Dear Sirs:

 

The purpose of this letter is to comply with the requirements of Article 23 of Chapter VII of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange Regulations.

In that regard, please be informed that YPF S.A. ("YPF") and O&G Developments Ltd. S.A. ("O&G"), an affiliate of Shell Compañía Argentina de Petróleo S.A., executed an agreement (the "Agreement") on the date hereof, through which YPF and O&G agreed on the principal terms and conditions for the joint development of a shale oil and shale gas pilot in two phases, for a joint investment amount of USD 305.8 million plus VAT, in the Bajada de Añelo area in the province of Neuquén (please see attached map), of which O&G will contribute 97.6% and YPF will contribute 2.4%. O&G will be the operator of the area.

The Agreement provides for a period of exclusivity for the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements. Once definitive agreements have been signed and certain conditions precedent have been fulfilled, including the relevant regulatory approval of the province of Neuquén authorities, the execution of the project will begin, through which O&G would acquire a 50% participating interest in the exploitation concession that covers an area of 204 km2.

 

Yours faithfully,
