8.500% Senior Notes due 2029
We are offering U.S.$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 8.500% senior notes due 2029 (the "notes"). The notes will mature on
June 27, 2029. Interest on the notes offered hereby will accrue from June 27, 2019 and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 27 and December
27 of each year, beginning on December 27, 2019.
On and after March 27, 2029, we may at our option, redeem the notes, in whole, or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. At any time prior to March 27, 2029, we may at our option, redeem the notes, in whole,
or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, plus the Applicable
Redemption Premium (as defined below). If we undergo a change of control, we may be required to make an offer to purchase the notes. In the event of
certain developments affecting taxation, we may redeem all, but not less than all, of the notes.
The notes offered hereby (i) will rank equally with all of the existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of YPF Sociedad
Anónima and (ii) will be effectively junior to all existing and future secured indebtedness of YPF Sociedad Anónima to the extent of the assets securing
that indebtedness.
Investing in the notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 23.

Issue Price:98.356% plus accrued interest, if any, from June 27, 2019.
The notes have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or under any state securities laws
and are being offered only: (1) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act ("Rule 144A") and (2) outside the United States
in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S"). Prospective purchasers that are qualified institutional buyers are hereby
notified that the sellers of the notes may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. For a
description of certain restrictions on transfer, see "Transfer Restrictions."
MIFID II product governance/Professional investors and ECPs only target market ­ Solely for the purposes of the manufacturer's product
approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Securities has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Securities is eligible
counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as may be amended or replaced from time to time, "MiFID II"); and
(ii) all channels for distribution of the Securities to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering,
selling or recommending the Securities (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor
subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Securities (by either adopting or refining the
manufacturer's target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS: The Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to
and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these purposes, a retail
investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of
Directive 2002/92/EC, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a
qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive (as defined below). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No
1286/2014 (as may be amended or replaced from time to time, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them
available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail
investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. Notwithstanding the above, if the Issuer subsequently prepares and publishes a key
information document under the PRIIPs Regulation in respect of the Securities, then the prohibition on the offering, sale or otherwise making available the
Securities to a retail investor as described above shall no longer apply..
The notes will constitute obligaciones negociables simples no convertibles en acciones under the Argentine Negotiable Obligations Law No.

Nacional de Valores, or "CNV") and any other applicable law and/or regulation, and will be entitled to the benefits set forth therein and subject to the
procedural requirements established therein and in Law No. 26,831 and the applicable resolutions of the CNV.
The notes will be offered in Argentina by means of an Argentine pricing supplement in the Spanish language, in accordance with CNV Rules
containing substantially the same information as this offering memorandum, other than with respect to the description of U.S. securities and tax laws that
are relevant to the notes, but in a different format, under the Frequent Issuer Regime No. 4 approved by the CNV through the RESFC-2018-19961-APN-
DIR#CNV dated December 28, 2018, and Disposition from the CNV DI-2019-30-APN-GE#CNV dated April 19, 2019, in an aggregate principal amount

iv



ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS
We are incorporated under the laws of Argentina. Substantially all of our assets are located outside the
United States. The majority of our directors and officers and certain advisors named herein reside in Argentina or
elsewhere outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process
within the United States upon us or such persons or to enforce against us or them in United States courts judgments
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.
We have been advised by our Argentine counsel, Estudio O'Farrell, that a substantial portion of our assets
located in Argentina could not be subject to attachment or foreclosure if a court were to find that such properties are
necessary to the provision of an essential public service, unless the Argentine government otherwise approves the
release of such property affected as an essential public service. In accordance with Argentine law, as interpreted by
the Argentine courts, assets which are necessary to the provision of an essential public service may not be attached,
whether preliminarily or in aid of execution.
Our Argentine counsel has also advised us that judgments of United States courts for civil liabilities based
upon the federal securities laws of the United States may be enforced in Argentina, provided that the requirements of
Article 517 of the Federal Civil and Commercial Procedure Code of Argentina (if enforcement is sought before
federal courts) are met as follows: (i) the judgment, which must be final in the jurisdiction where rendered, was
issued by a court competent in accordance with the Argentine principles regarding international jurisdiction and
resulted from a personal action, or an in rem action with respect to personal property if such was transferred to
Argentine territory during or after the prosecution of the foreign action, (ii) the defendant against whom enforcement
of the judgment is sought was personally served with the summons and, in accordance with due process of law, was
given an opportunity to defend against foreign action, (iii) the judgment must be valid in the jurisdiction where
rendered and meet authenticity requirements under Argentine law, (iv) the judgment does not violate the principles
of public policy of Argentine law, and (v) the judgment is not contrary to a prior or simultaneous judgment of an
Argentine court.
Subject to compliance with Article 517 of the Federal Civil and Commercial Procedure Code described
above, a judgment against us or the persons described above obtained outside Argentina would be enforceable in
Argentina without reconsideration of the merits.
We have been further advised by our Argentine counsel that:
·
original actions based on the federal securities laws of the United States may be brought in
Argentine courts and that, subject to applicable law, Argentine courts may enforce liabilities in
such actions against us, our directors, our executive officers and the advisors named in this
offering memorandum; and
·
the ability of a judgment creditor or the other persons named above to satisfy a judgment by
attaching certain assets of ours is limited by provisions of Argentine law.
A plaintiff (whether Argentine or non-Argentine) residing outside Argentina during the course of litigation
in Argentina must provide a bond to guarantee court costs and legal fees if the plaintiff owns no real property in
Argentina that could secure such payment. The bond must have a value sufficient to satisfy the payment of court
fees and defendant's attorney fees, as determined by the Argentine judge. This requirement does not apply to the
enforcement of foreign judgments.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This offering memorandum, including any documents incorporated by reference, contains statements that
we believe constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These forward-looking statements may include statements regarding the intent, belief or current
expectations of us and our management, including statements with respect to trends affecting our financial
condition, financial ratios, results of operations, business, strategy, geographic concentration, reserves, future
hydrocarbon production volumes and the Company's ability to satisfy its long-term sales commitments from future
supplies available to the Company, dates or periods in which production is scheduled or expected to come onstream,
as well as our plans with respect to capital expenditures, business strategy, geographic concentration, cost savings,
investments and dividends payout policies. These statements are not a guarantee of future performance and are
subject to material risks, uncertainties, changes and other factors which may be beyond our control or may be
difficult to predict. Accordingly, our future financial condition, prices, financial ratios, results of operations,
business, strategy, geographic concentration, production volumes, reserves, capital expenditures, cost savings,
investments and dividend policies could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any such forward-
looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, currency fluctuations, the price of petroleum
products, the ability to realize cost reductions and operating efficiencies without unduly disrupting business
operations, replacement of hydrocarbon reserves, environmental, regulatory and legal considerations and general
economic and business conditions in Argentina, as well as those factors, those described in "Item 3. Key
Information--Risk Factors" and "Item 5 of our 2018 20-F. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" in our
2018 20-F. We do not, and the initial purchasers do not, undertake to publicly update or revise these forward-
looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that the projected results or condition
expressed or implied therein will not be realized.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
All references to "U.S. dollars," "dollars," "U.S.$" or "$" are to the U.S. dollar.
General
The Company prepares its financial books and records and publishes its financial statements in Argentine
pesos. Unless otherwise specified, references to "$," "U.S.$" and "dollars" are to U.S. dollars, and references to
"Ps.", "pesos" are to Argentine pesos. Solely for the convenience of the reader, peso amounts set forth in this
document have been translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates specified herein. The exchange rate published
by the Argentine Central Bank (Banco Central de la República Argentina) ("BCRA" or the "Central Bank") on June
18, 2019 was Ps. 43.66 to U.S.$1.00. The U.S. dollar equivalent information should not be construed to imply that
the peso amounts represent, or could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at such rates or any other
rate. See "Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018--Item 3. Key Information--
Exchange Rates" of our 2018 20-F for additional information.
Our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 furnished to the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 4, 2019 (the "2018 20-F") includes our audited consolidated statement
of financial position as of December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, audited consolidated statements of comprehensive
income for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, YPF's audited consolidated statements of cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, audited consolidated statements of changes in
shareholders' equity for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, and notes 1 to 34 (the "Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements"). Our Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on May 17, 2019 (the "Q1 2019 6-K"),
which attached our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (the "Unaudited Condensed
Interim Consolidated Financial Statements"). Both such documents are incorporated by reference in this offering
memorandum.
Our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and our Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated
Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
Additionally, on March 20, 2009, the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils in Economic Sciences
("FACPCE") approved the Technical Resolution No. 26 "Adoption of the International Financial Reporting
Standards ("IFRS")" as issued by the IASB, subsequently modified by Technical Resolution No. 29 dated
December 3, 2010. Such resolution was approved by the CNV through General Resolution No. 562/09 dated
December 29, 2009 (modified by General Resolution No. 576/10 dated July 1, 2010), for certain publicly-traded
entities under Law No. 26,831. Compliance with such rules was mandatory for the Company for the fiscal year
which began on January 1, 2012, with a transition date of January 1, 2011.
Market Share and Other Information
Market data and certain industry forecast data used in this offering memorandum or incorporated by
reference herein were obtained from internal reports and studies, where appropriate, as well as estimates, market
research, publicly available information (including information available from the SEC, website) and industry
publications. Industry publications generally state that the information they include has been obtained from sources
believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. Similarly,
internal reports and studies, estimates and market research, which we believe to be reliable and accurately extracted
by us for use in this offering memorandum, in our 2018 20-F and our Q1 2019 6-K, each of which is incorporated by
reference herein, have not been independently verified. However, we believe such data is accurate and agree that we
are responsible for the accurate extraction of such information from such sources and its correct reproduction in this
offering memorandum, or in our 2018 20-F or our Q1 2019 6-K, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

Rounding
Certain amounts which appear in this offering memorandum (including percentage amounts) have been
subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown for the same category presented in different tables may
vary slightly and figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be the arithmetic aggregation of the figures that
precede them.
Anti-Money Laundering Regulations
Modifications to Argentine money laundering regulations have resulted in their application to increasing
numbers and types of securities transactions.

The notion of money laundering is generally used to refer to transactions aimed at introducing funds derived
from unlawful activities into the institutionalized system and therefore, transforming profits obtained from unlawful
activities into assets having a presumed lawful origin.

Law No. 25,246 (as subsequently amended by Law No. 26,087, Law No. 26,119, Law No. 26,268 and Law No
26,683), Law No. 26,374 and Law No. 27,446) provides for an administrative criminal system and replaces several
sections of the Argentine Criminal Code, incorporating, among other matters, the definition of money laundering as
a type of crime committed whenever a person converts, transfers, manages, sells, charges, conceals or otherwise
markets any asset derived from a criminal offense, with the possible consequence that the original assets or
substitutes thereof appear to come from a lawful source, provided that the total value of the asset exceeds Ps.
300,000 regardless of whether such amount results from one act or a series of related acts. Law No. 26,683 considers
money laundering to be an autonomous crime against the economic and financial order, separate from the crime of
concealment, which is an offense against the public administration, which allows for sanctions for the autonomous
crime of money laundering regardless of participation in the crime that originated the funds subject to such money
laundering. With the enactment of Law No. 27,260 and Decree No. 895/2016, the Financial Information Unit
(Unidad de Información Financiera or "UIF") was moved under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance and

According to Article 303 of the Argentine Criminal Code, money laundering (as defined above) shall be
punished with three to ten years of imprisonment and a fine of two to ten times the amount of the transactions made.
The penalty prescribed above shall be increased by one third of the maximum and one half of the minimum if: (a)
the wrongdoer carries out the act on a regular basis or as a member of an association or gang organized with the
purpose of continuously committing acts of a similar nature; or (b) if the primary wrongdoer is a public officer who
committed the infringement in the exercise of his/her duties (in such a case, the wrongdoer shall also be punished by
special disqualification for three to ten years, and the same penalty shall apply to a wrongdoer who commits the
offense in the service of a profession or trade requiring special qualification). The individual who receives money or
other assets derived from a criminal offense with the purpose of applying them to a money laundering transaction
shall be punished with imprisonment from six months to three years. If the value of the assets is not over Ps.
300,000, the wrongdoer will be punished with imprisonment from six months to three years. The provisions in this
section shall apply even when the criminal offense is committed outside the geographical jurisdiction of the
Argentine Criminal Code, so long as the crime is also penalized in the jurisdiction where it was committed.

Article 277 of the Argentine Criminal Code sets forth that an imprisonment of between six months and three
years shall be applied (with varying minimum terms attaching depending on the particular circumstances) to any
person who helps a perpetrator avoid or be removed from prosecution, obscures or destroys evidence of a crime,
acquires, receives, hides or alters money or other proceeds from a crime, does not report the commission of the
crime or does not identify the perpetrator or participant in a crime with knowledge that such person would have been
obliged to assist in the criminal prosecution of such crime and/or aids or abets the perpetrator or participant in
making safe the proceeds of the crime. The minimum and maximum terms of punishment shall be doubled when: (a)
the offense implies a particularly serious crime (for which minimum penalty is higher than three years of
imprisonment); (b) the abettor acts for profit; (c) the abettor habitually commits concealment acts; or (d) the abettor
is a public official.
