Dear Sirs:
The purpose of this letter is to comply with the requirements of Article 23, Chapter VII of the Merval Listing Regulations.
In this regard, please be informed that YPF S.A. (“YPF”) signed an agreement (the “Agreement”) on the date hereof with Statoil Holding Netherlands B.V. (“Statoil”), pursuant to which the parties agreed on the principal terms and conditions for the exploration and eventual joint development in two phases in the Bajo del Toro area (the “Area”), located in the Province of Neuquén (see attached map). YPF will continue as the operator of the Area, which covers a total of 157 km2 (38,800 acres).
The Agreement provides for a period of exclusivity for the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements. Once such agreements are signed and certain conditions precedent are fulfilled, including the receipt of applicable regulatory approval from the authorities of the Province of Neuquén, Statoil will acquire a participating interest of 50% in the non-conventional exploration concession for the Area, while YPF will continue to hold the remaining 50% participating interest directly and indirectly. In exchange for this assignment, Statoil will acknowledge YPF’s investments and expenditures in the Area and will pay 100% of certain future investments in the work program agreed between the parties.
Yours faithfully,
Diego Celaá
