Re:
YPF S.A. enters into an agreement with Dow Argentina

The purpose of this letter is to comply with the requirements of Section 23 of the Regulations of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange.
 
To that end, please be advised that, on the date hereof, YPF S.A. (“YPF”) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “Agreement”) with PBB Polisur S.A., a company owned by Dow Argentina (“Dow”), whereby YPF grants Dow, effective as of the date hereof, the exclusive right to negotiate the final terms and conditions under which YPF would assign 50% of its interest in the “El Orejano” area, which comprises a total area of 41 km2 (10,131 acres) in the province of Neuquén (see map attached).  Initially, the commitment would be for the development of the first shale gas pilot project in Argentina.
 
YPF started up in the “El Orejano” area its first shale gas well from Vaca Muerta, the production of which YPF turned over to the central system.
 
Yours faithfully,
 
  

 
Gabriel E. Abalos
