- Monitor the execution of the MXP$25 billion buyback program to assess the pace of share cancellation and capital reduction.
- Confirm the impact of the treasury share cancellation on the total outstanding share count and capital stock structure.
- Review subsequent filings for operational financial results (revenue, EBITDA, cash flow) as this 6-K focuses solely on corporate governance and capital allocation.
