ASUR PROPOSES TO ITS SHAREHOLDERS THE INTERNALIZATION OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICES, AN EXTRAORDINARY DIVIDEND, AND AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S BYLAWS
Bringing these specialized technical assistance and technology transfer services in-house represents a significant step in our strategy to strengthen our profitability and streamline our operations. Under the new structure, ASUR would assume the technical assistance and technology transfer functions currently provided by ITA.

Morgan Securities LLC, "J.P. Morgan," and Bufete Robles Miaja, S.C., as independent external advisors.
The internalization will be carried out through the merger of one or more entities into ASUR. The material terms of the internalization will be described in an information document that will soon be available to assist shareholders in their free and informed decision-making process on our website at the following address: www.asur.com.mx and on the website of the Mexican Stock Exchange, S.A.B. de C.V., at the following address: www.bmv.com.mx, once an Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting is called.
As a result of this business combination, if approved by our shareholders, we would expect to issue and put into circulation approximately 7,251,000 new shares representing our capital stock, under the terms described in the aforementioned information document.
