BUENOS AIRES – MetroGAS S.A. (“MetroGAS”), an Argentine natural gas distributor, announced today that it has filed a Form 15F with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with the intention of terminating its reporting obligations under Section 13(a) and Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
