Public Offering for Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP).-In June, 2011, GMéxico announced its intention to acquire over 30% of the capital stock of GAP. As required by law, GMéxico submitted its application for approval by the CNBV of a tender offer (oferta pública de adquisición or “OPA”) for up to 100% of the shares of GAP. GMéxico has not received CNBV approval.
The controlling shareholders, who hold 15% of the capital stock of GAP, have filed judicial requests to prevent administrative acts (demandas de amparo). These claims impede compliance with the applicable OPA regulations and seek to validate the bylaws of GAP that restrict the acquisition and voting of capital stock of GAP in excess of 10%, all to the detriment of the minority shareholders.
In the event we receive CNBV approval, GMéxico would make the tender offer for up to $50 pesos per share, or a lower value, depending on market conditions and the financial and operating results of GAP. If the CNBV does not autorize the OPA, GMéxico may consider selling all of its interest.
