5. Board of Directors proposal
The net income for the fiscal year 2022 amounted to ARS 19,040,491. This way, as of December 31, 2022, retained accumulated income (loss) amounted to ARS 18,887,833. The Board of Directors proposes to allocate 952,025 to the Statutory reserve. Moreover, it proposes to allocate the remaining balance of the retained accumulated income (loss) to the Optional reserve increase, which can be destined to the following: payment of dividends based on the evolution of the Company’s financial position and the Company’s Dividend Distribution Policy.
6. Controlling shareholding
As a consequence of the merger between Central Puerto S.A., in its capacity as parent company and Operating S.A. (“OPER”), Hidroneuquén S.A. (“HNQ”) and Sociedad Argentina de Energía S.A. (“SADESA”), all in their capacity as acquired companies and, as a consequence of the corresponding acquired companies’ shares swap, none of the shareholders of Central Puerto S.A. holds a controlling interest.
Finally, it is important to highlight the fact that share capital is under public offering, and it is listed in the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange (“BCBA”) and; since February 2, 2018, in the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Therefore, shareholding may experience variations, which the Company may not be aware of.
