Ref.: LOMA NEGRA C.I.A.S.A. – Announcement of
payment of dividends
Dear Sirs,
Please be informed that pursuant to the resolution adopted at the Board of Directors’ Meeting of Loma Negra C.I.A.S.A. (the “Company”) held today, the following decisions were approved:
|
(i)
|
the payment of dividends for a total amount of ARS 5,150,000,000 equivalent to ARS 8.797388907640520 per outstanding share (without including
the treasury shares) (ARS 43.986944538202600 per ADS) and equivalent to 879,7388907640520% of the nominal outstanding capital stock;
|
|
(ii)
|
to allocate a part of the Reserve for Future Dividends to the payment of dividends;
|
|
(iii)
|
as a general rule, the Shareholders will receive the payment of dividends in Argentine Pesos through Caja de Valores S.A.; and
|
|
(iv)
|
to grant to the Shareholders the option to (a) receive the payment of their portion of dividends in equivalent amounts of US Dollars resulting
from the conversion of the proportional amounts of dividends in Argentine Pesos into US Dollars pursuant to the Reference Exchange Rate of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic - Communication “A” 3500 applicable at the close of
business on the trading day immediately preceding the Payment Date (as defined below); or (b) receive the payment in US Dollars through Caja de Valores S.A., either into a local or a foreign bank account (the “US Dollar Payment Option”).
|
The dividend payment will be made available to the Shareholders as from April 26, 2022 (the “Payment Date”) on business days from 10 am to 3 pm Buenos Aires time at Caja de Valores S.A., located at 25 de Mayo 362, City of Buenos Aires. The Shareholders will need to deal with the paperwork required by
Caja de Valores S.A. and payments will be made in accordance with applicable regulations.
Shareholders who wish to exercise the US Dollar Payment Option shall give
notice to Caja de Valores S.A. and comply with all the procedures and filings required by Caja de Valores S.A., as from Monday April 18th 2022 until
Friday April 22th 2022 (the “Option Period”) as well as inform if they choose to receive the payment in a local or a foreign bank account (the “Notice of Option of Payment in US Dollars”). The exercise of the US Dollar Payment Option may not be partial and, therefore, its exercise
will comprise the entire dividend to be received by each Shareholder. Shareholders who have validly submitted a Notice of Option of Payment in US Dollars during the Option Period without indicating a bank account will receive payment in US
Dollars through Caja de Valores S.A. in Argentina through the procedures established for this purpose by the entity.
The following contact channels are available for any filing or query: Telephone: (+5411) 0810-888-7323 or email: Registro@cajadevalores.com.ar.
Shareholders that do not properly exercise the US Dollar Payment Option during the Option Period will receive the dividend payment in Argentine Pesos.
Such amount shall be available at Caja de Valores S.A. in Argentina within the legal statute limitation period through the procedures established for that purpose by the entity. Therefore, Shareholders who do not wish to exercise the US Dollar
Payment Option should not make any kind of notification or take any action.
Shareholders who hold their shares through a depositor (Bank, Agent or Broker), shall notify their decision to exercise the US Dollar Payment Option to
that entity which shall communicate this decision to Caja de Valores S.A. during the US Dollar Payment Option and according to the procedures established by Caja de Valores S.A. for such purposes.
American Depositary Shares (ADSs) holders will receive their payment through the Depositary Bank, Citibank N.A., as from the date set forth by the
respective rules that apply in the jurisdiction where the Company’s ADSs are listed.
The shareholdings of the Shareholders registered at the close of business on the trading day immediately preceding the Payment Date (the "Record Date") will be the only ones considered for the purposes of payment of the dividend. The exercise of the US Dollar Payment Option by any person who is not
a holder of the Company’s shares on the Record Date shall be deemed not exercised and without effect.
Dividends to be paid will be subject to the withholding, in the relevant cases, of the amounts paid by the Company in its capacity as Substitute Person
Responsible for the Argentine Personal Assets Tax for fiscal year 2020, in the case of those shareholders that are subject to said tax, pursuant to the last paragraph of the section incorporated by Argentine Law No. 26,452 after section 25 of
Argentine Law No. 23,996. It is also informed that, pursuant to Argentine Law No. 27,430, as amended by Argentine Law No. 20,628 of Income Tax Law (third section without number incorporated after section 90), the dividends to be distributed are not
subject to the withholding tax set forth in such laws, since the dividends correspond to tax-free accumulated earnings from years prior to the one started as of January 1, 2018.
Sincerely,
______________________
