**Item 14. Amendment of the Corporate Bylaws: Article 6°, paragraph a).**

The Board of Directors proposes to the Shareholders' Meeting that Section 6, subsection (a) of the Company's Bylaws be amended to change the par value of the Company's shares from Ps.10.00 (ten pesos) to Ps1.00 (one peso) per share, such that for every 1 (one) share with a par value of Ps.10.00 (ten pesos) currently outstanding, 10 (ten) shares with a par value of Ps.1.00 (one peso) each will be issued, with the Company's capital stock remaining unchanged ("Split").

It is hereby reported that the proposed Split is based on the following reasons: (i) to improve the market liquidity of the Company's shares in the local market (ByMA); (ii) to facilitate accessibility for retail investors by reducing the par value per share and thereby allowing greater participation by small investors in the Company's capital; and (iii) to implement standard market practices of comparable companies at the national and international levels.

The Split will not entail any change in the Company's share capital or in the proportion of each shareholder's equity interest, but only in the number of outstanding shares and their par value per share. The Split will also not alter the economic or voting rights of shareholders.

Additionally, it is hereby reported that the Split will have no impact on the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement dated March 9, 2022 (the "Deposit Agreement") entered into between the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, acting as depositary (the "Depositary"), and the holders of ADSs issued pursuant thereto, except for an adjustment that will be necessary to the ratio of Class D shares represented by each ADS, changing from 1 (one) Class D share per ADS to 10 (ten) Class D shares per ADS. Therefore the change in ratio will not result in any change in the number of ADSs outstanding. It is hereby noted that, pursuant to Section 4.08(c) of the Deposit Agreement, the Split does not constitute a "Replacement" as defined therein, and that, pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Deposit Agreement, it will be necessary to amend the form of the Receipt attached as Annex A to the Deposit Agreement to reflect the new ratio of Class D shares per ADS resulting from the Split.

The draft amendment of the aforementioned section of the Bylaws proposed by the Board of Directors is attached hereto in the form of a comparative table with the current bylaws.
