Institución de Banca Múltiple, Fideicomiso Irrevocable número F/00854, the first real estate investment trust specialized in shopping centers, announced today four additional expansions to its shopping center portfolio. FibraShop continues to execute its business plan, not only through the acquisition of new shopping centers, but also through maximizing current properties within its portfolio by taking advantage of its expertise in shopping centers, which allows it to maximize its relationships with existing tenants of the leading brands operating in the Mexican market. FibraShop announced the expansion in four shopping centers from its current portfolio, adding to an investment of approximately Ps. 215 million, which translates to a GLA (gross leasable area) growth of 18 thousand square meters and 13.5 thousand square meters in parking space. As a result, FibraShop s GLA will add 411 thousand square meters, a 193% increase, in terms of GLA since the beginning of its operations.

2 Following are the details of each of the expansions: Plaza Cibeles The expansion at Plaza Cibeles, as previously announced, included the expansion in GLA during the first stage of 12,882 square meters in store space and a parking deck with three levels of 41,548 square meters, equivalent to 1,131 additional parking slots, which are already in operation. During the second stage, 9,165 square meters will be added in GLA to incorporate a Sears department store, as well as a new parking level, adding to the expansion 13,545 square meters and 362 additional parking slots. 2

3 The expected completion date for the first stage construction will be during the second quarter of 2015 and the work for the second stage is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of Plaza Kukulcan On November 6, Soriana opened its doors, expanding Plaza Kukulcan s retail space. As a result of a contract signed with Forever 21 a few months ago, the shopping center space is currently being remodeled. The work is expected to be completed by May

Moreover, FibraShop is presently negotiating with two international brands to add them to the shopping center following the same large format and emblematic store front concept. The addition of these new brands with large formats, have shifted the current tenant distribution in the shopping center. Some tenants previously at store fronts have moved to other spaces inside the shopping center and others will vacate the shopping center. The new expansion at Plaza Kukulcan also foresees the addition of a cinema complex with an extension of 1,160 square meters.

With this expansion, about 3,000 square meters will be added in GLA while increasing the offering of services at the shopping center as well as expanding the current gastronomy choices. 4
