Asset exchange between YPF and Pluspetrol S.A. (“Pluspetrol”)
On January 22, 2026, the Company entered into an asset exchange agreement with Pluspetrol (see Note 38 to the annual consolidated financial statements). On April 30, 2026, after the fulfillment of the closing conditions, the asset exchange agreement between YPF and Pluspetrol was completed, as a result of which YPF, which owned 50% of the rights and obligations in the “Aguada Villanueva,” “Las Tacanas,” and “Meseta Buena Esperanza” exploitation concessions prior to the aforementioned exchange, became the only owner of 100% of those concessions.
Likewise, on that date, YPF and Pluspetrol signed an amendment to the agreement entered into on January 22, 2026, whereby YPF agreed, subject to the fulfillment of closing conditions, to assign 20% of the “La Escalonada” and “Rincón La Ceniza” exploitation concessions to Pluspetrol through VMI, or alternatively, to transfer 44.44% of VMI’s shares to Pluspetrol.
On September 14, 2026, after the closing conditions set forth in the amendment dated April 30, 2026, had been met, the transaction was completed whereby YPF transferred to Pluspetrol a 20% interest in the “La Escalonada” and “Rincón La Ceniza” exploitation concessions through VMI.
As of September 30, 2026, based on the aforementioned, the Group recognized 219 in assets net of liabilities related to the acquisition of the interest in the “Aguada Villanueva”, “Las Tacanas”, and “Meseta Buena Esperanza” exploitation concessions and derecognized assets net of liabilities in the same amount corresponding to the interest in the “La Escalonada” and “Rincón La Ceniza” exploitation concessions transferred through VMI. VMI, following the aforementioned transfer, retains a 25% interest in those concessions.
In accordance with the transaction described and the expected cash flows from the exchanged assets, the closing of the transaction had no impact on profit or loss.
