As previously announced, IRSA received 2020 Notes Consents from holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes to adopt the 2020 Notes Proposed Amendments to the 2020 Notes Indenture. The adoption of the 2020 Notes Proposed Amendments required the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes then outstanding represented and voting at a meeting of the holders of such 2020 Notes convened and at which a quorum is present in accordance with the 2020 Notes Indenture and applicable law. A meeting of the holders of the 2020 Notes was held on March 23, 2016 at which a quorum was present and the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes then outstanding affirmatively voted to approve the 2020 Notes Proposed Amendments. On March 28, 2016, IRSA and the trustee under the 2020 Notes Indenture executed a supplemental indenture to reflect the 2020 Notes Proposed Amendments, which will become operative concurrently with the acceptance of and payment for all 2020 Notes that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Tender Offer for the 2020 Notes. IRSA intends to waive the 2020 Notes Tender Cap.

IRSA also announced today that it has received 2017 Notes Consents from holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes to adopt the 2017 Notes Proposed Amendments to the 2017 Notes Indenture. The adoption of the 2017 Notes Proposed Amendments requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes then outstanding represented and voting at a meeting of the holders of such 2017 Notes convened and at which a quorum is present in accordance with the 2017 Notes Indenture and applicable law. The meeting of the holders of the 2017 Notes called for March 23, 2016 was not held because a quorum was not present. A second call meeting of the holders of the 2017 Notes has been called for April 7, 2016. If a quorum is present and the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the 2017 Notes then outstanding affirmatively vote to approve the 2017 Notes Proposed Amendments, IRSA intends to execute a supplemental indenture to reflect the 2017 Notes Proposed Amendments immediately thereafter. Such supplemental indenture will only become operative concurrently with the acceptance of and payment for all 2017 Notes that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Tender Offer for the 2017 Notes.

As previously announced, IRSA CP did not receive IRSA CP Consents from holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the IRSA CP Notes to adopt the IRSA CP Notes Proposed Amendments to the IRSA CP Notes Indenture. The adoption of the IRSA CP Notes Proposed Amendments required the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the IRSA CP Notes then outstanding represented and voting at a meeting of the holders of such IRSA CP Notes convened and at which a quorum was present in accordance with the IRSA CP Notes Indenture and applicable law. The meeting of the holders of the IRSA CP Notes called for March 23, 2016 was not held because a quorum was not present. A second call meeting of the holders of the IRSA CP Notes was called for April 7, 2016, but IRSA CP does not expect a quorum to be present at such meeting and, accordingly, intends to cancel such meeting. Accordingly, IRSA CP does not anticipate executing a supplemental indenture to the IRSA CP Notes Indenture to reflect the IRSA CP Notes Proposed Amendments.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offers set forth in the Offer Documents, all 2020 Notes and IRSA CP Notes (other than IRSA CP Notes purchased on March 28, 2016 pursuant to the Tender Offer for the IRSA CP Notes) validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the 2020 Notes and IRSA CP Notes Expiration Time, and all 2017 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the 2017 Notes Expiration Time, have been accepted for purchase and will be paid in full by the Purchasers on the Final Settlement Date. All holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their 2020 Notes or IRSA CP Notes at any time at or prior to the 2020 Notes and IRSA CP Notes Expiration Time will receive the applicable consideration described above. All holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their 2017 Notes at any time at or prior to the 2017 Notes Expiration Time will receive the applicable consideration described above.
