INDEX
Translation of a submission from Banco Macro to the CNV dated on October 4, 2022.
City of Buenos Aires, October 4th 2022.
To:
Comisión Nacional de Valores (Argentine Securities Exchange Commission)
Re. Relevant Event
Please be advised that on the date hereof notice was served on BANCO MACRO S.A. informing the latter the filing of a joint action entitled “ASOCIACION DE DEFENSA DEL ASEGURADO CONSUMIDORES Y USUARIOS-ADACU-ASOCIACION CIVIL vs. BANCO MACRO S.A. S/ORDINARIO” (Court File. No. 9876/2020).
Plaintiff argues Banco Macro had not communicated its customers who were consumers of financing services, the terms and conditions of the auto-insurance and/or insurance to be exclusively borne by the Bank and assumed or purchased by the latter in accordance with the provisions of Communiqué “A” 5928 issued by the BCRA (Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina) on 03/21/2016 in order to cover the risks of total and permanent disability and death in connection with the outstanding balances of the financing granted to those customers as of 09/01/2016; which upon occurrence of the covered risks, had not proceeded to paid off the outstanding balances, demanding the payment thereof and informing the same as in default if such balances continued to be unpaid.
Plaintiff claims payment of such alleged outstanding balances, which, as argued by Plaintiff, had remained unpaid after occurrence of the losses; reimbursement of the amounts that might have been collected thereafter, plus interest; refunding, plus interest, of all the amounts the Bank might have charged as insurance, if applicable; rectification of the negative information the Bank might have furnished in such cases to the BCRA; and payment of a civil fine equal to 25% of the amount to be reimbursed to each damaged customer.
The action is pending before the Court of First Instance in Commercial Matters No. 4, Clerks’ Office No. 7 of the City of Buenos Aires.
Banco Macro S.A. considers it is not likely to get an unfavorable decision in this controversy, and even if it gets one, such decision shall not have a material impact on its assets.
Sincerely,
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereto duly authorized.
