  Re:

YPF S.A. enters into two agreements with the EXMAR NV group for the liquefaction of natural gas

Dear Sirs:

We are hereby addressing you in compliance with the requirements of Article 23, Chapter VI of the ByMA Regulations.

In that regard, we inform that YPF S.A. (“YPF”) entered into two agreements: a charter agreement for a liquefaction barge, which will be named “Tango FLNG”, with Exmar Energy Netherlands B.V. (“Exmar”); and a liquefaction services agreement with Exmar Energy Services B.V. (both companies are affiliated to EXMAR N.V.). The agreements have a term of 10 years, with an investment by YPF of approximately US$ 20 million.

Through this agreement, YPF will be able to produce an approximate volume of 500,000 tons per year of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) by taking natural gas from its deposits throughout the country. This will enable it to export this natural resource to different international markets, including Asia, Europe and regional markets. This is the first floating LNG export project in Latin America, the third in the world, which will make Argentina part of the select group of LNG exporting countries. The barge has a storage capacity of 16,100 m3 LNG and liquefaction of 2.5 mm3/d of natural gas and will generate revenues of more than US$ 200 million per year.

The Tango FLNG is the first barge of its kind, it will operate in Bahía Blanca and is expected to begin operations during the second quarter of next year.

Yours faithfully,

Germán Fernández Lahore

Market Relations Officer

YPF S.A.
