Class action

 

Dear Sirs:

 

On behalf of Empresa Distribuidora y Comercializadora Norte S.A. (indistinctly, “EDENOR” or the “Company”) in compliance with the applicable regulations, i hereby inform you that the Company has been notified of a class action lawsuit entitled "Defensoría del Pueblo CABA y otros contra Edesur S. A. y otros sobre relación consumo" (Expte. N° 30815/2023) which has been filed before the Secretariat of Consumer Affairs No. 3 of the Contentious-Administrative Court of the City of Buenos Aires.

                  The Ombudsman requested the implementation of effective information channels with users and the imposition of fines to the distribution companies for punitive damages due to the alleged lack of fulfillment of the users' information rights.

                   In accordance with the above mentioned, and regarding  the precautionary measure requested, the creation of a working group between the parties involved in the case and the summoning of hearings was ordered.

                  The Company is analysing its terms and defense together with its legal advisors, considering that it is unlikely that a resolution would be unfavorable to it.

Yours faithfully,

 

María José Van Morlegan

Attorney in fact
