CYDSA ANNOUNCES EXTENSION OF EARLY TENDER TIME, INCREASE OF MAXIMUM AMOUNT AND ELECTION OF EARLY SETTLEMENT DATE FOR THE TENDER OFFER FOR ITS OUTSTANDING 6.250% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2027

SAN PEDRO GARZA GARCIA, Mexico, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cydsa, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Cydsa") (BMV: CYDSASA) announced today that it has extended the early tender time for its previously announced tender offer to purchase for cash (the "Tender Offer") of its 6.250% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "Notes") and increased the maximum amount of the Tender Offer so that the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will not result in the Aggregate Purchase Price (as defined below) to exceed U.S.$80 million (such amount, as may be further modified by Cydsa in its sole discretion, the "Revised Maximum Amount"). The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the terms of an Offer to Purchase dated April 9, 2024 (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase"), and is subject to certain conditions. The financing condition set forth in the Offer to Purchase has been satisfied with respect to the Revised Maximum Amount.

As of the original early tender time of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 22, 2024 (the "Original Early Tender Time"), U.S.$68,255,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn.  The deadline for holders of Notes to validly tender Notes in the Tender Offer and be eligible to receive the Total Consideration has been extended to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 7, 2024 (as so extended, the "Revised Early Tender Time"). All other terms, provisions and conditions of the Tender Offer will remain in full force and effect, it being understood that references to the "Early Tender Time" in the Offer to Purchase shall mean the Revised Early Tender Time and "Maximum Amount" shall mean the Revised Maximum Amount.

Holders of Notes may tender Notes at or prior to the Revised Early Tender Time in order to receive the Total Consideration. The "Total Consideration" for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Revised Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase will equal U.S.$990.00 per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes. The Total Consideration consists of the early tender payment equal to U.S.$50.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of such Notes and the "Tender Consideration" of U.S.$940.00 per $1,000 principal amount of such Notes. Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest ("Accrued Interest") from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date. The aggregate amount of Tender Offer Consideration and Total Consideration that holders of Notes are entitled to receive, excluding Accrued Interest, for Notes that are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase by Cydsa is referred to as the "Aggregate Purchase Price."

Pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer set forth therein, Cydsa intends to accept for purchase all U.S.$68,255,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Original Early Tender Time and has exercised its right to have an early settlement date with respect to such Notes, which is expected to occur on April 25, 2024 (the "Early Settlement Date"). Following the Early Settlement Date, the outstanding amount of the Notes will be reduced from U.S.$252,010,000 to U.S.$183,755,000.

The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 7, 2024 (the "Expiration Time"). In addition, the withdrawal deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 22, 2024 for the Tender Offer has now passed; accordingly, Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offer may not be withdrawn.

Cydsa's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, any Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction or, when applicable, waiver of certain customary conditions, which are more fully described in the Offer to Purchase.
