Mexico City, December 23, 2016 – Grupo Financiero Santander México, S.A.B. de C.V.

The AT1 Notes were sold for 100.000% of their principal amount and each AT1 Note is mandatorily convertible, in certain regulatory circumstances, into ordinary shares of the Company at the higher of the volume weighted average of the ordinary shares closing price on the Mexican Stock Exchange for the thirty (30) consecutive business days immediately preceding the conversion date (with each closing price for the thirty (30) consecutive business days being converted from Mexican pesos into U.S. dollars at the then-prevailing exchange rate) and a floor price of Ps.20.30 (converted into U.S. dollars at the then-prevailing exchange rate). Banco Santander, S.A. (Spain) has agreed to purchase approximately 88% of the aggregate amount of the AT1 Notes.
The offering of the AT1 Notes was registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Company expects that the AT1 Notes will be registered in the Mexican National Securities Registry (Registro Nacional de Valores) of the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores).

The offering is being made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement filed with the SEC on December 21, 2016. The offering of the AT1 Notes may be made only by means of a prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, copies of which, when available may be obtained by contacting Santander Investment Securities Inc. at 45 East 53rd Street, New York, New York 10022 (tel: +1-855-403-3636), to Goldman, Sachs & Co. at 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282 (tel: +1-866-471-2526), or to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC at 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036 (tel: +1-866-718-1649).
