<P style="line-height:12pt; margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="line-height:12pt; margin:0px; 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 August 12, 2016, Petrobras Argentina S.A. (&#147;PESA&#148;) notified the acceptance of the offers submitted by TGS (the &#147;Notification&#148;) in connection with: (i) a Compression and Conditioning Service Agreement (the &#147;New Service&#148;) and (ii) a Leasing Agreement (the &#147;Leasing&#148;) (collectively, the &#147;Agreements&#148;), both relating to R&#237;o Neuqu&#233;n Plant owned by TGS (the &#147;Plant&#148;).</P>
<P style="line-height:12pt; margin:0px" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="line-height:12pt; margin:0px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The technical and economic conditions for the provision of the New Service include: (a) a long-term service agreement with beneficial conditions for TGS, which shall provide the natural gas compression and conditioning services coming from R&#237;o Neuqu&#233;n hydrocarbon deposit, of which PESA is the licensee and (b) the possibility to buy the improvements made by PESA in the Plant in the last three years, through a purchase option provided for in the Leasing.</P>
<P style="line-height:12pt; margin:0px" align=justify><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>Prior to the Board of Directors&#146; approval of the terms and conditions for the negotiation of the Agreements by TGS&#146; CEO, the Chairman of TGS&#146; Board of Directors requested the Audit Committee to issue a report, in compliance with section 72 of Capital Market Law 26,831.</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>In keeping with said request and based on the documents analyzed in connection thereto, the Audit Committee concluded that the Agreements can be reasonably considered arm&#146;s-length Agreements.</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>Therefore, TGS&#146; Board of Directors unanimously approved to instruct TGS&#146; CEO to negotiate the Agreements with PESA, under the terms and conditions approved in the Board&#146;s meeting, which were accepted through submittal of the Notification.</P>
<P style="margin:0px" align=justify><BR></P>
