MEXICO CITY, Oct. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Grupo Aeroméxico, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Aeroméxico” or the “Company”) (BMV: AEROMEX) informs, following the relevant events dated June 10, June 28 and July 11, 2022, that pursuant to Article 108, Section I, paragraph (b), of the Securities Exchange Law (Ley del Mercado de Valores), the National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores) granted today authorization to launch a cash tender offer for up to 11,535,328 registered shares, subscribed and paid, Series Unica, representing the current capital stock of Aeroméxico (the “Shares”), in order to carry out the delisting of all of its shares before the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V. (Mexican Securities Exchange) (the “Offering”), and, in due course, the subsequent cancellation of the registration of the shares representing its capital stock before the National Securities Registry (Registro Nacional de Valores), as resolved by the General Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting of the Company held on June 27, 2022 (the “Meeting”). In this regard, Aeroméxico has disclosed and informed to its investors the corresponding notice of commencement of the Tender Offer period, which will be opened from October 11 to November 8, 2022.
As previously disclosed by the Company, the Offering, as well as the subsequent cancellation of registration before the National Securities Registry of the Company’s shares, is being carried out in compliance with the contractual obligations assumed by Aeroméxico with its former creditors, now shareholders of the Company, during its orderly restructuring process under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States of America (the “Restructuring Proceeding”), as well as with the authorization and resolutions adopted by the Meeting.
The Company offers to acquire only the Shares, this is, up to 11,535,328 registered shares, since several shareholders of the Company contractually agreed with the Company not to participate in the Offering, and, thus, for the sole purpose of their participation in the Offering, these shareholders are considered as a controlling group, considering that they previously agreed not to participate in the Offering. Therefore, the Shares subject to the Offering (i) are not owned by the shareholders that maintain control over the Company, nor (ii) are owned by the shareholders that are party under certain Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and the majority of its shareholders in compliance with the obligations assumed by the Company under such Agreement, which is part of the Joint Plan of Reorganization approved by the Bankruptcy Court of the United States of America under the Restructuring Proceeding.
