DE C.V., Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Múltiple, Entidad No Regulada (the “Company”) announced today that it has commenced an offer to purchase (the “Tender Offer”) any and all of its outstanding 6.250% Senior Notes due 2019 (CUSIP/ISIN No. 90470V AA1 / P94880 AA2 and US90470VAA17 / USP94880AA25) (the “Notes”) and a solicitation of consents (the “Consents”) to amend the indenture relating to the Notes (the “Consent Solicitation”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer Documents (as defined below).

The Tender Offer

The Tender Offer will expire at midnight, New York City Time, on October 5, 2016, (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). Holders who validly tender Notes at or prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City Time, on September 21, 2016 (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Early Tender Deadline”), unless the Tender Offer is earlier terminated or withdrawn by the Company, will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration (as described below). Holders who validly tender Notes after the Early Tender Deadline, but at or prior to the Expiration Time, unless the Tender Offer is earlier terminated or withdrawn by the Company, will be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration (as described below). Notes tendered may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City Time, on September 21, 2016 (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Withdrawal Deadline”) but not thereafter.

Holders of Notes who validly tender Notes in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, and whose tender and delivery of Consents are accepted by the Company, will receive, in addition to accrued and unpaid interest, for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered, an amount in cash in U.S. dollars equal to:

• in the case of Notes tendered and related Consents delivered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline, an amount equal to US$1,050.00 (the “Total Consideration”), consisting of (i) an amount equal to US$1,020.00 (the “Tender Offer Consideration”), plus (ii) an amount equal to US$30.00 (the “Early Tender Payment”) and
• in the case of Notes tendered and related Consents delivered after the Early Tender Deadline, but at or prior to the Expiration Time, the Tender Offer Consideration.

The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are set forth in an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated the date hereof (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Statement”), and in the related Letter of Transmittal and consent (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal” and collectively with the Statement, the “Offer Documents”). The Company may amend, extend, terminate or withdraw the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.

The Company’s obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, which are more fully described in the Statement, including, among others, the Company’s receipt of aggregate net proceeds to fund the total consideration plus accrued and unpaid interest in respect of all Notes (regardless of the actual amount of Notes tendered) and estimated fees and expenses relating to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation from a concurrent offering of senior notes exempt from registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on terms satisfactory to the Company (the “Financing Transaction”).

The Consent Solicitation

Under the Consent Solicitation, the Company is soliciting Consents to certain proposed amendments to the indenture under which the Notes were issued. The proposed amendments would eliminate the Company’s obligation to comply with substantially all of the covenants contained in such indenture, remove certain events of default and shorten the minimum notice period to holders required for a redemption from thirty days to six business days prior to the redemption date, with an additional minimum notice of three business days to the Trustee (the “Proposed Amendments”).

Holders who desire to tender their Notes must deliver Consents to the Proposed Amendments and holders may not deliver Consents without tendering the related Notes.

Adoption of the Proposed Amendments is conditioned, among other things, on the valid delivery to the tender agent appointed by the Company (named below) of the Consents of holders representing at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes on or prior to the Expiration Time held by persons other than the Company and its affiliates.

Settlement

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation being satisfied or waived and to the Company’s right to amend, extend, terminate or withdraw the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, the Company expects that payment for all Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted by the Company will be made on the business day the Company selects promptly following the Early Tender Deadline, or the business day on which the Company waives the conditions to consummation of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation (the “Early Payment Date”) (but subject to change without notice) and that payment for all Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted by the Company will be made on the business day the Company selects promptly following the Expiration Time or the business day on which the Company waives the conditions to consummation of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation (the “Final Payment Date”).

The Company expects the Early Payment Date (but subject to change without notice) to be September 27, 2016.
