Notes 1 to 23 are an integral part of these consolidated statements of cash flows.

**Telefónica Móviles Argentina S.A.**

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and for

fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

**1.**  **<u>Purpose of these consolidated financial statements</u>** 

The Company has prepared these Consolidated Financial Statements (the "Financial Statements") for the sole purpose of Telecom Argentina S.A. to comply with Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X. These Financial Statements were approved by resolution of the Board of Directors and authorized for issuance on December 10, 2025.

**2.**  **<u>Background Information</u>** 

Telefónica Móviles Argentina S.A. (the "Company" or "TMA") is a company governed by the laws of Argentina. Before the events discussed in Note 23a) TMA was controlled by TLH HoldCo S.L. ("TLH HoldCo"), a company governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Spain, whose sole shareholder is Telefónica, S.A. ("Telefónica" or "TSA"). The Company was registered with the *Inspección General de Justicia* ("IGJ") on December 1, 1994, and its expiration date is November 30, 2093. The Company is an integrated telecommunications provider, focused on mobile voice and data services, fixed voice services, broadband, television, and other digital services.

The Company's registered office in Argentina is located at Av. Corrientes 707, City of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Company does business under the commercial brands "Movistar" and "Tuenti."

TMA is subject to several laws and regulations in Argentina. Licenses must be obtained under specific circumstances for the provision of services. The most prominent regulatory aspects and the licenses held by TMA are detailed in Note 4 and Note 19.

The Company has evolved since its inception through a series of corporate transactions. The most significant transaction was the acquisition and subsequent merger of TMA with Compañía de Radiocomunicaciones Móviles, S.A. ("CRM") in 2005. Additionally, during the fiscal year 2017, TMA merged with Compañía Internacional de Telecomunicaciones S.A. ("Cointel"), Telefónica Holding de Argentina S.A. ("THA"), and Telefónica Móviles Argentina Holding S.A. ("TMAH") in a transaction among entities under common control. After this reorganization, and following several capital increases, TMA increased its interest in Telefónica de Argentina S.A. ("TASA"), holding, as of December 31, 2023, a 79.06% interest in TASA's capital until its merger.

In March 2023, the merger process between TMA and TASA began, with the merger having as effective date January 1, 2024.

As of the effective date of the merger, TMA continued with TASA's activities, with the corresponding operational, accounting and tax effects. As of that date, all assets and liabilities, including registered assets, rights, and obligations of TASA, as the absorbed company, were incorporated into TMA's assets, as the absorbing and continuing company, along with the transfer of all human resources (see Note 22).

On January 23, 2024, the merger was filed for registration with the IGJ, and on March 4, 2024, the merger was finally registered. As a result of the merger, the absorbed company was dissolved without liquidation, and the shares representing its capital stock were canceled.

**3.**  **<u>Basis of presentation and accounting policies used in the preparation of the Financial Statements</u>** 

These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

**3.1 Basis of Presentation**

a) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of TMA is the Argentine peso ("Peso" or "ARS"). Therefore, all balances and transactions denominated in currencies other than the Peso are considered foreign currency transactions.

The amounts presented in these Financial Statements are expressed in Pesos unless otherwise indicated.

b) The Financial Statements have been restated to reflect the effects of inflation

International Accounting Standard No. 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" ("IAS 29") requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy, whether they are based on a historical cost approach or a current cost approach, shall be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. In general terms, this requires adjusting non-monetary items for inflation from the date of acquisition or revaluation, as applicable. These requirements also apply to comparative financial information.

To determine whether an economy qualifies as highly inflationary under IAS 29, the standard outlines a series of factors to consider, including a cumulative inflation rate over three years that approaches or exceeds 100%. Based on these criteria, Argentina has been classified as a high-inflation economy under IAS 29 since July 1, 2018.

Additionally, Law No. 27,468 (published in the Official Gazette on 12/04/2018) amended Section 10 of Law No. 23,928, as amended, establishing that the repeal of all legal or regulatory provisions allowing for price indexation, monetary correction, cost variation, or any other form of debt, tax, price or tariff adjustment to goods, works or services does not apply to financial statements, and that Section 62 in fine of General Companies Law No. 19,550 (amented text of 1984), as amended, will continue to be applicable to them. Furthermore, such law repealed Decree No. 1269/2002 of July 16, 2002, as amended, and delegated in the National Executive Branch ("PEN"), through its regulatory agencies, the power to determine the effective date of these provisions concerning financial statements. Accordingly, through its General Resolution No. 10/2018 (published in the Official Gazette on 12/28/2018), the IGJ established that entities under its supervision must apply the financial statement restatement method in constant currency, as outlined in IAS 29, to annual, interim, and special financial statements ending on or after December 31, 2018.

Under IAS 29, the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy shall be stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements. Statement of financial position amounts not already expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period must be restated by applying a general price index. All the items in the statement of comprehensive income must be expressed in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the financial statements. Therefore all amounts need to be restated by applying the change in the general price index from the date when the items of income and expense were initially recorded in the financial statements.

The inflation adjustment on opening balances was calculated by using the indexes established by the *Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales en Ciencias Económicas* (Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences or "FACPCE"), based on the price indexes published by the *Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos* (The Argentine National Statistics and Censuses Institute or "INDEC").

The indexes at the beginning, end, average, and annual inflation used for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **As of December<br> 31, 2024** | **As of December <br> 31, 2023** |
| At the beginning of the year | 3533.19 | 1134.59 |
| At the end of the year | 7694.01 | 3533.19 |
| Average of the year | 6317.74 | 1975.01 |
| Annual percentage inflation | 117.76% | 211.41% |
| Accumulated 3 years | 1220.96% | 815.61% |

---

The Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023 have been restated in constant pesos as of December 31, 2024.

The main procedures for the above mentioned inflation adjustment are as follows:

---

| |
|:---|
| Monetary assets and liabilities accounted for at the balance sheet closing currency are not restated, as they are already expressed in terms of the current monetary unit as of the financial statement date. |
| Non-monetary assets and liabilities accounted for at cost at the balance sheet date, as well as equity items, are restated by applying the corresponding adjustment factor. |
| All items in the income statement are restated by applying the corresponding adjustment factors. |
| The effect of inflation on the Company's net monetary position is included in the income statement under Net financial results, in the item "RECPAM." |
| Comparative figures have been adjusted for inflation following the same procedure explained in the preceding items. |

---

Upon the initial application of the inflation adjustment, equity accounts were restated as follows:

---

| |
|:---|
| Capital was restated from the later of the date of subscription or the date of the last accounting inflation adjustment. The resulting amount was recorded in the Inflation adjustment. |
| Other comprehensive income was restated from each accounting entry date. |
| Other retained earnings were not restated in the initial application. |

**3.2 Accounting Policies**

a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity where the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the statement of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between TMA and its subsidiaries are eliminated.

The subsidiaries' financial statements cover the same periods and are prepared as of the same closing date and in accordance with the same accounting policies as those of the Company.

b) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at their acquisition or production cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses, if applicable. These assets are reviewed for recoverability if certain events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be fully recoverable.

Intangible assets, such as licenses and spectrum, may have (i) an indefinite useful life when, based on an analysis of all relevant factors, it is concluded that there is no foreseeable limit to the period during which the asset is expected to generate net cash flows for the consolidated entities, or (ii) a finite useful life in all other cases.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. However, at the end of each fiscal year, or whenever indications of impairment arise, TMA's Management reviews the remaining useful life of these assets to determine whether it remains indefinite and, if not, takes appropriate measures to amortize the asset.

Note 19 to these Financial Statements presents the main licenses and spectrum held by TMA for 2024 and 2023.

Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortized on a straight-line basis as follows:

Licenses and spectra granted to TMA for the provision of telecommunications services by several public agencies, such as 4G and 5G licenses, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their validity period, starting from the moment regulatory conditions are met and commercial operation begins.

- Software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life, which is generally estimated at three years.

Software under development is recognized solely and exclusively if the following elements are proved: (i) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it is available for use; (ii) the intention to complete and use the intangible asset; (iii) the ability to use the intangible asset; (iv) the manner in which the intangible asset will generate future economic benefits; (v) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete development and use the intangible asset; and (vi) the ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The initially recognized amount for internally generated intangible assets, consisting mainly of software, is the sum of expenses incurred from the date the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. When no internally generated intangible asset can be recognized, development expenses are recorded in the income statement in the year in which they are incurred.

After initial recognition, internally generated intangible assets are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses, in the same way as separately acquired intangible assets.

c) Property, Plant & Equipment

PP&E are measured at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

The acquisition cost includes, among other things, direct labor costs incurred for installation and indirect costs necessary to complete the investment.

TMA depreciates its PP&E from the moment they are available for use, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which are determined based on technical studies that are periodically reviewed in accordance with technological advances and the dismantling rate, as detailed below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | Estimated useful life (in<br> years) |
| Buildings and constructions | 50 |
| Networks | 7 - 10 |
| Technical facilities and machinery | 3 - 15 |
| Furniture and utensils, tools and others | 3 - 5 |

---

d) Investment Properties

TMA records investment properties - those held to earn rental income, for capital appreciation, or both - at cost less accumulated depreciation. TMA's investment properties primarily consist of land and buildings. These properties are not occupied by TMA for its own operations.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, they are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation.

The Company depreciates its investment properties on a straight-line basis, with an estimated useful life of 50 years, determined based on technical studies that are periodically reviewed.

e) Assets Classified as Held for Sale

The Company values its non-current assets at the lower of their carrying amount or their fair value less costs to sale. Assets are classified as held for sale if it is expected that their carrying amounts will be recovered primarily through sale, rather than through continued use.

f) Recoverability of the Value of Non-current
 Assets

At each reporting period, the presence of any indications of possible impairment of non-current assets is assessed, or if there are certain events or changes indicating that the carrying amount might not be fully recoverable. Additionally, given that impairments have been recognized on the Company's non-current assets during the years 2020 and 2022, the presence of indications that the recorded losses could be reversed is also evaluated. Upon the presence of such indications (both of additional impairment and recovery of previously recognized impairments) or, in the case of assets subject to an annual impairment test for having an indefinite useful life, the recoverable amount is estimated. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value (less selling costs) and its value in use. Such value in use is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows, net of tax effects, using an after-tax discount rate reflecting the time value of money and considering the risks specific to the evaluated asset, provided the result obtained is the same as it would be when discounting future cash flows before tax effects using a pre-tax discount rate. For management purposes, the business is analyzed based on a customer-centric approach and therefore operates in a single operating segment, which is the provision of several telecommunications services to its customers, both in the mobile and fixed-line businesses. If the analysis determines that the recoverable amount of the assets is lower than their carrying amount, an additional impairment is recognized; if the recoverable amount is higher, a reversal of the previously recorded loss is recognized up to the new recoverable amount or up to the value the assets would have had if the impairment had never been recorded.

g) Leases

A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

At the lease commencement date (i.e., the date when the underlying asset is available for use), the lessee recognizes a liability for the present value of the lease payments due over the lease term, along with a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the contract term. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any revaluation of lease liabilities. The cost of the right-of-use assets includes the amount of any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. The depreciation of right-of-use assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their estimated useful life or the lease term.

The Company does not separately recognize non-lease components from lease components for all asset categories where the relative importance of non-lease components is not significant compared to the total lease value.

Lease payments include fixed payments (including fixed payments in substance) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments tied to an index or rate, and any amounts expected to be paid for residual value guarantees. To calculate the present value of lease payments, TMA uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. After the commencement date, the lease liability is increased to reflect the accrual of interest and reduced by payments made. Additionally, the lease liability value is adjusted in certain cases, such as changes in the lease term or changes in future lease payments due to a change in an index or rate used to determine such payments. The revaluation amount will generally be recognized against an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

There are two exemptions to recognition: leases of "low-value" assets (an exemption TMA applies to office equipment) and short-term leases (an exemption TMA applies to all leases with a term of 12 months or less). For these cases, accrued amounts are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company determines the lease term as the non-cancelable period of the contract, along with any period covered by an extension (or termination) option that is at TMA's discretion, if there is reasonable certainty that it will be exercised (or not exercised). In its evaluation, TMA considers all information available in the industry depending on the asset category and analyzes the relevant factors (technology, regulation, competition, business model) that provide an economic incentive to exercise or not exercise a renewal/termination option. In particular, TMA considers the planning horizon of its strategic business activities. After the commencement date, TMA re-assesses the lease term upon the occurrence of a significant event or a change in the circumstances under its control which could affect its ability to exercise (or not) a renewal or termination option (e.g., a change in the business strategy)

Leases in which TMA acts as lessor and retains a significant portion of the risks and rewards inherent to the ownership of the leased asset are classified as operating leases. Otherwise, the lease is considered a financial lease.

h) Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instruments in question.

*Initial Measurement*

Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at their fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and liabilities (other than financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or liabilities, as appropriate, assigned on the initial recognition date. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or liabilities at fair value are recognized immediately in the income statement.

*<u>Financial Assets</u>*

*Classification of financial assets*

TMA classifies its financial assets into the following measurement categories:

---

| |
|:---|
| Those that will be subsequently measured at fair value (either through other comprehensive income ("OCI"), or through profit or loss), and |
| Those that will be measured at amortized cost. |

---

The classification depends on TMA's business model for managing financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows of each financial instrument.

For assets measured at fair value, and according to the accounting analysis conducted by the company, gains and losses will be recorded in the profit or loss statement or in OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, it will depend on whether TMA has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI").

The company reclassifies debt investments only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

*Subsequent measurements*

*Debt instruments*

Subsequent measurements of debt instruments depend on TMA's business model for managing the asset and the characteristics of the asset's cash flows. TMA uses three measurement categories to classify its debt instruments:

---

| |
|:---|
| Amortized Cost: Assets that are held to collect contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent only principal and interest payments are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in financial income using the effective interest method. Impairment losses are presented under "Other operating expenses – variation of allowances for doubtful accounts" in the income statement. |
| FVOCI: Assets that are held to collect contractual cash flows and for the sale of the financial assets, where the cash flows from the assets represent only principal and interest payments, are measured at FVOCI. Changes in carrying value are recognized in OCI, except for the recognition of impairment losses, interest income, and gains or losses from foreign exchange differences, which are recognized in the income statement. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognized in the income statement. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. Foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment expenses are presented separately in the income statement. |

---

FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL (Fair Value Through Profit or Loss). Any gain or loss on an investment measured at FVPL is recognized in the income statement and presented under "financial income" or "financial expenses" in the period in which it arises.

*Derecognition of financial liabilities*

The company derecognizes a financial liability only upon the discharge, cancellation or expiration of the obligations. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid or payable is recognized in the income statement.

*Impairment*

The company assesses expected credit losses associated to its debt instruments in advance. The impairment method applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables, TMA applies the simplified approach included in IFRS 9, which requires recognizing expected losses over the lifetime of the asset from the initial recognition of trade receivables.

*Derivatives and hedging financial instruments*

The accounting treatment of any gain or loss resulting from changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it meets the criteria for hedge accounting and, if applicable, the nature of the hedge.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that have been designated and meet the requirements for hedge accounting as fair value hedges are recognized in the income statement, along with changes in the fair value of the hedged item that are attributable to the hedged risk.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify and have been designated as cash flow hedges, which are highly effective, are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income and accumulated under the "Hedge result" item. Gains or losses related to hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in the income statement when they occur. Changes in fair value previously recognized in equity are recognized in the income statement in the period the hedge is applied to the result.

When the hedged item gives rise to the recognition of a non-financial asset, both gains and losses are included in the initial cost of the asset.

i) Inventories

Inventories, which primarily consist of handsets, are valued at the lower of the weighted average cost or the net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price of the inventory less all estimated costs of completion and the necessary costs to carry out its sale.

Obsolete, defective or slow-moving inventories are written down to their estimated net realizable value. Any impairment loss on inventories is recognized in the income statement. The recoverable amount is calculated based on their age and turnover.

j) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks, demand deposits, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of less than three months, readily convertible to cash and exposed to a low risk of changes in value. These items are measured, depending on their nature, at historical cost, amortized cost or fair value, which does not differ significantly from the realizable value.

k) Employee Benefits

Termination plans are compensation resulting from agreements between the company and the employees who accept voluntary retirement. These compensations generally consist of an initial payment, and in some cases, may also include deferred compensation that is settled in monthly installments. These provisions are calculated individually based on the terms agreed with employees, considering the present value of committed payments at the closing date of each fiscal year.

l) Pensions and Other Commitments with Employees

The provisions required to recognize liabilities accrued under defined benefit plans are determined using the "projected unit credit" method. This calculation is based on demographic and financial assumptions and takes into account the macroeconomic environment. Actuarial assumptions are based on market interest rates, past experience, and management's the best estimate of future economic conditions. Changes in these assumptions may affect future costs and future benefit obligations. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

m) Revenues and Expenses

TMA's revenues are derived from the provision of telecommunications services to customers, mainly from voice and data traffic charges, network usage fees, interconnection, network and equipment rentals, and other digital services, including value-added services, maintenance services and handset sales. Products and services can be sold separately or together in commercial packages.

Revenues from calls made on TMA's networks ("traffic") are subject to a variable calling fee, depending on the duration, distance, and type of service. For prepaid services, unused traffic generates a contractual liability recorded under "Trade and other payables in the statement of financial position. Prepaid cards and any contractual liability related to prepaid traffic are charged directly to the income statement when the prepaid service expires, at which point TMA no longer has the obligation to provide the service after the expiration date.

Revenues earned from the sale of traffic and services offered at a fixed rate for a specified period ("flat rate") are recognized on a straight-line basis over the period covered by the service paid for by the customer.

All other services are recognized in the income statement as the service is provided.

Interconnection revenues from fixed-mobile and mobile-fixed calls, as well as other services used by customers, are recognized in the period in which the calls are made.

Revenues from handset and equipment sales are recognized when the sale is considered completed. Generally, the sale is considered completed when the handsets are delivered to the end customer. Discounts on handsets and equipment sales are recognized as a reduction in revenues.

For commercial packages combining several goods and services such as telephone, data, internet, and television services, revenues are allocated to each performance obligation based on the selling price of each individual component relative to the total price of the package, and is recognized when (or as) the obligation is satisfied, regardless of whether there are pending deliverables. To the extent that packages are marketed with discounts on equipment and penalties for terminating the service contract before a stated date, an increase in revenues from the sale of equipment is recorded, which will be generally recognized at the time of delivery to the customer, at the expense of recurring service revenues in later periods until the end of the period in which the termination penalty applies. The difference between the revenues from equipment and handset sales and the amount received from the customer at the start of the contract is recorded as a contractual asset in the statement of financial position. Also, certain contractual modifications are recorded retrospectively (as a continuation of the original contract), while others are recognized prospectively as a separate contract, accounting for the termination of the existing contract and the creation of a new one.

IFRS 15 establishes a global framework for determining when and how to recognize revenue from ordinary activities and its amount. The basic principle is that an entity should recognize revenue from ordinary activities in such a way that it reflects the transfer of goods or services committed to the customer in exchange for an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Costs associated with contracts with customers are recognized as an asset when these costs are incremental to obtaining a contract (sales commissions and other third-party expenses) and are expected to be recovered, with the subsequent allocation to the income statement to the same extent as the revenue related to that asset is recognized. The Company recognizes the costs of obtaining contracts as expenses when incurred if their expected amortization period is one year or less. A similar treatment applies to costs of contract performance, such as labor and materials associated with that contract.

In the Company, connection fees are recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the customer's average life span.

There are certain contracts for Irrevocable Rights-of-use, in which TMA transfers the use of certain network capacity to a third party for a specified period. These transactions require the separate recognition of revenue from the financial component embedded in the agreements with customers when it is significant.

n) Income Tax

The income tax charge represents the sum of current income tax and deferred income tax.

*Current Tax*

The current tax is based on the taxable result for the period. The taxable result differs from the result before tax presented in the income statement due to items of income or expenses that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. TMA's current tax is calculated using the applicable tax rates published or about to be published by the end of the year.

*Deferred Income Tax*

Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences between the net carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their corresponding tax bases used to calculate the taxable result. Generally, deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Additionally, deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences when it is probable that there will be tax benefit against which these deductible temporary differences can be set off. These deferred income tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that does not affect the tax result or the accounting result. In addition, temporary differences are not recognized with respect to the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures, except when TMA can control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is not likely to reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences related to these investments and interests are only recognized when it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which these temporary differences can be offset, and it is probable that they will be reversed in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realized, based on the tax rates set forth in the tax laws that have been enacted or are about to be enacted at the end of the year.

The valuation of deferred income tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would arise from the manner in which TMA expects, at the end of the period, to recover or settle the net carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

*Current and deferred income tax of the year*

The current and deferred income tax are recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that they relate to items directly recognized in Other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the current and deferred income tax are also recognized in Other Comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

o) Non-Current and Current Assets and Liabilities

The presentation in the Financial Statements distinguishes between current and non-current assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities are considered current if they are expected to be settled within one year or within TMA's normal commercial cycle, or if they are held for sale. Non-current assets and liabilities include all other types of assets and liabilities.

p) Significant Lawsuits and Use of Estimates

The follows an analysis of the key assumptions made by TMA in preparing its projections regarding its future performance and other relevant sources of uncertainty as of the closing date, which could have a significant effect on the Financial Statements for next year.

*Property, Plant, Equipment, Intangibles and Rights-of-use assets (Notes 4, 5, 6, and 7)*

The accounting treatment of PP&E, intangibles and rights-of-use assets involves making estimates to determine the useful life for depreciation or amortization purposes, as well as to determine the fair value at the acquisition date, in the particular case of assets acquired in business combinations.

Useful life determination requires estimates regarding expected technological developments and the alternative uses of assets. Assumptions regarding the technological framework and its future development involve a significant degree of judgment, as the timing and nature of future technological changes are difficult to predict.

The decision to recognize an impairment loss involves making estimates, including, without limitation, analyzing the causes of the potential impairment, as well as the timing and expected amount thereof. Additionally, factors such as technological obsolescence, the suspension of certain services, and other changes in circumstances that indicate the need to assess a possible impairment are taken into consideration.

TMA periodically evaluates the performance of its cash-generating unit to identify potential impairment of its fixed assets. Determining the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit also involves the use of assumptions and estimates and requires a significant degree of judgment.

*Deferred Income Tax (Note 17)*

TMA assesses the recoverability of deferred income tax assets based on estimated future results of each of its taxable entities, considering all possible alternatives to achieve a result and selecting the most tax-efficient option within the regulatory framework. This recoverability ultimately depends on TMA's ability to generate taxable income over the period in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible. The analysis takes into account the estimated timing of deferred income tax liability reversals as well as estimates of taxable income, based on internal projections that are continuously updated to reflect the most recent trends.

The recognition of tax-related items depends on several factors, including the estimated timing and realization of deferred income tax assets, the tax rate applicable on each date, and the expected timing of tax payments. The actual cash flows for income tax payments and collections of TMA's subsidiaries may differ from TMA's estimates due to changes in tax legislation or unforeseen future transactions that may affect tax balances.

*Provisions (Note 15)*

Provisions are recorded when, as a result of a past event, the company has a present obligation that is likely to require an outflow of resources and can be reliably estimated. Such obligations may be legal or constructive, arising from factors including regulations, contracts, customary business practices or public commitments that have created a valid expectation among third parties regarding the assumption of certain responsibilities. The provision amount recorded represents the Company's best estimate of the disbursement required to settle the obligation, considering all available information as of the reporting date, including the opinion of independent experts such as legal advisors or consultants.

Due to the inherent uncertainties of the estimates required to determine the amount of provisions, actual disbursements may differ from the originally recognized amounts based on these estimates.

In general, TMA uses third-party spaces for the installation of certain equipment. Since TMA is required to dismantle the assets placed on leased sites, a dismantling liability is recorded based on the discounted value of dismantling costs. Upon initial recognition of this liability, TMA records this cost as a right-of-use, which is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated life of the asset at the leased site or the lease term.

*Revenue recognition (Note 18)*

The offers of commercial packages that combine different goods and services are analyzed to determine whether the different elements identified should be separated, applying the appropriate revenue recognition criterion in each case. The total revenue from the package is allocated among the identified elements based on their respective fair values.

Determining the fair values of each identified element requires complex estimates due to the nature of the business.

On October 24, 2023, the Auction for the provision of Reliable and Intelligent Telecommunications Services (STeFI) was held, in which the ENACOM, through Resolution 1473/2023, registered the STeFI Service in the name of TMA, awarding Lot 3B, Bands 3550-3600 MHz, for an amount of 175 million U.S. dollars. On November 1, 2023, the payment was made in pesos at the official exchange rate. The use of the spectrum is for 20 years, starting on October 24, 2023. The amount included in additions to intangible assets for fiscal year 2023 was 211,283 million pesos.

Note 19 presents a detail of TMA's licenses and spectrum with definite and indefinite useful lives, as well as their expiration year, if applicable.

**5.**  **<u>Recoverability of Assets</u>** 

TMA assesses the recoverability of the carrying amount of its net assets based on fair value less costs of disposal and using the discounted cash flow method.

The process to determine the discounted cash flow method to determine the recoverable amount of assets, mentioned in note 3.2 f), is based on a series of assumptions, judgments, and estimates regarding cash flows, such as the revenue growth rate, future investment and working capital estimates, as well as discount rates. The assumptions for the cash flow projections are based on estimates made by the Company's management, market surveys, and macroeconomic projections. The discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is the Weighted Average Cost of Capital ("WACC"). The resulting valuation is classified at Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in IFRS 13.

According to economic analysis techniques, the recoverable value assessment is made for a five-year period, and subsequently, the assumptions are taken to perpetuity based on the Company's ability to continue operations for an indefinite period. The Company's Management believes that using a five-year period for making its estimates is appropriate.

The Company's Management documents and approves the key assumptions of the projections it makes, on the basis of TMA's historical performance and macroeconomic data taken from market financial projections.

The recoverability analysis of TMA's net assets is carried out at least annually based on the projections of the Financial Statements prepared by the Company as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, and on the growth projections and operating results for the years ending on those dates.

The assets as of December 31, 2023, and 2024 reflect the effect of the impairment recorded during years 2020 and 2022, resulting from the evaluation of the recoverability analysis of net assets made by the Company in those years.

During fiscal years 2023 and 2024, high inflation levels led to a significant increase in asset values, with an appreciation of the Argentine peso in real terms during 2024 of around 80%. In this regard, although the Company has met the business plans outlined as of December 31, 2023, and the revision of these plans at the end of 2024 is in the same direction, as of December 31, 2024, the Company's Management has concluded that the value of net assets exceeds the recoverable value thereof (both in terms of value in use and fair value, which are similar). As a result, the Company has recognized an impairment loss in Intangible Assets for 467,855 million pesos (Note 4) and in PP&E for 899,909 million pesos (Note 6), with a balancing entry in impairment loss (Note 18). Additionally, as a consequence of this impairment, the deferred income tax liability associated with the inflation adjustment of those assets has been partially reversed in the amount of 478,717 million pesos.

<u>Main assumptions used in the calculations of the recoverable value</u>:

· <u>Revenue Growth</u>: It is based on the observation
of the historical performance of each revenue item, as well as on market analysis trends. Projected revenues differentiate between product
and service lines, identifying a growth trend in postpaid and prepaid mobile services, broadband services, pay TV, and IT services, compared
to voice services (fixed).

· <u>Operating Margin Growth</u>: It takes into
account the historical margin with an estimated price correction, as well as those ongoing projects aimed at achieving greater cost efficiency.

· <u>Investment Volume</u>: Ongoing projects are
expected to lead to greater investment efficiency associated with the need to increase network capacity and coverage across the country,
which is in line with the revenue growth outlined in the long-term plan. The investment volume can also be affected by inflation and currency
fluctuations.

· <u>Discount Rate</u>: It represents the risk
evaluation in the current market. The discount rate calculation is based on the Company's specific circumstances and is derived
from the WACC. The WACC considers both debt and equity. The cost of equity arises from the expected return on investment by the Company's
investors. The cost of debt is based on loans that accrue interest that the Company is under the obligation to pay. Specific risk segments
are incorporated by applying individual beta factors.

· <u>Terminal Growth Rate</u>: Cash flow projections
as from the sixth year are calculated by using an expected constant growth rate (g), considering management's estimates and the
long-term estimated nominal and real growth of Argentina's GDP.

The main assumptions used in the calculation of asset recoverability in 2024 are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **2024** |
| Terminal growth rate | 3% |
| Investments / revenues ratio | 10.9% |
| Operating margin | 20 – 21.8% |
| Revenue growth rate | 40.6 – 3% |
| Discount rate | 58.9 – 17% |

Additions to PP&E in progress include the acquisition of network assets, mainly for network deployment, transport, and "Fiber To The Home" ("FTTH"). Investments made for the acquisition of assets relating to the maintenance and prevention plan, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line ("ADSL"), copper and other lines aim to strengthen service delivery to customers and expand the deployment of the 4G network and support services for corporate customers based on infrastructure investments.

TMA has acquired insurance policies to reasonably cover the potential risks to which its PP&E used in operations are exposed, with appropriate limits and coverage.

On October 27, 1994, ENTel, in liquidation, issued Resolution No. 96/94, in which it committed to carry out all necessary actions to complete the transfer of title to registrable assets for as long as required, and to notify the Company, with at least sixty days' notice, the deadline set in connection with the commitment undertaken. Furthermore, this resolution acknowledged that the licensees would retain the right to claim the compensation provided for in the Transfer Agreement for any properties that had not been officially transferred by the expiration of the specified term. As of the closing date of these Financial Statements, these assets have a residual value of 233,320,819,087, with approximately 169,751,882,601 of them registered under the Company's name (both balances have been restated as described in Note 3.b.). In the opinion of the Company's Management, the registration of most of the relevant assets transferred by ENTel will be successfully completed and therefore the final resolution of this matter will not have a significant impact on the Company's operating results and/or financial position.

On January 17, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors received a notifice from TLH on the terms of Section 215 of the General Companies Law, informing on the transfer of all the shares in the Company to TLH HoldCo, and proceeding to register the transfer in the Company's Register of Shareholders. Both companies are controlled by TSA.

TLH HoldCo directly controls TMA, holding a 99.9996% interest therein.

As a result of the merger process, on March 4, 2024, a capital increase of 28,372,979,020 was registered with the Public Registry of Commerce. On April 17, 2023, the Extraordinary General Meeting of TMA, as a result of the reorganization process referred to in Note 2, approved a capital increase effective on the effective date of the merger, which occurred on January 1, 2024, through the issuance of 1,450,022,273 shares of $1 nominal amount each and entitled to one vote per share, following the capitalization of the integral capital adjustment account in the amount of 26,922,956,747, which were delivered to the shareholder TLH HoldCo in replacement of the shares it held in TASA.

As a result of the effective merger date, and according to the exchange ratio set forth in the Preliminary Merger Agreement and the Final Merger Agreement, and the ownership interest TLH HoldCo held in TASA as of that date, TMA recognized as of that moment an issue premium for a total amount of 107,376,686,940 pesos.

On April 4, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with TLH HoldCo, whereby the shareholder offered to make an irrevocable contribution on account of a future subscription of shares amounting to 7,455,870,000 pesos, which was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on April 4, 2024. On May 2, 2024, the Company's Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting resolved to capitalize this irrevocable contribution and to issue 305,710,819 book-entry ordinary shares of $1 nominal amount each and entitled to one vote per share in favor of TLH HoldCo. It also resolved to capitalize the capital adjustment account of equity, which amounted to 57,504,708,733, by issuing 57,504,708,733 shares of $1 nominal amount each, which were distributed pro-rata among the shareholders.

As a result, following the capitalization of the Irrevocable Contributions, the share capital was increased to the amount of 86,461,307,278 pesos, represented by 86,461,307,278 book-entry ordinary shares of $1 nominal amount each and entitled to one vote per share.

All the preceding figures are expressed at nominal values, without restatement.

**b)** **Dividends** 

During fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 no dividends were distributed.

As of December 31, 2024, there is a balance of 63,665 available for payment to minority shareholders and treasury shares.

All the preceding figures are expressed at nominal values, without restatement, as described in Note 3.1.b).

**c)** **Legal Reserve** 

According to the General Companies Law, Argentine companies must allocate at least 5% of their annual profits to a legal reserve until such reserve reaches 20% of the capital stock. As of December 31, 2024, TMA's reserve amounted to 36,780,940,594.

**d)** **Retained Earnings** 

Retained earnings include TMA's undistributed results less the dividends declared in favor of shareholders.

The Tax Reform Law enacted at the end of 2017 set forth, among other things, a reduction in the tax rate to 30% for 2019, and to 25% starting in 2020, and imposed a tax on dividends paid by Argentine entities of 7% for 2019 and 13% as from 2020, so that companies will pay the 35% rate only if they distribute all their profits to their shareholders. Subsequently, the Social Solidarity and Productive Reactivation Law suspended the reduction of the tax rate on profits to 25% and the increase in the dividend tax to 13% for fiscal years ending before January 1, 2021. As detailed in note 17, during fiscal year 2021, Law 27,630 was enacted, which once again amended the tax rate, setting forth that companies will pay a 25% tax on the first 5 million pesos of profits, 30% on profits exceeding 5 million pesos, up to 50 million pesos, and 35% on profits exceeding 50 million pesos, while maintaining the 7% dividend tax. Additionally, the tax reform enacted at the end of 2017 also repealed the equalization tax that had been in effect until 2017, which imposed a 35% withholding on dividend distributions exceeding accumulated taxable income. The tax rate on dividends may vary depending on the shareholder's country of residence, due to possible international double taxation treaties.

On March 28, 2023, the General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company resolved to allocate the accumulated negative retained earnings as of December 31, 2022, of 28,410,356,221, expressed in the currency of that date, partially releasing this amount from the reserve for future dividends. All the preceding figures are expressed in nominal values, without restatement, as described in note 3.1.b).

On April 3, 2024, the General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company resolved to assign the accumulated negative retained earnings as of December 31, 2023, amounting to 89,477,398,891, expressed in the currency of that date, partially releasing this amount from the reserve for future dividends. All the preceding figures are expressed in nominal values, without restatement, as described in note 3.1.b).

**e)** **Other Comprehensive Income** 

The balances in the statement of comprehensive income include the amounts, net of tax effects, of temporary adjustments of assets and liabilities recognized in the statement of changes in equity (through recognized income and expenses) until they are settled or realized, when they are finally recognized as equity in the income statement.

**f)** **Effect of the Capital Increase on Subsidiaries** 

The effect of the capital increase on subsidiaries consisted of the impact on their equity due to the capital subscription in TMA's subsidiaries by TMA or by non-controlling shareholders, when not all shareholders contributed pro rata their ownership interests and the company's fair value was different from its book value. The amount was determined by the difference between the amounts subscribed and paid in each of the capital increase of a TMA subsidiary and the change in the contributor's interest in the book value of the subsidiary's equity. Depending on whether the contributor was TMA or another shareholder, this difference was reflected accordingly in its equity.

On January 5, February 3, and March 10, 2023, TASA entered into agreements with TMA, under which the shareholder committed to make irrevocable contributions on account future share subscriptions in the amounts of 8,000 million, 5,300 million and 703 million pesos, respectively. On March 28, 2023, TASA's shareholders resolved to capitalize these irrevocable contributions and to issue in favor of TMA 140,030,000,000 book-entry preferred shares, of $0.10 nominal amount each and entitled to one vote per share, with the other shareholders waiving their pre-emptive rights.

Additionally, on April 24, June 23, September 4, and October 6, 2023, TASA approved new agreements with TMA, whereby the shareholder made irrevocable contributions on account of future share subscriptions in the amounts of 5,000 million, 8,400 million, 9,800 million and 4,000 million pesos, respectively. Furthermore, on May 8, 2023, TASA approved a new agreement with TLH HoldCo, whereby the shareholder made an irrevocable contribution on account of future share subscriptions in the amount of 7,613,872,598 pesos.

On October 31, 2023, TASA's shareholders resolved to capitalize these irrevocable contributions by increasing TASA's share capital by 34,813,872,598 pesos, represented by 348,138,725,980 book-entry preferred shares, of $0.10 nominal amount each and entitled to one vote per share, in accordance with the issuing terms.

As a result of the above referred capitalizations, TMA increased its interest in TASA from 77.64% to 79.06%, which remained unchanged until the effective date of the merger.

All the preceding figures are expressed in nominal values, without restatement, as described in Note 3.1.b).

The following are TMA's principal termination plans:

<u>Organizational Simplification Plan</u>

During the past few years, TMA's Executive Committee has approved several initiatives within the framework of the organizational simplification plan. The main objective of these actions has been to align the organizational structure with the new operational model, while ensuring the protection of human talent.

During 2024, we continued with execution of various initiatives in order to adjust the organizational structure to the new operational and organizational model, based on the capabilities necessary and appropriate for the Group's new requirements.

The original plan was expanded in 2024, maintaining the conditions outlined in the original plans, with the initiatives called "Voluntary Retirement Plan", "Voluntary Early Retirement Plan" and "Matrix and Focused Plans" primarily offering, for all individuals who meet certain age and seniority requirements, of certain specific areas of the organization, a financial compensation, corporate prepaid health plan coverage and advice regarding retirement matters.

Additionally, in December, in order to extend the deadline for these initiatives, the Executive Committee decided to allocate a new financial cap for the company, totaling 19,600 million pesos, to be used within a defined period or until the cap is exhausted. This decision was communicated on December 31, 2024.

At the end of the fiscal year, a liability for payment commitments was recorded, calculated with its estimated costs according to the plan and the number of employees who adhered to it, amounting to 46,386 million pesos.

<u>Organizational Simplification Plan "*Prejubilable 2024*</u>"

In line with the strategy of simplification of the organizational structure implemented in recent years, in December 2024, the Company announced the launch of a voluntary retirement plan called "*Prejubilable 2024*".

This plan, addressed to male employees over 60 years of age and female employees over 55 years of age, with a minimum seniority of 15 years, offers a voluntary retirement option, together with an economic proposal and prepaid health coverage for a specific period of time after retirement. The period to join the plan expires on March 14, 2025, or when the defined financial cap of 3.160 million pesos is exhausted, which amount was recorded during fiscal year 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, a liability of 3,518 million pesos remains, representing the expected value of payment commitments calculated on the basis of the estimated costs of the plan's economic conditions and the number of employees who joined it.

**Post-employment Defined Benefit Plans**

The Company has a defined benefits plan. The table below summarizes the amounts of such plan:

---

TMA is required to offer workers covered by collective bargaining agreements a defined post-employment benefit. This means that any employee retiring under ordinary retirement, disability or death will receive an amount equivalent to one month's salary for every five years of service or any fractional period exceeding three years.

The Company's recorded liability as of December 31, 2024, and 2023 amounts to 7,521 and 5,149 million pesos, respectively, representing the present value of the defined benefit plan using market-based variables and estimates according to the actuarial calculation method.

As of December 31, 2024, the main actuarial assumptions used for analyzing this liability were an interest rate ranging from 26.06% to 7.12% and a salary increase ranging from 21.80% to 3.50%, estimated for the full cash flow.

As of December 31, 2023, the main actuarial assumptions used for analyzing this liability were an interest rate ranging from 162.85% to 44.93% and a salary increase ranging from 155.42% to 40%, estimated for the full cash flow.

TMA has entered into property lease agreements that set forth dismantling and restoration obligations, requiring the properties to be restored to their original condition at the end of the lease term. TMA estimates the present value of future obligations arising from decommissioning, and this value is added to the cost of the right-of-use. At the same time, a provision is recognized, which is increased by the cost of related interest cost in the periods following its initial recognition.

TMA is subject to several lawsuits and claims relating to labor, tax, regulatory and other matters, which are considered ordinary in the course of its business activities. Each such situation involves a certain degree of uncertainty, and the outcome of any lawsuit or contingency cannot be predicted with certainty. If, prior to the issuance of these Financial Statements there is information - considering the opinion of TMA's external counsel - indicating that it is probable that a liability has been incurred as of the reporting date, and the amount of the loss or the range of probable loss, including the related court costs, can be reasonably estimated, such loss is recognized as a provision in the income statement and accumulated under "Other provisions" in the statement of financial position.

As of 31, 2024 and 2023, the account "Other provisions" includes the following:

i) Labor contingencies mainly derive from:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Joint and several laibility in labor matters;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Occupational accidents and diseases; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Salary differences and other compensation payments.

ii) Tax contingencies mainly derive from claims from the Revenue Office ("AFIP"), provincial tax authorities and municipalities. In this case, they primarily relate to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Municipal fees; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· National and provincial taxes.

iii) Civil and regulatory contingencies relate to civil, commercial, administrative litigation, regulatory, and other matters. In this case, they primarily relato to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· damages;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· regulatory claims;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· claims relating to accountability; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· fines imposed by regulatory authorities.

*Increase of the turnover tax rate*

In 2009, the Company was notified of a claim filed by *Unión de Usuarios y Consumidores* ("Unión"), through which TMA was requested to reimburse the amounts collected on account of "Turnover Tax Rate Increase." Unión argues that this constitutes a surcharge that was neither disclosed to customers nor detailed at the time of contracting, thereby violating Consumer Protection, Fair Trade, and Antitrust laws. The claim was answered by the Company, emphasizing that the nature of the Turnover Tax is indirect and transferable to the customer and that customers were duly informed of this in the Service Requests.

The Company's Management and legal counsel believe that the Company has solid arguments to defend its position and seek the dismissal of the claim, as customers were properly informed and, accordingly, no accounting provision has been recorded in connection with this matter. Given the nature of the claim, should the outcome of this matter be contrary to the Company's Management and legal counsel evaluation, they estimate, based on the best available information, that the potential impact on the Company would amount to approximately 2,871 million pesos, as of December 31, 2024.

*Terrestrial Network*

The Company has been notified of a claim filed on February 6, 2008 by the *Asociación Protección Consumidores del Mercado Común del Sur* ("Proconsumer"), seeking the reimbursement to all individual customers who contracted mobile voice services with the company of the amounts charged and labeled on the invoice as "Interconnection Minute" in excess of the amount established in the General Tariff Structure approved by Decree No. 92/1997. TMA responded to the claim by arguing that the interpretation and background information on which the claim is based are inaccurate under the current regulations. Additionally, the Company reported the existence of a ruling in favor of AMX Argentina S.A. in a similar case filed by Proconsumer, for which the judge decided that the case should be referred to the court that ruled on AMX's case, considering that the same judge should handle both due to their evident similarity. The plaintiff appealed this decision, and on December 5, 2018, the Court of Appeals upheld the appeal and ordered the case to proceed in its current state. A Federal Extraordinary Appeal was filed against this ruling on December 21, 2018, but was ultimately dismissed by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (CSJN) on March 10, 2020. In September 2023, the Public Prosecutor's Office issued an opinion stating that the claim should be dismissed. The proceedings are currently at the sentencing stage. In March 2024, the claim was dismissed with court costs being awarded against the association. The judge considered that there was no evidence of the $0.0465 tariff limitation nor that the repeal of Article 13 of Decree 92/97 required companies to charge a lower amount than that established in the General Tariff Structure, as claimed by plaintiff, who appealed the first-instance judgment. The appeal was rejected by the Court of Appeals in October 2024. The plaintiff did not file an extraordinary appeal, and therefore the judgment dismissing the lawsuit has become final.

*M2345 Promotion*

In 2012, the *Asociación Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil para su Defensa* filed a claim against the Company seeking the reimbursement to all customers of the amounts charged under the "2345-M Promotion", as well as the imposition of a compensatory sanction on the terms of Section 52 of the Consumer Protection Law, alleging that the Company failed to provide sufficient information to consumers. However, the Company declared that its actions complied with the standards set forth in the Consumer Protection Law, as the information provided on its website, which the promotion referred to, was adequate and conformed to the applicable regulations.

The Company's Management and legal counsel believe that TMA has strong arguments to defend its position and expect the claim to be dismissed. Therefore, no provision has been made in connection with this claim. In the event that the final outcome of this matter is unfavorable to the Company, its Management and legal counsel estimate that, based on the information available to date, the potential impact would amount to approximately 900 million pesos, as of December 31, 2024.

*Línea Control 400 and 600*

In 2007, TASA, a company now merged into TMA, was sued by *Asociación Unión de Usuarios y Consumidores* ("Unión") together with *Asociación para la Defensa de Usuarios y Consumidores*. The purpose of this claim is to have TASA maintain the 100% discount previously applied to the "*Bloqueo Línea Control 400*" service, included in the business plan known as "*Control 400*" (LC400), and also to obtain the reimbursement of the amounts charged to customers on such account.

On October 17, 2017, TASA was notified of the first-instance decision, which ordered TASA to: a) cease billing the "*Bloqueo Línea Control 400*" service to the subscribers of the "*Línea Control 400*" service; b) reimburse customers for the amounts charged on account of the "*Bloqueo Línea Control 400*" service since July 2006, with the corresponding interest on the terms of Section 31 of Law 24.240; and c) pay a civil fine in favor of users under the terms of Sections 31 and 52 bis of such law. On October 20, 2017, TASA appealed the judgment issued in both cases. The appeals were granted, and the cases were submitted to the Federal Court of Appeals on Administrative Litigation Matters.

In September 2018, the Court of Appeals partially upheld the first-instance judgment, and TASA filed an extraordinary appeal against such judgment. Then the proceedings were suspended following the deregistration of the plaintiff from the Collective Associations Registry.

Meanwhile, *Unión de Usuarios* had requested an injunction ordering the immediate suspension of the billing and collection of the "Bloqueo Línea Control 400" to all users until the case was resolved. This was granted in the first instance and notified on May 18, 2018. This decision was also appealed by TASA, but the appeal was later declared abstract.

Once the plaintiff was reinstated in the Registry, the proceedings resumed before the Court of Appeals in order to resolve the extraordinary appeals filed in due time. On August 22, 2019, the appeals were dismissed. Consequently, on September 2, 2019, a petition in error (*recurso de queja*) was filed before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (CSJN) for denial of extraordinary appeal, which was subsequently rejected on August 23, 2022 by the CSJN.

The case is currently in the judgment enforcement stage. We have made the reimbursements ordered to active customers and during 2024 the necessary procedures were carried out to reimburse inactive customers.

Considering the historical values resulting from the approved settlement and the reimbursements made to both active and inactive customers to date, the total economic impact of the case as of December 31, 2024, amounts to approximately 56 million pesos, on account of court costs.

Additionally, TASA faces a similar claim filed by *Asociación Civil para la Defensa en el Ámbito Federal e Internacional de Derechos* relating to Línea Control 600, which is still in the evidentiary stage.

TMA's Management and legal counsel believe that this case is likely to have an unfavorable outcome given its similarity, for which a provision has been recorded as civil and regulatory contingencies for approximately 439 million pesos, which is the best estimate of the amount to be disbursed in this case.

*Entel's claim against TASA*

In 1999, ENTel sued TASA, a company now merged into TMA, which was the telecommunications service concessionaire following the privatization process claiming a rendering of accounts and the reimbursement of the amounts received by TASA on behalf of ENTel after becoming a licensee of telecommunications services, as well as the amounts deducted as commissions. In general terms, the disputed issues were the amounts that TASA collected on behalf of ENTel, i.e. the consumption charges for telecommunications services provided to ENTel's customers, whether billed or not, but still unpaid at the time of privatization. ENTel also contested the commissions that TASA deducted in exchange for billing services and certain accounts receivable collected by TASA that allegedly belonged to ENTel and had not been transferred to TASA in the privatization process. TASA answered such claim by arguing that such request was inadmissible, as such settlements had been previously submitted to ENTel's Liquidation Commission and were not contested at that time. In 2010, the Court of First Instance ruled in favor of ENTel, holding TASA responsible for the disputed matters.

After exhausting all available legal remedies, TASA submitted the account settlements, which were then contested by the national government on behalf of the dissolved ENTel. Since then, a series of settlement submissions and cross-objections between the parties ensued, along with the intervention of a court-appointed accounting expert. Following several judicial decisions, the presiding judge rejected TASA's objections to the settlements presented by the national government and adopted the calculations made by ENTel and the court-appointed expert. Although this decision was appealed, the Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal in October 2017, largely upholding the settlements submitted by ENTel and the court-appointed expert but also ordering ENTel to recalculate interest. Specifically, the Court's resolution accepted certain claims raised by TASA and ordered the application of a "judicial" interest rate (the average passive rate of the Central Bank of Argentina), which included a daily capitalization component, rather than the 8% simple annual interest rate set in the privatization terms (which had even been used by the court-appointed expert and ENTel in their calculations). The Court of Appeals decision exhausted all ordinary legal remedies available, for which TASA filed an extraordinary appeal, which was rejected in November 2017. TASA has filed a petition in error (*recurso de queja*) with the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, which remains unresolved as of the date hereof. This appeal did not automatically suspend potential enforcement by ENTel, and on February 22, 2018, ENTel submitted a new calculation of principal and interest upon request of the judge. However, in April 2018 the presiding judge suspended further proceedings, ordering that the case await the Supreme Court's decision on the petition in error.

In response, the national government filed an appeal, which was resolved by the Court of Appeals in November 2018 by upholding the appeal and instructing the lower court judge to rule on the approval of the settlement submitted by the plaintiff.

Following this decision, in December 2018 TASA filed a Federal Extraordinary Appeal, which was declared inadmissible by the Court of Appeals in February 2019. As a result of this, on February 27, 2019 TASA filed a new petition in error with the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, which did not suspend the enforcement proceedings.

On March 26, 2019, the lower court judge finally resolved to approve ENTel's settlement calculation, amounting to 1,689,367,880.11 pesos. TASA appealed this decision, to have the Court of Appeals review this decision, but the appeal was rejected on October 8, 2019. On October 23, 2019, TASA filed a Federal Extraordinary Appeal, which was later rejected, prompting TASA to file another petition in error with the CSJN, which remains unresolved. In September 2020, ENTel submitted a request to the court for an updated settlement calculation, which, as of August 31, 2020, amounted to 3,445 million pesos.

In December 2020, TASA proposed a joint settlement calculation with ENTel and a structured payment plan in installments, adjusted according to the interest rate set by the court. As ENTel rejected TASA's proposal and then filed an application for enforcement on the basis of the settlement made at values as of February 1, 2018, totaling 1,689 million pesos, on December 29, 2020, TASA, without withdrawing the petitions in error that have not yet been resolved by the Supreme Court, deposited such amount in the account specified by ENTel for that purpose and submitted the relevant deposit slip.

On March 11, 2021, TASA calculated the outstanding amounts as of that date and transferred the amount of 156 million pesos to ENTel. ENTel contested this settlement, but on April 15, 2021 the Court of First Instance approved TASA's calculation. However, this decision was overturned by the Court of Appeals on October 7, 2021, which rejected TASA's objections and approved ENTel's supplementary interest settlement of 1,872 million pesos as of March 11, 2021, with the court costs of both instances to be borne by TASA.

TASA then filed a Federal Extraordinary Appeal against the judgment of the Court of Appeals of October 7, 2021, which has not yet been resolved. Nevertheless, to avoid potential enforcement actions, on December 28, 2021, TASA paid the amount of 2,392 million pesos, covering the outstanding balance owed to ENTel as per the Court of Appeals' ruling, updated to that date. This payment was made under an express reservation of rights. Later, all pending appeals were dismissed.

Based on the information available to date, the terms of the judgment of the Court of Appeals, the deposits made on December 29, 2020, March 11, 2021, and December 28, 2021 to pay the principal and interest owed in the litigations, and the subsequent payment of the fees of the professionals involved in the case, TMA maintains a provision of ARS 133 million to cover probable losses relating to court fees.

*Profit-sharing bonds ("PSB")*

Several legal actions have been brought by employees and former employees of TASA, a company now merged with TMA, against the Argentine government and TASA, requesting that Decree No. 395/92, which expressly exempted TASA and Telecom Argentina S.A. from issuing the PSB provided for in Law No. 23,696, be declared unconstitutional. The plaintiffs have also claimed compensation for the alleged damages they have suffered because such bonds have not been issued.

In August 2008, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, in the case "Gentini, Jorge v. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT", by a majority vote, ruled Decree No. 395/92, which set forth that TASA was not under the obligation to issue the PSB established in Law No. 23,696 unconstitutional, and upheld the claim of the 20 plaintiffs for damages. The Supreme Court ruled that the judges of a lower court, in this case, the National Court of Appeals on Labor Matters, should determine the nature and extent of the liability of each defendant, namely, the National Government and TASA. In April 2009, TASA was notified of the ruling by the Court of Appeals, which held TASA jointly and severally liable with the National Government for the amounts calculated by an accounting expert (plus interest and costs), based on 0.5% of TASA's profits from each fiscal year, to be distributed according to the share interest of each of them according to the guidelines set forth in the relevant Employee Stock Ownership Program. In December 2018, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation ruled in favor of the Company regarding the appeal filed by TASA, concerning the use of percentages instead of ratios, as well as the interest rate applied by the accounting expert.

However, as of the date hereof there are specific issues on which there have been inconsistent rulings from first and second instances, which must be definitively resolved to determine the criteria for quantifying any potential monetary judgment, including: (i) the profit-sharing percentage, (ii) whether net profits or pre-tax profits should be considered, (iii) the periods during which the right to PSB was in force, (iv) who is eligible to claim, and (v) the effects of TASA's repurchase of Class C shares in 1998 on the PSC. In this regard, Management is taking into consideration significant judicial decisions to prepare its estimates.

In December 2013, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation ruled in the case "Domínguez v. Telefónica de Argentina S.A.," establishing that the statute of limitations should begin to run on the date of approval of each annual balance sheet, as it concerns a monetary obligation the breach of which results in recurring damages whenever dividends should have been paid.

Following this ruling, on February 14, 2012, the National Court of Appeals on Labor Matters, in full court, decided in the case "Medina, Nilda Beatriz v. Telecom Argentina S.A. and another on worker stock ownership," that "the statute of limitations applicable to claims for workers' credits established by Section 29 of Law 23,696 is the one provided in Article 4,023 of the Civil Code," meaning that the applicable statute of limitations for such claims is ten years. On the other hand, in the Federal Civil and Commercial jurisdiction, on December 30, 2021, the three chambers of the Federal Civil and Commercial Court unified criteria by issuing a plenary ruling in the case "Altamirano Elio and others v. Ministry of Labor, Employment, and Social Security and other on damages," concerning the applicable statute of limitations for matters relating to profit-sharing bonds. The plenary ruling determined that the applicable statute of limitations is the one set forth in Article 4027, subsection 3, of the Civil Code, i.e., five years, and that this term must be counted from the date of the company's general meetings approving balance sheets reflecting profits.

In February 2014, the Court of Appeals on Civil and Commercial Matters, in the case "Parota v. National State and Telefónica de Argentina S.A.," determined that the amount of PSB should be calculated on the basis of TASA's taxable income, defining taxable income as the income subject to income tax that the company must pay, which generally means gross revenues, including all revenues obtained during the fiscal year (including contingent or extraordinary income), minus all ordinary and extraordinary expenses accrued during that fiscal year.

In June 2015, the Supreme Court, in the case entitled "Ramolino v. Telecom Argentina S.A.," ruled that the benefits granted by Article 29 of Law 23,969 do not apply to employees who joined the licensees after the privatization of ENTel.

Considering the information available to date and the opinion of the company's legal counsel regarding the aforementioned premises, TMA has recorded a provision for labor contingencies of approximately 189 million pesos, representing the best estimate of the amount to be disbursed for failure to issue the PSB.

However, TMA's Management considers that the Company is not responsible for the failure to issue the PSB for which it might seek reimbursement from the National Government for any amounts that it may ultimately be required to pay in connection with these claims.

*"Memofácil" and home maintenance services*

TASA, a company now merged with TMA, has been individually sued by different consumer associations, in order to have TASA stop charging for the services called "Memofácil" (call answering service) and "Home Maintenance". They argue that the Memofácil service was promoted as free, with no expiration date, and yet TASA has been charging for the calls made to check messages. Regarding the home maintenance service, the argument is that this service is not mentioned in the contract with customers. The claim also seeks the reimbursement of the amounts charged to the customers for these services

TASA's Management believes that there is no legal basis for the Memofácil claim, as the way in which public service agreements are contracted does not allow for the execution thereof, and TASA began charging for the message consultation service in 2006, after prior notification in the invoices and brochures sent to customers. In addition to this, the home maintenance service is based on Decrees No. 62/90 and 2332/90, and both the service and the price increase have been duly explained to customers.

TMA and its legal counsel consider that the main issue to be determined is whether the Company is required to enter into written contracts with service users and whether users have given valid consent. Additionally, they must assess whether the information provided to customers was sufficient. Given the early stage of the claim, in the event of a ruling against the evaluation made by Management and its legal counsel, they consider that this could have a significant impact on TMA of approximately 14,018 million pesos. No accounting provision has been recorded in connection with this matter.

*Labor jurisdiction interest*

In September 2022, the National Court of Appeals on Labor Matters (CNAT) issued Memorandum No. 2764, establishing the interest rates applicable to ongoing cases without a final judgment. Through this and the subsequent Memorandum No. 2768/22, the CNAT decided to maintain the interest rates set in Memorandums No. 2601/14, 2630/16 and 2658/17, with annual capitalization starting from the service of the claim. This resolution proposed an interest structure for cases without a final ruling and for credits without a specific legal regime. However, the annual capitalization resulted in disproportionate and unreasonable results, leading to multiple challenges before the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (CSJN) by the obligors.

Upon this situation, on February 29, 2024, the CSJN ruled that the periodic capitalization set forth in Memorandum No. 2764 lacked legal grounds under the Civil and Commercial Code of the Nation. In particular, Article 770 of such code prohibits anatocism (interest capitalization), except in the exceptions expressly provided for.

Following this ruling, the CNAT issued Memorandums No. 2783 and No. 2784, proposing a new interest calculation structure. However, they were disallowed by a new ruling of the CSJN. Finally, on August 21, 2024, the CNAT issued Memorandum No. 2788, setting aside the recommendations of the previous memorandums.

Subsequently, the different chambers of the CNAT started to adopt new criteria, consolidating a majority position that declared Laws 23.928 and 25.561 unconstitutional, and implementing the Consumer Price Index (CPI) plus a pure interest rate of 3% p.a.

Based on these events, and in collaboration with external counsel, the Company decided to implement a new calculation method starting in September 2024 in all jurisdictions. This change involves recalculating interest based on the criteria of the Bases Law, applying the CPI from the credit's origin date plus an interest rate of 3% p.a. In addition, new jurisdictions have been incorporated for updating labor-related claims.

The recalculation of provisions based on these parameters is deemed sufficient in connection with the liabilities recorded to date.

*Second due date of invoices*

In 2009, the association *Consumidores Financieros Asociación Civil para su Defensa* (a consumer association) filed a claim against TASA, a company now merged with TMA, and Telecom Argentina S.A., claiming (i) to limit the collection of interest in cases of payment arrears for billed services, instead of maintaining the generic 10-day period; (ii) to apply the passive deposit rate of the Argentine Central Bank, stating that the active rate is inappropriate; (iii) to reimburse late payment charges to the affected consumers; (iv) to verify the possible existence of calculation errors leading the defendants to require excessive payments; and (v) to apply the fine set forth in Section 52 bis of Law 24.240.

TASA argues that this is a charge or surcharge for late payment, similar to a default interest or penalty clause for non-compliance, as referenced in Decree No. 2332/90 and as outlined in Decree No. 1246/75.

On December 22, 2023, the first-instance ruling was issued rejecting the claim, with the plaintiff paying court costs. The decision was appealed by the plaintiff, and on August 29, 2024, the Court of Appeals overturned the first-instance ruling upholding the claim. Upon this, the Company filed an extraordinary appeal, which was rejected by the court, for which it filed a petition in error with the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.

TMA's Management and its legal advisors believe they have solid arguments to support their position, but in the event of a final judgment contrary to the evaluation made by them, they consider that it could have a significant impact on the Company, of approximately 2,266 million pesos.

*VAS BT (value added services of the basic telephone service) subscription*

In 2014, the NGO *Centro de Orientación, Defensa y Educación del Consumidor* (a consumer protection organization, "CODEC") filed a class action against TASA, a company now merged with TMA, seeking to declare null and void and cease all charges made based on account of the VAS BT Subscription, and requesting reimbursement to all consumers who have not expressly requested it, plus interest, the fine under Section 29 of the RGCSBT (Regulations for Basic Telephone Services), and the civil fine under Section 52 bis of the Consumer Protection Law.

CODEC's claim is based on the argument that such subscription has not been expressly requested by users, unless TASA can prove it has validly obtained their consent before starting to charge such amounts.

TASA based it defense on the price freedom applicable to VAS, which is an value-added service additional to basic telephone services, non-public and competitive, more beneficial for the user, which was notified to customers before it started to be charged, and on the fact that there have not been any complaints in respect thereof. It was also stated that a similar complaint had been filed with the regulatory authority (the "ENACOM") by the Ombudsman against TASA, where the cease and reimbursements of VAS charges had been ordered.

In August 2023, the Judge issued an unfavorable ruling for TASA, upholding most of CODEC's claims. This decision was appealed by TASA based on the above referred defenses and the opinion issued by ENACOM's Legal Affairs Department of 2019, in the administrative file relating to such complaint, which concluded that TASA did not breach the General Tariff Structure ("EGT") and that the claim should be rejected.

On November 7, 2024, the Court of Appeals confirmed the first-instance ruling. The Company filed an extraordinary appeal.

TMA's Management and legal counsel believe that the Company has solid arguments to continue defending its position. However, given that the first-instance ruling has been unfavorable to TMA, there is a possibility of costs arising from this litigation, particularly regarding a potential increase in the civil fine due to the amendment of Section 47, sub-section b) of Law 24,240 of December 1, 2022. The amounts involved in this litigation as of December 31, 2024 amount to 10,878 million pesos, according to the first-instance ruling.

*Other claims from customer associations*

In addition to the above-mentioned claims, TMA is subject to other claims filed by several customer associations. Although the Company has not made any provisions for these claims, TMA may ultimately be liable to pay the full or a substantial part of the amount claimed by the plaintiffs. However, as of the date hereof there is no further information on these claims, nor a final resolution thereof, for which it is not possible to make a more precise estimate of these cases.

**16.**  **<u>Risk Management Policy</u>** 

TMA is exposed to various financial market risks in the ordinary course of its business operations. The main market risks affecting TMA are:

· **Liquidity risk:** TMA is exposed to liquidity
risk if there is a mismatch between the need for funds (including operating and financial expenses and investments) and the sources of
funding (including revenues, divestitures, credit facilities from financial institutions and financing instruments from related parties,
including capital contributions). The cost of raising funds is also affected by the financial conditions in Argentina.

· **Exchange rate risk:** TMA is exposed to
exchange rate risk because its functional currency is the peso and the value of financial assets and liabilities in currencies other than
TMA's functional currency is subject to variations resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates.

· **Credit risk:** TMA is exposed to the possibility
that a third party may not comply with its contractual obligations, which could adversely affect TMA's results of operations.

**Liquidity Risk**

TMA's general financial policy is to manage liquidity to ensure that the necessary funds to cover future obligations are available through funds from operations and, occasionally, financing from related parties or third parties. TMA's Management believes that any future negative working capital will continue to be reasonably financed by suppliers or financial institutions, or eventually by Telefónca's related parties.

**Exchange Rate Risk**

TMA actively manages the exchange rate risk through the use of financial assets to minimize such risks and optimize TMA's financial cost. In this way, the Company seeks to protect its solvency and financial results. The Company may engage in exchange rate hedging for highly probable future foreign currency transactions to prevent tge potential adverse effects that exchange rate movements may have on its financial exposure.

For fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, no currency hedging transactions with derivative contracts have been made.

The following table shows the foreign currency balances as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

(\*) See Note 13 a) for information on the principal types of financial assets in foreign currency for the different periods.

(\*\*) See Note 13 b) for information on the principal types of financial liabilities in foreign currency for the different periods.

**Credit Risk**

Credit risk arises from the possibility of TMA incurring losses due to difficulties in collecting its receivables for services provided to customers and for the sale of handsets and cards that have been previously activated for the distribution network.

Credit risk in connection with accounts receivable is diversified and mitigated through strict control of the customer base. TMA constantly monitors the level of accounts receivable arising from postpaid services and limits the risk of bad debt by disconnecting lines with overdue accounts. The mobile customer base also uses the prepaid system, which requires the purchase of credit in advance and, therefore, does not present credit risk.

The credit risk associated with mobile handsets and prepaid services in the distribution network, as well as the sale of financed handsets to retailers, is managed through a conservative credit granting policy. This includes the use of modern credit rating methods, requiring guarantees, and consulting commercial databases.

TMA is also exposed to credit risk arising from its short-term financial investments. To manage this risk, TMA monitors the credit limits granted to each counterparty and diversifies this exposure among top-tier financial institutions in accordance with the current credit policies of financial counterparties.

**17.**  **<u>Taxation</u>** 

The Company individually files an income tax return in accordance with the Argentine tax legislation.

The legal tax rate applicable as of the 2021 period consists of a progressive scale, with amounts adjusted annually starting on January 1, 2022, based on the annual variation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) published by the INDEC. The scale in effect for fiscal year 2024 is as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Accumulated net taxable income** | **Accumulated net taxable income** | | | |

Additionally, the Tax Reform Law enacted at the end of 2017 imposed a tax on dividends paid by an Argentine entity to individuals and foreign beneficiaries which, following the amendments introduced by the Social Solidarity and Productive Reactivation Laws and Law No. 27.630, the maintains the 7% tax rate for the period 2020 and onwards. In addition, the 2017 reform repealed the equalization tax in respect of profits generated from 2018 onwards, which imposed a 35% withholding tax on dividend distributions exceeding accumulated taxable income.

Based on an analysis of the implications of the ruling of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (CSJN) in the leading case *Candy S.A.* and the numerous related rulings derived therefrom, TASA, a company now merged with TMA, filed a claim against the AFIP challenging the agency's decision to deny TASA's request to apply the tax inflation adjustment and deduct the updated depreciation and amortization charges for fiscal years 2008 to and including 2014.

Between 2016 and 2019, the First and Second Instance Courts ruled in favor of TASA's claims, ordering the AFIP to reimburse TASA for the amounts of 2008-2009 and 2010, plus the corresponding interest.

As a result of these favorable rulings, from fiscal year 2015 to fiscal year 2019, TASA began applying the tax inflation adjustment and deducting in its tax returns the updated amortization charges and the write-off costs of PP&E and intangible assets and filed declaratory actions of unconstitutionality with the Federal Court of Administrative Litigation Matters for each of the indicated years, independently from any administrative and/or judicial appeals arising from tax audit processes commenced by the AFIP.

Finally, in 2022, the CSJN issued a favorable ruling for TASA concerning fiscal periods 2008-2009, 2010, and 2015. Additionally, cases relating to the periods 2011-2012, 2013, and 2017 also have final and firm rulings in favor of the Company. Cases relating to the remaining fiscal periods are at different procedural stages, with favorable first and second-instance rulings for fiscal period 2016, whereas in the case of fiscal period 2018, the First Instance Court rejected the declaratory action of certainty, which decision has been appealed by the Company to the National Court of Appeals.

On the other hand, TMA and its legal counsel have analyzed the implications of the CSJN ruling in the *Candy S.A.* leading case and the numerous related rulings derived therefrom, particularly the court's favorable rulings for TASA regarding the recognition of the different inflation-adjustment mechanisms for income tax determination in different fiscal periods. As a result, the tax returns for fiscal periods 2019 to 2023 include the deduction of updated amortization installments and the write-off costs of PP&E and intangible assets acquired before fiscal period 2018. As of the date of issuance of these Financial Statements, the Company has filed Declaratory Actions of Unconstitutionality with the Federal Court on Administrative Litigation Matters for fiscal periods 2019 to and including 2023, to judicially validate this criterion. These actions are at different procedural stages and are pending resolution by the respective first-instance courts.

The Company's Management and legal counsel believe that the Company has solid arguments to support the criteria applied in the periods indicated.

Finally, the tax provision for fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 does not include the effect of updated amortization charges or the write-off costs of assets prior to January 1, 2018, nor does it include an adjustment of the computable tax loss. This is due to the fact that no determined tax liability is estimated, and therefore the confiscatory requirement is not met on the terms of the above-mentioned the *Candy S.A.* and TASA leading case.

**Tax on Deposits to and Withdrawals from Bank Accounts**

In accordance with Law No. 25,413, the Company is subject to the tax on deposits to and withdrawals from bank accounts. Since its implementation, this tax has functioned as a payment on account of other taxes, and under current regulations, 33% of the amounts withheld under this tax can be used as a credit against the Income Tax. It is important to note that if a credit balance results from the application of this tax on bank debits and credits, it will not be freely available but can only be used against the income tax of future periods.

Due to the financial context of TASA, a company now merged with TMA, and its future tax projections, during fiscal years 2021, 2022, and 2023, TASA had decided to expense the entire credit generated by the tax on bank debits and credits, amounting to a total of 2,199,055,008 pesos. In the context of the merger (Notes 2 and 22), TMA, based on its tax projections, decided to re-recognize the aforementioned credit.

**Share-based Payment Plans**

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, certain employees were covered by share-based compensation plans approved by TSA's Board of Directors, provided certain objectives of the Telefónica Group are met and the employee is on the payroll at the time of delivery thereof. At the end of fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, TMA maintained a liability relating to these share-based compensation plans amounting to 3,873 million pesos and 2,824 million pesos, respectively

**Environmental Aspects**

We have an environmental management system (EMS) based on the UNE-ISO 14001:2015 standard, which has been integrated since 2020 with the Occupational Health, Safety and Well-being System based on the ISO 45001:2018 standard. Both systems are validated by an independent external entity. The EMS has been continuously in effect in the Company's operations since 2009, allowing us to proactively manage potential risks and impacts arising from operations and to ensure regulatory compliance regarding environmental matters. In 2024, the certification of the Integrated Environmental and Labor Management System (SGI) was successfully maintained once again. Environmental protection is essential for sustainable development, and as a company, we have a responsibility to contribute to its conservation.

As an organization, TMA is strongly focused on reducing resource consumption and emissions, which is reflected in the definition and monitoring of objectives that form part of its strategic plan. These objectives have been met and continuously challenged every year. Potential environmental risks associated with operations are preventively managed, as well as waste management, prioritizing reuse and recycling whenever possible. TMA works to minimize its environmental impact while also developing services that help mitigate the potential effects of other sectors on the environment.

All members of Movistar are encouraged to adopt a responsible environmental behavior and to increase awareness among end customers regarding progress in this area. The company extends environmental management across the entire supply chain by incorporating clauses in contracts with suppliers that include legal requirements and those derived from the organization's policy. Additionally, communication and awareness campaigns, training programs, audits, and other initiatives are carried out for all stakeholders.

Measurements of Non-Ionizing Radiations (NIR) conducted at our base stations remain below the legally permitted limits. All handsets and equipment offered by Movistar comply with the internationally accepted Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and are locally approved by the relevant authorities.

Current scientific research indicates that there are no adverse health effects as long as exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields remains below the levels set forth in the regulations in force.

*Mobile Services*

In 1996, TMA was granted a license to provide Mobile Telephony Services ("STM") in Area III (central and southern Argentina). Additionally, in 1999, TMA obtained licenses to provide Personal Communications Services ("PCS") in Area I (northern Argentina), Area II (Greater Buenos Aires Area ("AMBA") and its extension), and Area III. Since its establishment, TMA has merged with various companies and has spun off parts of its operations, with the main transactions involving Miniphone S.A., CRM, Compañía de Teléfonos del Plata S.A. ("CTP"), and Radio Servicios S.A. ("RS"). As a result of these mergers, the following licenses were transferred to TMA:

a) License to provide Cellular Mobile Radiocommunications Service ("SRMC") in Area II.

b) License to provide STM in Area III.

c) Additional PCS licenses covering all of Argentina (Areas I, II and III).

d) Licenses to provide SCMA (Mobile Advanced Communications Services) services throughout Argentina.

e) License to provide Radio-electric Service of Concentration of Links ("SRCE").

In 2022, by means of ENACOM Resolution No. 1730/2022, the Company was allocated spectrum channels in the requested locations, in accordance with the terms of the Bidding Terms and Conditions approved by ENACOM Resolution No. 798/2022. In October 2022, a payment of 1,193,850,346 was made for the locations available for use.

In 2023, the Company participated in the public auction for the allocation of radio spectrum, in accordance with the terms of ENACOM Resolution No. 1285/2023, which approved the General and Specific Bidding Terms and Conditions for the Allocation of Frequency Bands for the Provision of Reliable and Intelligent Telecommunications Services (STeFI). The purpose of the auction was to allocate lots in the 3,300 MHz – 3,600 MHz frequency band for the provision of Reliable and Intelligent Telecommunications Services (STeFI).

On October 24, 2023, the auction for the allocation of lots with frequency bands from 3,300 MHz to 3,600 MHz was held, with a base price of USD 350,000,000 for lots of 100 MHz. On the same day, the ENACOM issued Resolution No. 1473/2023, whereby it registered the STeFI service under TMA's name and awarded Lot 3B (bands of 3550-3600 MHz) for USD 175,013,000.

On November 1, 2023, payment was made in Argentine pesos at the official exchange rate, and a performance bond policy equivalent to 15% of the award value was presented.

The spectrum usage period is 20 years, counted as from October 24, 2023. On this date, the term to comply with all deployment obligations in V phases starts to run (Phase I: 12 months; Phase II: 30 months; Phase III: 48 months; Phase IV: 66 months; Phase V: 84 months).

*Fixed Services*

As a result of the merger, the Company took possession of the licenses of the absorbed entity, thereby holding unlimited-term licenses for the provision of telecommunications services, including local telephony, national and international long-distance telephony, international telex, national and international data transmission, value-added services, and other telecommunications services. These licenses were granted either through various license agreements with the National Government or through administrative acts by the National Government. In addition, in January 2018, TASA, a company absorbed by TMA, was registered as the holder of the subscription broadcasting service via physical link to provide such services in certain locations, on the terms of Resolution No. 5641/2017.

The Bidding Terms and Conditions ("List of Conditions") approved by Decree No. 62/90, as amended, and the Transfer Agreement, set forth certain obligations regarding the licenses originally granted to TASA, now merged with TMA, of which the following obligations remain in force:

(a) The assets contributed to and used for the provision of the basic voice service may not be sold, assigned
or transferred by any means, nor encumbered in any way.

(b) The Company must maintain all or a substantial part of the voice service provision, as well as TASA's
core business and headquarters in Argentina.

(c) Certain service provision objectives must be met, primarily aimed at efficiency, quality, service maintenance
and equal access to fixed voice lines for data and value-added service providers.

In the event of a serious breach of these obligations, TASA's license could be revoked after following the procedures established in the List of Conditions. However, revocation would not take place if the Company obtains the prior approval from the regulatory authority. In addition, Decree No. 264/98 established new mandatory and non-mandatory targets for the provision of the basic voice service. According to the Compny's Management, TMA has complied with all applicable obligations.

Since March 1992, in compliance with its specific functions, the National Telecommunications Commission ("CNT") - later known as the National Communications Commission ("CNC"), and S.C., then the AFTIC and now the ENACOM - has regulated various aspects of basic telephony and other telecommunications services, including the procedures to make claims, contracting regulations, billing and service quality, some of which have been contested by TASA.

On September 5, 2000, Decree No. 764/00 was published in the Official Gazette, officially deregulating the telecommunications market. This decree approved the Telecommunications Services Licensing Regulations (amended by Decree No. 681/13 and later replaced by Resolution MM 697-E/2017), Interconnection Regulations (replaced by the Regulations approved by Resolution MM 286/2018), Universal Service Regulations (initially replaced by the regulations approved Decree No. 558/08 and later by the new Regulations approved by ENACOM Resolution No. 2642/16), and Radio Spectrum Administration, Management, and Control Regulations (amended by Decree No. 2426/12).

Telecommunications services are subject to the regulations issued by the legislative power and by the agencias of the Executive Branch resulating such activity. Additionally, the Company is subject to national, provincial, and municipal laws and regulations, depending on the jurisdiction. In particular, telecommunications services are regulated, controlled, and supervised by the ENACOM, with the participation of the Department of Trade in certain cases, which enforces and supervises competition regulations through the *Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Compatencia* (Antitrust Commission or "CNDC"), and which also enforces and supervises consumer protection regulations.

On December 19, 2014, Law No. 27.078 ("Argentina's Digital Law") came into effect, declaring the development of ICT and its associated resources to be of public interest, while also establishing and enrusing complete network neutrality.

On January 2, 2017, Decree No. 1340/16 was published in the Official Gazette. This decree incorporated ENACOM Resolution No. 5641/2017, which (i) extended the deadline until January 1, 2019, for entities referred to in Section 94 of Argentina's Digital Law, to provide subscription broadcasting services by physical or radio link in locations with fewer than 80,000 inhabitants or in locations with more than 80,000 inhabitants where the service is exclusively provided by cooperatives, (ii) set forth that in locations not covered by Decree No. 1340/2016, regardless of population size, the entities referred to in Section 94 of Argentina's Digital Law may offer subscription-based broadcasting services, provided at least one nationwide licensee already serves 700,000 customers. However, in this case, the service may not be sold as an integrated package with other services.

Due to ongoing regulatory changes, it is impossible to predict their future impact on TMA's business and strategic plans. In this regard, by means of Decree No. 798/16 dated June 22, 2016, the Executive Branch instructed the Ministry of Communications to adapt and update the regulations on licensing, interconnection, radio spectrum control and number portability within a term of 90 days.

In this context, the following resolutions were issued: Resolution MM 697-E/2017, approving the ITC Services Regulations; Resolution MM 286/2018, approving the General Interconnection and Access Regulations; and Resolution MM 203/2018, approving the Number Portability Regulations.

Additionally, under ENACOM Resolution No. 94/2018, TASA, now merged with TMA, was registered as the holder of the Subscription Broadcasting Service by Physical Link, to provide such service in the locations specified in Section 2 of such resolution, on the terms of Resolution No. 5641/2017.

TMA cannot predict if, in the future, certain draft legislation or new regulatory proposals will become law or become a part of the regulatory framework governing its operations. These potential changes could have varying impacts on the current conditions and framework of the Company's operations.

The Company's financial statements consider the current and anticipated regulatory effects of regulations issued as of the date of issuance thereof, and the effect of any new regulations that may be implemented will be considered once they are published in their final form and become a part of the regulatory framework applicable to TMA's business.

On May 15, 2023, through Resolution No. 682/2023, the ENACOM approved the Regulations for the Administration, Management and Control of the Radio Spectrum, which establishes the principles, provisions, criteria and procedures that will govern radio spectrum planning, management and control for radiocommunication services and systems, in accordance with Law 27,078, as amended.

*Universal Service*

As part of the transition to competition in telecommunications, the National Executive Branch (PEN) issued Decree No. 764/00, approving, among other things, the Universal Service Regulations. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, TASA, a company now merged with TMA, has submitted monthly affidavits to the ENACOM for the periods from July 2007 to December 2024, estimating the sums corresponding to the aforementioned initial programs, which would result in a receivable from the Fiduciary Fund for such period of approximately 50,162 million pesos. This amount reflects the estimated excess amount that the Company has incurred for the provision of Universal Service programs during such period. The enforcement authority has not yet set the valuation or approval standards for some of these programs. The Company will record this receivable when collected.

On December 9, 2008, Resolution S.C. No. 405/08 was issued, setting forth that until the implementation of the Universal Service Fiduciary Fund, telecommunications service providers should deposit in the accounts opened under the terms of Section 1 of Resolution S.C. No. 80/07, an investment contribution equivalent to 1% of the total revenues arising from the provision of the telecommunications services, net of all applicable taxes and fees, without deducting any amounts that may eventually correspond in connection with the performance of Universal Service programs determined by the Regulatory Authority, on the terms of the provisions of Section 2 of Decree No. 558/08 Section Article 6 of the Universal Service Regulations approved by such Decree. The amounts were to be deposited by the relevant due date of the month following the issuance of the Resolution. The obligation was retroactive to the effective date of Decree No. 558/08. Finally, the amounts that telecommunications service providers may eventually be entitled to receive for performing Universal Service programs, whatever their nature, accrued as from the effective date of Decree No. 558/08, would be paid out of the sums deposited in the Universal Service Fiduciary Fund. TASA complied with the monthly obligation until April 2009, including the filing of affidavits to the CNC and has monthly deposited the corresponding amounts on such account in a savings account with Banco de la Nación Argentina, as described above. At the closing of these financial statements, the balance of such savings account is 2,803,185 pesos.

At the closing of these financial statements, except for the previously mentioned balances, TMA has no balances in the accounts opened on the terms of Section 1 of Resolution S.C. No. 80/07. However, TMA and its legal counsel believe that this situation cannot be considered a non-compliance that could have a significant adverse impact on TMA's results of operations or financial condition.

It should be considered that Decree No. 558/08 does not provide interpretations contrary to the right of service providers to offset any contribution owed against the sums allocated to the provision of Universal Service programs. On the other hand, Resolution No. 405/08 of the S.C. provides that the deposit must be made without deducting any amounts corresponding to the performance of Universal Service programs. TMA's legal advisors believe that this last Resolution is illegitimate and arbitrary; in this regard, the Company has proceeded to challenge it before the S.C.

On January 16, 2009, Resolution No. 7/09 of the S.C. was published in the Official Gazette, which approved the specimen trust agreement implementing the Universal Service Fiduciary Fund, designating Banco Itaú Buen Ayre S.A. as the administrator of such fund. TASA challenged Section 2 of this Resolution before the S.C. because it repeated the provisions of Resolution S.C. No. 405/08, which required making the relevant deposits without deducting amounts corresponding to Universal Service programs.

On April 11, 2011, TASA was notified of Resolution No. 43/11 of the S.C., which set forth that the services claimed by TASA relating to High-Cost Areas did not constitute an Initial Indicative Universal Service Program, or local voice services that could be subsidized, nor another act involving a Universal Service under the terms of Section 2 of Decree No. 558/08. Subsequently, TASA was notified of new resolutions from the S.C. denying the status of Initial Indicative Universal Service Programs to the services provided by TASA, namely: (1) Resolutions No. 53/12 and 54/12, which stated that the services corresponding to (i) Information Service 110 and (ii) Discounts for Retirees, Pensioners, and Family Houses do not constitute Initial Indicative Universal Service Programs under Section 26, Exhibit III of Decree No. 764/00, nor services involving a Universal Service under Section 2 of Decree No. 558/08, respectively; (2) Resolutions No. 59/12, 60/12, and 61/12, setting forth that the services corresponding to (i) Social Public Telephony and Deficient Public Telephony, (ii) Services and Discounts to Public Institutions, and (iii) Services for Hard of Hearing People and Attention of Hard of Hearing Customers, do not constitute Initial Indicative Universal Service Programs under Article 26, Exhibit III of Decree No. 764/00, nor services involving a Universal Service under Article 2 of Decree No. 558/08, respectively; and (3) Resolutions No. 69/12 and 70/12, setting forth that the services corresponding to (i) Discounted Rates for Services with Numbering 0611 and 0612 and (ii) Discounts for Semi-Public Long-Distance Services, do not constitute Initial Indicative Universal Service Programs under Article 26, Exhibit III of Decree No. 764/00, nor services involving a Universal Service under Article 2 of Decree No. 558/08, respectively. In the opinion of TASA's legal counsel, the above listed resolutions are contrary to higher-ranking regulations, mainly Decrees No. 764/00 and 558/08 and the Universal Service Regulations approved by them. Therefore, the legal opinion given to TASA is that these Resolutions are illegitimate and arbitrary, and that same may be challenged through the appropriate legal channels, as provided by Law 19,549 on Administrative Procedures, given that TASA has strong arguments to support such challenges and to obtain a final decision on the substance of the matter, in the sense that the programs reported by TASA constitute Initial Indicative Programs. In this regard, TASA has administratively appealed each of these Resolutions. These reconsideration appeals were rejected by the ENACOM - in its capacity as the successor to the former Secretariat of Communications - and the records were submitted to the higher authorities for resolution of the appeals filed in the alternative. These services represent the total of the credit indicated in the affidavits submitted to the CNC (now ENACOM), as mentioned above.

It should be considered that Argentina's Digital Law specifically introduces new provisions relating to the Universal Service and the Universal Service Fiduciary Fund in Title IV, Chapters I and II. On May 31, 2016, ENACOM Resolution No. 2,642/16 was published in the Official Gazette, which issued new Universal Service Regulations, replacing the regulations approved by Decree No. 558/08. The new Regulations set forth that the ENACOM will review Universal Service programs and the procedure for their allocation, but does not refer to the existing programs at the time of its issuance.

On July 3, 2020, the ENACOM issued Resolution No. 721/2020, replacing the Universal Service Regulations approved by ENACOM Resolution No. 2642/2016 by new regulations approved as an exhibit thereto.

Although the new Universal Service Regulations replace the regulations approved by Decree No. 558/08, the Decree remains in force regarding the obligation of the Regulatory Authority to determine, in connection to the obligations arising from Decree No. 764/00, those that have been fulfilled and their amounts, as well as those that have not yet been fulfilled, as well as the obligation to determine which services that differ from those established by Decree No. 764/00, provided by the licensees, are Universal Service programs and, consequently, must be recognized and continue to be performed.

*Prices and Rates*

Decree No. 764/00 on the deregulation of telecommunications services set forth that service providers may freely set the rates and/or prices of the services provided for objective customer categories, which must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. However, in the absence of effective competition, historical providers abide by the maximum rates established in the General Tariff Structure. Providers may freely set their rates below the values indicated in the General Tariff Structure. To determine the existence of effective competition, interested historical providers must prove to the Regulatory Authority that one or more other providers of the same service have reached 20% of the total revenues of such service in the local area of the basic voice service in question. Additionally, in the case of national and international long-distance services, it can be considered that there is effective competition if the provider can be selected by dialing among more than two providers offering more than one destination.

For areas and services where effective competition has not been established, rate agreements have established that the maximum pulse rate be expressed in U.S. dollars, also granting TASA, a company now merged with TMA, the right to adjust it on April 1 and October 1 of each year based on the variation of the CPI of the United States of America. However, Public Emergency and Exchange Regime Reform Law No. 25.561, dated January 6, 2002, set forth that in contracts entered into by public administrations under public law regulations, including public service contracts, all indexation clauses based on foreign price indexes and any other indexation mechanisms would become void. This law also stipulated that the prices and rates resulting from such clauses be set in pesos at the exchange rate of one peso per U.S. dollar ($1 = US$1). Furthermore, it authorized the Executive Branch to renegotiate the aforementioned contracts, taking public services into account. This law has been subject to successive extensions since its enactment.

On February 15, 2006, TASA and the National Government subscribed a memorandum of understanding ("2006 Memorandum of Understanding"), whereby the parties committed to comply with and maintain the legal conditions set forth in the Transfer Agreement and the regulations in force as of that date. Thirty days after the Public Hearing to discuss the 2006 Memorandum of Understanding, which was held on April 28, 2006, both TASA and its shareholders had to suspend, for a period of 210 business days, all claims, appeals and complaints filed or pending, whether of an administrative, arbitrat or judicial nature, both in the country or abroad, that were based on or related to the emergency events or measures provided for in Law No. 25.561 concerning the Transfer Agreement and TASA's license. Accordingly, TASA and its shareholders timely submitted the suspension requests referred to in the 2006 Memorandum of Understanding, followed by successive extensions, the last of which expired on April 6, 2009. Upon its expiration, TASA, its shareholders and the Argentine Government expressed their intention to negotiate the terms of the next steps to be taken. In this regard, TSA and the Argentine Government by mutual consent requested the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes ("ICSID") Tribunal to conclude the arbitration proceeding initiated by TSA, which the Tribunal did on September 24, 2009. The conclusion of the arbitration proceeding does not amount to TSA or the Argentine Government's waiving any of their rights.

In the 2006 Memorandum of Understanding, it was stated that, in order to ensure the necessary predictability in the telecommunications sector and considering the expertise and experience provided by sector companies, the Executive Branch committed to use its best efforts to consolidate an adequate and homogeneous regulatory framework that, based on the legal and technical aspects that constitute the industry's pillars, complements and strengthens the applicable regulations.

Within this framework, and following the enactment of the Argentina's Digital Law (as amended and regulated), which introduced changes to the pricing and tariff regime, TASA proceeded to adjust the subscription fees for basic voice services starting in 2016.

In addition, regarding prices and rates, Resolution No. 286/2018 approved new General Interconnection and Access Regulations, which, among other things, put an end to the regime set forth by Resolutions No. 157/1997 and 263/1997 of the former Secretariat of Communications, i.e. the "Calling Party Pays" (CPP) or "Mobile Party Pays" (MPP) modalities under which mobile service providers offered their services. In turn, TASA established a specific charge for calls originating from the basic telephone service to the mobile communications service.

During the years 2020 and 2021, the Executive Branch issued several Emergency Decrees (DNU) that had an impact on the Company.

In this regard, on March 25, 2020, Decree No. 311/2020 was published, setting forth that providers of fixed or mobile telephony, internet, and cable television, whether by radio or satellite link, could not suspend or cut off services to economically vulnerable customers in case of late or non-payment of up to three invoices, later extended to seven. It also set forth the obligation to provide a reduced service for that group of customers and a prepaid service with free features. Additionally, it required providers to offer payment facility plans and not to charge late payment interest.

On February 27, 2021, the ENACOM, by means of Resolution 221/2021, established a new sanctioning regime under which cases initiated after its effective date would be subject to it. This regime sets fines significantly higher than those of the previous system. The Company will challenge this regime in court based on the concepts of process of cognizance and precautionary measure, if sanctioned under the new provisions.

Regarding pricing, on August 22, 2020, the Executive Branch issued Emergency Decree No. 690/2020, amending Section 48 of Argentina's Digital Law and incorporating provisions setting forth that the prices of essential and strategic ICT public services in competition, those provided under the Universal Service, and those determined by the enforcement authority for public interest reasons would be regulated by such law.

It should be noted that Emergency Decree No. 690/2020 also reinstated Section 15 of Argentina's Digital Law, which had been removed by Emergency Decree No. 267/2020, stating that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Services and the access to telecommunications networks for and among ICT service licensees qualify as essential and strategic public services in competition. The enforcement authority shall ensure their effective availability. Section 54 also classified mobile telephony services as a public services, determining that the prices thereof will be regulated by the enforcement authority.

Additionally, Section 4 of DNU 690/2020 suspended any increase or modification in the prices set or announced on or after July 31, 2020 and until December 31, 2020.

Finally, on December 21, 2020, the ENACOM issued Resolution No. 1,466/20, authorizing a price increase for retail customers of up to five percent in January 2021. Subsequently, Resolution No. 203/2021 authorized an increase of 7.5% in February 2021 and up to 2.5% as from March 1 for Mobile Communications Service (SCM) licensees, while Resolution No. 204/2021 allowed Fixed Telephony Service (STF) licensees to increase their retail prices by up to 5% in March 2021. All price increases or adjustments made to date have been duly and timely notified to the ENACOM.

All these measures have had, and are expected to continue having, negative impacts on TASA, for which several administrative and legal actions have been brought.

On March 10, 2021, Federal Court No. 1 of Córdoba granted the preliminary injunction requested by CATRIE TELEVISORA COLOR S.R.L. in the case "CATRIE TELEVISORA COLOR S.R.L. v. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AND OTHER on DECLARATORY ACTION OF UNCONSTITUTIONALITY," ordering that "the requested preliminary injunction be granted, meaning the suspension of the application and enforcement of Emergency Decree No. 690/2020, as well as all measures adopted as a result or on the basis thereof, requiring the Executive Branch and the ENACOM to abstain from issuing or pursuing any subsequent measures based on such decree, until a final court decision is rendered." The Argentine Cable Television Association (ATVC) requested joint litigation and the extension of the preliminary injunction issued in favor of CATRIE TELEVISORA COLOR S.R.L. to all licensees of ICT services collectively represented by ATVC, which was granted on March 30, 2021.

TMA and TASA started a judicial nullity process against Emergency Decree No. 690/2020, which was filed with Federal Court on Administrative Litigation Matters No. 5 and entitled "TELEFONICA MOVILES ARGENTINA SA AND OTHER v. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AND OTHER on COGNIZANCE PROCESS," also requesting the issuance of a preliminary injunction ordering the immediate suspension of its effects.

On September 7, 2021, the first-instance judge denied the preliminary injunction, for reasons such as the failure to prove the verisimilitude of the right claimed with the degree of evidence required for the requested relief or that the unconstitutionality challenge of Law 26,122 (Legal Regime of Emergency Decrees) exceeded the scope of a precautionary measure. This ruling was subsequently appealed by the plaintiffs.

On December 17, 2021, Chamber I of the National Court of Appeals overturned the first-instance ruling, granted the requested preliminary injunction, and accordingly, ordered the suspension of the effects of Sections 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 of Emergency Decree No. 690/2020 and ENACOM Resolutions 1466/2020, 203/2021 and 204/2021 for six months or until a final ruling was issued, whichever occurred first. This measure was extended. On December 27, 2022, Federal Court on Administrative Litigation Matters No. 5 once again extended the preliminary injunction of the effects of Emergency Decree No. 690/2020 in favor of TASA for another six months. Finally, on August 2, 2023, the preliminary injunction was extended for an additional six months, and a further extension request is currently pending resolution by the court.

**Remuneration of Directors, Executive Committee and Other Key Employees**

TMA has considered the members of the Company's Board of Directors and Executive Committee as key personnel. It should be noted that, under the Argentine legislation, an individualized disclosure of the compensation of the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee is not required, and the Company does not publicly disclose this information.

**a) Remuneration of Directors**

Shareholders determine the compensation of the Board of Directors annually at the Shareholders' Meeting. Those Board members who are not employees of the Company receive a compensation for their responsibilities. However, Board members who are employees of the Company receive a compensation for the roles they perform therein.

In 2024 and 2023, the aggregate compensation paid in the form of attendance fees, salaries and bonuses to both non-employee Board members and TMA's employees amounted to 1,782,094,308 and 4,632,910,858, respectively.

**b) Remuneration of the Executive Committee**

The total compensation and benefits accrued in 2024 and 2023 for Executive Committee members who are not members of the Board of Directors amounted to 3,294,308,021 and 3,066,722,583, respectively. These amounts include the annual salary and a performance bonus.

The criteria for granting and paying the performance bonus vary depending on the activities carried out by different areas. Consequently, the payment of bonuses may differ based on the department and the specific activities performed by each member.

**c) Stock Compensation Plans**

TMA has participated in various compensation plans implemented by Telefónica. These plans are implemented by granting a certain number of Telefónica shares, based on the degree of achievement of the commercial and institutional goals set for the Telefónica Group.

The total expense accrued in 2024 for the outstanding shares granted to the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee amounted to 2,858 million pesos.

**20.**  **<u>Legal Provisions</u>** 

**a)** **Officially Sealed Books** 

TMA has recorded its operations in the general journal using an accounting registration system through optical media, authorized by the IGJ under No. 7,251 on November 7, 2011, which at that time was the regulatory entity of corporations.

The Company uses various commercial systems in the process of issuing invoices to customers, with the information subsequently being recorded in the sales subledger.

Due to delays in the book legalization process, the details of sales from January to April 2024 are based on the accounting records transcribed into officially sealed books dated after the recorded transactions.

**b) Treasury Shares**

As a result of the merger described in Notes 2 and 22 of these Financial Statements, and due to the share exchange ratio resulting from the such merger, on May 2, 2024, the Company's Shareholders' Meeting resolved to capitalize the comprehensive capital adjustment account as a result of the capital increase derived from the merger with Telefónica de Argentina. Accordingly, the number of treasury book-entry ordinary shares increased from 92 to 261 shares, of $1 nominal amount each.

**c)** **Information required by Section 64, sub-section I, paragraph b) of Law No. 19,550** 

Below there is a breakdown of the item Other expenses for fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

**21.**  **<u>Economic Context</u>** 

The Company operates in a complex economic environment, where key variables have experienced strong volatility, both nationally and internationally.

Regarding the international context, the global economy is expanding in an environment marked by heterogeneous patterns and cyclical discrepancies. The United States and China are leading global expansion, while Europe, the other advanced economies, and emerging markets have shown mixed performances. In Latin America, most economies have recovered, though still below their potential.

Global inflation has declined, albeit unevenly across different economies and regions. At the same time, central banks have begun easing their monetary policies. Despite progress, and with few exceptions, inflation has not yet converged to its trend levels and, in this context, the restrictive bias of monetary policies is expected to persist for some time. Fiscal consolidation remains a challenge for most economies, as public debt has increased due to COVID-19, and higher interest rates threaten its sustainability unless governments succeed in balancing their public finances. In this framework, long-term interest rates have remained high. Additionally, constant geopolitical tension, the U.S. presidential elections, and other specific situations have injected volatility into financial markets.

Regarding the local context, the monthly economic activity index recorded an average decline of 2.7% in 2024, mainly due to contractions in the industrial, trade and construction sectors stemming from the reconciliation of relative prices and a strong fiscal adjustment that has interrupted public infrastructure spending. However, the agricultural sector has mitigated the GDP decline, showing solid growth following the drought of 2023.

The main indicators in our country are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The unemployment rate increased to 6.9% in September 2024
(latest data) vs. 5.7% in September 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The accumulated inflation for 2024 reached 117.8%
(CPI).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Between January 1 and December 31,
2024, the peso depreciated by 27.7% against the U.S. dollar, according to the reference exchange rate of the Central Bank of the Republic
of Argentina.

Regarding the last point, the monetary authority has gradually eased certain regulations for access to the foreign exchange market, although other restrictions remain in place. These measures, aimed at containing volatility in the financial market, require prior authorization from the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina for certain transactions. Foreign currency assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2024 have been valued based on the prevailing exchange rates in the official foreign exchange market (MULC).

The environment of volatility and uncertainty continues as of the issue date of these financial statements. The Company's Management continuously monitors the evolution of variables affecting its business to define its course of action and identify potential impacts on its financial condition. The Company's financial statements should be read in light of these circumstances.

**22.**  **<u>Corporate Reorganization of TASA and TMA</u>** 

On March 29, 2023, the Boards of Directors of TASA and TMA approved a preliminary merger agreement, under which TMA agreed to absorb TASA in accordance with Section 82 and related sections of the General Companies Law ("GCL"). The transaction was carried out under the corporate reorganization contemplated in Sections 80 and 81 and related sections of Income Tax Law No. 20,268 and Sections 172 to 176 of the regulatory decree of such Law.

The Extraordinary General Meetings of TASA and TMA, held on April 17, 2023, approved the Corporate Reorganization, along with the financial statements of their respective companies as of December 31, 2022, the Consolidated Special Merger Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022, and the corresponding preliminary merger agreement entered into on March 29, 2023, including the share exchange ratio contemplated therein.

Additionally, and as a result of the reorganization process, the above referred Extraordinary General Meeting of Telefónica Móviles Argentina S.A. approved a capital increase through the issuance of shares of $1 nominal amount each and entitled to one vote per share, totaling 1,450,022,273 shares, which were delivered to the shareholder TLH HoldCo in exchange for the shares it held in TASA.

On December 29, 2023, the Boards of Directors of TASA and TMA resolved that, as all the conditions set forth in the Preliminary Merger Agreement and the Final Merger Agreement had been met, the effective date of the Merger was January 1, 2024, and all rights, human resources, and obligations of the absorbed company were transferred on that date.

As of the effective date of the merger, TMA continued TASA's activities, generating the corresponding operating, accounting and tax effects. On that date, TMA, as the absorbing and continuing company, incorporated all assets and liabilities, including registered properties, rights and obligations previously belonging to TASA as the absorbed company, and the transfer of all human resources was completed.

As a result of the merger, the absorbed company was early dissolved without liquidation, and its shares were canceled.

Finally, on January 23, 2024, the merger was submitted to the IGJ for registration, and on March 4, 2024, the merger was officially registered.

There follows a breakdown of TASA's balances by item, net of eliminations, incorporated as of January 1, 2024 (the effective date of the merger):

**23.**  **<u>Subsequent Events</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) Corporate Matters

On February 24, 2025 ("acquisition date"), Telecom Argentina S.A. acquired 86,460,989,849 ordinary shares of TMA, representing 99.999625% of its capital stock (the "Transaction"), resulting in the transfer of those shares from TLH Holdco S.L.U. to Telecom Argentina S.A., thereby making Telecom Argentina S.A. the controlling entity of TMA since that date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) Regulatory Matters

Since the Transaction is framed within the provisions of paragraph c) of Article 7 of Law 27.442, on March 3, 2025, the corresponding authorization process was initiated before the National Commission for the Defense of Competition so that the Secretary of Industry and Commerce grants its approval for the economic concentration resulting from the Transaction. Additionally, on March 7, 2025, a request for approval of the change of control that occurred in TMA as a result of the Transaction was submitted to the National Communications Agency (ENACOM). Both submissions were madein accordance with the applicable regulatory framework. As of the date of issuance of these Financial Statements, both requests are pending resolution.

Furthermore, on March 25, 2025, TMA was notified of Resolution No. 63/2025 issued by the Secretary of Industry and Commerce, which provisionally orders Telecom Argentina S.A. to refrain from carrying out any legal, corporate, and/or commercial acts that directly or indirectly involve the integration or consolidation with TMA for a period of 6 months or until the Authority issues a decision regarding the granting, subordination of the acquisition to the fulfillment of conditions, or denial of the authorization of the transaction under the terms of Article 14 of Law 27.442, whichever occurs first. This includes any initiative to unify or integrate the teams that form TMA with Telecom Argentina S.A., as well as any exchange of competitively sensitive information with TMA, while both parties must continue to respect the agreements for reciprocal use of infrastructure that TMA and Telecom Argentina S.A. may have signed.

Telecom Argentina S.A. appealed the aforementioned Resolution and the note from the Secretary of Industry and Commerce dated March 27, 2025, which appointed a monitoring agent. On June 5, 2025, Telecom Argentina S.A. was notified of the decision of the Chamber III of the Federal Court of Appeals on Civil and Commercial Matters, which resolved to grant the Telecom Argentina S.A.'s appeal, thereby suspending the effects of the resolution and the note respectively issued by the Secretary of Industry and Commerce on March 21 and March 27, 2025, and further ordering the Secretary of Industry and Commerce to refrain from taking any measure contrary to such suspension.

On the other hand, on June 6, 2025, ENACOM forwarded to TMA the opinions from various internal areas that conducted a preliminary analysis prior to the requested authorization. In a timely manner, TMA responded to the referral with the corresponding defenses. As of the date of issuing these Financial Statements no final resolution regarding the transaction has been issued by the regulators.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) Tax Matters

According to tax legislation in force, tax benefits arising from a corporate reorganization are revoked if the shares of the absorbing company are transferred to another party within a period of two years subsequent to the reorganization. The transaction represents the transfer of the shares of TMA to Telecom Argentina S.A. and occurred before the second anniversary of the reorganization, thus reversing all benefits previously granted. As a result of the reversal of the benefits, TMA settled tax liabilities in the range of$80,000 million, increased tax deferred assets of $155,000 million and filed the relevant tax returns with tax authorities.

**Report of Independent Auditors**

To the Board of Directors of Telefónica Móviles Argentina Sociedad Anónima

***Opinion***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Telefónica Móviles Argentina Sociedad Anónima and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

***Basis for Opinion***

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

***Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements***

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

***Auditors*** ***' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements***

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
 whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining,
 on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly,
no such opinion is expressed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management,
as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.
