YPF Finance VP Kearney Pedro Luis Receives Share Awards

What Happened
Kearney Pedro Luis, Finance Vice‑President of YPF S.A., was granted three share awards on 2026-10-01 under YPF’s Long‑Term Incentive Share Award program (transaction code A). The awards total 69,200 award units (25,650; 21,450; and 22,100), each representing the right to receive one Class D common share (or, at the company’s discretion, one ADR) upon vesting. No purchase price or cash consideration was reported—the awards are derivative compensation grants rather than open‑market purchases or sales.

Context
These awards are compensation instruments that vest over time and do not represent an immediate purchase or sale. They are contingent on continued employment and may convert to shares (or ADRs) only upon vesting, so they are not a direct market purchase signal. Because no market transaction or option exercise occurred, there is no immediate cash value reported in the filing.
