| Ref.: Registration of the Form F-3 with the SEC related to the Company’s shares sold and the options granted by Repsol YPF Group. |
Dear Sirs,
In compliance with the regulations in force, we hereby inform you that the Board of Directors of YPF S.A. (the “Company”) has approved, at the request of the shareholder Repsol YPF S.A., the preparation and filing of the Form F-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 of the United States of America. The filing of this new Form F-3 is made due to the registration duties undertaken by Repsol YPF S.A. in relation to the sale of shares by such shareholder to Eton Park Master Fund, Ltd. and Eton Park Fund, L.P. (jointly “Eton Funds”) and to Capital Guardian Emerging Markets Equity Master Fund, Capital Guardian Emerging Markets Equity DC Master Fund, Capital International Emerging Markets Fund, Capital Guardian Emerging Markets Equity Fund for Tax-Exempt Trusts, Emerging Markets Growth Fund, Inc., Capital Guardian Emerging Markets Restricted Equity Fund for Tax-Exempt Trusts, Capital International Emerging Markets Total Opportunities, Capital Guardian Emerging Markets Total Opportunities Master Fund and Capital Guardian Emerging Markets Total Opportunities Fund for Tax-Exempt Trusts (jointly “Capital Funds”), whereby Eton Funds and Capital Funds acquired approximately 1.63% of the capital stock of YPF S.A. each, and the sale of options (“warrants”) representing approximately 1.63% of YPF’s capital stock to Eton Funds (in this case, in relation to the underlying shares).
According to the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 of the United States of America, the sale of the mentioned shares is restricted, unless they are registered by means of a Form F-3 or by means of an exemption from registration.
Yours sincerely,
_____________________
