Coppel S.A. de C.V. Coppel is a retail chain based in Culiacan, in the Mexican state of Sinaloa.  The Company has a strong presence in Mexico, as it currently operates 132 stores, located in 22 Mexican states.  Coppel currently offers a wide variety of products including electrical equipment, electronics, furniture, and apparel.  Its target customers are the low to middle income segment of the population.      As a second-tier retail chain, Coppel needs to formalize its business and improve its corporate governance in order to foster the credibility needed to become a successful national chain.  IFC can provide added value to the Company by:  (i) providing advice on how to formalize and enhance its existing credit program; (ii) introducing international industry best practices to further improve its operations; (iii) providing the necessary long-term financing for its investment program; and by (iv) helping to set up social and environmental policies that comply with World Bank Group standards.    The project is expected to:  (i) improve the living standards of the lower social segments of Mexico by extending the Company''s credit program to cover other parts of the country; (ii) create new job opportunities; and (iii) bring about training opportunities in retailing to new employees, particularly those in less developed states.
WCAP A Loan Leasing Operations de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (WCAP or the Company) was founded in 1998 in response to the growing demand for specialized financing in the environmental sector.  Since inception, WCAP business model has been focused on originating, funding, and distributing lease receivables of equipment.  WCAP is largely dedicated to provide operational lease of equipments used for water treatment and efficient water use (Water Efficiency or WE), as well as Energy Efficiency (EE) projects, thus supporting private sector investments aligned with sustainability and climate change.  WCAP's vision is to finance worldwide development of sustainable industrial, commercial and residential projects that have a minimum ecological footprint. The Company aims to carry out its mission and vision in North, Central, and South America, as well as in Europe and Asia.  The Company was recognized as the runner up for the 2009 FT Sustainable Banking Awards, which is co-sponsored by IFC. Increase access to financial services:  IFCs investment will help WCAP to broaden its reach in extending leases to other SMEs and Corporates; 
Commitment to Sustainability/Energy Efficiency:  WCAP would be able to support the growing number of initiatives involving EE/WE with industrial application taking place in Mexico, which may including the use of alternative energy sources; 
Market development:  WCAPs sales/securitization plans will help to develop the Mexican market; and
Demonstration Effect:  WCAPs business model focused in the water treatment industry and equipments related to energy efficiency initiatives is unique in Mexico, where access to operational lease for these types of capital goods is rather limited. WCAP has developed a profitable model on this basis, which could be replicated by other FIs in both Mexico and other countries.
Progresemos III Progresemos III (the Project) will extend a Mexican peso (MXN) line of credit to support the microfinance loan portfolio growth and an equity investment in Financiamiento Progresemos, S.A. de C.V., SOFOM, ENR (Progresemos or the Company).  The Project will reach women micro-entrepreneurs in frontier regions and will (i) enhance micro lending competitiveness of the private sector; (ii) help deepening the financial sector since a high portion of the sub-borrowers served are outside the formal financial sector; and (iii) encourage a sustainable social and environmental development. The development impact of IFC''s financing to Progresemos is expected to be high:   (i)	Increase Access to Finance:  Progresemos provides financial services to low income segments of the Mexican population living in rural areas with limited or null credit opportunities.  Moreover it will contribute to build up a credit culture amongst this low-income population; and   (ii)	Greater Commitment to Creating Opportunities to Disadvantage Groups:  This project will support productive low-income micro entrepreneurs which consequently will positively impact employment and income generation in the frontier regions where Progresemos operates.
Manzanillo Container Terminal TMM Purtos y Terminales, S.A. de C.V. (TMM PyT or the company), is a Mexican company, which operates the Manzanillo, Veracruz, Cozumel, and Progreso terminals in Mexico under concession contracts.  The company is currently ultimately wholly-owned by Carrix, Inc., a US-based port and terminal operator.  In May 2003, Carrix, through its Mexican subsidiary, SSA Mexico Holdings, S.A. de C.V. (the Borrower), acquired 51% of the outstanding shares of TMM PyT.  Combined with the remaining 49% of TMM PyT already owned by Carrix through a subsidiary, TMM PyT became a 100% owned subsidiary of Carrix.  IFC will provide up to $45 million in financing to the Borrower as part of a medium term facility that includes commercial bank co-financing under a Citibank syndicated loan (the Citibank Financing).  The financing will support the acquisition of 51% of TMM PyT by Carrix.    Manzanillo is one of the largest container ports in Mexico and is currently the only facility on the Pacific Coast of Mexico able to service the largest transpacific services.  TMM PyT began operating a single berth container terminal at the Port of Manzanillo in 1995 after winning a 20-year concession through a competitive bidding process.  It also provides stevedoring services for general cargo at the public terminal of San Pedrito within the Port of Manzanillo.  Since 1995, TMM PyT has significantly improved the ports productivity and helped increase Manzanillos share of Mexicos Pacific Coast container traffic from 51.4% in 1995 to over 90.6% in 2002. TMM PyT currently accounts for approximately 69% of containerized cargo moved in Manzanillo (the remaining cargo is primarily moved by the public terminal) and approximately 62% of total container traffic handled at Mexicos Pacific ports. The Veracruz port is located on the Gulf of Mexico and historically served as an entry point for Mexicos trade with European and Caribbean nations. In 1991, TMM PyT, through a competitive bidding process, won a 23-year concession to provide stevedoring and marine terminal services at Veracruz.      TMM PyT primarily handles automobiles for Volkswagen, which uses Veracruz to export production from its plant in Puebla, Mexico. TMM PyT also services other car manufacturers such as Ford, General Motors, Peugeot, BMW, Chrysler, Renault and Nissan.  Finally, TMM PyT operates two cruise line terminals at Cozumel (a small island off Cancun, Mexico) and Progreso (located near Merida, Mexico) after winning 20-year concessions (also through competitive bidding) in 1996 and 2000, respectively.  Cozumel is a popular destination for seven day cruises originating in the US while Progreso is a new Cruise ship destination and is currently being marketed to cruise lines in the US.
MicroCred Mexico MicroCred Mexico (the company) is a greenfield microfinance institution (MFI), which was created in January 2006.  The company will propose a range of products from micro-loans for micro-enterprises to loans for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).  It will target local urban entrepreneurs with limited access to formal financial services in Mexico.  The company will initially focus its activities on the state of Veracruz.   MicroCred Mexico will be managed by local and international staff with prior experience in micro and small business lending.  It will also be supported by technical assistance from PlaNet Finance Mexico. The developmental impact of MicroCred Mexico is expected to be far reaching in terms of its economic support for productive micro-entrepreneurs, small businesses and SMEs, employment generation and providing access to finance to an underserved segment of the market.
Loan CS MEXCO II The proposed IFC project (the Project) entails a senior term loan of up to MXN 1,912 million (approximately US$101 million) to be extended to the irrevocable trust agreement number F/179122, which is publicly traded on the Mexican stock market under the symbol CS2CK (the Trust or the Fund or CS Mexico II). The Trust is a debt and equity investment fund managed by Banco Credit Suisse (Mexico), S.A. The most significant, expected project-level outcome is an increase in access to financial services for underserved mid-cap companies in Mexico. Beyond the Project, IFC anticipates that the investment will promote greater market integration via demonstration and replication channels.
Grupo Xcaret Grupo Xcaret S.A.P.I. de C.V. (Xcaret or the Group) is a group of companies focused on tourism in the Rivera Maya (Mexico). Founded in 1985, its first eco-archaeological park opened in 1990 and since then, the Group has steadily grown to become the largest tourism group in this area of Mexico with several parks, guided tours, and hospitality. In December 2017, the Group opened its first hotel (Hotel Xcaret Mexico) with 900 rooms, reaching high occupancy rates in its first year of operations.      The tourism sector is one of the most seriously impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as countries placed travel bans and lockdown periods to contain the spread of the virus. In Mexico, the state of Quintana Roo, home of Cancun and the Riviera Maya, is the most affected region due to the importance of tourism. From March to May 2020, all hotels and parks were closed, which has significantly impacted Xcaret Groups liquidity.      The Group is looking for US$100mn financing to mitigate the financial impact from the COVID-19 crisis (the Project). Grupo Xcaret has been a prominent tourism operator in Cancun/Riviera Maya. IFC's financing will provide the needed additional liquidity to ensure that Xcaret can sustain the ongoing situation, support the reopening of parks and complete the construction of Hotel Xcaret Arte. IFC's financing will help to (i) preserve thousands of jobs and support future recruitment; (ii) finance the additional expenses needed for reopening; and (iii) maintain Xcaret's significant local value-chain.
Cemex Green IFC is considering an A loan of up to U.S.$120 million with an additional blended finance tranche of up to U.S.$50 million, to support CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.s (CEMEX or the Company) sustainable investment program in emerging markets. CEMEX is a global building materials company that operates in more than 50 countries throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. As of December 31, 2015, CEMEX had 43,117 employees, 56 cement plants and an additional 12 cement plants in which CEMEX has a minority participation, 1,608 ready-mix-concrete facilities, 305 aggregate quarries, 242 distribution centers and 61 marine terminals, as well as 2 research and development centers.  IFC financing will support projects to enhance improvements in environmental performance at CEMEXs operations, with more than two thirds of the funds allocated to projects aimed at the Companys greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. The remaining one third of the funds will cover overall air emission control improvements. Environmental impact: The investment will help CEMEX achieve its 2020 Sustainability Environmental Target to "Enable a Low Carbon and Resource-Efficient Industry" by supporting (i) high energy efficiency projects, (ii) research to reduce CO2 footprint and further improve energy efficiency, and (iii) the control and reduction of particulate matter released to the atmosphere.   Climate Change: CEMEX is committed to invest at least 60% of IFC funds toward Climate Smart Projects. Such investments are expected to help the Company reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions from its operations. IFC will monitor, as applicable, (i) dust emissions, (ii) the amount invested in Climate Smart Projects, (iii) the energy purchased from renewable energy sources as well as (iv) the amount of energy saved and CO2 mitigated.  Renewable Energy: IFC''s investment will support the Ventika wind farm project which was developed by CEMEX and other parties and in which CEMEX owns 5% of the share capital as of December 31, 2015.   Demonstration Effect: CEMEX''s extensive programs in pollution control, wind farm and Research & Development in an effort to reduce its GHG emissions is expected to have a strong demonstration effect in an industry known to have significant impact on the environment. The proposed investment could be used as a model and be replicated with other regional or global cement leaders.

La Colorada Silver Mine The Project will involve: the rehabilitation and expansion of an existing underground silver mine; the installation of a processing plant; the clearout of environmental and health hazards associated with the former operation; the provision of clean water, electricity, and other services to local citizens; and an SME component whose objective will be to stimulate local sourcing of products and services, maximizing the project''s developmental impact and the quality of the project procurement.     At full capacity, La Colorada will process 350,000 tonnes of ore per year to produce an average 4.3 million oz of silver and 4,000 oz of gold annually over the initial 9 years of the mine. An annual average of 2,500 tonnes of zinc and 1,300 tonnes of lead will be produced during years 6-9 of operation.      The project will create substantial positive impacts: the provision of clean water, electricity, and other services to local citizens; direct and indirect employment; and a subsequent economic revival for a community in a remote and poor region. The project will be among the firsts to harness IFC''s newly developed SME capacity as it seeks to benefit the community by assisting local suppliers to improve the price and value of their products, and meet the expectations of a sophisticated customer.    The project will directly involve 250 people.    IFC''s involvement will provide political comfort to the sponsor, and will mobilize scarce quasi-equity and debt funding. IFC will play a significant role in enhancing the project''s social and environmental performance beyond what is required by Mexican regulations. IFC will also mobilize advisory support to assist the implementing of the mine''s SME program, aimed in part at reducing the currently high rates of local unemployment. The need for local people to migrate seasonally in search of employment will be reduced, enhancing the competitiveness of the local industry. The project will also act to eliminate the pollution currently being caused by tailings from previous mine exploitation. Such environmental clean-up is made possible by the employment of modern techniques necessary to meet the Bank Group requirements.

         The proposed project consists of two senior secured loans for a total of up to MXN 950 million (US$51 million) to: (i) ALTUM CP, S.A.P.I. DE C.V. SOFOM E.N.R. (AltumCP), an existing operating vehicle of the Altum Fund; and (ii) Lynx CP, S.A.P.I de C.V., SOFOM E.N.R. (Lynx), an operating vehicle of ALTUMCK 18, a publicly traded Certificado de Capital de Desarollo (CKD), which will be launched in 2018/2019 (together Altum or the Funds). The Funds are managed by Legorreta Gómez y Asociados, S.R.L. (LG&A or the Fund Manager). The Project will:
(i) offer alternative sources of long-term financing to non-bank financial institutions NBFIs which will on-lend to MSMEs;
(ii) result in an increase in competitive pressures that affect the market by improving the operating standards of NBFIs;
(iii) promote greater deepening of the local capital market through replicable instruments such as CKDs and private debt funds.
Alta Growth Capital, Mexico Fund III, L.P. The project entails an IFC equity commitment of up to US$15 million, not to exceed 20% of total commitments, in Alta Growth Capital, Mexico Fund III, L.P. (The Fund), a 10-year closed-end generalist fund raising $250 million to make growth equity and buyout investments in 10-12 middle-market companies located in Mexico. The expected development impact is that Alta will drive growth, expansion and operational efficiencies at investee level because Alta takes significant minority or control stakes in its portfolio companies, and then uses the 5-7 year holding period to add value through: (i) Building strong partnerships with investees through alignment of interest and common values; (ii) Implementing effective management teams and proper incentives; (iii) Driving growth plans by having at least two partners work on each company and implementing initiatives such as the 100 day plan; (iv) Closely monitoring investee performance; (v) Partnering with IFC to institutionalize and bolster (a) international ESG standards; (b) prudent valuation methodologies; and (c) transparent and consistent reporting standards; (vi) Being active at board and committee level; and (vii) Having an active independent advisory board that provides a network of executives for investees, among others. The expected market impact is on competitiveness of the Mexican PE Market Structure and Activity because of IFC's clear role in bolstering competition in Mexico due to the demonstration effect investing in a highcaliber GP like Alta has on PE CKD's and institutional investors.
