NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019

(Stated in thousands of pesos)

1. | General information

1.1. Information on Banco BBVA Argentina S.A.

Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. (hereinafter, either “BBVA Argentina”, the “Entity” or the “Bank”) is a corporation (“sociedad anónima”) incorporated under the laws of Argentina, operating as a universal bank with a network of 251 national branches.

Since December 1996, BBVA Argentina is part of the global strategy of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A. (BBVA or the “Parent”), which directly and indirectly controls the Entity, by holding 66.55% of the share capital as of December 31, 2019.

On April 24, 2019, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved the Entity’s change of corporate name to “BBVA Argentina S.A.”. However, pursuant to a requirement from the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) and upon the consent granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting, the Board of Directors, at a meeting held on May 28, 2019, resolved to adopt the name “Banco BBVA Argentina S.A.” On July 25, 2019, the BCRA served notice of the approval of the change of corporate name by way of Resolution No. 166. On September 18, 2019, the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) submitted the proceedings related to the Entity’s by-laws amendment and restatement to the Argentine Superintendence of Corporations (IGJ) for registration. On October 17, 2019, the IGJ registered the Entity’s change of corporate name and the restatement of its by-laws under No. 21332 of Book 97, “Corporations” volume. On November 4, 2019, the Argentine Central Bank (BCRA) issued the related Communication “C” 85251, giving notice of the Entity’s new corporate name.

These financial statements include the Entity and its subsidiary companies (collectively referred to as the “Group”).

Pursuant to certain amendments to shareholders’ agreements, effective since July 1, 2019, the Bank has taken over the power to direct the relevant activities of PSA Finance Argentina Compañía Financiera S.A., and Volkswagen Financial Services Compañía Financiera S.A. Considering the guidelines set out under International Financial Reporting Standard No. 10 (IFRS No. 10), the Entity concluded that it has power on such companies effective since the aforementioned date. Therefore, these financial statements include consolidated information with these companies since the date on which the Entity has taken over control over them.

The Entity’s subsidiaries are listed below:

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | BBVA Asset Management Argentina S.A. Sociedad Gerente de Fondos Comunes de Inversión: corporation incorporated under the laws of Argentina as an agent for the management of mutual funds. On January 23, 2020, the company’s new corporate name was registered with the Public Registry of Commerce under No. 1411, Book 98.

| • |  | Consolidar Administradora de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings): corporation incorporated under the laws of Argentina undergoing liquidation proceedings. On December 4, 2008, Law No. 26425 was enacted, providing for the elimination and replacement of the capitalization regime that was part of the Integrated Retirement and Pension System, with a single pay-as-you go system named the Argentine Integrated Retirement and Pensions System (SIPA). Consequently, Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. ceased to manage the resources that were part of the individual capitalization accounts of affiliates and beneficiaries of the capitalization regime of the Integrated Retirement and Pension System, which were transferred to the Guarantee Fund for the Sustainability of the Argentine Retirement and Pension Regime as they were already invested, and the Argentine Social Security Office (ANSES) is now the sole and exclusive owner of those assets and rights. Likewise, on October 29, 2009, the ANSES issued Resolution No. 290/2009, whereby retirement and pension funds managers interested in reconverting their corporate purpose to manage the funds for voluntary contributions and deposits held by participants in their capitalization accounts had 30 business days to express their intention to that end. On December 28, 2009, based on the foregoing and taking into consideration that it is impossible for Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. to comply with the corporate purpose for which it was incorporated, it was resolved, at a Unanimous General and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting to approve the dissolution and subsequent liquidation of that company effective as of December 31, 2009.

| • |  | PSA Finance Argentina Compañía Financiera S.A.: a financial company incorporated under the laws of Argentina engaged in the granting of pledge loans; and

| • |  | Volkswagen Financial Services Compañía Financiera S.A.: a financial company incorporated under the laws of Argentina engaged in the granting of pledge loans.

Argentine Capital Markets Law No. 26831, enacted on December 28, 2012 and amended by Law No. 27440 dated May 11, 2018, subsequently regulated through General Resolution No. 622/13 and General Resolution No. 731/2018 issued by the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV), establishes in Section 47 that agents have an obligation to register with the CNV, to act in the market in any of the capacities set forth in such law. On September 9 and 19, 2014, the Entity was registered as an Agent for the Custody of Mutual Funds under No. 4 and as a Comprehensive Clearing and Settlement Agent under No. 42. On August 7, 2014, the subsidiary BBVA Asset Management Argentina S.A. Sociedad Gerente de Fondos Comunes de Inversión was registered as a Mutual Fund Agent under No. 3.

1.2. Economic context

The future development of Argentina’s macroeconomic conditions is somewhat uncertain as a consequence of the volatility of financial assets, and certain laws and regulations recently enacted by the new national government, affecting the foreign exchange market, the projected future changes in interest rates, and inflation levels. In fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, cumulative inflation was 53.8%.

In particular, and concerning financial assets, the Argentine Government issued Decree No. 596/2019 dated August 28, 2019, putting off the maturity of short-term securities (Letes, Lecap, Lecer, and Lelink). Furthermore, by means of Decree No. 49/2019 dated December 19, 2019, the Argentine Government put off the repayment of US-dollar denominated Treasury Bills until August 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2019, the Entity holds national securities subject to restructuring for an aggregate amount of 8,661,041. These securities are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and were recognized for a lower amount of 4,801,364 to reflect the decline in prices.

On September 1, 2019, the Argentine Government published Executive Decree No. 609/2019 setting forth extraordinary and interim guidelines concerning the foreign exchange market. In addition, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6770, as amended, whereby, among other measures, it provided that up to and including December 31, 2019, the BCRA’s previous consent will be required to access the foreign exchange market for the remittance of profits and dividends, payment of services to foreign related companies, and early payment of financial debts (principal or interest) over three business days before their due date. Then, on December 30, 2109, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6856, establishing that the preceding provisions would remain in force on and after December 31, 2019.

Against this backdrop, on December 23, 2019, the Public Emergency, Social Solidarity and Productive Revival Law (the “Economic Emergency Law”) was published in the Official Gazette, declaring Argentina in economic, financial, administrative, social security, energy, public health and social emergency until December 31, 2020. On December 28, 2019, the Argentine Government also published Executive Decree No. 99/2019 setting forth the implementing regulations to the Economic Emergency Law including, among other things, several changes to address economic, financial, tax, administrative, social security, energy, public health, and social issues, and utility rates.

The Economic Emergency Law has also put off until December 31, 2021 the reduction in the income tax rate (see Note 15) and the application of 2017 Fiscal Covenant, which established a gradual decrease in turnover tax until December 31, 2020.

The Entity’s management monitors the development of these events on an ongoing basis in order to define the potential actions to be taken and identify their potential impacts on its financial position.

2. | Basis for the preparation of the Financial Statements

These financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 were prepared pursuant to the reporting framework set forth by the BCRA that requires supervised entities to submit financial statements prepared pursuant to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), with the following exceptions (“financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA”):

| a) | application of the impairment model set forth in Section 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS No. 9 “Financial instruments” until the fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020. On December 5, 2018, the Entity filed with the BCRA the impairment model to be applied within the framework of IFRS No. 9 as from January 1, 2020. On December 27, 2019, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6847 establishing that debt instruments issued by the non-financial public sector would be subject to the temporary exemption from adopting paragraph 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9;

| b) | application of International Accounting Standard No. 29 (IAS 29) “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies,” which shall be applicable for the fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, taking into consideration the provisions of Communication “A” 6651 issued by the BCRA (see Note 3.2);

| c) | the standards prescribed through Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the regulatory entity on May 29, 2017 regarding the treatment to be applied to uncertain tax positions. Had the IFRS treatment regarding uncertain tax positions been applied, liabilities would have decreased by 5,447,078 and 2,207,318 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Likewise, income/(loss) for fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 would have increased by 3,239,760 and 1,021,518, respectively (Note 15.c), and

| d) | the instructions provided in Memorandum No. 7/2019 issued by the BCRA on April 29, 2019, which set forth the accounting treatment to be applied to the remaining investment held by the Entity in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. recorded under “Investments in Equity Instruments” as of December 31, 2019 (see Note 16).

The exceptions described above imply a deviation from IFRS.

The significant accounting policies applied by the Entity are described in Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements.

Furthermore, the BCRA, through Communications “A” 6323 and 6324 set forth guidelines for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements of financial institutions for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, including the additional reporting requirements as well as the information to be submitted as Exhibits.

These financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors of Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. as of February18, 2020.

3. | Functional and presentation currency and Unit of account

3.1. Functional and presentation currency

The Group considers the Argentine Peso as the functional and presentation currency. All amounts are stated in thousands of pesos, unless otherwise stated.

3.2. Unit of account

IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be stated in the measuring unit current at the reporting period end. The standard sets out certain factors to be considered in order to conclude whether an economy qualifies as hyperinflationary, including the existence of a cumulative inflation rate over the last three years close to, or in excess of, 100%.

As a result of the increase in inflation that has been experienced in the first months of fiscal year 2018, there has been consensus on the fact that the Argentine economy would qualify as a hyperinflationary economy according to the guidelines set forth under IAS 29. This consensus implies the need to apply IAS 29 in preparing financial statements under IFRS for annual and interim periods commencing on or after July 1, 2018.

IAS 29 sets forth that the financial statements of an entity with a functional currency of a high inflationary economy shall be restated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, regardless of whether the financial statements are based on a historical cost or current cost approach. For such purposes, monetary items shall not be restated, non-monetary items shall be restated by applying the variation of a general price index between the date of acquisition or the date of revaluation and the date of the financial statements to be submitted. The components of shareholders’ equity, except accumulated income/(loss) and surplus of appreciation of assets, shall be restated by applying the general price index to the various items between the date of contribution, or between the date of acquisition for any other cause and the date of the financial statements to be submitted. Income and expenses for the period shall be adjusted by applying the general price index between the date those items were acquired and the date of the financial statements to be submitted.

Furthermore, the figures for the preceding fiscal years or periods presented for comparative purposes shall be restated.

As mentioned in Note 2, the application of the guidelines in IAS 29 is exempted and shall be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020 as set forth by the BCRA through Communications “A” 6651 and “A” 6778 issued on February 22, 2019 and December 27, 2019, respectively, and therefore the Group does not and shall not restate its financial statements until the date referred to above.

The financial statements as of December 31, 2019 of the subsidiaries BBVA Asset Management Argentina S.A. and Consolidar Administradora de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings) were prepared in constant currency in accordance with the provisions of Resolution 107/18 of the Professional Council of Economic Sciences of the City of Buenos Aires

##### Table of Contents

(CPCECABA), which state the need to restate in constant currency financial statements for fiscal years ended on or after July 1, 2018, in accordance with JG Resolution No. 539/18 issued by the Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (FACPCE) on September 29, 2018. For the purposes of the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA, the Entity has made the necessary adjustments to eliminate the inflation restatement in the consolidation process.

The existence of such inflationary economic environment affects the Group’s financial position and results of operations. Therefore, the impact of inflation may distort the financial information and should be taken into consideration in understanding the Group’s information reported in these financial statements about its financial position, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows.

Accordingly, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the fiscal years then ended, the Entity estimated the impact of the restatement into constant currency on its financial statements, which would result in an increase in shareholders’ equity of 11,148,000 and 10,707,295, respectively, and a decrease in income of 23,935,000 and 17,090,946, respectively.

4. | Accounting estimates and judgments

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors has to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

The related estimates and assumptions are based on expectations and other factors deemed reasonable, the result of which are the basis for the judgments on the value of assets and liabilities, which are not readily obtained from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The underlying estimates and assumptions are continuously under review. The effect of the review of accounting estimates is recognized prospectively.

4.1. Judgments

The information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is described in Note 5 “Significant accounting policies” under the following headings:

| • |  | Note 5.1. – Determination of the “Basis of consolidation” regarding the existence of control of other entities

| • |  | Note 5.4.b) – “Classification of financial assets”

| • |  | Note 5.4.f) – “Impairment of financial assets”

| • |  | Note 5.17.a) – “Contracts containing a lease”

4.2. Assumptions and estimation of uncertainties

Information about assumptions and estimation of uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to these consolidated financial statements is included in the following notes:

| • |  | Note 43 b.3 – “Valuation techniques for Levels 2 and 3”

| • |  | Nota 5.12 – “Provisions”, regarding the likelihood and scope of outflow of resources

| • |  | Notes 11, 12 and 13 – “Other financial assets”, “Loans and other financing” and “Other debt securities” regarding the impairment of financial assets

| • |  | Note 15 – “Income tax,” regarding availability of future taxable profit against which deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions may be used.

4.3 Measurements at fair value

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

When available, the Group measures the fair value of a financial instrument using the quoted price in an active market. A market is considered active if transactions take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Group uses valuation techniques maximizing the use of relevant market inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. The choice of a valuation technique includes all factors market participants would take into consideration for the purposes of setting the price of the transaction.

Fair values are categorized into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the input data used in the measurement techniques, as follows:

| • |  | Level 1: quoted prices in active markets (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities.

| • |  | Level 2: valuation models using observable market data as significant inputs.

| • |  | Level 3: valuation models using unobservable market data as significant inputs.

5. | Significant accounting policies

Except as indicated in Notes 5.17 and 5.18, the Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies for the fiscal years presented in these consolidated financial statements.

These financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 have been prepared pursuant to the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA.

##### Table of Contents

5.1. Basis of consolidation:

a) Subsidiaries:

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities, if any) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity if it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. At each period-end, the Group reassesses whether it has control if there are changes to one or more of the elements of control.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

The financial statements of subsidiaries were prepared as of the same dates and for the same fiscal years as those of Banco BBVA Argentina S.A., consistently applying accounting policies in line with those the Bank relies on.

The Entity gave notices to the BCRA dated April 22, 2019 and January 14, 2020 about the progress made to have its subsidiaries consolidated for financial reporting purposes, pursuant to IFRS 10.

Pursuant to certain amendments to shareholders’ agreements, effective since July 1, 2019, the Bank has taken over the power to direct the relevant activities of PSA Finance Argentina Compañía Financiera S.A., and Volkswagen Financial Services Compañía Financiera S.A. Considering the guidelines set out under IFRS 10, the Entity has concluded that it has power on such companies effective since the aforementioned date. Therefore, these financial statements include consolidated information with these companies since the date the Entity has taken control over them.

b) Non-controlling interests

Non-controlling interests are the portion of profit or loss and shareholders’ equity which do not belong to the Group and are disclosed as a separate line in the Consolidated Statement of Income, the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.

c) Trusts

The Group acts as a trustee for financial, management and guarantee trusts (see Note 54). Upon determining if the Group controls the trusts, the Group has analyzed the existence of control, under the terms of IFRS 10. Consequently, how power is configured on the relevant activities of the vehicle, the impact of changes in returns over those Structured Entities on the Group, and the relation of both have been evaluated on a case by case basis. In all cases, it has been concluded that the Group acts as an agent and therefore does not consolidate those trusts.

d) Mutual funds

The Group acts as fund manager in various mutual funds (see Note 55). To determine whether the Group controls a mutual fund, the aggregate economic interest of the Group in such mutual fund (comprising any carried interests and expected management fees) is usually assessed, and it is considered that investors have no right to remove the fund manager without cause. In cases where the economic interest is less than 37%, the Group concludes it acts as an agent for the investors and therefore does not consolidate those mutual funds.

e) Loss of control

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, as well as any related non-controlling interest and other components of equity.

Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

f) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

g) Business combinations

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method, when control is transferred to the Group. Generally, the consideration transferred upon a business acquisition is measured at fair value, similarly to the net identifiable assets acquired. The Group also relies on the acquisition method to account for business combinations with no consideration transferred. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis. Any income from the acquisition under too favorable conditions is charged to income. Transactions costs are accounted for as expenses when incurred, except for those related to the issuance of debt or equity instruments.

5.2. Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currency of Group entities at the spot exchange rates published by the BCRA at the date of the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the spot exchange rate at the reporting date.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the spot exchange rate at the date on which the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the spot exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange rate differences are recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the line “Foreign exchange and gold gains/ (losses)”.

5.3. Cash and deposits in banks

The item “Cash and cash equivalents” includes cash and unrestricted balances kept with the BCRA and on-demand accounts held at local and foreign financial institutions.

5.4. Financial assets and liabilities

a) Recognition

The Group initially recognizes loans, deposits, debt securities issued and liabilities at the date of origination. All other financial instruments (including ordinary purchase and sale of financial assets) are recognized on the date of negotiation, that is to say, the date when the Group becomes part of the instrument’s contractual provisions.

The Group recognizes purchases of financial instruments with the commitment of non-optional repurchase at a certain price (repos) as a financing granted in the line “Repo transactions” in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The difference between the purchase and sale prices of those instruments is recorded as interest accrued during the term of the transactions using the effective interest method and is accounted for in the line “Interest income” in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. Instruments not measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized at fair value plus (in the case of assets) or less (in the case of liabilities) the transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset or the issuance of the liability.

The transaction price is usually the best evidence of fair value at initial recognition.

However, if the Group determines that the fair value at initial recognition is different from the consideration received or paid, when the level of the fair value is hierarchy is 1 or 2, the financial instrument is initially recognized at fair value and the difference is recognized in profit or loss. If the level of the fair value hierarchy at initial recognition is 3, the difference between the fair value and the consideration is deferred over the term of the instrument.

b) Classification of financial assets

On initial recognition, financial assets are classified and measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) or fair value through profit or loss.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions:

| 1. | the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

| 2. | the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are “solely payments of principal and interest.”

A financial asset is measured at fair value through OCI only if it meets both of the following conditions:

| • |  | the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

| • |  | the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows that are “solely payments of principal and interest.”

##### Table of Contents

On initial recognition of an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Group may, for each individual instrument, present subsequent changes in fair value in OCI.

All other financial assets are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss. This category includes derivative financial instruments.

The Group makes an assessment of the objective of a business model in which an asset is held at a portfolio level. The information considered includes:

| • |  | the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. In particular, whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest revenue;

| • |  | how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group’s management;

| • |  | the risks that affect the performance of the business model and how those risks are managed;

| • |  | how managers of the business are compensated – e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and

| • |  | the frequency, volume and timing of sales in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and its expectations about future sales activity. However, information about sales activity is not considered in isolation, but as part of an overall assessment of how the Group’s stated objective for managing the financial assets is achieved.

Financial assets that are held for trading or managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

In the assessment on whether contractual cash flows are “solely payments of principal and interest”, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition.

Financial assets are not reclassified after their initial recognition, except for a change in the Group’s business models.

c) Classification of financial liabilities

The Group classifies its financial liabilities, other than derivatives, guarantees issued and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss as measured at amortized cost.

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial guarantees are contracts that require the Group to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss that it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when it is due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

The debt from financial guarantees issued is initially recognized at fair value. The debt is subsequently measured at the higher of the amortized amount and the present value of any expected payment to settle the liability when a payment under the contract has become probable.

##### Table of Contents

The Group recognizes sales of financial instruments with the commitment of non-optional repurchase at a certain price (repos) as a financing received in the line “Repo transactions” in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The difference between the purchase and sale prices of those instruments is recorded as interest accrued during the term of the transactions using the effective interest method and is accounted for in the line “Interest expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

d) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the consideration received and any recognized balance in OCI is recognized in profit or loss.

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. When an existing financial liability is replaced with another from the same borrower under significantly different conditions, or the conditions are substantially modified, said replacement or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference between both is charged to income.

e) Measurement at amortized cost

The amortized cost of a financial asset or liability is the amount of its initial recognition less the capital reimbursements, plus or less the amortization, using the effective interest method, of any difference between the initial amount and the amount at maturity. In the case of financial assets, it also includes any impairment adjustments (doubtful accounts).

f) Impairment of financial assets

As mentioned in Note 2, the BCRA established that financial institutions shall continue to apply the model for recognizing loan losses for financial assets in force as of December 31, 2017 set forth through Communication “A” 2950, as amended. Those regulations require that financial institutions:

| • |  | classify their debtors based on their “status” pursuant to the guidelines of the BCRA, and

| • |  | recognize an allowance for loan losses based on the minimum guidelines set forth by the BCRA, taking into consideration the debtor’s status and guarantees in force.

The BCRA requires customers of the “commercial portfolio” to be analyzed and classified individually. The commercial portfolio includes loans exceeding an amount set forth by the BCRA, and loans whose repayment is linked to the progress of the customer’s productive or commercial activity. The assessment of the debtor’s repayment capacity is based on the estimated cash flow based on updated financial information and industry parameters, taking into consideration other circumstances of the economic activity.

##### Table of Contents

The “consumer portfolio”, in turn, is analyzed globally, and debtors are classified based on the days in arrears recorded at each period-end. The consumer portfolio includes consumer loans, housing loans and loans up to an amount set forth by the BCRA whose repayment is not linked to a productive or commercial activity.

The “consumer-like portfolio” is, in turn, analyzed and classified based on the Consumer portfolio criteria, but includes commercial loans not exceeding the amount of financing set forth in the regulations issued by the BCRA.

Increases in the allowance for loan losses related to “Loans and other financing” are recognized in “Loan loss allowances” in the consolidated Statement of income.

The Group considers the effect that the application of Section 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9 would have on the financial statements, which was temporarily excluded by the BCRA from the accounting standards applicable to financial institutions, may be significant. As of the date of these financial statements, the Group is quantifying such effect.

g) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and their net amount is disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position if, and only if, the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts recognized and the intention to settle them on a net basis, or the intention to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Revenues and expenses are disclosed on a net basis only to the extent permitted by the IFRS, or otherwise to reflect profits or losses arising from a group of similar transactions.

5.5. Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has a significant influence but no control or joint control over financial and operating policies. A joint venture is an agreement whereby the Group has joint control, that is to say, the Group has a right over the net assets, rather than over the assets and liabilities, of the agreement.

Interests in associates are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognized at cost, which includes transaction costs. After initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share in the profit or loss and OCI of investments accounted for using the equity method, until the date when the significant influence or joint control cease.

5.6. Property and equipment

Property and equipment items are measured at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost includes the spot purchase price and expenses directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating as intended by management.

The Group has availed of the option under IFRS 1 to consider the fair value of all its real property as the deemed cost as of January 1, 2017. Fair value was assessed based on the appraisal carried out by an independent professional, applying the Level 3 valuation techniques. To do so, a market approach was used.

##### Table of Contents

Subsequent expenses are only capitalized if they are likely to provide future economic benefits for the Group.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, applying the necessary rates to extinguish the amounts at the end of the estimated useful life of the assets.

Depreciation methods and useful lives are reviewed at period-end and adjusted prospectively, if necessary.

5.7. Intangible assets

Intangible assets include the information systems costs of acquisition and implementation, which are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairments, if any.

Subsequent expenses related to information systems are only capitalized if the economic benefits of the related asset increase. All other expenses are recognized as a loss when incurred.

Information systems are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of 5 years.

Amortization methods, as well as the useful life assigned are reviewed at each closing date and adjusted prospectively, if applicable.

5.8. Goodwill

Goodwill is the difference between the total amount paid and the amount resulting from calculating the proportion of the capital acquired over the booked shareholders’ equity at the date of acquisition.

5.9. Other non-financial assets

a) Investment properties

Investment properties are measured at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. The cost includes the spot purchase price and expenses directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating as intended by management.

The Group has availed of the option under IFRS 1 to consider the fair value of all its investment property items as the deemed cost as of January 1, 2017. Fair value was assessed based on the appraisal carried out by an independent professional, applying the Level 3 valuation techniques. To do so, a market approach was used.

b) Assets acquired as security for loans

Assets acquired as security for loans are measured at fair value at the date on which the entity becomes the owner thereof, and any differences with the accounting balance of the related loan are recognized in profit or loss.

##### Table of Contents

5.10. Non-current assets held for sale

Non-current assets are classified as held for sale, if it is highly likely that they will be recovered, mainly through their sale, which is estimated to occur within twelve months following the date of their classification as such.

These assets or this group of assets is generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value less the cost of disposal.

When a property and equipment item is classified as “non-current assets held for sale,” depreciation is no longer applied.

5.11. Impairment of non-financial assets

At least at each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there are indications that a non-financial asset may be impaired (except deferred tax assets). If there is such an indication, the asset’s recoverable value is estimated.

For the impairment test, assets are grouped into the smallest group of assets generating cash inflows from their continuous use, which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or other cash generating units (CGU). The business goodwill acquired in business combinations is distributed to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The “recoverable value” of an asset or CGU is the highest of its value in use and its fair value less the cost of disposal. The “value in use” is based on estimated cash flows, discounted at their present value using the pre-tax interest rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

If the accounting balance of an asset (or CGU) is higher than its recoverable value, the asset (or CGU), is considered impaired and its carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable value and the difference is recognized in profit or loss.

Reversal of an impairment loss for goodwill is prohibited. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent the accounting value of the assets does not exceed the value they would have had if the impairment had not been recognized.

5.12. Provisions

The Group recognizes a provision if, as a result of a past event, there is a legal or implied obligation for an amount that can be reliably estimated and it is likely that an outflow of resources will be required to settle such obligation.

To assess provisions, the existing risks and uncertainties were considered, taking into consideration the opinion of the Group’s external and/or internal legal advisors. Based on the analysis carried out, the Group recognizes a provision for the amount considered as the best estimate of the potential expense necessary to settle the present obligation at each reporting date.

The provisions recognized by the Group are reviewed at each year-end date and are adjusted to reflect the best estimate available.

5.13. Personnel benefits

a) Short-term personnel benefits

Short-term personnel benefits are recognized in profit or loss when the employee provides the related service. A provision is recognized if the Group has the legal or implied obligation to do so, as a result of past services provided by the employee, to pay an amount that can be reliably estimated.

b) Other long-term personnel benefits

The Group’s obligation in relation to long term personnel benefits is equivalent to the amount of the future benefit the employees have earned in exchange for services provided during the reporting and prior periods. The benefit is discounted at present value. Changes in the measurement of the obligation are recognized in profit or loss.

c) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognized when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits.

5.14. Share capital

Incremental transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of common shares are recognized as a reduction in the contributions received, net of the related income tax.

5.15. Interest income and expenses

Interest income and expenses are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the rate whereby the contractual payment and collection cash flows are discounted during the expected lifetime of the financial instrument at the book value of the financial asset or liability.

The calculation of the effective interest rate includes transaction costs, commissions and other items paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs include incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of a financial asset or the issuance of a financial liability.

Interest income and expenses presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income include interest in respect of:

| • |  | financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost; and

| • |  | financial assets measured at fair value through OCI.

5.16. Commission income and expenses

This item contains income from commissions resulting from entering into contracts with customers and falling within the scope of IFRS 15.

##### Table of Contents

Commissions, fees and similar items that are part of a financial asset or liability’s effective interest rate are included in the measurement of the effective interest rate.

The breakdown of commission income is presented in Note 33 to these financial statements.

The Bank has a benefit program in place, whereby Latam Airlines miles are credited to enrolled customers. Since the obligation accrues when each eligible transaction is made by the customer (when the Group has the obligation to credit the miles to the customer and pay the equivalent amount to the airline), and the program is fully managed by that airline, once the miles are credited, the Bank has no further obligation related to the redemption of such miles.

All other commission income items, including service, mutual funds management, and loan syndication fees, and sales commissions, are recognized when the related service is rendered.

5.17. Leases

As of January 1, 2019, the Group has adopted IFRS 16 “Leases.” Said standard supersedes IAS 17 “Leases” and was adopted by the BCRA through Communication “A” 6560.

IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model, requiring that lessees recognize the asset related to the Right of use of the leased asset and a Lease liability representing the obligation to make lease payments. The Entity has opted to apply the exceptions related to the recognition of short-term leases and leases where the underlying asset is of low value.

As to the lessor’s accounting, IFRS 16 substantially keeps the requirements of IAS 17. Therefore, lessors continue classifying leases as operating or finance, and each of them is recognized differently.

The Group has opted to apply the modified retrospective method whereby the Right of use and the Lease liability determined as of January 1, 2019 are recognized. The Lease liability is determined as the current amount of future payments agreed, discounted at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as of such date. Besides, the Group has opted to measure the Right of use as of the transition date for an amount equivalent to the Lease liability as of such date. Accordingly, the transition to IFRS 16 did not result in an adjustment to Accumulated income/(loss) as of the transition date.

As a result of the aforementioned change, the Group recognizes the Right of use as an asset and the Lease liability as a liability, mainly from leases of offices in its branch network (Note 29).

As at the first-time adoption date, the weighted average incremental rate used for lessee’s loans applied to lease liabilities recognized in the Statement of Financial Position was 48.8% for peso-denominated agreements and 9% for US-dollar denominated agreements.

As of December 31, 2019, the Entity has not entered into agreements related to variable lease payments. As of December 31, 2019, there are no leases that have not yet commenced, pursuant to which the Entity has undertaken commitments, and which enter into force in subsequent years.

##### Table of Contents

Below is a detail of the changes in the accounting policies:

| • |  | Contracts that contain a lease

At the beginning of the contract, the Group evaluates whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

| • |  | Leases under which the Group acts as lessor

When the Group acts as lessor, at the beginning of the contract the Group determines whether it is a finance or an operating lease.

To classify each lease, the Group evaluates if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the leased asset. If so, it classifies it as a finance lease, otherwise, it is an operating lease.

In a finance lease, the leased asset is derecognized and recognized as a receivable for an amount equivalent to the net investment in the lease under “Loans and other financing.”

Collections received under a finance lease are broken down into interest and the reduction of the net investment in the lease. Interest is recognized over the lease term applying an effective interest rate. Contingent leases are not considered in determining the net investment in the lease.

| • |  | Leases under which the Group acts as lessee

The Group recognizes the Right of use of the leased asset and the Lease liability at the beginning of the contract. The Right of use is initially measured at cost, which includes the initial amount of the Lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made before the beginning of the contract, plus initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of the costs for dismantling or restoring the underlying asset, less any incentives received.

The Right of use of the leased asset is then depreciated on a straight-line basis from the beginning of the contract to the expiration of the lease term.

The Lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that were not paid at the beginning of the contract, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the Lease liability include the following items:

| a) | Fixed payments, including payments that are substantially fixed;

| b) | Variable payments, which depend on a rate or index, initially measured applying the rate or index as of the lease commencement date;

| c) | Any amounts expected to be paid as guaranteed residual value;

| d) | The exercise price of call options, if it is reasonably certain that they will be exercised;

##### Table of Contents

| e) | Any amounts expected to be paid for renewal periods if it is reasonably certain that the renewal options will be exercised; and

| f) | Any penalties for early termination, if it is reasonably certain that the contract will be early terminated.

The Lease liability is measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest rate method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments due to a change in the rate or index, in the amounts that the Group is expected to pay as guaranteed residual value or if the Group changes the evaluation as regards whether it will exercise a call, renewal or early termination option.

When the Lease liability is remeasured, the relevant adjustment is recognized in the Right of use of the leased asset.

5.18. Investments in equity instruments

By virtue of the partial sale of the shareholding in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. as explained in Note 16, the remaining stake has been measured at fair value through profit or loss on the basis of the valuation reports issued by independent appraisers, net of the valuation adjustment mandated by the BCRA in its Memorandum No. 7/2019. The accounting criteria applied, as mentioned above, imply a deviation from IFRS.

5.19 Current and deferred income tax

Income tax expense for each period includes the current income tax and deferred income tax and is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to an item recognized in OCI or directly in shareholders’ equity.

a) Current tax

Current income tax includes the income tax payable, or advances made during the year and any adjustment payable or receivable related to previous years. The amount of the current tax payable (or to be recovered) is the best estimate of the amount that is expected to be paid (or to be recovered) measured at the applicable rate at the reporting date.

b) Deferred tax

Deferred income tax recognizes the tax effect of temporary differences between the accounting balances of the assets and liabilities and the related tax bases used to assess taxable income.

A deferred tax liability is recognized for the tax effect of all taxable temporary differences.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for the tax effect of deductible temporary differences and unexpired tax losses, insofar as it is likely that future taxable income against which such temporary differences can be applied will be generated.

##### Table of Contents

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates expected to be applicable during the year when the liability is settled or the asset is realized, in accordance with the laws substantially enacted at the reporting date.

5.20. Comparative information

The Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, Income, Other Comprehensive Income, Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, and Cash Flows, and their related notes, for the year ended December 31, 2019 are presented on a comparative basis to the balances for the previous year.

For comparative purposes and for the sake of consistency, certain reclassifications were made to the information presented for the previous year. The changes in comparative information do not imply changes in any decisions that were made in reliance thereof.

6. | IFRS issued but not yet effective for Financial Institutions

6.1. New pronouncements

Pursuant to Communication “A” 6114 issued by the BCRA, as the new IFRS are approved, or the current IFRS are modified or repealed and, once such changes are adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (FACPCE) by means of Notices of Adoption, the BCRA shall issue a statement announcing its approval for financial institutions. In general, early adoption of an IFRS shall not be allowed, unless specifically admitted when adopted.

Below is a description of standards and interpretations that were issued, but have not yet come into force, as of the date of these financial statements. The Entity will adopt these standards, if applicable, as of their respective effective dates:

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of “material”

In October 2018, the IASB enacted certain amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” in an attempt to align the definition of “material” in both standards and shed light on certain aspects of such definition. According to the new definition, information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. These amendments will come into force for fiscal years beginning on and after January 1, 2020 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Entity’s financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, IFRS 39 and IFRS 7, thereupon concluding the first phase of the work done to provide relief from the effects of the uncertainty caused by the reform in interbank offered rates (IBORs) over financial reporting. This first phase is focused on the financial reporting effects of uncertainty in the period prior to the reform.

##### Table of Contents

The amendments were designed to support entities’ financial reporting during the uncertainty period arising from the gradual elimination of interest rate benchmark indexes, such as IBORs. Such amendments set out specific hedge accounting requirements to be applied by entities, assuming that the benchmark interest rate on which hedged cash flows and cash flows from the hedge instrument are based will remain unchanged upon the reform. When a hedging relationship fails to meet the hedge accounting requirements for reasons other than those set out in the amendments, such hedge accounting will be required to be discontinued.

The amendments also require that entities provide additional information to investors on such hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties.

These amendments will come into force for fiscal years beginning on and after January 1, 2020 and are not expected to have any impact on the Entity’s financial statements.

Amendment to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting:

In March 2018, the IASB issued a new Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting. The new framework includes some new concepts, provides updated definitions and criteria for the recognition of assets and liabilities, and clarifies certain important concepts. The changes in the Conceptual Framework might affect the application of the IFRS in circumstances where no standard is applicable to a particular transition or event. The new Conceptual Framework will come into force for fiscal years beginning on and after January 1, 2020 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Entity’s financial statements.

6.2. Amendments to the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA

| a) | IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Impairment

Regarding Section 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9, Communication “A” 6430 issued by the BCRA established its application as from fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. In this regard, the Entity submitted to the BCRA a description of the expected losses calculation model under that standard on December 5, 2018. The Entity is currently calculating the impact of the first-time adoption of such standard as of December 31, 2019.

On December 27, 2019, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6847 setting out the provisions pursuant to which entities shall adopt paragraph 5.5 “Impairment,” effective since January 1, 2020. According to this standard, debt instruments issued by the non-financial public sector were subject to the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9.

| b) | Classification of debt instruments issued by the non-financial public sector (Communications “A” 6778, 6847, as amended and supplemented)

As of January 1, 2020, financial entities will be allowed to reclassify non-financial public sector instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, and at fair value through other comprehensive income using the amortized cost approach, using the carrying amount of such instruments at such date as initial value. Instruments so reclassified will cease to accrue interest and additional amounts to the extent their carrying amounts surpass their fair value.

| c) | IAS 29 Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies

In addition, Communications “A” 6651, 6778 and 6849 issued by the BCRA on February 22, 2019, September 5, 2019 and December 27, 2019, respectively, set forth the application of the restatement in constant currency set forth by IAS 29 in hyperinflationary economies for fiscal periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. As stated in Note 3.2 to these financial statements, the Entity estimates that adopting this standard has a significant impact on its Statements of financial position, income and other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows as of December 31, 2019.

7. | Cash and deposits in banks

##### Table of Contents

Bank

The aforementioned instruments are measured at fair value and were recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in the item “Derivative instruments”. Changes in fair values were recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Income in “Net income/(loss) from measurement of financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss”.

As of December 31, 2019, the Group has accounted for premiums from put options taken in respect of the Bank’s right to sell its equity interest in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. to the buyer as of December 2021. Such equity interest was measured at fair value, based on a report prepared by independent appraisers (see Note 43).

These transactions do not qualify as hedging pursuant to IFRS No. 9 - “Financial Instruments”

Subsidiaries

On the other hand, PSA Finance Argentina Compañía Financiera S.A. performed interest rate swaps with the Bank and with third parties, which are recognized by the subsidiaries as cash flow hedge. The actual portion of the cumulative change in the fair value of swaps pending subsequent recognition in income is included in the Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income under the caption “Profits or losses from hedge instruments - Cash flow hedge.” The balance sheet, profit & loss, and comprehensive income balances related to swaps entered into by and between the Bank and its subsidiaries were eliminated during the consolidation process.

The Group’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 was 12%, compared to 29%, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Law No. 27468 amended the transition rules set out by Law No. 27430 regarding the application of the inflation adjustment for tax purposes under the Income Tax Law, establishing that such adjustment will be applicable for fiscal years beginning on and after January 1, 2018, provided the changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), calculated since the beginning until the end of the fiscal year, are in excess of fifty five per cent (55%) during the first fiscal year, thirty per cent (30%) during the second fiscal year, and fifteen per cent (15%) during the third fiscal year. According to such law, one third of the resulting inflation adjustment, whether gain or loss, shall be recognized during that fiscal year, with the remaining two thirds being computed, in equal parts, over the two immediately following fiscal years.

The Social Solidarity and Productive Revival Law – published in the Official Gazette on December 23, 2019—maintains the inflation adjustment mechanism set out under Title VI of the Income Tax Law. Nevertheless, one sixth of the resulting inflation adjustment amount for the first and second fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2019 should be recognized during that fiscal year, with the remaining five sixths being computed, in equal parts, over the five immediately following fiscal years.

Furthermore, the Social Solidarity and Productive Revival Law provides for the discontinuance of the application of the 25% income tax rate established under Section 86, paragraph d), of Law No. 27430 until fiscal years beginning on and after January 1, 2021. For as long as the application of such rate remains suspended, the income tax rate will amount to 30%.

Accordingly, the application of the 13% income tax rate on dividend distributions has also been discontinued for the same fiscal years. Such rate has been set at 7%.

Considering that, as of the date of these financial statements, the CPI variation exceeded the 30% limit applicable to the second year, the Entity’s management has considered the effects of inflation and has included such estimate in the provision for income tax.

The effect of the deferral of the five sixths of the gain (loss) on net monetary position as of December 31, 2019 has been recognized as a deferred tax asset.

On May 10, 2017, May 10, 2018 and May 13, 2019, and based on related case law, the Entity approved the filing of actions for declaratory judgment of unconstitutionality of Section 39 of Law 24073, Section 4 of Law 25561, Section 5 of Decree No. 214/02 issued by the Argentine Executive, Law 27468 and any other regulation whereby the inflation adjustment mechanism provided for under Law 20628, as amended, is considered not applicable due to the confiscatory effect on the specific case, for fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Consequently, the Entity filed its Income Tax Returns for those fiscal years taking into consideration the effect of those restatement mechanisms.

The net impact of this measure is an adjustment to the Income Tax assessed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 in the amount of 1,185,800 while during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 the Income Tax adjustment amounted to 1,021,518, and during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, it amounted to 3,239,760.

Through Memorandum No. 6/2017 dated May 29, 2017, the BCRA, without resolving on the decisions adopted by the Entity’s authorities or the Entity’s right regarding the action filed, in its capacity as issuer of accounting standards, requested the Entity to record a provision for contingencies included in “Liabilities” in an amount equivalent to the income recorded, as it considers that “a reassessment of the income tax by applying the inflation adjustment is not addressed by the BCRA regulations”.

In response to this Memorandum, the Entity filed the related answer and confirmed its position by providing the relevant supporting documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Entity recorded the requested provision in the “Provisions” account under liabilities and in “Other operating expenses” in the Statement of Income, pursuant to the accounting standards prescribed by the regulator for this case.

As a result of the assessment made and based on the opinion of its legal and tax advisors, the Entity considers that it is highly likely for the Entity to obtain a final favorable judgment supporting the idea that this period’s income tax shall be assessed including the tax inflation adjustment, based on the confiscatory nature of the rate that would result from not applying said adjustment in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.

Therefore, the Entity believes that, pursuant to the requirements of IFRS, and according to IFRIC 23, no liability or provision should be recognized in respect of this uncertain tax position; therefore, accounting for the provision for contingencies required by the BCRA implies a deviation from IFRS, as mentioned in Note 2 to these financial statements.

| • |  | Income tax – Requests for recovery of payments. Fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015

Regarding fiscal years 2013, 2014 and 2015, the Entity assessed income tax without applying the tax inflation adjustment, consequently a higher tax was paid in the amounts of 264,257, 647,945 and 555,002 for those periods.

Based on the grounds stated above, on November 19, 2015, the request for recovery of the payments made was filed for periods 2013 and 2014, and the related complaint was filed on September 23, 2016 for both periods, given that no answer to the request was received.

In turn, on April 4, 2017, a request for recovery of the payments made for the higher amount of tax paid for fiscal year 2015 was filed. Likewise, on December 29, 2017, the related complaint was filed for this fiscal year.

As of the date of these financial statements, the tax authorities have not issued a resolution regarding the claims filed.

Pursuant to the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA, the Entity does not record assets in relation to contingent assets derived from the claims filed.

The gap between the final price and the estimated price was discounted from the outstanding balance; therefore, the Bank did not have to return the funds it had received.

The other payment conditions have remained unaltered.

Investment properties include real estate leased to third parties. The average term of lease agreements is 6 years. Subsequent renewals are negotiated with the lessee. The Group has classified these leases as operating leases, since these arrangements do not substantially transfer all risks and benefits inherent to the ownership of the assets. The rental income is recognized under “Other operating income” on a straight-line basis during the term of the lease.

It includes the estimated amounts to pay highly likely liabilities which, in case of occurrence, would generate a loss for the Entity.

The breakdown of and changes in provisions are included in Exhibit J. However, below is a brief description:

| • |  | Reassessment of Income Tax due to the application of the inflation adjustment: it reflects the provision required by the BCRA through Memorandum No. 6/2017 dated May 29, 2017, as it was considered that the reassessment of the income tax by applying the inflation adjustment is not addressed by the current regulations. The Bank has answered the BCRA memorandum and evidenced the validity of the recognition timely made and has requested that it be reviewed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provision requested by the BCRA was set up.

| • |  | Termination benefit plans: for certain terminated employees, the Bank bears the cost of private health care plans (total or partial) for a certain period after termination. The Bank does not bear any situations requiring medical assistance, but it only makes the related health care plan payments.

| • |  | Provisions for reorganization: Consistent with the goal of further aligning the organizational structure with the corporate strategy during the current year, achieving efficiency gains and streamlining the decision-making process across all work teams.

| • |  | Administrative, disciplinary and criminal penalties: administrative penalties initiated by the Financial Information Unit, even if there were court or administrative measures to suspend payment and regardless of the status of the proceedings regarding penalties.

| • |  | Contingent commitments: it reflects the credit risk arising from the assessment of the degree of compliance of the beneficiaries of unused overdrafts, guarantees, sureties and other contingent commitments for the benefit of third parties on behalf of customers, and of their financial position and the counter guarantees supporting those transactions.

| • |  | Other: it reflects the estimated amounts to pay tax, labor and commercial claims and miscellaneous complaints.

In the opinion of the Group’s Board of Directors and its legal advisors, there are no other significant effects other than those stated in these financial statements, the amounts and repayment terms of which have been recorded based on the current value of those estimates, considering the probable date of their final resolution.

In turn, as of December 31, 2019, 100 contingent claims, including civil, commercial, labor and tax claims, which might potentially result in a loss, were brought against the Bank. All such claims have arisen in the ordinary course of business. These actions are primarily related to leasing claims, petitions to secure evidence, and labor claims. The Group’s management and legal advisors consider that the cases that might involve potential cash disbursements are not material.

Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. is a corporation (sociedad anónima) incorporated under the laws of Argentina. The shareholders limit their liability to the shares subscribed and paid in, pursuant to the Argentine Companies Law (Law No. 19550). Therefore, and pursuant to Law No. 25738, it is reported that neither foreign capital majority shareholders nor local or foreign shareholders shall be liable in excess of the above-mentioned capital contribution for obligations arising from transactions carried out by the financial institution.

The Shareholders’ Meeting held on June 13, 2017 approved the increase in share capital up to $ 145,000,000 (nominal value) by issuing 145,000,000 new registered, common shares with a nominal value of $ 1 each, one vote per share. The Board of Directors has been vested with the necessary authority to implement that capital increase and determine the issuance conditions.

The fair value of a financial asset or liability is the price that would be received for the sale of an asset or paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The most objective and usual reference of the fair value of a financial asset or liability is the price that would be paid in an orderly, transparent and deep market, that is to say, its quoted or market price.

##### Table of Contents

If it is not possible to obtain a market price, a fair value is determined using best market practice quoting techniques, such as cash flows discount based on a yields curve for the same class and type of instrument, or if there is no market curve with the same characteristics of the bond, the technical value is calculated considering the latest market price plus interest accrued until the valuation date (whichever is more representative for the security).

In line with the accounting standard, a three-level classification of financial instruments is established. This classification is mainly based on the observability of the necessary inputs to calculate that fair value, defining the following levels:

| • |  | Level 1: Financial instruments valued with quoted prices in an active market. Active market means a market that allows the observation of representative prices with sufficient frequency and daily volume.

| • |  | Level 2: Financial instruments that do not have an active market, but that may be valued through market observable data.

| • |  | Level 3: Valuation using models where variables not obtained from observable market information are used.

Financial assets at fair value mainly consist of BCRA Liquidity Bills and Argentine Treasury Bills, together with a minor share in Argentine Government Bonds and Corporate Bonds. Likewise, financial derivatives are classified at fair value, which include futures and foreign currency NDF (non-delivery forwards), put options, and interest rate swaps.

b) Transfers between hierarchy levels

b.1) Transfers from Level 1 to Level 2

The following instruments measured at fair value were transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy:

b.3) Valuation techniques for Levels 2 and 3

The valuation techniques used for Level 2 securities require market observable input data: the last quoted market price (Mercado Abierto Electrónico – MAE), the terms of the bond issue as detailed in the respective offering memorandum or, in the particular case of bonds adjustable for the BADLAR rate published at the BCRA’s web site, the spot discount curve in pesos, US dollars, CER, the yield curve in pesos arising from ROFEX futures, the yield curve in pesos arising from futures traded by ICAP Broker, and the spot selling exchange rate published by Banco de la Nación Argentina (BNA).

Fixed Income

The determination of fair value prices set forth by the Bank for fixed income consists in considering reference market prices (MAE).

For Argentine Treasury Bonds, prices are captured from MAE. If bonds have not traded for the last 10 business days, a theoretical valuation is made, discounting cash flows using the pertinent discount curve.

Argentine Treasury Bills which have not traded for the last 10 business days are measured by reference to their cash flows discounted using the respective yield curve, based on the currency in which the bills were issued. In particular, US-dollar linked Treasury Bills (Lelinks) are measured using the yield curve in pesos.

Liquidity bills issued by the BCRA without quoted prices in MAE on the last day of the month were assigned a theoretical value, discounting cash flows using the monetary policy rate.

Finally, corporate bonds and sub-sovereign bonds were measured at their market prices prevailing on the last 10 business days in MAE, where available. In the absence of market prices, these securities were assigned a theoretical value, based on the last market price available, plus accrued interest.

SWAPS

For swaps, the theoretical valuation consists in discounting future cash flows using the interest rate, according to the rate curve resulting from the implicit yield of ROFEX futures.

Non-Delivery Forwards

The theoretical valuation of NDFs consists in discounting the future cash flows to be exchanged pursuant to the contract, using a discount curve that will depend on the currency of each cash flow. The result is then calculated by subtracting the present values in pesos, estimating the value in pesos based on the applicable spot exchange rate, depending on whether the contract is local or offshore.

For local peso-dollar swap contracts, cash flows in pesos are discounted using the yield curve in pesos resulting from the prices of ROFEX futures and the US dollar spot selling exchange rate published by BNA. Cash flows in US dollars are discounted using the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) international dollar yield curve. Then, the present value of cash flows in dollars is netted by converting such cash flows into pesos using the US dollar spot selling exchange rate published by BNA.

For local peso-euro swap contracts, cash flows in pesos are discounted using the yield curve in pesos resulting from the prices of ROFEX futures and the US dollar spot selling exchange rate published by BNA. Cash flows in euros are discounted using the yield curve in euros. Then, the present value of cash flows in euros is netted by converting such cash flows into pesos using the euro spot selling exchange rate published by BNA.

For offshore peso-dollar swap contracts, cash flows in pesos are discounted using the yield curve in pesos resulting from market quoted forward prices sourced from ICAP and the US dollar spot selling exchange rate published by BNA. Cash flows in dollars are discounted using the OIS yield curve. Then, the present value of cash flows in dollars is netted by converting such cash flows into pesos using the Emerging Markets Traders Association (EMTA) US dollar spot exchange rate.

Investments in Equity Instruments

The fair value of the equity interest held in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A.—classified as Level 3—was calculated on the basis of independent appraisers’ valuations, who relied on a future discounted cash flow method embracing a combined income and market approach, net of the valuation adjustment required by the BCRA in Memorandum No. 7/2019 (Note 5.18).

Premiums on Put Options

The Group has classified the put option taken in respect of its equity interest in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. as Level 3, since the fair value of such put option was based on a valuation report prepared by independent appraisers. The income (loss) from the asset measured at fair value on the basis of non-observable input data is booked under Net income / (loss) from financial instruments carried at fair value through profit or loss.

These instruments were measured using a valuation technique based on the binomial option pricing model. This model involves creating a comparable portfolio under the same conditions as the put, considering several scenarios. The pricing model factors in the Company’s projected cash flows and financial indebtedness as of year-end (34 months subsequent to the contract closing date). Expected cash flows are discounted using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) discount rate.

Some of the most relevant observable input data used in the pricing model include:

| • |  | Notional exercise price (estimated at US$ 6.47 million)

| • |  | Discount rate (estimated at 12.64%)

| • |  | Bullish and bearish scenarios (calculated based on monthly volatility ranging from 0.89 to 1.13)

| • |  | Neutral bullish and bearish probabilities (49.06% and 50.94%, respectively).

| • |  | Monthly volatility (sensibility to volatility ranging from 10%, 12.2%, 15% and 20%)

| • |  | Expected cash flows and financial indebtedness, based on Cash and Banks and Short-term investments, and financial indebtedness projected as of the option exercise date.

Any potential substantial change in any of the aforementioned non-observable input data may increase or decrease the put option estimated fair value.

b.4) Reconciliation of opening and ending balances of Level 3 assets and liabilities at fair value

The following table shows a reconciliation between opening balances and ending balances of Level 3 fair values:

|  | 12.31.19 |
Balance at the beginning of the fiscal year |  |  | — |
Investments in equity instruments – Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. |  |  | 1,885,260 |
Derivatives - Written put options - Prima Medios de Pago S.A. |  |  | 685.000 |
Balance at year-end |  |  | 2.570.260 |

c) | Fair value of Assets and Liabilities not measured at fair value

Below is a description of methodologies and assumptions used to assess the fair value of the main financial instruments not measured at fair value, when the instrument does not have a quoted price in a known market.

| • |  | Assets and liabilities with fair value similar to their accounting balance

For financial assets and financial liabilities maturing in less than one year, it is considered that the accounting balance is similar to fair value. This assumption also applies for deposits, because a significant portion thereof (more than 99% considering contractual terms and conditions) have a residual maturity of less than one year.

| • |  | Fixed rate financial instruments

The fair value of financial assets was assessed by discounting future cash flows from market rates at each measurement date for financial instruments with similar characteristics.

| • |  | Variable rate financial instruments

For financial assets and financial liabilities accruing a variable rate, it is considered that the accounting balance is similar to the fair value.

Presentation of Risk Management and Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA)

Strategies and processes

The purpose of the organization is based on assuming a prudential level of risks in order to generate yields and keep acceptable levels of capital and funding, and generate benefits on a recurring basis. Therefore, it is vital that the teams assigned to risk management are highly trained professionals.

The General Risks Policy of BBVA Argentina expresses the levels and types of risk the Entity is willing to take to carry out its strategic plan, with no relevant deviations, even under stress conditions. Along this line, the process for risks management is comprehensive and proportional to the economic size and importance of the financial institution.

##### Table of Contents

To achieve its goals, BBVA Argentina uses a management model with two guiding principles for the decision-making process:

| • |  | Prudential analysis: Materialized in relation to the management of the various risks acknowledged by the Entity.

| • |  | Anticipation: it makes reference to the capacity of making decisions foreseeing relevant changes in the environment, the competition and customers, having effects on a medium-term.

This process is adequate, sufficiently proven, duly documented and periodically reviewed based on the changes to the Entity’s risk profile and the market.

Along this line, the Board of Directors and the Senior Management are highly committed to the identification, evaluation, follow-up, control and mitigation of significant risks. These organizations periodically review credit, financial and operational risks which may potentially affect the success of BBVA Argentina’s activities, as well as with a special emphasis on strategic, reputation and concentration risks.

Structure and organization

The Entity has a formal organizational structure in place, with a set of roles, responsibilities and powers, organized in a pyramidal structure, generating control instances from lower to higher levels, up to the highest decision-making bodies. Below are the areas in each structure and a list of their functions:

| • |  | Risk Management

| • |  | Committees

| • |  | Control and Reporting Units

| • |  | Cross-Control Areas

Risk Management

This is an area that is independent from business units. It is in charge of implementing the criteria, policies and procedures defined by the organization within the scope of credit (retail and wholesale), financial and non-financial risk management, by following-up and controlling their proper application and by proposing the actions necessary to keep the quality of risks within the defined goals. Some of its main functions are to ensure proper information for the decision-making process at all levels, including relevant risk factors, such as:

| • |  | Active management throughout the risk lifetime.

| • |  | Clear processes and procedures.

| • |  | Integrated management of all risks through identification and quantification.

| • |  | Generation, implementation and dissemination of advanced decision-making support tools.

##### Table of Contents

Committees:

Committees are responsible for risk management. This implies knowledge, assessment, weighting and potential mitigation. BBVA Argentina has an agile and proper structure of committees for the management of the various risks.

Control and Reporting Units:

Control and monitoring areas are in charge of giving cohesion to credit risk management, and ensure that management of the rest of risks that are critical to the Entity is in accordance with the established standards.

The main responsibilities of Internal Risks Control are: ensuring there is a proper internal regulatory framework; a process and measures defined for each type of risks; controlling its application and operation; and ensuring an assessment of the existence of a control environment and its proper implementation and operation.

The area has a Model Validation team to ensure that BBVA Argentina’s internal risk statistical models are adequate for use, tasked with issuing a grounded and updated opinion on proper use of such models.

Reporting is in charge of the control procedures for risk rating and credit limit requirements, provisioning, determining the risk quota for each segment of economic activity and type of financing, assessing and following-up fundamental metrics setting forth, in quantitative terms, the principles and general risk profile in the statement of Risk Appetite. In addition, it is in charge of generating reports to support Risk Management’s decisions in compliance with internal and control organizations’ credit policies, reviewing processes and proposing alternatives.

Cross-Control Areas

The Entity also has cross-control areas for business and support units, such as: Internal Audit, Regulatory Compliance and Internal Control.

Risk Appetite

Risk Appetite is a key element in financial institutions’ management, providing a comprehensive framework for the Entity to determine the risks and level of risks it is willing to take to reach its business goals, expressed in terms of capital, liquidity, profitability, income recurrence, risks costs or other metrics.

Risk Appetite is expressed through a Statement containing the general principles for the Bank’s strategy and quantitative metrics.

Stress Testing

In compliance with the provisions on “guidelines for risk management in Financial Institutions” set forth by the Argentine Central Bank, the Entity has developed a stress test program, within the Entity’s general risk management.

Stress test means the evaluation of the Entity’s financial position under an adverse but plausible scenario, which requires the simulation of scenarios to estimate the potential impact on the value of portfolios, profitability, solvency and liquidity for the purposes of identifying latent risks or detecting vulnerabilities.

Credit Risk

The Bank defines credit risk as the possibility to sustain losses as a result of a debtor’s or counterparty’s noncompliance with the contractual obligations assumed.

Credit risk is present in on and off-balance sheet transactions, as well as liquidation risk, that is to say, when a financial transaction cannot be completed or settled as agreed. Credit risk losses arise from a debtor’s or counterparty’s noncompliance with its obligations. Also, it takes into consideration several types of risks, such as country risk, and counterparty credit risk.

BBVA Argentina defines country risk as the risk of sustaining losses generated in investments and loans to individuals, companies and governments due to the incidence of economic, political and social events occurring in a foreign country.

Strategy and processes

BBVA Argentina develops the credit risk strategy defining the goals that will guide its granting activities, the policies to be adopted and the necessary practices and procedures to carry out those activities.

Additionally, Risk Management annually develops, together with the rest of the Group’s management departments, a budget process, including the main variables of credit risk:

| • |  | Expected growth per portfolio and product.

| • |  | Changes in the default ratio.

| • |  | Changes in write-off portfolios.

Thus, the expected standard credit risk values for a term of one year are set. Afterwards, the real values obtained are compared with that budget, to assess both the growth of the portfolio and its quality.

Also, maximum limits or exposures per economic activity are formalized, pursuant to the Bank’s placement strategy, which are used to follow up credit portfolios. In the event of deviations from the limits set, these are analyzed by the Risk Follow-Up Committees to take the necessary measures.

Admission

BBVA Argentina has credit risk admission policies in place, whereby the criteria for obtaining quality assets, establishing risk tolerance levels and aligning credit activities with the strategy of BBVA Argentina are defined.

Follow-up

The Bank establishes certain follow-up procedures based on the banking area involved, as the admission stage is not the end of the process. Follow-up is as important as decision-making, since risk is dynamic and customers rely on themselves and the environment.

The main follow-up procedures carried out for the various Banking areas are:

| • |  | Follow-up on the limit granted: Since customer profiles vary over time, the limits of products hired are periodically reviewed for the purpose of broadening, reducing or suspending the limit assigned, based on the risk situation.

| • |  | Maintenance of proactive limits: Customers’ characteristics, and therefore the characteristics of the data originating certain limits, vary over time. Therefore, there is periodical maintenance of the proactive limits, taking into consideration the changes in a customer’s situation (position of assets and liabilities, and relationship). Likewise, there is a periodic follow-up on the changes in proactive limits for the purpose of controlling and ensuring the risk assigned is in accordance with the desired risk levels.

| • |  | Follow-up on rating tools: Rating tools are a reflection of the internal inputs and show the characteristics and biases of such inputs. Therefore, they need a long period of use to soften or eliminate those biases through the inclusion of new information, correction of existing information and periodic reviews optimizing the results of back-tests.

| • |  | Portfolio analysis: The portfolio analysis consists of a follow-up process and study of the complete cycle of the risk of portfolios for the purpose of analyzing the status of the portfolio, identifying potential paths towards improvements in management, and forecasting future behavior.

Additionally, the following functions shall be carried out:

| • |  | Follow-up on specific customers.

| • |  | Follow-up on products.

| • |  | Follow-up on units (branches, areas, channels).

| • |  | Other follow-up actions (samples, control of admission process and risk management, campaigns).

##### Table of Contents

The priority in credit risk follow-up processes is focused mainly on problematic or potentially problematic customers, for preventive purposes. The remaining aspects, the follow-up on products, units and other follow-up actions are supplementary to the specific follow-up on customers.

Recovery

BBVA Argentina has Recovery areas which are part of its Retail and Wholesale Risk divisions. The role of these areas is mitigating the severity of credit portfolios, of both the Bank and companies related to the Entity, as well as contributing to the Bank’s results, directly through collections of Write-Off portfolios and indirectly through collections of active portfolios, which imply a reduction in allowances.

Scope and nature of information and/or risk measurement systems

BBVA Argentina has several tools that are used in credit risk management for effective risk control and process facilitation.

Definitions of positions due and impaired for accounting purposes and for the determination of allowances for loan losses

BBVA Argentina considers a customer’s positions overdue upon failing to make one of the payments and while they remained unpaid. Furthermore, pursuant to the provisions of the Classification of Debtors (Liquidity and Solvency), a customer’s positions are considered impaired:

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | As from ninety days of arrears in case of consumer or consumer-like portfolios.

| • |  | When the customer is unable to repay, in case of commercial portfolios. This arises from a series of objective and subjective guidelines, such as:

| • |  | The financial position.

| • |  | Cash flows.

| • |  | Level of compliance at maturity.

| • |  | The quality of management.

| • |  | The quality of the internal control system and fluidity and consistency of information.

| • |  | The sector of the economy and competitive position within its industry.

Likewise, there are other supplementary criteria giving rise to impaired positions for both portfolios:

| • |  | Pending legal proceedings.

| • |  | Compliance with re-financing arrangements.

| • |  | When the customer is subject to a mandatory reclassification process.

For the purposes of the accounting determination of allowances for loan losses, the Bank makes a distinction between both positions, which allows for proper management of credit risk allowances, and is a key tool to preserve the Entity’s solvency.

Description of the approaches used to set up specific and general allowances

The BCRA establishes minimum percentages to assess allowances for loan losses, based on customers’ classification. In this regard, the regulations on “Minimum Allowances” (Communication “A” 2950, as amended, issued by the BCRA) provide that allowances may be set up above minimum allowances for each category, without reclassification of the debtor to the subsequent category in consumer and consumer-like portfolios.

Refinanced positions

Refinanced customers are those eligible for any kind of transactions, where changes in the term and/or amount of the initial contract occur as a result of payment difficulties.

Credit risk hedging

Risk hedging and/or mitigation policy

Although risk hedges and/or mitigation with additional guarantees are an important factor when granting loans, the main factor to decide is if the customer has sufficient generation of resources to pay for the obligations agreed.

##### Table of Contents

The beneficiary’s repayment capacity by generating sufficient resources is above any other consideration. Thus, the decision of risks is based on the borrower’s payment capacity to timely and duly comply with all the financial obligations assumed, based on income from the customer’s customary business or income source, without relying on sureties, guarantors or assets pledged as collateral.

In addition to the policies and follow-ups, BBVA Argentina uses collateral, comfort letters and covenants as risk mitigating tools.

Collateral

Upon assessing collateral, BBVA Argentina carefully analyzes if it is appropriate. Along this line, the milestones to update the value of collateral apply under prudential principles.

Regarding the types of collateral managed by BBVA Argentina, the following stand out:

| • |  | Guarantees: It includes sureties or unsecured instruments.

| • |  | Joint and several guarantee: Upon default on payment, the creditor may collect the unpaid amount from either the debtor or the surety.

| • |  | Joint guarantee: In this case the guarantors and debtholders are liable in proportion to their interest in the company / transaction and restricted to such amount or percentage.

| • |  | Security interest: It includes guarantees based on tangible assets, which are classified as follows:

| • |  | Mortgages: A mortgage does not change the debtor’s unlimited liability, who remains fully liable. They are documented pursuant to the Bank’s internal regulations for such purposes and are duly registered. Also, there is an independent appraisal, at market value, which enables a prompt sale.

| • |  | Pledges: This includes chattel mortgages of motor vehicles or machinery, as well as liens on Time deposits and Mutual Funds. To be accepted, they shall be effective upon realization accordingly, they are properly documented and shall be approved by the Legal Services area. Finally, the Bank hedges against the variation in the value of the pledge.

To meet the specific financial needs of customers, the Group’s credit policy also includes, among others, granting collateral, surety, warranties, letters of credit and secured loans (recorded in debit accounts pursuant to accounting standards of the BCRA). Although these transactions are not recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position because they imply a potential liability for the Group, they expose the Group to credit risks in addition to those recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and are, therefore, an integral part of the Group’s total risk.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Group holds the following contingent transactions:

|  | 12.31.19 |  |  | 12.31.18 |
Overdrafts and receivables agreed not used |  |  | 311,353 |  |  |  | 531,590 |

|  |  | 2,005,698 |  |  |  | 1,713,083 |

Hedging based on netting of on and off-balance sheet transactions

The Entity, within the limits defined by regulations regarding netting, negotiates with its customers the execution of master agreements (for instance, ISDA or CMOF) for the derivatives business, including the netting of off-balance sheet transactions.

The wording of each agreement determines in each case the transaction subject to netting. The reduction in the exposure of counterparty risk arising from the use of mitigation techniques (netting plus use of collateral agreements) implies a decrease in total exposure (current market value plus potential risk).

Main types of guarantors and counterparties of credit derivatives

The Bank defines that the collateral (or credit derivative) shall be direct, explicit, irrevocable and unconditional in order to be accepted as risk mitigation. Furthermore, regarding admissible guarantors, BBVA Argentina accepts financial institutions (local or foreign), public entities, stock exchange companies, resident and non-resident companies, including insurance companies.

Concentration of the market or credit risk through the instruments used to mitigate credit risk

The Entity classifies the collateral received pursuant to the regulations in force of the BCRA into:

| • |  | Preferred Collateral “A”

| • |  | Preferred Collateral “B”

| • |  | Other collateral (not included in the sections above)

Collateral received for loans are reported in Exhibit “B” to these consolidated financial statements.

Financial Risks

The Financial Risk Management of the Risk Management area applies the criteria, policies and procedures defined by the Board of Directors within the management of that risk, with follow-up and control on its proper application, and proposing the necessary actions to maintain the quality of risk within the defined risk appetite.

The financial risks management model of BBVA Argentina consists of the Market Risk, Structural Risk and Economic Capital Areas, which are coordinated for risks control and follow-up.

##### Table of Contents

The management of these risks is in line with the basic principles of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, with a comprehensive process to identify, measure, monitor and control risks.

The organization of financial risks is completed with a scheme of committees, in which it participates, created for the purpose of having an agile management process integrated into the treatment of the various risks.

Among others:

| • |  | Assets and liabilities committee (ALCO)

| • |  | Risk Management Committee (RMC)

| • |  | Financial Risks Committee (FRC)

BBVA Argentina has many tools and systems to manage and follow-up market risk, to achieve effective risk control and treatment.

Market Risk

BBVA Argentina considers market risk as the likelihood of losses of value of the trading portfolio as a consequence of adverse changes in market variables affecting the valuation of financial products and instruments.

The main market risk factors the Entity is exposed to are as follows:

| • |  | Interest rate risk: From exposure to changes in the various interest rate curves.

| • |  | Foreign exchange risk: From changes in the various foreign exchange rates. All positions in a currency other than the financial statements currency create foreign exchange risk.

The main market risk metric is VaR (“Value at Risk”), a parameter to estimate the maximum loss expected for the trading portfolio positions with a 99% confidence level and a time horizon of 1 day.

Current management structure and procedures in force include follow-up on a limit and alert arrangement in terms of VaR, economic capital, stress and stop loss.

The market risk measurement model is periodically validated through Back-Testing to determine the quality and precision of the VaR estimate.

The Market Risk management model contemplates procedures for communication in the event the risks levels defined are exceeded, establishing specific communication and action procedures based on the exceeded threshold.

Interest rate risk

Structural interest risk (SIR) gathers the potential impact of market interest rate variations on the margin of interest and the equity value of BBVA Argentina.

The process to manage this risk has a limit and alert structure to keep the exposure to this risk within levels that are consistent with the risk appetite and the business strategy defined and approved by the Board of Directors.

Within the core metrics used for measurement, follow-up and control, the following stand out:

| • |  | Margin at Risk (MaR): It quantifies the maximum loss which may be recorded in the financial margin projected over 12 months under the worst-case scenario of rate curves for a certain level of confidence.

| • |  | Economic Capital (EC): It quantifies the maximum loss which may be recorded in the Entity’s economic value under the worst-case scenario of rate curves for a certain level of confidence.

The Bank additionally carries out an analysis of sensitivity of the economic value and the financial margin for parallel variations by +/- 100 basis points over interest rates.

The following table shows the progress of the sensitivity of the economic value (SEV), given a variation of +100 basis points in relation to the Core Capital:

SEV +100 bps

|  | 12.31.19 |  |  | 12.31.18 |
Year-end |  |  | 0.32 | % |  |  | 1.43 | %
Minimum |  |  | 0.04 | % |  |  | 1.01 | %
Maximum |  |  | 1.64 | % |  |  | 2.05 | %
Average |  |  | 0.77 | % |  |  | 1.61 | %

The following table shows the progress of the sensitivity of the financial margin (SFM), given a variation of -100 basis points in relation to the 12-month projected margin:

SFM -100 bps

|  | 12.31.19 |  |  | 12.31.18 |
Year-end |  |  | 0.82 | % |  |  | 2.14 | %
Minimum |  |  | 0.58 | % |  |  | 1.98 | %

Liquidity and financing risk

Liquidity risk is defined as the possibility that the Entity may not efficiently meet its payment obligations, without incurring significant losses that may affect its daily operations or its financial position.

The short-term purpose of the liquidity and financing risk management process at BBVA Argentina is to timely and duly address payment commitments agreed, without resorting to additional funding deteriorating the Entity’s reputation or significantly affecting its financial position, keeping the exposure to this risk within levels that are consistent with the risk appetite and the business strategy defined and approved by the Board of Directors. In the medium and long term, such process is aimed at watching for the suitability of the financial structure of the Bank and its changes, according to the economic situation, the markets, and the regulatory changes.

Within the core metrics used for measurement, follow-up and control of this risk, the following stand out:

LtSCD (Loan to Stable Customers Deposits): It measures the relationship between the net credit investment and the customers’ stable resources and is set forth as the key metric of risk appetite. The goal is to preserve a stable financing structure in the medium and long term.

LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio): It measures the relation between high quality liquid assets and total net cash outflows during a 30-day period. BBVA Argentina, as established in the regulations issued by the BCRA, “A” 5693, calculates the liquidity coverage coefficient daily.

Changes in LCR ratios are summarized below:

|  | 12.31.19 |  |  | 12.31.18 |
LCR |  |  | 413 | % |  |  | 291 | %

Pursuant to the provisions in the regulation in force issued by the BCRA, financial institutions shall annually set aside 20% of the year’s profits to increase legal reserves.

Furthermore, pursuant to the requirements in General Resolution No. 622 issued by the CNV, the Shareholders’ Meeting considering the financial statements with accumulated gains shall specifically provide for the allocation thereof.

Specifically, the mechanism to be followed by financial institutions to assess distributable balances is defined by the BCRA through the regulations in force on the “Distribution of earnings,” provided that there are no records of financial assistance from that entity due to illiquidity or shortfalls as regards minimum capital requirements or minimum cash requirements, and other sort of penalties imposed by specific regulators, which are deemed to be material, and/or where no corrective measures had been implemented, among other conditions.

It is worth noting that, on September 20, 2017, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6327, which provides that financial institutions shall not distribute earnings generated upon the first-time adoption of IFRS, and shall create a special reserve which may only be reversed for capitalization or to absorb potential losses of the item “Unappropriated retained earnings.”

In addition, the Group shall maintain a minimum capital after the proposed distribution of earnings.

On August 30, 2019, the BCRA issued Communication “A” 6768 which sets forth that as from such date, financial institutions are required to have the BCRA’s authorization to distribute their profits.

Administrative Proceedings for foreign exchange offense initiated by the BCRA, notified on December 23, 2015 and identified under No. 6684, File No. 100068/13. The proceedings were brought for allegedly having completed operations under Code 631 “Professional and technical business services” for ROCA ARGENTINA S.A. against the applicable exchange regulations (Communications “A” 3471, “A” 3826 and “A” 5264), involving the incomplete verification of the services provided. The individuals/entities subject to these proceedings were Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. and two of the Entity’s officers holding the positions described below: (i) the Foreign Trade Manager and (ii) an officer of the Area. The BCRA has decided that the trial period has come to an end. The case is being heard by Federal Court No. 2, in Lomas de Zamora, Province of Buenos Aires, Criminal Division, under File No. 39130/2017. On October 26, 2017, the Entity filed a request for retroactive application of the most favorable criminal law, as through Communication “A” 5264, whereby the restriction on foreign trade transactions was removed, the payment of services abroad was reinstated.

The Group and its legal advisors estimate that a reasonable interpretation of the applicable regulations in force was made and do not expect an adverse financial impact from these cases.

X. Economic incentives for the personnel

Banco BBVA Argentina S.A. adopts a policy of applying a rewards system to attract and retain the proper individuals for each position, based on the following principles:

| • |  | Acknowledge and compensate based on individual performance, results achieved, work team and the quality of the results achieved, as well as the skills and competences applied by individuals to their work.

| • |  | Ensure internal fairness through structure analysis, descriptions of positions and remunerations.

| • |  | Ensure external competitiveness by updating the information with the benchmark market.

| • |  | Reward the contribution of tangible results.

The rewards system includes compensations paid to employees as consideration for their contribution to the organization in terms of time, role and results, and it involves a fixed remuneration system and a variable remuneration system.

For the purposes of complying with such principles, the Entity has tools within the remuneration processes, as detailed below:

| • |  | Salary surveys into the benchmark market: the position adopted within the survey is defined in accordance with the Bank’s needs and strategy for each period. This benchmark market is made up of a number of companies that have similar organizational structures and business sizes.

| • |  | Salary categories/brackets: these are designed on the basis of the internal structure of the positions and the information derived from market salary surveys. These brackets represent salary ranges that group positions that rank similarly in terms of responsibility, experience, knowledge, etc.

Also, BBVA Argentina uses performance evaluations as a key tool to compensate the effort and results of each employee. At the end of each fiscal year, each person in charge evaluates the goals of their team members to obtain an individual assessment of the performance for the year. Such assessment has four types of goals: Quantitative, Customer, Tactical and Other Goals.

The result of the assessment reflects the level of contribution by each member of the team, which is the basis to assess the right to collect the rewards defined.

Classification is the process whereby the manager carries out a global assessment of each team member to evaluate the performance of their current position. The results of such assessment are used to apply certain Human Resources policies.

##### Table of Contents

In turn, projection is the process whereby the manager assesses each one of the team members about the capabilities to perform higher level functions inside BBVA Argentina. This assessment shall be based on experience, knowledge, skills and the commitment of the team member.

Each employee has access to variable rewards related to the work position and the results of the performance evaluation. The goal is to encourage and reward the achievement of results. The models currently in force are:

| • |  | Network rewards model: It consists of four quarterly payments and one payment of annual indicators. Payment is related to the attainment of the goals assigned to each individual, for each period. Each position has a set of goals, and each goal has a certain weight.

| • |  | Reward model for Central Areas, Channels and Network support: It consists of variable payment yearly assigned to each employee by the supervisor, taking into consideration the performance assessment and the position’s reference reward. Additionally, variables related to the attainment of the Entity’s goals are considered, based on the criteria adopted and the degree of compliance with the budget. These factors may have an impact on the defined variable reward.

| • |  | Commissions reward model: The value of the commission depends on the unit value of each product based on the contribution of the product to the Entity’s profit and loss account. The criteria to be applied for rewards through commissions are reviewed annually. They are paid monthly in arrears.

| • |  | Share-based incentives reward model: An incentive program for executives whose professional activities have a material impact on the Entity’s risk profile, based on the delivery of shares of the controlling company. The number of units to be assigned is determined taking as a reference the level of responsibility of each beneficiary within the Bank. The number of shares to be actually delivered shall depend on the employee’s individual performance ratio.

Executives included in that group receive at least 50% of the annual variable reward for each year in shares of the controlling entity. The individuals who are part of that group shall receive: 60% of their rewards during the first quarter of the year and the remaining 40%, 3 years after the first payment date of the variable reward.

Shares delivered to this group of employees, which are part of their annual variable reward for the year, cannot be disposed of during the 6 months immediately following delivery. The unavailability regime applies to the net amount of the shares, that is to say, discounting the portion necessary for the employee to pay the taxes for the shares received. This shares unavailability regime also applies in the event of termination of the employment contract or the contract of a director with BBVA Argentina for any cause, except in the case of death and all degrees of disability for labor purposes. After the unavailability period, BBVA Argentina’s employees that are part of the “Colectivo Sujeto” group may freely transfer their shares.

It also prescribes that the Director involved shall refrain from entering, either directly or indirectly, into personal, professional or commercial transactions with the Bank or companies of its group, other than ordinary banking transactions, unless these transactions are subject to a procurement process that ensures transparency, with competing bids and on an arm’s length basis.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the President and Directors of

BBVA Argentina S.A.

Registered office: Av. Córdoba 111

Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

Taxpayer identification number [C.U.I.T.] 30-50000319-3

Report on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of BBVA Argentina S.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Entity”), which include the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2019, the consolidated statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, and explanatory notes and exhibits.

The balances and other information for fiscal year 2018 are an integral part of the referred consolidated financial statements and, therefore, shall be considered in the light of these financial statements.

Board of Directors’ and Management’s responsibility for the financial statements

The Board of Directors and Management of the Entity are responsible for the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting framework established by the Argentine Central Bank (“BCRA”), which, as indicated in note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, is based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”), except for section 5.5. “Impairment” of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”, which were temporarily excluded by the BCRA from the financial reporting framework applicable to financial institutions. In preparing its financial statements, the Entity has also considered the standards prescribed through Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the BCRA on May 29, 2017 regarding the treatment to be afforded to uncertain tax positions, and Memorandum No. 7/2019 issued by the BCRA on April 29, 2019 concerning the valuation of the equity interest held by the Entity in Prisma Medios Pago S.A. The Board of Directors and Management are also responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal controls deemed necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards set forth by Technical Resolution No. 37 of the FACPCE and the auditing standards set forth by the BCRA applicable to the audit of financial statements (“Minimum Standards applicable to External Audits”). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit entails performing procedures on a selective basis to obtain judgmental elements on the disclosures included in the financial statements. The selected procedures depend on our professional judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatements in the financial statements. In performing such risk assessment, we have considered the Entity’s existing internal control on the preparation and presentation of the financial statements in order to select the appropriate auditing procedures in light of the circumstances, but not in order to render an opinion on the effectiveness of such internal control. An audit also involves assessing the accounting criteria used by the Entity, the material estimates made by the Board of Directors, and the overall presentation of the financial statements. We consider the judgmental elements we have obtained are valid and sufficient to support our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of BBVA Argentina S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019, as well as the consolidated results of operations, the changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with the BCRA financial reporting framework described in note 2 to such consolidated financial statements.

Emphasis of matter

Without further modifying our opinion, we draw users’ attention to the following information disclosed in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, which should be considered for the interpretation thereof:

| a) | as explained in note 2.a) to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the same have been prepared by the Entity’s Board of Directors and Management in accordance with the BCRA financial reporting framework, which differs from IFRS as to the application of section 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”; such section was temporarily excluded by the BCRA from the financial reporting framework applicable to financial institutions. The Entity is currently calculating the impact of the first-time adoption of such standard as of December 31, 2019;

| b) | as explained in notes 2.b) and 3.2, according to the terms of Communication “A” 6651 issued by the BCRA, the Entity has not applied IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” in preparing the accompanying financial statements. The existence of an inflationary context affects the Entity’s financial position and profit or loss and, therefore, the impact of inflation may distort accounting disclosures and shall be taken into consideration when interpreting the information the Entity provides in these accompanying consolidated financial statements on its financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows. The Entity has estimated the impact of the restatement into constant currency on its financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, which would result in an increase of $ 11,148,000 and $ 10,707,295 in shareholders’ equity, respectively, and a decrease of $ 23,935,000 and $ 17,090,946 in income, respectively;

##### Table of Contents

| c) | as explained in note 2.c) to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the same have been prepared by the Entity’s Board of Directors and Management, taking into consideration the standards prescribed through Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the BCRA on May 29, 2017 regarding the accounting treatment to be applied to uncertain tax positions. Such treatment differs from that set out by the IFRS, and

| d) | as explained in notes 2.d) and 16, by reason of the partial sale of the shareholding in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A., the remaining stake was reclassified to “Investments in equity instruments” and measured at fair value through profit or loss on the basis of a valuation report prepared by an independent appraiser, net of the valuation adjustment mandated by the BCRA in its Memorandum No. 7/2019 dated April 29, 2019.

Information required by other legal and regulatory standards

In compliance with applicable provisions, we hereby report that:

a) | the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been transcribed to the Financial Statements for Reporting Purposes book, and arise from the Entity’s financial records which have been kept, in all formal aspects, in accordance with applicable legal standards;

b) | as of December 31, 2019, the Entity complies with the minimum shareholders’ equity and cash contra-account required by the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) for settlement and clearing agents, as indicated in Note 52 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements;

c) | we have reviewed the reporting summary required by the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) in respect of which, as far as the matters within our competence are concerned, we have no significant observations to make;

d) | as of December 31, 2019, and according to the Entity’s accounting records, accrued liabilities in respect of taxes and contributions owing to the Argentine Integrated Retirement and Pensions System amounted to $ 341,070,864, there being no due and payable debts as of such date; and

e) | in accordance with the requirements of Article 21, paragraph e, Section VI, Chapter III, Title II of the CNV’s rules (NT 2013), we hereby report that:

| • |  | the ratio of total professional audit services rendered by our firm, involving the preparation of reports on financial statements and other special reports or certifications on accounting or financial information, and invoiced to the Entity, to the total comprehensive amount invoiced to the Entity, including said audit services, for fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, is 97%;

NOTES TO THE SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019

(Stated in thousands of pesos)

1. | Basis for the preparation of the separate financial statements

As mentioned in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, BBVA Argentina S.A. (the “Bank”) presents consolidated financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA.

These financial statements of the Bank are supplementary to the consolidated financial statements mentioned above and are intended for the purposes of complying with legal and regulatory requirements.

2. | Criteria for the preparation of the financial statements

These financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 were prepared pursuant to the reporting framework set forth by the BCRA that requires supervised entities to submit financial statements prepared pursuant to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), with the following exceptions (“financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA”):

| a) | application of the impairment model set forth in Section 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS No. 9 “Financial instruments” until the fiscal years commencing on January 1, 2020. On December 5, 2018, the Entity filed with the BCRA the impairment model to be applied within the framework of IFRS No. 9 as from January 1, 2020. On December 27, 2019, the BCRA published Communication “A” 6847 establishing that debt instruments issued by the non-financial public sector would be temporarily exempted from adopting the guidelines of paragraph 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9;

| b) | application of International Accounting Standard No. 29 (IAS No. 29) “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies,” which shall be applicable for the fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, taking into consideration the provisions of Communication “A” 6651 issued by the BCRA (see Note 3.2 to the consolidated financial statements);

| c) | the standards prescribed through Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the regulatory entity on May 29, 2017 regarding the treatment to be applied to uncertain tax positions. Had the IFRS treatment regarding uncertain tax positions been applied, liabilities would have decreased by 5,447,078 and 2,207,318 as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Likewise, income for fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 would have increased by 3,239,760 and 1,021,518, respectively (Note 15.c to the consolidated financial statements), and

| d) | the instructions provided by Memorandum No. 7/2019 issued by the BCRA on April 29, 2019, which set forth the accounting treatment to be applied to the remaining investment held by the Entity in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. recorded under “Investments in Equity Instruments” as of December 31, 2019 (see Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements).

The Bank has consistently applied the accounting policies described in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2019, in the fiscal years presented in these financial statements.

Investments in subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all the entities controlled by the Bank. The Bank owns a controlling interest in an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights over, the variable returns from its interest in the company, and has the power to affect the changes in such yields. The Bank reevaluates if its control is maintained when there are changes in any of the conditions mentioned.

Interests in Subsidiaries are measured using the equity method. They are initially recognized at cost, which includes transaction costs. After initial recognition, the financial statements include the Bank’s share in the profit or loss and OCI of investments accounted for using the equity method, until the date when the significant influence or joint control cease.

The financial statements as of December 31, 2019 of the subsidiaries BBVA Asset Management Argentina S.A. and Consolidar Administradora de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones S.A. (under liquidation proceedings) were adjusted considering the financial reporting framework set forth by the BCRA in order to present financial information in constant terms.

Other |  |  | 4,691 |  |  |  | 27,608 |
TOTAL |  |  | 3,096,972 |  |  |  | 2,133,285 |

Investment properties include real estate leased to third parties. The average term of the lease is 6 years. Subsequent improvements are negotiated with the lessee. The Group has classified these leases as operating leases, since these arrangements do not substantially transfer all risks and benefits inherent to the ownership of the assets. The rental income is recognized under “Other operating income” on a straight-line basis during the term of the lease.

Changes in investment properties for fiscal year 2019 are included in Exhibit F. Below is a breakdown of changes in the account for the fiscal year 2018:

|  | 12.31.18 |
Balance at the beginning of the fiscal year |  |  | 102,720 |
Derecognitions |  |  | (33,949 | )
Depreciation for the year |  |  | (2,403 | )
Balances as of December 31, 2018 |  |  | 66,368 |

18. | Non-current assets held for sale

On December 19, 2018, management agreed on a plan to sell a group of real property assets located in Argentina. Therefore, these assets, the value of which, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounts to 59,776, were classified as “Non-current assets held for sale”, after the efforts to sell that group of assets began.

During November 2017, management agreed on a plan to sell its ownership interest in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A., and therefore the accounting balance of that ownership interest is presented as “Non-current assets held for sale”, in the amount of 433,597 as of December 31, 2018. The sale of 51% of the Bank’s shareholding in such Company was completed on February 1, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the remaining ownership interest in this company was recorded under “Investments in equity instruments” (Note 13).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the President and Directors of

BBVA Argentina S.A.

Registered office: Av. Córdoba 111

Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

Taxpayer identification number [C.U.I.T.] 30-50000319-3

Report on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying separate financial statements of BBVA Argentina S.A. (the “Entity”), which include the separate statement of financial position as of December 31, 2019, the separate statements of income, other comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended, and explanatory notes and exhibits.

The balances and other information for fiscal year 2018 are an integral part of the referred separate financial statements and, therefore, shall be considered in the light of these financial statements.

Board of Directors’ and Management’s responsibility for the financial statements

The Board of Directors and Management of the Entity are responsible for the preparation of the accompanying separate financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting framework established by the Argentine Central Bank (“BCRA”), which, as indicated in note 2 to the accompanying separate financial statements, is based on the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as approved by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and adopted by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences (“FACPCE”), except for section 5.5. “Impairment” of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies,” which were temporarily excluded by the BCRA from the financial reporting framework applicable to financial institutions. In preparing its financial statements, the Entity has also considered the standards prescribed through Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the BCRA on May 29, 2017 regarding the treatment to be afforded to uncertain tax positions, and Memorandum No. 7/2019 issued by the BCRA on April 29, 2019 concerning the valuation of the equity interest held by the Entity in Prisma Medios Pago S.A. The Board of Directors and Management are also responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal controls deemed necessary to enable the preparation of separate financial statements free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these separate financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards set forth by Technical Resolution No. 37 of the FACPCE and the auditing standards set forth by the BCRA applicable to the audit of financial statements (“Minimum Standards applicable to External Audits”). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit entails performing procedures on a selective basis to obtain judgmental elements on the disclosures included in the financial statements. The selected procedures depend on our professional judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatements in the financial statements. In performing such risk assessment, we have considered the Entity’s existing internal control on the preparation and presentation of the financial statements in order to select the appropriate auditing procedures in light of the circumstances, but not in order to render an opinion on the effectiveness of such internal control. An audit also involves assessing the accounting criteria used by the Entity, the material estimates made by the Board of Directors, and the overall presentation of the financial statements. We consider the judgmental elements we have obtained are valid and sufficient to support our opinion.

##### Table of Contents

Opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying separate financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the separate financial position of BBVA Argentina S.A. as of December 31 2019, as well as the results of its operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with the BCRA financial reporting framework described in note 2 to such separate financial statements.

Emphasis of matter

Without further modifying our opinion, we draw users’ attention to the information disclosed in note 2 to the accompanying separate financial statements, which should be considered for the interpretation thereof:

| a) | The accompanying separate financial statements have been prepared by the Entity’s Board of Directors and Management in accordance with the BCRA financial reporting framework, which differs from IFRS as to the application of section 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”; such section was temporarily excluded by the BCRA from the financial reporting framework applicable to financial institutions. The Entity is currently calculating the impact of the first-time adoption of such standard as of December 31, 2019;

| b) | According to the terms of Communication “A” 6651 issued by the BCRA, the Entity has not applied IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” in preparing the accompanying financial statements. The existence of an inflationary context affects the Entity’s financial position and profit or loss and, therefore, the impact of inflation may distort accounting disclosures and shall be taken into consideration when interpreting the information the Entity provides in these accompanying separate financial statements on its financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows. The Entity has estimated the impact of the restatement into constant currency on its financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, which would result in an increase of 11,148,000 and 10,707,295 in shareholders’ equity, respectively, and a decrease of 23,935,000 and 17,090,946 in income, respectively;

##### Table of Contents

| c) | The accompanying separate financial statements have been prepared taking into consideration the standards prescribed through Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the BCRA on May 29, 2017 regarding the accounting treatment to be applied to uncertain tax positions;

| d) | By reason of the partial sale of the shareholding in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A., the remaining stake was reclassified to “Investments in equity instruments” and measured at fair value through profit or loss on the basis of a valuation report prepared by an independent appraiser, net of the valuation adjustment mandated by the BCRA in its Memorandum No. 7/2019 dated April 29, 2019. The accounting criteria applied purports to a deviation from IFRS 9 concerning the measurement of equity instruments at fair value.

Information required by other legal and regulatory standards

In compliance with applicable provisions, we hereby report that:

| a) | the accompanying separate financial statements have been transcribed to the Financial Statements for Reporting Purposes book, and arise from the Entity’s financial records which have been kept, in all formal aspects, in accordance with applicable legal standards;

| b) | as of December 31, 2019, the Entity complies with the minimum shareholders’ equity and cash contra-account required by the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) for settlement and clearing agents, as indicated in Note 2 to the accompanying separate financial statements;

| c) | as of December 31, 2019 and according to our accounting records, accrued liabilities in respect of taxes and contributions owing to the Argentine Integrated Retirement and Pensions System amounted to $ 334,989,609, there being no due and payable debts as of such date; and

| d) | in accordance with the requirements of Article 21, paragraph e, Section VI, Chapter III, Title II of the CNV’s rules (NT 2013), we hereby report that:

| • |  | the ratio of total professional audit services rendered by our firm, involving the preparation of reports on financial statements and other special reports or attest reports on accounting or financial information, and invoiced to the Entity, to the total comprehensive amount invoiced to the Entity, including such audit services, for fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, is 97%;

| • |  | the ratio of total professional audit services invoiced to the Entity to total professional audit services invoiced to the Entity and its subsidiaries and affiliates is 70%, and

| • |  | the ratio of total professional audit services invoiced to the Entity to the total comprehensive amount invoiced to the Entity and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including audit services, is 69%.

We performed our review in accordance with the terms of Argentine Companies Law No. 19550, as amended, and to the extent deemed pertinent, in accordance with the provisions of Technical Pronouncement No. 37 issued by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences. Such standards require that we review the financial statements referred to in paragraph I in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles in Argentina, and that we verify the consistency of the documents subject to review with the information on corporate decisions disclosed in minutes, and the compliance of such decisions with the Law and the corporate by-laws in all formal and documentary aspects.

In conducting our review of the documents detailed in paragraph I, we have examined the work performed by the external auditors KPMG, who issued their auditor report on February 18, 2020 including an unqualified opinion and an emphasis matter paragraph concerning certain issues disclosed in the financial statements, which are described in paragraph III of this report.

##### Table of Contents

Our work embraced planning our review, defining the nature, scope and timing of the procedures applied, and reviewing the conclusions of the audit performed by said auditors.

An audit entails performing procedures on a selective basis to obtain judgmental elements on the disclosures included in the financial statements. The selected procedures depend on our professional judgment, including the assessment of the risk of material misstatements in the financial statements. In performing such risk assessment, we have considered the Entity’s existing internal control on the preparation and presentation of the financial statements in order to select the appropriate auditing procedures in light of the circumstances, but not in order to render an opinion on the effectiveness of such internal control. An audit also involves assessing the accounting criteria used by the Entity, the material estimates made by the Board of Directors, and the overall presentation of the financial statements. We consider the judgmental elements we have obtained are valid and sufficient to support our opinion.

III. | EMPHASIS MATTER

Without altering our opinion, we call attention to the following aspects: As explained in Note 2 a) to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and Note 2 to the separate financial statements, the financial statements were prepared by the Entity’s Board of Directors and management in accordance with the financial reporting framework established by the BCRA. These standards differ from the IFRS in that the BCRA has temporarily excluded the application of paragraph 5.5 “Impairment” of IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” from the financial reporting framework applicable to financial institutions. The Entity is currently calculating the impact of the first-time adoption of such standard as of December 31, 2019.

As explained in notes 2.b) and 3.2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and Note 2 to the separate financial statements, pursuant to the terms of Communication “A” 6651 issued by the BCRA, the Entity has not applied IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” in preparing the accompanying financial statements. The existence of an inflationary context affects the Entity’s financial position and profit or loss and, therefore, the impact of inflation may distort financial disclosures and shall be taken into consideration in the interpretation of the information the Entity provides in the accompanying financial statements concerning its financial position, comprehensive income and cash flows. The Entity has estimated the impact of the restatement into constant currency on its financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, which would result in an increase of $ 11,148,000 and $ 10,707,295 in shareholders’ equity, respectively, and a decrease of $ 23,935,000 and $ 17,090,946 in income, respectively.

As explained in note 2.c) to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and Note 2 to the separate financial statements, they were prepared by the Entity’s Board of Directors and management also in accordance with the rules prescribed by Memorandum No. 6/2017 issued by the BCRA on May 29, 2017 regarding the treatment to be given to uncertain tax positions. Such treatment differs from the provisions of IFRS.

Finally, as explained in notes 2.d) and 16 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and Note 2 to the separate financial statements, due to the partial sale of the shareholding in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A., the remaining stake was reclassified to “Investments in equity instruments” and measured at fair value through profit or loss on the basis of a valuation report prepared by an independent appraiser, net of the valuation adjustment established by the BCRA in its Memorandum No. 7/2019 dated April 29, 2019. The accounting criterion applied purports to a deviation from IFRS 9 concerning the measurement of equity instruments at fair value.

IV | OPINION

We have reviewed the Entity’s financial statements as of December 31, 2019 which, in our opinion, fairly present, in all material aspects, the consolidated financial position of BBVA Argentina S.A. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2019, as well as their profits and losses, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended in accordance with the financial reporting framework established by the BCRA which is described in note 2 to said consolidated financial statements, as well as the accompanying separate financial statements which are described in note 2 thereto. As far as the matters within our competence are concerned, we have no observation to make about the Board of Directors’ Letter to the Shareholders referred to in paragraph I, i), with the forward-looking statements contained therein being the exclusive responsibility of the Entity’s Board.

Breakdown of changes in the main income/loss items

BBVA Argentina S.A. recorded an accumulated profit of 31,351,416 as of December 31, 2019, representing a return on average shareholders’ equity of 60.35%, a return on average assets of 7.89%, and a return on average liabilities of 9.07%.

Accumulated net interest income totaled 55,224,581, up by 111.35% compared to December 2018. Such increase was mainly driven by higher interest on government securities and interest on credit card loans, offset by the increase in interest expenses of time deposits.

Accumulated net commission income totaled 6,628,680 accounting for a 20.43% increase compared to December 2018. This growth is mainly due to higher income from price increases, commissions linked to obligations (deposits), credit cards and foreign trade and exchange transactions, offset by commission expenses for credit and debit cards.

On February 1, 2019, 2,344,064 registered, common shares with a nominal value of $ 1 each and one vote per share held by the Bank in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. were transferred to AI Zenith (Netherlands) B.V. (a related company of Advent International Global Private Equity).

As set forth in the Offer for the purchase of the referred shares made by AI Zenith (Netherlands) B.V., and accepted by the Bank, the total estimated price adjusted was USD 78,265,273, out of this amount, on February 1, 2019 the Bank received USD 46,457,210, and the unpaid balance shall be deferred over the following 5 (five) years as price balance, and settled as follows: (i) 30% of such amount shall be paid in Pesos, adjusted by applying the CER (UVA) at an annual nominal rate of 15% and (ii) 70% in US Dollars at an annual nominal rate of 10%. According to the BCRA’s provision rules, a provision of $ 1,936,341 was recorded as of December 31, 2019.

By virtue of the partial sale of the shareholding in Prisma Medios de Pago S.A. the remaining stake has been measured at fair value through profit and loss on the basis of the valuation reports issued by independent appraisers and taking into account the resolution of the BCRA in that regard.

On July 22, 2019, the Entity completed the assessment of the selling price of the shares. Such price amounts to USD 76,947,895.33. The gap between the final price and the estimated price was discounted from the outstanding balance; therefore, the Bank did not have to return the funds it had received.

The other payment conditions have remained unaltered.

As a consequence of this transaction, profit amounting to 2,644,937 was recognized in “Other operating income” as of December 31, 2019.

##### Table of Contents

Accumulated administrative expenses and personnel benefits totaled 25,409,499, a 57.45% increase vis-a-vis December 2019. The increase in personnel expenses is mainly a consequence of salary increases agreed with the union. The remaining expenses grew due to the increased volume of activity, the general increase in prices, currency depreciation and increase in utility rates.

Outlook

Amidst the declining demand for credit and the flight of US-dollar denominated deposits in the wake of the election outcome in 2019, BBVA Argentina and all other banks managed to show that they comprise a strong financial system, within the reach of everyone, and capable of remaining stable against serious shocks, as the ones that occurred last year.

BBVA Argentina will continue pursuing its strategy based on digital transformation, in order for its 6,321 employees, distribution network, distribution channels, and business alliances, to deliver customers the best experience in handling their finance, with affordable, convenient and innovative products to remain the trusted bank of many Argentinians.

Against this backdrop, BBVA Argentina seeks to go on enhancing efficiency levels, while continuing with its endeavors to contribute to the development and training of work teams. In terms of assets growth, and concerning its various lines of business, the Bank will focus on those adding value to customers, supporting the development of the financial system.

Finally, as part of its commitment to the country, BBVA Argentina will keep on working on its sustainability model, and supporting responsible business actions to address issues such as inclusion, financial literacy, and environmental protection.

It is worth noting that, on September 20, 2017, the Central Bank issued Communication “A” 6327, which provides that financial institutions may not distribute earnings generated upon the first-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and are required to create a special reserve which may only be reversed for capitalization or to offset potential losses against the item “Unappropriated retained earnings.” In addition, following the proposed distribution of earnings, the Group shall maintain the capital conservation buffer.

Letter from the Chairwoman

Buenos Aires, February 18, 2020

To the Shareholders,

Looking back to 2019, we can assert it has been a challenging year. Exchange rate volatility and soaring inflation led to the need for tightening the monetary policy by raising interest rates, with the ensuing impact on economic activity. Against this backdrop, the Argentine financial system has displayed its strength, maintaining healthy balance sheets, and high solvency and liquidity levels. In this regard, it should be reminded that the system has experienced a significant foreign currency deposit drain, without impairing its liquidity and being capable of duly addressing customers’ demands, all of which has built confidence among the public. This was possible thanks to the prudential financial regulation approach currently in place and adequate performance by financial institutions and competent oversight and regulatory authorities.

Looking forward, the Argentine economy still has certain challenges ahead to return to a sustainable growth path. In this regard, the strength of the financial system will support economic activity, using savings to extend credit to productive sectors, generating wealth and welfare for the society as a whole.

As regards the BBVA Group, one of the key milestones in 2019 has been the adoption of a single “BBVA” brand and logotype, at a global level. This new identity reflects the Group’s values, particularly, our “We are one team” motto, which emphasizes the importance of our employees and their commitment. In Argentina, the use of a single brand has become effective since June 7, 2019, when BBVA Banco Francés S.A. became BBVA Argentina S.A. The purpose of BBVA is still focused on satisfying its customers’ needs, by “offering them the best, simplest and most convenient solutions to help them make the best financial decisions, using both digital and traditional channels.”

BBVA Argentina has joined the UN Principles of Responsible Banking and has signed the Sustainable Finance Protocol. Both initiatives seek to foster a sustainable banking system, fair and accountable towards the community, and are meant to help fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

Concerning the Bank’s activity in 2019 and despite the challenging economic conditions, BBVA Argentina has managed to post a profit at year-end, and has strongly committed to creating opportunities for its customers. These results were possible thanks to an adequate business strategy primarily anchored to digital transformation, and increased operational efficiency, all of which has enabled the Bank to attract new customers, while deepening the business relationship with the existing ones, through ongoing improvement in the quality of our service and product offering. Therefore, for fifth year in a row, BBVA Argentina has ranked as the most recommended bank, according to an NPS resulting from a survey conducted by Ipsos Argentina S.A. in 2019.

During the year, we continued focusing efforts on transformation. The Bank completed the cultural change it had committed to and started to operate under the “agile” methodology, whereby focus turns to customer care and addressing their needs. BBVA Argentina remains at the forefront, using technology and data as main management tools. Ongoing progress has continued to be made on the digital transformation process, by holding a new record of 2.7 million active customers as of December 2019. This will remain a significant action line for 2020.

I would like to express my gratitude to all BBVA Argentina’s employees, whose commitment and engagement help the Bank remain as one of the leading banks in the Argentine financial system.

Letter from the CEO

Buenos Aires, February 14, 2020

In 2019, the global economic environment remained uncertain, with economic distress due to the trade war between the US and China, the unresolved Brexit issue, and other geopolitical problems. Amidst this uncertain global scenario with low inflation, central banks eased their monetary policies to boost activity. The decline in global economic development, coupled with overall risk aversion and lower commodity prices, took their toll on Latin America. The region grew below its potential in a year in which many countries experienced periods of political and social instability.

Locally, early last year, the exchange market was calm, and interest rates had entered a bearish cycle. The alarming inflation data for the first quarter and growing exchange volatility led the Argentine Central Bank to agree upon with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) the possibility to intervene in the exchange market, even within the previously established non-intervention zones, and to further tighten the monetary policy. Once the outcome of the primary elections was announced, markets had quite a negative reaction, with prices collapsing across all Argentine assets, and unleashing extremely high volatility. A new depreciation event, loss of reserves, and surging inflation forced the Argentine government to “re-profile” its short-term debt maturities denominated in both pesos and US dollars.

In addition, the Central Bank adopted certain emergency measures, such as exchange controls, to curb the strong decline in reserves and stabilize the exchange rate. Such controls were further hardened in the wake of October’s presidential elections. Against this backdrop, it is worth noting that the Argentine system again proved strong and solvent, despite a significant drain of US-dollar deposits, without affecting its liquidity.

Since taking office on December 10, the new administration has maintained the exchange controls in place and started to cut the monetary policy rate. It also implemented tax reforms, including an increase in export duties and a 30% tax on purchases of foreign currency.

Amidst a recessionary context, high inflation and uncertainty, including a substantial decline in activity and a drain of deposits, at BBVA, we have stayed extremely focused, taking care of our liquidity, managing margins and asset quality, standing by our customers to give them peace of mind in times of fear and uncertainty, and sticking to our transformational mission.

In 2019, BBVA Argentina displayed a remarkably favorable performance in terms of earnings and also in terms of relevant competitive ratios, such as ROE, ROA and Efficiency. We have gained market share in key markets, such as credit card financing and spending, check discounting, payroll direct deposit, and sight deposits, among others.

Our selective growth strategy, primarily anchored to our franchise, was successfully implemented. We have more customers (individuals and businesses), and more payroll accounts amidst a very competitive market as it is Argentina’s. We are still focused on transformation, endeavoring to make processes more agile and digital, with considerable enhancements in our digital offering.

We have also maintained our position as the bank increasingly preferred by Argentineans. For the fourth year in a row, we were the most recommended Bank in Argentina in terms of service quality and customer service. We have more than 2.7 million customers, out of which more than 60% conduct their banking transactions through our website, and almost 50% operate through our mobile app.

Undoubtedly, all these achievements are the result of the work done by the great team we have at BBVA.

Personally, I would like to acknowledge the efforts of all our employees and encourage them to keep working with the same level of commitment and embracing the same values that make BBVA a distinct bank. I am very proud of being part of such great team. In 2020, we will continue pursuing our growth and deep transformation strategy, without losing control of and managing our risks. Nothing in this environment can prevent us from continuing to pursue leadership. We will keep developing digital functionalities and improving our processes for customers to keep preferring us, while efficiently focusing our efforts to achieve productivity gains and improve service quality.

Finally, I would like to thank our shareholders for the trust placed on BBVA. Your ongoing support inspires us to keep on building this great project.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR

Macroeconomic Environment

Global Outlook

Global growth declined all over 2019, with growth rates slightly below 3% in annual terms during the second half of the year—from 3.6% recorded in 20181. Stronger trade protectionism and geopolitical risks had a negative impact on economic activity, primarily on exports and investment, in addition to the contraction of China’s economy due to structural challenges, and cyclical economic moderation in the US and the Eurozone. However, the countercyclical policies announced by central banks last year, together with the recently relieved trade tension between the US and China, and the suppression of the risk of a messy Brexit in the short term, are paving the way for certain global growth stabilization, which currently relies on the relatively strong performance of private spending, supported by the relative strength of labor markets, and low inflation. Accordingly, global growth is expected to stand at 3.2% both in 2019 and 2020.

Concerning monetary policy, last year, the major central banks eased their monetary policies. In the United States, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”)2 cut interest rates by 75 basis points (bps) to 1.75% from July to October. As to the Eurozone, in September, the European Central Bank (ECB)3 announced a set of monetary policies to support the economy and the financial system, including: i) a 10 bps reduction in deposit interest rates to -0.50%; ii) the adoption of a stepped system for deposit interest rates; iii) a new bond-buying program in the amount of Euro 20.00 billion per month; and iv) enhanced financing conditions for banks in the ECB liquidity auctions. The most recent signs of growth stabilization led both central banks to make the decision of maintaining interest rates unaltered in recent months; however, they may still take additional stimulus measures if the economic environment deteriorates further. In China, in addition to fiscal stimulus policies and exchange rate depreciation, the government announced it would reduce reserve requirements for banks and cut official interest rates. Accordingly, interest rates will remain low for longer time in major economies, affording emerging countries further scope for action.

Local Outlook

In 2018, the economic activity in Argentina shrank by 2.5%, as a result of a serious drought and local currency depreciation, amidst fiscal restraints and an extremely hawkish monetary policy. By the end of September, the Argentine government announced a new exchange and monetary arrangement, defining peso floating zones, and further tightening the monetary policy4. This arrangement remained in place until late April 2019, when pressures on the exchange rate, together with negative March’s inflation data, led the Argentine Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to agree that the monetary authority would be able to intervene in the FX market at its discretion, and that the free floating zones previously set would be maintained as a reference5. With this arrangement in place, the exchange rate volatility remained low which, coupled with the government’s announcement that public utility tariffs would not experience further hikes, prompted a disinflation process.

Meanwhile, the IMF disbursed US$ 10.80 billion and US$ 5.40 billion in April and July, respectively, adding up US$ 44.90 billion of the total committed of USD 57.00 billion.

On August 11, the primary electiobs were held in Argentina, triggering an adverse reaction from markets, bringing about exchange market turmoil and a growing lack of confidence in Argentine assets. In just a few days, the prices for Argentine government securities fell by 20% and prices for local companies’ shares plummeted more than 40%, while the US dollar-peso exchange rate surpassed AR$ 60 to US$1. In other words, the Argentine peso depreciated more than 25% in just 4 days. Against this backdrop, the Central Bank was forced to intervene in the market, with relatively poor success, by selling foreign currency, causing international reserves to decrease by around US$ 2.00 billion.

With markets fully closed and in an attempt to prevent a default, the Argentine government decided to reschedule its short-term sovereign debt, and announced it would engage in the renegotiation of the stand-by agreement with the IMF. The measure involved approximately US$ 19.00 billion, and only affected institutional investors.

Since taking office, the administration of Mauricio Macri substantially eliminated the exchange controls that had been imposed by the former administration. However, on September 1, 2019, in an effort to address Argentina’s economic instability and the substantial depreciation of the local currency in August 2019 in the wake of the primary elections, the government established that, until December 31, 2019, individuals and legal entities would require the Central Bank’s previous authorization to be able to access the exchange market to purchase foreign assets in the amount in excess of US$ 10,000 per month, borrow and settle new financial indebtedness, and make dividend and other distributions, among other things. In addition, before making payment of foreign financial debt, evidence will be required that the transaction has been reported in the External Assets and Liabilities Survey6.

The presidential elections were held on October 27, resulting in the victory on first round of Alberto Fernández and his running mate Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (“Frente de Todos”), replicating the outcome of August’s primary elections.

In an attempt to strengthen exchange controls and prevent further losses of Central Bank’s reserves set aside to contain the exchange rate, the monetary authority tightened the prevailing exchange restrictions after the outcome of the primary elections were announced.

Alberto Fernández took office on December 10. The first measures adopted by the new administration are targeted at raising taxes and expenditures addressed to Argentina’s most vulnerable sectors. Such measures are primarily contained in a newly enacted law dubbed “Social Solidarity and Productive Revival Law.” Besides, in line with the former administration’s policies, the new government decided to reschedule US$ 9.00 billion worth of Argentine short-term debt (in addition to the already rescheduled debt).

Economic Data

Economic Activity

Based on official data for the third quarter of 2019, the economic activity as measured in terms of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) shows a 1.7% decrease compared to the same period in 2018, while in seasonally-adjusted terms activity shows a slight 0.9% rebound vis-a-vis the previous quarter. During the first two quarters of the year, this change was -0.7% and -0.1%, respectively.7

On the other hand, in November 2019, the Monthly Economic Activity Indicator (EMAE) fell by 1.9% compared to the same month in 2018, while slightly declining by 1-7% vs. October 2019, in seasonally adjusted terms. The economic activity contraction was related to the deterioration of domestic financial conditions, further deepening the prevailing economic recession and primarily affecting consumption and investment levels.8

As to the labor market, the most recent official data available is for the third quarter in 2019 and reflects an increase in the unemployment rate, which stands at around 9.7% compared to 9.0% in the third quarter of 2018.9

##### Table of Contents

Prices

The Domestic Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 53.8%10 in 2019, reflecting an increase in Argentina’s inflation rate of 47.6% in 2018, primarily as a result of local currency depreciation and several adjustments to regulated prices, primarily, public utilities, in the first quarter of 2019 (1Q-19).

Underlying inflation reached 56.7% due to the effect of currency depreciation on prices. Certain sectors experienced above-average price hikes, such as Health (72.1%), Communication (63.9%), Household Furniture and Maintenance (63.7%), Food and Beverages (56.8%), and Goods and Services (55.9%).

Public Finance

The domestic public sector recorded a primary deficit of AR$ 95.12 billion in 2019, accounting for approximately 0.44% of GDP, and a 72.0% decrease compared to the previous year’s deficit.

Primary public spending showed a year-on-year 37.2% increase, while public sector revenues rose by 51.4%. The service of interest on public debt increased by 86.2% as a result of both incremental borrowing and the effect of depreciation on foreign-currency denominated liabilities. The total deficit reached AR$ 819.40 billion, accounting for a 12.6% increase compared to 2018.

As to spending, capital expenditures displayed a year-on-year 12.4% increase, while subsidies to economic sectors rose 20.3%, partially offsetting the effect of devaluation on energy prices. Total welfare benefits, operating expenditures, and transfers from the federal government to the provinces increased by 46.6%, 31.6%, and 61.3%, respectively.

Tax receipts increased by 48.2%, primarily as a result of a 304.6% increase in revenues from exports duties.

External Sector11

The trade surplus in 2019 reached US$ 15.99 billion, reflecting a substantial reduction compared to the deficit in the amount of US$ 3.82 billion in 2018. This result is attributable to exports totaling US$ 65.11 billion, which account for a 5.7% increase compared to the previous year. Exports of primary products rose by 25.1%, while exports of agricultural products—which account for 36.8% of total exports—grew by 4.5%. Exports of industrial products declined by 6.8% while exports of fuel and energy increased by 4.1%.

On the other hand, imports totaled USD 49.12 billion in 2019, equivalent to a 25.0% decline compared to 2018. All imported items decreased as a result of the economic contraction and the impact of the peso depreciation.

During the first three quarters of fiscal year 2019, the balance-of-payments current account deficit12 amounted to US$ 6.43 billion, accounting for a 74% decrease compared to the same period in 2018. The external sector adjustment is attributable to a strong contraction of imports.

Concerning the FX market, the exchange rate hiked to 58.4% during the year, to stand at AR$ 59.90 per US$1 as of December 30, 201913. During the year, the exchange market went through three different periods. The “non-intervention zone” arrangement was in place from the end of 2018 up to April. The exchange market was quite volatile and the peso-dollar exchange rate rose to AR$ 44.01-US$1, or a 16% increase. In late April, the IMF and the Central Bank agreed upon that the monetary authority would be allowed to unrestrictedly intervene in the market, causing the exchange rate to reach certain stability. In fact, the exchange rate advanced 3.2% only to AR$ 45.40-US$1. However, on August 12, the outcome of the primary elections unleashed a divestiture of Argentine assets, causing the AR$-US$ exchange rate to increase to 31.9%.

##### Table of Contents

At year-end, international reserves totaled US$ 44.78 billion,14 accounting for a decrease of USD 21.02 billion, compared to December 2018, primarily due to debt repayments, interventions in the FX market, and a decrease in bank’s legal requirements due to the flight of US dollar-denominated deposits.

Monetary Policy

In 2019, Argentina’s monetary policy set forth strict controls on the monetary base and provided for an exchange rate “floating zone.” This arrangement was implemented as part of the Stand-By Agreement entered into with the IMF, and also to support a fiscal consolidation goal. The plan was devised to help stabilize inflation and relieve pressures on the exchange market, in the wake of the sudden investment of capital flows that took place in 2018. The Central Bank established a monetary base zero-growth target for the year (in addition to some technical adjustments to tackle seasonality issues and interventions in the FX market).

During the first two months of 2019, this policy was quite successful in curbing inflation and nominal volatility prevailing in the economy. However, in March-April, a new exchange volatility event occurred, resulting in further inflation. Against this backdrop, the Central Bank increasingly hardened Argentina’s monetary targets for the year (suspending seasonal increases in the monetary base, scheduled for June and December). On April 29, the Central Bank announced it would intervene directly in the FX market to the extent needed to tackle excessive volatility events. With these announcements, the monetary authority managed to stabilize the local currency until the primary elections. At the beginning of the year, the exchange rate was AR$ 37.93 per US$ 1 to climb to AR$ 45.40 per US$ 1 on August 9, two days before the primary elections, after all the aforementioned events.

As a result of the primary elections held on August 11, President Macri was boldly defeated by Peronist party candidate Alberto Fernández. The unexpected and broad difference in favor of Fernández was perceived by the market as a too disturbing event. Hence, the exchange rate hiked by 30% within the three days following the elections, from AR$ 45.40 to AR$ 58.83 per US$ 1, amidst a context burden with uncertainty over the future of the Argentine economy. The Central Bank started to dispose of reserves to put a halt on the decline. One week after the elections, Minister of Finance Nicolás Dujovne resigned and was succeeded by Hernán Lacunza.

In light of the substantial (and incremental) capital outflows and huge payments of short-term debt falling due the following weeks, Minister Lacunza unilaterally rescheduled short-term Treasury bills (denominated in US$ and AR$), rolling over their maturities for 180 days (except for those held by individuals). His decision exacerbated capital outflows and withdrawals of US-dollar deposits from domestic banks. As a result of these developments, International Reserves plummeted 18.4% (or US$ 12.20 billion) from August 9 to August 30.

To address these hardships, the President enacted Decree No. 619/2019 ordering that the Central Bank implement exchange controls, while imposing on exporters the obligation to settle all US-dollar proceeds from their exports in the official market. Accordingly, the monetary authority set a monthly limit of US$ 10,000 to buy foreign currency without specific purpose (that is, without imposing restrictions on imports or debt repayments), among other measures effective since September 1. These regulations helped curb capital outflows and foreign exchange volatility until the presidential elections scheduled for October 27.

However, International Reserves would continue declining to reach US$ 43.51 billion on October 25 (from US$ 66.30 billion recorded on August 9), due to several factors, including incremental withdrawals of US dollar-denominated deposits (accounting for the decline in reserves in the amount of US$ 7.05 billion), debt repayments in the amount of US$ 8.20 billion made by the Argentine government, and continuing sales of US dollars by the Central Bank to curb devaluation pressures (US$ 7.45 billion) during that period.

Alberto Fernández won the presidential elections of October 27 and, on that very same evening, the Central Bank drastically cut the limit to purchase foreign currency up to a monthly cap of USD 200 per person. As a result, the demand for US dollars in the official market was almost reduced to zero, while alternative and parallel exchange rates started to hike and gain relevance in terms of volume.

##### Table of Contents

The new President took office on December 10. One week later, the new administration submitted a bill dubbed “Social Solidarity and Productive Revival Law” to the Congress for approval. The bill was passed on December 23 and turned into Law No. 2754115. With the enactment of this bill, the government adopted several measures, including an increase in export duties and the creation of a 30% tax levied on the purchase of foreign currency for travelling purposes, expenses made abroad, or without specific purposes. The other exchange controls remained unaltered.

LELIQ was the major monetary policy instrument during the year—a bill issued by the Central Bank which was devised to handle monetary conditions in the economy and whose interest rate was the key benchmark for the financial system. Since the monetary policy was quite hawkish during the year, the LELIQ rate always remained at high levels, at an annual average of 65%16.

Alberto Fernández clearly stated his intention to prompt fast and pronounced monetary easing in his first months in office. In December, the monetary policy rate was cut down from 63% to 55%, with the ensuing increase in the monetary base. All other reference interest rates were closely aligned with the changes in the LELIQ rate.

As a result of all these events, the monetary base grew by 29.7% during the year, reflecting a pronounced difference vis-a-vis the changes the monetary base had experienced since December 18 through October 19 (when it grew just by 3.7%) and since October 19 through December 19 (when it grew by 25%). Balances of banks’ current accounts at the Central Bank increased by 23.7% (due to the fact that the Central Bank reduced minimum cash requirements during the year), while cash held by the public rose to 35%17. The M2 monetary aggregate (including cash and sight deposits), measured in terms of balances, increased by 34.9% during the same period in line with the changes in the cash demand.

Financial System

All comparisons relating to the financial system contained in this annual report are stated in nominal terms.

The rise in already high rates, coupled with the strong depreciation of the Argentine peso and widespread uncertainty, took their toll on the functioning of the financial system all over the year, particularly, in the wake of August’s primary elections. Total peso-denominated deposits rose by 23.3%, while deposits exclusively held by the private sector grew by 35.3%.

Sight deposits18 grew by 45.9%, much more than time deposits which only increased to 24.7%, lagging behind as a consequence of deposits adjusted by applying the benchmark stabilization coefficient /purchasing power unit (CER/UVA) which increased to 18.9%, compared to traditional time deposits that rose by 24.8%.

US-dollar denominated deposits declined by 32.9%, concentrating the largest portion of the outflows that occurred after August’s primary elections. Despite these serious hardships, the financial system’s balance sheet did not exhibit signs of stress.

As to loans19, lending growth, in particular, in terms of consumer and corporate loans, was limited by high interest rates, the Central Bank’s restrictive monetary policy, and high uncertainty levels.

The stock of peso-denominated loans granted to the non-financial private sector grew by 18.3% during the year. Placements were led by credit cards, which grew by 47.0%. US-dollar denominated loans fell by 32.5% in terms of US dollars, in line with deposits denominated in that currency.

Changes in lending and borrowing rates20 were determined by the increase in the Central Bank’s reference interest rate (Leliq rate), which was standing at 53.7% in January 2019 but hit almost 78.4% in September, to decline by 55.0% on December 30, 2019.

Strategy

BBVA Argentina has identified transformation and growth as the drivers of its strategy.

Transformation

BBVA Argentina focuses on transformation based on the conviction that customer experience will be the decisive differentiating factor in the success of the institution in the coming years. Moreover, the financial intermediation activity is aligned with the technological revolution that is reshaping most industries, forcing the Bank to reconsider and redesign the model to service, attract and interact with customers in general.

The following describes the Bank’s primary transformational initiatives in 2019:

Digital Transformation

The Bank’s digital transformation began in 2015 with an expanded digital presence in Google and Facebook. In 2017 and 2019, the Bank’s digital strategy became more sophisticated by adding leading digital applications and focusing on excellence in user experience and digital sales solutions, thus supplementing the Bank’s traditional channels to become more productive and increase the number of customers.

BBVA Argentina believes this transformation differentiates it from competitors in terms of service quality, as it seeks to leverage data and technology to design offerings of products and services that meet customers’ needs.

The Bank’s digital transformation strategy is primarily focused on increasing customer self-service through digital tools, growing in an open market, and improving points of physical contact with customers. BBVA Argentina has been focused on developing an omni-channel service model, in which physical branches are just one of many ways of connecting with customers. While the Bank has an extensive countrywide branch network present in all provinces, the role of branches is changing and is expected to continue to change. More and more value-added transactions are expected to be served personally, while other types of transactions will be increasingly undertaken through digital channels.

In summary, the Bank’s digital transformation process is an essential element of its strategy, from both business and growth perspectives, which enables it to connect and serve customers in a manner consistent with their expectations. It also contributes to the Bank’s efficiency, paving the way for a better use of resources and delivering a competitive advantage.

Cultural Transformation—Agile

Commencing in the first quarter of 2018 and throughout 2019, the Bank undertook a cultural transformation under the name and concept of “agile,” with a focus on always putting the customer first and finding solutions to their needs. Under this new model, the Bank implemented a new organizational structure, providing greater resources to teams and new working methodologies including reorganization of roles and tasks, open communication and synergies fostered by open plan workspaces, and the latest technology available.

Growth

In 2019, BBVA Argentina reaffirmed its goal to increase its market share and is now one of the leading banks in the Argentine financial system. The Bank has implemented an ambitious growth plan which includes expanding the customer base, both for individuals and companies, as well as the size of its balance sheet. This growth plan, which was implemented by BBVA Argentina in 2017 and 2018, continued during 2019 in terms of expansion of the customer base of both individuals and companies, with an increase of over 137 thousand active customers during 2019, reaching an aggregate of 2.6 million retail customers as of December 31, 2019. With respect to small and medium-sized companies, BBVA Argentina reorganized the management model for this customer segment, providing service to small and medium-sized companies throughout the entire network of branches, thus enabling greater penetration of and closeness to smaller companies. On the other hand, the relevant opportunities in the Argentine market have been spearheaded by the highly qualified commercial team in place in Corporate Banking.

Management Report

2019 Performance

BBVA Argentina ended year 2019 as one of the leading financial institutions in the Argentine financial system, increasing its customer portfolio and gaining market share in its credit portfolio.

BBVA Argentina has displayed a good performance in a challenging year. As of December 31, 2019, the Bank posted a profit of AR$ 31.35 billion, accounting for a 223% increase vis-a-vis the previous year. Average return on equity (ROE) amounted to 60.3% and average return on assets (ROA) was 7.9%.

Activity

BBVA Argentina continues pursuing a growth plan launched in the second quarter of 2017 in order to consolidate its leadership position in the Argentine financial market. In 2019, the Bank displayed an outstanding performance and maintained a good growth pace, increasing its market share in private loans in pesos by 40 bps. In December, such market share reached 6.1%.

20

##### Table of Contents

The net loan portfolio totaled AR$ 198.34 billion at year-end, reflecting a 9.3% increase year-on-year. Considering private-sector loans in pesos only, the Bank’s net loan portfolio increased by 12.4%.

Against this backdrop, the Bank reviewed its strategy focusing on the most profitable and value adding products and segments. The Bank also continues pursuing its digital transformation process.

As a result, the retail business portfolio rose to 43.7%. Mortgage loans displayed an outstanding performance, since a substantial portion of such loans are UVA-linked, allowing the Bank to reach a 46.9% increase in this line at year-end. On the other hand, the credit card business experienced a substantial increase towards the end of 2019 (69.8% year-on-year). However, personal loans remained steady. Pledge loans decreased due to declining car sales in 2019.

As in the previous year, BBVA Argentina’s market share in the credit card financing and spending business rose by 128 bps and 139 bps, respectively. Besides, the Bank gained market share in the debit card spending business (up to 50 bps).

Concerning the SMEs segment, the Bank has made progress with the rearrangement of its business lines and service models in order to increase penetration.

In 2019, peso-denominated commercial loans grew by 5.6%, primarily as a result of financing facilities granted to SMEs in the form of notes discounting and the incremental volume of overdrafts.

The Entity’s market share in commercial loans fell by 6.7% at year-end.

Foreign-currency denominated loans fell not only in BBVA (59.3%) but also in the financial system as a whole.

In 2019, the Argentine government eliminated the Productive Financing Facilities pursuant to which credit facilities were granted at a regulated rate, and a FONDEP facility was created to offer SMEs more affordable rates on their note discounting transactions.

In terms of portfolio quality, at year-end, the non-performing portfolio ratio (non-performing loans/total loans) was 3.2%, with a coverage level (total allowances/non-performing loans) of 239.9% as of December 31, 2019. These ratios evidence certain deterioration of both the retail and the commercial loan portfolio.

At year-end, BBVA Argentina had a portfolio of government securities in the amount of AR$ 49.30 billion, allocated as follows: AR$ 33.06 billion to LELIQs, and the remaining balance to domestic government securities in pesos and US dollars.

##### Table of Contents

With respect to liabilities, customers’ deposits amounted to AR$ 293.98 billion, which accounted for a 13.3% increase in the trailing twelve months, including the revaluation of US-dollar denominated deposits. The financial system, including BBVA, experienced a drain of foreign-currency denominated deposits in the wake of the outcome of the primary elections, which led to a lower growth pace compared to previous years.

During that period, sight deposits had an outstanding performance, increasing by 41.7%, while time deposits remained steady, primarily in response to investment and liquidity protection needs.

As of December 31, 2019, transactional deposits accounted for 71% of total private deposits.

As of December 31, 2019, the Bank’s market share in private-sector deposits was 7.1%, equivalent to an 86 bps decrease for the period.

It should be noted that in 2019, total deposits grew faster than lending, both at the Bank and system-wide.

Deposit funding is a structural component of the Bank’s financing, particularly, in the retail and corporate segments.

In December 2019, the Entity issued its 6-month Class 28 Corporate bonds for an aggregate principal amount of 1.967 billion at variable interest rate equal to private BADLAR, plus 4.0% in annual nominal terms. Interest payable on a quarterly basis.

Results of Operations

As of December 31, 2019, BBVA Argentina posted net income in the amount of AR$ 31.35 billion, accounting for a 223% increase compared to 2018, broken down as follows: net interest income grew by 111.4%, net fee and commission income grew by 20.4% and expenses, including general expenses, personnel benefits and other allowances grew by 81.3%.

Breakdown of Changes in the Main Profit or Loss Items

Net interest income: Net interest income totaled AR$ 55.22 billion, accounting for a 111.4% increase against the previous year, as a result of a 99% increase in income and an 83.8% increase in expenses.

Income grew faster than expenses, primarily due to a strong rise in interest rates on Central Bank’s instruments during the year, and a rising curve of rates applicable to private loans.

The increase in income is attributable, on one hand, to the system-wide increase in lending and government securities interest rates and, on the other hand, to the growing inflation affecting UVA-linked loans.

22

##### Table of Contents

Intermediation activity in foreign currency was affected by depositors’ demand for US-dollar banknotes, following the primary elections, which resulted in a decline in loan offering to the private sector.

Net fee and commission income: Net fee and commission income grew by 20.4% during the year, primarily as a result of a 45.0% increase in income and a 64.5% increase in expenses.

Even though the increase in income (AR$ 18.02 billion) was affected by a regulatory reduction in credit and debit cards pursuant to the established schedule, the performance of the several lines was favorable, with an increase in spending with the Bank’s cards and in the market share.

Besides, charges for collection services rose to 30% only, despite the Bank’s efforts to make the product profitable after the aforementioned increase in banknote balances.

On the other hand, the increase in expenses (AR$ 11.39 billion) was primarily attributable to the benefit programs the Bank offers to its customers, and to the incremental costs associated with the advertising campaigns it has been implementing. Besides, the costs of the LATAM benefit program are dollarized; therefore, the exchange rate depreciation has a strong impact on the level of commissions paid by customers.

Foreign exchange and gold gains (losses): During the year, this item rose to 61.3% due to the effect of the currency depreciation, as a result of the lending position maintained by the Bank and the more intensive foreign currency trading activity due to FX volatility.

Personnel benefits

Personnel benefits rose to AR$ 13.73 billion, accounting for an increase of 53.2% compared to fiscal year 2018. Such increase was primarily attributable to a salary raise agreed upon by the banks with the banking union to cover the gap between cumulative real inflation and the salary raise agreed upon by collective bargaining. It should be noted that, similarly to 2018, such salary raises were paid hand in hand with inflation hikes, rather than on a retroactive basis as in previous years.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses rose to 62.7%, primarily as a result of the exchange rate increase and, in particular, due to expenses in armored car services since, as a consequence of the post-primary elections high FX volatility, branches were in need for a larger amount of US-dollar banknotes to address the growing demand from customers, and also due to the purchase of card plastic as a consequence of our rebranding and technology upgrade (ContactLess).

Other operating expenses: The increase in this item is due to increased allowances for lawsuits, and a higher turnover tax liability.

Finally, the Bank remains strongly committed to maintaining expenses under control. In line with this goal, the Bank has been implementing several plans as part of its transformation strategy, including a reduction in cashier transactions at branches by means of a strong customer digitization campaign, streamlining processes and reallocating resources to more productive tasks.

Income (loss) from associates and joint ventures: In this line, the Bank recorded a net profit of AR$ 637.2 million. The line comprises the profit (loss) of nonconsolidated businesses, including the equity interest in Rombo Compañía Financiera and Consolidar Seguros, among others.

Plans for 2020

The year 2019 was a challenging one due to the complexity of the prevailing macroeconomic scenario, in addition to the presidential elections, held in October, which resulted in the victory of a new government. The economy was immersed in recession, with an almost 2.4% decline in GDP, extremely and persistently high inflation, and strong depreciation of the local currency. In an effort to contain inflation expectations and currency depreciation, the Central Bank tightened its monetary policy by introducing substantial rate hikes, but with little success. In response to this scenario, the outgoing government was forced to impose controls in the FX market, which have been increasing ever since and are still in place.

Against this backdrop, the demand for credit declined strongly, coupled with a widespread deleverage of banks’ balances in US dollars, and a substantial drain of US-dollar denominated deposits, without endangering the system’s strength.

However, BBVA Argentina and the other banks have managed to show that they comprise a strong financial system, within the reach of everyone, and capable of withstanding serious shocks, as those experienced during the past year.

At BBVA Argentina, we believe that increased currency stability and inflation containment are key to building a trustworthy financial system able to channel Argentinians’ savings and, hence, satisfy the demand for credit to leverage an economy that will gradually manage to rebound. However, the economic weakness will continue throughout 2020, which is posed as a truly challenging year for Argentina and for the financial system. BBVA Argentina has maintained its strength, both in terms of liquidity and capital, in order to contribute to the recovery of the economy and the country as a whole.

Accordingly, BBVA Argentina will continue pursuing its strategy based on digital transformation, so that its 6,300 employees, distribution network, distribution channels, and business alliances can provide customers with the best experience in handling their finance, with affordable, convenient and innovative products to remain the preferred and trusted bank for an increasing number of Argentinians.

In that vein, our growth plan will remain focused on gaining new customers as well as on building the relation with the existing ones, in order to boost cross-selling, by enhancing service quality and user’s experience, in digital and mobile channels and/or at the branch network.

BBVA Argentina seeks to keep enhancing efficiency levels, while continuing with its endeavors to contribute to the development and training of work teams. Satisfying customers’ actual needs is at the core of BBVA Argentina’s purpose: “help customers make the wisest financial decisions, by offering them the best trustworthy solutions, through a user-friendly and convenient experience, using digital and traditional channels.”

In terms of asset growth, and concerning its several lines of business, the Bank will focus on those that add value to customers, supporting the development of the financial system. In this regard, the focus is expected to be placed on products, such as credit cards and consumer loans, and on commercial banking short-term loans.

As to consumer loans, BBVA Argentina will continue striving to gain a leading position in the mortgage business, and cause its market share in personal loans to return to a growth path. The completion of these goals will be closely tied to a rekindled demand for credit. BBVA Argentina, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, seeks to maintain a leadership position in the pledge loan business and to remain one of the leading banks in the credit card business, along with its strategic partners.

Regarding commercial lines, BBVA Argentina seeks to gain market share in those in which it already has a stake, reinforce its penetration in the SMEs segment, and increase the number of payroll accounts under management, while boosting cross-selling with products targeted at individuals. The commercial strategy is aligned with the good portfolio quality BBVA Argentina boasts and seeks to maintain.

In terms of liabilities, the plan for 2020 will be focused on increasing transactional funding, contributing to improve the Bank’s funding, which will then translate into increased lending to customers and the society.

Finally, as part of its commitment to Argentina, the Bank will keep working on its sustainability model, and supporting responsible business actions to address issues such as inclusion, financial education, and environmental preservation.

Earnings Distribution Policy

BBVA Argentina has an earnings distribution policy consistent with its mission of generating sustained profitability for the shareholders, while contributing to the favorable development of the Entity’s equity to drive business and activity growth— all of which maintaining adequate liquidity and solvency levels, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Earnings Distribution

According to the applicable Central Bank’s rules on “earnings distribution,” in calculating distributable earnings, entities are required to make certain off-balance sheet deductions from the addition of balances carried in the account “Unappropriated Retained Earnings,” and in the optional reserve for future distribution of dividends.

The Central Bank eliminated the additional 75% requirement for the payment of dividends for financial institutions and, in line with Basel III, replaced it with:

| • |  | A capital conservation buffer equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets.

| • |  | An additional buffer equal to 1% of risk-weighted assets for entities qualifying as Domestic Systemically Important Banks (“D-SIBs”), as defined by the Central Bank.

| • |  | A contracyclical buffer currently set by the Central Bank at 0%. However, the Central Bank may increase such buffer to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets, based on its own assessment of the systemic risk.

Entities are required to pay in these buffers exclusively out of their core tier 1 capital (COn1). An entity’s failure to pay in these buffers may have several implications, including progressive restrictions on dividend distributions, share buy-backs, payments on other equity instruments, or payment of certain bonuses to employees.

Among its interim provisions, Communication “A” 6464 establishes that, until March 31, 2020, financial institutions which, for purposes of calculating their distributable earnings, have not increased by 1 percentage point the ranges of Tier 1 (COn1) Capital, net of deductions (CDCOn1), set out in the tables of paragraphs 4.1.4. and 4.2.4. of the rules on “Earnings Distribution”, shall require the previous authorization of the Office of the Superintendence of Financial and Exchange Entities (SEFyC) to distribute earnings. On the other hand, financial institutions will be allowed to distribute dividends provided that such financial institutions: (i) are not subject to the terms of Article 34 “Conformance and turnaround” and Article 35 bis “Restructuring of a financial institution to safeguard bank loans and deposits” of the Financial Institutions Law (Law No. 21526); (ii) are not receiving financial assistance from the Central Bank; (iii) are not in arrears or have not infringed the reporting requirements established by the Central Bank; and (iv) are compliant with minimum capital and cash requirements.

Furthermore, the Central Bank issued Communication “A” 6768 which sets forth that, effective August 30, 2019, financial institutions will be required to have the Central Bank’s previous authorization to distribute earnings. As part of the authorization process, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions will consider, among other things, the potential effects of the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, as per Communication “A” 6430 (paragraph 5.5. of IFRS 9 – Impairment of Financial Assets) and the restatement of financial statements required under Communication “A” 6651.

The Board of Directors of BBVA Argentina resolved to submit for the consideration of the Shareholders at Meeting the payment of cash dividends in the amount of AR$ 2.50 billion.

Directors’ Fees and Compensation Policy

In Argentina, the Board of Directors’ remuneration is governed by the Argentine General Companies Law and by the CNV rules. According to such standards, the remuneration payable to directors must be approved by a majority of shareholders, gathered at the annual shareholders’ meeting. Besides, total fees and other compensation payable to directors may not exceed 25% of an entity’s realized and liquid profits, if dividends are distributed. In this regard, the CNV establishes a calculation formula, which is capped at 25% of the entity’s liquid and realized profits, and would hence require a dividend distribution equal to 75% of liquid and realized profits. If no dividends are distributed to shareholders, then, the total remuneration payable to the Board of Directors will be limited to 5% of the entity’s profits, as permitted by the Argentine General Companies Law.

Branches

The Entity continues delivering on a commercial strategy based on a full-service concept across all segments, through multi-tasking managers, capable of meeting Individual and Corporate customers’ needs, strengthening customized service at each branch for transactions that require specific documents and controls.

The network service model is reinforced with servicing improvements, which seeks, as one of its goals, to foster customers’ self-service by developing multiple channels.

Digital Banking

One of BBVA’s goals, globally and also in Argentina, is fostering digital transactions. Therefore, the Bank keeps encouraging its customers to shift to the digital world for their banking business, so as to receive a better service and have an improved experience in the use of their products. The Bank continues working on the same lines of actions it has been pursuing: customer acquisition, excellence in user’s experience, and digital sales solutions.

Undoubtedly, in Customer Acquisition, the Bank’s focus is still placed on increasing the incentives and processes for digital channels to be key players in achieving this goal. Referral campaigns are no longer addressed to product bundles, but now also include payroll products. Proactive or reactive product sales processes are streamlined in an attempt to enhance customer’s experience, information disclosure and transparency during the purchase process, seeking an increasingly broader digital experience.

As regards Experience, during the second half of 2019, BBVA Argentina managed to maintain the first position in the Web Channel NPS within its peer group, reaching 57%, which means a 56% increase vis-a-vis 2018 (which accounted for 80% under the previous methodology), and a 54% increase compared to 2017 (which accounted for 70% under the previous methodology). In this same line, offering the best availability in the market in terms of web and mobile browsing is still one of the Bank’s main challenges. Therefore, leveraging the technology tools that provide the most suitable solutions, the Bank will keep trying to improve its own parameters year after year. The Bank has also kept encouraging and approaching those users, through digital advertising or face-to-face channels, who may be interested in joining the digital world and have not yet tried, or have not tried certain functionalities, to tell them how easy it is.

As a result of all these changes, BBVA Argentina managed to increase the number of digital customers that operate on both the web and the mobile channels, with a 66% share in the total active customer portfolio, improving the 59.4% share of 2018.

Individuals

The following list of achievements summarizes the development of Digital Banking amidst this group of customers:

| • |  | Onboarding of Payroll Customers to the Referrals proposal, with great success among new customers.

| • |  | Possibility of becoming a Payroll Customer at Home Banking and through the public website, and kickoff of a new product called “Payroll Advance,” which can only be hired online.

| • |  | Adjusted credit risk available for customers, to increase their limits and engagement in digital transactions.

| • |  | New sales process for non-customers to improve their experience and make it increasingly digital.

| • |  | The Bank modified its public website in line with the corporate model, and also made changes to all aspects concerning the change of brand. Besides, the Bank has continued with its efforts to improve the experience in both payroll customers and bundles.

| • |  | Mobile phone insurance purchase through mobile banking, offering an enhanced experience.

| • |  | More alternatives for transaction referrals from brick-and-mortar to digital channels, enabling integration across them.

All these deployments translate into:

| • |  | A substantial increase in the number of credit cards and product bundles sold by digital channels, now also including payrolls.

| • |  | An increase in the share of digital personal loans (including UVA-linked loans) in the total lending portfolio.

| • |  | Keep improving the ratio of Retail Customers’ Investments in digital channels.

In addition to the new developments and functionalities, the Bank also gave an important boost to the program advertising in the media, with an unbeatable value proposition for users and customers (offering more raffles and vouchers during the year).

Quality and Customer Experience

In 2019, BBVA Argentina continued working in line with BBVA Group’s purpose, that is, “bringing the opportunities of this new era to everyone,” consistently with its strategic priority of “delivering the best customer experience,” expanding the scope of the “Customer Experience” vision, focused on needs of the “People-Customers.”

The Bank, leveraging a powerful feedback infrastructure and the NPS as indicator of excellence and ongoing improvement, has developed a plan to learn about the customers’ experience at each point of contact with BBVA Argentina and with each product or service acquired.

The plan is based on information on customers’ main needs at each interaction with the Bank, with a strategy targeted at the execution of the most impactful projects and processes, based on arrangements that help ensure the permanence and sustainability of a culture oriented to enhance the experience, by building a Unique Experience for all Bank’s Customers.

One of the key pillars to achieve differentiation is “understanding people’s needs” when designing products and services that keep up to their expectations. Offering “innovative” solutions is the road that leads to a genuine transformation, now and in the future.

Therefore, the Quality and Customer’s Experience Plan for 2020 encompasses designing a governance model that will generate specific improvement actions for points identified as a priority in customers’ interactions, exploring new manners to listen to the customer’s voice, beyond the NPS surveys, with the engagement of the entire organization.

The incremental production volumes from the Argentine agro-export sector, which is the major foreign-currency generating sector, had a positive impact on exports in terms of amounts, primarily due to the local currency depreciation.

Export duties on the main agricultural and livestock products (meat, milk, corn, wheat, sunflower, and soya-derivatives) were reinstated at year-end.

Regarding the business development, efforts were focused on growing the customer base, with more than 500 new customers.

Data & Engineering

The Data & Engineering area’s strategy is aligned with BBVA Argentina’s global commercial strategy and its mission is contributing to the BBVA Group’s strategic priorities by:

| • |  | Being an enabler that makes the new commercial strategy work by way of process transformation and provision of streamlined solutions, with shorter and automated software development workflows (DevOps) that improve marketing terms and facilitate component reuse, with more efficient implementation cycles for global products, greater data-based process flexibility and availability and transaction transformation.

| • |  | Preserving and boosting profitability, leveraging new technology paradigms that enable access to new productivity orders in data processing and software development, such as by means of business process re-engineering; and transformation of and excellence in transactions.

| • |  | Continuing to provide support to current businesses, with special focus on reliability, asset and process management, data consistency and integrity, addressing the demands of traditional businesses and regulations.

Some of the main examples of process transformation projects at the Bank undertaken in 2019 can be summarized by describing the following specific cases:

| • |  | Expanded operations associated with digital customers: Ongoing process re-engineering specially designed for customers to have digital experiences from their first contact with the Bank, including extended implementation of dynamic electronic forms for several products, generalization of workflows with biometric signature collection, and implementation of new robust credentials to log in electronic channels.

| • |  | Comprehensive migration to Analog to Digital Processes (A2D): Extended and deeper process re-engineering across all banking units intended to go paperless in all branches and central areas’ workflows with the ultimate purpose of eliminating any exchange of paper-based documents among them, and achieving a substantial reduction in internal and external correspondence.

| • |  | Kickoff of specific Operating Model Transformation initiatives in order to migrate the current face-to-face servicing models to remote and/or self-service models, so as to customize them to the needs of new businesses, and scale them up to be able to serve increasing numbers of customers.

| • |  | Electronic Channel Modernization: Upgrade of user interfaces across several Online Banking (both for individuals and enterprises) and Mobile Banking channels, optimizing the operation of existing functionalities, implementing new features and products, and strengthening their associated security arrangements (for instance, the deployment of soft token credentials). Full redesign of systems and interfaces to support BBVA’s rebranding in Argentina.

| • |  | Automation of operating tasks, by re-engineering manually-intensive internal processes, through the deployment of hardware and software solutions to build efficiency and security when executing each task, reducing response times, and streamlining the associated operating workflows.

| • |  | Upgraded functionality in servicing devices, increasing the number of transactions at self-service terminals in order to free up customer service workflows at branches.

| • |  | Data management transformation with the Transcendence Project: Development and incorporation of new knowledge and analytical skills in different functional profiles across the Bank’s areas in order to streamline data entry processes and transform information and its utilization in the best interests of the business.

| • |  | Adjustments to local infrastructure for the implementation of the Group’s New Technology Platform (Ether), which will be gradually deployed in the coming years. During the year, the Entity intercepted the flow of new initiatives, developing them within a hybrid structure supported by the new global platform.

| • |  | Adjustments to current foreign trade processes to include regulatory updates and amendments that involved changes to be executed at minimum intervals and development of new functionalities and checks to be embedded in several systems of the Bank.

In addition to the existing ongoing upgrade of the technological architecture and infrastructure in the aggregate to support business processes, as well as security-specific architecture and infrastructure to protect information assets, comprehensive data management re-engineering is deployed by adding special infrastructure for storage, management and large-scale use, addressing the demands of new business models. In 2019, progress was made with Data Scientist and Data Specialist education and training profiles, and with the creation of the first comprehensive analytical models within the new data platform.

The Logic Security (IT and Fraud Security) and the Physical Security management areas were synergized in order to offer comprehensive and coordinated responses to increasingly sophisticated threats, redoubling efforts in data and strategic asset protection activities. During the year, the Entity undertook projects associated with Corporate Security as a whole, with initiatives focused on cybersecurity, data security and protection, anti-fraud measures, physical security, and deployment of security and business continuity elements, regulatory compliance, and safety and security. Besides, several areas of the Bank carried out a cybersecurity exercise, intended to continue assessing how effective and efficient the security measures deployed, the crisis management procedures, and the response capacity to potential disruptive scenarios are.

To reinforce the transformation model of the Data & Engineering area, during the year, the Entity completed the deployment of the Agile organizational structure across all areas and work teams, with substantial improvements in business solution development dynamics and response times. The entire structure was reinforced with several internal training programs under the Ninja and Tech University projects, encompassing specific talks and workshops, as well as several technical courses of studies at three levels, open to all management members.

Risk Management

BBVA Argentina continues to adjust its comprehensive risk management model in order to efficiently address customers’ requirements and the changing macroeconomic environment. Furthermore, the model is focused on the ongoing improvement of tools and processes, with emphasis on detecting, monitoring, and mitigating each of the risks the Entity is exposed to.

This model makes it possible to satisfactorily comply with the guidelines set forth by the Central Bank communications.

“Risks” comprises the following major groups:

| • |  | Credit Risk: The possibility that a counterpart fails to comply with its contractual obligations in relation to a certain transaction.

| • |  | Financial Risks: Potential losses generated by changes in market prices or credit quality which determine the value of the Bank’s assets and liabilities.

| • |  | Non-financial Risks: The risk of potential losses from human errors, inappropriate or defective internal processes, system failures or as a consequence of external events.

| • |  | Internal Control and Reporting: The control and monitoring areas are in charge of giving cohesion to credit risk management and ensuring that the other risks which are critical to the Entity are managed in accordance with established standards.

| • |  | Strategy, Solution Development and Center of Expertise (COE): It is the area in charge of the assessment, development and implementation of Domain Projects, as well as other Domains requiring from the liquid pool with credit skills.

It also includes the “Center of Expertise (COE) – Risks” tasked with developing and monitoring models and parameters used by Risks and also by the affiliates.

Risk Appetite

Risk Appetite is approved by the Board of Directors and determines the risks and the level of risk it is willing to assume to achieve business objectives. These are expressed in terms of solvency, profitability, liquidity and financing, among other metrics.

39

##### Table of Contents

The risk appetite statement of BBVA Argentina is as follows:

“The risk policy of BBVA Argentina is focused on promoting a universal, multi-channel and responsible banking business model, based on principles, with the objectives of sustainable growth, risk-adjusted profitability and recurring value generation. To achieve these objectives, the risk model is aimed at maintaining a moderate risk profile, which allows us to maintain a strong financial position to tackle adverse situations without compromising our strategic goals, prudent management, comprehensive risk visibility, portfolio diversification by asset classes and segments, and maintenance of a long-term relationship with the customer.”

Credit risk

As of December 2019, the non-performing ratio was 3.64%, while the coverage ratio was 114%. Changes in these ratios indicate a deterioration of the credit risk portfolio due to the macroeconomic situation prevailing in Argentina. Anyhow, BBVA Argentina is positioned as one of the banks with best credit quality in the Argentine financial system.

Management Units

The different risk units support commercial banking management efforts, regarding admission, monitoring and recovery of credits.

Retail Risks: This unit manages retail banking customers, including admission by means of predictive/statistical tools, both reactive and behavioral, admission of special cases, management of tools and policies, and portfolio and recovery process monitoring.

40

##### Table of Contents

The unit made progress with the development of methods and tools that facilitate risk management in an automated manner, increasing availability within web channels, which implies a qualitative change in the proactive offering of services, achieving greater decentralization in credit decision making, and allowing admission teams to improve their value contribution—both aspects of substantial relevance to commercial banking. New entirely automatic actions were completed relating to Payroll Advance, which are updated on-line.

Currently, a methodology is used by risk groups, which enables a more customized offer on admission and enhanced management capacity for problematic recovery. This methodology has also incorporated regional differentiation, both in minimum income and credit assistance by product, as well as by differentiated purchasing power.

The proactive strategy is maintained on customers and non-customers using the Hermes tool, generating more offers to the best profiles.

In terms of monitoring, the unit conducts detailed portfolio analyses, and maintains a risk and control strategy on risk monitoring, taking automatic actions upon a change in the market.

Recovery activity is part of a comprehensive management process that encompasses both actions aimed at preventing default as well as those carried out from the moment a default occurs until partial or total recovery of the defaulted principal. Within this ongoing process, there are different teams, tools and strategies in place according to the type and / or situation of the customer or asset. To ensure process continuity, the implementation of information feedback mechanisms, tool connectivity, joint committees, etc. is required.

To achieve its goals, the recovery team needs to rely on strategies, which requires a segmentation and allocation process. Segmentation involves selecting groups of customers and managing them consistently. The indicators relied upon for customer segmentation need to be dynamic and tailor-made to the recovery proceedings that will be pursued. Allocation involves assigning the most efficient recovery strategy to each customer group. The strategy so allocated will be executed by a team in charge of the recovery proceedings. Recovery strategies should be considered jointly, looking for actions and solutions leading to the partial or total recovery of past due balances, as efficiently as possible.

Middle Market and Corporate Risk: Focused on addressing business needs, a dynamic structure has been achieved, with an end-to-end processes comprising Admission, Monitoring and Recovery, in close relationship with the requirements of the environment, always taking into account the principles of prudence, anticipation and diversification—all necessary conditions to maintain a standard of excellence in risk quality.

The coordination among commercial and risk teams remained a priority, trying to improve response times across all areas and aiming to satisfy business demands, while maintaining risk quality.

On the other hand, in an attempt to strengthen the decentralization model, the Bank has made progress with the development of an automatic offer tool targeted at the SMEs segment, giving feedback on both the offer quality and the reasons for rejection.

The Bank has continued to avail of the Risk Analyst tool, targeted at large companies and corporations, which enables specific analyses for several business sectors, using a rating model for the SMEs segment. The use of statistical tools has allowed the Bank to undertake expert analysis to respond in advance to customers’ credit needs.

As to risk monitoring, the Bank takes a proactive approach, by means of an alert system and strong coordination with the commercial areas, in order to anticipate collection challenges. To support such concept, the Bank has been developing an ambitious plan to visit customers throughout Argentina.

In addition, and as part of an end-to-end system, monitoring activities are embedded in comprehensive recovery actions, anticipating and enhancing the recovery process as a whole.

41

##### Table of Contents

Recovery activities are part of a comprehensive management workflow which encompasses two types of actions—those aimed at preventing default, and those taken from the time a default is triggered until the total or partial repayment of principal. The area’s working methodology is to aim for automation and improvements in processes with existing resources, generating shorter response times, reducing recovery times, increasing specialization levels and boosting profitability as measured in terms of collections by resource, as well as efficiency gains, taking into consideration the absorption of higher levels of work.

Financial Risks

BBVA Argentina has developed a comprehensive risk management framework in order to identify, measure, monitor, mitigate and control financial risks, which is in line with the basic principles of the Basel’s Banking Supervision Committee.

This framework consists of a set of management policies and strategies, organizational structures, measurement tools, limits and alerts, and information and control systems.

Market Risks

Market risk is defined as the likelihood of incurring losses in the trading portfolio value as a consequence of adverse changes in market variables affecting the valuation of financial products and instruments.

The main market risk factors the Entity is exposed to include:

| • |  | Interest rate risk: From exposure to changes in the various interest rate curves.

| • |  | Foreign exchange risk: From changes in the various foreign exchange rates. All positions in any given currency other than the financial reporting currency give rise to foreign exchange risk.

VaR (“Value at Risk”) is the key metric capturing market risk exposures, estimating the expected maximum loss with a 99% confidence level and a time horizon of 1 day. Market risk management includes follow-up to certain limits, sub-limits and alerts in terms of VaR, economic capital, stress and stop loss.

In 2019, the Bank’s average VaR was Ps. 83.05 million, with interest rate risk being the main factor our trading portfolio is exposed to.

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | Counterparty Risk

Counterparty risk is the likelihood of a party to a contract failing to honor its obligations as a result of that party’s insolvency or payment inability, resulting in a financial loss for the other party. Both the trading portfolio and Banking Book may engage in transactions against customers; therefore, both are exposed to counterparty risk, which hence requires joint measurement and management.

| • |  | Valuation Risk

Prudent valuation is part of the market risk identification, assessment, follow-up, monitoring, and mitigation process. The function involves reporting on market prices and generating the necessary variables as inputs to assess positions in financial instruments comprising the trading portfolio and banking book, and customers’ holdings in custody.

Structural Risks

| • |  | Liquidity and Financing Risk

At BBVA Argentina, liquidity and financing risk is defined as the possibility that the Entity will not be able to comply with its payment obligations without incurring in significant losses that could affect its daily operations or financial position.

Some of the fundamental metrics used for the measurement, monitoring and control of this risk include:

LtSCD (Loan to Stable Customers Deposits): it measures the relationship between net credit investment and stable customer funds. The objective is to preserve a stable financing structure in the medium and long term.

LCR (Liquidity Coverage Ratio): it measures the ratio of high-quality liquid assets to total net cash outflows over a 30-day period. The objective is to preserve a cushion of assets or management buffer that absorbs liquidity shocks in the short term.

In 2019, both indicators remained within the limits approved by the Board of Directors.

On the other hand, the liquidity risk management process also includes intraday liquidity risk management, for which the Bank has a procedure in place encompassing monitoring actions and controls over its intra-day liquidity position.

| • |  | Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is defined as the possibility of changes in the interest margin and / or in the economic value of the Bank’s equity due to fluctuations in market interest rates.

Some of the main metrics used for the measurement, monitoring and control of this risk include:

| • |  | Margin at Risk: it quantifies the maximum loss that could be recorded in the projected financial margin at 12 months under the worst-case scenario of interest rate curves for a given level of confidence.

| • |  | Economic Capital (EC): it quantifies the maximum loss that could be generated in the economic value of the Bank under the worst-case scenario of interest rate curves for a given level of confidence.

During 2019, the EC indicator remained within the limits approved by the Board of Directors, while the Margin at Risk indicator has reached high levels since August. This increase was attributable to a sharp rise in market rates and volatility in the curves used in calculating this indicator.

On the other hand, the Bank is aligned with capital and financial margin principles, standards, and controls associated with interest rate risk management established by the Central Bank under Communication “A” 6397, and it is making progress in compliance with such resolution.

Economic Capital (EC)

In accordance with the “Guidelines on Risk Management in Financial Institutions” established by the Central Bank, BBVA Argentina has developed an internal, integrated and global process to assess the adequacy of its economic capital based on its risk profile and elaborates, on an annual basis, the capital self-assessment report (IAC).

Economic capital is the amount of capital considered necessary to cover unexpected losses that the Bank could face due to the risks to which it is exposed.

As of November 2019, the distribution of economic capital used by type of risk is as follows:

Stress Tests

In compliance with the “Guidelines for Risk Management in Financial Institutions” established by Central Bank, BBVA Argentina has developed a stress test program which is framed within the Bank’s comprehensive risk management process.

44

##### Table of Contents

Stress tests are defined as the evaluation of the Bank’s economic and financial position under a severely adverse but possible scenario, requiring scenario simulations that help estimate the potential impact on the portfolio value, profitability, solvency and liquidity, with the purpose of identifying latent risks and detecting vulnerabilities. The main function of stress tests is to serve as a risk management and capital allocation tool among the Bank’s businesses.

Every year, BBVA Argentina carries out a comprehensive stress test exercise to quantify the impact of adverse macroeconomic scenarios on the entity’s solvency, profitability and liquidity position, taking into account all the relevant risks to which it is exposed and considering the existing interactions between them.

The results of the stress tests carried out in March 2019 corresponding to the 2019/2020 projection period show the solvency and liquidity position of the Bank, even under adverse scenarios such as those analyzed therein.

Non-Financial Risks

Management has an area specialized in admission, monitoring and mitigation of operational risks, allowing it to align its actions with the risk appetite of BBVA Argentina.

The Control Model aims at anticipating the relevant risks during the operational risk life cycle, and has three lines of defense (LoD) to manage risk in several areas:

The first LoD encompasses Business and Support areas and is accountable for ensuring adequate management of operational risks arising from the activities inherent to their respective areas.

The second LoD comprises specialists on each type of risk, who define the overall mitigation and control framework in their respective risk areas (cross-cutting the entire organization) and challenge such framework against the one deployed by the 1st LoD.

The 3rd LoD is Internal Audit, which reviews and independently challenges operational risk controls, processes and systems, with process and risk area visibility.

Non-financial risk management methodology is based on the identification of the Bank’s operating processes and the operational risks to which they are exposed, assessing their criticality, and managing their mitigation, if applicable. This management process was developed by using various tools for the admission of new businesses, products or services, for their qualitative (process mapping, risks and controls) and quantitative (operational loss base) management and for outsourcing management.

It is a comprehensive operational risk management model, in line with international standards, which allows us to conform to the environment and necessary internal requirements.

Internal Risk Control

Some of the main functions of Internal Risk Control include ensuring that there is a sufficient internal regulatory framework, an adequate Governance framework, as well as a defined process and measures to address each type of risk; monitoring its application and operation; and ensuring that an assessment is made of the existence of a control environment and its proper implementation and operation. The area contains a model validation team which ensures that the relevant risk models are subject to effective checks, independently from their respective developers or users, in order to ensure their robustness, stability, and suitability for their intended purpose.

Strategy and Solution Development

The new structure endeavored to create new tools to grant pre-approved offers on-line (primarily oriented to the SMEs segment) as well as on the self-service of certain products, such as Check Discounting / Loans.

45

##### Table of Contents

The Bank also undertook a comprehensive project to automate and enhance the rating process, which is scheduled to continue throughout 2020 so as to shorten response times and improve customer service.

Regulatory projects played a key role in 2019 and are expected to continue in 2020.

Concerning models, the Bank created the Advance Analytics area, in charge of monitoring management’s and affiliates’ models. One of the highlights in 2019 was the recalibration of parameters to conform to IFRS 9 at the level of the Bank and its affiliates.

Control Areas

Audit

The Internal Audit function is an objective and independent assurance and consultation activity, conceived to add value and enhance the Bank’s operations, embracing a consistent and disciplined approach to assess and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes.

It is a far-reaching area, whose scope of action includes all of the Group’s activities and entities, without exception. The activities and services outsourced by the Group are also included within Internal Audit’s scope of action. The function can freely access employees, work areas, systems, soft and hard records and files and, generally, all such necessary information to adequately discharge its duties, being liable to keep such information confidential and comply with applicable data protection laws and regulations.

Internal Audit is the third line of defense within BBVA Group’s internal control structure. As such, it will review the activities carried out by the first and second lines of defense. The area’s functions are varied, the most important of which include:

a) | Assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of internal control and risk management policies and systems, and government processes and policies established by the Group.

b) | Assessing the reliability and integrity of the process to prepare financial and management information made available to management and the Board of Directors, as well as the information submitted to oversight authorities.

c) | Assessing capital and liquidity measurement processes.

d) | Assessing the consistency of information security systems to verify their confidentiality and resilience, as well as asset protection and safeguard systems.

e) | Assessing the effectiveness of the processes in place to comply with internal rules, specific banking regulations, and any other applicable laws.

f) | Investigating unusual behaviors or conducts which do not seem to be in line with applicable laws or with the Group’s Code of Conduct. These investigations are initiated ex parte as a consequence of the audit procedures performed, or at the request of other areas, such as Compliance, Legal Services, Risks, among others.

Internal Audit has a methodology in place applicable to its entire scope of responsibility. Such methodology encompasses specific procedures for each working phase: risk assessment, planning, execution, communication of results, follow-up to recommendations, and quality controls. Such methodology is consistent with best professional practices.

Risk Assessment (RA) is an ongoing analysis process of the risk inherent to and control level of business processes and lines. RA helps identify and prioritize all risks the Bank and its related companies are exposed to, and allows the Entity to reach a set of conclusions which serve as a risk map and focal points within each business line. These conclusions, together with the regulatory authorities’ requirements, requests from internal customers and their strategic priorities, and other aspects based on the internal audit’s own knowledge, give shape and underpin the plan for the following fiscal year.

46

##### Table of Contents

The Internal Audit Plan sets out the activities developed by the department during the year (audits and resources required to perform them) and is approved by BBVA Argentina’s Audit Committee. In 2019, Internal Audit has prepared a three-year plan which seeks to address the main stakeholders’ expectations.

The plan was structured based on 11 types of risks, resulting in the following focal points:

Internal Audit activities are performed following specific programs, according to several processes or businesses and are adequately documented. Audit findings are stated in reports which include a global rating, consistent with the level of the identified control weaknesses. The recommendations to address these weaknesses are included in a Corrective Plan, which is an integral part of the auditor’s report. Such plan is followed up until completion.

The following reports are produced for each risk, namely:

On the other hand, at monthly meetings, the Audit Committee learns about all reports and the respective identified weaknesses, with special emphasis on relevant reports and follow-up to the execution of the actions to address the weaknesses identified by Internal Audit.

Compliance

Compliance is tasked with fostering the development and watching for the enforcement of the rules and procedures which are required to ensure:

| • |  | Compliance with applicable legal provisions and standards of ethics affecting each of the Bank’s businesses and activities, as well as the action criteria and guidelines set out in the Code of Conduct.

| • |  | The identification of any potential breach and appropriate management of the resulting potential risks.

The responsibilities and duties of the Compliance area include, together with those associated with the aforementioned purpose, specific responsibilities related to counselling and training to the other employees, and to the execution of certain internal procedures and controls aimed at:

| • |  | Fostering upright conducts in accordance with the most rigorous ethical standards and applicable laws.

| • |  | Preventing internal conducts that may unlawfully interfere with the ordinary operation of securities markets.

| • |  | Taking measures to prevent the use of the bank’s products and services to perpetrate money laundering or terrorist financing activities.

| • |  | Protecting customers in the marketing efforts of the Bank’s products and services.

##### Table of Contents

BBVA Argentina has undertaken a strong commitment to compliance with the law and its principles require acting with uttermost honesty, integrity and transparency, both inside and outside the Bank, in our interactions with customers, agents, intermediaries, suppliers, business partners, public or private institutions and other third parties engaged with the Bank.

A culture of compliance and ethical conduct means designing, approving and enforcing policies aimed at preventing and eradicating corruption. BBVA Argentina rejects each and every corruption practice intended to gain an unlawful or undue advantage. The Bank expects that its employees, third parties and itself commit to be actively engaged in the prevention and fight against corruption, both in the public and private sectors.

BBVA Argentina’s Anti-corruption Policy sets forth the principles and guidelines enshrined in the Code of Conduct, establishing the scope of action to prevent, detect and foster the communication of corrupt practices or risky situations, set specific behavioral guidelines in sensitive activities or areas, help recognize assumptions warranting special precaution and, if in doubt, provide suitable advice.

Accordingly, BBVA Argentina administers its Code of Conduct, encouraging everyone to get acquitted with it and managing the Whistleblowing Channel. In summary, the Bank seeks to ensure upright and ethical behaviors, and contributes to a compliance culture at the Group’s level.

At BBVA Argentina, the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing is a key priority, and it is part of BBVA Group’s commitment to fostering and preserving the welfare of the several social environments in which it conducts business.

To the Bank, preventing the use of its products and services for criminal purposes is essential to preserve its corporate integrity and, hence, one of its core assets—i.e., people’s trust and the confidence of the institutions with which it interacts day to day (customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers and the society in general).

Achieving this goal requires, on the one hand, being absolutely determined to cooperate with governmental agencies and with the judiciary in countering organized crime, terrorism and other forms of crime and, on the other hand, securing certain specific elements (policies, procedures, organizational structures, and technical and human resources) ensuring financial institutions’ effective cooperation with the common goal of separating proceeds obtained by criminals and depleting their sources of financing.

In this regard, the Bank has a robust anti-money laundering and terrorist financing system in place which contains the policies, procedures and controls for AML/CFT risk management purposes and the compliance elements required by applicable laws.

As to user protection, and in compliance with the regulatory authorities’ requirements, the Bank has appointed a Financial Services User Protection Officer to handle these issues, together with a dedicated team.

The protection of financial services users’ interests is an essential principle embraced by BBVA Argentina and its Group when marketing products and delivering services. To this end, the Bank needs to design and establish suitable product governance mechanisms and procedures to act in the best interests of customers, from the beginning of the life cycle of each product and service offered to customers.

In this regard, BBVA Argentina’s Board of Directors has approved a Product Governance Policy which sets out the principles that should be observed in assessing the characteristics and risks inherent to products and services, as well as in defining their respective distribution and tracking conditions, so that users’ interests are taken into consideration at all times, ensuring compliance with applicable user protection laws and regulations.

Talent & Culture

BBVA Argentina keeps working at a local level to achieve one of BBVA Group’s key strategic priorities— Being the best team. In this vein, the Bank has set up a plan which encompasses initiatives to attract, develop and retain talent, assigning each employee to the right position and encouraging a cultural transformation based on BBVA Argentina’s values and conducts in order to create the best workplace.

Agile at BBVA

BBVA Argentina started to implement the Agile methodology during the first quarter of 2018, as an innovative manner to execute projects and processes, with cross-functional teams, working in short cycles to try and iterate, creating new solutions based on the customer experience. In 2019, most of the Group’s central areas were aligned to the agile methodology.

An agile organization strives to have a highly productive model, with sufficient flexibility to change its setup to create value opportunities. By implementing this change, the organization seeks to:

| • | Create independent and cross-functional teams with organization and “end-to-end” execution capacity to handle developments and the operations they are accountable for.

| • | Cause teams to be more efficient in producing enhanced quality and more agile deliverables, providing solutions to customers’ needs and reducing the time-to-market.

| • | Provide the Bank with capacity to dynamically assign teams to priority projects and processes at each time, with increased talent liquidity.

| • | Generate engagement among employees to help unleash people’s talent and reinforce their commitment with a more vivid team spirit.

The ultimate purpose of the Agile transformation is encouraging a methodological and cultural change, placing execution teams at the core of the organization.

Culture

BBVA Group’s purpose is “bringing the opportunities of this new era to everyone.” In making such purpose come true, it needs to be reflected in the corporate culture—a set of shared values, beliefs, policies, practices and conducts that build an identity and allow the Entity to move forward in the same direction.

In this regard, the Bank has defined the corporate values and behaviors that seek to guide its day-to-day activities. The Bank’s 3 values and 9 behaviors include:

50

##### Table of Contents

Customer is first |  | Thinking big |  | We are one team
We are sympathetic |  | We are ambitions |  | I am committed and engaged
We are upright |  | We are innovative |  | I trust the others
We take care of your needs |  | We surprise the customer |  | I am BBVA

Since 2018, the Bank has been organizing the “Values Day”, a global event conceived to reflect and work on values and behaviors. In 2019, the event was simultaneously held on the 19 geographic locations where the Group has a footprint, with the participation of more than 123,000 employees from corporate offices and the commercial network in order to identify barriers, opportunities and solutions to existing challenges to reach our transformation goal. Participation was both face-to-face and remote, from an app which helped gather the workshop outputs and enabled the engagement of all employees.

On the other hand, the Bank kicked off a series of talks and workshops on diversity and inclusion, particularly focused on unconscious biases. These events were led by national and international subject-matter experts.

Commitment Management

Since 2016, the Bank has been conducting the Gallup survey to measure its employees’ level of commitment, incorporate a new feedback channel to furnish indicators to the Talent & Culture area, and keep building the best team. In 2019, the Bank conducted a new survey, which yielded the following results in Argentina:

Global Average: 4.1 over 5

eNPS: 68

Commitment Ratio: 5.9

Action Plans: 3.9

Getting Closer Plan – Tours and “Meetup Program”

The Management Committee’s tours are part of a program conceived to get close to our people in order to listen to and interact with them directly, strengthen the bond with our employees, communicate our key business agendas, and reflect on our corporate culture.

BBVA Argentina’s meetup program also continued during the year—breakfasts targeted at an outstanding performance segment, which are arranged by members of the Management Committee. This year, the program was focused on the Agile transformation at BBVA Argentina.

Internal Communication

The Bank permanently seeks to be in touch with employees, get to know their needs and keep them informed in order to facilitate the interaction across all areas and divisions (cross-cutting, bottom-up, top-down, and bi-directional). Therefore, several internal communication channels are maintained including:

In-house magazine “Protagonistas”: It is a monthly electronic magazine that includes strategic business information, relevant projects, and stories of BBVA Argentina’s employees. The magazine also provides an opportunity for interaction, by rating articles and comments, and for sharing its contents at the internal social network Google+.

Intranet: A daily access channel for our employees, containing frequently updated information. In 2019, we published 210 pieces of news and 27 alerts (informational banners on internal communication campaigns).

“Internal Communications” e-mail inbox: The e-mail is the tool most generally used at work ensuring access to information and benefits to each employee. The use of the e-mail is being constantly streamlined with tools such as multiple links, to ensure more accurate information, online form population, and event scheduling.

On-line and quality surveys: Based on the belief that communication also involves active listening, as a customary practice, we ask for feedback on our Talent & Culture initiatives. Besides, the Bank measures its internal communication quality surveys and top-down communications on relevant issues. This year, the level of satisfaction with the service Internal Communication delivers to our employees has been rated for the first time using the Internal NPS, achieving a 64% score.

Question of the Day: In 2019, the Bank developed a new tool within the “Question of the Day” channel, with more functionalities to improve our listening skills and data-based decision making. Every day, a question is made on the corporate Intranet. This tool helps learn about interests, put forward issues, and strengthen the interaction with our employees.

Visits to the Corporate Tower: This year, several guided tours were organized to the Corporate Tower for 3 to 10 year-old family members to get to know the building through games and learn about the three values upheld by the Bank. During the year, 13 visits were carried out with the participation of 320 employees and family members.

Signage: Shifted to entirely digital at BBVA Corporate Tower to reduce our environmental impact.

Spaces for employee interaction: The conversation flow is key to strengthening interpersonal bonds. Therefore, the Bank has enabled certain spaces for sharing, such as internal classified ads, theme communities and initiatives on Google+, our internal social network, and other face-to-face events and meetings.

Face-to-face meetings: Face-to-face communication is encouraged through:

| • |  | Quarterly presentation of global and local earnings reports.

| • |  | Management Committee’s Tours. Six tours were organized in 2019, with the participation of 1,953 employees.

| • |  | Annual Strategy Day: Every year, the Bank celebrates its achievements and sets new challenges. This year, the event was attended by 534 guests.

| • |  | Live@BBVA: Theme meetings on the Group’s strategic priorities which are broadcast by streaming across all BBVA’s units worldwide and can be seen alive or on demand. This year, two events were organized.

BBVA Volunteers—Making Dreams Come True

“BBVA Volunteers” was created in 2009 in an effort to encourage and facilitate employees’ participation in social programs in which they can put their personal and professional skills, concerns and human values to the service of others, contributing to improve the communities in which they live and work.

Global Volunteering Week at BBVA: It is a global initiative created to encourage and make visible the solidarity actions carried out by BBVA Group’s employees, focusing and facilitating team engagement in several activities. The next Global Week will be carried out in March 2020.

Solidarity Project Contest: For the seventh year in a row, this contest seeks to support the best solidarity projects proposed by employees who cooperate with or are part of an NGO. Three winners are selected who receive financial support to carry out their solidarity initiatives. The 2008 winners who made their projects come true in 2019 were the following:

| • |  | 1: Ps. 325,000—“De andar juntos se trata” – Greater Buenos Aires

| • |  | 2: Ps. 200,000—“Sumando energías” – Greater Buenos Aires

| • |  | 3: Ps. 125,000—“Casa de soles” – Córdoba

In 2020, we will choose the new contest winners who will receive Ps. 500,000, Ps. 300,000 and Ps. 200,000 in prizes. Twenty-four projects were submitted, supported by 134 volunteers.

With this contest, 21 dreams came true directly benefitting 4,800 beneficiaries.

Website: This website is made available for volunteers to be able to learn about the most recent actions, propose new projects, and state their concerns. In 2018, the website was updated including audiovisual content related to the activities.

Employee Support Service (SAE)

SAE is the main communication channel used by employees to raise Talent & Culture concerns. The available channels include a self-service internet portal, e-mail and phone. The inclusion of a chat room is currently under pilot-testing.

For the fourth year in a row, employees’ level of satisfaction with SAE was rated using the Internal NPS, having achieved a 39% score—which means an 8-point increase vis-a-vis the previous measurement. On November 25, 2011, the Bank kicked off a new SAE with several improvements in order to provide enhanced quality service to employees, with fast and customized responses on the first contact.

Employee Benefits

To BBVA, the welfare of our employees and their families is extremely important; therefore, the Bank offers exclusive access to facilities, products, discounts and recreational spaces. Our employee benefit program includes:

| • |  | Raffles to win entertainment tickets: through several business alliances, the Bank raffled tickets to leading domestic and international shows sponsored by BBVA Argentina.

| • |  | BBVA and LATAM Alliance: like every year, the Bank offered exclusive benefits to its employees under this partnership.

| • |  | Sport Events: In 2019, our employees signed in for 13 activities including internal soccer and bowling tournaments (in the City of Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Rosario, Bariloche, Comodoro Rivadavia, Neuquén and Santa Fe). This year, new locations (Chivilcoy, Bahía Blanca and Pergamino) joined the initiative. Our employees also participated in running events such as the Discovery Race, as part of the Bank’s running team.

All these benefits are additional to the traditional banking products offered at preferential rates and fringe benefits, such as gifts for the Children’s Day, backpack and school kits for our employees’ children, birthday gifts for our employees, newborn’s trousseau, end-of-year gifts, seniority benefits, and education financial assistance, among others.

BBVA Campus: A Consolidated Model

BBVA Campus is a learning model conceived to offer our employees the possibility to access face-to-face and online specialization and continuing education courses.

With a broad training offering that helps boost skills and competences, the contents of this global learning platform are focused on the following topics: Agile, DATA, Digital, Engineering, Finance, Legal, Marketing, Risks, Cultural Skills associated with BBVA Values, Leadership Skills, and cross-cutting skills, such as continuing learning, effective communication, fact-based decision-making, and focus on execution.

With a growing focus on self-development, in 2018 the Campus B Tokens platform was made available to all our employees, who earn “tokens” after completion of each online training at the Campus, or by sharing knowledge with their co-workers. Then, they can spend these “tokens” on our face-to-face learning offering. “Sharing” is an initiative also included as part of B Tokens conceived to reward professionals who share knowledge with their co-workers.

• Management: The “Leadership, Conflict and Courage” program is aimed at transformation of each individual’s own strengths and weaknesses involved in leadership, by facing personal and group challenges.

In 2019, we carried out 4 editions of the program at IAE Business School, with the attendance of 152 branch managers and central area’s managers and assistant manager, totaling 6,080 hours of training.

Besides, 7 employees continued their education in Spain under the following programs: Corporate Management, Corporate Leadership, Value-based Management, and Building a Customer Centric Organization Program.

• English: Our leaning offer also includes an online language learning portal—Language Center (App and online platform). Access to the platform is universal for all employees interested in learning and improving their English skills, in a simple manner and planning for their individual learning pace. In 2019, we continued offering face-to-face training courses across all levels of knowledge of the English language. We delivered 13,629 hours of face-to-face training to 330 participants.

• Business to Customer: In 2019, the Bank delivered to our commercial network employees the knowledge required to face role shifts, updating and building new career paths.

Ten development plans were created, which can be completed before or at the time of applying for a position. Thus, employees can gain in advance the knowledge and skills required for their future jobs. In 2019, 50 employees were certified for the network.

• Capital Markets Qualification: For such positions that require the certificate of qualification in Capital Markets granted by the CNV, online courses are available coached by subject-matter experts to get ready to complete the required modules.

Policy on Grants and Postgraduate Studies

Grants take the form of financial support to fund 50% of the program tuition fees, subject to a cap of Ps. 120,000 per year, and/or personal loans at special rates. To be eligible for a grant, employees must have been at the Bank for at least 6 months and must have good ratings at their annual performance appraisals. The postgraduate course of study must also be related to the business. In 2019, the Bank granted 19 financial assistances and 2 personal loans under its postgraduate grant program. It also has special discount agreements with certain universities in the city of Buenos Aires and the provinces.

The Bank continues offering external training on technical skills, primarily for central areas. The Training department gives advice on the selection of programs and their contents, as well as on the institution that will deliver them.

Coaching and Mentoring

In 2019, the Bank has continued pursuing the coaching program for employees promoted to leadership positions, to help them deploy their talent, and personal and professional skills. Thirty five (35) employees were assigned an internal coach certified by the European Coaching School.

In an effort to offer an enhanced experience to BBVA Argentina’s new hires, the Bank has continued pursuing a mentoring process. The new hire or mentee is assigned a mentor who will support him or her for a term of three up to six months, based on their individual needs, to help them get familiar with the Bank and its culture, and overcome the initial onboarding challenges. These programs contribute to the prompt and effective integration of new hires. In 2019, 71 mentees were engaged in the process.

Talent Acquisition & Internal Mobility

In 2019, BBVA Argentina strengthened the transformation of Talent Acquisition, guided by its purpose of “bringing the opportunities of this new era to everyone,” and with the clear mission of identifying, attracting, and selecting the best candidates, offering a comprehensive response to the needs of the several areas, thus becoming their strategic partner, while always considering the importance of the candidate’s experience in the onboarding process.

Besides, the Bank developed and deployed the Talent Acquisition strategy, fostering and implementing new processes, policies and tools to enable the accurate operation of internal mobility and the attraction of external talent, to meet the several business and transformation demands.

The Bank also managed to strengthen the Professional Development Model, which is aimed at internal talents and is based on fairness and transparency principles. To this end, at a corporate level, the BBVA Group developed 10 policies which are key to Internal Mobility and are detailed below:

|  | 1.  We prioritize internal talent over external talent |  | Throughout the entire recruitment process, Talent & Culture analyzes whether we have internal candidates with the required knowledge and skills for the position. If so, internal candidates always have priority over external candidates.
|  | 2.  We always have at least three candidates. In addition to the individual in charge of the job offer, at least, one more person will be involved in the recruitment process as counterweight |  |
|  | 3.  The head of your business unit may not refuse to your job mobility |  |
|  | 4.  We recommend and appreciate that you cover full professional development cycles (typically, from three to five years) before applying for a job posting. However, you may do so after one full year in your current position (two years if your core position involves dealing with external customers) |  | Minimum eligibility requirements: •  One full year at current position: for you to have sufficient time to assess whether the position is consistent with your interests and aspirations •  Two full years (if the candidate deals directly with external customers): to ensure adequate management of the Bank’s relationship with its customers Before applying for a job offering: Retail and corporate banking office network:

55

##### Table of Contents

|  | 5.  You may apply for as many job postings as you are interested in and simultaneously participate in their respective recruitment processes. |  |
|  | 6.  You are responsible for notifying your direct supervisor about the job postings you have applied for, and you decide when to disclose such information. |  | In these processes, the communication between supervisors and their teams should be fluent, amidst a trust and confidence environment to enable open conversations from the beginning.
|  | 7.  All job offers are posted and you can check them, even in such exceptional cases in which the candidate may have been previously assigned. |  | In such exceptional cases in which a candidate has been previously selected, the job posting will be marked as “assigned,” together with the reason for the assignment. You may see these job offers, but you may not apply for them. The reasons for such assignment include: •  Top management: Including positions which by reason of their institutional relevance, external visibility and/or leadership of big team may not be handled by job offerings. •  Specific professional development programs, with scheduled turnover. •  Movements within the office network by means of pre-selected candidates •  Employees’ relocations due to organizational reasons.
|  | 8.  You will receive more information on the development of the process and feedback at all stages |  | During the recruitment process, we will let you know about the status of your application. According to the process progress, we will give you three types of feedback: •  If you have not been interviewed yet, you will receive feedback by email •  If you have been interviewed by Talent & Culture, you will receive personalized feedback •  If you are interviewed by the individual in charge of the job offer and/or other interviewers, you will receive personalized feedback from the individual in charge of the job offer
|  | 9.  It takes approximately 10 weeks since a job offer is posted until the selected employee takes over the new position |  | The periods established from the time a job offer is posted until an employee takes over a new position and from the offer acceptance to the posting of the new job are not applicable to: •  Deferred job postings, since the time it takes to fill these vacancies may differ because candidates may have already initiated the process before the actual need to fill the job has arisen •  Domestic/international relocations
|  | 10.  No more than 20 days may elapse from the time you accept an offer until you take over your new job |  | In the exceptional case that this term cannot be fulfilled, your area head will apply for an authorization from the Talent & Culture head of the area/geographic location explaining the respective reasons.
|  |  |  | Offer When you receive an offer, you will have two business days to make up your mind. If you accept the offer, your engagement in other ongoing recruitment processes will be deemed terminated. Upon your acceptance of an offer, Talent & Culture will remind you to notify your direct supervisor.

Tools

In 2019, the Bank enhanced the use of “Mobility,” its internal recruitment portal where all vacancies are posted, giving priority to internal talent development, while strongly monitoring KPIs on compliance with mobility policies, together with the deployment of suitable leverages to correct non-conformances.

The following is a list of the alternatives available to fill vacancies seeking to streamline processes:

| • |  | Immediate: A recruitment process in which the Bank needs to cover 1 or several similar positions right away.

| • |  | Deferred: A recruitment process in which the Bank anticipates a need to fill a specific role/profile, thus having short-listed candidates available to cover a position when an actual need arises.

| • |  | Assigned: A recruitment process whose candidate is assigned to fill a job, in compliance with transparency standards in recruitment processes. The reasons for such assignment are published.

A virtual HR assistant named “EMI” is also under pilot-testing. This tool uses artificial intelligence to shorten recruitment times, streamline the process, and offer a better experience to candidates, empowering the Bank’s employer brand. This helps automate the following processes:

| • |  | Candidate screening.

| • |  | Interview scheduling.

| • |  | Communication with candidates.

Comprehensive Early Recruitment Model

The Talent Acquisition area carried on an early recruitment program for future brand managers, with special emphasis on the skills the leaders of the future will require.

Over 460 employees applied for the posting, ranked on the basis of hard data for subsequent shortlisting. One hundred and thirty-one candidates made it to the assessment center stage, engaging in 13 group activities that resulted in 29 selected candidates, who have commenced their training and certification for the position.

Talent Attraction Plan

BBVA Argentina believes diversity and inclusion are key elements to build a better workplace. We are convinced that being diverse helps attract and retain the best talent, offering the best quality service to our customers. BBVA Argentina develops a careful job posting strategy at the Bank’s career website, as well as at renowned public recruitment websites, universities and employment trade shows.

This year, BBVA Argentina continued with its endeavors to position itself in social media as a leader employer brand in banking transformation. Therefore, the Bank focuses on displaying contents that depict this strategy and enhance all projects, initiatives and challenges in this vein, seeking to reach professionals specialized in areas that contribute to the fulfillment of the Bank’s purpose.

#Primeros Pasos BBVA Internship Program

The program was created in 2016 to offer job placement opportunities to young students interested in putting what they have learnt into practice, and gaining work experience and specific knowledge in an actual business environment within the branch network. Internship programs last six months and provide a seedbed of new professionals with development and growth aspirations.

Premium Direct Executive Program

Immersed in the digital transformation driven by BBVA Argentina as banking pioneer, this year we deployed “Direct,” our team of remote executives with nationwide support. Working under a remote model, the team handles the assigned portfolio of Premium or Premium World customers, enhancing loyalty and making them profitable through customized service, and building long-term relationships with the Bank.

To carry out this project, the Bank conducted a stringent selection process, calling for high-performing, service-quality oriented, and commercially-minded internal and external profiles, with good academic background. The team was made up of 132 executives.

People Management Model

In 2019, the Bank implemented the “professional development model,” offering autonomy and information to employees to help them make better career decisions, and the elements required to implement them.

This model is based on three pillars: “get to know yourself,” to make your mind as to where you want your career to head for; “improve” to focus on developing the skills and knowledge required for the employee’s current position or such other skills and knowledge beyond the current role the employee may be interested in gaining; “explore,” to be able to look at the possibilities for taking over a new position and get ready for that.

Employees have several means and tools available to walk around this development path, including a broad information offering, mentoring, coaching, feedback, and special assignments.

In 2019, team leaders, co-workers, customers, suppliers and each of them individually conducted the annual global appraisal of cross-cutting leadership and culture skills.

The results of these assessments help make more effective and fair human capital management decisions, with impact on several aspects, such as talent identification and, where applicable, compensation adjustments. In 2019, 6,208 employees were subject to the appraisal process.

Individual Performance Assessment

In 2019, the Bank conducted a comprehensive appraisal with a global vision which encompasses corporate values. Supervisors complete the individual assessments of their reports, based on two questions with five performance levels for each of them: fulfilment of the goals set for the year, and how the employees embody BBVA Group’s values.

Compensation

The Bank has a Compensation Policy which guides the application of a remuneration system capable of attracting and retaining the right people for each position. Such system encompasses the full compensation paid to employees in exchange for their contribution to the organization in terms of time, role and results, including a fixed pay and variable incentives.

In mapping its positioning in terms of salary levels, the Bank participates in salary market surveys and also engage in cross-area consultations with other banks.

In order to align variable incentives with strategic goals, the Bank has adopted a new compensation model, consistent with the criteria established by the Group. This model is applicable to employees at central areas and is based on the following principles:

| • |  | Transparency and simplicity

| • |  | Completion of strategic priorities

| • |  | Awareness that we are one bank

| • |  | Ongoing performance discussions

Subsidiaries

BBVA Asset Management Argentina S.A. Sociedad Gerente de Fondos Comunes de Inversión.

During 2019, the mutual fund sector in Argentina continued to grow. According to preliminary data gathered by the Argentine Chamber of Mutual Funds (CAFCI, Spanish acronym), at year-end, assets under management industry-wide were 42.22% higher than at the end of December 2018.

Such growth was made possible after the Argentine Government managed to “re-profile” its peso- and US dollar-denominated short-term debt (Lecaps and Letes) and implemented exchange controls, both measures adopted in the wake of last August’s primary elections, which led to the concentration and restriction of the industry’s product offering.

Growth was led by two segments—time deposit and market funds—which, at year-end, recorded an increase in assets of 130.0% and 8.5%, respectively. On the other hand, fixed income funds experienced a 14.7% decline.

As of December 31, 2019, assets managed by BBVA Asset Management Argentina S.A. (BBVA AMA) amounted to $ 44.08 billion, equivalent to an increase of 27.5%, or $ 9.52 billion, year-on-year. If we look at the (interim) asset ranking compiled by the CAFCI, BBVA AMA’s share in the overall Mutual Funds market was 5.7%, occupying the 4th position.

Within the category of time-deposit mutual funds, at year-end, the company recorded assets managed in the amount of $ 39.15 billion, which accounts for an increase of $23.25 billion or 146.3% compared to the previous year.

On the other hand, in market mutual funds, the company experienced a decline of $ 13.73 billion, or 73.6% during the year. At year-end, total assets managed in respect of these funds amounted to $ 4.93 billion. Within the latter category, fixed income funds experienced the most significant decline in terms of assets by $ 13.99 billion (- 80.7%) during the period, to stand at $ 3.34 billion.

During the year, BBVA AMA generated commissions in the amount of $ 350.2 million by 6.0% vis-a-vis commissions accrued during the previous year.

As of December 2019, the company has 21 mutual funds managed registered with the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV), out of which 16 were in business during the year.

To date, the status of the funds managed by BBVA AMA is as follows:

| • |  | FBA Renta Pesos, FBA Renta Fija Plus, FBA Horizonte, FBA Horizonte Plus, FBA Calificado and FBA Acciones Argentinas: These funds are operating normally. Subscriptions and redemptions in Pesos are allowed.

| • |  | FBA Ahorro Pesos, FBA Bonos Argentina, FBA Renta Fija Dólar and FBA Renta Mixta only admit redemptions: These funds were subject to the “re-profiling” arrangement the Argentine Government has established for certain short-term national sovereign debt securities. In this regard, by means of Decree No. 596/19 dated August 28, 2019, the Argentine Government established a partial extension of the term of Argentine Treasury Bills (LETES), Argentine Treasury Capitalizable Bills in Pesos (LECAPS), CER-Adjusted

59

##### Table of Contents

| Argentine Treasury Bills in Pesos (LECER) and US-dollar Linked Argentine Treasury Bills (LELINK). Accordingly, 15% of the principal amount in respect of these securities would be settled upon the original maturity date, 25% at three months, and the remaining 60% at six months. In addition, the Argentine Government asserted that securities held by individuals would be paid in full on the originally agreed-upon dates. Furthermore, as the underlying securities of the awarded shares fell due, Management made payments, in Pesos or USD, as applicable, of the relevant investors’ shares, which were then eliminated.

| • |  | FBA Bonos Globales, FBA Renta Fija Dólar Plus, FBA Bonos Latam, FBA Retorno Total I, FBA Retorno Total II, FBA Acciones Latinoamericanas and FBA Brasil I only admit redemptions. The restrictions on subscriptions to these mutual funds are due to the enactment of regulations affecting the operation of the exchange market. For instance, Decree No. 609/2019 dated September 1, 2019 provided for “the need for implementing temporary and urgent measures to further regulate and control the exchange rate regime and, hence, strengthen the normal operation of the economy, contribute to the prudent administration of the exchange market, reduce volatility in financial variables, and contain the impact of fluctuations in financial flows.” In addition, Communication “A” 6770 handed down by the Argentine Central Bank on September 1, 2109 established that “entities authorized to trade in foreign exchange may not buy securities in the secondary market to be settled in foreign currency or use holdings in their General Exchange Position to make payments to local suppliers.”

| • |  | Finally, FBA Gestión I, FBA Renta Pública I, FBA Renta Pública II and FBA Renta Fija Local were approved by the CNV during the previous period and commenced their activities by means of a contribution made by this company. For the time being, these mutual funds are not open for subscription or redemption, and the company is awaiting the right time to market them.

Like in previous years, the company will pay special attention to the changes in international economic and financial conditions, as well as to the development of the currency market and the performance of crude oil and other commodities prices.

As regards the local context, the company will carefully monitor activity levels, inflation and the exchange rate, as well as public indebtedness and expenditures. Similarly, the company will monitor the fulfillment of the commitments undertaken with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the potential debt renegotiation process.

Looking to 2020, Mutual Funds are expected to constitute an efficient alternative for investors at the local level. In this regard, the company will continue reshaping and developing products tailored to customers’ demands, ensuring an offering that is suitable to the prevailing market conditions and to the improvements in investors’ risk management.

PSA Finance Argentina Compañía Financiera S.A.

The share capital of PSA Finance Argentina Compañía Financiera S.A. (PSA Finance) is held, in equal parts, by BBVA Argentina and Banque PSA Finance, a company related to the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group, based in France.

PSA Finance is primarily engaged in granting pledge loans for the purchase of first-hand Peugeot, Citroën and DS vehicles as well as in awarding cars of such brands under financial lease agreements. PSA Finance is also engaged in financing the purchase of second-hand vehicles to customers proposed by networks of the aforementioned brands’ official dealers, and in supplying other financial products and services associated with the purchase, maintenance and insurance of vehicles, within the territory of the Argentine Republic. Besides, the company has recently tapped into a business known as “floor plan,” which consists of providing financing to the official network of Peugeot, Citroen and DS dealers in Argentina in connection with the vehicle stock.

The car industry ended year 2019 with 441,000 car registrations, which accounts for a 43% decline year-on-year.

60

##### Table of Contents

The first half of the year 2019 was marked by substantial activity levels, followed by significant volume declines during the second half, due to the effects of the prevailing macroeconomic variables. During 2019, the brands Peugeot, Citroën and DS developed intensive activities, including retail finance advertising actions and rebates, in an attempt to attract customers.

In 2019, PSA Finance recorded a 17.9% share in Peugeot, Citroën and DS car registrations (measured in terms of financing of brand-new cards), which accounts for a 1.7 percentage point decline compared to 2018. Such a decline is the result of high rate levels, coupled with the increase in the final price of the vehicles, vis-a-vis people’s purchasing power growth.

Against this backdrop, at year-end, PSA Finance has managed to finance a total of 8,695 transactions, including pledge loans for first-hand and second-hand vehicles, and vehicles awarded under financial leases, which is equivalent to $ 2.39 billion.

As of December 31, 2019, the customer portfolio was comprised by 29,217 customers, and valued at $ 3.26 billion.

As to the product offering, in 2019, the Entity continued working jointly with the brands Peugeot, Citroën and DS in the development of exclusive and distinct financial products, targeted at certain vehicles.

Retail finance advertising actions and rebates were strengthened as well in order to attract customers in a highly competitive market, which offers a broad range of products focused on the needs from the demand side. This year, private banks gained relevance in the pledge loan market with the offering of UVA-linked credits. Currently, 87.3% of the network of dealers has chosen PSA Finance as provider of finance solutions.

Activity levels declined during the year 2019. However, the Entity’s net income reflects a 128% increase vis-a-vis 2018 due to the following factors:

| • |  | The Entity managed to secure a financial margin from the portfolio (in terms of % of average portfolio) higher than that for the previous year’s. This is primarily attributable to the incremental share of the Entity’s own equity in production financing. Such increase in equity was attributable to the fact that no dividends were distributed.

| • |  | The efforts to contain administrative expenses in the face of growing inflation played a key role in maintaining the quality of the company’s results of operations, amidst a poor activity scenario.

| • |  | Lesser impact of income tax due to the application of the inflation adjustment for tax purposes.

As a result of all the aforementioned factors, net income from financial intermediation activities amounted to $ 239 million. Considering other profits and losses, the company’s income before income tax amounts to $ 253 million, or $ 323 million after tax.

During the year 2020, the company will continue pursuing its sales strategy, encompassing financing promotional actions jointly with Peugeot, Citroën and DS, which have proven successful for several years. Under this business model, the company can concentrate more than 90% of all financing arrangements granted to networks of dealers for the purchase of first-hand and second-hand vehicles. Undoubtedly, the company will continue working under this model, and keep boosting these joint actions by launching new products, such as the personal loan.

The company will strengthen and boost ongoing digitization, which is key to the mission of efficiently reaching a customer profile which changes its purchasing behaviors on a daily basis, choosing new technologies to stay abreast of the news and compare products. In this regard, PSA Finance will continue developing tools to allow customers get their first loan by means of several digital platforms, which started to be successfully implemented in 2019. Undoubtedly, this approach will provide the company with a strong competitive position in 2020 and subsequent years.

Volkswagen Financial Services Compañía Financiera S.A.

Volkswagen Financial Services Compañía Financiera S.A. (VWFS) is primarily engaged in the business of granting pledge loans for the purchase of first-hand Volkswagen cars and offering wholesale financing to VW Group’s dealers for the purchase of cars from the manufacturers. VWFS is also engaged in financing the purchase of second-hand vehicles and in providing financed maintenance, all within the territory of the Argentine Republic.

In 2019, the car and financial industries experienced a substantial downturn vis-a-vis previous years. The beginning of the year seemed quite promissory; however, during the second half of the year, the market experienced several declines, which in some months surpassed 50% year-on-year. Therefore, 2019 was a challenging year for car manufacturers and their respective finance companies.

Against this backdrop, the company sought to defend its share in VW Group’s financed sales and keep a healthy wholesale portfolio. The retail segment experienced a decline in terms of the volume of financed agreements due to the downturn of the car manufacturing and financial markets; however, the share of VW Group’s financed sales rose almost by 10% compared to the previous year. In addition, the company managed to maintain a competitive market penetration level, thanks to the strong relationship that it had built with the brand and the dealers, having experienced a decline lower than the average of other car manufacturers’ finance companies. With the strong cooperation from Volkswagen, the company launched commercial campaigns at subsided rates, offering attractive conditions to customers, despite the high levels of official benchmark rates.

During the year, the company developed the leasing product and corporate sales.

As part of its ongoing improvement approach, the company managed to improve the service quality to dealers through communication, training and good response levels by VWFS, as reflected in the positive outcomes of the related satisfaction survey. In-house, the company conducted several training programs for employees in order to attain efficiency gains, and hence, improve service levels to retail customers.

The company is adequately capitalized for the development of its business. Besides, during the year, the company increased its sources of funding from other commercial banks, with granted credit facilities amounting to a total of $ 3.17 billion.

In February, the company successfully completed its second issuance and placement of corporate bonds, for an aggregate principal amount of $ 750 million, at private variable rate (Badlar) and UVA. Towards the end of the year, the company completed its third issuance of corporate bonds, for an aggregate principal amount of $ 750 million, at private variable rate (Badlar). This transaction was made possible thanks to its strategic relation with the major commercial banks.

During 2019, Volkswagen Group had a 15.8% share in the car market, again ranking at the top in terms of sales volume, which rose by 14.7% compared to 2018. Amidst a very competitive environment, the company had a 72% share in the Group’s financed sales (+5 p.p. vis-a-vis 2018), as a result of a new commercial policy and actions that fostered the loyalty of the official network of dealers.

VWFS was able to achieve 12% penetration, just one percentage point below 2018, amidst an environment where average penetration of car manufacturers’ finance companies had declined by around four percentage points.

During 2019, the main goal was offering competitive financing products and services to customers. In 2019, the company settled 9,510 pledge loans, accounting for a 42% year-on-year decline, due to the challenging situation of the car manufacturing industry.

Net income before income tax as of December 31, 2019 amounted to $ 739 million, equivalent to a 216% increase compared to the previous year. Such a performance is attributable to the optimization of the company’s sources of funding, and healthy wholesale and retail lending portfolios, in addition to the effects of inflation on car prices.

During 2020, the car market is expected to reach 450,000 registrations, that is, approximately the same number as this year. Rates are expected to decrease, and the incoming government is expected to boost domestic activity.

The company’s goal for 2020 is defending its share in sales of financed units, with origination of retail loans expected to reach similar levels as in 2019, while the wholesale portfolio is expected to be maintained at current levels. In terms of long-term development, the company plans to carry out strategic projects in 2020, which will result in better service quality for customers and enhanced processes with dealers, all of which in support of the industry growth in the long-term.

In order to fund its pledge loan portfolio, the company plans to keep diversifying its sources of funding with its main business partner, other commercial banks and the issuance of corporate bonds.

Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings)

On December 4, 2008, Law No. 26425 was enacted, providing for the elimination of the capitalization regime that was part of the Integrated Retirement and Pension System, and its subsequent merger and replacement with a single pay-as-you go system named the Argentine Integrated Retirement and Pensions System (SIPA). Consequently, Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. ceased to manage the resources that were part of the individual capitalization accounts of affiliates and beneficiaries of the capitalization regime of the Integrated Retirement and Pension System, which were transferred to the Guarantee Fund for the Sustainability of the Argentine Retirement and Pension Regime as they were already invested, and the Argentine Social Security Office (ANSES) is now the sole and exclusive owner of those assets and rights.

Additionally, on October 29, 2009, the ANSES issued Resolution No. 290/2009, whereby retirement and pension funds managers interested in reconverting their corporate purpose to manage the funds for voluntary contributions and deposits held by participants in their capitalization accounts had 30 business days to express their intention to that end.

Based on the foregoing and taking into consideration that it was impossible for Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. to comply with the corporate purpose for which it was incorporated, the shareholders, gathered at a Unanimous Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on December 28, 2009, resolved to approve the dissolution and subsequent liquidation of that company effective as of December 31, 2009, as they considered that such decision was in the best interest of the company’s creditors and shareholders. Furthermore, in compliance with the terms of the Argentine Companies Law, the Shareholders’ Meeting appointed Mr. Gabriel Orden and Mr. Rubén Lamandia, both of them public accountants, as liquidators of Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. As from December 31, 2009, they have assumed the role of the company’s legal representatives. To date, Mr. Orden and Mr. Lamandia are taking all necessary actions leading to the liquidation of Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A.

In this regard, on January 28, 2010, the dissolution of Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. and the list of designated liquidators were registered with the Argentine Superintendence of Corporations (IGJ).

In addition, on October 19, 2009, the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of Consolidar A.F.J.P S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings) approved a voluntary reduction in the company’s capital stock of $ 75 million. The IGJ approved such capital reduction on January 11, 2010 so that on January 19, 2010, capital contributions were transferred to the shareholders, pursuant to the aforementioned reduction.

BBVA Argentina, as shareholder, asked Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings) to serve notice upon the Argentine Ministry of Economy and Public Finance and the Argentine Social Security Office (ANSES) of its intention to engage in discussions, under the terms of Law No. 26425 to find one or more remedies to redress the consequences from the events occurred after the enactment of such Law. Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings) served such notice on June 11, 2010.

On December 7, 2010, Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings) filed a complaint for damages against the National Government and the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security, which was heard by Federal Court of Original Jurisdiction in Administrative Matters No. 4, Division No. 7, under File No. 40437/2010. Such complaint was ratified by BBVA Argentina in its capacity as majority shareholder of the company. On July 15, 2011, Consolidar A.F.J.P. S.A. (undergoing liquidation proceedings) and BBVA Argentina filed with such court an expanded-scope complaint for the assessment of damages. On March 9, 2012, the Court ordered that notice of the complaint be served upon the National Government.

Joint Business and Associates

Rombo Compañía Financiera S.A.

Rombo Compañía Financiera S.A (RCF) is the main finance company of Renault’s network of dealers, both for first-hand and second-hand vehicles. During 2019, Renault had a 14.4% share in the car market, from 14.8% in 2019, ranking third in terms of sales volume. In 2019, Nissan had a 3.8% market share (vs. 2.8% in 2018). Amidst strong competition, the company managed to improve its market share and positioning, thanks to the substantial contribution of pledge loans from its finance company.

In 2019, RCF’s contribution to Renault’s and Nissan’s sales declined by 21.8% from 24.2% in 2018 for Renault, and from 17.9% to 17.6% in the case of Nissan. Despite the fact that the prevailing economic conditions took their toll on the industry as a whole, RCF had an outstanding commercial performance, primarily focused on maintaining the network’s loyalty.

RCF remains the industry leader in the ranking of loans and loyalty among brand captive companies, with 93.7% credits granted by RCF of total credits on average for the sale of Renault vehicles at year-end (Source: AFIMA). On the other hand, Renault Argentina and Nissan strongly supported the company’s lending activities, providing important commercial tools (subsidized rates) both for first-hand and second-hand vehicles.

With this support, RCF managed to finance 16,823 Renault and Nissan first-hand vehicles (vs. 31,558 in 2018) and 2,702 second-hand vehicles (vs 6,514 in 2018). Accordingly, the total financing portfolio amounted to $ 7.59 billion, accounting for a 19% or $ 8.88 billion decline compared to 2018.

Risk and portfolio quality indicators rose vis-a-vis recent years. The non-performing loan ratio increased from 1.3% in December 2018 to 1.9% at the end of 2019 (on average), primarily due to the prevailing economic scenario and the portfolio considerable decline.

In terms of financing, during the year, the company issued one series of corporate bonds for an aggregate principal amount of $ 300 million, with the total balance of corporate bonds amounting to $ 2.15 billion at year-end. The amount of the current program is $ 6.00 billion, and it has been rated “raAA” by Fix SCR S.A. Agente Calificadora de Riesgo and “Ba2.ar” by Moody’s.

As of December 31, 2019, net income for the year amounted to $ 485.8 million, evidencing an increase vis-a-vis the amount of $ 83 million for the previous year.

BBVA Seguros S.A.

BBVA Seguros S.A. operates in the following lines of business: Fire, Comprehensive and Combined Household Insurance, Theft, Personal Accidents, Group Life Insurance, Credit Life Insurance, Funeral and Other Coverage.

During 2019, written premiums amounted to $ 3.45 billion, accounting for a 0.7% increase vis-a-vis the previous year. As from September 2017, BBVA Seguros ceased to earn premiums from credit life insurance policies in connection with BBVA Argentina’s newly issued outstanding balances, including personal loans, credit cards, pledge loans and overdrafts.

The increase in invoiced premiums from voluntary insurance rose by 34.1% compared to the previous year. The business strategy combines a broad product offering with multiple distribution and service channels, all based on the segmentation of customers’ and prospects’ needs. Paid losses amounted to $ 680.4 million, or 19.7% of written premiums.

Net income for the year was $ 1.35 billion, accounting for a return on equity of 63.8% at year-end. As of December 2019, minimum capital surplus was $ 899.4 million, while the solvency ratio– measured as the ratio of cash and cash equivalents, investments and buildings to underwriting commitments and liabilities owing to policyholders– was 1.6.

On January 22, 2016, the Argentine Bureau of Insurance (SSN) passed Resolution SSN No. 39647, concerning holdings in SMEs Mutual Funds (authorized by the CNV), setting forth an investment floor of 3% and an investment cap of 20%.

On March 21, 2016, Communication “A” 5928 handed down by the Argentine Central Bank was released, introducing changes to the Rules for the Protection of Financial Users concerning insurance. Regarding Credit Life Insurance, the Argentine Central Bank provides that financial institutions subject to the rule shall not be allowed to charge users any sort of commission and/or fee related to credit life or total permanent disability insurance policies. Furthermore, the Argentine Central Bank provided that financial institutions are required to purchase credit insurance to cover these contingencies, or otherwise to “self-insure,” posing the challenge for the insurance company of capturing the largest number of customers/banks and financial institutions to offer this product.

On February 7, 2019, the SSN established that entities under its oversight were required to file financial statements in constant currency for the fiscal periods ended on or after June 30, 2019. Then, in view of several filings from industry chambers and taking into consideration the needs and impacts that compliance with such rule would entail in terms of training, systems and regulatory amendments, the SSN issued Circular IF-2019-17698428-APN-SSN#MHA, postponing the filing of financial statements fully stated in constant currency for the fiscal period ended on or after June 30, 2020, provided the enforcement guidelines in terms of cumulative inflation set forth by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences (FACPCE) are met. According to such circular, financial statements as of June 30, 2019, and for subsequent interim periods up to and including March 31, 2020, shall be filed together with the financial statements stated in nominal currency, Reporting System for Supervised Institutions (SINENSUP), and statements of Assets, Liabilities, Shareholders Equity and Profit & Loss, stated at constant currency, with their supporting Excel spreadsheets. The circular also called for technical/accounting task forces to discuss the issue. Finally, on July 17, 2019, the SSN issued IF-2019-64632649-APN-SSN#MHA, detailing the specific definitions of the industry lines supplementing Technical Resolution No. 6 and Resolution JG No. 539/18 and the application guidelines issued by the FACPCE. The effects of the adjustments will be disclosed in notes up to the interim financial statements as of March 31, 2020, included.

Besides, on November 28, 2018, the SSN issued RESOL-2018-1116-APN-SSN#MHA amending item 30 of the General Rules and Regulations for the Insurance Business (RGAA, Spanish acronym), effective for the financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2019, setting out the minimum capital requirements insurance companies are to meet to be engaged in the direct insurance and reinsurance business. The main changes include:

Minimum Capital Requirements per Line: Minimum capital requirements were increased by around 100%, establishing a quarterly adjustment schedule as from July 1, 2019, at the deposit rate. These amounts will be published by the SSN.

65

##### Table of Contents

Amount based on Premiums and Surcharges: To be calculated by line of insurance, rather than on totals.

Amount based on Losses: To be calculated by line of insurance as well, rather than on totals.

Item 23.9 was included in the RGAA, establishing that new insurance companies may not have joint operations in life and property insurance lines. In addition, as a requirement to maintain the permit to operate in these lines, insurance companies will need to have an underwriting level in excess of 5% of the minimum capital requirement per each line of insurance at each year-end.

A gradual conformance schedule was established if the new capital amounts required per each line result in an increased capital requirement.

Finally, item 35.5 of the RGAA was amended by means of RESOL-2019-553-APN-SSN#MHA dated June 18, 2019, establishing that insurers’ total investments, including their underlying assets, if any, and cash and cash equivalents, should be based in Argentina, banning the acquisition of new shares in mutual funds with underlying assets based abroad. At fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, insurers and reinsurers shall have adjusted their investments in mutual funds with underlying assets based in countries other than Argentina.

For 2020, BBVA Seguros plans to continue growing its main insurance lines of business, in particular, Other Coverage, Personal Accidents, Group Life Insurance, and Comprehensive and Combined Household Insurance, with a product offering that meets the distinct needs of its main customers.

Transformation at BBVA

BBVA has consolidated as a benchmark financial institution worldwide, particularly, due to the strength displayed in the aftermath of the recent economic crisis—recurring earnings, structural resilience in any environment, and value generation for stakeholders—a value which will increase even further hand in hand with the Bank’s growing technological capacity, which will allow it to reach its goal of becoming the leading bank of the digital era.

The main goal of BBVA Group’s transformation strategy is strengthening the relationship with the customer, reshaping the value proposition to focus on customers’ actual needs.

To the Group, the value proposition must be easy and convenient. In other words, a proposition that offers access to the Group’s services anywhere, anytime and by the means preferred by the customer, whether through digital channels or human interaction.

BBVA helps customers make wiser banking and non-banking decisions, by supporting them in managing their day-to-day finance, and offering them products and services in a more proactive, innovative and customized manner, while also recommending the best options among all possible financial alternatives.

A Defined Strategic Road Map

The Group’s newly defined purpose—“bringing the opportunities of this new era to everyone,”— and six strategic priorities are meant to guide the strategy execution:

|  | BBVA Group is focused on offering the best possible customer experience, based on simplicity, transparency and agility; increasing customers’ empowerment, and offering them customized advice.
|  | The Group’s customer centric business model offers a distinct service, with a very ambitious goal: Leading customer satisfaction across all geographies in which we operate.
|  | At BBVA, encouraging digitization is a key element to achieve transformation and empower digital channels. In this regard, the Bank is developing a digital offer of products and services for customers to be able to use the channel of their preference.
|  | To encourage the Group’s transformation, BBVA is actively engaged in the financial industry’s digital disruption, though its New Digital Businesses (NDB) unit. In doing this, the Group leverages the Fintech ecosystem to look for new digital business models for the Bank. This priority is intended to enhance business profitability and sustainability, while making it simpler and focused on the most relevant activities.
|  | Amidst a less profitable environment for the financial industry, efficiency becomes a key priority in BBVA’s transformation plan. Such priority is based on building a new organizational model, as agile, simple, and automated as possible.

Responsible Business

At BBVA Argentina we have a distinct banking model that we call responsible banking. It is based on the pursuit of profitability grounded on principles, strict compliance with legal regulations, good practices, and the creation of long-term value for all stakeholders.

This model is reflected in our Enterprise Social Responsibility or Responsible Banking Policy which seeks to manage the Bank’s impact on individuals and the community.

The four pillars of BBVA Argentina’s Responsible Banking Model

| • |  | Balanced relationships with our customers based on transparency, clarity and responsibility.

| • |  | Sustainable finance to halt global climate change and attain the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

| • |  | Responsible practices with employees, suppliers and other stakeholders.

| • |  | Community investment to promote social change and create opportunities for all.

BBVA Argentina has continued developing programs under the Plan key pillars: Financial Education, Entrepreneurship, Knowledge, and Culture.

Financial Education Program

In 2019, the Bank completed the 13th edition of its Financial Education Program targeted at 12 to 19-year old high-school students from low-income families. The program is primarily intended to help these young beneficiaries finish high-school and gain finance and administration knowledge and skills, by delivering a banking product that facilitates their inclusion in the financial system. These students receive a Visa prepaid card with a monthly stipend for education-related expenses and every month are required to submit an expense report.

In 2019, the program benefitted 1,086 students, in partnership with 19 NGOs from the provinces of Buenos Aires, Salta, Mendoza, Córdoba, Tucumán and the City of Buenos Aires.

My First Start-Up

In 2019, the Bank launched the fourth edition of “My First Start-Up.” It is a business plan contest targeted at 17 to 23 year-olds all over the country, which seeks to develop and strengthen young people’s entrepreneurship spirit. During the contest, participants learnt about the necessary tools to make a business plan through an e-learning platform. The business plans were evaluated by a jury made up of BBVA Argentina’s CEO, university deans, chairmen of business associations, and the Ambassador of Spain.

Personal Finance Workshops

In partnership with Junior Achievement, the Bank delivered 12 financial education workshops addressed to students finishing secondary studies at public high schools in the City of Buenos Aires. The 300 students that participated in the workshops received the support of 27 BBVA’s volunteers, who displayed a strong commitment to the program, offering them their knowledge and experience in finance, to work together on a personal and family budget plan, savings, investment, risks, and precautions. These tools will help these students improve their day-to-day financial planning.

Financial Education Workshops for Adults

For the third year in a row, BBVA Argentina and ANSES (Argentine Social Security Office) organized a “Financial Inclusion Workshop” for retirees to offer them training and foster access to banking products and services. The initiative is intended to help adults get familiar with the electronic channels the Bank makes available to them, to ensure more efficiency, convenience and security when doing their financial transactions, without disrupting day-to-day activities.

Support to the Third Sector

BBVA Argentina keeps committed to supporting a large number of initiatives benefitting the community, several organizations, NGOs, and business associations by means of its donation program.

Environmental Sustainability

BBVA Argentina’s commitment to sustainable development is reflected in its Environmental Policy which contemplates the interaction of banking activities and the impact of the branch network and buildings. Aligned with BBVA Group’s corporate goals, the policy seeks to deploy and maintain an Environmental Management System and an Eco-efficiency Program.

In 2019, we reviewed all environment-related procedures and documents and simplified their contents, seeking to convey a clear message and their intended purpose. We drafted a new Environmental Policy which was endorsed by the pertinent authorities and make available to all users.

Environmental Certifications

|  | Under ISO 140001, BBVA Argentina is committed to conducting its operations by managing environmental risk, minimizing negative impacts, empowering sustainable opportunities, and moving forward in preserving the environment.

Commitment 2025: BBVA’s Climate Change and Sustainable Development Strategy

Banks play a key role in countering climate change and in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), since they are strategically positioned to mobilize capital in the form of investments, loans, and advisory services.

Commitment 2025 is a climate change and sustainable development strategy which, in alignment with Paris Agreement, defines BBVA’s aspirations and the path to be followed. The strategy is based on the following pillars:

| • |  | To finance: We will help to create the scale of capital mobilization to halt global climate change and attain the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

| • |  | To manage: We will manage our environmental & social risks to minimize potential negative direct & indirect impacts.

| • |  | To engage: We will engage with all our stakeholders to collectively promote the contribution of the financial industry to sustainable development.

Global Eco-efficiency Plan 2016-2020

In order to reduce BBVA’s environmental footprint, we have developed the Global Eco-efficiency Plan (GEP) for the 2016-2020 period. The plan seeks to position the Bank among the leading financial institutions worldwide in terms of eco-efficiency, underpinning the commitment to responsible banking and leveraging the financial benefits derived from an optimal operation of our buildings.

Responsible Banking Principles

In 2018, BBVA Argentina joined the Responsible Banking Principles with the commitment to fund and design the financial services required to support its customers’ transition to a low-carbon economy. The Argentine subsidiary has been the BBVA Group’s first company in Latin American and the third one at a global level, after Spain and Turkey, in joining this initiative driven by the United Nations, which seeks to build the foundations for a sustainable and fair baking system, accountable towards the society. Local adherence to these principles means progress by BBVA in coping with global climate change and sustainability challenges, and contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. As a large corporation, BBVA is committed to respecting and contributing to the preservation and care of the society and the environment. Accordingly, by taking part in this initiative, BBVA has become one of the pioneer financial institutions in working actively on an action plan primarily focused on sustainable and conscious development. |  |

Corporate Responsibility

Main Guidelines of the Code of Corporate Governance

The principles comprising BBVA Argentina’s Corporate Governance System are enshrined in: (i) our corporate by-laws; (ii) applicable laws; (iii) the internal rules of operation of the several Committees; and (iv) the Code of Corporate Governance (CCG), which govern Directors’ and Senior Management’s rights and duties.

77

##### Table of Contents

In this regard, the CCG—whose latest version was approved by the Bank’s Board of Directors in December 2019—contains the most recent Corporate Governance recommendations given by the Argentine Securities Commission (CNV) and the Argentine Central Bank. In addition to allocating duties to the Board of Directors, Senior Management and Committees, clearly establishing their respective roles and operation, the CCG is primarily intended to protect the investing community’s rights, by preventing or restricting the potential dissemination of asymmetric information, and defining internal and external risks and controls.

Independent Directors

As established in the CCG, the Bank’s Board of Directors must be comprised of a sufficient number of independent Directors to serve on the Committees that require their participation.

Independence requirements are established in Section 11, Chapter III of the CNV Rules, and are in line with international standards, in particular, the Rules of Corporate Governance handed down by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), following the indications of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which set out directors’ independence eligibility criteria.

The independent status of each director shall be reported by each shareholder proposing a candidate at the respective Shareholders’ Meeting.

In addition, the independent or non-independent status of each Director shall be disclosed in the Bank’s Annual Report and Financial Statements, and in other required documents.

According to General Resolution No. 730/2018 handed down by CNV, an independent director is defined as any director designated by reason of his/her personal or professional qualifications who may freely discharge his/her duties without being influenced by a relationship with the company, its significant shareholders or executives. In particular, any person falling under any of the following assumptions may not be regarded as an independent director:

a) Individuals who are also members of the Board of Directors of the parent or of other company belonging to the same business group as the issuer, by reason of an existing relationship at the time of their appointment, or a relationship which has ceased during the three years prior to their appointment.

b) Individuals who are related to the issuer or to the issuer’s shareholders holding, directly or indirectly, “significant interests”, or to companies in which they also hold, directly or indirectly, “significant interests” or if employed by these companies during the past three (3) years.

c) Individuals maintaining a professional relationship with, or belonging to, a company or professional association that customarily maintains a professional relationship of a nature and for volume relevant to, or receiving salaries or fees from (other than the fees related to the duties discharged at the Board) the issuer or the issuer’s shareholders holding, directly or indirectly, “significant interests”, or companies in which they also hold, directly or indirectly, “significant interests.” This prohibition encompasses professional or ownership relationships during the past three (3) years prior to the director’s appointment as such.

d) Individuals, directly or indirectly, holding five per cent (5%) or more of the voting stock and/or capital stock of the issuer or a company in which the issuer holds a “substantial interest.”

e) Individuals who, directly or indirectly, sell and/or deliver goods and/or services, other than those set out in paragraph c), customarily and of a nature and volume relevant to the issuer or the issuer’s shareholders holding, directly or indirectly, “significant interests”, for amounts substantially higher than those received as compensation for the duties discharged as members of the Board of Directors. This prohibition encompasses business relationships that may have existed for the past three (3) years prior to the director’s appointment as such.

f) Individuals who may have been directors, managers or key executives at non-for-profit organizations having received funds for amounts in excess of those described in paragraph I), Article 12 of UIF Resolution No. 30/2011, as amended, from the company, its parent company, and other companies of its business group, as well as from the key executives of any of them.

g) Individuals who receive any form of payment, including any form of profit sharing in stock option plans or arrangements, from the company or the companies comprising its business group, other than the fees earned by reason of their duties as directors, except for the dividends those individuals are entitled to receive in their capacity as shareholders, under the terms of paragraph d) and the consideration set out under paragraph e).

78

##### Table of Contents

h) Individuals who have been directors at the issuer, its parent company or other company of the same business group for more than ten (10) years. The status of independent director is recovered after a period of no less than three (3) years from expiration of their term of office.

i) Spouses or legally recognized domestic partners, and relatives up to the third degree of consanguinity or second degree of affinity of individuals who, if part of the Board of Directors, would not meet the independence eligibility requirements set out in these rules.

Directors who, following their appointment, fall under any of the above-described circumstances, shall immediately notify this situation in writing to the issuer, and the issuer shall give notice to the CNV or the markets in which its securities are listed, upon occurrence or immediately after becoming aware of such event.

All references in this section to “significant interests” shall be understood as references to individuals holding shares representing no less than five per cent (5%) of the capital stock and/or votes, or lesser amount if entitled to elect one or more directors per class of shares, or if having governance and administration agreements with other shareholders in respect of the company in question, or its parent company. References to “business group” shall be understood within the meaning set forth in paragraph 3 e), Section 5, Chapter V, Title II of the CNV Rules (N.T. 2013, as amended).

Appointment of Directors

Directors are appointed at the Shareholders’ Meeting, which is the Bank’s governance body, abiding by the minimum and maximum number of members set out in the Corporate By-laws, and appointing alternate directors for an equal or lower number than regular directors, and for the same term of office to fill potential vacant seats.

Shareholders proposing candidates to regular or alternate directors shall notify to the Shareholders’ Meeting whether such candidates are independent or not.

Directors’ eligibility requirements will be subject to no limitations other than those set forth in the Argentine Companies Law, the Financial Institutions Law, with its amending and related provisions, the rules handed down by the CNV, the SEC, and the CCG.

Discharge of Directors’ Duties

According to the Corporate By-laws and as prescribed by law, BBVA Argentina’s Board of Directors is, stricto sensu, the entity’s representation, administration, management and control body. As such, the Board of Directors shall (i) watch for the Bank’s liquidity and solvency; (ii) review and guide the corporate strategy, the most significant action plans, the risk monitoring policies, and the annual budgets and plans; (iii) fix the Bank’s goals and watch for their execution and fulfillment, at the corporate and managerial levels; and (iv) oversee the Bank’s main capital allocations, divestitures and acquisitions.

Directors are required to discharge the duties set forth in applicable laws and in the By-laws, in the best of the Bank’s interests.

Directors will engage in all discussions and debates that may arise on the issues submitted to their consideration and shall be provided with sufficient information to be able to form a judgment on the issues within the purview of the Bank’s corporate bodies, being entitled to ask for such additional information or advice as might be deemed required to discharge their duties.

On the other hand, depending on the relevance of the issues to be addressed, directors may resort to external subject-matter experts for advice.

Every year, the Board of Directors approves the Bank’s annual report which contains an overview of their actions and performance during the year, taking into consideration, among other things, the goals set at the beginning of each fiscal year. The annual report is submitted to shareholders with sufficient time ahead for their consideration and approval at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

The information on the fees payable to the Board members is made available to shareholders at the time the Shareholders’ Meeting is held.

Conflicts of Interest

The Code of Corporate Governance details the potential situations that may pose a conflict of interest between a “Director” and BBVA Argentina and the manner in which Directors are expected to act in each case to prevent conducts detrimental to the Bank’s best interests.

Pursuant to the transparency principle that should guide the Bank’s actions in financial markets, and which is enshrined in the CCG, the Board of Directors will establish appropriate mechanisms to ensure BBVA Argentina’s disclosure of all such information that might be relevant to shareholders and investors as well as the accuracy and truthfulness of the information so disclosed. The Board of Directors may also suggest mechanisms to enhance the relationship and communication with BBVA Argentina’s shareholders.

In this regard, BBVA Argentina has an Investor Relations area, under the purview of the Finance department, which is primarily tasked with the duty of representing the Bank vis-à-vis the shareholders, investors and analysts, making institutional filings concurrently with the submission of the financial statements.

| 1. | The Board inspires an ethical workplace culture and establishes the company’s mission, vision and values.

The Entity follows the recommended practice. According to Section 12.1 of the CCG, directors are bound by a loyalty duty, having to discharge the duties set forth in applicable laws and in the Corporate By-laws, acting in the best interests of the Bank. Directors shall also display an ethical conduct in accordance with regulatory requirements applicable to individuals discharging management and administration duties at corporations, particularly, at financial institutions, acting in good faith and pursuant to the principles encompassing the values of BBVA Argentina. In this regard, our Code governs all aspects concerning conflicts that might arise between a Director’s and his/her relatives’ interests and those of the Bank or its Group, as well as incompatibility assumptions to fill the position of Director, among other aspects.

The Bank has a Code of Conduct or Ethics in place, approved by the Board of Directors on December 18, 2003 and amended on August 25, 2015, which is applicable to all employees and addresses issues concerning conflicts of interest and human rights, embraces the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact, and also takes into account the International Labor Organization’s agreements.

The assessment of compliance with goals and objectives is carried out by monitoring the annual budget. To such end, every year in October, the Bank prepares a zero-base budget, built upon the goals set by management for the several business and support areas.

The global boom of triple-impact financial instruments that has occurred in recent years was reflected at a local level by means of the issuance of the first green and sustainable bonds and loans by sub-national governments and financial institutions. In line with this emerging market, in March 2019, the regulatory authority of the capital market published the “Argentine guidelines for the issuance of social, green and sustainable securities.”

Accordingly, the entities signatories to this protocol developed this voluntary initiative in order to start building a sustainable finance strategy in Argentina and, to such end, have subscribed the Argentine Sustainable Finance Protocol.

Definition and purposes

The Sustainable Finance Protocol is intended to facilitate and encourage the adoption of international best practices and policies by Argentine financial institutions, fostering integration among economic, social and environmental aspects, to move towards Sustainable Development.

This Protocol is a framework agreement, meant to be a starting point for signatory entities to identify and elaborate on specific topics that will be agreed upon, considering the individual status of each entity in particular.

Holders of our ADRS (American Depositary Shares) are represented at the annual shareholders’ meeting by their proxy (The Bank of New York Mellon).

| 29. | The Dividend Distribution Policy is aligned with the strategy and clearly establishes the criteria, frequency and conditions governing dividend distribution.

The Entity follows the recommended practice. This obligation is addressed in Section 11, paragraph 2) of the CCG. It is the Board of Directors’ intention to distribute dividends for the year among shareholders, according to the percentages and under the conditions set out by the oversight authorities. To such end, the Board of Directors may approve a dividend and treasury stock policy and, particularly, set the limits to such policy.

BBVA Argentina has an earnings distribution policy consistent with its mission of generating sustained profitability for its shareholders, while contributing to the favorable performance of the Entity’s equity to drive business and activity growth, and, in turn, maintaining strong liquidity and solvency standards, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

According to the applicable Central Bank’s rule on “earnings distribution,” in calculating distributable earnings, entities must make certain off-balance sheet deductions from the addition of balances carried in the account Unappropriated Retained Earnings, and in the optional reserve for future distribution of dividends.

The Central Bank eliminated the additional 75% requirement for the payment of dividends for financial institutions and, in line with Basel III, replaced it with:

| • |  | A capital conservation buffer equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets.

| • |  | An additional buffer equal to 1% of risk-weighted assets for entities qualifying as Domestic Systemically Important Banks (“D-SIBs”), as defined by the Central Bank.

| • |  | A contracyclical buffer currently set by the Central Bank at 0%. However, the Central Bank may increase such buffer to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets, based on its own assessment of the systemic risk.

Entities are required to pay in these buffers exclusively out of their core tier 1 capital (COn1). An entity’s failure to pay in these buffers may have several implications, including progressive restrictions on dividend distributions, share buy-backs, payments on other equity instruments, or payment of certain bonuses to employees.

Among its interim provisions, Communication “A” 6464 establishes that, until March 31, 2020, financial institutions which, for purposes of calculating their distributable earnings, have not increased by 1 percentage point the ranges of Tier 1 (COn1) Capital, net of deductions (CDCOn1), set out in the tables of paragraphs 4.1.4. and 4.2.4. of the rules on “Earnings Distribution,” shall require the previous authorization of the Office of the Superintendence of Financial and Exchange Entities (SEFyC) to distribute earnings. On the other hand, financial institutions will be allowed to distribute dividends provided that such financial institutions: (i) are not subject to the terms of Article 34 “Conformance and turnaround” and Article 35 bis “Restructuring of a financial institution to safeguard bank loans and deposits” of the Financial Institutions Law (Law No. 21526); (ii) are not receiving financial assistance from the Central Bank; (iii) are not in arrears or have not infringed the reporting requirements established by the Central Bank; and (iv) are compliant with minimum capital and cash requirements.

Furthermore, the Central Bank issued Communication “A” 6768 which sets forth that, as from August 30, 2019, financial institutions will be required to have the Central Bank’s authorization to distribute profits. As part of such authorization process, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial and Foreign Exchange Institutions will consider, among other things, the potential effects of the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, as per Communication “A” 6430 (paragraph 5.5. of IFRS 9—Impairment) and the restatement of financial statements required under Communication “A” 6651.
