In addition, Purchaser is making a concurrent all cash tender offer directed to holders of Series B Shares, but not holders of ADSs (the “Mexican Offer”). Non-U.S. holders will not be permitted to tender their Series B Shares in the U.S. Offer. ADSs (whether or not held by U.S. holders) may only be tendered in the U.S. Offer. The price offered for Series B Shares in the Mexican Offer is the same on a per Series B Share basis as the U.S. Offer Price, payable in Mexican pesos under the terms described in the offering documents relating to the Mexican Offer.
