Ref.: Central Puerto S.A. – Partial payment and refinancing of debt under the terms of Communication “A” 7106 of the BCRA, modified by Communication “A” 7230 of the BCRA.
Dear Sirs,
I am pleased to address you, in my capacity as Head of Market Relations of Central Puerto S.A. (the “Company”), located at Avenue Thomas Edison 2701, City of Buenos Aires, in relation to the Loan Agreement that the Company signed on June 12, 2019 with Citibank N.A., JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding INC. for an amount of U$S 180 million (the “Loan”) in order to finance the acquisition of the Brigadier López plant (and has been subsequently refinanced through amendments dated December 22, 2020 and January 20, 2021, the “Loan”).
In compliance with the provisions of Communication “A” 7106 of the BCRA, modified by Communication “A” 7230 of the BCRA, the Company has submitted to the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (“BCRA”) a new amortization schedule for the Loan, which comprises the refinancing of the third repayment installment of the Loan for the sum of U$S 36 million that were due today and has not been paid by the Company, which constitutes an "Event of Default" under Section 8.1 (a) of the Loan.
However, the Company is negotiating in good faith with its creditors certain modifications to the Loan, to allow the Company to comply with an amortization schedule in accordance with the aforementioned BCRA’s regulations.
We believe that the Company has a solid liquidity position and repayment capacity, being in this negotiation to comply with the provisions for the exchange market’s access established in the BCRA’s regulations, reason for which the Company hopes to reach an agreement with its Loan’s creditors soon.
Your sinceresly,
Leonardo Marinaro
Head of Market Relations
