The Federal Government through the National Insurance and Surety Commission, and after agreement by its Board of Directors, based on articles 11, 369, section II, 370, last paragraph, and 372, section XLI, of the Law of Insurance and Surety Institutions, as well as articles 6 and 9 of the Internal Regulations of the National Insurance and Surety Commission, issues these Resolutions in response to the following Background and Considerations:

BACKGROUND

Seguros de Vida Sura México, S.A. de C.V., was authorized by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit to organize and function as an insurance institution, through Official Letter 366-IV-3349 of June 16, 1999, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on August 10 of that same year. This authorization was last modified by this National Insurance and Surety Commission, through Official Letter 06-C00-41100/23083 of April 25, 2018.
Through writings dated December 20, 2017, January 8, March 12, and June 18, 2018, Lic. Viviana Alvarado Balderas, and Lic. Leonel Pereznieto del Prado, on behalf of Seguros de Vida Sura México, S.A. de C.V., and Suramericana, S.A., respectively, requested authorization from this Decentralized Body so that:

(i) Suramericana, S.A. acquires 99.9999% of the shares of Seguros de Vida Sura México, S.A. de C.V., owned by Sura Asset Management México, S.A. de C.V.; and

(ii) Consequently, Seguros de Vida Sura México, S.A. de C.V., carries out a reform of its corporate bylaws.

From the aforementioned statutory modification, it stands out that these bylaws will be adjusted to those of a non-subsidiary insurance institution, and that they will reflect the new shareholding structure of said insurance institution.

Through Official Letter 06-C00-41100/37349 of July 2, 2018, this Commission notified Seguros de Vida Sura México, S.A. de C.V., and Suramericana, S.A., that the Board of Directors of this Commission, in its session 201 of June 26, 2018, taking into consideration the favorable opinion issued by the Authorizations Committee of the same Commission, agreed to grant the authorization requested by the aforementioned institutions regarding the alienation and acquisition of 99.9999% of the shares representing the social capital of Seguros de Vida Sura México, S.A. de C.V., owned by Sura Asset Management México, S.A. de C.V., in favor of Suramericana, S.A.
Additionally, by Official Letter 06-C00-41100/38403 of July 6, 2018, this Commission granted Seguros de Vida Sura México, S.A. de C.V., approval regarding the comprehensive modification of its corporate bylaws agreed upon in terms of the draft of the Minutes of the Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting attached as an annex to its request writing of December 20, 2017, through which it was resolved to approve that said insurer cease to be a subsidiary insurance institution by virtue of the transfer of 99.9999% of its shares in favor of Suramericana, S.A.
With a writing dated July 27, 2018, received by this Commission on that same date, Lic. Viviana Alvarado Balderas, on behalf of Seguros de Vida Sura México, S.A. de C.V., sent the first testimony and a notarially certified copy of public deed number 72,491 of July 25, 2018, granted before the notary of Lic. Ignacio Soto Sobreyra y Silva, holder of Public Notary Office number 13 with exercise in this Mexico City, in which the protocolization of the Minutes of the Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting of said institution, held on July 19, 2018, is recorded, in which, among other things, the comprehensive reform of the corporate bylaws of the aforementioned institution was approved.
Through Official Letter 06-C00-41100/50372 of September 25, 2018, this Commission approved public instrument number 72,491 of July 25, 2018, described in the preceding paragraph.
By Official Letter 06-C00-41100/50380 of September 25, 2018, this Decentralized Body of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, authorized in accordance with the presented scheme, the acquisition by Suramericana, S.A., of 99.9999% of the shares representing the social capital of Seguros de Vida Sura México, S.A. de C.V.
Likewise, through Official Letter 06-C00-41100/50379 of September 25, 2018, this Commission authorized in accordance with the presented scheme, the alienation by Sura Asset Management México, S.A. de C.V., of 99.9999% of the shares representing the social capital of Seguros de Vida Sura México, S.A. de C.V.
