Notwithstanding the above, we inform that the Company reports its results on a quarterly basis since it entered the public offering regime in 2007. The Company complies with all the requirements imposed by law and by the enforcement authority. In terms of information, it reports its results to investors and receives from them regular consultations.

 

Additionally, the Board of Directors of the Company considers on an annual basis the business plan, budgets, projections that include management and market targets, products, etc. This information is used to elaborate strategies on the different business areas. Notwithstanding the above, taking into account that this is information and tools that are relevant to the daily management and business of the Company, and that its disclosure could cause prejudice to the Company because it is sensitive information that, if dispersed in the market, could reach its competitors. Consequently, for reasons of prudence and protection of the Company's business and interests, the Company has adopted the criterion of not making its projections public.

 

8) Information relating to the investment plan for this fiscal year.

 

The Company reports the evolution of its investments in capital goods (payment for net acquisition of property, plant and equipment in the financial statements or CAPEX) and it is part of the information that the Company discloses quarterly to the market. Additionally, that information is in the financial statements (filed with the CNV and the Stock Exchange), reports and presentations of the Company www.cnv.gob.ar and http://www.grupoclarin.com/ir/Servicios-para-Inversores/Download-Center-sp-.

 

During the period 2007-2014 Grupo Clarín has made investments for Ps. 7,829 million, representing an average 13.1% of the sales of that period. This has allowed the Company to position itself as one of the company groups at the technological vanguard in Argentina. Approximately 91% of these investments have been focused on the Cable television and Internet business. During 2013 investments in capital goods reached Ps. 1,859 million (13.1% of sales) and we estimate that for 2014 the investments will increase by approximately 20% in nominal value and will be focused mainly on growth, infrastructure, networks and technology. These estimates may be altered by the macroeconomic impact and/or the execution of the Plan to conform to the Audiovisual Communication Services Law.

 

9) Inform the measures adopted and reorganisations being evaluated by the Board of Directors, in furtherance of the effective conformation to the Audiovisual Communication Services Law, within the framework of the delegation decided at the previous Shareholders' Meeting.

Notwithstanding the above, we inform that the Board has continued to perform all those actions tending towards the implementation of the Plan, as evidenced by the list of tasks performed to date.

We also ask that you justify the failure to make an accounting provision in face of the alleged economic impact of conforming to the Audiovisual Communication Services Law, as well as any document and other supporting information that may accompany this point.

 

With respect to the information requested in connection with the accounting provision in face of the alleged economic impact of conforming to the Audiovisual Communication Services Law, we copy below the statement under Note 11 to the Individual Financial Statements of the Company, which must be read together with the corresponding financial statements:

 

"The implementation of this proposal, if approved without any changes as presented by the Company, which mainly consists in the transfer of assets, may entail a strong reduction of its operating income and its profitability in the Cable Television and Internet Access segment and/or a strong reduction of its operating income and profitability of the Broadcasting and Programming segment, depending on the choices made by the Company. The above-mentioned considerations and the limits to the growth of Grupo Clarín imposed by this law, against world trends and against legitimately acquired rights, will surely have an impact on the potential value of Grupo Clarín. The proposal's implementation process and the results that may eventually occur will depend on a series of approvals and decisions from regulatory agencies, the Company and the subsidiaries involved (including the respective shareholders) and from all the parties involved in this process, which has just began. A scenario different from the one considered by the Company and its subsidiaries, additional limitations to those contemplated in its voluntary conforming proposal and/or a forced divestiture process may give rise to different results and, eventually, adverse consequences. As of the date of these financial statements and given the current uncertainties regarding the effective evolution of the process of conforming the Company and its subsidiaries to the Audiovisual Communication Services Law, the existing restrictions imposed by the regulatory framework and the conditions in which these processes will be effectively carried out, the Company cannot provide assurance about the final value to be obtained as a result of the divestiture or about the results of that process. In this sense, it should be noted that the decision rendered by the Supreme Court of Argentina on October 29, 2013 expressly states the claimant companies' right to claim economic damages caused to the Company and its subsidiaries as a consequence of the adjustment to conform to the law. Accordingly, under the proposal submitted to AFSCA on November 4, 2013 the Company expressly reserved its right to bring judicial actions to claim for those damages."

 

b. (Point 3) Consideration of the performance of the members of the Board of Directors.

 

Information referring to the performance of the Board of Directors, detailing the tasks performed by members of the Board that imply carrying out technical administrative functions, and, if applicable, participations in special commissions.

 

The members of the Board of Directors who have carried out technical administrative functions during the fiscal year are Messrs. Jorge C. Rendo, Alejandro A. Urricelqui and Pablo C. Casey.

He develops plans, programs and procedures aimed at strengthening the relations of the companies of Grupo Clarín with the community, businesses, governmental agencies and other public and private entities. He is responsible for the institutional relations of Grupo Clarín and of all its companies with the National Government, Provincial and municipal Governments, decentralised agencies, business entities, public welfare entities, national and international press organisations, companies and individuals. He is also in charge of the design of Corporate Social Responsibility policies and the design and implementation of the corporate communications strategy to develop the image, the brands and the relations of the company with society in the national and international fields, guaranteeing a clear identity before the various interest groups.

We request that you inform reasons, detail and procedural status of the administrative claims relating to the performance of the Board currently underway before state agencies, including the CNV, BCRA, UIF, AFIP among others.

 

The CNV, pursuant to Resolution No. 16,834 decided to initiate an administrative claim against the following members of the Board of Directors: Héctor Horacio Magnetto, Lucio Rafael Pagliaro, José Antonio Aranda, José María Sáenz Valiente (h), Alejandro Alberto Urricelqui, Jorge Carlos Rendo, Pablo César Casey, David Castelblanco, Muneer Satter, Mario César Parrado and César Alberto Menzani (File No. 1476/2011: "Proconsumer v. Grupo Clarín S.A. re/possible breach of the duty to report).

 

Object of the Claim: Triggered by an accusation brought by the attorney-in-fact of the Asociación Protección Consumidores del Mercado Común del Sur (Association for the Protection of Consumers of the Common Market of the South, hereinafter "Proconsumer"), claimants argued that the Company did not disclose to the CNV the initiation of a judicial claim brought against the Company by Proconsumer. The purpose of the judicial claim was that the co-defendants reimburse, return or compensate all non-professional investors, for all the cash differences that they failed to collect as principal and interest corresponding to their holding of notes issued by Multicanal S.A. which may have been subject to the amendments in the form and other conditions of payment arising from the APE (pre-packaged insolvency plan) that was confirmed by final judicial decisions.

 

Procedural Status: The defences were filed, alleging the application of statues of limitations as a previous and special defence, the absence of a breach of the duty to report defined as a whole by the lack of material economic importance or relevance, as required by the [CNV] Rules, based on the certain possibility that the claim will prosper. The defence highlighted that the decision of the Board of Directors was adopted following the business judgment rule, and that the decision was informed and diligent. On 29 May 2013 there was a preliminary hearing. The parties submitted the evidence that had been offered under the court files in re "Consumidores Financieros Asoc. Civil para su defensa y otros c/Grupo Clarín S.A. y/otro s/ordinario" and "Multicanal S.A. s/Acuerdo Preventivo Extrajudicial. File No. 83,658". On 10 April 2014 the defendants filed a memorandum evaluating the evidence presented in the File.

 

Additionally, Messrs. Jorge C. Rendo and Saturnino L. Herrero Mitjans are subject to a claim (No. 3831, File No. 7267/03) for breach of Section 1º, Subsections e and f of Law No. 19,359 (Foreign Exchange Criminal Regime). The claim is pending before the National Court on Criminal Economic Matters No. 5 of the City of Buenos Aires. The claim is pending a decision.

We also request specific information relating to the participation of the members of the Board in the Task Force to Conform to the Media Law (working papers, scenarios or plans that were discarded, etc.); documents that may evidence the content and the form of participation in the drawing up of the approved Plan to Conform to the Media Law an din the current process of developing a concrete proposal to conform to the law, with its corresponding corporate engineering. In each case, we request that the information be provided with express identification of the members [of the Board].

 

On 14 November 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company decided to create a Task Force composed of Messrs. Jorge C. Rendo, Alejandro A. Urricelqui, Pablo C. Casey so that, together with the cooperation of management and the legal and accounting advisors of the Company, they may analyze the mechanisms set forth under Section 161 of the Audiovisual Communication Services Law for the Company to conform to such law. The Task Force was granted the broadest powers to carry out all actions and negotiations that, without limitation, may be necessary to obtain, among other things, the appraisal of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and to propose to the Board of Directors the plans that they may consider relevant and useful, including the formulation of transactions with one or more of the above mentioned assets. On 18 February 2014 the Board decided to appoint Sebastian Bardengo as a member of said Task Force as well. In the performance of the task that was assigned to the Task Force, and as presented in the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held the past 20 March 2014, the Task Force studied and presented to the Board of Directors at the meeting held on 1 November 2013 and its resumption after a recess on 3 November 2013, the alternatives it had prepared to conform the Company to the Law, and submitted them to the consideration of the Board. The Board of Directors selected the proposal that was submitted to, and declared formally admissible by, the AFSCA upon consideration that it complies with the restrictions of the Audiovisual Communication Services Law in terms of the number of licenses and market share, makes functional business sense technically and operationally, is sustainable and is the least burdensome to all the shareholders; it is the alternative that best preserves the value of the assets and the sources of employment; the one that best respects the economies of scale and the synergies within the limitations imposed by that Law. Also, the Task Force carried out all tasks described at the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on 20 March of this year, as may be seen in the Minutes of the Shareholders' Meeting that were made available to the Shareholders on the AIF. At that meeting, the shareholders approved the performance of the members of the Task Force.

 

c. (Point 4) Consideration of the compensation of the members of the Board of Directors for the economic year ended 31 December 2013. Authorisation to the Board of Directors to pay advances on compensation for economic year 2014, subject to the decision of the shareholders at the next Shareholders' Meeting at which compensation of the members of the Board of Directors is considered.

 

Inform the breakdown of the proposed amount by Director and by type of compensation (directors' fees, members of the audit committee, members of the Task Force to Conform to the Media Law, fees for executive functions, etc.). We also ask that you please inform whether any directors are also employees of the Company and, if so, the amount of their salaries in each case. Additionally, we ask that you provide the amounts paid as Directors' Fees in fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010. Finally, we ask that you break down by Director the amounts advanced during fiscal year 2013 and the proposal for advances for fiscal year 2014, if applicable, all with the same breakdown referred to above.

 

As provided under Section 75 of Decree No. 1023/2013 and Interpretative Criterion No. 45, the Company has informed the CNV through the AIF as restricted access information, the individual compensation of Directors and syndics.

 

The Directors who are members of the Audit Committee do not receive additional compensation to perform their functions as members of such committee.

 

The Directors who are members of the Task Force do not receive additional compensation to perform their functions as members of such team either.

 

Messrs. Jorge C. Rendo, Alejandro A. Urricelqui and Pablo C. Casey are employees of the Company and carry out the tasks described above. As such, they are compensated with salaries for the tasks they carry out with the Company and do not receive compensation as members of the Board of Directors.

 

The Chart of Allocations to the Board for the fiscal year ended on 31.12.2013 was submitted through AIF to the Argentine Securities Commission on 27 March 2014 under ID No. 4-219160-D.

 

As reflected in the respective minutes of the shareholders' meetings that consider the financial statements corresponding to fiscal years 2010, 2011 and 2012, made available to the Shareholders on the AIF under ID Nos. 4-192068-D, 4-171156-D, 4-152489-D, respectively, the amounts paid to Directors have been the following:

However, we clarify that the Directors who are employees of the Company have been compensated by way of salaries (which are not advances of Directors' fees) collectively up to 31.12.2013 for an aggregate amount of Pesos Nine Million Nine Hundred Seventy One Thousand Two Hundred Forty Eight (Ps. 9,971,248), while the Directors who are not employees of the Company have been allocated up to 31.12.2013, collectively, an aggregate amount of Pesos One Million One Hundred Eighty Eight Thousand (Ps. 1,188,000), all subject to the decision of the shareholders.

The proposal for advances during fiscal year 2014 shall be the amounts paid in 2013 plus an increase in salaries that is preliminarily estimated at 25/30%.

 

d. (Point 5) Consideration of the performance of members of the Supervisory Committee;

 

Information relating to the performance of the Supervisory Committee with express individualisation of its members.

 

We also ask to know what was the role of the Supervisory Committee with respect to [the Company's actions to] conform to the Media Law, and we request the minutes of the meetings of the Supervisory Committee in which this subject was discussed.

 

The Supervisory Committee of Grupo Clarín S.A. is composed by the members Messrs. Pablo San Martín, Carlos Di Candia and Raúl Morán, appointed at the General Annual Shareholders' Meeting of the Company held on 25 April 2013. The duties of the syndics are set forth under Law No. 19,550 of Business Associations, under Section 294. In connection with the abovementioned duties, the members of the Supervisory Committee during fiscal year 2013 have: (i) overseen the management of the Company, examining the books and such documents as they have judged convenient, at least once every three (3) months; (ii) verified in the same way and with the same regularity the cash, cash equivalents and securities held by the Company as well as its obligations and their fulfilment; (iii) attended all the meetings of the Board of Directors and Shareholders' Meetings; (iv) controlled the creation and maintenance of the Directors' guarantees; (v) presented quarterly and annual reports on the economic and financial condition of the Company, and given their opinion on the Board's annual report, the inventory and financial statements; (vi) overseen that the corporate bodies have duly complied with the law, bylaws and shareholders' decisions.

 

With respect to the performance of the Supervisory Committee in connection with the Company's actions to conform to the Audiovisual Communication Services Law, the members of the Supervisory Committee have attended the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Shareholders' Meetings at which the matter was discussed. The Supervisory Committee has also reviewed the documents related to the Plan to Conform to the Audiovisual Communication Services Law and has maintained meetings with the legal advisors to gain knowledge of the technical aspects of such Plan.

 

e. (Point 6) Consideration of the compensation of the members of the Supervisory Committee for the economic year ended 31 December 2013. Authorisation to the Board of Directors to pay advances on compensation for economic year 2014, subject to the decision of the shareholders at the next Shareholders' Meeting at which compensation of the members of the Supervisory Committee is considered; 

 

Inform the breakdown of the proposed amount with express individualisation by syndic, and advances paid during fiscal year 2013, as well as the breakdown of the amount of advances proposed by the syndic for fiscal year 2014. We also request the amounts paid as fees to the Supervisory Committee in fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, as well as any other supporting information that may accompany this point.

 

As provided under Section 75 of Decree No. 1023/2013 and Interpretative Criterion No. 45, the Company has informed the CNV through the AIF as restricted access information, the individual compensation of Directors and syndics.

 

The proposal for advances during fiscal year 2014 will be the amounts paid in 2013 plus an increase along the lines indicated under the preceding point (which is preliminarily estimated at approximately 25/30%).

 

As reflected in the respective minutes of the shareholders' meetings held in 2011, 2012 and 2013, made available to the Shareholders on the AIF under ID Nos. 4-192068-D, 4-171156-D, 4-152489-D, respectively, the amounts paid to the Members of the Supervisory Committee have been the following:

 

Shareholders' Meeting held on 28 April 2011 - Fiscal Year ended 31.12.2010: Pesos sixty five thousand (Ps. 65,000) to each member.

 

Shareholders' Meeting held on 26 April 2012 - Fiscal Year ended 31.12.2011: Pesos eighty thousand (Ps. 80,000) to each member.

 

Shareholders' Meeting held on 25 April 2013 - Fiscal Year ended 31.12.2012: Pesos two hundred thousand (Ps. 200,000) to each member.

 

f. (Point 7) Consideration of the application of the Company's Retained Earnings as of 31 December 2013, which are of Ps. 479,831,556. The Board of Directors proposes the following allocation: i) to the Legal Reserve Ps. 6,750,470; ii) to the Optional Reserve to Provide Financial Aid to Subsidiaries and in Connection with the Audiovisual Communication Services Law Ps. 233,081,086 and iii) to the distribution of cash dividends Ps. 240,000,000, payable in two instalments, the first of which shall be of Ps. 80,000,000, due within the 30 days immediately following the Shareholders' Meeting, and the second instalment of Ps. 160,000,000, payable on or before 31 December 2014;

 

With respect to the proposal to distribute cash dividends provide the documentation referred to in the Annual Report to the 2013 Financial Statements ("the distribution of dividends proposed by each of the Boards of Directors of the companies in which Grupo Clarín participates, the cashflows of operating and financing activities expected for the future"). We also ask that you justify the statement that this dividend distribution proposal results from "prudent management" as indicated in the Annual Report to the 2013 Financial Statements, and inform on the economic-financial feasibility studies carried out to ground [the decision to distribute dividends].

 

With respect to the proposal to allocate Ps. 233,081,086 to the Optional Reserve to Provide Financial Aid to Subsidiaries and in Connection with the Audiovisual Communication Services Law: provide information about the economic-financial impact of the Plan to Conform to the Media Law approved for the company (analysis of the impact on earnings of the application of the Media Law, financial projections, etc.), budgets and projected cashflows for each of the Communication Service Units (CSUs) that will result from such plan, technical valuations made for each CSU (using compared multiples methods, projected cashflow, market value, etc.) and, if applicable, inform about the offers received to date for the purchase of each CSU. Additionally, we request supporting documents and analysis that justifies that the Reserve to Provide Financial Aid to Subsidiaries and in Connection with the Audiovisual Communication Services Law be of Ps. 690,176,054 and that such amount is sufficient to resolve the "uncertainties that may occur related with the implementation of the plan to conform to the media law", as stated under the Annual Report to the 2013 Financial Statements, as well as any documentation and any other supporting information that may accompany this point.

 

Certain information requested under this point will not be subject to discussion at the shareholders' meeting called for the 29th of this month because it is not in the Agenda. Notwithstanding the above, we inform that the Board of Directors of the Company will be available to the shareholders after the shareholders' meeting to respond to any questions they may have.

 

The Company is fundamentally a holding company and, as such, the generation of the cashflows available for the payment of dividends comes basically from the dividends the Company collects from its subsidiaries. The Company does not expect that this situation will be reverted in the next fiscal year, except for the eventual effects of the implementation of the Plan to Conform to the Audiovisual Communication Services Law.

 

Consequently, the proposal to distribute dividends for Ps. 240 million was based on the consideration of the dividend proposals of the companies in which the Company participates directly. This information arises from the Annual Reports of each of these subsidiaries and its financial statements, which are public because they were submitted to the Argentine Securities Commission, the enforcement authority for the Company, and may be accessed though the AIF of such Commission. Notwithstanding the above, we summarise such information below:

 

· Artear 176.0 million (*)

· CLC 3.0 million

· CVB 15.0 million

· Vistone 60.0 million

· SHOSA 85.0 million

 

(*) As approved by the shareholders at the General Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on 28 February 2014 (See Note 18.e to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of the Company as of 31 December 2013).

 

Taking into account the situation described above, and adding to this that as stated several times in the past, the Company does not have a policy that governs the amount and the payment of dividends or other distributions, the Board considered that it would not be prudent to make a distribution of more than Ps. 240 million, which are related to the liquidity that the Company considers it will have to face their cancellation. Notwithstanding the above, was provided by the Argentine Business Associations Law, the distribution of dividends is a decision that corresponds strictly to the Shareholders of the Company, and the final distribution will be the one that is decided at the corresponding Shareholders' Meeting.

 

Once the amounts corresponding to the Legal Reserve and the proposal for the distribution of Cash Dividends, there was a balance of Ps. 233,081,086, the allocation of which had to be proposed by the Board of Directors to the Shareholders. Given the circumstances that the Company and its related companies are undergoing (situations that are amply described in the respective Annual Report and in their financial statements, both of which are public and have been filed with the Argentine Securities Commission), the Board has deemed it prudent to allocate the balance to this reserve.

 

The Reserve in question has been created not only to face the Plan to Conform to the Audiovisual Communication Services Law, but also to provide financial assistance to the subsidiaries. In fact, subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, and as described under Note 18 (Subsequent Events) to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of the Company, the Company has made an Irrevocable Capital Contribution on Account of Future Share Subscriptions in AGEA for an aggregate amount of Ps. 225 million, and during fiscal year 2013 the company has made Contributions in controlled companies for Ps. 9 million (as detailed in the Parent Company Only Statement of Cashflows). With respect to the sufficiency of the total amount of this Reserve to face eventual needs that the implementation of the Plan may require, it is important to highlight that, as mentioned above, the final outcome of the proposed Plan depends on a series of decisions and approvals that have not yet concluded, the final impact of which, depending on the way that these still uncertain situations may be resolved, could give rise to different-even opposite-accounting results. All this notwithstanding that this situation could lead to a loss in company value and in the Company's potential as a consequence of the reduction of its scale, the magnitude and size of which will depend on the final outcome of the situations mentioned above. Consequently, it would be daring and imprudent to make any certain affirmations of the kind that was requested. However, the final allocation of the results of the year shall be the one that the Shareholders decide at the corresponding Shareholders' Meeting.

 

g. (Point 8) Appointment of the members and alternate members of the Board of Directors;

 

Inform the names proposed by the controlling shareholder and any other information referred to this point.

 

To date the Company has not received any proposal from any shareholder with respect to the appointment of the members and alternate members of the Board of Directors.

 

h. (Point 9) Appointment of the members and alternate members of the Supervisory Committee;

 

Inform the names proposed by the controlling shareholder and any other information referred to this point.

 

To date, the Board has not received any proposal from any shareholder with respect to the appointment of the members and alternate members of the Supervisory Committee.

 

i. (Point 10) Approval of the annual budget of the Audit Committee;

 

Inform the amount of the budget for the Audit Committee for fiscal year 2014 and the real amount executed for this purpose in fiscal year 2013, 2012 and 2011, as well as any other supporting information that may accompany this point.

 

The Board of Directors has proposed that the amount of the annual budget of the Audit Committee for fiscal year 2014 be of Ps. 500,000.

 

We inform that the amounts of the budget of the Audit Committee duly approved by the shareholders at the shareholders' meetings held in 2011, 2012 and 2013, uploaded onto the AIF under ID Nos. 4-192068-D, 4-171156-D, 4-152489-D, respectively, were fully executed.

 

j. (Point 11) Consideration of the fees of the External Auditor for the economic year ended 31 December 2013;

 

Inform on the proposal of the amount of fees payable to the External Auditor corresponding to the economic year ended 31 December 2013, as well as the real amount used during fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010; and any other supporting information that may accompany this point.

 

Below we inform the aggregate amount for Grupo Clarín S.A. of the fees of the external auditor Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L. corresponding to work related to:

 

- the issuance of its limited review report on the financial statements for the interim periods ended 31 March, 30 June and 30 September of each year; and

- the issuance of its audit report on the financial statements as of 31 December of each year;

k. (Point 12) Appointment of the Company's External Auditor.

 

Inform proposal with respect to the appointment of external auditors for fiscal year 2014.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company has decided to propose to the Shareholders that the firm Price Waterhouse & Co. continue to act as the Company's external auditor. Pursuant to the affidavits that were duly uploaded onto the AIF under ID No. 4-220680-D the Auditor will be Teresita Mabel Amor and the Alternate Auditor will be Mr. Alejandro Pablo Frechou.

 

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

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Alfredo Marín
