Argentina and Repsol reached an agreement on the expropriation of 51% of YPF. The compensation package, valued at $5 billion, was approved by Repsol's board and requires further ratification. Argentina will provide Repsol with public debt titles in two packages. In case of payment default, Repsol can accelerate the debt and seek international arbitration.
