RE: Relevant Information – CLASS ACTION. Asociación por la Defensa de Usuarios y Consumidores- (Aduc) c/ BBVA Banco Francés S.A. y Otros s/ Ordinario (Expte. 34.172/2015).

We address to you in my capacity of Market Relations Manager, in order to inform you that BBVA Banco Francés S.A. has been notified of the class action “Association for the Defense of Users and Consumers- (Aduc) c / BBVA Banco Francés S.A. and Other s / Ordinary (File 34.172 / 2015) that is processed before the National Court of First Instance in Commercial Matters No. 9, by Dr. Paula María Hualde, Secretary No. 18.

The object of the lawsuit is the alleged unilateral and uncaused imposition of a new account maintenance fee applied to the credit cards offered by BBVA Banco Francés S.A. The plaintiff alleges that this commission has been charged without the prior consent of the clients, which would imply a unilateral modification of the contractual conditions, in breach of the current regulations of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic.

By virtue of this, the plaintiff demands the cessation of the alleged unlawful conduct and the return of the amounts collected.

BBVA Banco Francés S.A. will carry out all necessary precautions to guarantee the defense of its interests.
