Ref.: Relevant Event. Report on Repurchase of Shares.
Dear Sirs,
I am writing to you to inform you, in my capacity as Head of Market Relations of Pampa Energía S.A. (the “Company”), in addition to the Relevant Events published on March 20th, 21st and 23rd, 2018, as to update the shares acquired in the process to repurchase its own shares that will be destined for the implementation of a Share Compensation Plan, in accordance with art. 64 of Law 26.831 and the National Securities Commission (“Comisión Nacional de Valores”) regulation and the terms and conditions approved by the Board of Directors on its meeting held on March 8, 2018 as informed to the market on the Relevant Event published on that same date.
We inform that, on the Relevant Event published on March 23rd, 2018 due to a mistake we informed that the Company had acquired“400,000 of its own ordinary shares, with a nominal value of AR$1 each, and one vote per share”but the Company had acquired 40.000 instead. Due to this mistake on the Relevant Event dated March 23rd, 2018 where it says 400.000 it should say 40.000 of its own ordinary shares, with a nominal value of AR$1 each, and one vote per share, for an amount of AR$ 1,983,960.
To this regard, I inform that today the Company has acquired 234,750 of its own ordinary shares, with a nominal value of AR$1 each, and one vote per share; and 16,000 ADRs (each representative of 25 ordinary shares of the Company) in the amount and at a price per share and ADR that is described below:
Date of Acquisition | Amount of Shares | Price AR$ | Total Amount - AR$ | Broker |
Mar-26-18 | 234,750 | 49.74740 | 11,678,202 | SBS Trading S.A. |
Date of Acquisition | Amount of ADRs | Price US$ | Total Amount - US$ | Broker |
Mar-26-18 | 16,000 | 61.784200 | 988,547 | SBS Trading S.A. |
|
|
|
|
|
Due to the above mentioned, we inform that today the Company has reached the maximum amount authorized by the Board of Directors for the process to repurchase its own shares. In consequence, we inform to the market that the process has ended.
Sincerely.
