ASUR ANNOUNCES THE TRANSFER OF TRIBASA’S STAKE IN INVERSIONES Y
TÉCNICAS AEROPORTUARIAS TO NACIONALFINANCIERA
Mexico City, January 8, 2004, Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A. de C.V. (NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR) announced the transfer of Triturados Basálticos y Derivados’, S.A. de C.V. (Tribasa) shares in ASUR’s strategic partner, Inversiones y Técnicas Aeroportuarias, S.A. de C.V. (ITA) to Nacional Financiera, S.N.C (NAFIN).
ITA, whose capital stock was held by four shareholders, Copenhagen Airports, Tribasa, Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte, S.A. (Cintra), Groupe GTM, S.A. became ASUR’s strategic partner when it acquired 15% of ASUR’s capital in 1998 as part of the privatization of the airport system in Mexico.
According to the original agreements signed by ASUR and the Mexican Federal Government, Copenhagen Airports, acting as ITA’s operating partner, and Tribasa, acting as the Mexican partner, were required to maintain their ownership stake in ITA for 15 years (except for transfers permitted under certain conditions provided in such agreements). These conditions were satisfied in connection with Tribasa’s transfer to NAFIN, and the transfer was approved by ASUR’s shareholders during its General Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on December 30, 2003.
Tribasa’s transfer of its stake in ITA to NAFIN was carried out as part of Tribasa’s settlement with its creditors. As a result, NAFIN is now ITA’s temporary Mexican partner, until its ownership stake is sold to another shareholder, who meets the requirements to be part of ITA as its Mexican partner.
