Mexican Subsidiaries
|
The transaction contemplated by this Agreement involves only the transfer of the Sale Shares of the Company, a Luxembourg
company, and not a transfer of shares of any other company of the group controlled by the Company. The Company indirectly owns 100% of shares in each of the following Mexican companies: Atento Mexico Holdco S. de X.X. de C.V.; Atento Servicios S.A.
de C.V.; and Atento Atención y Servicios, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, the “Mexican Subsidiaries”). In order to comply with the Mexican Federal Economic Competition Law, and in particular Article 87 thereof, it
is agreed that completion of the Luxembourg transaction will not have any legal or material effects in the Mexican territory until notification has been made to, and clearance obtained from, the Comisión Federal de
Competencia Económica (“COFECE”) for Mexico. To ensure such absence of legal or material effect in Mexican territory, each Buyer, severally, and not jointly, undertakes to refrain from exercising any
and all rights arising under the Sale Shares being purchased by such Buyer hereunder, in each case, to the extent such exercise relates to the respective capital stock, rights or assets of the Mexican Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, any
and all rights with respect to sale, lease or other transfer of capital stock, rights or assets of the Mexican Subsidiaries, voting rights and rights to otherwise influence corporate decisions of, or relating to, the Mexican Subsidiaries; provided that this undertaking by such Buyer will cease to be effective on earlier of (i) the date that is 150 days following the date hereof, or such later date as determined by such Buyer to allow COFECE to
examine this transaction, and (ii) the date on which COFECE shall have approved, consented to or otherwise authorized the acquisition of the Sale Shares being purchased by such Buyer.
