"AES Argentina hereby announces that the Exchange Offer expired as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time on August 24, 2023 (the “Expiration Date”).

Morrow Sodali International LLC, acting as information and exchange agent for the Exchange Offer (the “Information and Exchange Agent”), advised AES Argentina that as of the Expiration Date (i) U.S.$46,729,000 in aggregate principal amount of Old Notes, representing approximately 17.02% of the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes outstanding, have been tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Exchange Offer under Option A, and (ii) U.S.$99,125,000 in aggregate principal amount of Old Notes, representing approximately 36.11% of the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes outstanding, have been tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Exchange Offer under Option B, totaling a participation of U.S.$145,854,000 in aggregate principal amount of Old Notes, representing approximately 53.13% of the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes outstanding.

As previously announced on July 26, 2023, August 10, 2023, August 17, 2023, and August 21, 2023, the Early Participation Date was extended from July 26, 2023 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 24, 2023. Therefore, the Early Participation Date (as extended by such announcements) and the Expiration Date are the same. Eligible Holders who validly tendered their Old Notes before the Expiration Date are eligible to receive the Early Exchange Consideration for any such Old Notes accepted for exchange and there will be no Late Exchange Consideration. AES Argentina has decided to waive the Minimum Participation Condition.

Given that AES Argentina has waived the Minimum Participation Condition and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer Documents, AES Argentina has accepted for exchange all validly tendered Old Notes and intends to pay the Early Exchange Consideration for Old Notes validly tendered, together with the Accrued Interest Payment on or about August 30, 2023 (the “Settlement Date”), in compliance with Argentine Central Bank’s requirements to access the foreign exchange market. On the Settlement Date, AES Argentina expects to issue U.S.$121,990,601 aggregate principal amount of New Notes and to pay U.S.$29,170,800 in cash consideration (excluding the Accrued Interest Payment) as total consideration for the Old Notes validly tendered in the Exchange Offer. For each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Old Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange, Eligible Holders will receive, as applicable: (a) under Option A (Early A Consideration): approximately (i) U.S.$383 in New Notes, and (ii) U.S.$624.2547 in cash; or (b) under Option B (Early B Consideration): U.S.$1,050 in New Notes."
