1. Financial Situation

On August 17th, 2021, as expected, Transener canceled the remaining amount of US$ 86.0 million of Class 2 Notes at 9.75% and the corresponding accrued interests.

As of December 31st, 2021, Transener maintains a principal balance of AR$ 861.1 from the loan for working capital of AR$ 1,000 million, entered into with the Banco de la Nación Argentina in July 2021. The term is 3 years, at BADLAR plus 8%, the principal amortization is in monthly and consecutive installments by the German amortization system, payable as from August 2021. To meet the bank's requirements, the Company's Board of Directors agreed not to make proposals to the General Meeting of Shareholders, during the term in which the loan is pending of cancellation, relating to dividends distribution using the reserves, and in case that these reserves are affected by losses, not to distribute profits until the reserves are reestablished to current amounts.

Regarding Transener's ratings, as a consequence of the cancellation of the Class 2 Notes, S&P Global Ratings improved the global rating of "CCC-" to "CCC+", with a negative outlook, and discontinued the local rating for not having instruments requiring qualification. Afterwards, the Company decided to discontinue the global and local risk rating carried out by S&P Global Ratings.

On the other hand, FIX SCR S.A. Credit Rating Agency maintained the long-term issuer rating of A+ (arg) with stable outlook.

2. Tariff Situation

On December 23rd, 2019, the Solidarity Law entered into effect, establishing that the tariff schemes for electricity under federal jurisdiction would not have updates, with the possibility of initiating an extraordinary review of the current Full Tariff Review (FTR), for a term not exceeding 180 days.

During the year 2020, the ENRE did not apply the semiannual tariff adjustments according to the FTR, remaining effective the updated tariff scheme as of August 2019.

On December 16th, 2020, the Executive issued Decree No. 1020/20, initiating the renegotiation of the current FTR for the public service of natural gas and electricity transportation and distribution, under federal jurisdiction. This process cannot exceed 2 years. Taking into consideration public interest reasons, the current FTR agreements must be suspended until these reviews come to an end. The ENRE or ENARGAS, and the Economy Ministry will enter into the transitional and definitive agreements ad referendum of the Executive. Likewise, the abovementioned period of 180 days without tariff scheme updates was extended for 90 days or until the new transitional tariff schemes come into force.

On January 19th, 2021, under Resolution No. 17/21, the ENRE initiated the proceedings for the transitory settlement of the public service of transportation tariff, in order to determine a Transitional Tariff Scheme until the Definitive Renegotiation Agreement is achieved. The Company received an information requirement to initiate this process, which the Company has already complied with, prioritizing the operating and administrative expenses and capital expenditures necessary to maintain the quality of the service.

On March 3rd, 2021, under Resolutions No. 54/21 and 55/21, the ENRE called for a public hearing on March 29th, 2021, in order to inform and receive opinions regarding the Transitional Tariff Scheme of Transener and Transba, respectively, within the FTR Renegotiation Process and with prior character to the tariff definition.

On April 14th, 2021, the Closing of the Public Hearings Report was published in the Official Bulletin, continuing the negotiations with the ENRE in order to achieve a Transitional Renegotiation Agreement of the FTR.

On January 26th, 2022, under published Resolution No. 25/22 in the Official Bulletin, the ENRE called a new public hearing on February 17th, 2022, in order to negotiate, among other matters, the proposals from the companies of electric transportation for tariff updating, due to the lack of any tariff update since August 2019.

On February 25th, 2022, under Resolutions No. 68/22 and No. 69/22, the ENRE approved the new tariff scheme from February 1st, 2022, establishing an increase of 25% for Transener and 23% for Transba, applicable to the values of August 2019. Considering the difference between the Financial and Economic Projections filed before the ENRE and the granted tariff amounts, the Company requested access to the file and a preliminary challenge. The Company will appeal the aforementioned resolutions.

3. The Impact of COVID - 19 in Argentina

As of the date of presentation of this report, Decree No. 867/21 extends the health emergency until December 31st, 2022. Nevertheless, the opening of activities and flexibilities continue along with social care measures in accordance with public health, as a consequence of an improvement in vaccination levels and in the epidemiological situation.

It is not possible to anticipate how the impact of COVID-19 will continue to affect the economy, in general, and the Company, in particular, and to what extent the Company's business and the results of its operations will be affected in the future. However, given its current low debt situation, the Company estimates that it will be able to continue meeting its financial commitments for the next twelve months.

The Company's management permanently monitors the variables that affect its business, to define its course of action and identify the potential impact on its equity and financial situation.
