A&O Shearman represents banks on Argentina’s Province of Neuquen USD500 million bond offering

The Province of Neuquen is the largest oil and gas-producing province in Argentina in terms of volume, accounting for approximately 69% and 71% of Argentine oil and gas production, respectively. 

The transaction extends A&O Shearman’s track record on Argentine capital markets matters, including advising longtime client, Argentina’s Province of Cordoba, in its USD725m notes offering and concurrent tender offer, the initial purchasers in PCR’s USD400m notes offering, Tecpetrol’s USD750m notes offering, and Arcor’s USD350m notes offering. 

The A&O Shearman team was led by New York-based capital markets partner Alejandro A. Gordano and included capital markets staff attorney Gabriela Laufer and associate Hanan Al-Malssi, as well as tax partner Lorenz Haselberger and tax associate Daniel Kachmar.
