The selling stockholder
named in this prospectus supplement is offering 43,612,938 of our Series B

was US$53.13 per ADS and the last reported sales price of the Series B shares on the Mexican Stock
Exchange was Ps.67.00 per Series B share (US$5.22 per Series B Share at
an exchange rate of
Ps.12.8306 per U.S. dollar).

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the
accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein. We authorized
anyone to provide you with information that is different. This document may only be used where it

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
As used in this prospectus supplement, ASUR, we, our, us and the company refer to
Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with Normas de Informacion Financiera
(Financial Reporting Standards) accepted in Mexico (Mexican NIF), which differs in certain
significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (U.S.
GAAP). Note 19 to our annual financial statements included in our annual report on Form 20-F for
the year ended December 31, 2009, incorporated herein by reference (our 2009 Annual Report),
provides a description of the principal differences between Mexican NIF and U.S. GAAP as they
relate to our business, and a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of our net income and total stockholders
equity as of and for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009. In addition, see Results
of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 and 2010New Accounting Pronouncements and
Recent DevelopmentsAdoption of INIF 17 in this prospectus supplement for a discussion of recent
changes to Mexican NIF.
We publish our financial statements in Mexican pesos. Pursuant to Mexican NIF, financial data
throughout this prospectus supplement and our 2009 Annual Report are stated in constant pesos as of
December 31, 2007 for periods through and including December 31, 2007, and nominal pesos for
periods beginning on and after January 1, 2008. Mexican NIF provides that if the cumulative
inflation in Mexico measured by the índice nacional de precios al consumidor (national consumer
price index, or NCPI) in the most recent three-year period is less than 26%, we are required to
suspend recognition of the effects of inflation in our financial statements for the fiscal year
following such period. Because the cumulative NCPI in each of the three-year periods ended
December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 was below 26%, we suspended recognition of the effects of
inflation in our financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December
31, 2009 and as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010.
References in this prospectus supplement to dollars, U.S. dollars or US$ are to the
lawful currency of the United States of America. References in this prospectus supplement to
pesos or Ps. are to the lawful currency of Mexico.
This prospectus supplement contains translations of certain peso amounts into U.S. dollars at
specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. These translations should not be
construed as representations that the peso amounts actually represent such U.S. dollar amounts or
could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, U.S.
dollar amounts have been translated from Mexican pesos at an exchange rate of Ps.12.8306 to
US$1.00, the exchange rate for pesos on June 30, 2010 as published by the Federal Reserve Board.
On July 30, 2010, the exchange rate for pesos, as published by the Federal Reserve Board was
Ps.12.6421 to US$1.00.
This prospectus supplement contains references to workload units, which are units measuring
an airports passenger traffic volume and cargo volume. A workload unit currently is equivalent to
one terminal passenger or 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of cargo.

Our Company
Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V., or ASUR, was incorporated in Mexico in 1998
as part of the Mexican governments program for the opening of the countrys airports to
private-sector investment. We hold concessions to operate, maintain and develop nine airports in
the southeast region of Mexico for fifty years from November 1, 1998. We operate the airports
located in Cancún, Cozumel, Mérida, Huatulco, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Villahermos, Tapachula and
Minatitlán, Mexico. As operators of these airports, we charge airlines, passengers and other
airport users fees for the use of the airports facilities. We also derive rental and other income
from commercial activities conducted at our airports, such as the leasing of space to restaurants,
retailers, banks, car rental companies and other commercial service providers.
Our airports are located primarily in the southeast region of Mexico. Our concessions include
Cancún International Airport, which serves Cancún and its surrounding area, a principal tourist
destination for international and domestic travelers due to its beaches and cultural and
archeological sites. Cancún International Airport is the second busiest airport in Mexico, based on
passenger traffic in 2009, according to the Mexican Airport and Auxiliary Services Agency, and
represented 71.9% and 75.3% of our passenger traffic volume for 2009 and the six months ended June
30, 2010, respectively.
Despite the challenges faced by the global aviation industry as a result of the global
financial crisis and the H1N1 outbreak, we recorded revenues of Ps.3,131 million (US$244 million)
and net income of Ps.797 million (US$62 million) for 2009 and revenues of Ps.2,087 million
(US$163 million) and net income of Ps.775 million (US$60 million) for the six months ended June
30, 2010.
We are a publicly traded corporation (sociedad anonima bursatil de capital variable) organized
under the laws of Mexico. Our principal executive offices are located at Bosque de Alisos No. 47A
4th Floor, Bosques de las Lomas, 05120 Mexico, D.F, Mexico, and our telephone number is + 52 55
5284 0408. Our Series B shares have been listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange under the ticker
symbol ASUR, and our ADSs have been listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol
ASR, since 2000.
The following tables set forth the passenger volume and air traffic movements for each of our
airports during the periods indicated:

The majority of our revenues are derived from providing aeronautical services, which are
generally related to the use of our airport facilities by airlines and passengers. For example, in
2007, 2008, 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010, 67.9%, 66.3%, 65.2% and
58.8%, respectively, of our total revenues were derived from aeronautical services. Changes in our
revenues from aeronautical services are principally driven by passenger and cargo volume at our
airports. Our revenues from aeronautical services are also affected by the maximum rates we are
allowed to charge under the price regulation system established by the Mexican Ministry of
Communications and Transportation. The system of price regulation that applies to our aeronautical
revenues allows us to charge up to a maximum rate for each unit of traffic volume (which is
measured in workload units) at each airport. Thus, increases in aeronautical services, such as
passenger and cargo volume, and therefore the number of workload units that we handle, generate
greater aeronautical revenues. See Regulatory FrameworkPrice Regulation in our 2009 Annual
Report, incorporated herein by reference, for more information on our price regulation system.
We also derive revenue from non-aeronautical activities, principally related to the commercial
services offered at our airports, such as the leasing of space to restaurants, retailers and
service providers. Revenues from non-aeronautical activities are, for the most part, not subject
to maximum rate controls established by the Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation.
Thus, our non-aeronautical revenues are primarily affected by the mix of commercial services
offered at our airports, the contracts that we have with the providers of those commercial
services, our ability to increase the rates we charge to those service providers, and the passenger
volume at our airports.
Beginning January 1, 2010, as a result of the adoption of INIF 17, we also record revenues
related to construction services. Under INIF 17, our revenues related to construction services are
equal to the amount of capital expenditures we make to construct or improve our concessioned
assets. Because we contract with third parties to provide these services, we also record a
corresponding expense equal to the amount of revenue recorded in respect of construction services.
See Recent DevelopmentsAdoption of INIF 17.
The following table sets forth our revenues for aeronautical services and non-aeronautical
services for the periods indicated:

Our Strengths
We
believe the following are our principal business strengths:
Long-term concessions in attractive locations throughout Mexicos southeast region
Our nine airport concessions are for a period of fifty years beginning November 1, 1998. The
long duration of our concessions gives us stability, long-term planning horizons and the ability to
capture growth in the areas we serve.
Mexico is one of the main tourist destinations in the world. Mexico has historically ranked
in the top ten countries worldwide in terms of foreign visitors, with
approximately 21.5 million visitors in 2009, according to the Mexican Ministry of Tourism. Within
Latin America and the Caribbean, Mexico ranked first in 2009 in terms of number of foreign visitors
and income from tourism, according to the World Tourism Organization. Within Mexico, many of our
airports serve tourist destinations, principally in the southeast region, which has beaches and
cultural and archeological sites with numerous hotels and resorts.
Cancún is the second busiest airport in Mexico in terms of passenger traffic
Cancún and its surrounding area was the most frequently visited international tourism
destination in Mexico in 2009, according to the Mexican Ministry of Tourism. Cancún International
Airport represented 69.8%, 71.2%, 71.9% and 75.3% of our passenger traffic volume and 75.7%, 77.3%,
77.3%, and 73.9% of our revenues for 2007, 2008, 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010,
respectively. At June 30, 2010, Cancún had approximately 29,031 hotel rooms, according to the
Cancún Hotel Association, an increase of approximately 26.4% compared to June 30, 2007.
Despite the recent challenges in the global aviation industry, tourism in Cancún has been
resilient; passenger traffic volume increased 8.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2010
compared to the same period in 2009, after a decline of 12.5% in 2009 due to the global financial
crisis and the HIN1 outbreak.
Established regulatory framework with a dual-till regulated revenue structure
The Mexican airport concession regulatory framework was enacted in 1998. We are subject to a
dual-till system of price regulation, under which certain of our revenues, such as passenger
charges, landing charges, aircraft parking charges and access fees from third parties providing
complementary services at our airports, are regulated, while the revenues that we earn from
commercial activities in our terminals, such as the leasing of space to duty-free stores,
retailers, restaurants, car rental companies and banks, are not regulated. The maximum rate for
our regulated services is established on a per-workload unit (equal to one passenger or 100
kilograms (220 pounds) of cargo). Our maximum rates are determined in pesos in five-year intervals
based on various factors, including our projections of traffic, capital expenditures and efficiency
improvements, and are adjusted monthly based on the Mexican producer price index. Our maximum
rates were last set in March 2009 and are in effect through December 31, 2013. We are the only
Mexican airport operator to have undergone three rate setting processes since the privatization of
certain Mexican airports in 1998.
Balanced mix of international and domestic passenger traffic and diversified airline revenue base
Over 8.8 million international passengers passed through our airports in 2009, representing
56.6% of our total passenger traffic, and the highest number of international passengers among
publicly-traded Mexican airport operators. Our balanced mix of international and domestic
passengers helped mitigate the effects of the global economic crisis, as evidenced by the compound
annual growth of 4.1% in passenger traffic we experienced at our airports from 2006 to 2009,
despite the global economic crisis, hurricanes and the H1N1 outbreak. Our growth in passenger
traffic between 2006 and 2009 exceeded that of overall Mexican passenger traffic, which experienced
a compound annual growth rate of only 0.8%, according to the Mexican National Statistical, Geographic and Information Institute.
In addition, our business is not dependent on any one of our airline customers. In 2009, we
served 15 domestic and 85 international airlines and no single airline customer represented more
than 10.3% of our total aeronautical revenues.
S-3
Successful commercial business strategy
Our revenue from non-aeronautical activities is principally related to the commercial services
offered at our airports, such as the leasing of space to restaurants, retailers and service
providers, which are not subject to price regulation. Since our inception in 1998, we have
continuously worked to increase our non-aeronautical revenues through strategies such as remodeling
terminals in our airports to optimize passenger flow through commercial areas, carefully selecting
the appropriate mix of merchants and restaurants, achieving more favorable terms in lease
agreements with merchants and providing more attractive space for advertising in our airports.
Commercial revenue as a percentage of our total revenue has grown from 8.1% in 1999 to 30.1% and 26.6% in 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
Furthermore, our commercial revenue per passenger has increased from Ps.7.4 in 1999 to
approximately Ps.60.6 in each of 2009 and the six months ended June 30, 2010. We now have the
highest commercial revenue as a percentage of total revenue and the highest commercial revenue per
passenger among Mexicos publicly-traded airport operators.
Operating platform well-positioned for passenger traffic recovery
Despite major exogenous events such as the H1N1 outbreak, significant increases in crude oil
prices and the global financial crisis that impacted the flow of passenger traffic at our airports
from 2007 to 2009, our operating margins (operating income divided by total revenues, expressed as
a percentage) have increased during this period. Our operating margins have increased from 41.9%
in 2007 to 42.7% in 2009 and 50.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. A significant part of
our costs tends to increase proportionally less than corresponding increases in passengers and
revenues. In fact, due to our operating platform and cost control efforts, we have recorded
compound annual growth in net income between 2006 and 2009 of 14.7% in nominal Mexican peso
terms, while our passenger traffic during this same period grew by only 4.1%. In addition, we
believe that a substantial portion of our operating costs are fixed in nature. As a result, we
believe that we are well-positioned to benefit from our operating platform if passenger traffic
recovers.
Over twelve years of operating experience and a long-serving management team with a proven track
record of operational excellence and high corporate governance standards
We began operations in 1998. Our senior management team has an average tenure with the company
of nine years, and has managed our growth and profitability, even as we experienced major
catastrophic events, such as the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, numerous hurricanes, the
global financial crisis and the H1N1 outbreak of 2009. Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
Fernando Chico Pardo has been a director in our company since 2005 and became CEO in 2007. Our
Chief Financial Officer, Adolfo Castro, has been with us since 2000. In addition, we have received
various awards from international institutions. Most recently, Airports Council International (ACI)
named Cancún International Airport the best airport in Latin America and the Caribbean and third
best worldwide in terms of customer services for 2009, and also awarded it the Best Improvement in
Service Quality award in 2009. In addition, we believe we have world-class corporate governance
standards, with four of our seven board members being independent (in accordance with Mexican
standards), an independent audit committee (in accordance with New York Stock Exchange standards)
and compliance with U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act regulations since 2008.
Our Business Strategy
We intend to capitalize on our principal business strengths and continue to pursue the
following strategies:
Further develop our commercial business
We have substantially increased our revenue from commercial activities since our inception
through the implementation of several successful strategies. We plan to continue to focus on
enhancing customer service quality and the efficiency of our airport operations. We constantly
monitor the overall customer experience in our airports and seek to identify areas for improvement.
We also work closely with the concessionaires who operate commercial activities in our airports to
identify the appropriate service, product and price mix to offer our passenger base. In addition,
we focus on improving the terms of the commercial arrangements with our concessionaires. Moreover,
we design our investment projects with a view to maximizing the passenger experience.
Seek to increase our passenger volumes
We are continuously coordinating with federal and state tourism authorities and hotel
associations to promote tourist destinations in which our airports are located with the objective
of increasing the frequency of flights, new routes, size of planes and offered seats. We also work
to develop our airport marketing efforts with our airline customers, travel agents and tour
operators.
S-4
Improve our capital structure
From our inception through May 1, 2009, we had not incurred any debt financing. In May 2009,
we entered into credit agreements for up to Ps.750 million pesos, and going forward, we intend to
continue financing a portion of our capital expenditures or of any new projects with debt in order
to improve our capital structure.
Monitor new business opportunities
While we have not invested in airport facilities outside of our nine airport concessions in
Mexico since our inception, we monitor airport opportunities in certain countries throughout the
Americas. There are countries in Latin America that are currently evaluating potential airport
privatizations and we intend to explore these opportunities as they become available.
It is currently our intention to participate in the Mexican governments public bidding
process for a new Riviera Maya airport concession. We cannot assure you that we will participate,
that we would be successful if we did participate, that the Mexican Federal Competition Commission
will permit us to participate in the bidding process, or under what conditions we will be permitted
to participate.
Recent Developments
Challenge to Riviera Maya Bidding Process
On May 11, 2010, the Mexican federal government initiated a public bidding process for a
concession to build and operate a new airport in the Riviera Maya region, which is currently served
primarily by Cancún International Airport. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to the Regulation of
Our BusinessThe Mexican government could grant new concessions that compete with our airports,
including the Cancún International Airport in our 2009 Annual Report, incorporated by reference
herein.
On June 25, 2010, we filed a challenge (amparo) against the bidding process for the Riviera
Maya Airport in the first district court of Mexico. The court has agreed to consider the challenge
but did not grant our request for an injunction to temporarily stop the bidding process for the
Riviera Maya airport concession.
ASUR to Adopt IFRS Beginning In 2011
All Mexican issuers are required to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards, or
IFRS, as their accounting standard, no later than fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
2012. We intend to adopt IFRS as our accounting standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1,
2011. We are currently evaluating the impact
that the adoption of IFRS may have on our results of operations, balance sheet, and statement of
cash flows. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our OperationsThe adoption of IFRS may result in
changes to our results of operations, balance sheet and statement of cash flows in this prospectus
supplement.
Copenhagen Airports Agrees to Sell Its Ownership Interest in ITA
On June 22, 2010, Copenhagen Airports A/S (CPH) entered into an agreement to sell its 49%
aggregate interest in Inversiones y Tecnicas Aeroportuarias, S.A. de C.V., or ITA, to CPHs local
Mexican business partner and our CEO and Chairman, Fernando Chico Pardo. ITA is our strategic
partner and the holder of our Series BB shares, which have special voting and management rights.
See Description of Our Capital Stock in the accompanying prospectus for more information on the
Series BB shares. Consummation of CPHs sale of its stake in ITA to Fernando Chico Pardo is
conditioned upon, among other things, approval by the Mexican authorities, including the Ministry
of Communications and Transportation. We cannot assure you that such approvals will be obtained.
If the sale is completed, CPH will no longer hold any interest in ITA, however, our Technical
Assistance Agreement with ITA will continue in force until its scheduled termination. See Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsOperating CostsTechnical Assistance Fee and
Government Concession Fee in our 2009 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference, for a
discussion of the technical assistance fee.
S-5
Adoption of INIF 17
On
July 30, 2010, we announced that we had concluded our analysis of the effects of the adoption
of Interpretación de Norma de Información Financiera (Interpretation of Financial Reporting
Standard, or INIF) 17, Service Concession Contracts. INIF 17 was issued by the Consejo
Mexicano para la Investigación y Desarrollo de Normas de Información Financiera, A.C. (Mexican
Financial Reporting Standards Board, or CINIF) and became effective in 2010. This new standard
arose from the need to provide clarification on the accounting treatment to be followed for service
concession contracts for services that are considered public in nature. INIF 17 incorporates into
NIF C-3 the accounting treatment for the present value of the recognition of a long term
receivable, and additionally, it modifies NIF D-7 to allow the recognition of executed and approved
work to be collected or work to be approved as a non-current asset.
The following are the principal effects of INIF 17 on our results of operation and balance
sheet:
|
|
|
New category of revenues and cost. Under INIF 17, an operator of a service
concession that is required to make capital improvements to concessioned assets, such as
us, is deemed to provide construction or upgrade services. As a result, the operator is
required to account for the revenues and expenses relating to those services. In our case,
because we hire a third party to provide construction and upgrade services, our revenues
relating to construction or upgrade services are equal to our expenses for those services.
Revenues related to construction and upgrade services are presented in a new category of
revenues called Construction services and expenses related to construction and upgrade
services are presented in a new category of expenses called Costs of construction. |
|
|
|
|
Intangible assets and change in amortization rates. Under INIF 17, all
infrastructure to which an operator of a service concession is given access by the grantor
of the concession service agreement and the upgrades to that infrastructure made by the
operator are recognized as an intangible asset. These assets are amortized over the
concession period. As a result, we are required to include all fixed assets under Airport
Concessions, net and to modify amortization rates in accordance with the remaining period
of the concession, using the straight line method, for those fixed assets constructed or
acquired in the past. Previously we amortized fixed assets based on the estimated
remaining useful life of the particular asset. |
The effects of INIF 17 are reflected in our
unaudited interim financial statements as of and for
the six months ending June 30, 2010, and include the following net changes to our income statement:
|
|
|
an increase of Ps.217.7 million in revenues, all of which is attributable to the
new category of revenues called Construction services; |
|
|
|
|
an increase of Ps.217.7 million in operating expenses, all of which is
attributable to the new category of expenses called Costs of construction; |
|
|
|
|
a decrease of Ps.132.0 million in depreciation and
amortization; and |
|
|
|
|
an increase of Ps.19.7 million in deferred income tax and an increase of Ps.9.7
million in deferred IETU (Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Unica). |
Because of these net changes to our income statement, the adoption of INIF 17 resulted in an
increase in net income of Ps.102.6 million during the first half of 2010.
In addition, the
adoption of INIF 17 resulted in the following net changes to our
balance sheet as of June 30, 2010:
|
|
|
a net increase of Ps.693.0 million in total assets; |
|
|
|
|
a net increase of Ps.165.1 million in total liabilities; and |
|
|
|
|
a net increase of Ps.527.9 million in stockholders equity. |

RISK FACTORS
We have set forth risk factors in our 2009 Annual Report incorporated herein by reference. We
have also set forth below additional risk factors related to developments since our 2009 Annual
Report. We may include further risk factors in subsequent reports on Form 6-K incorporated in the
prospectus of which this prospectus supplement forms part. You should carefully consider all these
risk factors in addition to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this
prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus before making an investment decision regarding
the ADSs and Series B shares.
Risks Related to Our Operations
Fernando Chico Pardo, through his own investment vehicles and his interest in Inversiones y
Tecnicas Aeroportuarias, S.A. de C.V., or ITA, has a significant influence as a stockholder and
over our management, and his interests may differ from those of other stockholders.
Servicios Estrategia Patrimonial, S.A. de C.V. (formerly, Agrupación Aeroportuaria
Internacional, S.A. de C.V.) and Agrupación Aeroportuaria Internacional II, S.A. de C.V., entities
indirectly owned and controlled by Fernando Chico Pardo, now own approximately 25.4% of our capital
stock.
In addition, ITA, an entity, which, assuming consummation of the sale of Copenhagen Airports
A/Ss interest to Mr. Chico Pardo, will be owned 100% by Mr. Chico Pardo, holds Series BB shares
representing 7.65% of our capital stock. See Recent DevelopmentsCopenhagen Airports
Agrees to Sell Its Ownership Interest in ITA. These Series BB shares provide it with special
management rights. For example, pursuant to our bylaws, ITA is entitled to present the board of
directors the name or names of the candidates for appointment as chief executive officer, to remove
our chief executive officer and to appoint and remove one half of the executive officers, and to
elect two members of our board of directors. Our bylaws also provide ITA veto rights with respect
to certain corporate actions (including some requiring approval of our stockholders) so long as its
Series BB shares represent at least 7.65% of our capital stock. Special rights granted to ITA are
more fully described in Additional Information and Major Stockholders and Related Party
Transactions in our 2009 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference.
As a result of this ownership and these transactions, Mr. Chico Pardo, who is also the
Chairman of our Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer, directly and indirectly, would
own 33.04% of our total capital stock, and is able to exert a significant influence over our
management and matters requiring the approval of our stockholders. The interests of Mr. Chico
Pardo may differ from those of our other stockholders, and there can be no assurance that Mr. Chico
Pardo will exercise his rights in ways that favor the interests of our other stockholders.
Furthermore, this concentration of ownership by Mr. Chico Pardo and the special rights indirectly
granted to Mr. Chico Pardo through his ownership in ITA may have the effect of impeding a merger,
consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving ASUR.
The effects of oil spills could adversely affect our business.
The Gulf of Mexico is the site of widespread deepwater oil drilling and extraction. Deepwater
oil drilling inherently carries a number of significant risks.
On April 20, 2010, there was an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform
operated by BP in the Gulf of Mexico. The oil-drilling platform was located approximately 41 miles
from the coast of Louisiana. The explosion and sinking of the platform caused a huge oil spill
that is spreading along the U.S. coast in the Gulf of Mexico, and has reached parts of Florida,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Texas. BP has made several attempts to try to contain the
spill and capture the oil. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, it is not known whether
those attempts have been successful.
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has estimated that hurricane season
this year in the Gulf of Mexico may be more severe than usual. According to experts, the sea
currents in the Gulf of Mexico will be changing over the coming months with the development of
weather patterns that could cause the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico to reach the Mexican coast.
Some experts have said the oil spill caused by the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon
platform could become the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history. We do not know whether the
spill will reach the coast of Mexico or the extent of ecological
S-9
damage that may result to areas served by our airports. Some estimates indicate that the
worst of the damage may not be fully known or realized until October or November of 2010.
If the spill reaches destinations served by our airports or if other oil spills or similar
disasters occur, these destinations could be adversely affected, thereby reducing our volume of
passenger traffic. Oil spills or other similar disasters in or around the destinations used by our
airport could adversely affect our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition.
The adoption of IFRS may result in changes to our results of operations, balance sheet and
statement of cash flows.
All Mexican issuers are required to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards, or
IFRS, as their accounting standard, no later than fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
2012. We intend to adopt IFRS as our accounting standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1,
2011. We are currently evaluating the impact
that the adoption of IFRS may have on our results of operations, balance sheet, and statement of
cash flows. Because IFRS differs in certain material respects from Mexican FRS, we cannot assure
you that the adoption of IFRS will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations,
balance sheet, and statement of cash flows.
The
recent bankruptcy filing by Mexicana may affect our business and results of operations.
The global airline
industry has recently experienced and continues to experience significant financial difficulties, marked by the filing for bankruptcy
protection of several carriers and warnings regarding industry
profitability. On August 2, 2010, Mexicana,
one of Mexicos two largest carriers, filed for bankruptcy
protection in Mexico and the United States. Mexicana (not including Mexicana Click, formerly
known as Aerovίas Caribe, or Mexicana Link, which are reportedly not
under financial distress and were not part of the bankruptcy filing) accounted for Ps.62.2 million in accounts receivable at June 30, 2010 and accounted for 4.1% of our revenues
for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 4.3% of our revenues for
the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily from domestic
passengers. Although we anticipate that
a significant portion
of Mexicanas traffic would migrate to other carriers if its operations were curtailed, we do not have contracts with any
airlines, including Mexicana, that obligate them to continue providing service to our airports, and we can offer no assurance that
competing airlines would seek to increase their flight schedules if
Mexicana reduced its use of our airports. If Mexicana were to cease
operations as a result of its bankruptcy filing, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected if
traffic does not migrate to our other airline customers.
The FAA downgraded Mexicos air safety rating to Category 2, which may
result in a decrease in air traffic between the United States and our airports.
On July 30, 2010,
the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced that, following an assessment of the countrys civil
aviation authority, it had determined that Mexico was not in compliance with international safety standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO), and, as a result, downgraded Mexicos aviation safety rating from Category 1 to Category 2. Under FAA regulations,
because of this downgrade, Mexican airlines will not be permitted to expand or change their current operations between
the United States and Mexico except under certain limited circumstances, code-sharing arrangements between Mexican and
U.S. airlines may be suspended, and operations by Mexican airlines flying to the United States will be subject to greater FAA
oversight. These additional regulatory requirements may result in reduced service between our airports and the United States
by Mexican airlines or an increase in the cost of that service, which may result in a decrease in demand for travel between our
airports and the United States. Approximately 1.6% of the passengers that traveled through our airports traveled on flights to or
from the United States operated by Mexican airlines in each of 2009 and the first six months of 2010, respectively. We cannot predict what impact the downgrade of the Mexican aviation safety rating will have on our passenger traffic or results of operations, or on the public perception of the safety of Mexican airports.
Risks Relating to the ADSs and Series B shares
Future sales of shares by us and our stockholders may depress the price of our Series B shares and
ADSs.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock or the perception that such future
sales may occur, may depress the price of our ADSs and Series B shares. Neither our stockholders
(other than the selling stockholder in this offering) nor our directors and officers will be
subject to any lock-up agreements in connection with the offering, and as a result, they will be
able to freely transfer their Series B shares immediately following the offering. Any such sale
may lead to a decline in the price of our ADSs and Series B shares. We cannot assure you that the
price of our ADSs and Series B shares would recover from any such decline in value.
S-10
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of ADSs or Series B shares by the selling
stockholder.
S-11
EXCHANGE RATES
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high, low, average and
period-end, free-market exchange rate expressed in pesos per U.S. dollar. The average annual rates
presented in the following table were calculated using the average of the exchange rates on the
last day of each month during the relevant period. The data provided in this table is based on
noon buying rates published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for cable transfers in pesos
for the periods ended December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2008. The Federal Reserve Bank of New
York discontinued the publication of foreign exchange rates on December 31, 2008, and therefore,
the data provided for the periods beginning January 1, 2009 are based on the rates published by the
U.S. Federal Reserve Board in its H.10 Weekly Release of Foreign Exchange Rates. We have not
restated the rates in constant currency units. All amounts are stated in pesos. We make no
representation that the peso amounts referred to in this prospectus supplement could have been or
could be converted into U.S. dollars at any particular rate or at all.

Board H.10 Weekly Release (2009-2010). |
Except for the period from September through December 1982, during a liquidity crisis,
the Mexican Central Bank has consistently made foreign currency available to Mexican private-sector
entities (such as us) to meet their foreign currency obligations. Nevertheless, in the event of
renewed shortages of foreign currency, there can be no assurance that foreign currency would
continue to be available to private-sector companies or that foreign currency needed by us to
service foreign currency obligations or to import goods could be purchased in the open market
without substantial additional cost.
Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the peso and the U.S. dollar will affect the U.S.
dollar value of securities traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange, and, as a result, will likely also
affect the market price of the ADSs. Such fluctuations will also affect the U.S. dollar conversion
by the depositary of any cash dividends paid in pesos.
On
December 31, 2009, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York noon
buying rate was Ps.13.06 per
US$1.00. On July 30, the exchange rate for pesos, as published by the Federal Reserve Board was
Ps.12.6421 to US$1.00.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING INFORMATION
The following tables present a summary of our consolidated financial and operating information
and that of our subsidiaries for each of the periods indicated. This information should be read in
conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our financial statements,
including the notes thereto. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with Mexican NIF,
which differs in certain significant respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States, or U.S. GAAP. Note 19 to our audited annual consolidated financial statements
included in our 2009 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference, provides a description of the
principal differences between Mexican NIF and U.S. GAAP as they relate to our business.
Information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010 has been derived from,
should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our unaudited
consolidated interim financial statements and the notes thereto, included in this prospectus
supplement. The unaudited financial information presented below has been prepared on the same
basis as our audited annual consolidated financial statements, and, in our opinion, includes all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of
our financial condition and results of operation as of the dates and for the periods specified.
Results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 are not, however, necessarily indicative of results
to be expected for the full year 2010.

In 2010, we adopted Mexican INIF 17, Service Concession Contracts, which requires
us to classify revenues and expenses from construction and improvements to concessioned assets
under the line items Construction services and Cost of construction. In addition, INIF 17
requires us to reclassify all fixed assets as intangible assets under Airport concessions,
net. INIF 17 also requires |

|
|
|
|
|
us to include all fixed assets under Airport Concessions, net and to modify amortization rates
in accordance with the remaining period of the concession, using the straight line method, for
those fixed assets constructed or acquired since 2008. Previously we amortized fixed assets
based on the estimated remaining useful life of the particular asset. As a result, our results as of and for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 may not be comparable to prior periods. See Recent DevelopmentsAdoption of INIF 17. |

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 AND 2010
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is entirely qualified by
reference to, our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements as of and for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and the notes thereto, included in this prospectus supplement. Our
unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Mexican
NIF, which differs in certain significant respects from U.S. GAAP. Our results of operations for
the six-month period ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the entire fiscal year. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with
Operating and Financial Review and Prospects in our 2009 Annual Report, incorporated herein by
reference.
Our results
as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 include the effects of INIF 17 and, as a result, may not be comparable to prior periods. See Recent DevelopmentsAdoption of INIF 17.
Passenger Traffic
For the first half of 2010, total passenger traffic increased by 8.8% as compared to the first
half of 2009. International passenger traffic increased by 11.4% while domestic passenger traffic
increased by 4.8%. The 11.4% increase in international passenger traffic resulted mainly from an
increase of 11.7%, 12.5%, 17.7% and 11.0% in international traffic at the Cancún, Mérida, Veracruz
and Villahermosa airports, respectively. The 4.8% increase in domestic passenger traffic resulted
mainly from increases of 11.1%, 12.6%, and 3.4% in domestic traffic at the Cancún, Mérida and
Veracruz airports, respectively.
On April 28, 2009, the World Health Organization announced the outbreak of the H1N1 Influenza
in Mexico. Mainly as a result of the outbreak and the global recession, total passenger traffic in
2009 declined 2.1% in April, 50.7% in May, 28.4% in June, 16.7% in July, 12.8% in August, 10.7% in
September, 7.2% in October, 7.1% in November and 4.1% in December, as compared to the corresponding
months in 2008. During 2010, total passenger traffic declined by 4.6% in January, 6.9% in
February, increased 0.2% in March, decreased 0.9% in April, and increased 85.8% in May and 25.5% in
June, as compared to the corresponding months in 2009.

Consolidated Results
Consolidated revenues for the first half of 2010 increased by 25.5% as compared to the first
half of 2009 to Ps.2,087.1 million. This was mainly due to: increases of 13.3% in revenues from
aeronautical services, principally as a result of the 8.8% increase in passenger traffic during the
period and 10.8% in revenues from non-aeronautical services, principally as a result of the 10.3%
rise in commercial revenues detailed below; and initial recognition of Ps.217.7 million in revenues
from construction services as a result of our adoption of INIF 17. See Recent
DevelopmentsAdoption of INIF 17 in this prospectus supplement. Total revenues per workload unit
increased 14.8% from Ps.196.4 in the first half of 2009 to Ps.225.4 in the first half of
2010 due to a 25.5% increase in revenues which more than offset the 9.4% increase in workload units
from 8.5 million in the first half of 2009 to 9.3 million in the first half of 2010.
Our consolidated revenues from aeronautical services, net of rebates, increased 13.3% to Ps.1,
227.4 million in the first half of 2010 from Ps.1,083.6 million in the first half of 2009.
Revenues from passenger charges increased 14.4% to Ps. 949.1 million over the same period in 2010
(77.3% of our aeronautical revenues during the period) from Ps.829.5 million in the first half of
2009 (76.6% of our aeronautical revenues during the period), principally because of an increase in
passenger volume and an increase in rates that took effect in the third quarter of 2009. See Information on the CompanyRegulatory FrameworkPrice Regulation-Current Maximum Rates in
our 2009 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference, for a discussion of the increase in
maximum rates. Aeronautical revenues per workload unit increased 3.6% from Ps.128.0 in the first
half of 2009 to Ps.132.6 in the first half of 2010.
Revenues from non-aeronautical services increased 10.8% to Ps.642.0 million in the first half
of 2010 from Ps.579.5 million in the first half of 2009. The primary factor influencing the change
in non-aeronautical revenue was a 10.3% increase in commercial revenues, in large part due to the
8.8% increase in passenger volume. There were increases in revenues of: 7.0% in duty-free stores;
11.9% in retail operations; 14.8% in food and beverage; 68.9% in banking and currency exchange
services; 17.2% in car rentals; 25.7% in ground transportation services and 9.1% in other revenues.
These increases were partially offset by revenue declines of: 5.7% in parking lot fees; 9.2% in
advertising; and 23.1% in teleservices. Non-aeronautical revenue per terminal passenger increased
1.3%, to Ps.69.3 per passenger in the first half of 2010 from Ps.68.4 per passenger in the first
half of 2009.
Our revenues from regulated sources in the first half of 2010 were Ps.1,287.5 million, a 12.9%
increase compared to Ps.1,140.2 million during the first half of 2009, mainly due to the increase
in total passenger traffic of 8.8%. During the first half of 2010, Ps.581.9 million of our
revenues was derived from non-regulated sources, a 11.3% increase from the Ps.522.9 million of
revenues derived from non-regulated sources for the first half of 2009. This increase was
primarily due to the 10.3% increase in commercial revenues described above, from Ps.502.7 million
in the first half of 2009 to Ps.554.5 million in 2010. See Operating and Financial
Review and ProspectsClassification of Revenues and Price Regulation in our 2009 Annual Report,
incorporated herein by reference, for a discussion of our price regulation system.
Total operating expenses for the first half of 2010 increased 16.0% as compared to the first
half of 2009. This was primarily due to: increases of 45.4% in general and administrative
expenses, principally in labor costs resulting from the reassignment of employees from certain
operating areas of Cancún airport (whose employee costs are recorded as a cost of service) to
corporate (whose employee costs are recorded as a general and administrative expense) and higher
professional fees; 4.9% in cost of services resulting from the increase in passenger traffic and
higher energy cost and equipment lease charges; 13.3% in technical assistance fees, reflecting the
corresponding increase in our consolidated earnings before comprehensive financing costs, income
taxes, and
S-19
depreciation and amortization, which is the basis used to determine the technical assistance
fees during the period; and 14.3% in concession fees paid to the Mexican government, mainly due to
higher revenues and an increase in the taxable base (a factor in the calculation of the fee); as
well as initial recognition of Ps.217.7 million in costs of construction services as a result of
our adoption of INIF 17. See Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsOperating
CostsTechnical Assistance Fee and Government Concession Fee in our 2009 Annual Report,
incorporated herein by reference, for a discussion of the technical assistance and government
concession fees, and Recent DevelopmentsAdoption of INIF 17 in this prospectus supplement for a
discussion of the adoption of INIF 17. These increases were partially offset by a 43.5% decline in
depreciation and amortization resulting from the difference between new investments in fixed
assets, improvements made to concession assets and the end of their useful life and from the
adoption of INIF 17, which requires us to amortize fixed assets constructed or acquired since 2008
in accordance with the remaining period of the concession, using the straight line method, whereas
before, these assets were amortized in accordance with their estimated remaining useful life. Our
operating expenses per workload unit increased 6.0% from Ps.105.39 in the first half of 2009 to
Ps.111.75 in the first half of 2010.
Our
operating margin increased to 50.4% in the first half of 2010 from 46.3% in the first half
of 2009. This was mainly the result of a 25.5% increase in revenues that more than offset the
16.0% increase in operating expenses during the period.
Comprehensive financing cost for the first half of 2010 declined by Ps.8.0 million compared to the first half of 2009. During the first half of 2010, we reported net interest income of Ps.8 million, an exchange rate net gain of Ps.7.8 million and a mark-to-market loss in an interest rate swap of Ps.2.3 million. Net interest income resulted from interest income of Ps.25.3
million and accrued interest expense of Ps.17.3 million.
Income Taxes
Following the changes in Mexican tax law that took effect January 1, 2008, which established a
new flat rate business tax (Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Unica, or IETU) and eliminated the asset
tax, we evaluated and reviewed our deferred assets and liabilities position under Mexican NIF.
Under current tax law, our airports are taxed based on the higher of IETU or income tax. Any
IETU amounts paid during the taxable year are applied to offset income tax liabilities. The
provision for income taxes for the first half of 2010 declined by 7.2% to Ps.289.9 million,
compared to Ps.312.5 million in the first half of 2009.
Of
the total Ps.22.6 million reduction in income taxes, our provision for IETU decreased by
Ps.66.9 million, which was partially offset by a Ps.44.3 million increase in the provision for
income taxes as compared to the first half of 2009 because we currently estimate that Cancún
airport will generate income tax liability rather than IETU in 2010.

Net income for the first half of 2010 increased 65.9% to Ps.775.1 million from Ps.467.2
million in the first half of 2009. Earnings per ordinary (Series B and Series BB) share for the
first half of 2010 were Ps.2.5838, or earnings of US$2.0116 per ADS (one ADS represents ten Series
B shares). This compares with earnings of Ps.1.5572 per ordinary share, or earnings of US$1.2124
per ADS, for the first half of 2009.
Balance Sheet
On June 30, 2010, Airport Concessions represented 84.8% of our total assets, with current
assets representing 11.7% and other assets representing 3.5%.
Cash and marketable securities on June 30, 2010 were Ps.590.7 million, a 38.6% decline from
Ps.961.4 million on December 31, 2009. This was mainly the result of a Ps.750.0 million cash dividend
paid in the second quarter of 2010 and bank loan payments in May and June of 2010 totalling
Ps.363.6 million.
Stockholders equity as of June 30, 2010 was Ps.14,308.1 million and total liabilities were
Ps.2,954.4 million, representing 82.9% and 17.1% of total assets, respectively. Total deferred tax
liabilities represented 77.3% of our total liabilities.
S-20
Capital Expenditures
During the first half of 2010, we made investments of Ps.217.7 million as part of our ongoing
plan to modernize our airports pursuant to our master development plans.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the first six months of 2010, we generated Ps.1,250.7 million in cash flow from operating
activities. Cash flow used in financing activities was Ps.1,409.4 million, as a result of payment
of dividends of Ps.750.0 million and Ps.295.7 million of tax on dividends paid, and Ps.363.6
million in amortization of our bank loans. Cash flow used in investing activities in the first six
months of 2010 was Ps.212.0 million, principally for purchases of machinery, furniture, equipment
and construction expenses related to our concessioned assets.
Total bank debt at June 30, 2010 was Ps.187.6 million. This reflects borrowings of
Ps.600.0 million incurred in May and June 2009, total principal payments of Ps.418.2 million made
in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first half of 2010, and interest payable of Ps.5.8
million generated during the first half of 2010.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Mexican NIFs B-5 (Financial Information by Segments), B-9 (Financial Information at Interim
Dates), C-1 (Cash and Cash Equivalents) and INIF 17 (Service Concession Contracts), issued by
the CINIF, went into effect on January 1, 2010. We believe that these reporting standards and
interpretation will not have a significant impact on our financial information with the
exception of INIF 17, which addresses the accounting standards to be applied to concession
contracts which require improvements to be made to concessioned assets. See Recent
DevelopmentsAdoption of INIF 17 in this prospectus supplement.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Challenge to Riviera Maya Bidding Process
On May 11, 2010, the Mexican federal government initiated a public bidding process for a
concession to build and operate a new airport in the Riviera Maya region, which is currently served
primarily by Cancún International Airport. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to the Regulation of
Our BusinessThe Mexican government could grant new concessions that compete with our airports,
including the Cancún International Airport in our 2009 Annual Report, incorporated by reference
herein.
On June 25, 2010, we filed a challenge (amparo) against the bidding process for the Riviera
Maya Airport in the first district court of Mexico. The court has agreed to consider the challenge
but did not grant our request for an injunction to temporarily stop the bidding process for the
Riviera Maya airport concession. It is currently our intention to participate in the public
bidding process for this airport, but we cannot assure you that we will participate, that we would
be successful if we did participate, that the Comision Federal de Competencia (Federal Competition
Commission) will permit us to participate in the bidding process, or under what conditions we will
be permitted to participate.
ASUR to Adopt IFRS Beginning In 2011
All Mexican issuers are required to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards, or
IFRS, as their accounting standard, no later than fiscal years beginning on or after January 1,
2012. We intend to adopt IFRS as our accounting standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1,
2011. We are currently evaluating the impact
that the adoption of IFRS may have on our results of operations, balance sheet, and statement of
cash flows. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to Our OperationsThe adoption of IFRS may result in
changes to our results of operations, balance sheet and statement of cash flows in this prospectus
supplement.
Copenhagen Airports Agrees to Sell Its Ownership Interest in ITA
On June 22, 2010, Copenhagen Airports A/S (CPH) entered into an agreement to sell its 49%
aggregate interest in Inversiones y Tecnicas Aeroportuarias, S.A. de C.V., or ITA, to CPHs local
Mexican business partner and our CEO and Chairman, Fernando Chico Pardo. ITA is our strategic
partner and the holder of our Series BB shares, which have special voting and management rights.
See Description of Our Capital Stock in the accompanying prospectus for more information on the
Series BB shares. Consummation of CPHs sale of its stake in ITA to Fernando Chico Pardo is
conditioned upon, among other things, approval by the Mexican authorities, including the Ministry
of Communications and Transportation. We cannot assure you that such approvals will be obtained.
If the sale is completed, CPH will no longer hold any interest in ITA, however, our Technical
Assistance Agreement with ITA will continue in force until its scheduled termination. See
Operating and Financial Review and ProspectsOperating CostsTechnical Assistance Fee and
Government Concession Fee in our 2009 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference, for a
discussion of the technical assistance fee.
Adoption of INIF 17
On July 30, 2010, we announced that we had concluded our analysis of the effects of the adoption
of INIF 17, Service Concession Contracts. INIF 17 was issued by the CINIF and became effective
in 2010. This new standard arose from the need to provide clarification on the accounting
treatment to be followed for service concession contracts for services that are considered public
in nature. INIF 17 incorporates into NIF C-3 the accounting treatment for the present value of the
recognition of a long term receivable, and additionally, it modifies NIF D-7 to allow the
recognition of executed and approved work to be collected or work to be approved as a non-current
asset.
The following are the principal effects of INIF 17 on our results of operation and balance
sheet:
|
|
|
New category of revenues and cost. Under INIF 17, an operator of a service
concession that is required to make capital improvements to concessioned assets, such as
us, is deemed to provide construction or upgrade services. As a result, the operator is
required to account for the revenues and expenses relating to those services. In our case,
because we hire a third party to provide construction and upgrade services, our revenues
relating to construction or upgrade services are equal to our expenses for those services.
Revenues related to construction and upgrade services are presented in a new category of |
S-22
|
|
|
revenues called Construction services and expenses related to construction and upgrade
services are presented in a new category of expenses called Costs of construction. |
|
|
|
|
Intangible assets and change in amortization rates. Under INIF 17, all
infrastructure to which an operator of a service concession is given access by the grantor
of the concession service agreement and the upgrades to that infrastructure made by the
operator are recognized as an intangible asset. These assets are amortized over the
concession period. As a result, we are required to include all fixed assets under Airport
Concessions, net and to modify amortization rates in accordance with the remaining period
of the concession, using the straight line method, for those fixed assets constructed or
acquired in the past. Previously we amortized fixed assets based on the estimated
remaining useful life of the particular asset. |
The effects of INIF 17 are reflected in our unaudited interim financial statements as of and
for the period ending June 30, 2010, and include the following net changes to our income statement:
|
|
|
an increase of Ps.217.7 million in revenues, all of which is attributable to the
new category of revenues called Construction services; |
|
|
|
|
an increase of Ps.217.7 million in operating expenses, all of which is
attributable to the new category of expenses called Cost of construction; |
|
|
|
|
a decrease of Ps.132.0 million in depreciation and
amortization; and |
|
|
|
|
an increase of Ps.19.7 million in deferred income tax and an increase of Ps.9.7
million in deferred IETU. |
Because of these net changes to our income statement, the adoption of INIF 17 resulted in an
increase in net income of Ps.102.6 million during the first half
of 2010.
In addition, the
adoption of INIF 17 resulted in the following net changes to our balance sheet as of June 30, 2010:
|
|
|
a net increase of Ps.693.0 million in total assets; |
|
|
|
|
a net increase of Ps.165.1 million in total liabilities; and |
|
|
|
|
a net increase of Ps.527.9 million in stockholders equity. |

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters are subject
to certain conditions precedent, including the absence of any material adverse change in our
business and the receipt of certain certificates, opinions and letters from us, our and the selling
stockholders counsel and our independent auditors. The underwriters are committed to purchase all
the ADSs and Series B shares offered by the selling stockholder if they purchase any ADSs and
Series B shares (other than those covered by the underwriters over-allotment option described
below). The underwriting agreement provides that, if an underwriter defaults, the purchase
commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the offering may be terminated.
The selling stockholder has granted to the underwriters an option to purchase up to
4,361,290 additional Series B shares, directly or in the form of ADSs, to cover
over-allotments. The underwriters have 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement to
exercise this over-allotment option. If any ADSs and Series B shares are purchased with this
over-allotment option, the underwriters will purchase ADSs and Series B shares in approximately the
same proportion as shown in the table above. If any additional ADSs and Series B shares are
purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional ADSs and Series B shares on the same terms as
those on which the shares are being offered. Any ADSs and Series B shares purchased in the over-allotment option will not be offered in Mexico.
The underwriters propose to offer the ADSs and Series B shares directly to the public at the
initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement and to
certain dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of US$ per ADS, or US$ per Series B
share. Any such dealers may resell shares to certain other brokers or dealers at a discount of up
to US$ per ADS, or US$ per Series B share, from the initial public offering price. After the
initial public offering, the offering price and other selling terms may be changed by the
underwriters.
The following table shows the per ADS, per Series B share and total underwriting discounts and
commissions to be paid to the underwriters by the selling stockholder in connection with the

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites maintained by one or
more underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in the offering. The
underwriters may agree to allocate a number of ADSs and Series B shares to underwriters and selling
group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be
allocated by the representatives to underwriters and selling group members that may make Internet
distributions on the same basis as other allocations.
We and the selling stockholder have agreed with the underwriters prior to the commencement of
this offering that we and the selling stockholder for a period of 90 days after the date of this
prospectus supplement, may not, without the prior written consent of the representatives of the
underwriters:
|
|
|
offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option
or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right
or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or
cause to be filed with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act or with
the CNBV a prospectus under Mexican securities laws relating to, any shares of our capital
stock (including in the form of ADSs) or any securities convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for any shares of our capital stock (including in the form of ADSs) (including
without limitation, such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by
the selling stockholder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and
securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant), or publicly
disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition, or filing; or |
|
|
|
|
enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the
economic consequences of ownership of any shares of our capital stock
(including in the
form of ADSs) or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any of
our shares of our capital stock (including in the form of ADSs), |
whether any such transaction described in the bullet points above is to be settled by delivery of
any shares of our capital stock (including in the form of ADSs) or any securities convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for any of our shares of our capital stock (including in the form of
ADSs) or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. In addition, in the event that either (1)
during the last 17 days of the lock-up period, we release earnings results or material news or a
material event relating to us occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the lockup period, we
announce that we will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day
of the lock-up period, then in either case the expiration of the lock-up will be extended until
the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the release of the earnings results or
the occurrence of the material news or event, as applicable. These restrictions do not apply to
the sales of ADSs or Series B shares to the underwriters.
We and the selling stockholder have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ASR. Our Series B
shares are listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange under the symbol ASUR.
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions
outside of Mexico, which involves making bids for, purchasing and selling ADSs (in the form of
Series B shares or ADSs) in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in
the market price the ADSs while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may
include making short sales of the ADSs, which involves the sale by the underwriters of a greater
number of ADSs than the number of ADSs they are required to purchase in this offering, and
purchasing ADSs on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales may be
covered shorts, which are short positions in an amount not greater than the underwriters
over-allotment option referred to above, or may be naked shorts, which are short positions in
excess of that amount. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by
exercising their over-allotment option, in whole or in part, or by purchasing shares in the open
market. In making this determination, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the
price of ADSs available for purchase in the open market compared to the price at which the
underwriter may purchase ADSs through the over-allotment option. A naked short position is more
likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the
price of the ADSs or the Series B shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors
who purchase in this offering. To the extent that the underwriters create a naked short position,
they will purchase ADSs in the open market to cover the position.
The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, they
may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the
ADSs, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that
S-26
if the underwriters purchase ADSs in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover
short sales, the underwriters may be required to repay the underwriting discount received by them.
These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the ADSs or
the Series B shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the ADSs or the
Series B shares, and, as a result, the price of the ADSs or the Series B shares may be higher than
the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these
activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these
transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise; provided
that no stabilization activities may be conducted in Mexico.
The underwriters and their respective affiliates have provided in the past to us and our
affiliates and to the selling stockholder and its affiliates and may provide from time to time in
the future certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services
for us, the selling stockholder and such affiliates in the ordinary course of their business, for
which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. In addition,
from time to time, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may effect transactions for
their own account or the account of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers,
long or short positions in our debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future.
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer or an
invitation by or on behalf of our company, the selling stockholder or the underwriters to subscribe
for or purchase any ADSs and Series B shares in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is
unlawful to make such an offer or solicitation in that jurisdiction. The distribution of this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and the offering of the ADSs and Series B
shares in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law. We, the selling stockholder and the
underwriters require persons into whose possession this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus come to inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions.

prospectus are not being offered, sold or traded in Mexico pursuant to, and do not constitute, an

amended (the Mexican Securities Market Law) or any applicable rules and regulation, nor is the

Securities Market Law. As such, this offering can be made to any person in Mexico so long as the
offering complies, among other requirements as set forth under the Mexican Securities Market Law,
with the following:
(i) it is made to persons who are inversionistas institucionales o calificados in
accordance with the Mexican Securities Market Law; or
(ii) it is made to persons who are stockholders of companies which fulfill their corporate
purpose exclusively or substantially with such securities (e.g., investment companies authorized to
invest in such securities); or
(iii) it is made pursuant to a plan or applicable program for employees or groups of employees
of the company or affiliates of the company; or
(iv) it is made to less than 100 persons to the extent such persons do not qualify under (i),
(ii) or (iii) above.
In identifying proposed purchasers for the ADSs and Series B shares in Mexico, the
underwriters will only contact persons or entities whom they reasonably believe are within one of
the four categories described in the immediately preceding paragraph in items (i) through (iv).

(Mexican broker dealers).
As required under the Mexican Securities Market Law, we will notify the CNBV of the sale of
the securities including the principal characteristics of the offering outside of Mexico pursuant
to Article 7 of the Mexican Securities Market Law. Such notice
S-27
will be delivered to the CNBV to comply with a legal requirement and for information purposes
only, and the delivery to and the receipt by the CNBV of such notice, does not constitute or imply
any certification as to the investment quality of the ADSs and Series B shares, our solvency,
liquidity or credit quality or the accuracy or completeness of the information provided in this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In making an investment decision, all
investors, including any Mexican investors who may acquire ADSs or Series B shares from time to
time, must rely on their own review and examination of our company. The acquisition of the ADSs or
Series B shares by an investor who is a resident of Mexico will be made under its own
responsibility. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will not be distributed
to the public in Mexico.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The selling stockholder is an affiliate of Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. Affiliates of
Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. (including the selling stockholder) beneficially own more than 10% of
our capital stock. Because Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. is an underwriter in this offering and its
affiliates beneficially own more than 10% of our capital stock, the underwriters are deemed to have
a conflict of interest under Rule 2720 of the Conduct Rules of the National Association of

GRUPO AEROPORTUARIO DEL SURESTE, S. A. B. DE C. V. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(SOUTHEAST AIRPORT GROUP)
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of Mexican Pesos, as explained in Note 2,
except number of share and share amounts)
1. Company history and operations
Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S. A. B. de C. V. (ASUR), a Mexican company, was incorporated in
April 1998, as a wholly-owned entity of the Mexican federal government to operate, maintain and
develop nine airports in the Southeast region of Mexico. The nine airports are located in the
following cities: Cancún, Cozumel, Mérida, Huatulco, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Villahermosa, Tapachula and
Minatitlán. ASUR and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the Company.
Notwithstanding the Companys rights to operate, maintain and develop the nine airports, pursuant
to the Mexican General Law of National Assets, all the permanent fixed assets located in the
airports are property of the Mexican federal goverment. Upon expiration of the Companys
concessions, these assets, including any improvements made during the term of the concessions,
automatically revert to the Mexican federal government.
2. Basis of preparation
The information included in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements is unaudited
but reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods
presented. The results of these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the
entire year. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance
with NIF B-9 Financial Information at Interim Dates and should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements and notes as of December 31, 2009. The year-end condensed
balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (NIFs).
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared to comply
with the Mexican Financial Reporting Standards.
New Mexican Financial Reporting Standards:
The following Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (NIFs) and Interpretations to the Financial
Reporting Standards (INIFs) issued by the Mexican Financial Reporting Standards Board (CINIF), went
into effect on January 1, 2010. The company believes that these NIFs and INIFs will not have a
significant impact on the Companys financial information with the exception of INIF 17, which
F-6
addresses the accounting standards to be
applied to concession contracts, and whose effects are
explained below.
NIF B-5 Financial Information by Segments. This new standard establishes the general standards
for disclosure of financial information by segments, allows the user of such information to
analyze the entity from the same perspective as management and allows presentation of information
by segments consistent with the financial statements. This standard supersedes NIF B-5
Financial Information by Segment, which will be effective until December 31, 2010.
NIF B-9 Financial Information at Interim Dates. This new standard establishes standards for
determination and submission of financial information at interim dates for external use and where
required, submissions of the statements of changes in stockholders equity and of cash flows, which
statements are not required by NIF B-9 Financial Information at interim dates, effective
until December 31, 2010.
NIF C-1 Cash and cash equivalents. This new standard establishes standards for accounting
treatment and disclosure of cash, restricted cash and available for sale investments. It also
introduces new terminology to make it consistent with other NIFs previously issued. This standard
supersedes Statement C-1, Cash without effect, which was effective up to December 31, 2009.
INIF 17 Service concession contracts. This new standard arises from the need to provide
clarification in regards to the accounting treatment to be followed for services concession
contracts, through which government grant, predominantly to private sector entities, a concession
to provide services that are considered public in nature. NIF 17 incorporates into NIF C-3 the
accounting treatment for the present value of the recognition of a long term receivable, and
additionally, it modifies NIF D-7 to allow the recognition of executed and approved work to be
collected or work to be approved as a non-current asset.
The principal effects of INIF 17 on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income
statement are the following recognition:
a) Revenue and cost recognition.
Under INIF 17, an operator of a service concession that is required to make capital improvements to
concessioned assets, such as the Company, is deemed to provide construction or upgrade services.
As a result, the Company is required to account for the revenues and expenses relating to those
services. Since the Company hires a third party to provide construction and upgrade services, the
revenues relating to those services are equal to their expenses.
b) Intangible assets recognition and amortization rates.
Under INIF 17, all infrastructure to which an operator of a service concession is given access by
the grantor of the concession service agreement and the upgrades to that infrastructure made by the
operator are recognized as an intangible asset. These assets are amortized over the concession
period. As a result, the Company is required to include all fixed assets under airport
concessions and to
F-7
modify amortization rates in accordance with the remaining period of the concession, using the
straight line method.

Adoption of IFRS
All Mexican issuers are required to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as
their accounting standard, no later than fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2012. The
Company intends to adopt IFRS as their accounting standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1,
2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of IFRS may have on the
results of the operations, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows.
Authorization of unaudited interim consolidated financial statements
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for publication
on August 2, 2010, by the Companys Audit Committee.

5. Bank Loans
In May 2009, Aeropuerto de Cancun, S. A. C. V. (subsidiary) executed three term credit facilities,
consisting of a Ps. 250 million three-year term credit facility from each of IXE Banco, Banco
Santander and BBVA Bancomer. The facilities each have 11 equal amortizations of principal, are
denominated in pesos, and charge interest at a rate based on the Tasa de Interés Intercambiaria de
Equilibrio, or Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate (TIIE) plus 1.75% to 2.00%. The proceeds of
these credit facilities can be used for general corporate purposes, or to fund capital expenditures
associated with our master development programs. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010
the Company made amortization payments of Ps.363,637 in respect of these credit facilities. As of
June 30, 2010, the loan balances are as shown in the next page:

Of Ps.250,000 available from this loan, the Company has drawn Ps.100,000. |
Some of these loans require the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain a liquidity ratio of
at least 1.25 to 1.00, an interest coverage ratio of at least 5.00 to 1.00, a ratio of liabilities
from the capital made no greater than 0.75 to 1.00 and a ratio of earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization of debt of at least 2.00 a 1.00, and limit our ability to incur more
than Ps.500 million of pesos of additional debt. In the event of a breach of these loans, these
loans restrict the Companys ability to pay dividends to shareholders. At June 30, 2010, the
Company is in compliance with the financial ratios mentioned above.
In order to reduce the risk of adverse movements attributable to the profile of interest rates
contracted for these loans, the Company entered into contracts for interest rate swaps.
F-10
6. Derivative financial instruments
With the goal of reducing the risk attributable to adverse movements in interest rates on long term
bank loans contracted and other interest-bearing liabilities recognized in the balance sheet, the
Company has entered into derivative financial instruments that convert its interest payment profile
from variable rate to fixed rate. With the Company enters into derivative financial instruments
only with well known and highly liquid institutions and there have been limits established for each
institution. The Companys policy is not to enter into derivatives for speculative purposes.
The Company recognizes in the balance sheet all assets and liabilities arising from operations with
derivative financial instruments at fair value. The fair value is determined on the basis of
recognized market prices and, when they are not listed in a market, the market value is determined
based on generally accepted valuation techniques.
The following table presents the Company ´s contracts for interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2010:

Dividends
At the April 26, 2010 general stockholders meeting, the Companys stockholders decided to pay net
dividends after income tax of Ps.750,000 (nominal), or Ps.2.50 (nominal) per share, which gave rise
to an income tax on dividends of Ps.295,720 (nominal), since those dividends were not from the
Companys After-tax Earnings Account. The Company recognized a favorable tax balance in the Balance
Sheet of Ps.295,720 since the tax may be offset against the Income Tax (ISR) incurred in the
following two years, as established in the tax regime currently in effect.
At the April 23, 2009 general stockholders meeting, the Companys stockholders agreed to pay net
dividends after income tax of Ps.1,884,000 (nominal), or Ps.6.28 (nominal) per share, which gave
rise to an income tax on dividends of Ps.191,130 (nominal), since those dividends were not from the
Companys After-tax Earnings Account. The Company recognized a favorable tax balance in the Balance
Sheet of Ps.180,419 since the tax may be offset against the Income Tax (ISR) incurred in the
following two years, as established in the tax regime currently in effect.

10. Commitments and contingencies
Commitments:
a) |
|
In May 2010, the Company entered into a new 60-month operating lease with a related party for
its corporate offices with monthly payments of US$19,653 (US$17,832 in June 2009). |
|
|
|
Rental expense was approximately Ps.1,516 and Ps.3,212 for the six-month period ended June 30,
2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively. |
b) |
|
On March 31, 2009, the Company received the approval of the Ministry of Communications and
Transportation for its Master Development Plan (MDP) for each of the nine airports for the
period from 2009 through 2013. Based on the MDPs presented, the Company has agreed to make
total improvements from 2009 through 2013. The commitments are the follows: |

Expressed in thousands of pesos of December 31, 2009 purchasing power applying Mexican National
Construction Price Index factors according to the MDPs terms. |
c) |
|
In accordance with the terms for the purchase of the land in Huatulco in October 2008, the
Company is required to build 450 hotel rooms within four years. To this end, the Company
intends to enter into agreements with third parties, in order to honor the commitment assumed
with FONATUR. On February 26, 2009, the Company delivered its proposal for a Comprehensive
Tourism Plan related to this project to FONATUR, and as of that date said proposal is pending
approval. |
Contingencies:
a) |
|
The operations of the Company are subject to Mexican federal and state laws. |
b) |
|
At present, there are two labor-law claims against the Company mainly relating to involuntary
terminations. The Company is contesting these claims through the judicial process and no
ruling has been issued at the date of this report. The total amount of these claims is
approximately Ps. 2,000. |
c) |
|
The Huatulco municipal government has initiated legal procedures against the Company to claim
payment of the property tax of the land where the airport is located. The Company believes
that there is no legal ground for the proceedings, as was the case for another airport of the
group. A favorable ruling for the Company was obtained concerning the payment of the tax in
question although the municipality has since taken legal action to request the revocation of
this ruling. |
|
|
Management does not believe that any liabilities relating to these claims are likely to have a
material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or the results of its
operations. |

The acquisition of the Series B shares or ADSs by an investor who is a resident of Mexico will be
made under its own responsibility.
ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
ASUR is a publicly traded variable capital corporation (sociedad anonima bursatil de capital
variable) organized under the laws of the United Mexican States, or Mexico, with our principal
place of business (domicilio social) in Mexico City. In addition, all of our directors and
officers, as well as certain experts named in this prospectus, reside outside the United States,
and all or a substantial portion of their assets and our assets are located outside of the United
States (principally Mexico). As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of
process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce against them, either inside or
outside the United States, judgments obtained against these persons in U.S. courts, or to enforce
in U.S. courts judgments obtained against these persons in courts in jurisdictions outside the
United States, in each case, in any action predicated upon civil liabilities under the U.S. federal
securities laws. We have been advised by Bufete Robles Miaja, S.C., our Mexican counsel, that no
bilateral treaty exists between the United States and Mexico for the reciprocal enforcement of
1
judgments issued in the other country. Generally, Mexican courts will enforce final judgments
rendered in the United States if certain requirements are met, including the review in Mexico of
the U.S. judgment to ascertain compliance with certain basic principles of due process and the
non-violation of Mexican law or public policy, provided that U.S. courts would grant reciprocal
treatment to Mexican judgments. Additionally, based on the opinion of Bufete Robles Miaja, S.C.,
there is doubt as to the enforceability against these persons in Mexico, whether in original
actions or in actions in Mexican courts for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of liabilities
predicated solely upon the U.S. federal and state securities laws.

Series BB shares |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
All ordinary shares confer equal rights and obligations to holders within each series. Series B
shares currently represent 92.35% of our capital and Series BB shares currently represent 7.65% of
our capital. Series B and Series BB shares may be held by any Mexican or foreign natural person,
company or entity.
Series BB shares may be converted to Series B shares in the circumstances described below in
Registration and Transfer. Series B shares may not be converted to Series BB shares.
Voting Rights and Stockholders Meetings
Each Series B share and Series BB share entitles the holder to one vote at any general meeting
of our stockholders, subject to certain special voting rights of holders of Series BB shares described below. Holders of Series BB shares are entitled to elect two members of our board of
directors and holders of Series B shares are entitled to elect the remaining members of the board
of directors. Our bylaws provide that our board of directors will have such odd number of members as determined
by the stockholders meeting, which number shall not be less than seven and shall be subject to the
maximum limit set forth by the Mexican Ley del Mercado de Valores (Securities Market Law).
Currently, our board of directors consists of seven members.
Under Mexican law and our bylaws, we may hold three types of stockholders meetings:
ordinary, extraordinary and special. Ordinary stockholders meetings are those called to discuss
any issue not reserved for extraordinary stockholders meeting. An annual ordinary stockholders
meeting must be convened and held within the first four months following the end of each fiscal
year to discuss, among other things, the report prepared by the board
of directors on our financial statements, the appointment of members of the board of directors
7
and the
determination of compensation for members of the board of directors. In addition, any transaction
representing the equivalent of 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the company requires
approval at an ordinary stockholders meeting.
An extraordinary stockholders meeting must be called to consider any amendment to ASURs bylaws.
Resolutions at an extraordinary meeting of stockholders are valid if
at least 75% of the shares representing our capital are present and
the resolutions are passed by the favorable vote of
shares representing at least 50% of our capital; however, a vote of shares representing at least
75% of our capital is required for any amendment to our bylaws which: (i) changes or eliminates the
authorities of our committees; or (ii) changes or eliminates the rights of minority stockholders,
and a vote of 85% of our capital stock is required under our bylaws to amend the provisions in our
bylaws requiring that a stockholder seeking to obtain control carry out a tender offer.
Special stockholders meetings are those called and held by stockholders of the same series or
class to consider any matter particularly affecting the relevant series or class of shares.
To be admitted to any stockholders meeting, stockholders must: (i) be registered in our
share registry; and (ii) at least one business day prior to the commencement of the meeting submit
(a) an admission ticket issued by us for that purpose, and (b) a certificate of deposit of the
relevant stock certificates issued by our Secretary or by a securities deposit institution, a
Mexican or foreign bank or securities dealer in accordance with the Mexican Securities Market Law.
The share registry will be closed three days prior to the date of the meeting. Stockholders may be
represented at any stockholders meeting by one or more attorneys-in-fact who are not directors of
ASUR. Representation at stockholders meetings may be substantiated pursuant to general or special
powers of attorney, by a proxy executed before two witnesses or otherwise by filling out forms
prepared by the company in which the designation of such representation is clearly established.
Promptly following the publication of any call for a stockholders meeting, we will provide
copies of the publication to the depositary for distribution to the holders of ADSs. Holders of
ADSs are entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of voting rights pertaining to the
Series B shares.
Right of Withdrawal
Any stockholder having voted against a resolution validly adopted at a meeting of our
stockholders with respect to (i) a change in our corporate purpose or nationality, (ii) a change of
corporate form, (iii) a merger involving us in which we are not the surviving entity or the
dilution of its capital stock by more than 10%, or (iv) a spin-off, may request redemption of its
shares, provided that the relevant request is filed with us within fifteen days following the
holding of the relevant stockholders meeting. The redemption of the stockholders shares will be
effected at the lower of (a) 95% of the average trading price determined on the closing prices of
our shares over the last thirty days on which trading in our shares took place prior to the date on
which the relevant resolution becomes effective, during a period not longer than six months
(provided that in the event the number of days on which shares have been traded in the six month
period is less than thirty, all days on which the shares were traded shall be taken into
consideration in such determination), or (b) the book value of the shares in accordance with our
most recent audited financial statements approved by our stockholders meeting. Pursuant to the
Mexican Securities Market Law and our bylaws, our stockholders have waived the right to redeem
their variable capital contributions as provided in the Mexican Ley General de Sociedades Mercantiles (General Law of Business
Corporations).

Special Voting Rights of BB Shares
Our Series BB shares
are held by Inversiones y Tecnicas Aeroportuarias, S.A. de C.V, or ITA,
our strategic partner. In addition to the right to elect two members of our board of directors,
Series BB shares are entitled to certain special voting rights. For example, pursuant to our
bylaws, ITA is entitled to present the board of directors with the name or names of the candidates
for appointment as chief executive officer, to remove our chief executive officer and to appoint
and remove one half of the executive officers, and to elect two members of our board of directors.
Our bylaws also provide ITA veto rights with respect to certain corporate actions (including some
requiring approval of our stockholders) so long as its Series BB shares represent at least 7.65% of
our capital stock. For additional information, see Additional InformationVoting Rights and
Stockholders Meetings in our most recent annual report on Form 20-F incorporated herein by
reference.
Dividends and Distributions
Each Series B and
Series BB share entitles its holder to equal rights with respect to dividends and
distributions.
At our annual ordinary general stockholders meeting, the board of directors submits to
the stockholders for their approval our financial statements for the preceding fiscal year. Five
percent of our net income (after statutory employee profit sharing and other deductions required by
Mexican law) must be allocated to a legal reserve fund until the legal reserve fund reaches an
amount equal to at least 20% of our capital stock (without adjustment for inflation). Additional
amounts may be allocated to other reserve funds as the stockholders may from time to time
determine, including a reserve to repurchase shares. The remaining balance, if any, of net
earnings may be distributed as dividends on both Series B shares and Series BB shares.
Registration and Transfer
Our shares are registered with the Registro Nacional de Valores (Mexican Securities Registry),
as required under the Mexican Ley del Mercado de Valores
(Securities Market Law) and regulations
issued by the Mexican Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (Banking and Securities Commission,
or CNBV). In the event that the registration of our shares with the Mexican Securities Registry is
cancelled, we will be required to make a public offer to purchase all outstanding shares prior to
such cancellation. Unless the CNBV authorizes otherwise, the public offer price shall be the
higher of the weighted average trading price (based on volume) for our shares for the most recent
thirty days on which the price of the shares has been quoted during the six months prior to the
commencement of the public offer; provided that in the event the number of days on which shares
have been quoted during such six-month period is less than thirty, the days on which the shares
were quoted shall be taken into consideration; or if no shares traded during such period, the book
value (valor contable) of the shares as calculated in accordance with the most recent quarterly
report submitted to the CNBV and to the Mexican Stock Exchange. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we
may be exempted from making the public offer if (i) at least 95%
of stockholders express their consent, (ii) the aggregate amount of the public offer is lower than 300,000 investment
units (unidades de inversion or UDIs), and (iii) sufficient resources are transferred to a trust
with a minimum term of six months specifically created for purposes of purchasing, at the same
price of the offer, the shares of the stockholders that do not tender their shares. Any amendments
to the foregoing provisions included in our bylaws require the prior approval of the CNBV and
approval by a resolution of
9
an extraordinary stockholders meeting adopted by shares representing at least 95% of our
outstanding capital stock.
Any offering that is undertaken in Mexico by us or any selling stockholder must either (i)
comply with the public offering requirements set forth in the Mexican Securities Market Law and
applicable rules and regulations issued by the CNBV or (ii) be carried out as a private placement
pursuant to Article 8 of the Mexican Securities Market Law.
Transfer and Conversion of Series BB Shares. Series BB shares may only be transferred after
conversion into Series B shares, and are subject to the following rules:
|
|
|
Except with the prior authorization by the Mexican Ministry of Communications and
Transportation, ITA was required to retain its interest in the Series BB shares through
December 18, 2008. |
|
|
|
|
After December 18, 2008, ITA may sell in any year up to 20% of its interest in the
Series BB shares. |
|
|
|
|
If ITA owns Series BB shares that represent less than 7.65% of our capital stock after
December 18, 2013, those remaining Series BB shares must be converted into freely
transferable Series B shares. |
|
|
|
|
If ITA owns Series BB shares representing at least 7.65% of our capital stock after
December 18, 2013, those Series BB shares may be converted into Series B shares, provided
the holders of at least 51% of Series B shares (other than shares held by ITA and any of
its related persons) approve such conversion and vote against renewal of the technical
assistance agreement. |
Changes in Capital Stock
Increases and reductions
of our minimum fixed capital must be approved at an extraordinary
stockholders meeting, subject to the provisions of our bylaws and the Mexican General Law of Business Corporations.
Increases or reductions of the
variable capital must be approved at an ordinary stockholders meeting in compliance with the
voting requirements of our bylaws.
We may issue unsubscribed shares that will be kept in the treasury, to be subsequently
subscribed by the investing public, provided that (i) the general extraordinary stockholders
meeting approves the maximum amount of the capital increase and the conditions on which the
corresponding placement of shares shall be made, (ii) the subscription of issued shares is made
through a public offer after registration in the Mexican National Securities Registry, complying,
in either case, with the provisions of the Mexican Securities Market Law and other applicable law
and (iii) the amount of the subscribed and paid-in capital of the company is announced when the
company makes the authorized capital increase public. The preferential subscription right provided
under Article 132 of the Mexican General Law of Business Corporations is not applicable to capital
increases through public offers of unsubscribed shares issued
pursuant to Article 53 of the Mexican Securities Market Law or
repurchased shares issued pursuant to Article 56 of the Mexican
Securities Market Law.
10
The stockholders will have a
preferential right to subscribe shares in the event of a capital increase, in proportion to the number of shares held by
each at the time the increase is approved pursuant to the provisions of Article 132 of the General
Law of Business Corporations, as established hereinafter, unless the subscription offer is made
under the provisions of Article 53 or Article 56 of the Mexican Securities Market Law, or in the case of an
issuance of shares kept in the Treasury for conversion of debentures in terms of Article 210 bis of
the Mexican Ley General de Títulos y Operaciones de Crédito (General Law of Negotiable Instruments
and Credit Transactions).
Our capital stock may be reduced by resolution of a stockholders meeting taken pursuant to
the rules applicable to capital increases. Our capital stock may also be reduced by repurchase of
our own stock in accordance with the Mexican Securities Market Law. Shares of our capital stock
belonging to us may not be represented or voted in stockholders meetings, nor may corporate or
economic rights of any kind be exercised, nor will the shares be considered as outstanding for the
purpose of determining the quorum and the votes in stockholders meetings.
Ownership of Capital Stock by Subsidiaries
Our subsidiaries may not, directly or indirectly, invest in our shares or shares of any parent
company of ASUR, unless such subsidiaries acquired our shares to comply with employee stock option
or stock sale plans that are established, granted or designed in favor of the employees or officers
of such subsidiaries or through investment companies (sociedades de inversion). The number of
shares acquired for such purpose may not exceed 15% of our outstanding capital stock.
Liquidation
Upon our dissolution, one or more liquidators must be appointed at an extraordinary
stockholders meeting to wind up our affairs. All fully paid and outstanding shares will be
entitled to participate equally in any distribution upon liquidation. Partially paid shares
participate in any distribution in the same proportion that such shares have been paid at the time
of the distribution.
Stockholders Conflict of Interest
Under Mexican law, any stockholder that has a conflict of interest with respect to any
transaction must abstain from voting on such a transaction at the relevant stockholders meeting.
A stockholder that votes on a transaction in which its interest conflicts with that of ASUR may be
liable for damages in the event the relevant transaction would not have been approved without such
stockholders vote as provided under the Mexican Securities
Market Law.
11
DESCRIPTION OF THE ADSs
American Depositary Shares
Pursuant to our form F-6 filed with the SEC on September 7, 2000, we registered American
Depositary Shares (ADSs), which are evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). The
deposit agreement is among us, The Bank of New York Mellon, as ADR depositary, and all holders from
time to time of ADRs issued under the deposit agreement. Copies of the deposit agreement are
on file at the ADR depositarys corporate trust office and the
office of the Mexican custodian for the depositary, S.D. Indeval,
Instituto para el Deposito de Valores, S.A. de C.V.
They are
open to inspection by owners and holders during business hours. The depositarys corporate trust
office is located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286.
The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, registers and delivers ADSs. Each ADS represents
ten Series B shares (or a right to receive ten Series B shares). Each ADS will also represent any
other securities, cash or other property which may be held by the depositary.
You
may hold ADSs either (i) directly by having an ADR, which is a certificate evidencing a
specific number of ADSs, registered in your name or (ii) indirectly by holding a security
entitlement in ADSs through your broker or other financial institution. If you hold ADSs directly,
you are a registered ADS holder, also referred to as an ADS holder. This description assumes you
are an ADS holder. If you hold the ADSs indirectly, you must rely on the procedures of your broker
or other financial institution to assert the rights of ADS holders described in this section. You
should consult with your broker or financial institution to find out what those procedures are.
The depositary will be the holder of the Series B shares underlying your ADSs. As a
registered holder of ADSs, you will have ADS holder rights. A deposit agreement sets out ADS holder
rights as well as the rights and obligations of the depositary. New York law governs the deposit
agreement and the ADSs. As an ADS holder, we will not treat you as one of our stockholders and you
will not have stockholder rights. Mexican law governs stockholder rights.
The following is a summary of the material provisions of the deposit agreement. For more
complete information, you should read the entire deposit agreement, which has been filed as an
exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Dividends and Other Distributions
The depositary has agreed to pay to you the cash dividends or other distributions it or the
custodian receives on Series B shares or other deposited securities, after deducting its fees and
expenses. You will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of Series B shares your
ADSs represent.
|
|
|
Cash. The depositary will convert any cash dividend or other cash distribution
we pay on the Series B shares into U.S. dollars, if it can do so on a reasonable basis
and can transfer the U.S. dollars to the United States. If that is not possible or if
any government approval is needed and can not be obtained, the deposit agreement allows
the depositary to distribute the foreign currency only to those |
12
|
|
|
ADS holders to the extent permissible to do so. It will hold the foreign currency it
cannot convert for the account of the ADS holders who have not been paid. It will
not invest the foreign currency and it will not be liable for any interest. |
|
|
|
Before making a distribution, the depositary will deduct any withholding taxes that
must be paid. It will distribute only whole U.S. dollars and cents and will round
fractional cents to the nearest whole cent. If the exchange rates fluctuate during a
time when the depositary cannot convert the foreign currency, you may lose some or
all of the value of the distribution. |
|
|
|
|
Shares. The depositary may distribute additional ADSs representing any shares
we distribute as a dividend or free distribution. The depositary will only distribute
whole ADSs. It will try to sell shares that would require it to deliver fractions of
ADSs and distribute the net proceeds in the same way as it does with cash. If the
depositary does not distribute additional ADSs, the outstanding ADSs will also
represent the new shares. |
|
|
|
|
Rights to purchase additional shares. If we offer holders of our securities
any rights to subscribe for additional shares or any other rights, the depositary may,
after consultation with us, make these rights available to you (including by means of
warrants or otherwise, if the depositary determines it is feasible and lawful to do so)
or sell the rights and distribute the proceeds in the same way as it does with cash. |
|
|
|
|
The depositary will not offer rights to holders unless both the rights and the
securities to which such rights relate are either exempt form registration under the
Securities Act or are registered under the provisions of the Securities Act. |
|
|
|
|
Other Distributions. The depositary will send to you anything else we
distribute on deposited securities, in proportion to the number of ADSs you hold, by
any means it deems equitable and practicable; provided, however, if it determines the
distribution cannot be made proportionately among the holders, or if the distribution
is otherwise not feasible, the depositary may adopt such method as it may deem
equitable and practicable, including the sale of such property and the distribution of
the net proceeds thereof in the same manner as cash distributions. |
The depositary is not responsible if it decides that it is unlawful or impractical to make a
distribution available to any ADS holders provided that the Depositary has not acted negligently or
in bad faith.
Deposit and Withdrawal
The depositary will deliver ADSs upon the deposit of Series B shares with the custodian,
subject to your delivery to the depositary or the custodian of any certificates required under the
Deposit Agreement and payment of its fees and expenses and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp
taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees. The depositary will register the appropriate number of ADSs
in the names you request.
13
You may surrender your ADSs at the depositarys office. Upon payment of its fees and expenses
and of any taxes or charges, such as stamp taxes or stock transfer taxes or fees, and subject to
the requirements of the Deposit Agreement, the depositary will deliver the Series B shares and any
other deposited securities underlying the ADSs to you or a person you designate at the office of
the custodian. Or, at your request, risk and expense, the depositary will deliver the deposited
securities at its office, if feasible.
Voting Rights
As
a holder of ADSs, you will not be entitled to attend stockholders meetings, but you may
instruct the depositary to vote the Series B shares underlying your ADSs. If we ask for your
instructions, the depositary will notify you of the upcoming vote and arrange to deliver our voting
materials to you. The materials will describe the matters to be voted on and explain how you may
instruct the depositary to vote the Series B shares or other deposited securities underlying your
ADSs as you direct by a specified date.
If the depositary does not receive voting instructions from you by the specified date, it will
consider you to have authorized and directed it to vote the number of deposited securities
represented by your ADSs on any question in the same proportion that all other shares of capital
stock of the company are voted on such question at the relevant stockholders meeting.
We cannot assure you that you will receive the voting materials in time to ensure that you can
instruct the depositary to vote your Series B shares. This means that you may not be able to
exercise your right to vote and there may be nothing you can do if your Series B shares are not
voted as you requested.
Fees and Expenses
ADS holders must pay (1) taxes and other governmental charges the depositary or the custodian
have to pay on any ADS or Series B shares underlying an ADS; (2) registration or transfer fees for
transfer and registration of shares on our share register to or from the name of the depositary or
its agent when you deposit or withdraw shares; (3) certain cable, telex and facsimile transmission
expenses; (4) expenses of the depositary in converting foreign currency to U.S. dollars; (5)
U.S.$5.00 (or less) per 100 ADSs (or portion of 100 ADSs) for the execution and delivery or
surrender of ADRs pursuant to the deposit agreement, including if the deposit agreement terminates;
(6) (to the extent permitted by the rules of any stock exchange on which ADSs are listed for
trading) a fee of U.S.$.02 or less per ADS for any distribution of proceeds of sales of securities
or rights (but not for cash distributions); (7) with respect to distributions of property other
than cash, shares or rights to purchase shares, a fee equivalent to the fee that would be payable
if such property had been deposited for issuance of ADSs; and (8) any other charges.
Payment of Taxes
ADS holders will be responsible for any taxes or other governmental charges payable on ADSs or
on the deposited securities represented by any ADSs. The depositary may refuse to register any
transfer of ADSs or allow withdrawal of the deposited securities represented by ADSs until such
taxes or other charges are paid. It may apply payments owed to ADS holders or
14
sell deposited securities represented by an ADS holders ADSs to pay any taxes owed and such
holder will remain liable for any deficiency. If the depositary sells deposited securities, it
will, if appropriate, reduce the number of ADSs to reflect the sale and pay to ADS holders any
proceeds, or send to ADS holders any property, remaining after it has paid the taxes.
Reclassifications, Recapitalizations and Mergers
Upon any change in par value, split-up, consolidation or any other reclassification of
deposited securities, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale
of assets affecting our company or to which we are a party, any securities received by the
depositary or custodian in exchange for or in conversion of such securities will be treated as
additional securities, and the underlying ADSs will represent, in addition to the Series B shares
underlying the ADSs, the right to receive such new securities in exchange or conversion, unless, at
our request and with our approval, the depositary delivers additional ADRs.
Amendment and Termination
We may agree with the depositary to amend the deposit agreement and the ADSs without your
consent for any reason. If an amendment adds or increases fees or charges, except for taxes and
other governmental charges, or prejudices a substantial right of ADS holders, it will not become
effective for outstanding ADSs until 30 days after the depositary notifies ADS holders of the
amendment. At the time an amendment becomes effective, you are considered, by continuing to hold
your ADSs, to agree to the amendment and to be bound by the ADSs and the deposit agreement as
amended.
The depositary will terminate the deposit agreement if we ask it to do so. The depositary may
also terminate the deposit agreement if the depositary has told us that it would like to resign and
we have not appointed a new depositary bank within 90 days. In either case, the depositary must
notify you at least 30 days before termination.
After termination, the depositary and its agents will do the following under the deposit
agreement but nothing else: (a) collect distributions on the deposited securities (b) sell rights
and other property, and (c) deliver Series B shares, dividends and other distributions, proceeds of
any sale and other deposited securities upon surrender of ADSs. Two years or more after
termination, the depositary may sell any remaining deposited securities by public or private sale.
After that, the depositary will hold the money it received on the sale, as well as any other cash
it is holding under the deposit agreement for the pro rata benefit of the ADS holders that have not
surrendered their ADSs. It will not invest the money and has no liability for interest. The
depositarys only obligations will be to account for the money and other cash. After termination
our only obligations will be to indemnify the depositary and to pay fees and expenses of the
depositary that we agreed to pay.
Limitations on Obligations and Liability
The deposit agreement expressly limits our obligations and the obligations of the depositary.
It also limits our liability and the liability of the depositary. Each of us and the depositary:
15
|
|
|
are only obligated to take the actions specifically set forth in the deposit
agreement with good faith using reasonable efforts; |
|
|
|
|
are not liable if it is prevented or delayed by law or circumstances beyond its
control from performing its obligations under the deposit agreement; |
|
|
|
|
are not liable if it exercises discretion permitted under the deposit agreement; |
|
|
|
|
have no obligation to become involved in a lawsuit or other proceeding related
to the ADSs or the deposit agreement unless it receives an indemnity satisfactory
to it; and |
|
|
|
|
may rely upon any advice or information from any person it believes in good
faith to be competent to give such advice or information. |
In the deposit agreement, we agree to indemnify the depositary for acting as depositary, except for
losses caused by the depositarys own negligence or bad faith, and the depositary agrees to
indemnify us for losses resulting from its negligence or bad faith.
Requirements for Depositary Actions
Before the depositary will deliver or register a transfer of ADSs, make a distribution on
ADSs, or permit withdrawal of shares or other property, the depositary may require:
|
|
|
payment of stock transfer or other taxes or other governmental charges and transfer
or registration fees charged by third parties for the transfer of any Series B shares
or other deposited securities; |
|
|
|
|
satisfactory proof of the identity and genuineness of any signature or other
information it deems necessary; and |
|
|
|
|
compliance with regulations it may establish, from time to time, consistent with the
deposit agreement, including presentation of transfer documents. |
The depositary may refuse to deliver ADSs or register transfers of ADSs generally when the
transfer books of the depositary or our transfer books are closed or at any time if the depositary
or we think it advisable to do so.
Your Right to Receive the Series B Shares Underlying your ADSs
You have the right to withdraw the Series B shares underlying your ADSs at any time
except:
|
|
|
when the depositary has closed its transfer books or we have closed our transfer
books; |
|
|
|
|
when you owe money to pay fees, taxes and similar charges; or |
16
|
|
|
when it is deemed necessary or advisable by us or the depositary, for any reason, at
any time, to prohibit withdrawals in order to comply with any laws, governmental
regulations or requirements of any securities exchange that apply to ADSs or to the
withdrawal of Series B shares or other deposited securities. |
This right of withdrawal may not be limited by any other provision of the deposit agreement.
17
TAXATION
The following summary contains a description of the material anticipated U.S. and Mexican
federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Series B shares
or ADSs by a beneficial holder that is a citizen or resident of the United States or a U.S.
domestic corporation or that otherwise will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income
basis in respect of our Series B shares or ADSs and that is a non-Mexican holder (as defined
below) (a U.S. holder), but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the
tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, hold or sell our Series B shares
or ADSs. In particular, the summary deals only with U.S. holders that will hold our Series B shares
or ADSs as capital assets and does not address the tax treatment of special classes of U.S.
holders such as dealers in securities or currencies, U.S. holders whose functional currency is not
the U.S. dollar, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, insurance companies,
partnerships or other pass-through entities, persons who own or are deemed to own 10% or more of
our voting stock, U.S. holders liable for the alternative minimum tax, securities traders who elect
to account for their investment in Series B shares or ADSs on a mark-to-market basis and persons
holding Series B shares or ADSs in a hedging transaction or as part of a straddle, conversion or
other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, the summary does
not address any U.S. or Mexican state or local tax considerations that may be relevant to a U.S.
holder.
The summary is based upon the federal income tax laws of the United States and Mexico as in
effect on the date of this Form F-3, including the provisions of the income tax treaty between the
United States and Mexico and protocols thereto (the Tax Treaty), all of which are subject to
change, possibly with retroactive effect in the case of U.S. federal income tax law.
Prospective investors in our Series B shares or ADSs should consult their own tax advisors as
to the U.S., Mexican or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the
Series B shares or ADSs, including, in particular, the effect of any foreign, state or local tax
laws and their entitlement to the benefits, if any, afforded by the Tax Treaty.
For purposes of this summary, the term non-Mexican holder shall mean a holder that is not a
resident of Mexico for tax purposes and that will not hold the Series B shares or ADSs or a
beneficial interest therein in connection with the conduct of a trade or business through a
permanent establishment in Mexico.
For purposes of Mexican taxation, the definition of residency is highly technical and
residency arises in several situations. Generally an individual is a resident of Mexico if he or
she has established his or her home in Mexico, or has his or her center of vital interest in Mexico
and a corporation is a resident if it has its principal place of management or effective place of
management in Mexico.
In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holders of ADSs will be treated as the
beneficial owners of the Series B shares represented by those ADSs.
18
Taxation of Dividends
Mexican Tax Considerations
Under Mexican Income Tax Law provisions, dividends paid to non-Mexican holders with respect to
our Series B shares or ADSs are not subject to any Mexican withholding tax.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The gross amount of any distributions paid with respect to the Series B shares or ADSs, to the
extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal
income tax purposes, generally will be includible in the gross income of a U.S. holder as dividend
income on the date on which the distributions are received by the U.S. holder in the case of
Series B shares or by the depositary in the case of ADSs. Such distributions will not be eligible
for the dividends received deduction allowed to certain corporations under the U.S. Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To the extent that a distribution exceeds our current and
accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated as a non-taxable return of basis to the extent
thereof, and thereafter as capital gain from the sale of Series B shares or ADSs. We do not expect
to keep earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, you
should expect that a distribution will generally be treated as a dividend (as discussed below).
Distributions, which will be made in pesos, will be includible in the income of a U.S. holder in a
U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date they are
received by the U.S. holder in the case of Series B shares or by the depositary in the case of ADSs, whether
or not they are converted into U.S. dollars on that date. If such distributions are converted into
U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. holder generally should not be required to recognize
foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the distributions. U.S. holders should consult their
own tax advisors regarding the treatment of foreign currency gain or loss, if any, on any pesos
received by a U.S. holder or depositary that are converted into U.S. dollars on a date subsequent
to receipt.
Dividends generally will be treated as income from foreign sources for U.S. foreign tax credit
limitation purposes. Although dividends currently are not subject to Mexican withholding tax (see
Taxation of Dividends Mexican Tax Considerations, above), in the event that Mexico imposes a
withholding tax in the future, a U.S. holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex
limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of such withholding tax. Additionally, if
Mexican withholding tax is imposed in the future, a U.S. holder who does not elect to claim a
foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld may instead be eligible to claim a deduction for U.S.
federal income tax purposes in respect of such withheld tax, but only for a year in which such
holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. The rules governing the foreign
tax credit are complex and U.S. holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors in this regard.
Subject to certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, the U.S. dollar amount of
dividends received by a non-corporate U.S. holder in a taxable year beginning prior to January 1,
2011 with respect to the Series B shares or ADSs will be subject to taxation at a maximum rate of
15% if the dividends are qualified dividends. Dividends paid on the Series B shares or ADSs will
be treated as qualified dividends if: (i) (A) the Series B shares or
19
ADSs are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, or (B) we are
eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the U.S.
Treasury determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange
of information program, and (ii) we were not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend
was paid, and are not, in the years in which the dividend is paid, a passive foreign investment
company (PFIC). The ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and will qualify as readily
tradable on an established securities market in the United States so long as they are so listed.
In addition, the U.S. Treasury has determined that the Tax Treaty meets the requirements for
reduced rates of taxation, and we believe we are eligible for the benefits of the Tax Treaty.
Based on our audited financial statements and relevant market and stockholder data, we believe that
we were not treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2009 taxable
year. Furthermore, based on our audited financial statements and our current expectations
regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, and relevant
market and stockholder data, we do not anticipate becoming a PFIC for our 2010 taxable year or
future years, although there can be no assurance in this regard.
The U.S. Treasury has announced its intention to promulgate rules pursuant to which holders of
ADSs or common stock and intermediaries through whom such securities are held will be permitted to
rely on certifications from issuers to establish that dividends are treated as qualified dividends.
Because such procedures have not yet been issued, it is not clear whether we will be able to comply
with them. Holders of ADSs and Series B shares should consult their own tax advisors regarding the
availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in the light of their own particular circumstances.
Taxation of Dispositions of Shares or ADSs
Mexican Tax Considerations
Gain on the sale or other disposition of ADSs by a non-Mexican holder will not be subject to
any Mexican tax. Deposits and withdrawals of our Series B shares in exchange for ADSs will not
give rise to Mexican tax or transfer duties.
Gain on the sale of our Series B shares by a non-Mexican holder will generally not be subject
to any Mexican tax if the transaction is carried out through the Mexican Stock Exchange or other
securities markets approved by the Mexican Ministry of Finance, and provided certain requirements
set forth by the Mexican Income Tax Law are complied with. Sales or other dispositions of Series B shares
made in other circumstances generally would be subject to Mexican tax, except to the extent
that a holder is eligible for benefits under an income tax treaty to which Mexico is a party.
The tax exemption described in the previous paragraph will not be applicable to pre-negotiated
trades executed through the facilities of a Mexican securities exchange. The exemption also will
not be applicable in the case of a person or group of persons that, directly or indirectly, holds
10% or more of the shares representing our capital stock, or that holds a controlling interest in
us, if in a period of 24 months, a sale of 10% or more of our fully paid shares, or of a
controlling interest in us, is carried out through one or several simultaneous or
20
successive transactions, including those carried out through derivative instruments or other
similar transactions.
For a nonresident corporation or individual that does not meet the requirements summarized
above, proceeds obtained from the sale or disposition of shares will be subject to a 25% tax. Under certain circumstances, nonresident
corporations and individuals, alternatively, may elect to pay a 20% tax on the gain obtained from
the transaction.
Under the Tax Treaty, a holder that is eligible to claim the benefits of the Tax Treaty will
be exempt from Mexican tax on gains realized on a sale or other disposition of the Series B shares
in a transaction that is not carried out through the Mexican Stock Exchange or such other approved
securities markets, so long as the holder did not own, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of our
capital stock (including ADSs) within the twelve-month period preceding such sale or other
disposition and complies with certain requirements set forth by Mexican Income Tax Law.
For non-Mexican holders that do not meet the requirements referred to above, gross income
realized on the sale of the Series B shares will be subject to a 5% Mexican withholding tax if the
transaction is carried out through the Mexican Stock Exchange. Alternatively, a non-Mexican holder
can choose to be subject to a 20% withholding rate on the net gain obtained, as calculated pursuant
to Mexican Income Tax Law provisions.
U.S. Tax Considerations
Upon the sale or other disposition of the Series B shares or ADSs, a U.S. holder generally
will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount
realized on the sale or other disposition and such U.S. holders tax basis in the Series B shares
or ADSs. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder on such sale or other disposition generally will
be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other disposition, the Series B shares or ADSs have been held for more than one year. Long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S.
holder that is an individual is subject to lower rates of federal income taxation than ordinary
income or short-term capital gain. The deduction of a capital loss is subject to limitations for
U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Deposits and withdrawals of Series B shares by U.S. holders in exchange for ADSs will not
result in the realization of gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. holders
tax basis in such shares will be the same as its tax basis in such ADSs, and the holding period in
such shares will be the same as the holding period for such ADSs.
Gain, if any, realized by a U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of the Series B shares
or ADSs generally will be treated as U.S. source income for U.S. foreign tax credit
purposes. Consequently, if a Mexican withholding tax is imposed on the sale or disposition of the
Series B shares, a U.S. holder that does not receive significant foreign source income from other
sources may not be able to derive effective U.S. foreign tax credit benefits in respect of these
Mexican taxes. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the
21
application of the foreign tax credit rules to their investment in, and disposition of,
Series B shares or ADSs.
Other Mexican Taxes
There are no Mexican inheritance, succession or value added taxes applicable to the ownership,
transfer or disposition of the Series B shares or ADSs by non-Mexican holders; provided, however,
that gratuitous transfers of the Series B shares or ADSs may in certain circumstances cause a
Mexican federal tax to be imposed upon the recipient. There are no Mexican stamp, issue,
registration or similar taxes or duties payable by non-Mexican holders of the Series B shares or
ADSs.
U.S. Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements
In general, information reporting requirements will apply to payments by a paying agent within
the United States to a U.S. holder (other than certain exempt recipients) of dividends in respect
of the Series B shares or ADSs or the proceeds received on the sale or other disposition of the
Series B shares or ADSs, and a backup withholding tax may apply to such amounts if the U.S. holder
fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number to the paying agent on a properly
completed Internal Revenue Service W-9 or otherwise comply with the applicable requirements of the
backup withholding rules. Amounts withheld as backup withholding tax will be creditable against
the U.S. holders U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is
furnished to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
U.S. Tax Consequences for Non-U.S. holders
Distributions
A holder or beneficial owner of Series B shares or ADSs that is not a U.S. holder for U.S.
federal income tax purposes (a non-U.S. holder) generally will not be subject to U.S. federal
income or withholding tax on dividends received on Series B shares or ADSs.
Dispositions
A non-U.S. holder of Series B shares or ADSs will not be subject to U.S. federal income or
withholding tax on gain realized on the sale of Series B shares or ADSs, unless, in the case of
gain realized by an individual non-U.S. holder, the non-U.S. holder is present in the United States
for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale and certain other conditions are met.
Information reporting and backup withholding
Although non-U.S. holders generally are exempt from backup withholding, a non-U.S. holder may
be required to comply with certification and identification procedures in order to establish its
exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.
22
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
Any selling stockholder may from time to time offer our Series B shares, directly or in the
form of ADSs, for resale. We are registering these securities in order to permit selling
stockholders to publicly offer in the United States these securities for resale from time to time.
Any selling stockholder may sell all, some or none of the Series B shares and ADSs covered
by this prospectus.
Any such Series B shares or ADSs may only be offered, sold or traded in Mexico pursuant to (i)
a public offering in accordance with the Mexican Securities Market Law and which is duly authorized
by the CNBV, or (ii) pursuant to a private placement exemption set forth under Article 8 of the
Mexican Securities Market Law.
Information regarding any selling stockholder, the number of the securities being offered by
the selling stockholder, and the change of its ownership percentage resulting from sale of such
offered securities will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to that offer.
23
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
At the time of offering any securities, we will supplement the following summary of the plan
of distribution with a description of the offering, including the particular terms and conditions
thereof, set forth in a prospectus supplement relating to those securities.
We and/or any selling stockholder may sell securities in any of three ways: (1) through
underwriters or dealers; (2) directly to one or a limited number of institutional purchasers; or
(3) through agents. Each prospectus supplement with respect to a series of securities will set
forth the terms of the offering of those securities, including the name or names of any
underwriters or agents, information regarding any selling stockholders, the price of such
securities and the net proceeds to us or to any selling stockholder from such sale, any
underwriting discounts, commissions or other items constituting underwriters or agents
compensation, any discount or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers and any
securities exchanges on which those securities may be listed.
If underwriters are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for
their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including
negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices to be determined at
the time of sale. We and/or any selling stockholder may offer the securities to the public either
through underwriting syndicates of investment banking firms represented by managing underwriters,
or directly through one or more such investment banking firms or others, as designated. Unless
otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to
purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters will
be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered thereby if any are purchased. Any initial
public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may
be changed from time to time.
We and/or any selling stockholder may sell securities either directly to one or more
institutional purchasers, or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved
in the offer or sale of the securities will be named, and any commissions payable by us or any
selling stockholder to such agent will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Unless otherwise indicated in such prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a
reasonable best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we and/or any selling stockholder will
authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers by certain specified institutions to
purchase the securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement
plus accrued interest, if any, pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and
delivery on one or more specified dates in the future. Institutions with which such contracts may
be made include commercial and saving banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment
companies, educational and charitable institutions and others, but in all such cases we and any
selling stockholder must approve such institutions. Such contracts will be subject only to those
conditions set forth in such prospectus supplement and the prospectus supplement will set forth the
commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
24
Agents and underwriters may be entitled under agreements entered into with us and/or any
selling stockholder, to indemnification by us and/or any selling stockholder against certain civil
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to
payments which the agents or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.
Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with us and/or any selling stockholder or
perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.
No securities will be publicly offered or traded in Mexico or otherwise be subject to
brokerage activities in Mexico, except as permitted under Mexican law and specified in a supplement
to this prospectus. This prospectus may not be publicly distributed in Mexico.
