The Republic of Uruguay ("Uruguay") previously announced an offer to purchase for cash (the "Global Tender Offer") its bonds of each series of Global Bonds listed in the table below (collectively, the "Old Global Bonds" and each Old Global Bond, a "series" of Old Global Bonds), subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Offer to Purchase, dated Wednesday, October 22, 2025 (the "Offer to Purchase"). Uruguay has instructed Itau BBA USA Securities, Inc. (in such capacity, the "Billing and Delivery Bank"), to accept subject to proration and other terms and conditions contained in the Offer to Purchase, valid preferred tenders and non-preferred tenders in aggregate principal amounts of Old Global Bonds per series as set forth below.

The Global Tender Offer expired, as scheduled, on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, at 12:00 noon New York time for non-preferred tenders and at 2:00 p.m. New York time for preferred tenders.

The aggregate principal amount of preferred and non-preferred tenders of Old Global Bonds and the aggregate principal amount of preferred and non-preferred tenders of such Old Global Bonds that have been accepted are shown in the table below.  Appropriate adjustments will be made so that purchases are made in the minimum denominations set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

In accordance with the Offer to Purchase, the purchase price to be paid per Ps. 1,000 principal amount of each series of Old Global Bonds tendered and accepted pursuant to the Global Tender Offer will be equal to the fixed price indicated in the table below (the "Purchase Price").

Holders of Old Global Bonds held through the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") that have been validly tendered and accepted pursuant to the Global Tender Offer must deliver their accepted Old Global Bonds to the relevant Dealer Manager (as defined below) no later than 3:00 p.m., New York time, on the Settlement Date.

The Settlement Date is expected to occur on Monday, October 27, 2025, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase. 

Failure to deliver Old Global Bonds on time may result (i) in the cancellation of your tender and in you becoming liable for any damages resulting from that failure, (ii) in the case of preferred tenders (a) in the cancellation of any allocation of Uruguay's new Global Ps. Bonds maturing in 2035 (the "New Bonds") in the New Bonds Offering (as defined below) in respect of your related indication of interest and/or (b) in the cancellation of your tender and in your remaining obligated to purchase your allocation of New Bonds in respect of your related indication of interest and/or (iii) in the delivery of a buy-in notice for the purchase of such Old Global Bonds, executed in accordance with customary brokerage practices for corporate fixed income securities. Any holder whose tender is cancelled will not receive the purchase price or accrued interest.

All Old Global Bonds that are tendered pursuant to tender orders placed through a Dealer Manager and are accepted as instructed by Uruguay will be purchased by the Billing and Delivery Bank in such amounts as Uruguay shall determine and subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase, only the Billing and Delivery Bank will be liable for the payment of the purchase price and accrued interest for Old Global Bonds validly tendered and accepted by Uruguay as described in the Offer to Purchase. Uruguay will not be liable under any circumstances for the payment of the purchase price and accrued interest for any Old Global Bonds tendered in the Global Tender Offer by any holder. The Billing and Delivery Bank shall only have the obligation to sell to Uruguay the Old Global Bonds validly tendered and accepted for purchase that the Billing and Delivery Bank has actually purchased pursuant to the Global Tender Offer on the Settlement Date. Tender orders that are not for permitted tender amounts have not been accepted.

Subject to the conditions to settlement of the Global Tender Offer, Old Global Bonds accepted for purchase will be settled on a delivery versus payment basis solely with the Billing and Delivery Bank on the Settlement Date, in accordance with customary brokerage practices for corporate fixed income securities.

Uruguay has agreed to apply a portion of the net proceeds of its new bonds offering announced on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 (the "New Bonds Offering") to purchase the Old Global Bonds accepted pursuant to the Global Tender Offer from the Billing and Delivery Bank at the applicable purchase price plus accrued interest in accordance with the Offer to Purchase.
