INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

 

This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with any subsequent amendments, supplements, restatements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 24, 2021 by Aerodrome Infrastructure S.à r.l. (“Aerodrome”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Luxembourg, an affiliate of Servicios de Tecnología Aeroportuaria, S.A. de C.V. (“SETA”), a Mexican corporation, and beneficially owned by Bagual S.à.r.l. (“Bagual”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Luxembourg, Grenadier S.à.r.l. (“Grenadier”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Luxembourg, Pequod S.à.r.l. (“Pequod”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Luxembourg, Harpoon S.à.r.l. (“Harpoon”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Luxembourg, Expanse S.à.r.l. (“Expanse”), a limited liability company organized under the laws of Luxembourg, Fintech Holdings Inc. (“FH”), a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware and David Martínez (“Mr. Martínez” and, together with Aerodrome, SETA, Bagual, Grenadier, Pequod, Harpoon, Expanse and FH, the “Offerors”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer (the “U.S. Offer”) by the Offerors to purchase up to 60,155,201 shares of outstanding Series  B ordinary shares held by U.S. Persons (the “Series B Shares”) of Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, S.A.B. de C.V. (“OMA”) and Series B Shares represented by outstanding American Depositary Shares (whether held or not by U.S. Persons and each representing eight Series B Shares, “ADSs” and, together with the Series B Shares, the “Securities”).

 

The information in the Schedule TO is incorporated in this Amendment No. 2 by reference to all of the applicable items in the Schedule TO. This Amendment No. 2 is being filed to amend and supplement Items 1 through 11 as reflected below. Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment No. 2, the information set forth in the Schedule TO remains unchanged.

 

Items 1 through 10.

 

Items 1 through 10 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Size of the Offers

 

The Offerors expect to be unable to consummate a financing transaction yielding net proceeds sufficient to fund the aggregate cash consideration to be paid in the U.S. Offer and therefore the Offerors expect that the financing condition relating to the U.S. Offer will not be satisfied on or prior to 8:00 a.m., New York City time on June 22, 2021, the original expiration date of the U.S. Offer (the “Original Expiration Date”). As a result, the Offerors are reducing the aggregate amount of Series B Shares, including Series B Shares represented by ADSs, that the Offerors are offering to purchase in the U.S. Offer and the concurrent offer in Mexico (the “Mexican Offer” and, together with the U.S. Offer, the “Offers”) from 97,527,888 outstanding Series B Shares to 60,155,201 Series B Shares. If the Offers are fully subscribed, the Offerors will beneficially own approximately 30.1% of OMA’s outstanding capital stock upon completion of the Offers.

 

All references in the U.S. Offer to Purchase, the related ADS letter of transmittal, the Series B acceptance letter and related documents filed by the Offerors with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “U.S. Tender Offer Materials”), to an offer to purchase up to 97,527,888 outstanding Series B Shares, including Series B Shares represented by ADSs, are hereby amended and restated to refer to an offer to purchase up to 60,155,201 Series B Shares, including Series B Shares represented by ADSs. All references in the U.S. Tender Offer Materials to the Offerors beneficially owning approximately 39.7% of OMA’s outstanding capital stock if the Offers are fully subscribed are hereby amended and restated to refer to the Offerors beneficially owning approximately 30.1% of OMA’s outstanding capital stock if the Offers are fully subscribed.

 

Financing Condition and Minimum Tender Condition

 

The Offerors are waiving the financing condition described in the U.S. Offer to Purchase (the “Financing Condition”). The Offerors expect to fund the aggregate cash consideration to be paid in the Offers with cash on hand and the proceeds of intercompany loans from related parties of the Offerors.

 

The Offerors are also waiving the minimum tender condition described in the U.S. Offer to Purchase consisting of there being validly tendered in the Offers and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offers at least 19,505,578 Series B Shares, including Series B Shares represented by ADSs (the “Minimum Tender Condition”).

 

Other than the Financing Condition and the Minimum Tender Condition, which have been waived and are therefore no longer applicable, the U.S. Offer remains subject to the satisfaction of the other remaining conditions set forth in THE TENDER OFFER — Section 13. Conditions of the U.S. Offer.”

 

All references in the U.S. Tender Offer Materials to the Financing Condition or the U.S. Offer being subject to financing, as well as any references to the Minimum Tender Condition or to the U.S. Offer being subject to there being validly tendered in the Offers and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offers a minimum number of Securities, are hereby removed.

 

 

 

 

The U.S. Offer to Purchase is further amended as follows:

 

The response to the question “Do you have the financial resources to pay for the Securities?” in the SUMMARY TERM SHEET” section is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

“The Offerors expect to fund the aggregate cash consideration to be paid in the Offers with cash on hand and the proceeds of intercompany loans from related parties of the Offerors. The Offerors will provide a summary of such intercompany loans, containing the identity of the parties, the term, any collateral, the stated and effective interest rates, and other material terms and conditions of the loans once these terms have been agreed with such related parties.”

 

The second paragraph in the THE TENDER OFFER — Section 5. Source and Amount of Funds; Certain Requirements Regarding Offer Price — Fundssection is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

We plan to acquire the tendered Securities, and to cover any related fees and expenses in connection with the Offers using cash on hand and the proceeds of intercompany loans from related parties of the Offerors.”

 

New Expiration Date

 

As a result of the changes described above, the U.S. Offer is being extended from the Original Expiration Date to 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 30, 2021, unless further extended (the “New Expiration Date”).

 

All references in the U.S. Tender Offer Materials to the Original Expiration Date are hereby amended and restated to refer to the New Expiration Date.

 

Withdrawal Rights

 

Based on the New Expiration Date, the period for holders of Securities to exercise withdrawal rights has been extended through the New Expiration Date. Any Securities previously tendered and to be tendered prior to the New Expiration Date may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to the New Expiration Date but not thereafter, unless withdrawal rights are required to be reinstated in accordance with applicable law, including in the event tendered Securities have not been accepted for purchase by July 22, 2021 (the day that is 60 days after the commencement date of the U.S. Offer).

 

All references in the U.S. Tender Offer Materials are hereby amended to reflect the new deadline to exercise withdrawal rights.

 

A press release announcing the changes to the U.S. Offer described above is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(x) and incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 11. Additional Information

 

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 16, 2021, 52,930 Series B Shares and 273,479 ADSs (representing 2,187,832 Series B Shares) had been tendered pursuant to the Offers.
