<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Dear Sirs,</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 99.25pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 99.25pt">I am writing to you, in my capacity
as Head of Market Relations of Pampa Energ&iacute;a S.A. (the &ldquo;<U>Company</U>&rdquo;) in order to inform our participation in the
&ldquo;Vaca Muerta Sur Project&rdquo; as shareholder of VMOS S.A. (&ldquo;<U>VMOS</U>&rdquo;), along with YPF S.A., Vista Energy Argentina
S.A.U. and Pan American Sur S.A. (the &ldquo;<U>Shareholders</U>&rdquo;). Likewise, it is possible that other crude oil producers will
join the Project in early March.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 99.25pt">VMOS will develop an investment
project consisting of the construction, development, and operation of a pipeline approximately 437 km in length, running from Allen to
Punta Colorada in the Province of R&iacute;o Negro. The project will include a loading and unloading terminal with interconnected monobuoys,
a tank farm, and ancillary facilities associated with these assets. The purpose is to carry out (i) transportation, storage, and shipment
activities for crude oil, including loading, unloading, storage, and dispatch of hydrocarbons; (ii) the export of crude oil and other
liquid products; and (iii) other activities related to the aforementioned (the &quot;<U>Project</U>&quot;). The Project anticipates a
total estimated investment of approximately US$ 3 billion, which will be partially funded through external financing and, to a lesser
extent, through capital contributions. The Company has committed to investing a percentage based on its participation in the Project.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 99.25pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 99.25pt">The Company will hold an initial
18% stake in VMOS, which may vary depending on the entry of other shareholders into the Project. As part of the Project, and under a firm
transportation agreement, it will have the capacity to transport, store, and dispatch 50,000 barrels per day.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 99.25pt">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 99.25pt">We also inform that, on November
15, 2024, VMOS submitted an application to join the &quot;Incentives Regime for Large Investments&quot; (RIGI), in accordance with Law
27,442, Regulatory Decree No. 749/2024, and other regulations that may amend and/or complement them, to be considered a Strategic Long-Term
Export Project.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 106.35pt">The Project is essential for
facilitating the evacuation of crude oil production from the Vaca Muerta formation&mdash;and specifically, for the Company, from the Rinc&oacute;n
de Aranda area. It will enable increased production and export of crude oil from this formation, utilizing VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carriers),
thereby reducing transportation costs and opening new markets for Argentine oil. Additionally, it will contribute to the country's development
through the generation of foreign exchange and employment, while significantly boosting the Company's crude oil exports increasing its
current firm transportation capacity by 9.</P>
