" Article 46.- Popular Financial Societies, for the determination of the capital requirement for credit risk, must adhere to the procedure described in this article.

The capital requirement for credit risk will be that obtained by applying 8 percent to the total amount of the credit portfolio granted by Popular Financial Societies, net of the corresponding estimates for credit risks.

Additionally, for the purposes of what is stated in this article, Popular Financial Societies may deduct from the total amount of each credit, up to 100 percent of the money deposits constituted by the grantee themselves or by third parties who are clients in the Popular Financial Society, that meet the conditions to be considered a guarantee in terms of what is provided by Annex D,
Section IV of these provisions. The amount to be deducted cannot exceed the outstanding balance of the
credit.

Likewise, Popular Financial Societies may recognize the coverage provided by the First Loss Coverage Scheme or by the Pari-Passu Coverage Scheme. In order to determine the corresponding weightings for operations covered by these schemes, Popular Financial Societies must comply with the following:

To the covered portion, which may be up to 100 percent, the corresponding risk weighting of the Protection Provider will be assigned, while the rest of the position will be assigned the risk weighting of the underlying counterparty, according to what is indicated below, and subsequently, it must be multiplied by 8 percent to determine the corresponding capitalization requirement. Only the following Protection Providers are eligible, both in the case of First Loss Coverage Schemes and in Pari-Passu Coverage Schemes or proportional:

Group 1 (Weighting of 0%):

Development banking institutions.

National Financial Development Institution for Agriculture, Rural, Forestry and Fisheries or the one that replaces it.

If the amount of the said coverage is equal to or greater than the sum of the capital requirements of the credits that make up the portfolio, no capital will be required for the total of the individual credits as there is no uncovered portion. For the part covered by the First Loss Coverage Scheme, capital will be required in accordance with the credit risk with the guarantor. In this case, the covered part is equal to the sum of the capital requirements of the individual credits.

If the amount of the coverage is less than the said sum of capital requirements for the individual credits, the Popular Financial Society will constitute capital for the uncovered part for an amount equal to the difference between both concepts. For the part covered by the First Loss Coverage Scheme, capital will be required in accordance with the credit risk with the guarantor. In this case, the covered part is equal to the value of the First Loss Coverage Scheme.

III.

In the case of guarantees under the Pari-Passu Coverage Scheme, where the guarantee does not cover the total exposure and, in addition, the covered and uncovered portions have the same seniority, reductions in total capitalization requirements will be allowed proportionally, that is, the covered part of the position will receive the treatment applicable to admissible guarantees and the rest will be considered as unsecured.

Asset Diversification.

The maximum credit limit that may be granted to a person, whether natural or legal, as well as to Popular Financial Societies affiliated with their Federation, will be 7 percent of the net capital of the Popular Financial Society.

For the purposes of this Section, credits granted to a natural person that represent a "Common Risk" will be considered within the calculation of credits granted to a person, understanding such as those credits that the Popular Financial Society has granted to relatives by blood in the first degree in the ascending or descending line and, if applicable, to the spouse, concubine, or concubine of the borrower, when any of these persons depends economically on the person requesting the credit.

These limits will not be applicable in cases where a Popular Financial Society grants liquidity loans to Popular Financial Societies affiliated with its Federation, as well as to those Popular Financial Societies not affiliated that are supervised in an auxiliary manner by the Federation itself, provided that such credits have been discounted from their capital, in accordance with what is provided by fraction III of article 36 of the Law.

Financing that has unconditional and irrevocable guarantees, covering the principal and accessories thereof, constituted with any of the means referred to in Annex D Bis, Section I, subsections a) to d) of these provisions, as well as those granted by any of the guarantors referred to in Group I of Section IV of Annex D of these provisions, will not count for the purposes of the maximum financing limit referred to in this fraction, and multiple guarantees from these guarantors may be accumulated.

III.

. . .

The Commission, at the request of the interested Popular Financial Society, accompanied by the opinion of the Federation exercising auxiliary supervision powers over it, may authorize in exceptional cases, specific operations for amounts higher than the limits indicated in the previous fractions I and II. "

" Article 67.- Popular Financial Societies, for the determination of capital requirements for credit risk, must adhere to the following procedure:

Group 1. Cash; credits to the Federal Government or with express guarantee of the Federal Government itself and contingent operations carried out with the persons indicated in this subsection, as well as other operations where the counterparty of the Popular Financial Societies is any of the persons mentioned in this group.

Group 3. Credits and other assets that generate credit risk, where the counterparty of the Popular Financial Societies is different from the persons mentioned in the groups provided in subsections a) and b) above.

. . .

II.

. . .

III.

. . .

In the case of loans for the acquisition or construction of personal housing that have a guarantee of at least 50 percent of the outstanding balance of the loan granted by any public promotion entity, for the purposes of capitalization requirements, Popular Financial Societies will consider the guaranteed portion of the credit within group 2 and the remaining non-guaranteed portion within group 3.

. . .

Regarding repo operations, Popular Financial Societies must determine prior to the credit risk weighting, the result of subtracting from the repo debtor's balance, the corresponding fair value of the collateral received in each operation, referred to in the Accounting Criteria contained in Annex E of these Provisions. In the event that the obtained result is positive, said difference will be multiplied by the weighting corresponding to the risk group of the counterparty.

Additionally, for the purposes of what is stated in this article, Popular Financial Societies may deduct from the total amount of each credit, up to 100 percent of money deposits constituted by the borrower themselves or by third parties who are clients in the Popular Financial Society, that meet the conditions to be considered a guarantee in terms of what is provided by Annex D, Section IV of these provisions. The amount to be deducted may not be higher than the outstanding balance of the credit.

Likewise, Popular Financial Societies may recognize the coverage provided by First Loss Coverage Schemes or Step and Measure Coverage Schemes. In order to determine the corresponding weightings for operations covered by said schemes, Popular Financial Societies must comply with the following:

To the covered portion, which may be up to 100 percent, the risk weighting corresponding to that of the Protection Provider will be assigned, while the rest of the position will be assigned the risk weighting of the underlying counterparty, as indicated below.

In those credits intended for remodeling or improvement of housing that do not have a duly registered mortgage guarantee in the name of the Popular Financial Society, to qualify and constitute the corresponding preventive estimates, they must apply the table referred to in Section I of this Annex.

IV.

Adjustments to Preventive Estimates and Recognition of Guarantees

Popular Financial Societies may only recognize reductions in the days of delinquency of credits that have been subject to restructuring or renewal, once there is sustained payment, in accordance with what is established in the Accounting Criteria. When making such modifications, they shall adhere to the policies that the Popular Financial Society itself has approved for such effect.

When Popular Financial Societies have guarantees that comply with what is provided in Annex D Bis, Section I of these provisions, they may reduce the percentage of preventive estimates of the credit or credits in question, taking the necessary measures so that the guarantee can be adjudicated and executed at the moment that defaults occur on the part of the borrower, placing them in the non-performing portfolio, in accordance with what is established in the Accounting Criteria. The uncovered part shall maintain the percentage of preventive estimates corresponding to it.

Popular Financial Societies may only recognize reductions in the days of delinquency derived from the application of personal and non-financial real guarantees of credits that have been subject to restructuring or renewal when there is sustained payment, and they must take the necessary measures so that the guarantee can be adjudicated and executed at the moment that defaults occur on the part of the borrower, placing them in the non-performing portfolio, in accordance with what is established in the Accounting Criteria. In the event that the management for the adjudication and execution of the guarantee does not begin at the moment the credit is classified as non-performing portfolio, Popular Financial Societies must cease to recognize the coverage provided by said guarantee and assign the preventive estimates corresponding to the days of delinquency recorded.

The guarantees constituted in terms of the previous paragraph, may cover the total or a determined percentage of the outstanding balance of one or more credits and, provided that, in the deposit contracts or in the modifications to these, it is foreseen that there is no possibility of making withdrawals or disposing of the referred guarantees during the validity of the credits and that these can be covered from such deposits or values.

Popular Financial Societies, when qualifying credits that have 2 or more guarantees, may recognize the coverage of said guarantees considering the following:

They will determine the part of the balance that is covered by 2 or more guarantees, whether they are means of payment with immediate liquidity, non-financial guarantees, or Step-by-Step Coverage Schemes or First Loss Coverage Schemes, as well as the exposed or uncovered portion in the terms described.

The covered part of the credit balance can be divided into 2 or more segments, based on the type of guarantees that have been granted, provided that they adjust to the following:

If there are 2 or more Step-by-Step Coverage Schemes or First Loss Coverage Schemes, each guarantor must respond for the guaranteed part of the credit balance, provided that there are no exceptions or defenses of priority order in collection among the guarantors themselves.

If there are 2 or more guarantees constituted with means of payment with immediate liquidity or non-financial guarantees, each of them must cover the guaranteed part of the credit balance, provided that it has been expressly agreed

in the contracts that give rise to the guarantee, the portion of the credit that will remain guaranteed with each encumbered asset.

In the case of combinations of Step and Measure Coverage Schemes or First-Loss Coverage Schemes and payment instruments with immediate liquidity or non-financial guarantees, each of them may be considered, provided that they are enforceable at the time of classification and meet the requirements established in subsections a) and b) of this Section.

Upon receiving guarantees whose validity is subject to the fulfillment of terms and conditions by the Popular Financial Society, the creditor of the guarantee, and if the latter fails to comply with such terms and conditions, the guarantee shall not be considered for the purposes of this Section.

Popular Financial Societies may not simultaneously take Step and Measure Coverage Schemes or First-Loss Coverage Schemes and payment instruments with immediate liquidity or non-financial guarantees from the same guarantor.

Popular Financial Societies may choose not to recognize guarantees if doing so results in higher preventive provisions.

The credit balance for the purposes of portfolio classification shall not include accrued but uncollected interest on credits in the delinquent portfolio, as these shall be reserved separately applying a 100% provision.

Regarding guarantees constituted with payment instruments with immediate liquidity provided for in Annex D Bis, Section I, subsections a), b), c), and d) of these provisions, with respect to which the application of said resources to the entire outstanding balance or to a certain percentage of the outstanding balance of the credit can be ensured, Popular Financial Societies may exempt the covered portion of the credit with such guarantees from the constitution of preventive provisions.

Regarding guarantees constituted with payment instruments with immediate liquidity provided for in Annex D Bis, Section I, subsections e) and f) of these provisions, with respect to which the application of said resources to the entire outstanding balance or, if applicable, to a certain percentage of the outstanding balance of the credit can be ensured, Popular Financial Societies shall constitute provisions for the covered portion corresponding to a percentage of 0.5 percent.

In the event that Popular Financial Societies are beneficiaries under the First-Loss Coverage Scheme for a credit or for a portfolio of identified credits with similar characteristics, they shall apply the following procedure:

If applicable, ensure that the credits comprising the portfolio covered by the received guarantee are clearly identified and have similar characteristics.

Calculate the provision requirement for the credit, or for each of the credits in the covered portfolio according to the methodologies described in fractions I to IV of this Annex, as applicable, and in the case of credit portfolios, sum the results of each credit to determine the total provision requirement for said portfolio.

The total provisions calculated according to the previous subsection b) shall be compared with the value of the corresponding First-Loss Coverage Schemes, in order to adjust as follows:

If the value of the First-Loss Coverage Schemes is greater than or equal to the total provision requirement for the credit or for the credit portfolio before the recognition of the own guarantees, the Popular Financial Society shall only constitute the provisions resulting from multiplying the percentage of provisions corresponding to the coverage provider, in accordance with this Annex, by the amount of the provisions required for the credit or credit portfolio.

If the value of the First-Loss Coverage Schemes is less than the total provision requirement of the credit or credit portfolio before the recognition of the own guarantees, the Popular Financial Society shall constitute provisions for the uncovered portion up to the amount necessary to reach the total of the required provisions, while for the covered portion, it shall constitute the provisions resulting from multiplying the percentage of provisions corresponding to the coverage provider, in accordance with this Annex, by the amount of the guarantee.

For Popular Financial Societies to recognize guarantees and assign the corresponding reserve to the covered tranches of the credit or portfolio, there must be evidence of compliance with the terms and conditions established by the guarantors regarding the information they require, as well as compliance with the processes established in the corresponding contracts.

Regarding Step and Measure Coverage Schemes, the Popular Financial Society shall separate the covered portion of the credit or covered portfolio from the uncovered portion, assigning to the former the percentage of provisions corresponding to the coverage provider and to the latter the percentage of provisions corresponding to the original borrower, in accordance with this Annex.

In both First-Loss Coverage Schemes and Step and Measure or proportional Coverage Schemes, only the following groups of admissible coverage providers shall be recognized for the purposes of portfolio classification:

Group 1.

Development banking institutions.

National Financial Institution for Agricultural, Rural, Forestry and Fisheries Development or its successor.

Public trusts that are part of the Mexican financial system in accordance with Article 3 of the Credit Institutions Law.

Trusts celebrated specifically for the purpose of sharing credit risk, in which development banking institutions act as settlors and trustees, which have an express guarantee from the Federal Government.

National Guarantee Fund for the Agricultural, Forestry, Fisheries and Rural Sectors or its successor.

National Infrastructure Fund or its successor.

Entities of the Federal Public Administration under direct budgetary control, state-owned productive companies, or programs derived from a federal law that are part of the Federal Expenditure Budget.

Funds constituted with resources contributed as guarantee by state or municipal governments that are liquid and irrevocable in favor of the Popular Financial Society.

Group 2.

National multiple banking institutions that have a rating of at least investment grade on the national scale.

Other entities belonging to the Mexican financial system, including insurers that have at least investment grade on the national scale.

Other legal persons or international financial entities that have at least investment grade on the international scale.

Group 3.

Other clients of the same Popular Financial Society.

When coverage providers listed in Group 1 are available, the percentage of provisions corresponding to the covered portion shall be 0.5 percent. Regarding coverage providers listed in Group 2, a provision percentage of 1 percent shall be assigned to the covered portion. In the case of guarantees granted by the persons referred to in Group 3, the percentage of provisions corresponding to the maximum days of default that said client registers in other operations, applied to the provision table of the covered operation, shall be assigned to the covered portion.

In the event that the uncovered portion corresponds to a lower provision percentage than that corresponding to the covered portion, as indicated in the previous paragraph, Popular Financial Societies may use the former for the entire operation.

In the case of credits intended to finance the primary activity of the agricultural sector that have crop and animal damage insurance, which meet the characteristics referred to in Annex D Bis, Section IX, subsection d) of these provisions, Popular Financial Societies may multiply the provisions corresponding to the direct borrower by a factor of 95 percent, provided that no insurance claim has occurred.

For the purposes of the previous paragraph, credits to the agricultural and rural sector shall be understood as those directed to the primary production of the agricultural, livestock, forestry, and fishing sectors, as well as to the industrial, commerce, and services sectors, provided that they are integrated into the primary activity of the initially mentioned sectors whose branches and sub-branches of economic activity correspond to those designated as sector 11 of the North American Industry Classification System 2018 (NAICS) of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).

In the event that a claim is made to the entity granting the insurance by the lending Popular Financial Society and said entity accepts it without the covered amount having been executed or paid, and therefore the credit has not been written off from the balance sheet of the Popular Financial Societies, these may calculate the provisions by multiplying the balance of the covered credit by 1.0 percent, when the aforementioned insurance-granting entity has a rating assigned by a credit rating institution of at least investment grade on the national scale.

Popular Financial Societies that have non-financial real guarantees covering at least 50 percent of the outstanding balance of the credit at the date of calculation of preventive reserves may recognize such guarantees for the purposes of provisioning their credit portfolio, up to the amount resulting from multiplying the recognition percentage provided in the following table by their last appraised value, updated for depreciation in the case of movable goods:

Type of non-financial guarantee or assimilable instrument

Recognition Percentage (%)

Commercial and residential real estate

Movable goods and others

To determine the provisions corresponding to the covered portion of each credit or portfolio covered with financial and non-financial real guarantees, a provisioning percentage of 0.5 percent shall be assigned.
