DE C.V., Sociedad Financiera de Objeto Múltiple, Entidad No Regulada (the "Company") announced today that the early tender period in respect of the previously announced cash tender offer and consent solicitation (the "Tender Offer"), for any and all of its outstanding 6.250% Senior Notes due 2019 (CUSIP/ISIN No. 90470V AA1 / P94880 AA2 and US90470VAA17 / USP94880AA25) (the "Notes") expired on September 21, 2016 at 5:00 P.M., New York City time (the "Early Tender Deadline"). The Company further announced that as of the Early Tender Deadline, the Company had received tenders and consents (not validly withdrawn) from the holders of US$311,672,000, or 85.02% of the total outstanding principal amount of the Notes. The consents received exceeded the amount needed to approve the proposed amendments to the indenture under which the Notes were issued (the "Indenture").

The Tender Offer for the Notes is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on October 5, 2016 (the "Expiration Time"). Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline but prior to the Expiration Time will not receive an early tender payment. Holders of the Notes who tendered their Notes prior to the Early Tender Deadline are entitled to receive an early tender payment of U.S. $30.00 per U.S. $1,000.00 principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase, in addition to the Tender Offer Consideration of US$1,020.00 per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date for the Notes to, but not including, the purchase date therefor.

In accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer, withdrawal rights with respect to the tendered Notes expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 21, 2016 (the "Withdrawal Deadline"). Accordingly, holders may not withdraw Notes previously or hereafter tendered, except as required by law.

This condition is expected to be satisfied upon closing of the Company's concurrent offering of senior notes exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), on terms satisfactory to the Company (the "Financing Transaction"). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including the consummation of the Financing Transaction, the Company may elect to early settle the Notes that were tendered prior to the Early Tender Deadline.
