V.

With a writing dated March 30, 2017, received by this Commission on April 5 of the same year, that Insurance Institution, through the President of its Board of Directors, responded to the summons official letter 06-C00-22100/09872 dated March 14, 2017.

In the aforementioned response writing, that Insurance Institution denied having infringed what is provided for in articles 49, 232, 233, 235, 236, 241, 242, 243, 244, 250 and 252 of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, in relation to Chapter 6.1 and Annex 6.1.2 of the Single Insurance and Bonds Circular, since it also denied that as of December 31, 2016 it had presented, among others, an origin shortfall in the coverage of the Investment Base of technical reserves of $517,992,904.33, a shortfall in the Solvency Capital Requirement of $830,746,952.71 and a shortfall in the coverage of Paid Minimum Capital of $360,298,282.11.

Notwithstanding the above and for the ungranted assumption that that Insurance Institution had presented the probable shortfalls mentioned, among other clarifications, in the account writing it manifested the following:

• That at all times it maintained the assets destined to back its Investment Base of technical reserves for an amount equivalent to $415,123,573.52 in accordance with what is established in articles 231, 247, 248, 250, 252 and 254 of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions.

• That it has sufficient Admissible Own Funds to back its Solvency Capital Requirement for an amount of $119,816,523.03.

• That according to article 49 of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, in relation to what is provided in chapter 6.1 and Annex 6.1.2 of the Single Insurance and Bonds Circular, it has always maintained a Paid Minimum Capital to operate as an insurance institution to operate exclusively reinsurance, being as of December 31 in the amount of $119,816,523.03.

That Insurance Institution also argued that on December 12, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Superintendence of Insurance and Reinsurance of Panama ordered the intervention of the principal reinsurer of that Insurance Institution, Istmo Reinsurance Company, Inc., taking possession of its assets and assuming its administration; as well as that the intervention of the Reinsurer will be for a period of 180 calendar days, extendable in exceptional cases and prior motivated request of the intervener to the Board of Directors, in accordance with the regulation in force in that country. The aforementioned, clarified in the aforementioned writing, that Insurance Institution made known to this Commission by writing dated December 26, 2016, delivered on January 5, 2017, as well as the actions it would take immediately to mitigate the negative effects that could affect the real financial situation of the institution.

Thus, explained that Insurance Institution, in order to reflect "the above" in the Regulatory Report on Financial Statements (RR-7) corresponding to December 31, 2016, sent to this Commission through the Electronic Information Delivery System (SEIVE), it carried out in the accounting entries suggested by external auditors and independent actuaries, the estimation of a write-off of debts for the amount of $452,602,310.28.

In this order of ideas, it stands out that in the ungranted assumption that that Insurance Institution had presented the shortfalls referred to in the summons official letter, Istmo Mexico, Reinsurance Company, S.A. de C.V., is executing collection actions that eliminate the accounting items that gave rise to the estimation for write-off of debts.

With the response writing, the summons contained in the aforementioned official letter 06-C00-22100/09872 dated March 14, 2017, that Insurance Institution exhibited the following proofs:

a) Photocopy of the writing dated December 25, 2016, presented on January 5, 2017, by virtue of which a representative of that Insurance Institution informs this Commission that in a council session of Istmo Mexico, Reinsurance Company, S.A. de C.V., held on December 15, 2016, it was resolved: to make known to this Commission the intervention by the Superintendence of Insurance and Reinsurance of the Republic of Panama, of Istmo Reinsurance Company, Inc., principal reinsurer of that Insurance Institution; to manage the collection of pending balances of the accounts of the excess contract as of the third quarter of 2016; and, if applicable, to look for a new reinsurer to whom to cede the new portfolio and transfer the current one.

b) Table of accounting entries to determine the estimation for write-off of debts applied in December 2016.

c) Photocopy of the email of December 21, 2016, addressed by a legal representative of Istmo Mexico, Reinsurance Company, S.A. de C.V., to Istmo Reinsurance Company, Inc., by virtue of which it requests payment of the balances shown in the accounts of the excess contracts as of the third quarter of 2016, for the amount of $71,591,003.46.

d) Photocopy of the email of December 21, 2016, addressed by the Intervening Board of Istmo Re Inc., to that Insurance Institution, by virtue of which it informs that they are in the phase of intervention, inventorying the assets and liabilities of the society, within which it is considering very particularly the balance of collection as of September 30, 2016 for the significant amount of the same, and communicates that it is the intention of the Intervening Board to honor all the liabilities of the Society and, if possible, ensure its continuity.

VI.

With a writing dated April 5, 2017, received by this Commission on the same date, the President of the Board of Directors of that Insurance Institution requested a 7 business day extension to present the Regularization Plan to remedy, among others, the shortfalls in the coverage of the Investment Base of technical reserves, of the Solvency Capital Requirement and of the Paid Minimum Capital, required by official letter 06-C00-22100/09872 dated March 14, 2017, the above, indicated in the promotion in question, with the purpose of determining with precision the detailed calendar of the actions that would be adopted to comply with it in its entirety.

VII.

By official letter 06-C00-22100/15257 dated April 10, 2017, received by that Insurance Institution on the 20th of the same month and year, the General Directorate of Financial Supervision of this Commission communicated that it had no objection to granting the extension requested with writing of April 5, 2017, of seven business days for that Insurance Institution to submit to the approval of this Authority the Regularization Plan required with official letter 06-C00-22100/09872. The above, was communicated in official letter 06-C00-22100/15257, under the understanding that the ninety-day period to comply with the Regularization Plan began to count from April 7, 2017 on which that Insurance Institution must have sent the aforementioned Regularization Plan.

VIII.

By official letter 06-C00-22100/17288 dated April 26, 2017, notified to that Insurance Institution on April 27, 2017, and based on what is provided for in article 320 of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, the General Directorate of Financial Supervision of this Commission reiterated to that Insurance Institution the request for presentation of the Regularization Plan aimed at remedying, among others, the irregularities consisting of shortfalls in the coverages of the Investment Base of technical reserves, of the Solvency Capital Requirement and of the Paid Minimum Capital corresponding to the fourth quarter of 2016, as stated in official letter number 06-C00-22100/09872 mentioned above; and granted for the aforementioned effect a period of two business days counted from the business day following the receipt of the aforementioned official letter 06-C00-22100/17288. The above, was specified in official letter 06-C00-22100/17288, taking into account that by official letter 06-C00- 22100/15257 dated April 10, 2017 this Commission granted that Insurance Institution the extension for a period of seven business days requested with writing of April 5, 2017, and that the aforementioned period expired on April 20, 2017, without that Insurance Institution having presented for its approval the required Regularization Plan.

IX.

By writing dated May 2, 2017, received by this Commission on that same date, that Insurance Institution in order to comply with the requirement formulated with official letter 06-C00-22100/ 17288 dated April 26, 2017 and comply with the presentation of the Regularization Plan aimed at remedying, among others, the irregularities consisting of the shortfalls in the coverages of the Investment Base of technical reserves, of the Solvency Capital Requirement and in the Paid Minimum Capital, corresponding to the fourth quarter of 2016; requested from this Commission a period of thirty business days to be in a position to present for the approval of this Authority, a realistic Regularization Plan that would allow it to cover the aforementioned shortfalls.

The above, manifested that Insurance Institution in the aforementioned writing, taking into account that while it waited for a response to the collection management carried out by that Insurance Institution against Istmo Reinsurance Company, Inc., it learned that the Panamanian authority had ordered the forced liquidation of the company and suspended or limited the payment of the obligations of the company in liquidation and of the debts of the mass according to the availability of resources; and that given the gravity of the situation it is necessary to propose to the shareholders a capital contribution greater than originally planned.

X.

By official letter 06-C00-22100/20784 dated May 15, 2017, notified to that Insurance Institution on May 16, 2017, the General Directorate of Financial Supervision of this Commission responded to the request made in the writing of May 2, 2017, referred to in the Preceding Antecedent, manifesting that this Authority is not in a position to approve said request, by

lacking authority in this regard, since pursuant to Article 9 of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, through official letter 06-C00-22100/15257 of April 10, 2017, this Commission had already granted the seven business days extension requested by that Insurance Institution through a written submission dated April 5, 2017, and that through official letter 06-C00-22100/17288 of April 26, 2017, with which this Authority reiterated the order to present the Plan of Regularization of antecedents, two additional business days were granted to that Insurance Institution to comply with the aforementioned requirement, without having presented the respective Plan of Regularization.

XI.

As of July 19, 2017, that Insurance Institution had not presented the Plan of Regularization ordered through official letter 06-C00-22100/09872 of March 14, 2017, nor had it demonstrated by any means the remediation of the deficiencies in the solvency parameters indicated in the aforementioned official letter.

XII.

Through official letter 06-C00-42200/41618 of July 19, 2017, the General Directorate of Contentious and Sanctions Law of this Commission summoned Istmo Mexico, Reinsurance Company, S.A. de C.V., to a procedure for the revocation of the authorization granted to it to function as an Insurance Institution, due to the probable alignment of its conduct with the grounds for revocation contemplated in Article 332, first paragraph and fraction II, of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, in which it incurred, as specified in the aforementioned summons:

I. Shortfall in the coverage of the Investment Base.

Pursuant to Article 231 of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, Insurance Institutions are obligated to have at all times sufficient assets and investments to cover their Investment Base, invested in accordance with what is stated in Articles 247 to 255 of the aforementioned Law, understanding the Investment Base, as provided in Article 2, fraction II, of the cited Law and by provision 1.1.1, fraction XV, of the Single Circular of Insurance and Bonds, as the sum of the technical reserves that, in the case of Insurance Institutions, will additionally include premiums in deposit, resources from the investment life insurance funds, and those related to the operations referred to in fractions XXI and XXII of Article 118 of the cited Law.

In the case at hand and in the terms specified in Antecedent II of this resolution, that Insurance Institution presented to this Commission on March 10, 2017, through the Electronic Information Submission System (SEIVE), product RR7EFITR, the Regulatory Report on Financial Statements (RR-7) with information as of December 31, 2016 (hereinafter RR-7 or Regulatory Report).

Based on the information provided by that Insurance Institution with the aforementioned Regulatory Report and attending to what is prescribed by the norms invoked in the first paragraph of this Section "I. Shortfall in the coverage of the Investment Base", in order to determine the Investment Base that that Insurance Institution was required to have covered as of December 31, 2016, this Commission summed the reserves reported by that Insurance Institution in the RR-7, through the file named RR7EFITRBASES006320161231.txt (Determination of the Investment Base), resulting in an Investment Base of $293,859,054.75, as follows:

Given the penalty or preventive estimation of credit risks of foreign reinsurers for $452,607,263.20, which that Insurance Institution affected to the coverage of the Investment Base, the assets for $228,473,413.62, described above, were reduced by the amount of said preventive estimation, so that by summing the aforementioned assets for the amount of $228,473,413.62 and the negative assets of $452,607,263.20, derived from the aforementioned preventive estimation, negative assets result of $224,133,849.58 affected by the coverage of the Investment Base of that Insurance Institution as of December 31, 2016, as follows:

II.- Investment Base 293,859,054.75

Shortfall in the coverage of the Investment Base (I-II) -517,992,904.33

In addition to the above, for the purposes of this resolution, it is considered that despite complying with what is established in Articles 320 and 252, second paragraph, of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, in terms of official letter 06-C00-22100/09872 of March 14, 2017, indicated in Antecedent IV of this resolution, this Commission ordered that Insurance Institution to present a Regularization Plan aimed at remedying the aforementioned shortfall, that Insurance Institution has not yet presented said Plan of Regularization, nor has it offered any proof that it has remedied the aforementioned shortfall reported in the coverage of the Investment Base as of December 31, 2016.

Indeed, as described in Antecedents III and IV of this resolution, through official letter 06-C00-22100/09872 of March 14, 2017, notified on the 15th of the same month and year, the General Directorate of Financial Supervision of this Commission, in addition to summoning that Insurance Institution to the sanctioning procedure motivated by the possible administrative infringement derived from the shortfall in the coverage of the solvency parameter in question, granted that Insurance Institution, attending to what is provided by Articles 320 and 252, second paragraph, of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, a period of fifteen business days to expose what was convenient for its rights in relation to the aforementioned probable shortfall in the coverage of the Investment Base and ordered it to submit for approval by this Commission a Plan of Regularization to restore the coverage of said solvency parameter within the same period.

Despite what is stated in the preceding paragraph and that this Commission, as described in Antecedents VI to XI of this resolution, granted to that Insurance Institution through official letter 06-C00-22100/15257 of April 10, 2017, the extension of seven business days requested by that same Insurance Institution with its written submission of April 5, 2017; despite that this Commission reiterated to it through official letter 06-C00-22100/17288 of April 26, 2017, the order to present the aforementioned Plan of Regularization, granting for that effect an additional period of two business days; and despite that that Insurance Institution with its written submissions dated April 5, 2017, and May 2, 2017, with which it requested extensions of the period granted in the aforementioned official letter 06-C00-22100/09872, manifested its intention to present for approval by this Commission a realistic Plan of Regularization that would allow it to solve, among others, the aforementioned shortfall in the coverage of the Investment Base, since, as that Insurance Institution admits in the second of the aforementioned written submissions, the gravity of the situation made it necessary to propose to the shareholders a capital contribution greater than originally planned; as of the date of this resolution, that Insurance Institution has not presented the aforementioned Plan of Regularization, nor has it offered proof of the remediation of the shortfall in question, which, in terms of what is exposed in this Section "I. Shortfall in the coverage of the Investment Base", as of December 31, 2016, amounted to $517,992,904.33.

Thus, that Insurance Institution, by presenting a shortfall in the coverage of the Investment Base, is subject to the causal ground for revocation of authorization to operate as an insurance institution provided in fraction II of Article 332 of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, according to which that causal is configured if the insurance institution in question does not maintain the Investment Base covered, in terms of Articles 231, 250, and 252 of said Law, with the circumstance that this infringement by itself and because it immediately and directly affects the solvency of insurance institutions, is a sufficient cause, as established by the aforementioned fraction II of Article 332 of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, for the revocation of the authorization to operate as an insurance institution to be declared.

Furniture and equipment, and X. Intangible assets of defined and long duration"; as shown below:

For the above, that Insurance Institution reported a shortfall in the coverage of the Solvency Capital Requirement of $312,754,048.38.

Notwithstanding the above, and pursuant to Article 241, first paragraph, of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, in relation to what is provided in provision 7.1.4, first paragraph, fraction IV, of the Single Circular of Insurance and Bonds which establishes that "The determination of the amounts of Admissible Own Funds susceptible to cover the SCR will be based on the excess of assets over the liabilities of the Institutions.

Shortfall in the coverage of the Investment Base" of this SECOND CONSIDERING, so that this Authority, based on the information provided by that Insurance Institution with the RR-7, determined as of December 31, 2016, negative Admissible Own Funds computable to the Solvency Capital Requirement of that Insurance Institution for $517,197,436.98, as shown below:

Thus, considering that, as admitted in RR-7, as of December 31, 2016, that Insurance Institution had a Solvency Capital Requirement of $313,549,515.73 and that this Commission has determined, also based on the information provided in the cited Regulatory Report, that on that date that Insurance Institution had negative Admissible Own Funds computable for the coverage of said solvency parameter by $517,197,436.98, it is concluded that the shortfall in the coverage of the Solvency Capital Requirement presented by that Insurance Institution as of December 31, 2016 is $830,746,952.71 and not $312,754,048.38, as reported by that Insurance Institution, as follows:

" b) Confidentiality. The certainty that only the recipient and the signatory will be able to access the sent message, since the encryption process transforms the original message into unintelligible characters to third parties and access to the original message is restricted by means of keys;

" c) Integrity. The certainty that the information contained in the message has not been modified during the process, that is, that the sent message and the signature have not suffered any alteration during its transmission to the recipient, and

" d) Non-repudiation. The signatory cannot deny authorship of the message; " .

Likewise, it is taken into account that in accordance with what is provided in provision 39.1.2 of the Single Insurance and Surety Circular, the use of the aforementioned electronic identification means established in said Circular in substitution of the autograph signature, will produce the same effects that the Laws grant to the corresponding documents and, consequently, will have the same probative value. In the line of ideas pointed out and considering that the document corresponding to the sending of the aforementioned Regulatory Report, coming from that Insurance Institution, is the private document in terms of what is established in article 133 of the Federal Code of Civil Procedures, it proceeds to give probative value to said Regulatory Report in terms of what is provided in article 203 of said Code, since it is contrary to the interests of that Insurance Institution, since with it, and in terms of what is stated in Sections I to III of the SECOND CONSIDERING of this resolution, it recognizes the base information of the possible shortfalls determined in the aforementioned Sections.

The foregoing, with the circumstance that the information reported with the RR-7 is stored on the servers of this Commission and that the same, as well as that relative to its sending, communication and reception by the Electronic Information Sending System (SEIVE), with successful transaction number 224102, is accessible for consultation.

For the reasons stated above, the evidence elements previously valued do not contradict each other and as a whole fully establish the existence as of December 31, 2016, of:

i.

Shortfall in the coverage of the Investment Base by $517,992,904.33.

ii.

Shortfall in the coverage of the Solvency Capital Requirement by $830,746,952.71.

iii.

Shortfall in the coverage of the Paid Minimum Capital by $360,298,282.11.

FOURTH.- To further elaborate on what has been analyzed, valued, and concluded in the preceding CONSIDERING SECOND and THIRD of this resolution, it must be weighed that said Insurance Institution did not respond to the notice of summons 06-C00-42200/41618 of July 19, 2017, so that as of the date of this resolution it has not disproven the existence of the shortfalls described in Sections I to III of CONSIDERING SECOND in relation to CONSIDERING THIRD of this resolution, exposed by said Insurance Institution as of December 31, 2016, in the coverage of the Investment Base, in the coverage of the Solvency Capital Requirement, and in the coverage of the Paid Minimum Capital, nor has said Insurance Institution accredited by any means that it has corrected the shortfalls in the referred solvency parameters. Furthermore, since said Insurance Institution did not exercise its right to a hearing, that right is deemed precluded, based on article 478, third paragraph, of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions.

For the above stated, the facts consisting of the existence of the shortfalls as of December 31, 2016, described in the Second Consideration of the notice of summons 06-C00-42200/41618 of July 19, 2017, to which reference is made in Antecedent XII of this resolution, namely: shortfall of $517,992,904.33 in the coverage of the Investment Base, shortfall of $830,746,952.71 in the coverage of the Solvency Capital Requirement, and shortfall of $360,298,282.11 in the coverage of the Paid Minimum Capital, in the judgment of this Commission, are fully proven with the legal presumption produced by the fictitious confession of said Insurance Institution by virtue of the fact that it did not contest these facts by omitting to formulate its response to the aforementioned summons, since these facts are not only not disproven or contradicted by other evidence elements in the file in which the proceedings are taking place, but, on the contrary, they have also been fully accredited by the various means of conviction described and valued in CONSIDERING SECOND in relation to CONSIDERING THIRD of this resolution. This, based on the provisions of articles 479, last paragraph, of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, and 95, 96, 201, and 218, final part of the first paragraph, of the Federal Code of Civil Procedures.

FIFTH.- Based on what has been stated, analyzed, and valued in the CONSIDERING SECOND, THIRD, and FOURTH of this resolution, it is concluded that it has been proven that said Insurance Institution placed its conduct in the circumstances for revocation of the authorization granted to it to function as an Insurance Institution, provided for in article 332, first paragraph, and fraction II, of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, by:

Not maintaining, as of December 31, 2016, the Investment Base covered due to the shortfall of $517,992,904.33, in terms of articles 231, 250, and 252 of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, among other provisions, as analyzed in Section I of CONSIDERING SECOND of this resolution.

Not having, as of December 31, 2016, sufficient Admissible Own Funds to cover the Solvency Capital Requirement, due to the shortfall of $830,746,952.71, in terms of articles 241, 250, and 252 of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, among other provisions, as analyzed in Section II of CONSIDERING SECOND of this resolution.

Not having the Paid Minimum Capital duly covered, as of December 31, 2016, due to the shortfall of $360,298,282.11, in the terms provided for in article 49 of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, among other provisions, as analyzed in Section III of CONSIDERING SECOND of this resolution.

The irregularities in question were committed starting from December 31, 2016.

It should be noted that according to the aforementioned fraction II of article 332 of the Law of Insurance and Bond Institutions, the updating of just one of the infractions indicated in subsections 1 to 3 preceding is sufficient cause to generate the legal consequence consisting of this Commission, with the agreement of its Board of Directors, declaring the revocation of the authorization to operate as an insurance institution, with the circumstance that in the case of said Insurance Institution, the aforementioned three causes of this legal consequence concur.

For the above stated, the following are appropriate
