ITEM 12.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
American Depositary Shares 
 The Bank of New York Mellon is the depositary of the ADS program. Each ADS represents one series A share (or a right to receive one series A share) deposited with Banco S3 Caceis México, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, as custodian for the depositary in Mexico. The depositary’s office at which the ADSs will be administered, and its principal executive office are located at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286. 
 ADS holders may be unable to exercise voting rights with respect to the shares underlying the ADSs at our shareholders’ meetings, and preemptive rights may be unavailable to non-Mexican holders of ADSs. Mexican law governs shareholder rights. The depositary will be the holder of the series A shares underlying the ADSs. Registered holders of ADSs, have ADS holder rights. A deposit agreement among us, the depositary, ADS holders, and all other persons indirectly holding or beneficially owning ADSs sets out ADS holder rights as well as the rights and obligations of the depositary. New York law governs the deposit agreement and the ADSs. To exercise any shareholder rights directly, ADSs holders need to surrender their ADSs to become a direct shareholder.
