Buenos Aires, February 18, 2005
Buenos Aires Stock Market
National Securities Commission
Dear Sirs,
In compliance with the regulations of the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, we hereby inform that we have been notified about a petition to extend the bankruptcy of Club YPF Mendoza to YPF S.A. We should mention that this social and sports club has neither a legal nor an economic relationship with YPF S.A.
We consider that this petition has no legal support, and therefore we will request a dismissal of the petition for insufficiency. Also, we want to declare that the amount involved in the Club YPF Mendoza bankruptcy amounts to Argentine $1,309,183 (approx. US$440,000), according to the general report issued by the receivership, dated October 14, 2003. Taking into account the economic and financial situation of YPF S.A., we consider this amount to be economically and materially irrelevant.
Sincerely yours,
By YPF S.A.
Carlos Olivieri
Economic-Financial Director
