Material Changes
On June 11, 2021, OMA held an Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting which approved the issuance of 49,766,000 unsubscribed and unpaid Series B Shares. These shares are to be held in the company's treasury. This action is a contingency measure to cover the potential conversion of Series BB Shares owned by Servicios de Tecnología Aeroportuaria, S.A. de C.V. ("SETA") into Series B shares in the event of a default under specific financing documents. The filing explicitly states this issuance is designed not to cause dilution to existing shareholders.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The issuance of treasury shares is directly linked to a tender offer launched on May 24, 2021, by Aerodrome Infrastructure S.à r.l., an affiliate of SETA, to purchase OMA Series B shares. The financing for this offer utilizes SETA's Series BB Shares as collateral. The primary contingency identified is a potential default under the financing documents, which would trigger the conversion of SETA's shares and the subsequent use of the newly authorized treasury shares.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of the tender offer launched by Aerodrome Infrastructure S.à r.l. on May 24, 2021.
- Confirm the terms of the financing documents involving SETA and the specific conditions that constitute a default.
- Review the total authorized share capital to ensure the 49,766,000 new Series B Shares fit within existing limits.
- Monitor for any future announcements regarding the actual conversion of Series BB Shares or the utilization of the treasury shares.
