 of Nuevo León, thus the judgment is not final.

On 29 June 2022, Santander México, within the framework of the amparo review filed by the Bank, requested the First Collegiate Court in Civil Matters of the Fourth Circuit of Nuevo León the recusal of two of the three Magistrates who rendered against Santander Mexico, which was resolved in favour of Santander Mexico. Plaintiffs requested the recusal of the third Magistrate who ruled with a dissenting vote against the recurso de amparo referred above and this was resolved in favour of Plaintiffs, and consequently the matter was referred to the Second Collegiate Court of the Fourth Circuit based in Nuevo León. The President of this Court considered that the Seventh Civil Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of Nuevo León had fulfilled the Amparo granted to Mrs. Garza, therefore the Bank presented disconformity “inconformidad”, which was sent for resolution by the Second Collegiate Court of the Fourth Circuit based in Nuevo León. However, on 22 April 2024, the Bank asked the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation to take up the matter. This has been accepted and consequently, the Supreme Court of Justice will resolve the matter. In addition, the Bank presented a recurso de reclamación for procedural defects against the non-admission of the recurso de revisión extraordinario issued by the then president of the Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación , which is pending to be resolved by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.

Santander México believes that the actions taken should prevail and reverse the decision against it. The impact of a potential unfavorable resolution for Santander México will be determined in a subsequent proceeding and will also depend on the additional actions that Santander México may take in its defense, so it is not possible to determine it at this time. At the current stage of the proceedings, the provisions recorded are considered to be sufficient to cover the risks deriving from this claim.
