NAFIN GREEN BOND ANNUAL COMPLIANCE REVIEW October 30, 2017 Type of engagement: Annual Review Engagement leader: Ankita Shukla, ankita.shukla@sustainalytics.com +1 416 861 0403 Introduction In October 2015, Nacional Financiera, S.N.C, ( NAFIN ) issued a green bond aimed at funding eligible wind energy generation projects in Mexico. NAFIN engaged Sustainalytics for an annual review in October 2016 to review all the projects funded in 2015 through the issued green bond, and provide an assessment as to whether the projects met the Use of Proceeds criteria and the Reporting commitments outlined in the Green Bond Framework. NAFIN engaged Sustainalytics in October 2017 for its second annual review of eligible projects. Compliance Evaluation Criteria Sustainalytics evaluated ten wind farm projects for compliance based on whether the projects: 1. Met the Use of Proceeds criteria outlined in the Green Bond Framework 2. Reported on two Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) outlined in the Green Bond Framework Sustainalytics has not verified the methodology or accuracy of the carbon emissions data reported as part of this engagement. Table 1 lists the Use of Proceeds and Reporting criteria. Table 1: Use of Proceeds and Reporting Criteria Use of Proceeds criteria Renewable Energy Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Energy produced from renewable sources CO2e or other GHG Emissions reduced or avoided Issuing Entity s Responsibility NAFIN is responsible for providing accurate information and documentation relating to the details of the project that has been funded, including description of projects, estimated and realized costs of projects, and project impact.

Independence and Quality Control Sustainalytics, a leading provider of ESG and corporate governance research and ratings to investors, conducted the verification of NAFIN s Green Bond Framework and provided an independent opinion. The work undertaken as part of this engagement included conversations with relevant NAFIN employees and review of relevant documentation to confirm the conformance with the Green Bond Framework. Sustainalytics made all efforts to ensure the highest quality and rigor during its assessment process and enlisted its Sustainability Bonds Review Committee to provide oversight over the assessment of the review. Exceptions No exceptions were identified. All projects aligned with the Renewable Energy Use of Proceeds criteria as well as the Reporting criteria. Conclusion Based on the limited assurance procedures conducted, nothing has come to Sustainalytics attention that causes us to believe that, in all material respects, the allocation of USD 417 million from NAFIN s green bond, issued to fund eligible green projects, is not in conformance with the Use of Proceeds and Reporting criteria outlined in the NAFIN Green Bond Framework. As per information provided by NAFIN, the pending USD 83 million disbursements are hold in NAFIN s liquidity portfolio, invested in overnight and short-term Investments.
