Our bylaws provide that the oversight of Pampa will be in charge of a Supervisory Committee, consisting of three regular members and three alternate members appointed by our shareholders under the legal provisions in force. The Supervisory Committee will be composed of duly registered lawyers and/or accountants admitted to practice in Argentina, who will serve for a term of three fiscal years.
The Supervisory Committee’s primary function is to exercise statutory control over the Board, complying with the provisions outlined in the Argentine Business Organizations Law No. 19,550, the Bylaws, their regulations, if any, and the Shareholders’ Meeting decisions.
