Since January 2016, the Argentine Central Bank
determined that banks shall meet an additional capital conservation buffer apart from the minimum capital requirement with regard to risk-weighted assets. This shall be made up only of Tier 1 Common Capital, net of deductible items. This capital
conservation buffer shall be met gradually, within the term of 4 years, until reaching its final level for Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A. in January 2019, which shall be 3.5% of risk-weighted assets.

In addition to the above, the Argentine Central Bank requires that, after paying dividends, financial institutions must have an excess of computable capital
over the minimum capital requirements of 75%, an increase from the previous requirement of 30%. As a result of these regulations, Banco Galicia was unable to declare dividends for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Distribution of profits
shall require the prior authorization of the Argentine Central Banks Superintendence of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions, whose intervention shall have the purpose of verifying the aforementioned requirements have been fulfilled.

In addition to the aforementioned restrictions established by the Argentine Central Bank, which are applicable to Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.
and Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A., pursuant to Section 70 of the General Corporations Law, stock companies shall establish a reserve not lower than 5% of the realized and liquid profits shown in the Income Statement for the
fiscal year, until 20% of the corporate capital is reached. In the event said reserve is reduced for any reason, no profits can be distributed until its total refund.

Tarjeta Naranja S.A.s Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting held on March 16, 2006 decided to set the maximum limit for the
distribution of dividends at 25% of the realized and liquid profits of each fiscal year. This restriction shall remain in force as long as the companys shareholders equity is below Ps. 300,000.

Tarjeta Naranja S.A. has agreed, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Class XIII Negotiable Obligations, as well as in accordance with certain
financial loans contracts, not to distribute dividends that may exceed 50% of the companys net income. This restriction also applies in the case there is any excess on certain indebtedness ratios.

20. Minimum Capital.

Grupo Financiero Galicia is not
subject to the minimum capital requirements established by the Argentine Central Bank.

In addition, Grupo Financiero Galicia meets the minimum capital
requirements established by the Corporations Law, which amount to Ps. 100.

Pursuant to Argentine Central Bank regulations, Banco Galicia is required to maintain a minimum capital,
which is calculated by weighting the risks related to assets and to the balances of bank premises and equipment and miscellaneous and intangible assets.

As called for by Argentine Central Bank regulations, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the minimum capital requirements were as follows:



|                  |  |                 |            |  |                    |     |            |                                            |  |  |        |

21. Earnings per Share.

The Company is required to present earnings per share information for all periods presented. Basic earnings per share (basic EPS) are computed by
dividing the net income for the year by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year (1,300,265, 1,300,265 and 1,261,080 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively).

Basic EPS for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, were 3.337, 2.567 and 1.446, respectively.

There are no dilutive financial instruments outstanding for any of the fiscal years presented.

22. Contribution to the Deposit Insurance System.

Law
No. 24,485 and Decree No. 540/95 established the creation of the Deposit Insurance System to cover the risk attached to bank deposits, in addition to the system of privileges and safeguards envisaged in the Financial Institutions Law.

The National Executive Branch through Decree No. 1127/98 dated September 24, 1998 established the maximum amount for this insurance system to demand
deposits and time deposits denominated either in Pesos and/or in foreign currency. Such amount was Ps. 120 until October 2014, and increased to Ps. 350 on November 1, 2014.

This system does not cover deposits made by other financial institutions (including time deposit certificates acquired through a secondary transaction),
deposits made by parties related to Banco Galicia, either directly or indirectly, deposits of securities, acceptances or guarantees and those deposits set up after July 1, 1995, at an interest rate exceeding the one established regularly by the
Argentine Central Bank based on a daily survey conducted by it. Also excluded are those deposits whose ownership has been acquired through endorsement and those placements made as a result of incentives other than the interest rate. This system has
been implemented through the creation of the Deposit Insurance Fund (FGD), which is managed by a company called Seguros de Depósitos S.A. (SEDESA). The shareholders of SEDESA are the Argentine Central Bank and the financial
institutions, in the proportion determined for each one by the Argentine Central Bank based on the contributions made to the fund.

The Argentine Central
Bank set the monthly contributions that financial institutions shall make to the Deposit Insurance Fund, based on its monthly average deposits. The aforementioned contribution was established at 0.015% until October 2014, and increased to
0.06% per month as from November 2014.

amounted to Ps. 497,258, Ps. 151,450 and Ps. 75,235, respectively, recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income in Financial Expenses under the caption Contributions made to Deposit Insurance Fund.

23. Balance Sheet and Statement of Income.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos)



25. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk.

The Group has been party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its business in order to meet the financing needs of its
customers. These instruments expose the Bank to credit risk above and beyond the amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, guarantees granted and
acceptances.

The Group uses the same credit policies in making commitments, conditional obligations and guarantees as it does for granting loans. In
management ́s opinion, the Group ́s outstanding commitments and guarantees do not represent unusual credit risk.

The Groups exposure to
credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, guarantees granted and acceptances is represented by the contractual notional amount of those
investments.

A summary of the credit exposure related to these items is shown below:



|                             |  |              |           |  |      |     |           | 
|---------------------------- |  | ------------ | --------- |  | ---- | --- | --------- | 
|                             |  | December 31, |          
|                             |  | 2015         |           |  | 2014 |    
|Commitments to extend credit |  | Ps.          | 6,599,546 |  |      | Ps. | 5,965,652 | 
|Standby letters of credit    |  |              | 980,720   |  |      |     | 634,347   | 
|Guarantees granted           |  |              | 1,006,833 |  |      |     | 467,039   | 
|Acceptances                  |  |              | 898,559   |  |      |     | 103,515   | 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer at a future date, subject to the meeting of the contractual
terms. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent actual future cash requirements of the Group. The Group evaluates each customers creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. In addition to the above commitments, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the available purchase limits for
credit card holders amounted to Ps. 138,662,899 and Ps. 102,141,382, respectively.

Standby letters of credit and guarantees granted are conditional
commitments issued by the Group to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

Acceptances are conditional commitments for foreign trade
transactions.

The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit and granting guarantees is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan
facilities to customers. In order to grant guarantees to its customers, the Group may require counter-guarantees. These financial customer guarantees are classified by type, as follows:



|                             |  |              |         |  |      |     |         |

The Group accounts for checks drawn on it and other banks, as well as other items in process of collection,
such as notes, bills and miscellaneous items, in memorandum accounts until such time when the related item clears or is accepted. In managements opinion, the risk of loss on these clearing transactions is not significant. The amounts of
clearing items in process were as follows:



|                                     |  |              |            |  |      |     |           |

|Bills and other items for collection |  |              | 12,778,244 |  |      |     | 9,711,137 | 

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the trusts funds amounted to Ps.6,926,440 and Ps.6,364,522, respectively.

In addition, the Group had securities in custody, which as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, amounted to Ps.59,767,387 and Ps. 38,365,118,
respectively.

As of December 31, 2015, the Group also has off-balance sheet contractual obligations arising from the leasing of certain properties
used as a part of its distribution network. The estimated future lease payments in connection with these properties are as follows:



|               |  |     |         | 
|-------------- |  | --- | ------- | 
|2016           |  |     | 252,916 |

26. Derivative Financial Instruments.

|(a) | These transactions are made through recognized exchange markets, such as Mercado Abierto Electrónico (MAE) and Mercado a Término de Rosario (ROFEX).
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The general settlement method for these transactions does not require delivery of the traded underlying notional, rather, settlement is carried
out on a daily basis for the difference, if any, between the closing price of the underlying and the closing price or value of the underlying corresponding to the previous day, the difference in price being charged to income.



|(b) | These transactions have been conducted directly with customers. The Group records under Other Receivables from Financial Brokerage and / or Other Liabilities Resulting from Financial Brokerage,
as the case may be, the difference between the agreed foreign currency exchange rate and an average between such exchange rate at the end of the year according with the future prices published by ROFEX and MAE.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | These transactions are conducted within the environment created by the MAE, and the settlement thereof is carried out on a monthly basis, in pesos, for the difference between the cash flows calculated using a variable
rate (Badlar for time deposits of 30 to 35 days of private banks) and the cash flows calculated using a fixed rate, or vice versa, on the notional value traded, the difference in price being charged to income.

27. Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

These estimates were made at the end of December 2015 and 2014. Because many of the Bank ́s financial instruments do not have a ready trading market from
which to determine a fair value, the disclosures are based upon estimates regarding economic and current market conditions and risk characteristics. Such estimates are subjective and involve matters of judgment and, therefore, are not precise and
may not be reasonably comparable to estimates of fair value for similar instruments made by other financial institutions.

To measure fair values of
financial instruments, a hierarchy has been established which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.This hierarchy uses three levels of inputs to measure the fair value of assets and
liabilities, as follows:



| |  |  | Level 1  inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2  inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly,
for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Level 2  inputs include the following:

a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;

c) Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset

or liability; and

d) Pricing
models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.



| |  |  | Level 3  inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The estimated fair values do not include the value of assets and liabilities not considered financial instruments.

In order to determine the fair value, cash flows were discounted for each category or group of loans having similar characteristics, based on credit risk,
guarantees and/or maturities, using rates offered for similar loans by the Bank as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Grupo Financiero Galicia S.A. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos)



(1) Cash and due from banks: By definition, cash and due from banks are short-term and do not
possess credit loss risk. The carrying values as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 are a reasonable estimate of fair value and are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

(2) Government securities: As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 holdings recorded at fair market value correspond to
government bonds and securities issued by Argentine Central Bank which are carried at fair value. As of December 31, 2014, holdings recorded at their acquisition cost plus the I.R.R. correspond mainly to BAADE bonds, securities issued by
provinces governments and securities issued by Argentine Central Bank which fair value correspond to their quoted market value. As of December 31, 2013, holdings recorded at their acquisition cost plus the I.R.R. also included Bonar 2015 bonds
subscribed through exchange.

Holding recorded at fair value: Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are
classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1securities include national and government bonds, instruments issued by Argentine Central Bank and corporate securities.

(3) Loans: The fair values of loans are estimated for groups of similar characteristics, including type of loan, credit quality incorporating
the credit risk factor. For floating- or adjustable-rate loans, which mature or are repriced within a short period of time, the carrying values are considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair values. For fixed-rate loans, market prices are not
generally available and the fair values are estimated discounting the estimated future cash flows based on the contracted maturity of the loans. The discount rates are based on the current market rates corresponding to the applicable maturity. For
nonperforming loans, the fair values are generally determined on an individual basis by discounting the estimated future cash flows and may be based on the appraisal value of underlying collateral as appropriate.

The fair value of loans is classified as Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy where significant unobservable inputs were used to calculate the fair
value. The valuation technique used to obtain the fair value was an income approach using discounted cash flows. No changes in the valuation technique took place during the year.

(4) Others: Includes other receivables from financial brokerage and equity investments in other companies. This caption includes financial
trusts participation certificates for which their fair value is estimated using valuation techniques to convert the future amounts to a single discounted present amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectation
about those future amounts. The estimation of the cash flows is based on the future cash flows from the securitized assets, considering the prepayments, historical loan performance, etc. Equity investments in companies where significant influence is
exercised are not considered Financial Instruments, and equity investments in other companies are carried at market value less costs to sell.

Securitizations include the consolidated assets of Galtrust I. The fair value was determined by using the fair value of the underlying assets (Bogar Bonds).
No changes in the valuation technique took place during the year.

Other assets were classified as Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy where significant
unobservable inputs were used to calculate the fair value. The valuation technique used to obtain the fair value was an income approach using discounted cash flows based on contractual cash flows using current market rates for instruments with
similar characteristics. No changes in the valuation technique took place during the year.

(5) Deposits: The fair value of deposit
liabilities on demand and savings account deposits is similar to its book value. The fair value of time deposits was calculated by discounting contractual cash flows using current market rates for instruments with similar maturities.

unobservable inputs were used to calculate the fair value. The valuation technique used to obtain the fair value was an income approach using discounted cash flows. No changes in the valuation technique took place during the year. For floating- or
adjustable-rate deposits, which mature or are repriced within a short period of time, the carrying values are considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair values. For fixed-rate deposits, market prices are not generally available and the fair
values are estimated discounting the estimated future cash flows based on the contracted maturity of the deposits. The discount rates are based on the current market rates corresponding to the applicable maturity

33. Differences between the Argentine Central
Banks Regulations and Argentine GAAP in Force in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.

The main differences between the Argentine Central
Banks regulations and Argentine GAAP are detailed below:

Conversion of financial statements

The conversion into Argentine pesos of the financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries for purposes of their consolidation with Banco Galicias
financial statements, made in accordance with Argentine Central Bank regulations, differ from Argentine GAAP (Technical Pronouncement No. 18). Argentine GAAP requires that:

a) The measurements in the financial statements that are stated in fiscal year-end foreign currency (current values, recoverable values) be converted into
pesos at the balance sheet date exchange rate; and

b) The measurements that are stated in foreign currency of periods predating the closing date (for
example: those which represent historical costs, income, expenses) in the financial statements be converted into pesos at the pertinent historical exchange rates, restated at fiscal year-end currency due to the application of Technical Pronouncement
No. 17. Quotation differences arising from conversion of the financial statements are treated as financial income or losses, as the case may be.

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos)



The application of this criterion does not have a significant impact on the Groups financial
statements.

Allowance for Loan Losses  Non-Financial Public Sector

Current Argentine Central Bank regulations on the establishment of allowances provide that receivables from the public sector are not subject to allowances for
uncollectibility risk. Under Argentine GAAP, those allowances must be estimated based on the recoverability risk of those assets.

Negative Goodwill

A negative goodwill has been recorded which corresponds to the difference between the acquisition cost paid for the companies
Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Cobranzas y Servicios S.A. and their equity method value estimated at the moment of the purchase. Such negative goodwill is recorded under the caption Liabilities  Provisions.

Pursuant to the Argentine Central Bank regulations, the negative goodwill has to be charged to income with regard to the causes that have originated it,
not to exceed a 60-month straight-line method amortization. Pursuant to Argentine GAAP, the negative goodwill that is not related to expense estimations or estimated future losses should be recognized as a gain at the time of the purchase.

As of December 31, 2014, the negative goodwill balance amounts to Ps. 49,562. During fiscal year 2015, it was fully amortized.

Accounting for Income Tax According to the Deferred Tax Method

The subsidiaries Banco Galicia and Compañía Financiera Argentina, both subject to the regulations of the Argentine Central Bank, determine the
income tax charge by applying the statutory tax rate to the estimated taxable income, without considering the effect of any temporary differences between accounting and tax results.

Under Argentine GAAP, income tax must be recognized using the deferred tax method and, therefore, deferred tax assets or liabilities must be established based
on the aforementioned temporary differences. In addition, unused tax loss carryforwards or fiscal credits that may be offset against future taxable income should be recognized as deferred assets, provided that taxable income is likely to be
generated.

Valuation of Government Securities

Argentine Central Bank regulations set forth specific valuation criteria for government securities recorded at their acquisition cost plus the I.R.R. Pursuant
to Argentine GAAP the above-mentioned assets must be valued at their fair value.

Debt Securities and Participation Certificates in Financial Trusts

Pursuant to Argentine Central Bank regulations, participation certificates in Galtrust I Financial Trust are recorded at the present value of cash
flows discounted by the I.R.R. of instruments with similar characteristics and duration and with volatility. When the book value exceeds the present value, the monthly accrual is recorded in an asset offset account. According to Argentine GAAP, the
above-mentioned asset must be valued at its fair value.

Restructured Loans and Liabilities

Restructured loans and financial obligations are valued based on the actually restructured principal amounts plus accrued interest and principal adjustments,
when applicable, minus collections or payments made.

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos)



Pursuant to Argentine GAAP, those restructured loans and liabilities, for which modification of original
conditions imply a substitution of instruments, must be recorded on the basis of the best possible estimate of the amounts receivable or payable discounted at a market rate that reflects market evaluations on the time value of money and the specific
risks of such assets and liabilities at the time of restructuring.

Penalties Imposed on and Summary Proceedings Brought against Financial
Institutions

Argentine Central Bank regulations provide that, as from January 2015, financial institutions shall establish provisions for 100% of
the administrative and/or disciplinary penalties, and those of a criminal nature with a judgment from a lower court, imposed or commenced by the Argentine Central Bank, the Financial Information Unit (U.I.F. as per its initials in
SpanishUnidad de Información Financiera), the C.N.V. and the Argentine Superintendency of Insurance, which have been notified to Banco Galicia, regardless their level of importance, even when there are legal or administrative measures
that stop the payment of fines, and whichever the legal stage of the case. Furthermore, it provides that financial institutions shall inform such penalties in a note to the financial statements, whether they are determined or not, as well as the
summary proceedings commenced by the Argentine Central Bank, as from the moment the institution is given notice thereof.

Pursuant to Argentine GAAP, such
contingencies shall be recorded under liabilities when the possibility their effects take place is high and they can be appropriately determined in terms of currency. These shall also be included in notes to the financial statements. Contingencies
which are considered to be remote shall not be included in the financial statements or the notes thereto, while those which are not considered remote but do not meet the requirements to be recorded under liabilities shall only be included in notes
to the financial statements.

34. Adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards.

The C.N.V. has established the application of Technical Pronouncement No. 26 of the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences,
which adopts the International Financial Reporting Standards (I.F.R.S.) issued by the I.A.S.B. (International Accounting Standards Board) for certain entities included within the public offering system, whether because of their capital
or their negotiable obligations, or because they have requested to be included in such system, for financial statements corresponding to fiscal years started as from January 1, 2012.

The adoption of such standards is not applicable to the Company since the C.N.V. exempts banks, insurance companies and companies that invest in banks and
insurance companies. Therefore, due to the fact that Banco Galicia is the Companys main equity investment, a financial institution subject to the Argentine Central Bank regulations, the Company continued following the valuation and disclosure
criteria applied by Banco Galicia for the presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Furthermore, Tarjeta Naranja S.A. and Tarjetas Cuyanas
S.A., institutions which are both included in the public offering system because of their Negotiable Obligations have applied the I.F.R.S as from January 1, 2012.

In February 2014, the Argentine Central Bank decided that financial institutions should comply with the I.F.R.S., effective for fiscal years commenced on
January 1, 2018. During 2014, the Argentine Central Bank disclosed the content and formalities that the Implementation Plan for compliance with the I.F.R.S should have.

Through the Risk Management Committee, Banco Galicias Board of Directors has become aware of the roadmap established by the Argentine Central Bank and
has appointed a coordinator and an alternate coordinator, who shall be in charge of preparing the implementation plan, among other tasks.

The Plan was
approved by Banco Galicias Board of Directors and submitted on March 27, 2015.

|36. | Summary of Significant Differences between Argentine Central Bank Rules and United States Accounting Principles.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is a description of the significant differences between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP:

a. Income tax.

Argentine Central Bank regulations do not
require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities and, therefore, income taxes for Banco Galicia and Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. are recognized on the basis of amounts due in accordance with Argentine tax
regulations. However, Grupo Galicia and Grupo Galicias non-bank subsidiaries apply the deferred income tax method. As a result, Grupo Galicia and its non-banking subsidiaries have recognized a deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2015
and 2014.

In addition, the Group records as an asset the credit related with Minimum Presumed Income Tax amounting to Ps.10,230 and Ps. 8,446 as of
December 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively. The MPIT credit will be computable as a down payment of any income tax excess over minimum notional income tax through the next ten years.

For the purposes of U.S. GAAP reporting, Grupo Galicia applies ASC 740-10 Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this guidance, income tax is
recognized based on the assets and liabilities method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of Grupo Galicias assets and liabilities. Deferred tax
assets are recognized if it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. As such, the U.S. GAAP adjustment included: a) Deferred Income Taxes for banking companies not recorded for local purposes and; b) tax effects on the U.S. GAAP
adjustments including in the reconciliation.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos)



The following table accounts for the difference between the actual tax provision and the amounts obtained by
applying the statutory income tax rate in Argentina to income before income tax, calculated on the basis of U.S. GAAP for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013:

|(*) | Includes permanent differences originated in operation of shares and non-taxable dividends.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to the
taxable income projections, the Group estimates that it is more likely than not that it will recover the temporary differences and the credit recorded regarding Presumed Minimum Income Tax (See note 2.14) with future taxable income. Therefore, no
valuation allowance was provided against the deferred tax assets and presumed minimum income tax.

ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition for uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no uncertain tax positions.

The Group classifies income tax-related interest and penalties as income taxes in the financial statements.

The following table shows the tax years open for examination as of December 31, 2015, by major tax jurisdictions in which the Group operates:



|             |  |          |            | 
|------------ |  | -------- | ---------- | 
|Jurisdiction |  | Tax year |           
|Argentina    |  |          | 2011 2015 | 

b. Commissions on loans.

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, the Bank does not defer loan origination fees and costs. In accordance with U.S. GAAP under ASC 310, loan origination fees net of
certain direct loan origination costs should be recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment of yield.

Therefore the Shareholders
Equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to Ps. (95,440) and Ps. (67,327), respectively.

c. Intangible assets.

Goodwill  Recognition and
amortization

The following table summarizes the U.S. GAAP shareholders equity adjustments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:

|(2) | Goodwill is amortized for Argentine Banking GAAP purposes. Under U.S. GAAP, according to ASC 350-20, since June 30, 2001, goodwill is no longer amortized. ASC 350 requires that goodwill should be reviewed annually
for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, and adjusted in case that impairment is detected. Goodwill amortization recorded under Argentine Banking GAAP has been reversed
for U.S. GAAP purposes. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, no impairment was recorded.

Negative Goodwill 
Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Cobranzas y Servicios S.A.

As of June 30, 2010, due to the difference between the
acquisition cost and the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities acquired, for the purchase of Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Cobranzas y Servicios S.A. the Group recorded negative goodwill amounting to Ps. 500,608 for
Compañía Financiera Argentina S.A. and Ps. 16,764 for Cobranzas y Servicios S.A., respectively, under the caption Liabilities-Provisions. The negative goodwill is subsequently charged to Income on a straight-line basis over 60
months.

Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 805 requires the acquisition of the controlling interest of Compañía Financiera Argentina and Cobranzas y
Servicios S.A. to be accounted for as a business combination applying the purchase method, recognizing all net assets acquired at their fair value.

Considering that the net assets acquired were originally recorded at their fair value under Argentine Banking GAAP, no adjustments for U.S. GAAP purposes were
recorded in this regard. However, the negative goodwill recorded as a liability and being amortized over a 60 months period under Argentine Banking GAAP, has been fully recognized as a gain in the 2010 consolidated statement of income for U.S. GAAP
purposes under the caption Miscellaneous Income.

In addition, the amortization of negative goodwill recorded under Argentine Banking GAAP has been
reversed for U.S. GAAP purposes.

As of December 31, 2014, the Group has a balance of Ps. 49,562, related to the negative goodwill which has been
reversed for U.S. GAAP purposes.

Software costs

Under U.S. GAAP, ASC 850-40 defines three
stages for the costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use: the preliminary project stage, the application development stage and the post-implementation operation stage. Only the second stage costs should be capitalized. Under
Argentine Banking GAAP, the Bank capitalized costs relating to all three of the stages of software development.

d. Loan loss reserves.

Loans to the non-financial private sector and residents abroad

For the purposes of analyzing our loan loss reserve under U.S. GAAP, the Bank divides the loan portfolio into performing and non-performing commercial and
consumer loans.

The non-performing commercial loan portfolio is comprised of loans falling into the following classifications of the Argentine Central
Bank:



| |  |  | With Problems
| | - |  | ---------------



| |  |  | High Risk of Insolvency
| | - |  | -------------------------



| |  |  | Uncollectible
| | - |  | ---------------

The Bank applies ASC 310-10 to all commercial loans classified as With
problems, High Risk of Insolvency and Uncollectible. Additionally it is also considered in the assessment, however is not a determining factor, if commercial loans are more than 90 days past due. All non-performing
commercial loans are individually assessed for impairment. Consumer loans are assessed on a collective basis.

The allowance for non-performing commercial
loans is measured based on the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective loan rate or on the fair value of the collateral net of estimated costs to sell in the case where the loan is considered
collateral-dependent. An allowance for impaired loans is provided when estimated future cash flows discounted at their original effective rate or collateral fair value is lower than book value.

To calculate the allowance required for all other commercial and consumer impaired loans and unimpaired loans, the Bank performs an analysis of historical
losses from consumer and performing commercial loan portfolios in order to estimate losses for U.S. GAAP purposes, resulting from loan losses that had been incurred in such loan portfolios at the balance sheet date but which had not been
individually identified. Loss estimates are analyzed by loan type and thus for homogeneous groups of clients. Such historical ratios are updated to incorporate the most recent data reflecting current economic conditions, industry performance trends,
geographic or obligor concentrations within each portfolio segment, and any other pertinent information that may affect the estimation of the allowance for loan losses. Many factors can affect the Banks estimates of allowance for loan losses,
including volatility of default probability, migrations and estimated loss severity.

Allowances on homogeneous loan portfolios are established based on
probability of default, which is defined as the probability of the debtor within a specific loan portfolio or segment and rating, defaulting on its obligations within the next twelve (12) months. Under U.S. GAAP, this probability of default is
determined by analyzing estimated defaults or foreclosures based on portfolio trends, historical losses, and clients payment behavior.

b. Loan Charge-offs and recoveries

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, recoveries on previously charged-off loans are recorded directly to income and the amount of charged-off loans in excess of
amounts specifically allocated is recorded as a direct charge to the income statement. The Bank does not partially charge off troubled loans until final disposition of the loan, rather, the allowance is maintained on a loan-by-loan basis for its
estimated settlement value. Under U.S. GAAP, all charge off and recovery activity is recorded through the allowance for loan loss account. Further, loans are generally charged to the allowance account when all or part of the loan is considered
uncollectible. In connection with loans in judicial proceedings, resolution through the judicial system may span several years. Loans in judicial proceedings, greater than three years as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, amounted to
Ps.11,373, Ps. 2,649 and Ps. 14,744, respectively. Under U.S. GAAP these loans were completely provisioned. The Bank also classified loans, many of which are in judicial proceedings, which amounted to approximately Ps. 1,117,685, Ps. 314,988 and Ps.
401,365 as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as uncollectible, although the Bank may hold preferred guarantees. Therefore, the balance of loans and allowance for loan losses would be decreased by these amounts. There is no
impact on the Statements of Income or Shareholders equity considering that the Banks practice involves a reclassification.

c. Impaired Loans

ASC 310, requires a
creditor to measure impairment of a loan based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, or at the loans observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. This Statement is applicable to all loans (including those restructured in a troubled debt restructuring involving amendment of terms), except large groups of smaller-balance homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for
impairment. Loans are considered impaired when, based on Managements evaluation, a borrower will not be able to fulfill its obligation under the original loan terms.

The following table discloses the amounts of loans considered impaired in accordance with ASC 310, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014:

|Loan Classification        |  | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
|1. Normal Situation        |  | The debtor is widely able to meet its financial obligations, demonstrating significant cash flows, a liquid financial situation, an adequate financial structure, a timely payment record, competent management, available
information in a timely, accurate manner and satisfactory internal controls, The debtor is in the upper 50% of a sector of activity that is operating properly and has good prospects.
|                           | 
|2. With Special Follow-up  |  | Cash flow analysis reflects that the debt may be repaid even though it is possible that the customers future payment ability may
deteriorate without a proper follow-up.  This category is divided
into two subcategories:  (2.a) Under Observation
 (2.b) Under Negotiation or Refinancing Agreements.                                                                                                         
|                           | 
|3. With Problems           |  | Cash flow analysis evidences problems to repay the debt, and therefore, if these problems are not solved, there may be some losses.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
|                           | 
|4. High Risk of Insolvency |  | Cash flow analysis evidences that repayment of the full debt is highly unlikely.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|                           | 
|5. Uncollectible           |  | Amounts in this category are deemed total losses. Even though these assets may be recovered under certain future circumstances, inability to make payments is evident at the date of the analysis. It includes loans to insolvent or
bankrupt borrowers.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos)



f. Trouble Debt Restructuring disclosures

In 2015 there were seven restructuring transactions affecting commercial debtors whose financial situation had deteriorated. As of the date of issuance of
these Consolidated Financial Statements, six of these debtors are in default of their payment obligations.

As for the consumer segment, all the
restructuring transactions effected during 2014 had the following characteristics: (i) the debtor had paid, at a minimum, one installment in advance in order to qualify to the restructuring of its debt; (ii) the Bank, CFA and the Regional
Cards made sure before the restructuring that the debtors monthly payment capacity would be able to absorb the new monthly paying obligation resulting from the restructuring; (iii) the guarantees in force were in all cases maintained or,
in the case of loans without guarantees, the execution capacity for the loan was improved; and (iv) all the restructurings currently in force are arranged in consecutive monthly payments, with a minimum of six months and a maximum of 60 months.

The following tables present for the periods ended as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the financing receivables modified as troubled debt
restructurings in 2015 and 2014:

generally based on the market value of the asset received in satisfaction of the debt (an extinguishment). In this particular case, the securities being received are substantially different in structure and in interest rates than the debt securities
swapped. Therefore, such amounts should initially be recognized at their fair value. The estimated fair value of the securities received will constitute the cost basis of the asset. Any difference between the old asset and the fair value of the new
asset is recognized as a gain or loss.

As of December 31, 2013, Bonar 2015 bonds have been recorded at their acquisition cost increased according to
the accrual of their internal rate of return (I.R.R.) under Argentine Banking GAAP.

Under U.S. GAAP, the Bonar 2015 bonds were considered as available
for sale securities and recorded at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses recognized as a charge or credit to equity through other comprehensive income.

During 2014, the Group sold its holding of Bonar 2015 bonds subscribed through exchange.

Government securities and securities issued by the Argentine Central Bank

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 under Argentine Banking GAAP the Group holds government securities which are classified under the caption Holdings
Recorded at their Acquisition Cost plus the I.R.R. The Group also holds some securities issued by the Argentine Central Bank, classified under the caption Securities issued by the Argentine Central Bank, which are recorded at their
cost plus I.R.R. as they have not been included in the information about volatilities or present values issued by the Argentine Central Bank.

For U.S.
GAAP purposes, these securities were classified as trading and accounted for at its fair value with changes recorded in the income statement, except for those securities issued by the Argentine Central Bank held by Tarjetas Regionales and its
subsidiaries Tarjeta Naranja and Tarjetas Cuyanas, which were considered as Held-to-maturity securities and therefore accounted for at their amortized cost.

Others

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, certain loans that
the Group had in its portfolio were transferred to Saturno Trust. In exchange for the loans transferred, the Group received all the participation certificates, which were accounted for at cost. According to this criterion, as of December 31,
2015 and 2014 Saturno Trust was recorded under caption Other Receivables from Financial Brokerage for an amount of Ps. 22,190 in both years.

In accordance with ASC 810, the Group was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of this trust and, therefore, the Bank reconsolidated the assets and
liabilities of the mentioned trust. Upon consolidation, the loans have been measured at amortized cost with its corresponding allowance for loan losses measured in accordance with ASC 310.

f. Items in process of collection

The Bank does not give
accounting recognition to checks drawn on the Bank or other banks, or other items to be collected until such time as the related item clears or is accepted. Such items are recorded by the Bank in memorandum accounts. U.S. banks, however, account for
such items through balance sheet clearing accounts at the time the items are presented to the Bank.

Grupo Galicias assets and liabilities would be
increased by approximately Ps.17,847,540, Ps. 13,066,131 and Ps.9,596,516 applying U.S. GAAP at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Financial trust Galtrust I

The financial trust Galtrust I was created in October 2000 in connection with the securitization of provincial loans for a total amount of Ps.
1,102 million. The securitized loans were from the portfolio of loans granted to provincial governments, guaranteed by the federal tax revenues shared with the provincial governments.

During 2002, the portfolio of loans included and the related retained interest in Galtrust I was subject to the pesification. As a result the retained
interest in the trust was converted into pesos at an exchange rate of 1.40 to 1 and the interest rate for their debt securities changed to CER plus 10%. During 2003, Galtrust I had swapped its provincial loans for Bogar Bonds due 2018.

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, this transaction was accounted for as sales and the participation certificates retained by the Bank are recorded at the present
value of cash flows discounted by the I.R.R. of instruments with similar characteristics and duration and with volatility. When the book value exceeds the present value, the monthly accrual is recorded in an asset offset account. The participation
certificates are recorded under Argentine Central Bank rules in the caption Other Receivables from Financial Brokerage, and its balance as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, was Ps. 685,915 and Ps. 788,163, respectively.

In accordance with ASC 810, the Group was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of this trust and, therefore, the Bank reconsolidated the assets and
liabilities of the mentioned trust. Upon consolidation, the Bogar Bonds were classified as available-for-sale securities and measured at fair value with changes recorded in other comprehensive income.

Debt securities have been cancelled as of December 31, 2014.

The Groups maximum loss exposure, which amounted to Ps.708,589 and Ps. 944,461 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014,
respectively, is based on the unlikely event that all of the assets in the VIEs become worthless and incorporates potential losses associated with assets recorded on the Groups balance sheet.

h. Acceptances.

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, acceptances are accounted for in memorandum accounts. Under U.S. GAAP, third party liability for acceptances should be included
in Other Receivables Resulting from Financial Brokerage representing Group customers liabilities on outstanding drafts or bills of exchange that have been accepted by the Group. Acceptances should be included in Other
Liabilities Resulting from Financial Brokerage representing the Groups liability to remit payment upon the presentation of the accepted drafts or bills of exchange.

The Groups assets and liabilities would be increased by approximately Ps.898,559, Ps. 103,515 and Ps. 146,394, had U.S. GAAP been applied as of
December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.

i. Impairment of real estate properties and foreclosed assets.

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, real estate properties and foreclosed assets are carried at cost adjusted by depreciation over the life of the assets. In
accordance with ASC 360-10 Impairment of Long-lived Assets, such assets are additionally subject to: recognition of an impairment loss if the carrying amounts of those assets are not recoverable from their undiscounted cash flows and an
impairment loss measured as the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the assets.

The Group evaluates potential impairment loss
relating to long-lived assets by comparing their carrying amounts with the undiscounted future expected cash flows generated by the assets over the remaining life of the assets. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than
the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the assets. Testing whether an asset is impaired and measuring the impairment loss is performed for asset groupings at the lowest
level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows generated by other asset groups.

Long-lived assets are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In 2002, the Group determined that the uncertainty of the Argentine economic situation had a significant impact on the
recoverability of its long-lived assets and evaluated its properties for impairment. An impairment loss was recorded in 2002.

Foreclosed assets are
carried at the lower of cost and market. In 2002, the Group recorded a valuation allowance reflecting a decrease in the market values of its foreclosed properties.

In 2015 and 2014, no additional impairment was recorded in real estate properties and foreclosed assets.

The Argentine Banking GAAP depreciation for 2015 and 2014 of the assets impaired in 2002 has been reversed for U.S. GAAP purposes.

Therefore, the Shareholders Equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to Ps.
(49,020) and Ps. (50,415), respectively.

j. Equity investments in other companies

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, the equity investments in companies where significant influence exists are accounted for under the equity method. The remaining
investments have been accounted for under the cost method, taking their equity method value as a limit in book value.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, under ASC
320, the Group should determine if any factors are present that might indicate the fair value of the investment has been negatively impacted during the fiscal year. If it is determined that the fair value of an investment is less than the related
companys value, an impairment of the investment must be recognized.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the group concluded that the carrying amount of certain investments
would not be recoverable and therefore an impairment loss was recorded for U.S. GAAP purposes. Therefore the Shareholders Equity adjustment between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to Ps.
(14,365) and Ps. (14,365), respectively.

k. Financial Guarantees

Other Financial Guarantees.

During 2015 and 2014, the
Company entered into different agreements to guarantee lines of credit of selected customers amounting to Ps. 1,231,351 and Ps. 1,077,529, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, guarantees granted by the Bank amounted to Ps. 367,760
and Ps. 313,781, respectively.

Under Argentine Banking GAAP the guarantees are recorded in memorandum accounts. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013,
for U.S. GAAP purposes the Bank recognized a liability for the fair value of the obligations assumed at its inception in accordance with the requirements of ASC 460. Such liabilities are being amortized over the expected term of the guarantee. As of
December 31, 2015 and 2014, the fair value of the guarantees less the estimated proceeds from collateral amounted to Ps. (1,295) and Ps. (1,104) respectively

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Group maintained the following guarantees:

l. Non-controlling interest

Under Argentine Central Bank rules, the non-controlling interest is required to be disclosed as a component of the liabilities. Under U.S. GAAP,
non-controlling interest should be reported as a separate component within equity in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, consolidated net income and comprehensive income are reported with separate disclosure of the amounts
attributable to the parent company and to the non-controlling interest. The non-controlling interest in accordance with Argentine Banking GAAP has been eliminated for U.S. GAAP reconciliation purposes.

Also, non-controlling interest under U.S. GAAP reflects the effect in non controlling interest of all the
other U.S. GAAP adjustments discussed.

m. Foreign Debt Restructuring

On May 18, 2004, the Group completed the restructuring of its foreign debt. As a result of this restructuring, the Group recorded a Ps. 142.5 million
gain under Argentine Banking GAAP.

For U.S. GAAP purposes, the restructuring is accounted for in each of two steps. The first step of the restructuring
required the holders of the Groups debt to exchange its old debt for new debt in two tranches. Pursuant to Determining Whether a Debtors Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments is within the scope of ASC 470 (ASC 820), the
Group did not receive any concession from the holders of the debt and therefore, the first step restructuring was not considered a trouble debt restructuring. Pursuant to Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt
Instruments ASC 470-50, the first step of the restructuring was accounted for as a modification of the old debt and therefore the Group did not recognize any gain or loss. The second step of the restructuring offers the holders of the
Groups debt issued in the first step explained above to exchange it for new securities including cash, Boden 2012 Bonds and equity shares of the Group. Pursuant to U.S. GAAP this second step, the restructuring was accounted for in accordance
with Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Trouble Debt Restructurings ASC 310-40, as a partial settlement of the debt through the transfer of certain assets and equity at its fair value. After deducting the considerations used to
repay the debt, ASC 310-40 requires the comparison of the future cash outflows of the restructured debt and the carrying of the debt at the restructuring date.

A gain on troubled debt restructuring is only recognized when the remaining carrying value of the debt at the date of the restructuring exceeds the total
future cash payments of the restructured debt reduced by the fair value of the assets and equity given as payment of the debt. Since the total future cash outflows of the restructured debt exceeds the carrying value of the old debt, no gain on
restructuring was recorded under U.S. GAAP.

As a result, under U.S. GAAP, the carrying amount of the restructured debt is greater than the amount
recorded under Argentine Banking GAAP. Therefore, under U.S. GAAP, a new effective interest rate was determined to reflect the present value of the future cash payments of the restructured debt.

Furthermore, under U.S. GAAP, expenses incurred in a troubled debt restructuring are expensed as incurred. Expenses related to the issuance of equity were
deducted directly from the shareholders equity.

During 2010, the Group repurchased part of the debt maturing in 2010 and 2014. In addition,
Negotiable Obligations were repaid in advance. For U.S. GAAP purposes, these transactions were considered as an extinguishment of debt. Therefore, the U.S. GAAP adjustment recorded in previous years related to the debt extinguished was reversed in
2010, generating a gain of approximately Ps. 34,462 included in 2010 U.S. GAAP net income reconciliation.

During 2011, the Group paid in advance the
interest capitalized related to the Subordinated Negotiable Obligation for an amount of approximately US$ 95.8 million. This amount was originally scheduled to be paid in 2014. This advance payment does not constitute a modification of terms of the
Negotiable Obligation for U.S. GAAP purposes.

Shareholders Equity adjustments between Argentine Banking GAAP and U.S. GAAP as of December 31,
2015 and 2014 amounted to Ps. (69,216) and Ps. (55,815), respectively.

n. Gain on sale of non-controlling interest

Under Argentine Banking GAAP the Group recognized during the year ended December 31, 2014 a gain of Ps. 2,490 on the sale of a minority interest in
Tarjetas del Mar. Under U.S. GAAP this transaction was treated as an equity transaction.

o. Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements
(Repos and Reverse Repos).

Under Argentine Banking GAAP, initial measurement of such agreements implies sale or purchase accounting
together with the recognition of an asset and liability due to the investing or financing transaction entered into.

For U.S. GAAP purposes these
transactions have not qualified as true sales and therefore these transactions were classified trading and recorded at fair value.

The corresponding net
adjustment in shareholders equity under U.S. GAAP is included under the caption Government securities and other investments as of December 31, 2014.

There were no repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2013.

p. Fair Value Measurements Disclosures.

ASC 820-10
defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and disclosure requirements about fair-value measurements. ASC 820 -10, among other things, requires the Group to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the
use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

In addition, ASC 825-10 provides an option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for
selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments and written loan commitments not previously recorded at fair value. Under ASC 825-10, fair value is used for both the initial and subsequent measurement of the
designated assets, liabilities and commitments, with the changes on fair value recognized in net income. As a result of ASC 825-10 analysis, the Group has not elected to apply fair value accounting for any of its financial instruments not previously
carried at fair value.

Fair Value Hierarchy

ASC
820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In addition, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the
transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:



| |  |  | Level 1  inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2  inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly,
for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Level 2  inputs include the following:
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------

a) Quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities in active markets;

b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;

c) Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

d) Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means



| |  |  | Level 3  inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos)



A financial instruments categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of
input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Determination of Fair Value

Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If listed prices or quotes are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed
models that use primarily market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, including interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and currency rates. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at
fair value. These adjustments include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Banks creditworthiness, liquidity and unobservable parameters that are applied consistently over time.

The Group believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies, or assumptions, to
determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

The following section
describes the valuation methodologies used by the Group to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair-value hierarchy in which each instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate, the
description includes details of the valuation models, the key inputs to those models as well as any significant assumptions.

Assets

a) Government securities and other investments

Listed
investment securities: where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include national and province governments bonds, instruments issued by Argentine
Central Bank and corporate securities.

Other investments securities: as quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using a
discount cash flow model which includes assumptions based upon projected finance charges related to the securitized assets, estimated net credit losses, prepayment assumptions and contractual interest paid to third-party investors. These are
classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

b) Securities receivable under spot and forward purchases to be settled and under repo
transactions

Securities receivables under repurchase agreements are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy using quoted prices available
in the active market where the securities are traded.

c) Securitizations

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the caption includes the consolidated assets of Galtrust I. The fair value was determined by using the fair value of the
underlying assets (Bogar bonds). Therefore, these are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

d) Derivatives Financial Instruments

Forward transactions traded in autoregulated markets are made through recognized exchange markets, such as MAE and ROFEX.

The general settlement method for these transactions does not require delivery of the traded underlying asset. Rather, settlement is carried on a daily basis
for the difference, if any, between the closing price of the underlying asset and the closing price or value of the underlying asset corresponding to the previous day, the difference in price being charged to income. Therefore, they are classified
in Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy.

Forward transactions conducted directly with customers are recorded as the difference between the agreed foreign
currency exchange rate and an average between such exchange rate at the end of the year according with the future prices published by ROFEX and MAE. Therefore, they are classified in Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy.

Liabilities

e) Securities to be delivered under spot
and forward sales to be settled and under repo transactions

Securities to be delivered under spot and forward sales to be settled and under repo
transactions are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy using quoted prices available in the active market where the securities are traded.

f) Derivatives Financial Instruments

Forward
transactions traded in autoregulated markets are made through recognized exchange markets, such as MAE and ROFEX.

The general settlement method for these
transactions does not require delivery of the traded underlying asset. Rather, settlement is carried on a daily basis for the difference, if any, between the closing price of the underlying asset and the closing price or value of the underlying
asset corresponding to the previous day, the difference in price being charged to income. Therefore, they are classified in Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy.

Forward transactions conducted directly with customers are recorded as the difference between the agreed foreign currency exchange rate and an average between
such exchange rate at the end of the year according with the future prices published by ROFEX and MAE. Therefore, they are classified in Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy.

Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The
following table presents the financial instruments carried at fair value as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, for U.S. GAAP purposes by ASC 820-10 valuation hierarchy (as described above).

The Group did not transfer any assets or liabilities between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during 2015. In
addition, the Group is required, on a nonrecurring basis, to adjust the carrying value of certain assets or provide valuation allowances related to certain assets using fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. Loans are generally not
recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Group records nonrecurring adjustments for including certain impairment amounts for impaired loans calculated in accordance with ASC 310-10 when establishing the allowance for loan
losses. Estimates of fair value used for impaired loans generally are based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3. The valuation technique used to obtain the fair value was an
income approach using discounted cash flows based on the

contracted maturity of the loans. The discount rates are based on the current market rates corresponding to the applicable maturity. No changes in the valuation technique took place during the
year. Loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement were Ps.204,171 and Ps.161,479 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 classified as Level 3.

q. New authoritative pronouncements

During 2014, 2015
and 2016, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Updates. Those updates applicable for the Group are mentioned below:

ASU No. 2014-13

In August 2014, the FASB issued de Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-13 Consolidation (Topic 810). After transition, the amendments in this
Update apply to a reporting entity that is required to consolidate a collateralized financing entity under the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of Subtopic 810-10 when (1) the reporting entity measures all of the financial assets and the
financial liabilities of that consolidated collateralized financing entity at fair value in the consolidated financial statements based on other Topics and (2) the changes in the fair values of those financial assets and financial liabilities
are reflected in earnings.

The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those
annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period.

The Group considers this ASU
has not any significant effect in the US GAAP disclosures and financial information.

ASU No. 2014-16

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in this Update apply to all entities
that are issuers of, or investors in, hybrid financial instruments that are issued in the form of a share.

The amendments in this Update do not change
the current criteria in GAAP for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required. That is, an entity will continue to evaluate whether the economic characteristics and risks of the
embedded derivative feature are clearly and closely related to those of the host contract, among other relevant criteria. The amendments clarify how current GAAP should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host
contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. Specifically, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider all relevant terms and features including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for
bifurcations in evaluating the nature of the host contract. Furthermore, the amendments clarify that no single term or feature would necessarily determine the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. Rather, the nature of the host
contract depends upon the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument.

The amendments in this Update are effective for
public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted.

The impact of this ASU has not any significant effect in the US GAAP disclosures and financial information for the Group. The amendments in this Update
do not change the current criteria in GAAP for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required.

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos)



ASU No. 2014-18

During December 2014, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-18 Business Combinations (Topic 805). The objective of the
amendments in this Update is to address the concerns of private company stakeholders that the benefits of the current accounting for identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination do not justify the related costs. The amendments
provide guidance about an accounting alternative for recognizing or otherwise considering the fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired as a result of certain specified transactions, including business combinations.

The decision to adopt the accounting alternative in this Update must be made upon the occurrence of the first transaction within the scope of this accounting
alternative in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and the effective date of adoption depends on the timing of that first in-scope transaction.

The impact of this Update has not any significant effect in the present US GAAP financial statements.

ASU 2015-03

The FASB issued in April 2015 the Accounting
Standards Update No. 2015-03 InterestImputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30)Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The Board is issuing this Update as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in
accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for which cost and complexity can be reduced while
maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements.

The Board received feedback that having different
balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs and debt discount and premium creates unnecessary complexity. Recognizing debt issuance costs as a deferred charge (that is, an asset) also is different from the guidance in
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which requires that transaction costs be deducted from the carrying value of the financial liability and not recorded as separate assets. Additionally, the requirement to recognize debt issuance
costs as deferred charges conflicts with the guidance in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements, which states that debt issuance costs are similar to debt discounts and in effect reduce the proceeds of borrowing,
thereby increasing the effective interest rate. Concepts Statement 6 further states that debt issuance costs cannot be an asset because they provide no future economic benefit.

To simplify presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be
presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

ASU 2015-15

In August 2015, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-15 Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs
Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements. The amendments in this Update provide guidance on accounting for the costs on line-of-credit arrangements.

Given the absence of authoritative guidance within Update 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not
object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding
borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement.

information for the Group

ASU 2016-01

In January
2016, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this Update make targeted improvements to generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) as follows: i) Require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized
in net income; ii) simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; iii) eliminate the requirement for public business entities to
disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; and iv) require public business entities to use the exit
price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; among other changes.

For public business entities, the
amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Group considers this ASU has not any significant effect in the US GAAP disclosures and financial information.

ASU 2016-02

Accounting Standard Update 2016-02
Leases (Topic 842) was issued in February 2016. The FASB is issuing this Update to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key
information about leasing arrangements. To meet that objective, the FASB is amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification® and creating Topic 842, Leases. The accounting applied by a
lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Group considers
this ASU has not any significant effect in the US GAAP disclosures and financial information.

w. Risks and Uncertainties

Government Securities

As of December 31, 2015, the
Groups exposure to the Argentine public sector represented approximately 11% of the total Groups assets. Although the Groups exposure to the Argentine public sector consists of performing assets, the realization of the Groups
assets, its income and cash flow generation capacity and future financial condition is dependent on the Argentine government ability to comply with its payment obligations.

Argentine Central Banks regulations state that, the total exposure of financial institutions to the non-financial public sector must not exceed 35% of
their total assets.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Group was in compliance with the general limit of 35% imposed by the Argentine Central
Bank.

Exchange rate and restrictions

All transactions
involving the purchase of foreign currency must be settled through the single free exchange market (Mercado Único Libre de Cambios, or MULC) where the Argentine Central Bank supervises the purchase and sale of foreign currency.
Under Executive Branch Decree No. 260/2002, the Argentine government set up an exchange market through which all foreign currency exchange transactions are made. Such transactions are subject to the regulations and requirements imposed by the
Argentine Central Bank. Under Communiqué A 3471, as amended, the Argentine Central Bank established certain restrictions and requirements applicable to foreign currency exchange transactions. If such restrictions and requirements
are not met, criminal penalties shall be applied.

On October 28, 2011, the Federal Administration of Public Revenues (Administración Federal
de Ingresos Públicos, AFIP) established an Exchange Transactions Inquiry Program (Inquiry Program) through which the entities authorized by the Central Bank to deal in foreign exchange must inquire and register through
an IT system the total peso amount of each exchange transaction at the moment it is closed. All foreign exchange sale transactions, whether involving foreign currency or banknotes, irrespective of their purpose or allocation, are subject to this
inquiry and registration system, which determines whether Transactions are Validated or Inconsistent.

Pursuant to
Communiqué A 5239, afterward replaced by Communiqué A 5245, in the case of sales of foreign exchange (foreign currency or banknotes) for the formation of off-shore assets by residents without the obligation of
subsequently allocating it to specific purpose, entities authorized to deal in foreign exchange may only allow transactions through the MULC by those clients who have obtained the validation and who comply with the rest of the requirements set forth
in the applicable foreign exchange regulations. Sales of foreign exchange other than for the formation of off-shore assets by residents without a specific purpose are also exempted from the Inquiry Program, however, the financial entities must
verify that the other requirements established by the MULC are accomplished.

According to Communiqué A 5264, as amended, in general
terms the access to the foreign exchange market for residents of Argentina in order to pay services, debts and profits to non-residents has no limits or restrictions. The access to the MULC requires the filing of certain documentation by residents
evidencing the validity of transactions for which the funds are purchase for its remittance abroad. Communiqué A 5236, item 4.2.which regulated the outflow of funds allowing residents to access to the MULC for the formation of
off-shore assets without a specific allocation by residents has been suspended and, up to now, the Central Bank has not issued any other measure or provisions in this regard.

(Expressed in thousands of Argentine pesos)



On August 6, 2012, Resolution 3210 was replaced by Resolution 3356 enacted by AFIP. This resolution sets
forth more restrictions for the access to the foreign exchange market, in particular for the outflow of funds made by residents. Both resolutions (3210 and 3356) are related with Communiqué A 5239 (currently abrogated) and
Communiqué A 5245.

The Argentine government may, in the future, impose additional controls on the foreign exchange market and on
capital flows from and into Argentina, in response to capital flight or depreciation of the Peso. These restrictions may have a negative effect on the economy and on the Group ́s business if imposed in an economic environment where access to
local capital is constrained.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the exchange rate amounted to Ps.13.0050 and Ps. 8.5520, respectively.

Currently, access to the local foreign exchange market by non-residents (both individuals and entities) to transfer funds abroad is permitted (without
requesting the Argentine Central Banks prior authorization) with no limit in the case of: (i) proceeds from the principal amortization of government debt securities and guarantee loans in local currency; (ii) recoveries from local
bankruptcies; (iii) proceeds from the sale, capital reduction or liquidation of direct investments (as it is defined by the Argentine Central Bank) in the non-financial private sector in Argentina if the payment is wired to a bank account or a
beneficiary established in a country listed as cooperator on transparency and exchange of information for tax purposes; (iv) aggregate proceeds from the sale of portfolio investments made with a foreign currency and that entered the local
foreign exchange market no less than 120 days before, and (v) certain other specific cases.

On the other hand, Argentine residents (both companies
and individuals) are currently allowed by the Argentine Central Bank to purchase up to US$2,000 per calendar month, in the aggregate, for any of the following concepts in relation to the formation of offshore assets: real estate investments abroad,
the provision of loans to non-residents, direct foreign investments abroad by residents, portfolio investments abroad by individuals, other investments abroad by residents, portfolio investments abroad by resident companies, purchase of foreign
currency in the country, purchase of travelers checks and making specific donations.

In respect of portfolio investments, Argentine residents
are able to transfer funds from their local accounts to their own accounts abroad, and such funds will be freely disposable, meaning that they can be used to repay all types of obligations abroad, such as debts for services, dividends, payments for
imports of goods, investments, as long as no other regulations apply.

Access to the foreign exchange local market for the transfer of profits and
dividends abroad is permitted when (i) the company has had actual profits, corresponding to audited and final balance sheets; and (ii) an approved anticipated affidavit of payments abroad (known as DAPE) is
previously obtained from the AFIP.

Inflation

The high rate
of economic growth in recent years, which has been fueled by Argentinas full utilization of its installed productive capacity, along with expansive fiscal and monetary policies, has caused a high level of inflation in Argentina since 2007.
According to INDEC data, the CPI grew 10.9% in 2010, 9.5% in 2011, 10.8% in 2012, 10.9% in 2013, 23.9% in 2014 and 26.9% in 2015; and the WPI increased 14.6% in 2010, 12.7% in 2011, 13.1% in 2012, 14.7% in 2013, 28.3% in 2014 and 12.7% in 2015. In
the past, inflation has materially undermined the Argentine economy and the governments ability to generate conditions that fostered economic growth. In addition, high inflation or a high level of volatility with respect to the same may
materially and adversely affect the business volume of the financial system and prevent the growth of intermediation activity levels. This result, in turn, could adversely affect the level of economic activity and employment.

A high inflation rate also affects Argentinas competitiveness abroad, real salaries, employment,
consumption and interest rates. A high level of uncertainty with regard to these economic variables, and a general lack of stability in terms of inflation, could lead to shortened contractual terms and affect the ability to plan and make decisions.
This may have a negative impact on economic activity and on the income of consumers and their purchasing power, all of which could materially and adversely affect Grupo Galicias financial position, results of operations and business.

In addition to the above, the accuracy of the measurements of the INDEC is in doubt, and the current actual consumer and wholesale price indices may be
significantly higher than those indicated by INDEC. If a correction of the CPI and other INDEC indices is deemed necessary, this may lead to a marked loss of confidence in the Argentine economy. A new index with nationwide coverage (the
Índice de Precios al Consumidor Nacional urbano or IPCNu), the methodology of which was developed with help from the IMF, was recently introduced to replace the previous CPI index used by the INDEC that only covered the Autonomous Citiy of
Buenos Aires and its outskirts. It is still too early to analyze the accuracy of the IPCNu, but initial figures were close to figures received from private consultants, which too reflect higher levels of inflation.

x. Allowance for loan losses

Management believes that
the current level of allowance for loan losses recorded for U.S. GAAP purposes are sufficient to cover incurred losses of the Groups loan portfolio as of December 31, 2015. Many factors can affect the Groups estimates of allowance
for loan losses, including expected cash flows, volatility of default probability, migrations and estimated loss severity. The process of determining the level of the allowance for credit losses requires a high degree of judgment. It is possible
that others, given the same information, may at any point in time reach different reasonable conclusions.

y. U.S. GAAP estimates

Valuation reserves, impairment charges and estimates of market values on assets and step up bonds discounting, as established by the Group for U.S. GAAP
purposes are subject to significant assumptions of future cash flows and interest rates for discounting such cash flows. Losses on the exchange of government and provincial bonds and on retained interests in securitization trusts could be
significantly affected by higher discount rates. Should the discount rates change in future years, the carrying amounts and charges to income and shareholders ́ equity will also change. In addition, as estimates of future cash flows change, the
carrying amounts which are dependent on such cash flows could be affected as well. It is possible that changes to the carrying amounts of loans, investments and other assets will be adjusted in the near term in amounts that are material to the
