1.	BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Business Overview

Transportadora de Gas del Sur S.A. (“TGS” or the “Company”) is one of the companies created as a result of the privatization of Gas del Estado S.E. (“GdE”). TGS commenced operations on December 29, 1992 and it is mainly engaged in the Transportation of Natural Gas, and Production and Commercialization of natural gas Liquids (“Liquids”). TGS’s pipeline system connects major natural gas fields in southern and western Argentina with natural gas distributors and industries in those areas and in the greater Buenos Aires area. The natural gas transportation license to operate this system was exclusively granted to TGS for a period of thirty-five years (“the License”). TGS is entitled to a one-time extension of ten years provided that it has essentially met the obligations imposed by the License and by the Ente Nacional Regulador del Gas (National Gas Regulatory Body or “ENARGAS”). The General Cerri Gas Processing Complex (the “Cerri Complex”), where TGS processes natural gas by extracting liquids, was transferred from GdE along with the gas transmission assets. TGS also provides midstream services, which mainly consist of gas treatment, removal of impurities from the natural gas stream, gas compression, wellhead gas gathering and pipeline construction, operation and maintenance services. Also, telecommunications services are provided through the subsidiary Telcosur S.A. (“Telcosur”). These services consist of data transmission services through a network of digital terrestrial radio relay.

On April 26, 2017, the Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting approved the amendment of TGS’ by-laws (the “Statutory Modification”) in order to: (i) expand the corporate purpose in order to incorporate the development of complementary, accessory, related and / or derived activities of natural gas transportation, such as the generation and sale of electricity and the provision of other services for the hydrocarbons sector in general, and (ii) the creation of an Executive Committee of the Board of Directors under the terms of Article 269 of the General Companies Law. The objective is to provide this Administration body with greater flexibility in decision-making. In relation to compliance with the regulatory requirements, it has been recorded that the Statutory Modification has not received comments from ENARGAS, in what concerns its competence, as informed by a note dated April 25, 2017, nor from (ii) the Comisión Nacional de Valores (“CNV”), which has made up the Statutory Modification through a note dated April 18, 2017. On July 14, 2017, through the issuance of Resolution No. 18,852, the CNV approved the Statutory Modification, which finally was approved by the General Inspection of Justice on July, 25, 2017.
