La Rural S.A.

 

 On December 2012, the National Executive Power annulled a 1991 decree that had approved the sale of the Palermo Fairgrounds to Sociedad Rural Argentina (SRA) and revoked the purchase agreement. SRA filed a precautionary measure to suspend the execution of this annulment, which was granted and remains in force after various judicial proceedings.

 

IRSA has not been notified and is not a party to these judicial actions initiated by SRA. In the event that the annulment of the sale is declared unconstitutional, it would not legally impact IRSA’s acquisition in the company related to the property. However, if the nullity of the sale is declared, it could affect the assets related to the property.

 

The judicial process continues in the evidentiary stage, and there are currently no elements indicating that La Rural S.A. could see the usufruct it holds over the property affected. The Company will continue monitoring the progress of the process due to the legal uncertainty.

Puerto Retiro (joint venture):

 

The Company owns a plot of land of 8.3 hectares, whose U.P. zoning restricts its use to port activities. It faces: (i) a request for extension of bankruptcy initiated by the National Government, and (ii) a civil action filed by Tandanor and the Ministry of Defense regarding the bidding of the Dársena Norte property.

 

On September 7, 2018, the Federal Criminal Oral Court (“TOFC”) No. 5 upheld the statute of limitations defense raised by Puerto Retiro; however, in the criminal case, where Puerto Retiro is not a party, the confiscation of the “Planta I” property was ordered.

 

During fiscal year 2019, Puerto Retiro recorded a provision equivalent to 100% of the carrying value of its investment property, subject to reversal if a favorable judgment is obtained.

 

On November 26, 2024, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation annulled the cassation judgment regarding the statute of limitations of the civil action, ordered a new ruling to be issued, and confirmed the confiscation, ordering its restitution to Tandanor.

 

On June 24, 2025, Chamber IV of the Federal Court of Cassation annulled the parts of TOFC No. 5 related to the statute of limitations and the destination of the confiscation and remitted the proceedings to said court for a new resolution.

 

It is worth noting that the civil action is directed exclusively against Puerto Retiro and not against IRSA; the facts on which the civil action in criminal jurisdiction is based occurred prior to IRSA’s acquisition of the shares of Puerto Retiro.

 

As of the issuance date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the resolution regarding the statute of limitations of the civil action and the destination of the property remains pending.

 

Given the procedural stage, the final outcome is uncertain.
