NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED March 31, 2024 (Amounts stated in thousands of pesos and in constant currency - see Note 2.3) NOTA 1 - INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY On December 27, 2012, Capital Market Law No. 26831 was enacted. This law, effective as from January 28, 2013, provides for a comprehensive reform of the prior public offering regime. The new law reforms capital market regulatory and operative aspects, and it also broadens the regulatory powers of the National Securities Commission (CNV) in the field of public offerings. In order to channel the needs of the new capital markets contemplated in the above-mentioned legislation, the Shareholders of Mercado de Valores de Buenos Aires S.A. (Merval) and of Bolsa de Comercio de Buenos Aires (BCBA) signed, on March 1, 2013, a framework agreement for the incorporation of a company named Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. (BYMA). This Company would be subject to public offering and listing of its shares and its capital stock would be subscribed fifty percent by the Shareholders of Mercado de Valores de Buenos Aires S.A. and the other fifty percent by BCBA, in accordance with the provisions of the above-mentioned framework agreement. Such agreement was confirmed by the Board of Directors of Merval at the meeting held on March 1, 2013, and approved by its Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 9, 2013. On July 23, 2013, the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Merval approved the spin-off of certain assets relating to its business activity as a market, the reduction of that Company's capital stock, and the incorporation of the new spun-off business, BYMA, and its by-laws. The assets of Mercado de Valores de Buenos Aires S.A. to be spun-off, in accordance with the special spin-off Statement of Financial Position at March 31, 2013, approved by the above-mentioned Shareholders' Meeting, were as follows: (a) 509,791,920 for all shares held by Caja de Valores S.A., measured at their fair value as of the spin-off effective date; (b) 40,000,000 in cash; and (c) 160,000,000 for all elements inherent in the securities market business, measured at their fair value as of such date (pursuant to the above-stated framework agreement). On December 5, 2013, the CNV, by Resolution No. 17242, decided to consent to the partial spin-off of Merval's Equity and the amendment to Article 7 of the Corporate By-laws. Subsequently, the shareholders of Merval and BCBA subscribed two Addenda to the framework agreement for the incorporation of BYMA: a) Addendum dated April 4, 2014: it was agreed to reformulate the capital increase approved at BYMA for BCBA to hold a twenty percent (20%) interest in BYMA's capital. This Addendum was approved by the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting dated June 5, 2014; b) Addendum dated July 7, 2016: it was agreed that BCBA would transfer to BYMA all its equity interest held in Caja de Valores S.A. This decision was approved by the Annual and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on September 14, 2016. The CNV's Issuers Division consented to the amendments made to the framework agreement. On December 21, 2016, particular Resolution No. 2202 of the Legal Entities Regulator, ordered the registration of BYMA with the Public Registry kept by such entity. On December 29, 2016, the CNV, through Resolution No. 18424, registered BYMA as market under registration No. 639. Then, on January 5, 2017, an application was submitted to the CNV for BYMA's admission to public offering regime, which was authorized by the regulatory entity on March 16, 2017 by Resolution No. 18559. At March 31, 2017, Merval transferred 100% of its equity interest in Caja de Valores S.A., consisting of 116,452,536 book-entry shares with a nominal value of $1 per share, and 100% of its equity interest in Mercado Argentino de Valores S.A., consisting of 1,600,000 registered shares with a nominal value of $1 per share. In addition, the BCBA transferred its equity interests in Caja de Valores S.A. and Tecnología de Valores S.A., consisting of 116,452,536 shares with a nominal value of $1 and 25,000 shares with a nominal value of $1, respectively.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED March 31, 2024 (Amounts stated in thousands of pesos and in constant currency - see Note 2.3) During April 2017, the Entity completed the operating migration processes in relation to the activity of market and clearing house. Consequently, as from April 17, 2017, the transfer and automatic registration of the Member Brokers, Issuers and all issues listed in Merval to BYMA was made, with no additional requirements or cost whatsoever. Consideration of technological risk The nature of the main operations conducted by Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. (whether directly or through its subsidiaries and associates) and their interrelation with the generation of financial accounting information require a high level of reliance on technology and information security. For this purpose, Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Group") have in place policies and procedures aimed at ensuring an adequate control environment on these aspects, within the framework of what is important to guarantee adequate processing of information. In addition, current regulations of the CNV define minimum requirements as performance of tasks, security and service continuity, among other aspects, that the IT systems used by Bolsas y Mercados Argentinos S.A. (owing to its activity as a market and clearing house) and Caja de Valores S.A. (owing to its activity as Central Depositary Agent of Marketable Securities and Registrar and Payment Agent) must fulfill; these entities are subject to a yearly external systems audit under the terms of Titles VI and VIII, respectively, of CNV regulations, their 2013 restated text and amendments.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED March 31, 2024 (Amounts stated in thousands of pesos and in constant currency - see Note 2.3) 2.3 Measuring unit International Accounting Standard No. 29 Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies (IAS 29) requires that the financial statements of an entity that reports in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, whether they are based on a historical cost approach or a current cost approach, be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting year. To this end, in general terms, the inflation rate should be computed in the non-monetary items as from the acquisition date or the revaluation date, as applicable. These requirements also comprise the comparative information contained in the financial statements. To determine the existence of a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29, the standard details a series of factors to consider, including a cumulative inflation rate over three years that approximates or exceeds 100%. For this reason, as set forth by IAS 29, the Argentine economy should be considered highly inflationary as from July 1, 2018. In turn, Law No. 27468 (Official Gazette published on December 4, 2018) amended Section 10 of Law No. 23928, as amended, and provided that the repeal of the all regulations that establish or authorize index-adjustment, monetary restatement, cost variation or any other way of restatement of debts, taxes, prices or tariffs of goods, works or services/utilities, does not apply to the Financial Statements, and the provisions of Section 62 in fine of General Companies Law No. 19550 (1984 restated text), as amended, will continue to apply. That law also repealed Decree No. 1269/2002 dated July 16, 2002, as amended, and delegated to the National Executive Branch, through its control authorities, the power to set the effective date of the rules governing Financial Statements to be filed. Therefore, under General Resolution No. 777/2018 (Official Gazette 12/28/2018), the National Securities Commission (CNV) established that the issuing entities under its control shall apply to Financial Statements for annual, interim and special periods ending on or after December 31, 2018 the method of restatement to constant currency, pursuant to IAS 29. Therefore, these Financial Statements at March 31, 2024 have been restated. Pursuant to IAS 29, the financial statements of entities reporting in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy shall be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the date of the financial statements. Statement of financial position amounts not already expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the date of the Financial Statements shall be restated by applying a general price index. All items in the statement of income shall be expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the date of the financial statements by applying the change in the general price index from the dates when the items of income and expenses were initially recorded in the Financial Statements. Restatement of opening balances is calculated as from the indexes established by the FACPCE based on price indexes published by the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INDEC). Below are the main procedures to be applied for the adjustment for inflation mentioned above: Monetary assets and liabilities recorded at the monetary unit current at year end are not restated as they are already expressed in terms of the monetary unit current at the date of the Financial Statements. Non-monetary assets and liabilities accounted for at their acquisition cost at the date of the Financial Statements, and equity items are restated by applying the corresponding index adjustments. -All items in the statement of income are restated by applying the corresponding index adjustments. The effect of inflation on the Company's net monetary position is included in the statement of income, in Financial and holding results, under the heading Income/(loss) on monetary position. Comparative amounts have been inflation-adjusted following the same procedure explained above. See our report dated May 9, 2024 PRICE WATERHOUSE & CO. S.R.L.
