BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, July 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Petrobras Argentina S.A. (the "Company") announced today that it has commenced an offer to purchase for cash (the "Offer") any and all of the Company's outstanding 5.875% Series S Notes due 2017 (CUSIP Nos. 71646J AB5 / P7873P AD8; ISIN Nos. US71646JAB52 / USP7873PAD89) (the "Notes") pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Company's Offer to Purchase dated July 6, 2016 (the "Offer to Purchase"). The Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 2, 2016, unless the Offer is extended or earlier terminated (the "Expiration Time").

The total consideration for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be U.S.$1,041.25 (the "Total Consideration"). The Total Consideration includes a payment of U.S.$30 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes (the "Early Tender Payment") payable only in respect of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline. Only Holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration (including the Early Tender Payment). Holders who validly tender Notes after the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Time, will be eligible to receive only the tender offer consideration of U.S.$1,011.25 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes (the "Tender Offer Consideration"), which is equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Tender Payment. In addition, Holders whose Notes are purchased in the Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect of their purchased Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Payment Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) or the Final Payment Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), as the case may be.
The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, the completion of the Concurrent Offering (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). The Concurrent Offering, however, is not conditioned on the consummation of the Offer. The Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of Notes being tendered. The Offer is, however, subject to satisfaction of the Financing Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) and the General Conditions (as defined in the Offer to Purchase).
Notes tendered may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00pm, New York City time, on July 19, 2016 (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Withdrawal Deadline") but not thereafter, unless required by law.
