*Disclosure of Payments by Resource Extraction Issuers* 

The payment disclosure required by this Item 2.01 is included as Exhibit 2.01 to this Form SD.

*Report on payments to governments for the year ended December 31, 2024* 

This report provides a consolidated overview of the payments to the Federal Government and Foreign Governments (each, as defined in Form SD, and together "*Governments*") made by Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. ("*Vista*") and its consolidated subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to the "*Company*," "*Vista*," "*we*," "*us*" and "*our*" refer to Vista and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to "*dollars*," "*U.S. dollars*," "*U.S. dollar*" or "*US$*" are to United States dollars.

All payments are reported in U.S. dollars, which is the presentation currency of our consolidated financial statements. Payments that were made in currencies other than in U.S. dollars have been converted to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate applicable on the date of payment.

*Our Business Segments* 

As of December 31, 2024, we considered as a single segment the exploration and production of crude oil, natural gas and LPG (including exploration and production commercial activities), through our own activities, subsidiaries and interests in joint operations and based on the nature of the business, customer portfolio and risks involved. We therefore have only one business segment.

*Our Projects* 

This report discloses the payments made by us to Governments for the commercial development of oil, natural gas, or LPG, and which involves the exploration, development and extraction of crude oil, natural gas and LPG.

We organize our operations into blocks, which are areas defined by concession contracts or operating contracts signed by Vista. As of December 31, 2024, we had working interests in the following oil and gas blocks in Argentina: (a) 100% working interest in the exploitation concessions Bajada del Palo Oeste, Bajada del Palo Este, Aguada Federal and Bandurria Norte, all located in the Province of Neuquén (in all cases, as operator), (b) 90% working interest in the unconventional exploitation concession Águila Mora, located in the Province of Neuquén (as operator), (c) 84.62% working interest in the exploitation concession Coirón Amargo Norte, located in the Province of Neuquén (as operator), and (d) 1.50% non-operating working interest in the exploitation concession Acambuco, located in the Province of Salta, operated by Pan American Energy LLC (Argentine Branch).

Additionally, as a result of a transaction between our subsidiary Vista Energy Argentina S.A.U. ("*Vista Argentina*") and Petrolera Aconcagua Energía S.A. ("*Aconcagua*"), effective March 1, 2023, we transferred to Aconcagua the following exploitation concessions in Argentina (the "*Transferred Conventional Assets*"): Entre Lomas Neuquén, located in the Province of Neuquén, and Entre Lomas Río Negro, Jarilla Quemada, Charco del Palenque, Jagüel de los Machos and 25 de Mayo–Medanito, located in the Province of Río Negro. Under the agreement between Vista Argentina and Aconcagua ("*Conventional Assets Transaction Agreement*"), beginning March 1, 2023, Aconcagua paid 100% of the capex, opex, royalties, taxes, and

------

any other costs associated with the Transferred Conventional Assets, while Vista Argentina retained a portion of the total production of the Transferred Conventional Assets. See "*Item 4—Information on the Company—Business Overview— Transaction to Increase Focus on Shale Oil Operations in Vaca Muerta*" in our Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed on April 9, 2025.

In Mexico, as of December 31, 2024, we held a 100% working interest in the license agreement entered into with the *Comision Nacional de Hidrocarburos* for block CS-01, located in Tabasco (as operator).

On April 15, 2025, Vista Argentina acquired 100% of the capital stock of Petronas E&P Argentina S.A., which held a 50% non-operating working interest in the unconventional exploitation concession La Amarga Chica.
