MEXICO CITY, Feb. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Grupo
Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: ASR; BMV:
ASUR) ("ASUR" or the "Company"), a leading international
airport group with operations in Mexico, the U.S. and Colombia, today announced that in compliance
with Article 54 of the General Regulations Applicable to Securities
Issuers it provides clarification to this note sent to the
Company by the Mexican Stock Exchange: "Aberdeen Asset
Management, which holds an ownership stake of 14.44% in the Series
B shares of ASUR, aims to eliminate two of the elements that make
up the core fiber of the company: the Technical Assistance and
Technology Transfer Agreement and the existence of two share
classes with different voting rights. The subsidiary of British
Standard Life Aberdeen seeks that the Board of Directors of ASUR
convenes an extraordinary shareholders' meeting to put to the vote
the modifications, since it considers the current structure is no
longer adequate."
ASUR reports that Aberdeen has not complied with the formal
requirements to request that an Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting
be convened. ASUR does not have, nor will it have any further
comments on the matter until Aberdeen meets those requirements.
