to purchase your allocation of New Bonds in respect of your related
indication of interest and/or (iii) in the delivery of a buy-in
notice for the purchase of such Old Bonds, executed in accordance

securities. Any holder whose tender is cancelled will not receive
the purchase price or accrued interest.
All Old Bonds that are tendered pursuant to tender orders placed
through a Dealer Manager and are accepted as instructed by Uruguay
will be purchased by the Billing and Delivering Bank in such
amounts as Uruguay shall determine and subject to the terms and
conditions of the Offer to Purchase. Only the Billing and
Delivering Bank will be liable for the payment of the purchase
price and accrued interest for Old Bonds validly tendered and

circumstances for the payment of the purchase price and accrued
interest for any Old Bonds tendered in the Tender Offer by any

accepted for purchase that the Billing and Delivery Bank has
actually purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer on the Settlement
Date. Tender orders that are not for permitted tender amounts have
not been accepted.
Subject to the conditions to settlement of the Tender Offer, Old
Bonds accepted for purchase will be settled on a delivery versus
payment basis solely with the Billing and Delivering Bank on the
Settlement Date, in accordance with customary brokerage practices
for corporate fixed income securities.

Important Notice
This announcement is not an offer to purchase or a solicitation
of an offer to sell the Old Bonds. The Tender Offer will be made
only by and pursuant to the terms of the Offer to Purchase, as may
be amended or supplemented from time to time.
The distribution of materials relating to the New Bonds
Offerings and the Tender Offer, and the transactions contemplated
by the New Bonds Offerings and Tender Offer, may be restricted by
law in certain jurisdictions. Each of the New Bonds Offerings and
the Tender Offer is made only in those jurisdictions where it is
legal to do so. The New Bonds Offerings and the Tender Offer are
void in all jurisdictions where they are prohibited. If materials
relating to the New Bonds Offerings or the Tender Offer come into
your possession, you are required to inform yourself of and to
observe all of these restrictions. The materials relating to the
New Bonds Offerings and the Tender Offer do not constitute, and may
not be used in connection with, an offer or solicitation in any
place where offers or solicitations are not permitted by law. If a
jurisdiction requires that the New Bonds Offerings or the Tender
Offer be made by a licensed broker or dealer and a Dealer Manager
or any affiliate of a Dealer Manager is a licensed broker or dealer
in that jurisdiction, the New Bonds Offerings or the Tender Offer,
as the case may be, shall be deemed to be made by the Dealer
Manager or such affiliate in that jurisdiction. Owners who may
lawfully participate in the Tender Offer in accordance with the
terms thereof are referred to as "holders."
Stabilization/FCA
No securities are 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 any Member State of 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"); (ii) a customer within the
meaning of Directive (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, "IMD"), 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 Article 2 of the Prospectus Regulation.
Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation
(EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or selling any securities or otherwise making them
available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and
therefore any offering or selling of any securities or otherwise
making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be
unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
No securities are 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 (the "UK").
For these purposes, (a) 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 UK
domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018
("EUWA"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions
of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA") and any
rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance
Distribution Directive, 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 UK domestic law by
virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in
Article 2 of the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of UK
domestic law by virtue of the EUWA, and (b) the expression "offer"
includes the communication in any form and by any means of
sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the securities
to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or
subscribe for the securities. Consequently, no key information
document required by the PRIIPs Regulation, as it forms part of UK
domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation"),
for offering or selling securities or otherwise making them
available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and
therefore any offering or selling of securities or otherwise making
them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful
under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
The expression "Prospectus Regulation" means Regulation (EU)
2017/1129 (as amended or superseded).
