Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes and Corporate Actions
Following the April 27, 2010 Shareholders' Meeting, the Company announced a deferment of dividend payments and a reduction in the outstanding amount of shareholders' equity. However, the Company has now clarified that it is unable to ascertain if the approvals for these specific items were valid due to a dispute regarding the voting rights of a strategic partner.
- Voting Rights Dispute: Conflicting opinions arose regarding whether the voting rights of Aeropuertos Mexicanos del Pacifico, S.A. de C.V. (holder of 100% of Series "BB" shares, representing 15% of capital stock) were suspended due to a pending Civil Court proceeding.
- Corporate Bylaws: Article 43 requires a favorable majority vote from Series "BB" shares (minimum 7.65% of outstanding stock) to approve dividends and capital changes.
- Outcome: Due to the uncertainty, the Company deferred the previously announced dividend payment and equity reduction until the legal events are clarified.
