RE: “ADACU Asociación Civil” vs/ Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. and Others on/ Damages” File. 11493/2019, Federal Civil and Commercial Trial Court Number 4, Secretariat No 7, Autonomous City of Buenos Aires”.

 

With due consideration:

 

We hereby address you in our capacity as proxies in order to inform that Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. (hereinafter “BBVA”) has been notified of a class action, filed by Asociación de Defensa del Asegurado, Consumidores y Usuarios Asociación Civil, (ADACU).

 

The Association, alleging the representation of consumers, demands the payment of compensation for material damage and punitive damage to all customers who owned a VISA card issued by any of the co-defendant banks, resulting from alleged unlawful collusion between Prismaʼs shareholders, in the setting of prices in the discount and exchange rate for the use of the aforementioned credit card.

 

It is important to remark that this action is informed even though it is materially impossible to determine to date, whether the claim has a significant economic importance, since such claim is brought for an indeterminate amount, materially impossible to be determined with certainty today.

 

The Bank is analyzing the content of the lawsuit and defining the course of action, thus considering that even in the hypothetical case of an adverse decision regarding this dispute, such circumstance will not have a significant impact on its assets and activities.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

BANCO BBVA ARGENTINA S.A.
