Business Wire
Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Bachoco") (NYSE: IBA; BMV:
BACHOCO). A national leader in the production and marketing of
poultry products and other food products, today announced that its
Board of Directors, considering, among other things: the results of
the tender offer concluded on November 2022, by Edificio del
Noroeste, S.A. de C.V., a vehicle controlled by the Robinson Bours
Family, which together with its affiliates and related parties in
the aggregate, at this date hold more than 97% of the outstanding
shares issued by Bachoco; the low trading volume in the United
States of America; the relatively low participation in the American
Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") program and the benefits of
maintaining the ADRs program against the costs related thereto,
resolved, consistent with the processes initiated more than a year
ago, to initiate the processes to delist its ADRs from the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and terminate its ADRs program.
In addition, it is anticipated that in the near future, Bachoco
will take such actions as necessary to deregister and terminate its
obligations to prepare and file reports under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Neither the
delisting from the NYSE nor the termination of its registration
under the Exchange Act is expected to affect the continued listing
of Bachoco's shares on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B. de
C.V. and/or the registration of such shares with the Mexican
Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de
Valores).
We will keep our investors informed of any important
developments as necessary or appropriate.
