Exchange of NO
On July 2, 2020, YPF offered Class XIII NO denominated in dollars, accruing interest at a fixed rate of 8.5% redeemable, maturing in 2025, for a nominal value of up to US$ 950 million and a payment of US$ 100 in cash for each US$ 1,000 in principal amount, to be issued in exchange for Class XLVII NO issued on March 23, 2016 for a nominal value of US$ 1,000 million, maturing in 2021.
In addition, on July 13, 2020, YPF announced certain changes related to the offering, offering Class XIII NO for a nominal value of up to US$ 925 million and a payment of US$ 125 in cash for each US$ 1,000 in principal amount.
On July 31, 2020, the operation finally expired. The nominal value of the Class XLVII NO submitted to the exchange amounted to US$ 587.3 million, representing an adhesion of 58.73%. As a result of the transaction, YPF issued Class XIII NO for US$ 542.8 million and paid approximately US$ 90 million in cash (including accrued and unpaid interests on Class XLVII NO).
YPF assessed whether the instruments subject to exchange were substantially different, considering both qualitative (e.g., currency, term and rate) and quantitative aspects (if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received, and discounted using the original effective interest rate, is at least 10% different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability). In this regard, the Company recognizes the exchange of the NO as a modification in accordance with IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” due to the fact that the instruments subject to exchange are not substantially different. As a result of the transaction, YPF recognized a loss of 2,097 (see Note 28).
In the context of the foreign exchange restrictions established by Communication “A” 7,106 of the BCRA (see Note 35.g)) and after formal consultation to the BCRA, which was answered by the negative, with respect to possibility of complying to said regulation through the refinancing reached in July 2020 in relation to the Class XLVII NOs with maturity in 2021, and with the additional objective of easing the financial commitments of the Company for the next 2 years, on January 7, 2021, YPF launched an exchange offer of Classes XLVII, XXVIII, XIII, XXXIX, LIII, I and LIV NOs (the “Existing Negotiable Obligations”),
for new Classes XVI, XVII and XVIII NOs (the “New Negotiable Obligations”) denominated in dollars at a step up fixed interest rate, ranging from 1.5% to 9%, repayable between 2023 and 2033, including an initial cash payment for Class XLVII NOs.
The New Negotiable Obligations contain usual covenants, similar to those of the Existing Negotiable Obligations. In addition, Class XVI NOs are secured by (i) the assignment of collection rights arising from the export of certain exportable products under sale agreements entered into by YPF with widely recognized market traders; and (ii) a first pledge on YPF EE shares representing 50% of the outstanding capital stock and voting rights in this company, as long as at least 50% of the principal of Class XVI NOs remains outstanding.
On February 11, 2021, upon expiration of the early participation period for holders of Class XLVII NOs and the exchange offer for the rest of the Existing Negotiable Obligations, YPF announced that it had reached a global participation to the exchange of 32% and 59.8% of Class XLVII NOs. With such results, and taking into account that the refinancing of principal and interest of all Existing Negotiable Obligations that were included in the exchange largely exceeds the required 60% refinancing of the Class XLVII NO, on that same day the BCRA approved YPF’ s access to the free exchange market to pay the cash component offered to holders that submitted Class XLVII NO in exchange, and to pay Class XLVII NOs that were not exchanged at their maturity. In addition, the BCRA authorized access to the foreign exchange market for the payment of all Class VIII NOs due in March 2021 in the amount of approximately US$ 9 million.
Therefore, on February 12, 2021, and March 1 (closing date for late participation of Class XLVII NOs holders), YPF issued new Class XVI, XVII and XVIII NOs for a total principal amount of US$ 775.8 million, US$ 747.8 million and US$ 575.6 million, respectively, and tender instructions were received to submit the Existing Negotiable Obligation as detailed below:
 
 
-
 
Class XLVII NO for a principal amount of US$ 247.3
 
million.
 
 
-
 
Class XXVIII NO for a principal amount of US$ 656.4
 
million.
 
 
-
 
Class XIII NO for a principal amount of US$ 201.7
 
million.
 
 
-
 
Class XXXIX NO for a principal amount of US$ 368.2
 
million.
 
 
-
 
Class LIII NO for a principal amount of US$ 190.7
 
million.
 
 
-
 
Class I NO for a principal amount of US$ 101.0
 
million.
 
 
-
 
Class LIV NO for a principal amount of US$ 213.4
 
million.
YPF assessed whether the instruments subject to exchange were substantially different, considering both qualitative (e.g., currency, term, rate, among others) and quantitative aspects (if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received, and discounted using the original effective interest rates, is at least 10% different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liabilities). In this regard, the Company recognized the exchange of the NOs as a debt modification according to IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” due to the fact that the instruments subject to exchange were not substantially different. As a result of the transaction, YPF recognized a profit of 1,855 (see Note 28).
