publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus
Directive, in each case, in relation to such offer. Neither we nor the initial purchasers have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of
any offer of Notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises for the Issuer or the initial purchasers to publish or supplement a prospectus
for such offer. Neither we nor the initial purchasers have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of Notes through any
financial intermediary, other than offers made by the initial purchasers, which constitute the final placement of the Notes contemplated in this

UK Financial Conduct Authority--Restrictions on marketing and sales to retail investors in the European
Economic Area

The Notes described in this offering memorandum are complex financial instruments and are not a suitable or
appropriate investment for all investors. In some jurisdictions, regulatory authorities have adopted or published laws,
regulations or guidance with respect to the offer or sale of securities such as the Notes to retail investors.

In particular, in June 2015, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA") published the Product Intervention
(Contingent Convertible Instruments and Mutual Society Shares) Instrument 2015 which took effect from October 1,
2015 (the "PI Instrument"). Under the rules set out in the PI Instrument (as amended or replaced from time to time,
the "PI Rules"); (i) certain contingent write-down or convertible securities (including any beneficial interests therein),
such as the Notes, must not be sold to retail clients in the EEA; and (ii) there must not be any communication or
approval of an invitation or inducement to participate in, acquire or underwrite such securities (or the beneficial
interest in such securities) where that invitation or inducement is addressed to or disseminated in such a way that it is
likely to be received by a retail client in the EEA (in each case within the meaning of the PI Rules), other than in
accordance with the limited exemptions set out in the PI Rules.

The initial purchasers are subject to, and required to comply with, the PI Rules, or, if not subject to the PI Rules, they
will comply with them as if they were subject to the PI Rules. By purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to
purchase, any Notes (or a beneficial interest in such Notes) from the Issuer and/or the initial purchasers, you represent,
warrant, agree with and undertake to the Issuer and each of the initial purchasers that:

(1) you are not a retail client in the EEA (as defined in the PI Rules);

(2) whether or not you are subject to the PI Rules, you will not (a) sell or offer the Notes (or any beneficial
interests therein) to retail clients in the EEA or (b) communicate (including the distribution of this offering
memorandum or approve an invitation or inducement to participate in, acquire or underwrite the Notes (or
any beneficial interests therein) where that invitation or inducement is addressed to or disseminated in such
a way that it is likely to be received by a retail client in the EEA (in each case within the meaning of the PI
Rules), in any such case other than (i) in relation to any sale or offer to sell the Notes (or any beneficial
interests therein) to a retail client in or resident in the United Kingdom, in circumstances that do not and will
not give rise to a contravention of the PI Rules by any person and/or (ii) in relation to any sale or offer to sell
the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) to a retail client in any EEA member state other than the United
Kingdom, where (x) you have conducted an assessment and concluded that the relevant retail client
understands the risks of an investment in the Notes (or such beneficial interests therein) and is able to bear
the potential losses involved in an investment in the Notes (or such beneficial interests therein) and (y) you
have at all times acted in relation to such sale or offer in compliance with the Markets in Financial Instruments
Directive (2004/39/EC) ("MiFID") to the extent it applies to you or, to the extent MiFID does not apply to
you, in a manner which would be in compliance with MiFID if it were to apply to you; and

(3) you will at all times comply with all applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance (whether inside or
outside the EEA) relating to the promotion, offering, distribution and/or sale of the Notes (or any beneficial
interests therein), including (without limitation) any such laws, regulations and regulatory guidance relating
to determining the appropriateness and/or suitability of an investment in the Notes (or any beneficial interests
therein) by investors in any relevant jurisdiction.

Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client when purchasing, or making or accepting an offer
to purchase, any Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) from the Issuer and/or the initial purchasers the foregoing
representations, warranties, agreements and undertakings will be given by and be binding upon both the agent and its
underlying client.



iv




For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions described above do not affect the distribution of the Notes in jurisdictions
outside of the EEA, such as in the United States provided that any distribution into the EEA complies with the PI
Rules.

NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS IN CHILE

The Notes will not be registered under the Ley de Mercado de Valores No. 18,045 (Chilean Securities Market Law),

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are a multi-purpose bank (institución de banca múltiple) incorporated in accordance with the laws of
Mexico with limited liability (sociedad anónima). Most of our directors and officers, as well as the experts named in
this offering memorandum, reside outside of the United States, and substantially all of their assets and our assets are
located outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for you to effect service of process within the
United States upon these persons or to enforce against them or against us in United States courts judgments predicated
upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. We have been advised by our internal counsel
that there is doubt as to the enforceability, in original actions in Mexican courts, of liabilities predicated solely on U.S.
federal securities laws and as to the enforceability in Mexican courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws.
We have been advised by Texas counsel that a money judgment rendered in Mexico for amounts due under
the Indenture or the Notes (other than a judgment for taxes, fines or other penalties) that has become final, conclusive
and enforceable under the judicial system of Mexico would generally be enforceable against the Issuer in a Texas
court if such judgment meets the requirements of the Uniform Foreign Country Money-Judgment Recognition Act as


vi




then in effect in the State of Texas and the judgment creditor complies with the applicable procedures for recognition.
However, a Texas court is not permitted to recognize a foreign money judgment that (i) was rendered under a judicial
system that does not provide impartial tribunal or procedures compatible with due process of law, (ii) if the Mexican
court did not have personal jurisdiction over the Issuer, or (iii) if the Mexican court did not have subject matter
jurisdiction over the matter. Moreover, a Texas court may determine not to recognize a foreign money judgment if
(a) the Issuer did not receive notice of the Mexican court proceeding in sufficient time to enable an adequate defense,
(b) the judgment was obtained by fraud that deprived the Issuer of an adequate opportunity to present its case, (c) the
cause of action or defense in such judgment is repugnant to the public policy of Texas, (d) the judgment conflicts with
another final and conclusive judgment, (e) the proceeding in the Mexican court was contrary to a settlement agreement
concerning the dispute, (f) personal jurisdiction was based only on personal service and the Mexican court was a
seriously inconvenient forum, (g) the judgment was rendered in circumstances that raise substantial doubt about the
integrity of the Mexican court with respect to the judgment, (h) the specific proceeding in the Mexican court leading
to the judgment was not compatible with due process of law or (i) a Mexican court would not recognize a comparable
judgment rendered by a Texas court. A Texas court would ordinarily only render or enforce a judgment for money
relating to the Indenture or the Notes in U.S. dollars.
