$YPF · YPF SOCIEDAD ANONIMA

YPF filed a 6-K announcing it has doubled the maximum purchase price of its cash tender offers from $500 million to $1 billion. The tender targets two series: 6.950% Senior Notes due 2027 ($643.4M outstanding) and 2.500%/9.000% Step-Up Amortizing Notes due 2029 ($641M outstanding). The offers are contingent on YPF completing a new notes offering to fund the purchases, with expiration set for September 16, 2026.

Extended-hours trading shows YPF at $54.50, down 0.20% from the regular-session close of $54.61 — a muted reaction to the upsized tender. The $1B cap signals confidence in refinancing execution but the market appears to be waiting on the new-issue pricing.

YPF is aggressively refinancing its near-term debt stack — the $1B upsized tender signals confidence in market access but the new-issue pricing will determine the true cost of this liabilitymanagement

Argentine energy companies continue to access international debt markets to refinance near-term maturities, with YPF's tender targeting its 2027 and 2029 notes ahead of schedule.

The tender is conditioned on YPF completing a new notes offering to fund the purchases — if the new issuance fails or prices unfavorably, the tender could be terminated. Argentina's political and economic risks remain a backdrop for any cross-border debt transaction.
