YPF S.A. Announces Results of Exchange Offer for 10% Notes Due 2028

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, April 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- YPF S.A. YPF today announced the results of its offer to exchange any and all of its outstanding 10% Medium-Term Notes (Series C) due 2028 (the "Old Notes") for 8.875% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "New Notes").

As of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on April 1, 2014 (the "Expiration Date"), YPF had received tenders of Old Notes as follows:

Holders of Old Notes who participated in the Exchange Offer will receive an amount of New Notes in principal amount equal to the amount of such accrued and unpaid interest, plus cash for any fractional portion of the New Notes, as described below.

YPF issued the original 8.875% Senior Notes due 2018, which have the same terms as the New Notes and will be fully fungible with the New Notes, in a principal amount of U.S.$500,000,000 on December 19, 2013 (the "Original 2018 Notes"). The aggregate principal amount of New Notes issued in exchange for Old Notes tendered in the exchange offer will be (i) increased by accrued and unpaid interest on the Old Notes, and then (ii) reduced by interest accrued on such New Notes from December 19, 2013 (as if they had been issued along with the Original 2018 Notes) up to but excluding the Settlement Date (as defined below), calculated based on the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes tendered. The total amount of New Notes to be issued to any tendering holder of Old Notes will be rounded down to the nearest U.S.$1,000. YPF will pay any fractional portion of the New Notes not received as a result of rounding down in cash. Interest on the New Notes will accrue from December 19, 2013.

The "Settlement Date" is expected to be April 4, 2014, the third business day after the Expiration Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter. On the Settlement Date, YPF will issue $86,560,000 principal amount of New Notes, and will pay approximately $13,600 in cash in respect of fractional portions of New Notes not issued as a result of rounding down.
