Furthermore, the board of directs will propose to: (i) delegate to the board of directors the authority to partially disaffect the special discretionary reserve for future dividend distribution in two moments, in the months of September 2022 and January 2023, for a total amount that, adjusted with inflation pursuant to the terms of Resolution 777/2018 of the Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission, results in the sum of Ps. 4,000,000,000.- in each case, all subject to liquidity conditions, dividend reception from our subsidiary Banco Galicia and financial situation; and (ii) delegate to the board of directors the authority to determine the payment method in cash or in kind, in the case of the latter valued at market price, or in any combination of both options.

Yours faithfully,
