(collectively, the “Guarantors”), have fully, unconditionally and irrevocably agreed to guarantee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise in respect of the Notes (the “Guarantee”).

The Guarantee was formalized under a Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 6, 2013 among KOF, Propimex, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Trustee”), as trustee, security registrar, paying agent and transfer agent to the Indenture, dated as of February 5, 2010 among such parties, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 5, 2010 among such parties and The Bank of New York Mellon (Luxembourg) S.A., as Luxembourg Paying Agent and Luxembourg Transfer Agent and the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 1, 2011 among KOF, Propimex and the Trustee.

 

In addition, KOF has filed an authorization request with the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores of Mexico (the “National Banking and Securities Commission”) so that the Guarantors may also fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise in respect of KOF’s peso-denominated bonds (KOF11, KOF11-2 and KOF13 Certificados Bursátiles). However, the Guarantors guarantees of these peso-denominated bonds will not become effective until authorization from the National Banking and Securities Commission is obtained.
