AUCTION”) rules for the sale process of the Public Auction LPEM Nº 01/15 (“AUCTION”) for the sale of portfolios comprised of Industrial Units
operating as sugar mills (“INDUSTRIAL UNITS”), that include movable and real estate property, such as machinery and equipment, transport
equipment, land, buildings and structures, storage tanks, warehouses, workshops, laboratories and devices, power plants, real estate allocated for
housing of workers and sugar warehouses, transferred to SAE by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food
(“SAGARPA”), and the Ministry of Public Administration (“SFP”), in the latter case through the Institute of Administration and Valuation of National
Property (“INDAABIN”) and the rights and obligations described in the terms of sale of the AUCTION (“TERMS OF SALE”).
Capitalized terms used herein and that are not otherwise defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the TERMS OF SALE.
The nine INDUSTRIAL UNITS operating as sugar mills being sold in this AUCTION now represent increased costs to the State, as they do not allow
these resources to be allocated to other goods or services that will meet greater collective needs that the public is interested in having the State
resolve.
Also, with the sale of the INDUSTRIAL UNITS its expected to generate a direct benefit to the society, given that it will enhance sustainable and
sustained development in the agro-industrial and productive sectors and competitiveness in the sugarcane sector and the domestic sugar industry, to
benefit consumers, manufacturers and workers related to this important productive sector through investments with a long-term view for modernization,
innovation, renewal and transformation of these industrial plants.
It should be noted that the effects and consequences of the sale of the INDUSTRIAL UNITS through a public auction are above any particular interest,
since otherwise the attainment of the public purposes could not be guaranteed under the rules and principles laid down in Article 134 of the Constitution,
since the interests of those who might be affected are subordinated to the public interest pursued by these procedures.
Even the Mexican Judiciary Authority of the Federation has been unanimous in its determinations holding that auctions like this one are of public order
and social interest those tendering procedures which are intended to acquisitions, leasing and sales of all kinds of goods, because this allows to
administer with efficiency, effectiveness, economy, transparency and honesty, public resources, while the state gets the better conditions in terms of
price, quality, funding and opportunity to meet the objectives to which it is bound.
Therefore, to address the principles of effectiveness, efficiency and economy, with which the financial resources of the Federal Government must be
managed, we hereby issue this INVITATION TO PUBLIC AUCTION.
