Attn: Mr. Legal Advisor Ignacio Álvarez Pizzo

Dear Sir,

I, Agustín Medina Manson, in my capacity as Person in Charge of Relations with the Market of Cablevisión Holding S.A. (hereinafter, interchangeably, the "Corporation", "CVH" or the "Company") hereby address you in response to your request for information, issued by e-mail dated 19 November 2020.

Pursuant to the General Companies Law No. 19,550, we hereby respond to your request as follows:

1.

2. The minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors that calls the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting, with due identification of the signors, was made available to the general public through the Autopista de Información Financiera ("AIF") [online electronic disclosure system used by public companies] on 11.11.2020 under ID No. 2680018.  

3. As resolved at the Annual Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting held on 29 April 2020 (the minutes of which were uploaded onto the AIF on 7 May 2020 under ID No. 2607764) and the meeting of the Board of Directors held on 1 May 2020 (the minutes of which were uploaded onto the AIF on 4 May 2020 under ID No. 2606202), the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company is the following:

President: Sebastián Bardengo.

Vice-president: Ignacio José María Sáenz Valiente.

Directors: Marcela Noble Herrera, Marcia Ludmila Magnetto, Lucio Andrés Pagliaro, Antonio Román Aranda, Alan Whamond, Nelson Damián Pozzoli, Gonzalo Blaquier and Sebastián Salaber.

Alternate Directors: Damián Fabio Cassino, Nicolás Sergio Novoa, Samantha Lee Olivieri, Claudia Irene Ostergaard, Oscar Agustín Medina Manson, Leandro Diez Monnet, Alejandro Río, Fernando Domenech, Jorge Oría and Gervasio Colombres.

The term of office of the members of the Board of Directors is of one year.

1) With respect to the following points of the agenda, we request:

a. (Point 2) "Partial or total reversal of the Optional Reserve for Illiquid Results. Distribution of Dividends in cash or in kind or in any combination of both options. Delegation of powers to the Board of Directors."

At the Annual Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 29 April 2020, the shareholders unanimously resolved, among other things, to reverse in full the Optional Reserve for Financial Obligations, which-adjusted for inflation-was of Ps. 19,899 million and to allocate (i) Ps. 162,348 to increase the Legal Reserve, which that way reached 20% of the Company's equity plus the balance of the equity adjustment account; (ii) Ps. 800,940,000, equivalent to USD 12 million at the reference exchange rate of Communication 3500 "A" of the Argentine Central Bank at the close of that day of Ps. 66.745, to the payment of a dividend in freely disposable United States dollars and, (iii) the balance, to increase the Optional Reserve for Illiquid Results in order to preserve a reasonable level of reserves that would allow the Company to face its own future needs (amounts adjusted as of 31 March 2020), considering also that the Company is a holding company, the level of liquidity of which depends mainly on the distribution of dividends of the companies in which it participates (which, in turn, must attend to their own investments needs and debt service).

In addition, on 16 October of this year Telecom Argentina S.A.-a subsidiary of the Company- called an Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting for 13 November 2020 in order to consider, among other points of the agenda, the total or partial reversal of two of its reserves for the payment of dividends.

In light of the above, given the possible increase in the liquidity of the Company in the event that the shareholders of Telecom Argentina should resolve such point favourably and considering that the Directors of CVH understood that if such circumstance were to occur the reasonable level of liquidity that this Company needed will be greatly exceeded, the Board considered it timely to call this General Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting so that the shareholders may decide on the possible reversal of the reserve and the distribution of dividends.

With respect to the amount of the proposed reversal of the "Optional Reserve for illiquid results" and the delegation of powers to the Board, we hereby state for the record that the Board did not make any proposal, leaving that decision to the shareholders, who will have to reach a resolution on that point at the Shareholders' Meeting.

In addition, and in response to your request, we inform that as of this date the Company has no restrictions on the distribution of dividends.

Next is a detail of the evolution of the "Optional Reserve for illiquid results".

CVH - Evolution of the Optional Reserve for illiquid results

(in millions of pesos)

Balance according to financial statement as of 30 September 2020 121,160

Finally, we state for the record that this response, together with your request, shall be made available to the general public through AIF, the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange.

We are at your disposal to make any clarifications that you may deem relevant.

Sincerely,

/s/ Agustín Medina Manson

Representative of Relations with the Market
