for proposed amendments (the "Proposed Amendments") to certain provisions of the indentures governing the Notes (the "Indentures"), and also commenced tender offers to purchase for cash (the "Tender Offers" and each a "Tender Offer") any and all of the outstanding Notes.

The Company also announced that Repsol, S.A., a sociedad anónima organized in Spain (the "Guarantor"), has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each series of Notes, when and as the same shall become due and payable (the "Guarantees"). The Guarantees will remain effective regardless of the outcome of the Consent Solicitations and the Tender Offers.

Holders have the option to either:

(1) deliver consents at or prior to the Consent/Early Tender Deadline (as defined below) without tendering the related Notes; or

(2) tender Notes and thereby deliver the related consents at or prior to the Expiration Time (as defined below), provided that holders must tender at or prior to the Consent/Early Tender Deadline (as defined below) to be eligible to receive the Total Consideration (as defined below).

Holders may validly deliver consents without also tendering Notes.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Consent Solicitations, holders delivering consents without tendering the related Notes will receive the Consent Only Payment of U.S.$2.50 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes (the "Consent Only Payment") on the initial settlement date, which is expected to be June 27, 2017 (the "Initial Settlement Date"), provided that such holders validly deliver consents (without also tendering the related Notes) at or prior to the consent/early tender deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 22, 2017, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law (such time and date, as the same may be extended or earlier terminated with respect to each series of Notes, the "Consent/Early Tender Deadline").

The Proposed Amendments would amend the reporting covenant and eliminate the merger covenant in the Indentures, as well as make certain other related changes. The purpose of the Consent Solicitations is to effect the Proposed Amendments to reduce administrative complexity and provide operational and financial flexibility for the Company and its affiliates.

Adoption of the Proposed Amendments requires the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of each series of Notes then outstanding affected thereby (or in the case of the Proposed Amendments with respect to the 2027 Debentures, holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of the 2027 Debentures then outstanding).

Holders of Notes who validly deliver consents at or prior to the Consent/Early Tender Deadline, without also tendering the related Notes, and do not validly revoke their consents at or prior to the revocation/withdrawal deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 22, 2017, unless extended with respect to a series of Notes by the Company in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law (the "Revocation/Withdrawal Time"), will be eligible to receive the Consent Only Payment in respect of their Notes.
