Ref. Relevant Information – Class Action, Asociación por la
Defensa de Usuarios y Consumidores (ADUC) c/ BBVA Banco
Francés S.A. y Otros s/ Sumarísimo (Expte. 35483/2015)
In our consideration:
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 “Asociación por la Defensa de Usuarios y Consumidores- (Aduc) c/ BBVA Banco Francés S.A. y Otros s/ Sumarísimo (Expte. 35483/2015)”, which is processed before the National Court of First Instance in Commercial Matters No. 25, Secretary No. 49.
The object of the lawsuit is the alleged perception of a fee or masked charge on transactions that consumers made abroad by using credit cards and/or purchase and /or debit cards including purchases made through Internet, and it claims the cessation of such behavior as well as the reimbursement to all customers allegedly affected of the amounts charged under such description plus interests.
BBVA Francés S.A. is analyzing the content and implications of such legal claim, considering that even in the case of an unfavorable resolution in this dispute, it will not have a significant impact in its activity and financial position.
Sincerely,
BBVA BANCO FRANCÉS S.A.
BBVA Banco Francés S.A., Av. Córdoba 111 – Piso 31 (C1054AAA) Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires,
CUIT Nro. 30-50000319-3, IGJ 18-09-14, N.17995, L.70, T.SA (T.O.).
