Reported Late Tuesday March 28, Bachoco Informs About NYSE Delisting Application
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).
