We hereby inform that the General Shareholders’ Meeting held on the date hereof approved the distribution of AR $170,994,743.25 (25% of the corporate capital of AR $683,978,973) to the shareholders as cash dividend, authorizing the Board of Directors to make available to the Shareholders, in proportion to their respective shareholdings, the approved cash dividend within 30 calendar days in accordance with the laws in force.
 
From the total amount of dividends to be distributed, the amount of AR $ 141,000,000 derives from the results of the fiscal year 2007, and the balance ($ 29,994,743.25) derives from retained earnings originated during the fiscal year 2005.
 
The above mentioned distribution is not subject to the 35% withholding provided for in the section added after section 69 of the Argentine Income Tax Law because the distributed dividends do not exceed the income determined in accordance with the general provisions of such law.
 
Yours sincerely,
