GRUPO CLARIN S.A.

Supercanal Litigation

 

On 29 August 2012, Grupo Clarín S.A. (the "Company") submitted to the Argentine Securities Commission and the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange a copy of the decision rendered on 28 August 2012 by the Supreme Court of Argentina (the "Supreme Court") in re "Ami Cable Holding LTD y otros s/ incidente". The Company´s subsidiary Cablevisión S.A. ("Cablevisión") had access to the contents of the decision through the Centro de Información Judicial, an on-line news agency managed by the Argentine Judicial Branch. In its decision, the Supreme Court ruled that a jurisdictional issue had arisen between Chamber II of the National Court of Appeals on Federal Civil and Commercial Matters of the City of Buenos Aires, which currently hears the case "Ami Cable Holding LTD y otros s/apel resol Comisión Nac Defensa de la Competencia", and Federal Court No. 2 of Mendoza, which currently hears the case "Supercanal S.A. c/ Cablevisión S.A. y otros s/amparo". The existence of such jurisdictional issue gives rise to the intervention of the Supreme Court pursuant to Section 24, Subsection 7 of Decree/Law No. 1285/58.
