Re.Relevant Event

 

Please be advised that on the date hereof BANCO MACRO S.A. has been given notice of a class action entitled “Asociación Protección Consumidores del Mercado del Sur – Proconsumer (ADUC) vs. Banco Macro S.A. on/Summary Proceedings” (Court File No. 20937).

 

In the complaint plaintiff questions an amount charged by the Bank as “ATM Insurance” or “ATM Protection” to its customers, whether or not they have previously consented, adhered or accepted in writing the purchase of such insurance or protection. Based on the above, plaintiff requests the Bank to stop debiting such insurance, as well as to eliminate the same from the Bank’s web site and also any other advertising by the Bank in that connection; plaintiff in addition claims the reimbursement of all amounts debited as “ATM Insurance” plus interests and punitive damages.

 

The complaint is pending before the National Court of First Instance in Civil and Commercial Matters No. 7, Clerk’s Office No. 7 of the City of Paraná, Province of Entre Rios.

 

Banco Macro S.A. deems there is low probability of getting an unfavorable court decision in this dispute, and even if that were the case, such unfavorable decision would not have a material impact on its equity.
