This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO (together with any exhibits and annexes attached hereto, and as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, this “Amendment”) is being filed by Edificio del Noroeste, S.A. de C.V., a private corporation (sociedad anónima de capital variable) organized under the laws of the United Mexican States (the “Purchaser”), and amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on combined Schedule TO and Schedule 13E-3 under cover of Schedule TO, filed by Purchaser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 6, 2022 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase any and all issued and outstanding (i) Series B shares, without par value (the “Series B Shares”), of Industrias Bachoco, S.A.B. de C.V., a publicly-held corporation (sociedad anónima bursátil de capital variable) organized under the laws of United Mexican States (the “Company”) held by U.S. holders (within the meaning of Rule 14d-1(d) under the Exchange Act) and (ii) American Depositary Shares (each of which represents twelve Series B Shares) of the Company (the “ADSs,” and together with the Series B Shares, the “Shares”), held by holders, wherever located, in each case other than any Shares owned directly or indirectly by the Robinson Bours Family and/or its affiliates, for Ps.81.66 in cash per Series B Share and Ps.979.92 in cash per ADS (together, the “U.S. Offer Price”), without interest and less (i) any applicable brokerage fees and commissions, (ii) any applicable foreign exchange conversion expenses with respect to the conversion of Mexican pesos to U.S. dollars, and (iii) applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated October 6, 2022 (the “Offer to Purchase”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(i) to the Schedule TO, and the related Acceptance for Series B Shares and ADS Letter of Transmittal (each as defined in the Offer to Purchase, and together, “Letters of Transmittal”), copies of which are attached as Exhibits (a)(ii) and (a)(iii), respectively, to the Schedule TO (all of which, as amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Offer”). Concurrently with the Offer, Purchaser is making a separate all cash tender offer in Mexico to purchase Series B Shares from all holders, wherever located, if, pursuant to the local laws and regulations applicable to such holders, they are permitted to participate in such offer (the “Mexican Offer”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the meaning given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

 

Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the information set forth in the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase (including all schedules thereto) and the related Letters of Transmittal, remains unchanged and is hereby expressly incorporated by reference to the extent relevant to the items in this Amendment.

 

Items 1 through 11; Item 13.

 

The Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 11 and Item 13 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such Items 1 through 11 and Item 13 incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs thereto:

 

The U.S. Offer expired as scheduled at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 4, 2022. The Tender Agent has advised Purchaser that as of the Expiration Date, no Series B Shares and a total of 1,456,768 ADSs, representing in the aggregate approximately 51.61% of the Company’s outstanding ADSs, were properly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the U.S. Offer. These amounts include 261,267 ADSs tendered via notice of guaranteed delivery and not yet delivered as of the date of this amendment. All conditions to the U.S. Offer having been satisfied, Purchaser accepted for payment, and expects to pay for, all Series B Shares and ADSs properly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the U.S. Offer at a purchase price of Ps.81.66 in cash per Series B Share and Ps.979.92 in cash per ADS. As a result of the U.S. Offer and the Mexican Offer, the shareholding of the Purchaser (including affiliates and related parties) in the Company will increase to approximately 87.77% of its share capital, assuming all ADSs tendered via notice of guaranteed delivery are timely delivered.
