On November 4, 2016, MercadoLibre, Inc., (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) to furnish information under Item 2.02.

Except for correction of the typographical error referenced above, this Form 8-K/A does not update, modify, or amend any disclosures set forth in the Original 8-K.
