Onexa is the holding company of Alestra, S. de R.L. ( Alestra ). On January 15, 2016, Axtel and Onexa held Extraordinary Meetings where the Stockholders approved the merge and the members of the Board of Directors, the General Director and the Audit and Corporate Practices Committees were appointed. After finishing the legal, operating and financial review process and obtaining the approvals from authorities, the transaction was effective on February 15, 2016. The merge allows combining the competitive advantages of both companies, including qualified human resources, new technologies and a wide service infrastructure to meet the increasing market demand. Furthermore, scale economy synergies will arise, as well as efficiency in network integration and skill transfer. The merged entity, Axtel, is a Mexican company engaged in providing fixed and comprehensive telecommunications services (data transmission services, Internet, local and long-distance telephone services) and is expected to continue to be traded in the Mexican Stock Exchange ( BMV ). Under the merger agreement, ALFA acquired 50.19% of the combined entity s voting shares, in exchange for 100% of Onexa voting shares. The Agreements established a series of rights and obligations for the parties involved in terms of corporate governance and decision making, that granted ALFA the ability to direct activities related to the merged entity, mainly due to the fact that ALFA appoints most of the members of the Board of Directors and the main Directors who hold the power to direct the merged entity s relevant operations. The Agreements were intended to reasonably anticipate likely future events of the subsidiary and their stockholders during the term of the contract and to set forth the manner accorded to them. Examples include: approval of the generality rules for the business plan; approval of the budget and of ordinary and extraordinary corporate events; changes in Axtel ownership; and resolution of disputes between the stockholders. In accordance with IFRS requirements, ALFA acquired control of Axtel, as the former has the ability to direct its most relevant activities (See Note 5). In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 3 Business Combinations (IFRS 3), the merger represents a business acquisition and has therefore been recorded by the purchase method established in IFRS 3. Axtel and Alestra operations are considered a single business for accounting purposes, in accordance with IFRS 3. This acquisition is included in Axtel s segment (See Note 31). The acquisition was recorded, distributing the total assets acquired, including intangible assets and assumed liabilities, based on the fair values determined at the date of acquisition. The acquisition cost in excess of the net fair values of the assets acquired and assumed liabilities has been recorded as goodwill.
Total consideration transferred by ALFA amounted to $6,851, corresponding to the fair value of its investment in Onexa (Alestra), which was merged with Axtel, and in exchange received 9,594,008,144 new common shares of the combined entity (equivalent to 50.19 % of its capital) with an equivalent fair value of $0.7140 per share. This exchange resulted in a gain of $1,785, which was recognized in accumulated results, as it represents the sale of 49.81% of Onexa to the non-controlling interest. The fair value of the shares of the new combined entity issued in favor of ALFA was determined based on the market value of the Axtel share on the Mexican Stock Exchange in effect on the day before the date of the transaction.

Goodwill is mainly comprised of the market share obtained through expanded capacity of the Company s asset base. It arises from the acquisition and represents the compensation transferred in excess of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. The goodwill recorded is not deductible for tax purposes. The non-controlling interest was recognized based on the proportional interest of Axtel s net assets acquired.

L. acquired 37% additional shares of Campofrío Food Group, S.A. The shares that up to June 3, 2015 were owned by WH Group were acquired firstly by ALFA, through the payment of a consideration of Ps5,367 (US$354), which were subsequently transferred to Sigma. Prior to the acquisition date, the accounting value of 37% was Ps2,710, consequently, a decrease in retained earnings of Ps2,657 was recorded. After this acquisition, equity in this subsidiary is shown below: Indirect equity of ALFA as of December 31, 2014 57.52% Acquisition of shares from WH Group on June 18, 2015 37.00% Indirect equity of Sigma as of December 31, 2015 94.52% On June 9, 2014, ALFA obtained control over Campofrío Food Group, S. A. ( Campofrío ) as a result of: i) the end of the Public Offer of shares of Campofrío in the Spanish stock market and ii) the coming into force of the agreement signed on January 1, 2014 between ALFA and WH Group Ltd. (WH). The aforementioned agreement was concluded on June 3, 2015. As a result of the acquisition of Sigma in the equity of WH Group Ltd. in Campofrío. This agreement established several rights and obligations of the parties involved in relation with the corporate governance and the transfer of shares of Campofrío, giving ALFA the capacity to guide relevant activities. The agreement intended to fairly anticipate probable events in the future of the subsidiary and its stockholders during the effective term of the agreement and to anticipate the way in which these will be treated. Examples include: the approval of the business plan, the approval of ordinary and extraordinary corporate events; changes in the ownership of Campofrío; the need for additional capital contributions of the existing stockholders or new investors and the resolution of claims between stockholders. It also provided the flexibility to face unforeseen events, as may be maintaining the capacity to make decisions quickly and effectively; establishing termination conditions when a shareholder wishes to terminate the relationship for any reason; and basis for the solution of controversies among stockholders or to solve an agreement interpretation issue. The agreement created incentives for the parties to be able to solve the controversies through consensus, seeking to be determined as efficiently as possible so that Campofrío continues with minimum interruption.
The indirect equity of ALFA in Campofrío at the date the agreement became effective, accounted for using the equity method, was 45% as shown below: Equity of ALFA in Campofrío at December 31, 2013 46.31% Acquisitions at June 9, 2014 3.29% Sales at June 9, 2014 (4.60%) Equity of ALFA in Campofrío at June 9, 2014 45.00% Since the acquisition and up to June 9, 2014, net income of Campofrío was not material. For business combinations made in stages, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) require any previous equity of the acquiring party in an acquired party is adjusted at fair value at the acquisition date and that any resulting gain (or loss) is reported in the consolidated statement of income. IFRS also require all previously recorded amounts in the consolidated comprehensive statement of income in relation with such investments be reclassified in the consolidated income account, as if such investment had been sold. ALFA has estimated the fair value of 45% of equity in Campofrío at Ps5,498 on June 9, 2014, date when control was obtained. The effect of measuring the 45% equity ownership of Campofrío at fair value before the date when control is obtained was immaterial in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2014. Since no additional consideration was made by ALFA to obtain control (June 9, 2014), the fair value of 45% is considered as the acquisition price of Campofrío. The amount of the consideration paid for Campofrío at the date control was obtained amounted to Ps5,498. Assets and liabilities recorded as a result of the business combination at June 9, 2014 are as follows: Fair value Cash and cash equivalents Ps 1,576 Trade and other accounts receivable, net 2,830 Inventories 6,948 Property, plant, and equipment 14,268 Intangible 8,483 Investments recorded using the equity method 693 Other assets 3,199 Suppliers and other accounts payable (11,829) Debt (10,820) Income tax deferred and others (6,671) Employee benefits (1,144) Total identified assets, net 7,533 Non-controlling interest (4,143) Goodwill 2,108 Total consideration paid Ps 5,498 As a result of the transactions, goodwill was recorded in the amount of Ps2,108 at December 31, 2014, which was allocated to Sigma s operating segment. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill include scale economies through combined opportunities, obtaining better operating margins in the packaging material and the exchange of best practices. Goodwill associated to this business combination is not deductible for income tax purposes. Consolidated statements of income include revenues of Campofrío of Ps17,572 from June 9 to December 31, 2014. Campofrío contributed a net income amounting to Ps223 in the same period. If the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2014, Campofrío s contribution to the consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 would have amounted to Ps33,972 and net income to Ps226. The information on combined revenues and net income for the period does not include any savings in costs or other integration effects of Campofrío in ALFA. Consequently, these amounts are not necessarily indicative income had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2014, or those that may result in the future.
After taking control of Campofrío, ALFA acquired additional indirect equity, as shown below: Indirect equity of ALFA at June 9, 2014: 45.00% Acquisitions at December 31, 2014: 12.52% Indirect equity of ALFA at December 31, 2014: 57.52% The acquisitions item at December 31, 2014 corresponds mainly to the acquisition of shares of Campofrío made after the Public Offer of the non-controlling interest. Since control over Campofrío was obtained as a result of the agreement with WH, these transactions have been accounted for as acquisitions of non-controlling interest. The difference between the accounting value of the non-controlling interest acquired and the price paid was recorded in retained earnings. Additionally, expenses derived from transaction costs related to the acquisition were made in the amount of Ps84. Campofrío s shares were listed in the Spanish Stock Exchange up to September 19, 2014, when they were unlisted. f) Investment in Pacific Exploration & Production, Corporation (formerly Pacific Rubiales Energy) During 2014, ALFA acquired 59,897,800 ordinary shares from Pacific Exploration & Production, Corporation (PRE), which represents approximately 19% of the total outstanding shares, in the amount of Ps14,135. The shares were acquired in the Toronto, Canada stock market. PRE is a public company engaged in the exploration and production of oil and gas in Colombia, listed in Toronto and Canada s stock markets. This investment was recorded as Financial assets available for sale, and is shown as current assets and recorded at fair value. The changes in such value are recorded directly in stockholders equity.
