<P style="margin-top:7.333px; margin-bottom:7.333px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The purpose hereof is to inform you -in accordance with the requirements of the regulations under the United States Securities and Exchange Act-, that on May 7, 2013 TGS&#146; Board of Directors approved the amendment to certain terms and conditions of the loan granted to Pampa Energ&#237;a S.A. on October 5, 2011 for the amount of $ 26,000,000 (the &#147;Loan&#148;), including -among others- the extension of its expiration date to October 6, 2014 (automatically renewable for a year upon expiration). </P>
<P style="margin:0px" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The Chairman of TGS&#146; Board of Directors previously requested TGS&#146; Audit Committee to issue a report about the amendment to certain terms and conditions of the Loan. On May 7, 2013 -using the external specialist&#146;s report as supporting documentation- the Audit Committee concluded that said amendment can be considered under ordinary and regular market conditions. </P>
<P style="margin:0px" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>It should be noted that both the Audit Committee&#146;s report and the external specialist&#146;s report, on which the former is based -among others-, are available to shareholders at TGS&#146; headquarters (attn.: Ms. Valeria Kappel).</P>
