Securities and Exchange Commission.              Relevant Information: 2017 Income Tax Affidavit           As of the date hereof, the Board of Directors resolved to submit its Affidavit of Income Tax and to pay the corresponding 2017 tax to the Federal Administration of Public Revenue, adjusted by inflation under the terms prescribed by Law 20,628 and its amendments.           In view of the fact that the inflation adjustment provided for in Law 20,628 is currently suspended by Section 39 of Law 24,073, Section 4 of Law 25,561, Section 5 of decree 214 of 2002 and its amendments, a judicial action denominated declarative action of certainty will be filed with the competent authorities, requesting for the inapplicability of said rules based on the confiscatory effect that it has in the present case.           Furthermore, it is hereby informed that upon request of the Central Bank of the Argentina Republic in its Memorandum dated May 29, 2017, in relation to the Income Tax Affidavit corresponding to the fiscal year 2016, BBVA Frances has created a provision for the total amount of AR$ 1,021,518,388 to cover the possible contingency arising from the decision taken by the Bank concerning the Income Tax for the fiscal year 2017.       BBVA BANCO FRANCES S.A.
