Grupo México will need to sell 10% stake in GAP

Grupo México tendrá que vender 10% de su participación en GAP

Intel ID : 226270
Synopsis

Grupo México (BMV:GMEXICO), a Mexico City-based mining company, will need to sell 10% of its stake in Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (BMV:GAP), a Guadalajara-based airport operator, reported El Financiero on 17 June, 2015, citing GAP’s lawyer, Virgilio Rincón.

Grupo México and GAP have been locked in a court battle since 2011, when the conglomerate attempted to acquire an additional 30% of GAP’s listed shares to obtain control of the company (see related transaction). That transaction breached the bylaws of the airport operator, which state that no single investor can own more than 10% of its listed shares.

On 17 June, Mexico’s supreme court ruled in favor of GAP, upholding these bylaws.

In April, Grupo México sold 1.4% of its shares and kept a stake of around 20% (see related transaction). Consequently, it will now be forced to sell an additional 10%, noted Rincón.

Grupo México (BMV:GMEXICO), empresa minera con sede en México D.F., tendrá que vender 10% de las acciones que tiene en Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (BMV:GAP), operadora de aeropuertos con sede en Guadalajara, ha publicado El Financiero el 17 de junio de 2015, citando al abogado de GAP, Virgilio Rincón.

Grupo México y GAP han estado en juicio desde 2011, cuando la minera trató de adquirir un 30% adicional de acciones de GAP en bolsa para obtener el control de la empresa (ver transacción relacionada). Dicha transacción incumplía los estatutos de la aeroportuaria, que establecen que un solo inversor no puede tener más del 10% de las acciones en circulación.

El 17 de junio, la suprema corte de México falló a favor de GAP, apoyando los estatutos.

En abril, Grupo México vendió 1,14% de sus acciones y llegó a una participación de alrededor del 20% (ver transacción relacionada). Por lo tanto, ahora deberá vender otro 10%, explicó Rincón.
