<P style="margin-top:7.333px; margin-bottom:0px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>I am writing to you, in my capacity as Head of Market Relations of Transportadora de Gas del Sur S.A. (&quot;TGS&quot; or the &#147;Company&#148;), in order to report that, in line with the provisions of Resolution no. 74E/2017 issued by the Ministry of Energy and Mining (&#147;MINEM&#148;) &#150;published in the Official Gazette today- the Gas Regulatory Body (&#147;ENARGAS&#148;) issued Resolution no. 4362/17 &#150;also published in the Official Gazette today-, whereby ENARGAS approves, starting April 1, 2017, a 58% increase in the current tariff charts for natural gas transportation public utilities carried out by TGS, representing a 6% increase for end users (the &#147;Increase&#148;).</P>
<P style="margin-top:7.333px; margin-bottom:0px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt" align=justify>The Increase is being granted within the framework of the Transitory Agreement entered into on March 30, 2017 among the Company, the Ministry of Energy and Mining and the Ministry of Finance (the &#147;Transitory Agreement&#148;), in order for TGS to have the resources required to carry out the corresponding Investment Plan established and to be overseen by &nbsp;ENARGAS (the &#147;Investment Plan&#148;).</P>
<P style="margin-top:7.333px; margin-bottom:7.333px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt">The Increase must be considered on account of the calculations to be made on at the date of enforcement of the Agreed Minute of License Comprehensive Renegotiation endorsed by TGS on March 30, 2017.</P>
<P style="margin-top:7.333px; margin-bottom:7.333px; font-family:Book Antiqua,Times New Roman; font-size:11pt">Lastly, and following the provisions of Section 3.3 of the Transitory Agreement, TGS shall not be allowed to pay dividends without by ENARGAS&#146; prior authorization, to which end evidence of compliance with the Investment Plan shall be submitted.</P>
