Dear Mr./Mrs.,
It is pleasure to contact you in my capacity of Head of Market Relations of Central Puerto S.A. (the “Company”) so as to inform that today Proener S.A.U. (“Proener”), affiliate controlled by the Company, acquired 100% of the share capital and votes of Forestal Argentina S.A. and Masisa Forestal S.A.
As it is known to the public, the Company is analyzing investment alternatives aligned to the global tendency to develop innovative projects aimed at improving environmental performance of companies and at contributing to the decarbonization global objectives. The inclusion of these additional activities will allow the Company to explore new models aimed at the commitment of reducing its operations’ impact on the environment.
In this regard, today, Proener entered into a shares sale and purchase contract with Masisa S.A. and Masisa Overseas S.A. (jointly, “Masisa”), one of the main companies in the region that produces and trades MDF and MDP dashboards and other products derived from wood. Through such contract, Masisa sold Proener the total shares of its Argentine affiliates Forestal Argentina S.A. and Masisa Forestal S.A., which hold the forestal assets Masisa had in the country, which consist of 72,000 hectares approximately in the provinces of Entre Ríos and Corrientes, in which 43,000 hectares approximately are planted with eucalyptus and pine tree. The transaction price amounts to US$69,364,162.
