This Pricing Supplement relates to a series of notes to be issued under our Global Note Program for the issuance of notes in one or
more series up to an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding of US$800,000,000, which we refer to as our "Global Note Program."
This Pricing Supplement is supplementary to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Offering Memorandum dated May 18, 2016 relating to
the Global Note Program, which we refer to as the "Offering Memorandum." To the extent that information contained in this Pricing Supplement
is not consistent with the Offering Memorandum, this Pricing Supplement will be deemed to supersede the Offering Memorandum with respect to
the Notes offered hereby.
We are offering US$150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 9.750% Notes Due 2020, Series No. 29, which we refer to as the
"Notes." The Notes will be part of the same series as, and will be fungible with, US$200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 9.750%
Notes Due 2020, Series No. 29 that we issued on November 30, 2015, which we refer to as the "Original Notes." The Notes will mature on
November 30, 2020. The Notes will accrue interest at a fixed rate of 9.750% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 30 and November
30 of each year, commencing on May 30, 2016. Payment of principal, interest, additional amounts and any other amounts in respect of the Notes
will be made in U.S. dollars. The Original Notes and the Notes will have the same ISIN and CUSIP numbers, except that the Notes offered and
sold in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act shall be issued and maintained under temporary ISIN and CUSIP numbers during
a 40-day distribution compliance period commencing on the date of issuance of the Notes.
We may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time by paying the greater of 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the
Notes and the applicable "make whole" premium amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest and any additional amounts. In the event of certain
changes in Argentine withholding taxes, we may redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, at any time at a price equal to 100% of the
outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and any additional amounts.
The Notes will constitute our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank at all times pari passu in right of payment with
our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness (other than obligations preferred by statute or by operation of law), including deposits.
An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. See "Risk Factors" commencing on page 13 of the Offering
Memorandum for a description of certain material risks related to an investment in the Notes.
We have applied to have the Notes listed on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to trading on the Euro MTF
Market. We have applied to have the Notes listed and admitted for trading on the Mercado de Valores de Buenos Aires S.A. ("MVBA") on the
Mercado Abierto Electrónico S.A. ("MAE").
The Notes will constitute non-convertible notes, or obligaciones negociables simples no convertibles en acciones under the Argentine
Negotiable Obligations Law No. 23,576, as amended (the "Negotiable Obligations Law"), will be issued and placed in accordance with such law,
Law No. 26,831 on Capital Markets (the "Capital Markets Law"), Decree No. 1023/2013 implementing the Capital Markets Law and the rules of
the Comisión Nacional de Valores (the "CNV") (as approved by General Resolution No. 622/13, as amended and supplemented (collectively, the
"CNV Rules")), and will have the benefits provided thereby and will be subject to the procedural requirements therein set forth.
The Notes will not benefit from the Argentine deposit insurance system established pursuant to Argentine Law No. 24,485, as
amended, or the exclusive priority right granted to depositors pursuant to Article 49(d) and (e) of Argentine Law No. 21,526, as amended (the
"Financial Institutions Law"). The Notes will not be secured by any security interest or guarantee and will not be guaranteed by any other means
or by any other entity or person.
The public offering of Notes under the Global Note Program has been authorized by the CNV pursuant to Resolution No. 16,573
dated May 24, 2011. This authorization means only that the information requirements of the CNV have been satisfied. The CNV has not rendered
any opinion in respect of the accuracy of the information contained in this Pricing Supplement or in the Offering Memorandum.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any

on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in

RISK FACTORS
Investing in the Notes involves certain significant risks. Before making a decision to purchase the Notes,
prospective investors should carefully consider the risk factors discussed under "Risk Factors" beginning on page 13
in the Offering Memorandum.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Acquisition of Edificio del Plata
On April 20, 2016, by means of a public auction conducted by the government of the City of Buenos Aires,
we acquired the building known as "Edificio del Plata" to be our corporate headquarters and a branch, for
approximately US$68 million. Edificio del Plata is located at Carlos Pellegrini No. 211/291 Sarmiento No.
980/922, Carabelas No. 222/286 Tte. Gral. Juan Domingo Perón No. 981/993. According to Article 3 of Decree
208/16, we are required to pay (i) 15% of the acquisition price within seven business days from the date of the
public auction and (ii) the remaining 85% when executing the public deed and entering into possession of the
building, which should occur within 365 days of the public auction.
Lifting of injunction imposed on Argentina
On April 22, 2016, as result of the agreements reached with certain holdout bondholders, the Argentine
government paid US$9.3 billion of the outstanding debt to bondholders, putting an end to their claims. With this
payment, judge Thomas Griesa lifted the injunction imposed in 2014, thereby enabling Argentina to pay outstanding
amounts to the 2005 and 2010 exchange bondholders.

respect of the Notes then outstanding on the Stated Maturity of the
Notes, and (ii) comply with certain other conditions, including,
without limitation, the delivery to the Trustee of opinions of
nationally recognized counsels in the United States and in Argentina
