Re: Relevant Information

Dear Sirs:

The purpose of this letter is to comply with the requirements of Article 23 of Chapter VI of the ByMA Listing Regulations.

In that regard, and continuing with our communications dated June 20, 2016, March 30, 2017 and May 26, 2017, and the disclosure set forth in YPF S.A.’s (“YPF” or the “Company”) Financial Statements, we inform you that YPF Holdings, Inc. and CLH Holdings, Inc., two subsidiaries of YPF, received notice of a lawsuit filed by the Maxus Energy Corporation’s Liquidating Trust (“Liquidating Trust”), which asserts alleged damages in an amount up to US$ 14 Billion principally in connection with alleged claims purportedly related to corporate restructuring transactions the Company engaged in several years ago. The lawsuit was filed before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Case N°16-11501 (CSS). YPF Holdings, Inc. and CLH Holdings, Inc. will dispute such allegations and claims and will interpose all the necessary legal remedies and will exercise all defensive measures in accordance with the applicable legal procedure in order to defend themselves and their rights.

The lawsuit filed by the Liquidating Trust also asserts claims against YPF and YPF International S.A., as well as against other non-affiliated companies of YPF. Although notice of the lawsuit has purportedly been sent to YPF and YPF International S.A., YPF is currently reviewing the validity of the alleged service. If they are validly served with the lawsuit, YPF and YPF International S.A. will also dispute the allegations and claims in the lawsuit and will interpose the necessary legal remedies and will exercise the defensive measures in accordance with the applicable legal procedure in order to defend themselves and their rights.

YPF acquired Maxus Energy Corporation in 1995 and did not cause any environmental contamination associated with the Passaic River in New Jersey nor in any other site related to that acquisition. The contamination occurred several years prior to the acquisition. Moreover, YPF, if validly served with the lawsuit, will vigorously defend from any allegation that the corporate transactions at issue in the complaint, which complied with applicable corporate governance and law, somehow rendered YPF liable to Maxus or its creditors.

Yours faithfully,

Diego Celaá

Market Relations Officer

YPF S.A.
