FOLLOW-UP MORAL DAMAGE RULING
Mexico City, March 16, 2022.- Following up on the relevant events published by Aleatica S.A.B. de C.V. (“Aleatica” or the “Company”) (BMV: ALEATIC) on September 23, 2015, and April 19, 2021, the Company informs that the Ninth Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of Mexico City (the “Court”) resolved, in a final second stage ruling, subject to challenge, the following:
1. Confirmation in all of its terms the condemnation imposed in first instance to Infraiber S.A. de C.V. (“Infraiber”) for having caused moral damage to Aleatica and its subsidiary Concesionaria Mexiquense, S.A. de C.V. (“Conmex”). In this regard, the Court stated that Infraiber, through its legal representative, Paulo Díez Gargari, carried out “a massive campaign in communications media which evidently damaged the rights” of Aleatica, based on injurious imputations, “(…) being clear that it was with the intention to harm the Claimants (Aleatica and Conmex) derived from the SIVA (Sistema Independiente de Verificación de Aforo Vehicular) conflict and its intention to recover its business”.
2. Confirmation to condemn Infraiber to repair the moral damage caused to Aleatica and Conmex, which implies that: (i) the condemned entity must publish the ruling in the media and formats that were used for the false information campaign and, (ii) Infraiber must pay a monetary compensation, to be determined in the ruling execution stage. Additionally, the ruling mentions that the amount of the compensation to be paid by Infraiber “must be determined taking into account the maximum diffusion that was given to the illegal imputations subject matter of the controversy, and the particular circumstances of the contending parties which are private companies”.
