This Form 6-K filing by Central North Airport Group (OMA) covers the month of October 2016. The report details a significant corporate restructuring involving OMA's strategic partner, Servicios de Tecnología Aeroportuaria S.A. de C.V. (SETA), and its shareholders, Empresas ICA and Groupe ADP.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific financial performance data such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity figures for the reporting period. The document focuses exclusively on equity ownership changes and corporate governance.
Material Changes
- Exit of Groupe ADP: Groupe ADP exercised its option to exchange its 25.5% shareholding in SETA for OMA B shares held by SETA.
- Equity Transfer: The exchanged shares represent 4.3% of OMA's total equity (3.2% net of taxes). ADP intends to sell this equity interest via an international private placement outside Mexico.

Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
Management Commentary: OMA states that the change in the strategic partner's composition is not expected to affect operations. The company will continue to provide high-quality airport services. ADP is expected to continue providing technical support to SETA and will participate on OMA's Board of Directors until the next Annual Shareholders' Meeting.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing includes standard forward-looking statement disclaimers, noting that actual results may differ due to risks discussed in recent Form 20-F filings. No specific new operational risks were identified in this text.
