(hereinafter referred to interchangeably as the “Exchange” or the “Company”.) ● The MATba Rofex S.A. merger Both from a corporate and a historical perspective, the most significant event during the fiscal year was the merger between Matba S.A. and ROFEX S.A., which crowned the process of amalgamation of both Exchanges. This merger was carried out in accordance with Section 83, Subparagraph 4 of Act no. 19550, as amended, and in accordance with Sections 77, 78 and pertinent provisions of the Income Tax Act (Act no. 20628, as amended) and Sections 109 to 112 of the regulatory decree, with the goal of qualifying as a tax-free reorganization, the effective date of which was August 1, 2019 (hereinafter the “Effective date”.) As from that date, both Companies’ Directors, Executive Management and collaborators launched an arduous process. A comprehensive amendment of the Company’s Bylaws was approved with effect from August 1 2019 after which the Company’s corporate name was changed to “MATBA ROFEX S.A.” and the corporate domicile of the head office was changed to Paraguay 777, 15th Floor, Rosario, province of Santa Fe, with a business office domiciled at Bouchard 454 in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA.) The new Company issued 94,920,000 book-entry common shares with a nominal value of $1 (one) each and each one entitled to one vote to be offered in exchange to the shareholders of ROFEX S.A. In addition, on July 3 2019, the Security Exchange Commission approved the new Operating and Internal Regulations that unify practices from both Companies. On the other hand, on the same date, the Security Exchange Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores, hereinafter the “CNV”) approved the Rules for Financial Contracts and authorized the new Company to use the E-Trader II Trading Computer System. In due time, the CNV also approved certain Notices/Circulars that originated in the Rofex trading environment. These are, among others, the following: “Membership Rules”; “Liquidity Incentive Scheme. Liquidity providers”; “Trading registration and Clearing Fees for all financial products”; “Pre-negotiated Trading Mode.” In the context of this new administration, the following Committees were set up to work as analysis groups with capabilities to submit proposals to the Board of Directors and to exercise certain functions by delegation. These Committees are governed by the Corporate Bylaws and the Rules of Procedure for the Boards of Directors: - Audit Committee: it assists the Board of Directors with monitoring and control functions by assessing accounting procedures, the relationship with the External Auditor and the review of control architecture. - Risk and Investment Committee: it monitors each one of the financial or non- financial risks to which the Company is exposed, measurement and management techniques and whether the Company’s investments are reasonable and advisable. - Remuneration and Nomination Committee: it assists the Board of Directors in appointing, reelecting, removing and fairly compensating company Directors and members of the Executive Committee and by making recommendations concerning their compensation. - Financial/Agricultural Markets and Products Committees: they provide assistance and submit proposals to the Board of Directors regarding the regulation of the different trading segments, with each Committee being oriented to a product type and performing its functions in relation to agricultural or financial products. - Innovation and Technology Committee: it advises the Board of Directors on the defining policies and strategies for technology investments and innovation projects. - Clearing System Risk Committee: it was created in compliance with General Resolution no. 817/2019 on Market Infrastructures. The Committee assesses and puts forward policies on managing and controlling risks inherent to the clearing system. It also advises the Board of Directors on all the measures that might affect the Exchange’s risk management. ● Unified market, integrated trading. The advent of Matba Rofex marked a major milestone for the Argentine capital market by consolidating the trading of futures under the same company. Joint operations were launched on August 1 2019 and the first phase of the migration of F&O trading to a single platform, Primary Trading Platform (PTP), was kicked off two months later, on October 4 2019. PTP is provided by Primary, the Group's technology company. This migration process was fully completed in March 2020 and was very well received by users, without undesirably impacting trades. As a follow-up to the merger, by the end of 2020, the Exchange’s also expects to achieve the integration of Settlement and Clearing House/Central Counterparty functions, which are currently split between Argentina Clearing and Matba Rofex. This shall lay the ground for strong increases in trading in both agricultural and financial products, on account of the efficiencies that Agents are expected to achieve, regarding both margins and operating procedures. ● Company’s Activity During the reporting fiscal year, 116.3 million futures and options contracts on financial contracts were traded on the Exchange, which represents a 50.8% decrease in relation to the volume traded during the previous equivalent period for Matba Rofex’s fiscal period (ROFEX’s fiscal year started on August 1 and ended July 31, therefore, the data concerning the 2018-2019 fiscal year disclosed in this Annual Report do not match the data of ROFEX’s fiscal year.) The decrease in volume is mostly due to the shrinkage of the dollar futures business after the imposition of exchange controls by the end of August 2019; therefore, dollar futures trading dropped 51.7% compared to the previous year. As for futures on stock indices, volume stood at 2.3 million contracts, which represented a decline of 3.9%. In turn, there was a major growth at year-end in trades registered for futures in WTI crude oil, gold and futures on the stock of Grupo Financiero Galicia. The case of Galicia is particularly worthy of mention since volume grew fivefold compared to the previous fiscal period. The average daily open interest fell by 38.3% from a year
