In the normal course of business, the Group conducts transactions with different entities or parties related to it. All transactions are carried out in accordance with market parameters.

 

Remunerations of the Board of Directors

 

The Act N° 19,550 provides that the remuneration of the Board of Directors, where it is not set forth in the Company’s by-laws, shall be fixed by the Shareholders' Meetings. The maximum amount of remuneration that the members of the Board are allowed to receive, including salary and other performance-based remuneration of permanent technical-administrative functions, may not exceed 25% of the profits.

 

Such maximum amount is limited to 5% where no dividends are distributed to the Shareholders, and will be increased proportionately to the distribution, until reaching such cap where total profits are distributed, except that such remunerations were expressly agreed by the Shareholders' Meeting, for which purpose the matter must be included as one of the items on the agenda.

 

Some of the Group's Directors are hired under the Employment Contract Act N° 20,744. This Act rules on certain conditions of the work relationship, including remuneration, salary protection, working hours, vacations, paid leaves, minimum age requirements, workmen protection and forms of suspension and contract termination. The remuneration of directors for each fiscal year is based on the provisions established by the Act N° 19,550, taking into consideration whether such directors perform technical-administrative functions and depending on the results recorded by the Company during the fiscal year. Once such amounts are determined, they should be approved by the Shareholders’ Meeting.

 

Senior Management remuneration

 

The members of the Senior or Top Management are appointed and removed by the Board of Directors and perform functions in accordance with the instructions delivered by the Board itself.

Members of the senior management participate in defined contributions and share-based incentive plans that are described in Note 31, respectively.

 

The aggregate compensation to the Senior Management of the Operations Center in Argentina for the year ended June 30, 2025 amounts to ARS 267.

Corporate Service Agreement with IRSA

 

Considering that Cresud and IRSA have operating overlapping areas, the Board of Directors considered it convenient to implement alternatives that allow reducing certain fixed costs of its activity, in order to reduce its impact on operating results, taking advantage of and optimizing the individual efficiencies of each of the companies in the different areas that make up the operational administration.

 

For this purpose, on June 30, 2004, a Framework Agreement for the Exchange of Corporate Services (“Framework Agreement”) was signed, between IRSA, Cresud and IRSA CP, which was periodically modified, the last update being on June 28, 2019. On December 22, 2021, were held the shareholders' meeting approving the merger by absorption of IRSA and IRSA CP, for which IRSA, in its capacity as absorbing company, is the successor of all the rights and obligations assumed by IRSA CP by the Framework Agreement. The last modification to the Framework Agreement was made on July 12, 2022.

 

Under this Framework Agreement, corporate services are currently provided for different areas including: Corporate Human Resources, Administration and Finance, Planning, Institutional Relations, Compliance and others.

 

Under this agreement, the companies entrusted an external consultant with the semiannual review and evaluation of the criteria used in the process of liquidating corporate services, as well as the distribution bases and supporting documentation used in the aforementioned process, through the preparation of a semi-annual report.

 

It should be noted that the operation under comment allows Cresud and IRSA to maintain absolute independence and confidentiality in their strategic and commercial decisions, being the allocation of costs and benefits made on the basis of operational efficiency and equity, without pursuing individual economic benefits for each of the companies.

 

Offices and Shopping malls spaces leases

 

The offices of our President are located at 108 Bolivar, in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. The property has been rented to Isaac Elsztain e Hijos S.A., a company controlled by some family members of Eduardo Sergio Elsztain, our president, and to Hamonet S.A., a company controlled by Fernando A. Elsztain, one of our directors, and some of its family members.

 

In addition, the Group leases various spaces in shopping centers (such as retail units, stands, storage units, or advertising spaces) to third parties and related parties, such as BHSA.

 

Lease agreements entered into with associates included similar provisions and amounts to those included in agreements with third parties.
