April 22, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 74 ORDER: On March 2, 2016, the court granted the Republic of Argentina's motion to vacate the pari passu injunctions upon the occurrence of two conditions precedent: (1) The Republic repeals all legislative obstacles to settlement with the FAA bondholders, including the Lock Law and the Sovereign Payment Law; (2) For all plaintiffs that entered into agreements in principle with the Republic on or before February 29, 2016, the Republic must make full payment in accordance with the specific terms of each such agreement. The Republic must also notify the court once those plaintiffs have all received full payment. Some plaintiffs appealed that March 2 vacatur order. On April 13, 2016, the Court of Appeals heard oral argument on the appeal and affirmed the vacatur order from the bench. The Court of Appeals then issued a written order, holding that this court did not abuse its discretion in ordering that the injunctions would be vacated upon satisfaction of the two conditions precedent. Aurelius Capital Master, Ltd. v. Republic of Argentina, No. 16-628, sum. order at 21 (2d Cir. Apr. 15, 2016). The Court of Appeals also noted that, at the time the Republic certifies it has satisfied the conditions precedent, this court should "take steps... to determine whether the conditions have indeed been met." Id. The Republic now certifies that it has satisfied the conditions precedent. In support of certification, the Republic submits two sworn declarations. The first is the declaration of Undersecretary of Finance Santiago Bausili, which shows that the Republic has repealed all legislative obstacles to settlement, including the Lock Law and the Sovereign Payment Law. The second is the declaration of Matthew Dukes, Director of Deutsche Bank Securities, which lists the settlement payments made to every plaintiff that entered into an agreement in principle by February 29, 2016. For each payment, the Dukes declaration confirms the plaintiffs name, settlement amount, and Fedwire reference number. Having carefully reviewed the Republic's submissions, the court now finds that the conditions precedent have been met. Accordingly, the injunctions are vacated in all cases. All stipulations of dismissal are to be filed with the court no later than 2:00 p.m. on April 25, 2016. (Signed by Judge Thomas P. Griesa on 4/22/2016) (tro)

April 19, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 72 ORDER: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: Argentina shall identify promptly all series of Exchange Bonds to be paid by BNY Mellon under the Indenture (the "Exchange Bonds Payments"), listing for each series the interest to be paid and the interest per $1000 or euro 1000 (as applicable) principal amount of each series of Exchange Bonds. Upon the fulfillment of the two conditions precedent referenced in the March 2 Order vacating the Injunctions, Argentina is authorized and directed to perform all of its obligations under the Indenture including, without limitation, payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts owed or payable to BNY Mellon thereunder. Upon determination by this Court that the two conditions precedent referenced in the March 2 Order have been met and receipt of the information set forth in the preceding paragraph, BNY Mellon is authorized and directed to distribute amounts received from Argentina, including, without limitation, the funds which Argentina transferred into BNY Mellon's accounts at Banco Central de la Republica Argentina on June 26, 2014, in accordance with the Indenture. The record date for purposes of such payments shall be the fifth Business Day (as defined in the Indenture) after this Court determines that the two conditions precedent referenced in the March 2 Order have been met and the payment date of such amounts shall be no later than 15 days following such record date, as Argentina shall instruct BNY Mellon with no less than three Business Days written notice, and payments shall be made to Holders (as defined in the Indenture) of record as of the close of business on the record date.

March 15, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 68 ORDER: After signing an Agreement in Principle on February 29, 2016, the Republic of Argentina and the captioned plaintiffs have jointly requested that the court order the settlement payment mechanism outlined in Addendum A. The Republic has signed agreements in principle with many plaintiffs that could result in settlements in various actions before this court. The settlements in all cases in the Argentina debt litigation present the court with extraordinary circumstances because the settlements are "of critical importance to the economic health of a nation." See EM Ltd. v. Republic of Argentina, 131 F. App'x 745, 747 (2d Cir. 2005). Any attempt to attach, restrain, or otherwise encumber funds intended for settlement of any action would be contrary to the public interest. See id. (recognizing this court's considerable discretion to deny attachment and restraint of funds "connect[ed] with a restructuring of Argentina's public debt to be accomplished through an issuance of new bonds"); Capital Ventures Int'l v. Republic of Argentina, 443 F.3d 214, 222-23 (2d Cir. 2006) (suggesting that this court could, in "extraordinary circumstances," exercise its discretion to deny attachments that are "against the public interest"); Capital Ventures Int'l v. Republic of Argentina, 652 F.3d 266, 273 (2d Cir. 2011) (again suggesting that this court could deny attachments that might impede a "deal [that] will have a substantial effect on [the Republic's] finances or its ability to access the capital markets"). Accordingly, the court now "so orders" the payment mechanism outlined in Addendum A. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Thomas P. Griesa on 3/15/2016) (Attachments: #1 Exhibit)(kl)

March 2, 2016 Opinion or Order Filing 64 OPINION AND ORDER: The court appreciates the arguments presented by all parties who spoke at yesterday's hearing. And the court does not take lightly the decision to lift the injunctions. But, ultimately, circumstances have changed so significantly as to render the injunctions inequitable and detrimental to the public interest. For the reasons outlined in the Indicative Ruling and this order, the court grants the Republic's motions to vacate the injunctions in all actions upon the occurrence of the two conditions precedent: (1) The Republic repeals all legislative obstacles to settlement with the FAA bondholders, including the Lock Law and the Sovereign Payment Law; (2) For all plaintiffs that entered into agreements in principle with the Republic on or before February 29, 2016, the Republic must make full payment in accordance with the specific terms of each such agreement. The Republic must also notify the court once those plaintiffs have all received full payment. (As further set forth in this Opinion) (Signed by Judge Thomas P.

Following review of the parties submissions in support of and opposition to dismissal and referral, as well as oral argument, the motion to refer appellants motion for remand is GRANTED, but that motion for remand is now reviewed as a motion to dismiss with prejudice consistent with Argentinas amendment at argument. The two pending motions to dismiss with prejudice are GRANTED pursuant to the parties agreement, confirmed in open court, as follows: 1. Before the indicative ruling is formally entered as an order, Argentina will file a motion in the district court seeking such relief, giving notice of the motion to all parties, and affording them an opportunity to be heard in the district court. 2. Argentina agrees to a stay of up to two weeks of any district court order formalizing the indicative ruling so that parties opposing the order can file a notice of appeal within two business days and seek a further stay of the order from a motions panel of this court pending appeal. Any such appeals will be consolidated for review by this court, and any party seeking a stay is hereby excused from further requirements of Fed. R. App. P. 8.
