DOW JONES NEWSWIRES A former chief executive of YPF SA (YPF), Sebastian Eskenazi, told Antonio Brufau, chairman at parent company Repsol YPF SA (REP.MC), that he won't immediately seek to enforce a buyback option on YPF, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday on its website, citing two people familiar with a meeting between the two men last week in Madrid. The Eskenazi family, holders of a 25% stake in YPF, is instead looking at other options for that stake after the Argentine government seized control of the unit last week, a person told Bloomberg. Repsol, in 2008, agreed to buy back the stake should Repsol lose control of YPF. The family is awaiting a decision by the Argentine congress as to whether to approve a bill to nationalize a 51% stake in YPF.
