Re.: Relevant Event.

 

 

Please be advised that on the date hereof BANCO MACRO S.A. has been given notice of a class action filed against it and entitled “Asociación de Defensa de Derechos de Usuarios y Consumidores (ADDUC) vs. Banco Macro S.A. on proceedings pending classification” (Court File. No. MP-16648/2023).

 

Plaintiff challenges the fee charged for “stop payment” on checks drawn by consumers and requests Banco Macro S.A. to stop collecting such fee and to reimburse each affected customer all the amounts received by Banco Macro S.A. as “stop payment” fee plus interest and punitive damages.

 

The complaint is pending before the Court in Civil and Commercial Matters No. 9 of Mar del Plata.

 

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 assets.

 

Sincerely,
