None of the Company, the Dealer Managers, the Argentine Information
Agents or the Information and Tender Agent make any recommendations as to whether holders should tender their Notes pursuant to the Offer,
and no one has been authorized by any of them to make such recommendations. Holders must make their own decisions as to whether to tender
their Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.
This press release is for informational purposes only and is not a
recommendation and is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security. The Offer is being made solely pursuant
to the offer documents.
The Offer does not constitute, and may not be used in connection with,
an offer or solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not permitted by law or in which the person
making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation.
In any jurisdiction where the securities, blue sky or other laws require
tender offers to be made by a licensed broker or dealer and in which the dealer managers, or any affiliates thereof, are so licensed,
the Offer will be deemed to have been made by any such dealer managers, or such affiliates, on behalf of the Company.
The New Notes offered pursuant to the concurrent offering have not been
and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered
or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The New Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made
available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article
4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as
amended, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined
in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the
“Prospectus Regulation”). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended,
the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in
the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in
the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
The New Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made
available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom. For these purposes,
a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU)
No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the “EUWA”);
or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the “FSMA”)
and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional
client as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom by
virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic
law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA (as amended, the “UK Prospectus Regulation”). Consequently no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law in the United Kingdom by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK
PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the United Kingdom
has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the New Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the United
Kingdom may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
