 can be no assurance that all of PEPASA’s assets will be fully insured against all risks inherent in its business and activities or that all such insurance can be made available on commercially reasonable terms. If a major
accident or event occurs that is not fully insured, it could have a material adverse effect on PEPASA’s operations and financial condition.

The acquired assets may experience an increase in operating and maintenance expenses.

PEPASA may include assets that by their nature require minor routine maintenance and major maintenance from time to time, in order to maintain
the safety and operating conditions necessary to perform its operations. The costs of such operations may vary significantly due to, among others, the existence of natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, deterioration in macroeconomic
conditions, and competition for services in the Neuquina Basin. These factors might have an impact on the costs of maintenance work necessary to maintain PEPASA’s operations in proper working conditions. Likewise, such costs may require
increases in expenses which, in turn, could imply higher financing costs.

We may be unable to comply with Payment Obligations.

The Sale and Purchase Agreement provides that the Purchasers must make deferred payments in two equal installments on the fourth
and fifth anniversary of the Completion Date. There is a risk that these payment obligations may not be met in the future, which could result in legal disputes and the need to enforce warranties or seek respective legal remedies.

Indemnity Claims Risk

Purchasers assume responsibilities related to PEPASA’s operation, regardless of when they arose. This includes environmental and labor
management responsibilities. If significant claims or certain adverse events arise, Purchasers could face unexpected and potentially high expenses and costs.

The Transaction may be subject to litigation and disputes in international courts.

The Sale and Purchase Agreement provides that disputes will be resolved by arbitration in London in accordance with the
Arbitration Rules of the International Court of Arbitration (“ICC”). This process can be costly and time-consuming, and the outcome of the arbitration may be uncertain. In addition, parties may face difficulties in enforcing arbitral
awards in certain jurisdictions.

Changes in applicable law may affect the obligations under the Transaction.

Both parties must comply with all applicable laws, including anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws. Any failure to comply with these
laws could result in significant penalties, damages to the parties and possible invalidity of the Transaction agreements, including the Sale and Purchase Agreement. In addition, any change in applicable law could adversely affect the viability of
the Transaction.
