You should consider the risk factors beginning on page 34 of this exchange offer memorandum before you decide whether to participate in the Exchange Offer

We have not registered the New Notes under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or with any securities regulatory authority of
any state or other jurisdiction. The New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to or for the account or benefit of any U.S. persons except pursuant to an
exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Exchange Offer is directed only to holders of Old Notes who
are (1) "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("QIBs"), in a private transaction in reliance upon the exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and (2) persons other than "U.S. persons" as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities
Act in offshore transactions in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S") who are qualified offerees in other jurisdictions. Only holders

of the categories described in the immediately preceding sentence are authorized to receive and review this Offering Memorandum and to participate in the
Exchange Offer (such holders, "Eligible Holders"). For a description of restrictions on transfers of the New Notes, see "Transfer Restrictions."

The Company is inviting Eligible Holders to offer to exchange their Old Notes for the applicable Consideration pursuant
to the Exchange Offer. A brief summary of the commercial terms of the Exchange Offer are set forth in the table on the cover
page of this exchange offer memorandum. This summary is subject to the more detailed description of the Exchange Offer
included elsewhere in this exchange offer memorandum.
Only Eligible Holders that validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Old Notes on or prior to the Early Participation
Date, will be eligible to receive the Early Exchange Consideration of US$950 principal amount of New Notes and US$100 of
cash for each US$1,000 principal amount of Old Notes, which cash amount includes the Early Exchange Additional
Consideration of US$50 of cash, for such Old Notes validly tendered, not validly withdrawn and accepted by the Company on
the Early Settlement Date (as defined herein). Eligible Holders that validly tender and do not validly withdraw Old Notes after
the Early Participation Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date will be eligible to receive only the Exchange Consideration
of US$950 principal amount of New Notes and US$50 of cash, but no Early Exchange Additional Consideration, for each
US$1,000 principal amount of Old Notes validly tendered, not validly withdrawn and accepted by the Company on the Final
Settlement Date (as defined herein).
The New Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of US$1,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess
thereof. Accordingly, an Eligible Holder must tender Old Notes in a principal amount sufficient to receive at least US$1,000
principal amount of New Notes in exchange for such Old Notes, based on the Early Exchange Consideration or the Exchange
Consideration, as the case may be. Any Eligible Holder that tenders less than such amount will not be able to participate in
the Exchange Offer. Subject to the foregoing, tender instructions with respect to Old Notes will be accepted only in permitted
denominations, which are minimum denominations of US$1,000 and integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof. The
amount of New Notes to be issued to any Eligible Holder will be rounded down to the nearest US$1,000. Any fractional
portion of New Notes not received as a result of rounding down will be paid in cash.
Subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions (including the Minimum Exchange Condition, as defined below),
for Old Notes that are validly tendered, not validly withdrawn and accepted by the Company on or prior to the Early
Participation Date, we expect the settlement date to be the second business day after the Early Participation Date, or as soon
as practicable thereafter (the "Early Settlement Date"). For Old Notes that are validly tendered, not validly withdrawn and
accepted by the Company after the Early Participation Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, we expect the settlement
date to be the business day immediately after the Expiration Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter (the "Final Settlement
Date" and, together with the Early Settlement Date, the "Settlement Dates"). The New Notes issued on each of the Early
Settlement Date and the Final Settlement Date are expected to be fully fungible and trade interchangeably with each other.
There is no guarantee that this will be the case, however. See "Risk Factors--If you tender your Old Notes after the Early
Participation Date, you may be issued New Notes with different CUSIP and ISIN numbers than those of the New Notes to
be issued on the Early Settlement Date."
On the applicable Settlement Date, all Eligible Holders whose Old Notes are validly tendered, not validly withdrawn
and accepted for exchange by the Company will also receive a cash payment equal to the applicable accrued and unpaid
interest on the Old Notes validly tendered from the last applicable interest payment date up to, but excluding, such Settlement
Date, less the amount of interest accrued on the New Notes from the closing date of the New Notes Offering (as defined
herein) to, but excluding, such Settlement Date.
Principal of the New Notes will be amortized over 4 annual periods, beginning on March 23, 2022.
Interest on the New Notes will begin to accrue on the Early Settlement Date. On the applicable Settlement Date, all Eligible
Holders whose Old Notes are validly tendered, not validly withdrawn and accepted for exchange by the Company will also
receive a cash payment equal to the applicable accrued and unpaid interest on the Old Notes validly tendered from the last
interest payment date up to, but excluding, the Early Settlement Date (the "Accrued and Unpaid Interest"). Eligible Holders
whose Old Notes are validly tendered, not validly withdrawn and accepted for exchange by the Company after the Early
Participation Date and on or prior to the Expiration Date, will receive the Accrued and Unpaid Interest, less the amount of
interest accrued on the New Notes, if any, from and including the Early Settlement Date up to, but excluding, the Final
Settlement Date.

Withdrawal Rights
Tenders of Old Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 16, 2020,
unless extended by us (such date and time, as it may be extended, the "Withdrawal Date"), but will thereafter be irrevocable,
except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by us).
Conditions to the Exchange Offer
The Exchange Offer is subject to certain conditions as described under "Description of the Exchange Offer--Conditions
to the Exchange Offer" (including, without limitation, the Minimum Exchange Condition) which may be asserted or waived
by us in full or in part in our sole discretion without extending the Expiration Date.
Although we have no present intention to do so, we expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate, at any time, the
Exchange Offer and to not accept for exchange any Old Notes not theretofore accepted for exchange. We will give you notice
of any amendments or termination if required by applicable law.
The New Notes
We will pay interest on the New Notes on March 23 and September 23 of each year, beginning on September 23, 2020.
Interest on the New Notes will begin to accrue from and including the Early Settlement Date, which is the first closing date
for our offering of up to US$950,000,000 8.500% Senior Amortizing Notes due 2025. Principal of the New Notes will be
amortized over 4 annual periods, beginning on March 23, 2022. The New Notes will mature on March 23, 2025.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated under the laws of Argentina. Substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States.
The majority of our directors and officers and certain advisors named herein reside in Argentina or elsewhere outside the United
States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or such
persons or to enforce against us or them in United States courts judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the
federal securities laws of the United States.
We have been advised by our Argentine counsel, Bruchou, Fernández Madero & Lombardi, that a substantial portion
of our assets located in Argentina could not be subject to attachment or foreclosure if a court were to find that such properties
are necessary to the provision of an essential public service, unless the Argentine government otherwise approves the release
of such property affected as an essential public service. In accordance with Argentine law, as interpreted by the Argentine
courts, assets which are necessary to the provision of an essential public service may not be attached, whether preliminarily or
in aid of execution.
Our Argentine counsel has also advised us that judgments of United States courts for civil liabilities based upon the
federal securities laws of the United States may be enforced in Argentina, provided that the requirements of Article 517 of the
Federal Civil and Commercial Procedure Code of Argentina (if enforcement is sought before federal courts) are met as follows:
(i) the judgment, which must be final in the jurisdiction where rendered, was issued by a court competent in accordance with
the Argentine principles regarding international jurisdiction and resulted from a personal action, or an in rem action with respect
to personal property if such was transferred to Argentine territory during or after the prosecution of the foreign action, (ii) the
defendant against whom enforcement of the judgment is sought was personally served with the summons and, in accordance
with due process of law, was given an opportunity to defend against foreign action, (iii) the judgment must be valid in the
jurisdiction where rendered and meet authenticity requirements under Argentine law, (iv) the judgment does not violate the
principles of public policy of Argentine law, and (v) the judgment is not contrary to a prior or simultaneous judgment of an
Argentine court.
Subject to compliance with Article 517 of the Federal Civil and Commercial Procedure Code described above, a
judgment against us or the persons described above obtained outside Argentina would be enforceable in Argentina without
reconsideration of the merits.
We have been further advised by our Argentine counsel that:

original actions based on the federal securities laws of the United States may be brought in Argentine courts
and that, subject to applicable law, Argentine courts may enforce liabilities in such actions against us, our
directors, our executive officers and the advisors named in this exchange offer memorandum; and

the ability of a judgment creditor or the other persons named above to satisfy a judgment by attaching certain
assets of ours is limited by provisions of Argentine law.
