Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes
- Ownership Transaction: PCT LLC acquired 100% of the capital stock and votes of WST S.A. in PEPCA S.A. PEPCA holds 10% of Compañía de Inversiones en Energía S.A. (CIESA), which is the controlling company of TGS (holding 51% of TGS).
- Control Structure: The transaction does not modify the direct or indirect control of CIESA or TGS. CIESA remains jointly controlled in equal parts (50% each) by Pampa Energía S.A. and the combined group of Grupo Inversor Petroquímica S.L. (GIP) and PCT.
- Auditor Resignations: Mr. Gustavo Herman Isaack (Regular Statutory Auditor) and Mr. Francisco José Cárrega (Alternate Statutory Auditor) resigned effective upon the appointment of their replacements.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no financial guidance, outlook, or management commentary regarding future performance. The primary risk disclosed is the administrative transition of the Statutory Auditing Committee, which has accepted the resignations pending the appointment of new members.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Confirm the appointment dates for the new Regular and Alternate Statutory Auditors to ensure no gap in oversight.
- Verify the updated shareholding percentages of PCT and GIP within PEPCA and CIESA to confirm the 50/50 control split remains intact.
- Review subsequent filings for any financial impact or strategic changes resulting from the PCT acquisition of WST S.A.
