After giving effect to the cancellation, GCSA's share capital will be represented by 28,226,683 class A shares entitled to five votes each, 69,203,544 class B shares entitled to one vote each, and 9,345,777 class C shares entitled to one vote each. On that same day, CVH will issue shares of common stock having an aggregate par value of Ps. 180,642,580, represented by 47,753,621 class A shares entitled to five votes each, 117,077,867 class B shares entitled to one vote each and 15,811,092 class c shares entitled to one vote each. In accordance with the approved split-ratio, each shareholder of GCSA will receive for each share of GCSA: (i) 0.6285 shares of CVH and (ii) will retain 0.3715 shares of GCSA, in each case class A, B or C shares, as applicable.
