PART I

Item 1. Exchange Act Reporting History

Item 2. Recent United States Market Activity

The Company’s securities were last sold in the United States in a registered offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-1 (No. 333-7472), filed on August 22, 1997.

Item 3. Foreign Listing and Primary Trading Market

Before September 2006, the Company’s common stocks consisted of 450,000,000 Series B Shares and 150,000,000 Series L shares. Holders of Series B Shares were entitled to one vote at any general meeting of the Company’s stockholders for each Series B Share held. Holders of Series L Shares were entitled to one vote for each Series L Share held, but only with respect to certain matters. The Company had UBL Units consisting of one Series B Share and one Series L Share and B Units consisting in two Series B Shares.

During the extraordinary meeting held on April 26, 2006, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s plan to convert the Series L Shares into Series B Shares, with full voting rights, as well as the dissolution of UBL and UBB Units into their components shares.

This process was completed in September 2006 and included two steps: separating the UBL and UBB Units trading on the BMV into their component shares and converting the Series L Shares into Series B Shares, thereby creating a single share class, the Series B Shares. These shares are trading on the BMV. The ADRs, which were traded on the NYSE until April 21, 2023, consists of twelve underlying Series B shares with full voting rights.
