(b) by means of any other legal procedure existing in Argentina for the purchase of U.S. dollars and their subsequent transfer abroad.
All costs and taxes payable in connection with the procedures referred to above shall be borne by IRSA. IRSA’s payment obligations may only be deemed satisfied and discharged upon receipt by the relevant Holder or the Trustee, as the case may be, of the U.S. dollar amounts obtained through the transactions specified above necessary to satisfy the relevant amount owing on the Securities.
3. Trustee and Agents
Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon shall act as trustee (the “Trustee”), Co-Registrar, Principal Paying Agent and Transfer Agent.

4. Indenture
IRSA originally issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of July 8, 2022 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Indenture”), among IRSA, the Trustee and the Representative of the Trustee in Argentina. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of those terms. Each Holder by accepting a Security, agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Indenture, as amended or supplemented from time to time.
The Securities are senior unsecured obligations of IRSA. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and without the consent of the Holders, IRSA may issue Additional Securities. All Securities shall be treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. The Indenture imposes certain limitations, subject to certain exceptions, on, among other things, the ability of IRSA to incur additional Indebtedness, make Restricted Payments, incur in certain Liens, enter into certain Affiliate transactions, or consolidate or merge or transfer or convey all or substantially all of IRSA’s assets.

Redemption for Taxation Reasons
The Securities may be redeemed at IRSA’s option in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 5 nor more than 60 days’ written notice (which will be irrevocable) to the Trustee and the Holders and, if applicable, the CNV, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with any accrued but unpaid interest and any Additional Amounts to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder) of Argentina or any other jurisdiction in which IRSA is organized or is resident for tax purposes or through which payment on the Securities is made, or any political subdivision thereof or any authority therein (each, an “Applicable Jurisdiction”), or any change in the application, administration or official interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, including, without limitation, the holding of a court of competent jurisdiction (a “Change in Tax Law”), IRSA has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts on or in respect of the Securities, which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective on or after the date of issuance of the Securities, and IRSA determines in good faith that such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to IRSA (provided that reasonable measures shall not include changing IRSA’s jurisdiction of organization or the location of IRSA’s principal executive office or incurring any cost or expense that XXXX xxxxx in good faith to be material). Prior to the distribution of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, IRSA will deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that IRSA has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law, and that such obligation cannot be avoided by IRSA taking reasonable measures available to IRSA and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel qualified under the laws of Argentina to the effect that IRSA is or would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee will be entitled to accept such certificate and opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent contained in the second preceding sentence, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Securities. In all cases Holders of the Securities shall be treated on an equal basis.
Optional Make-Whole Redemption
Prior to June 22, 2025, (the “First Call Date”) IRSA may, at its option, redeem the Securities, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities and (2) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest thereon (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
A-9 |
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by IRSA in accordance with the following two paragraphs:
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by IRSA after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, IRSA shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the First Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the First Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.
If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, IRSA shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the First Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the First Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the First Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the First Call Date and one with a maturity date following the First Call Date, IRSA shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the First Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the First Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, IRSA shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semiannual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
A-10 |
XXXX’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate or verify any calculation of the redemption price.

Redemption Procedures
If IRSA is redeeming less than all of the Securities at any time, Securities in global form to be redeemed shall be selected for redemption in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC, or, in the case of Securities in certificated form, the Trustee will select the Securities to be redeemed (a) if the Securities are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed or (b) on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable.
Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at least 5 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date (or, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date in the event of a redemption as described in Section 3.21(f) of the Indenture) to each Holder of Securities at such Holder’s registered address (or, in the case of Securities in global form, given electronically in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC), except that redemption notices may be given more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Securities or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture.

The Co-Registrar shall be entitled to request such evidence reasonably satisfactory to it documenting the identity and/or signatures of the transferor and the transferee. The Co-Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange (i) any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) for a period beginning 15 days before the giving of a notice of Securities to be redeemed and ending on the date of such notice or (ii) any Securities for a period beginning 15 days before a Payment Date and ending on such Payment Date.
8. Persons Deemed Owners
The registered Holder of this Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
9. Unclaimed Money
If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to IRSA at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person. After any such payment, Holders entitled to the money must look only to IRSA and not to the Trustee for payment.
A-12 |
10. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity
Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, IRSA at any time may terminate some or all of its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if IRSA deposits with the Trustee U.S. Dollars and/or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.
11. Amendment, Waiver
(a) Without the consent of any Holder, IRSA, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Trustee may, among other things, supplement the Indenture or the Securities to add to the covenants of IRSA further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon IRSA; to evidence the succession for another Person to IRSA and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants and obligations of IRSA in the Securities and in the Indenture; to comply with any requirements of the CNV, XXXX, XXX or the SEC in specific cases; to conform the text of the Indenture to the “Description of the New Notes” in the Exchange Offer Memorandum; to make modifications which are minor or technical nature, or correcting or supplementing any ambiguous, inconsistent or defective provision; or to make any other changes which do not adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders in any material respect.
(b) Pursuant to and in accordance with the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities and (ii) any Default or Event of Default under the Indenture may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may refuse to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives indemnity and/or security reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

No past, present or future incorporator, director, officer, employee, shareholder or controlling person, as such, of IRSA, shall have any liability for any obligations of IRSA under the Securities, or the Indenture or for any claims based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Holder waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.

The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

5. Optional Redemption
Redemption for Taxation Reasons
The Securities may be redeemed at IRSA’s option in whole, but not in part, at any time, on giving not less than 5 nor more than 60 days’ written notice (which will be irrevocable) to the Trustee and the Holders and, if applicable, the CNV, at 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with any accrued but unpaid interest and any Additional Amounts to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, if, as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder) of Argentina or any other jurisdiction in which IRSA is organized or is resident for tax purposes or through which payment on the Securities is made, or any political subdivision thereof or any authority therein (each, an “Applicable Jurisdiction”), or any change in the application, administration or official interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, including, without limitation, the holding of a court of competent jurisdiction (a “Change in Tax Law”), IRSA has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts on or in respect of the Securities, which change or amendment is announced and becomes effective on or after the date of issuance of the Securities, and IRSA determines in good faith that such obligation cannot be avoided by taking reasonable measures available to IRSA (provided that reasonable measures shall not include changing IRSA’s jurisdiction of organization or the location of IRSA’s principal executive office or incurring any cost or expense that XXXX xxxxx in good faith to be material). Prior to the distribution of any notice of redemption pursuant to this paragraph, IRSA will deliver to the Trustee (i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that IRSA has or will become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law, and that such obligation cannot be avoided by IRSA taking reasonable measures available to IRSA and (ii) an opinion of independent legal counsel qualified under the laws of Argentina to the effect that IRSA is or would become obligated to pay Additional Amounts as a result of a Change in Tax Law. The Trustee will be entitled to accept such certificate and opinion of counsel as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent contained in the second preceding sentence, in which event it will be conclusive and binding on the Holders of the Securities. In all cases Holders of the Securities shall be treated on an equal basis.
Optional Make-Whole Redemption
Prior to June 22, 2025, (the “First Call Date”) IRSA may, at its option, redeem the Securities, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Securities and (2) the sum of the present values of each remaining scheduled payment of principal and interest thereon (excluding accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by IRSA in accordance with the following two paragraphs:
B-9 |
The Treasury Rate shall be determined by IRSA after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily) - H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, IRSA shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the First Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the First Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.
If on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer published, IRSA shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Redemption Date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the First Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the First Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the First Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the First Call Date and one with a maturity date following the First Call Date, IRSA shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the First Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the First Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, IRSA shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semiannual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.
XXXX’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate or verify any calculation of the redemption price.

9. Unclaimed Money
If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to IRSA at its request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person.
