The Secretary informed that this item of business had to be considered at an Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting. CIESA representative took the floor and informed the shareholders that the Board of Directors of the Company had considered it appropriate to submit to the consideration of the Shareholders’ Meeting the amendment of its By-Laws in order (i) to broaden the Corporate Purpose so as to incorporate the conduct of activities that are supplementary, accessory or related to, or arising from, the transport of natural gas and (ii) to create an Executive Committee in order to make operations more agile within the Management body of the Company. The broadening of the Corporate Purpose is proposed in view of the new policies launched by the Federal Government in the energy sector and for the purpose that the Company may develop electric power generation and marketing projects and increase its


interests in midstream businesses in the hydrocarbon industry. CIESA representative explained that pursuant to Article 18 of TGS’s By-Laws and TGS’s License Basic Rules, Annex I of Executive Decree No. 2458/92, the Company has sought prior authorization from ENARGAS so as to proceed to amend Article 4 of the By-Laws. On the other hand in order to expedite Board operations, the creation of an Executive Committee within the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of Article 269 of Law No. 19,550 was being proposed. For such purposes, and given that the referred Article prescribes that the organization of such Committee must be expressly provided for in the By-laws, a motion was made to amend Article 30 of the By-Laws. For such purpose, CIESA representative moved that, pursuant to the wording approved by the Board of Directors (wording that had been duly disclosed to the market through Comisión Nacional de Valores, Mercado de Valores de Buenos Aires SA, Mercado Abierto Electrónico SA and the Securities and Exchange Commission) Articles 4 and 30 of the By-Laws be amended to read as follows: “Article 4: The purpose of the company shall be: to render the public service of natural gas transportation, either for its own account or for the account of third parties o associated with third parties in Argentina.

The company may also conduct any kind of financial transaction, in general, excluding those prescribed in the Law of Financial Institutions (Ley de Entidades Financieras) and may incorporate and hold interests in corporations making any necessary capital investment for such purpose”. “Article 30: The Board of Directors is vested with the broadest powers and authority for the direction, organization and management of the company, with no other restrictions than those resulting from the Law and these By-Laws. The Board of Directors may create an Executive Committee composed of four (4) members: the Directors who have been designated as President and Vice-President of the Company, and any other two (2) Directors elected by simple majority, to hold office for one (1) year. Such Committee shall hold valid meetings with a quorum of the majority of its members, the attendance of the President and Vice-President of the Company shall be necessary for such purpose. Action shall be adopted by the unanimous vote of its members and the Executive Committee shall have the authority vested thereupon by the Board of Directors. In case of absence of the Directors designated as President and Vice-President of the Company, they may be replaced by the respective Alternate Directors designated to such end by the Shareholders’ Meeting”. The Meeting was informed that the Argentine Securities Exchange Commission (Comisión Nacional de


Valores) [“CNV”] had confirmed the proposed amendments to the By-Laws by means of a note issued on April 18, 2017 in the file No. 1353/2017 under the caption “Transportadora de Gas del Sur S.A. s/ Inscripción Reforma Estatuto Art. 4 y 30” (Registration of Amendment to Articles 4 and 30 of the By-Laws) (Shareholders’ Meeting 26/04/2017)” in the frame of the prior presentation filed by the Company with CNV within the statutory time periods. And that, as regards ENARGAS’s scope of authority, ENARGAS had issued Note ENRG GAL/GDyE/GT No. 03581 of April 25, 2017 –in the frame of File ENARGAS No. 31591, Actuación ENRG No. 10324/17- informing that there were no objections to be made as to the amendment of Article 4 of TGS’s By-Laws.
