<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify><B>Buenos Aires, Argentina - Transportadora de Gas del Sur S.A. </B>(&quot;TGS&quot; or &quot;the Company&quot;) (NYSE: TGS, MERVAL:TGSU2) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a proposal to restructure substantially all of its outstanding unsecured indebtedness (the &#147;Restructuring Proposal&#148;).</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>If certain conditions are met, TGS will implement the Restructuring Proposal through an exchange of existing debt obligations for a combination of cash and new debt obligations or the amendment and restatement of certain debt obligations (the &#147;Exchange Offer&#148;). Additionally, the Company will be offering a payment in cancellation of all past due interest (&#147;PDI&#148;). &nbsp;The Exchange Offer will be completed only if the consent to the Company&#146;s Restructuring Proposal represents at least 96% in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding unsecured indebtedness.</P>
<P style="margin:0pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>TGS is offering to exchange: (i) Series No. 1 Floating Rate Notes due 2003, (ii) Series No. 2 10.375% Notes due 2003, (iii) Series No. 3 Floating Rate Notes originally due 2002 and extended until 2003, and (iv) the Floating Rate Note due 2006 (the &#147;Existing Notes,&#148; collectively amounting to US$ 600 million of aggregate principal amount), for a combination of a cash payment and new notes, containing new terms and conditions (as described in the Information Memorandum dated October 1<SUP>st</SUP>, 2004). &nbsp;Holders of short term debt (including pre-export financing loans, import financing loans, and other short term financing obligations, collectively amounting to US$ 92.6 million) and the Inter-American Development Bank (&#147;IDB&#148;) in respect of its outstanding loans to the Company, amounting to US$ 326 million (together the &#147;Other Debt Obligations&#148;) will be offered a combination of 
cash and new or amended and restated debt obligations, having the same economic terms and substantially the same restrictive covenants as those offered to holders of the Existing Notes.</P>

<P style="margin:0pt; line-height:13pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>If the conditions to the Exchange Offer are not achieved, TGS intends to implement the Restructuring Proposal through an <I>Acuerdo Preventivo Extrajudicial</I> procedure (the &#147;APE Solicitation&#148;), in accordance with the provisions of Argentine bankruptcy law 24,522. &nbsp;Depending on the aggregate principal amount of consents received in respect to the total outstanding unsecured indebtedness proposed for restructuring, the Restructuring Proposal will be accomplished by means of one of the two APE Restructuring Alternatives, described below. &nbsp;If the Company secures final endorsement of the APE procedure, the Restructuring Proposal will be binding on all holders of TGS&#146; s existing debt obligations, including those holders who did not consent to the restructuring. &nbsp;However, creditors who do not consent will not receive certain cash payments, but will instead receive additional new debt o
bligations.</P>
