Accordingly, each shareholder would be urged to make his or her own decision as to whether to participate in the offer, and, if he or she does so, how many shares to participate, based on the information available, including each shareholder's investment objectives, recent market prices of the shares, each shareholder's own perspectives for the Company and any other factors that each shareholder considers relevant to his or her investment decision.

Also, the members of the Board of Directors of the Company who are also shareholders of the Company and its Chief Executive Officer, stated their decision, and informed about the decision of their related persons to participate in the offer, with respect to their shares, other than those held through Edificio del Noroeste, S.A. de C.V. and affiliates thereof, if the offer is made under the terms announced by Bachoco, and assuming that the economic and market circumstances in general are maintained. The members of the Board, present at the deliberation, stated that they do not consider that there are any conflicts of interest with respect to the offer referred to in these resolutions, and the members of the Board, part of the Bours family and related parties, previously stated that they do not consider that there is a direct conflict of interest with respect to the offer.
