YPF Sociedad Anónima Reveals Early Tender Offer Insights

YPF Sociedad Anónima Announces Early Tender Results

YPF Sociedad Anónima today shared significant details regarding its ongoing tender offers. These offers pertain to the purchase of up to US$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of outstanding securities. As part of its commitment to transparency and shareholder engagement, YPF has outlined the results following the early tender date.

Understanding the Tender Offers

The tender offers serve as a strategic financial maneuver by YPF to manage its outstanding securities effectively. The total principal amount for these offers is capped at US$500,000,000, excluding any premiums and accrued interest. The recent early tender results indicate that a considerable number of holders had validly tendered their securities prior to the specified early deadline.

Details on Securities Tendered

The results include a comprehensive overview of the securities that were tendered as well as those accepted. This early tender date is a critical milestone for YPF and its investors.

Healthy Participation in the Tender Offers

As reported, the results showed valid tenders exceeding the maximum threshold for certain securities. Holders of the senior notes due July 2025, for instance, were offered an early tender consideration of US$1,012.50 per US$1,000 principal amount. Meanwhile, for the notes due in 2027, the early tender consideration stands at US$971.50. These considerations reflect a strategic approach by YPF to optimize their capital structure.

Proration and Settlement Dates

It's noteworthy that since the tendered amount for the 2025 securities did not exceed the maximum limit, no proration is necessary. Conversely, with regards to the 2027 securities, a proration factor of 65.848% was implemented, aligning with YPF's established acceptance priority procedures. Investors whose securities are accepted can expect a settlement date shortly after the early tender date.

Final Notes on Withdrawal Rights

Please note that the rights to withdraw from the tender offers have expired as of the early tender date. YPF emphasizes that once a tender is made, it is binding and cannot be rescinded except under specific legal conditions.

Managing Expectations for Investors

In the event that the tender offers do not see further participation, YPF has reserved the right to amend or even withdraw any offer it deems necessary. This flexibility in approach is designed to safeguard the company’s interests and facilitate positive outcomes for shareholders.
