The Special Merger Balance Sheet and the Consolidated Merger Balance Sheet are as of June 30, 2014 and the effective date for such merger will be October 1, 2014.

Currently, Banco Galicia owns 99.99% of the capital stock of Galicia Cayman S.A. and has a call option for 0.01% of the remaining capital stock.
