Re.: Relevant Event

 

Please be advised that on the date hereof Banco Macro S.A. has been served notice of a class action suit entitled “Asociación por la Defensa de Usuarios y Consumidores (ADUC) vs. Banco Macro SA on Summary Proceedings” (Court File # 7950/2016).

 

The plaintiff challenges the fees charged on saving and checking accounts individually or as part of a banking package and asks for the immediate cessation of this behavior and seeks for the reimbursement of the amounts charged as fees on saving and checking accounts plus accrued interest to all affected clients.

 

The lawsuit is pending before the Court of First Instance in Commercial Matters # 1, Clerks’ Office # 1.

 

Banco Macro S.A. considers there is a low probability that it gets an unfavorable decision in this dispute, and even if that is the case, it shall not have a significant impact in its financial position.

 

Sincerely,
