the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or the document listed in Schedule I hereto (except to the extent expressly set forth in numbered paragraph 4 of our opinion letter to you of even date herewith), and we make no representation that we have independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements (except as aforesaid). We also are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for ascertaining whether or when any of the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or the document listed in Schedule I hereto was conveyed to any person for purposes of Rule 159 under the Securities Act. We note that certain portions of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and the Final Prospectus have been included therein on the authority of officials of the Republic, and that we are not experts within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any portion of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, including, without limitation, the financial, accounting or statistical data included therein.
However, in the course of our acting as special New York counsel to the Republic in connection with its preparation of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus (but excluding the documents incorporated by reference in each of them), and the document listed in Schedule I hereto, we participated in telephone conversations with officials of the Republic, your representatives and representatives of your New York and Uruguayan counsel, during which telephone conversations the contents of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and the document listed in Schedule I hereto and related matters were discussed, and we reviewed the documents incorporated by reference in each of the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and certain documents furnished to us by the Republic.
Based on our participation in such telephone conversations and our review of such documents as described above, our understanding of the U.S. federal securities laws and the experience we have gained in our practice thereunder, we advise you that:
(a) The Registration Statement (except the financial and accounting data included therein and the statistical data included in the sourcebook prepared in connection with the offering, as to which we express no view) as of June [●], 2020, the date on which the most recent Form 18-K/A was filed as an amendment thereto, and the Final Prospectus (except as aforesaid), as of the date thereof, appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder.
(b) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Registration Statement (except the financial and accounting data included therein, the statistical data included in the sourcebook prepared in connection with the offering, and Exhibit 99.C to the Annual Report, as to which we express no view), as of June [●], 2020, the date on which the most recent Form 18-K/A was filed as an amendment thereto, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(c) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Pricing Prospectus, considered together with the amount and the price to the public of the Securities on the front cover of the Final Prospectus Supplement and the document listed in Schedule I hereto (except the financial and accounting data included therein, the statistical data included in the sourcebook prepared in connection with the offering, and Exhibit 99.C to the Annual Report, as to which we express no view), as of [●]:[●] [a.m.]/[p.m.] New York time on June [●], 2020, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(d) No information has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Final Prospectus (except the financial and accounting data included therein, the statistical data included in the sourcebook prepared in connection with the offering, and Exhibit 99.C to the Annual Report, as to which we express no view), as of the date thereof or hereof, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
