The Withdrawal Letters must be sent by the Participant to the offices of BBVA located at Av. Paseo de la Reforma 510, 18th Floor, Col Juarez, 06600, Mexico City, Mexico addressed to the attention of Mary Carmen Espinoza Osorio and/or Francisco Marquez Granillo (telephone number +52 (55) 5621-9662 and/or +52 (55) 5621-0870 and e-mail address: rfi_equity.group@bbva.com, mary.espinosa@bbva.com and franciscojavier.marquez.grani@bbva.com). The hours for receipt of the Withdrawal Letters will be from 10:00 to 17:00 hours, New York time, during all business days of the Offer period, including the Expiration Date.
The right of withdrawal of the U.S. Offer by shareholders who accept the U.S. Offer will be without penalty or sanction. Any withdrawal of acceptance of the U.S. Offer may not be revoked and Series B Shares withdrawn will not be considered as validly tendered for purposes of the U.S. Offer; however, Series B Shares withdrawn may be tendered again at any time up to the Expiration Date, provided that the requirements set forth in the U.S. Offer to Purchase are satisfied.
All questions as to the form of documents and the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any withdrawal of Series B Shares will be determined by the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding to all parties. The Purchaser reserves the absolute right to reject any or all withdrawn tenders of Series B Shares determined by it not to be in proper form or the acceptance of withdrawals which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be unlawful. The Purchaser also reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in any withdrawal of Series B Shares of any particular holder, whether or not similar defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other holders. No withdrawal of Series B Shares will be deemed to have been validly made until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Neither the Purchaser nor any of its affiliates or assigns nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in tenders or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. Any resolution by the Purchaser to accept a withdrawal shall be final and binding, and neither the Purchaser or BBVA will be liable.
None of the Purchaser or BBVA will be liable for any act or omission by any Participant or shareholder of Company in respect of any Withdrawal Letter regarding the U.S. Offer or in respect of any Series B Shares tendered as part of the U.S. Offer as a result of any act or omission of any Participant.
The undersigned certifies and acknowledges that BBVA is acting solely in its capacity as intermediary and settlement agent of the Mexican Offer and not in any other capacity. BBVA’s participation in connection hereto, including the receipt of Withdrawal Letter and the return of Series B Shares from its Indeval account will occur solely through Indeval’s systems in Mexico.
THE RECEIPT BY BBVA OF THIS WITHDRAWAL LETTER FROM THE UNDERSIGNED INDEVAL PARTICIPANT IN MEXICO SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A FORM OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN BBVA AND HOLDERS OF SERIES B SHARES IN THE UNITED STATES AND SHALL NOT IMPLY THAT BBVA IS CARRYING OUT ANY ACTIVITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE U.S. OFFER, EITHER AS AN AGENT OF PURCHASER OR OTHERWISE.
The undersigned certifies, on behalf of the institution he/she warrants, that the information regarding his/her clients or on his/her own behalf contained in this Withdrawal Letter of the U.S. Offer is correct and complete, that he/she knows and accepts the terms of the U.S. Offer, and that he/she has the powers to present and bind him/herself in terms of this Withdrawal Letter of the U.S. Offer.
Except where indicated to the contrary, the terms used in this Withdrawal Letter shall have the same meaning as in the U.S. Offer to Purchase.

In the event of an inconsistency between the terms and procedures in this Withdrawal Letter and the U.S. Offer to Purchase, the terms and procedures in the U.S. Offer to Purchase shall govern.
Attached hereto is a copy of the power of attorney granted to the person(s) signing this Withdrawal Letter on behalf of the Participant.
