EPASA’s assets may be less than expected and may not recover the amounts invested in the acquisition.

We are not the operators of the La Amarga Chica concessions, PEPASA’s principal asset, and actions taken by the operator of such joint venture could have a material adverse effect on us.

In some of our
businesses, we conduct hydrocarbon exploration and production activities through unincorporated joint ventures. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of such agreements, generally one of the parties assumes the role of operator and, therefore,
assumes responsibility for performing all activities in accordance with the agreement. If the operator is one of our joint venturepartners, and not us, we are subject to risks related to the performance and actions taken by the operator to
carry out the activities. Such actions could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

PEPASA owns a 50% working
interest in the La Amarga Chica joint venture and is not the operator of such concession. Therefore, we are subject to risks related to the performance and actions taken by the operator to carry out the activities. Such actions could adversely
affect our financial condition and operation results.

We may not be able to successfully integrate PEPASA’s operations with our operations, and we may not be able to realize all of the anticipated benefits of such acquisition.

Although we have performed
the normal due diligence processes for these types of acquisitions, we cannot assure you that we will obtain the desired returns from the acquisition of PEPASA. Failure to successfully assimilate PEPASA’s assets could adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operations. Our acquisitions may involve numerous risks, including: (i) operating a larger combined organization; (ii) difficulties in incorporating the assets and operations of the acquired business,
especially if the acquired assets are in a new geographic area; (iii) risk that the acquired oil and natural gas reserves may not be of the anticipated magnitude or may not be developed as planned; (iv) loss of key employees in the
acquired business; (v) incapacity to obtain satisfactory title to the assets, concessions or participating interests we acquire; (vi) a decrease in our liquidity if we use a portion of our available cash to fund acquisitions; (vii) a
significant increase in our interest expense or financial leverage if we incur additional debt to fund acquisitions; (viii) failure to achieve expected profitability or growth; (ix) failure to achieve expected synergies and cost savings;
(x) coordinating organizations, systems
