 could also result in new regulation by the Argentine and/or Mexican governments to further decouple domestic energy prices from international energy prices, or
restrict energy-related exports from Argentina or Mexico, which would affect our business. In addition, changes in global oil prices and demand could cause turmoil in the global financial system and, in turn, materially affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

On the other hand, OPEC+, a group of oil-producing
countries, controls approximately one-third of the world’s supply and sets production quotas for its members to maintain control over the global supply. In previous years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, OPEC+ managed to balance declines in global crude demand, or weak increases in the same, through production cuts by the group. To date, it is estimated that OPEC+ has accumulated cuts of 2.2

prices below US$70/bbl in the days following the announcement. Additionally, President Trump’s announcement regarding import tariffs on April 2, 2025 caused a generalized decline in global markets, affecting the price of many
commoditiesincluding crude oil. A sustained drop in crude oil prices, which we cannot control, could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

negative impact on oil prices and global growth, as well as other global economic consequences, including the potential for increased volatility in energy prices, dramatically decreased liquidity and credit availability, decreased consumer
confidence, shortages of certain commodities and products, decreased economic growth, increased inflation rates and uncertainty about economic and political stability.

Although the parties have announced and made statements about a ceasefire recently, the duration, impact and development of the current
conflict is unpredictable. Such conflict has created and could lead to further market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital
