Published on Jul 13, 2023

Bruchou & Funes de Rioja advised Oleoductos del Valle S.A in the successful issuance of the Class 3 Notes for an amount of US$60,000,000 (Dollars sixty million) with a fixed rate of 0.00%, maturing on July 10, 2027 (the "Class 3 Notes" or the "Notes”, indistinctly).

The placement agents were Macro Securities S.A.U. as arranger and placement agent (the “Arranger”), Banco Santander Argentina S.A., Banco de Galicia y Buenos Aires S.A.U., Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Argentina) S.A.U., Balanz Capital Valores S.A.U., Allaria S.A., Banco Patagonia S.A., Max Capital S.A., Puente Hnos. S.A., Banco Comafi S.A., TPCG Valores S.A.U. and Invertir en Bolsa S.A.

The proceeds from the placement will be used mostly to partially finance infrastructure works, mainly related to the Duplicar Project, which consists of a project to expand Oldelval's transportation capacity that includes: (i) the laying of approximately 525 km of pipelines along Rio Negro, La Pampa and Buenos Aires; (ii) the repowering of pumping stations; and (iii) the replacement of the section in the Bahía Blanca area. This will allow, once the work is completed, to increase the country's oil exports between approximately 180,000 and 250,000 barrels/day.
