Positive

  • Cash dividend of $247,344,290,288 (ARS 164 per share) declared from realized, liquid earnings, returning capital to shareholders with a clear record date and payment date.
  • Optional U.S. dollar collection for foreign shareholders, subject to access to the MULC, provides added flexibility in how the dividend can be received.

Negative

  • None.

Filing Explained

The scheduled cash dividend may be reduced by applicable tax deductions before shareholders receive payment.

The filing leaves the dividend at a scheduled, pre-payment stage: it creates a future cash distribution for eligible shareholders, with payment set for September 25, 2026.

Foreign shareholders choosing U.S. dollars must notify Caja de Valores between September 21 and September 22, 2026; the election covers the entire dividend and otherwise payment is made in Argentine pesos, subject to the company’s access to the MULC.

Where applicable, the company will reimburse itself for Personal Property Tax amounts paid as substitute obligor and apply a 7% income-tax withholding, so applicable deductions can reduce the cash delivered from the stated $164.00 per-share dividend.
