Physical deposits and withdrawals of legacy bonds of the Republic of Argentina

Clearstream Banking AG¹ informs customers that effective

immediately

for physical deposits regarding the issues listed below, it should be noted that the securities in question have to be accompanied by a current certification of presentation bearing a legally binding signature of the corresponding responsible paying agent in accordance with Section 801 of the German Civil Code (BGB) or by a certification from CBF referring to the overall and original certification of presentation from the principal paying agent. Otherwise a credit into collective safe custody (CSC) by CBF can no longer be issued in future and consequently the instruction will be returned to the sender.

With regard to the deposit of physical securities, we refer to our previous announcements on the corresponding requirements and general conditions to be fulfilled.

Whereby for the deposit, the following deadlines apply for timely presentation:

The stated deadlines apply if alternative evidence is offered through proof of the timely submission of a claim.

Note: CBF draws your attention to the fact that we might under certain circumstances request that additional proof be furnished where securities are delivered subsequently. We therefore reserve the right to reject individual deposits if this serves to maintain the integrity of the relevant collective holdings, or if it considers it necessary for organisational reasons.
