recently announced decision to raise Argentina&#146;s LC and FC ceilings&#150;which indicate the highest rating level that generally can be assigned to the financially strongest obligations of issuers domiciled in a country&#150;was based on
improved economic policy predictability and consistency, which have significantly reduced monetary and fiscal imbalances. The government has eased restrictions on crossborder payments and foreign exchange convertibility, increasing FC liquidity
despite low capital account openness. Additionally, the government&#146;s reduced intervention in the economy suggests a lower risk of transfer and convertibility issues, which reduces the chance of those risks affecting banks&#146; FC obligations
repayment capacity. </P>

rating of these issuers in relation to the sovereign ratings in line with Moody&#146;s Rating Methodology &#147;Assessing the Impact of Sovereign Credit Quality on Other Ratings&#148; published on June&nbsp;20, 2019, and available on <FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Arcor S.A.I.C.&#146;s (Arcor) rating is supported by its position as one of the largest producers of sweets globally and a leading local manufacturer of
cookies, processed food and corrugated cardboard; strong diversification in terms of revenue and assets abroad, which include plants, distribution centers and commercial offices; solid access to local and foreign capital markets; and conservative
financial policy. The rating is mainly constrained by the company&#146;s high exposure to Argentina as the main operating market; and moderate exposure to foreign currency risk. Arcor&#146;s rating also reflects our view that the company&#146;s
creditworthiness cannot be completely delinked from the credit quality of the Government of Argentina (Ca stable) and, thus, the rating needs to closely reflect the risk that the company shares with the sovereign. The stable outlook on Arcor&#146;s
ratings reflects our expectation that the company&#146;s credit metrics and operations will remain solid through the next <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">12-18</FONT> months. Also, Arcor&#146;s creditworthiness cannot be completely <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">de-linked</FONT> from the credit quality of the Argentine government, and thus its ratings and outlook also incorporate the risks that it shares with the sovereign, in line with our cross-sector rating methodology

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Pan American Energy, S.L. &#145;s (PAE) credit profile is supported by its status as the second-largest integrated oil and gas producer and one of the
largest exporters of hydrocarbons in Argentina, with a sound market position and financial and operating performance; good foreign-currency liquidity; and sizable exports. PAE also has exploration, development and production interests in Bolivia and
Mexico, and renewable power generation projects in Argentina and Brazil. PAE&#146;s main subsidiary is Pan American Energy, S.L., Argentine Branch (PAE Argentine branch), which typically accounts for around 87% of PAE&#146;s total oil and gas
production and holds PAE&#146;s refining assets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">PAE&#146;s strong sponsors, which provide certain operational advantages in terms of technical
knowledge, administrative practices and corporate governance policies, also support the rating. PAE is 50% owned by BP p.l.c. (BP, A1 stable) and 50% owned by BC Energy Investments Corp (BC, formerly known as Bridas Corporation). BC is a privately
owned oil and gas company, which is 50% owned by Bridas Energy Holdings Ltd. and 50% owned by CNOOC International LTD, a subsidiary of CNOOC Limited (CNOOC, A1 negative). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">Given PAE&#146;s high exposure to Argentina &#145;s business environment (88% of revenues as of fiscal-year 2023 were derived from operations in
Argentina), its rating reflects our view that PAE&#146;s creditworthiness cannot be completely <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">de-linked</FONT> from the credit quality of the Argentine government and, thus, the ratings need to closely reflect the
risk that the company shares with the sovereign. However, PAE&#146;s credit profile stands out among other Argentine companies because of the company&#146;s robust sponsors, sound credit metrics, and diverse income sources, including
Argentina&#146;s exports (contributing to 27% of revenues as of 2023) and operations across various countries. These elements, in conjunction with its substantial liquidity, enhance its ability to handle foreign currency debt. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">PAE&#146;s ratings are mainly constrained by its geographic concentration of assets and operations in Argentina, although this is partially mitigated by
some assets and operations in Bolivia, Mexico and Brazil, and by sales diversification through exports. The company is also exposed to regulatory risks within Argentina&#146;s local hydrocarbon market. Additionally, the company is vulnerable to the
volatility of energy commodity prices. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:ARIAL" ALIGN="justify">PAE&#146;s stable outlook reflects the company&#146;s solid credit metrics for its rating category and good
liquidity. However, PAE&#146;s creditworthiness cannot be completely <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">de-linked</FONT> from the credit quality of the Argentine government, from which it generates the bulk of its revenue, and thus its ratings and
outlook incorporate the risks that it shares with the sovereign, in line with our cross-sector rating methodology, Assessing the Impact of Sovereign Credit Quality on Other Ratings, published in June 2019. </P>

resilience to the underlying macroeconomic conditions in its key markets, with a particular focus on Argentina. This resilience can be exemplified through a strategic expansion and diversification of Arcor&#146;s operations outside of Argentina.
