-ACI Existing Notes are guaranteed and have a security package that includes the pledge of the shares in PDS and Cerealsur S.A., and certain accounts of Cerealsur S.A. and ACI. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, they were secured by a debt service reserve account of ACI and the funds contained therein. These notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Cerealsur S.A.and PDS.

On May 26, 2020, ACI issued USD 180.9 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Cash/7.875% PIK Senior Secured Guaranteed Notes due 2032 to repurchase and exchange 93.6% of the total original principal amount of the ACI Existing Notes obtaining consents to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the ACI Existing Notes and certain waivers. The main covenants and guarantees remain unchanged except for the incorporation of ACI’s shares pledge.

On November 12, 2021, ACI issued USD 246.2 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% of the “New Notes” consolidating the repurchase and exchange of 40.62% of the total original principal amount of the Series 2015 Notes, 96.43% of the total original amount of the Series 2020 Notes and a new money offering of USD 52.9 million in a private transaction under the same terms as the New Notes. The main guarantees remain unchanged while the covenants over ACI Existing Notes were eliminated; an Interest payment account was funded with a portion of the proceeds of the issuance of the New Notes to cancel interest payments until November 29, 2023 and a stand by letter was issued by Goldman Sachs Bank for USD 8.5 million which was increased in November 2024 to USD 14.6 million, remaining in force as of December 31, 2025.

-AA2000 Existing Notes are secured by a collateral assignment of fiduciary rights of certain revenue of AA2000.

The main covenants require compliance with certain financial ratios as well as restriction to incur additional debt and limitations on the payments of dividends if any default, whether declared or not, has occurred. As of December 31, 2025 AA2000 is in compliance with said covenants.

On May 20, 2020 AA2000 issued USD 306 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Cash/9.375% PIK Class I Series 2020 Additional Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Series 2020 Additional Notes”) in exchange of 86.73% of the total original principal amount of AA2000 Existing Notes. The collateral assignment of revenue under AA2000 Existing Notes was extended to the Series 2020 Additional Notes in equal terms. Accrued interest are capitalized quarterly. The main covenants and guarantees remain unchanged.

On October 28, 2021, AA2000 issued USD 208.9 million aggregate principal amount of 8.5% the “Series 2021 Notes” to repurchase and exchange 24.61% of the total original principal amount of the Series 2017 Notes and 66.83% of the original principal amount of Series 2020 Additional Notes. Additionally, on November 4, 2021, AA2000 issued USD 64 million of Series 2021 Notes related to a new fund raising. The main covenants and guarantees remain unchanged.

The Series 2021 Notes and the Existing Notes not exchanged are secured by the collateral currently securing the Existing Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis. In addition, to secure its obligations under the Series 2021 Notes, AA2000, together with the relevant parties thereto, amended the cargo trust agreement dated August 9, 2019, entered into by AA2000 and the trustee (as amended, the “Cargo Trust”) in order to include holders of Series 2021 Notes as beneficiaries therein, granting them a security interest which is subordinated to (i) the rights of creditors under certain existing loans of AA2000, and (ii) any debt permitted to be incurred to finance or refinance any capital expenditures made or to be made pursuant to the concession agreement entered into by AA2000 with the Argentine National Government (as amended form time to time, the “Concession Agreement”) for the operation of the airports in Argentina.

Once the Existing Notes not exchanged in the Exchange Offer mature or are cancelled in full, AA2000 is required to amend and restate the Cargo Trust and the current trust related to the tariffs dated January 19, 2017, entered into by AA2000 and the trustee thereto (the “Tariffs Trust”), so that the Series 2021 Notes become secured under the Cargo Trust on a pro rata and pari passu basis with the existing beneficiaries of the Cargo Trust, and these beneficiaries in turn become secured under the Tariffs Trust on a pro rata and pari passu basis with the Series 2021 Notes. In accordance with the Concession Agreement, the collateral assignment of revenue must be authorized by the ORSNA. ORSNA approved, on October 15 2021, the amendment of the Tariffs Trust and of the Cargo Trust to include the Series 2021 Notes as beneficiaries thereto (including their future amendment and restatement, once the Existing Notes are cancelled in full). Furthermore, AA2000 received the approval from the BCRA to establish a non-interest bearing USD trust account in the United States to secure the Series 2021.

On November 4, 2021, AA2000 additionally issued USD 62 million aggregate principal amount of Class 4 Senior Secured Notes related to a new money offering. These Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority lien on the Cargo Trust on a pari passu basis with certain commercial bank lenders to AA2000 and a second priority lien with new debt incurred by AA2000 to fund infrastructure works for a total amount of up to USD 235 million.

In December, 2024, AA2000 issued Class 11 Notes, for a total amount of USD 28.8 million. Interest shall be payable semi-annually until the maturity date.

During 2025, AA2000 repurchased dollar-linked Class 10 Notes for nominal value of USD 2.2 million, while during 2024, AA2000 repurchased dollar-linked Class 6, Class 9 and Class 10 Notes for nominal value of USD 7.3 million, USD 7.1 million and USD 4.7 million, respectively.
