Guadalajara, Jalisco, May 21, 2024 – Grupo Simec, S.A.B. de C.V. (the “Company”) hereby informs that it was not able to timely file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 20-F”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

As reported by the Company in its Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on May 1, 2024, the Company has been conducting additional procedures and analyses related to its disclosure, internal process controls, and the finalization of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 to facilitate the filing of its Form 20-F. The Company is currently uncertain as to the date by which these analyses will be concluded, which will enable the filing of the Form 20-F with the SEC.

As a result of this delay, the Company is currently not in compliance with SEC reporting requirements and the procedures and requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Company has been in contact and will continue to communicate with the NYSE to discuss the status of the Form 20-F filing in relation to the exchange’s listing standards, as well as the procedures and requirements necessary to cure the late filing of the Form 20-F. The Company is diligently continuing these efforts to expedite the completion of the necessary procedures and anticipates filing the Form 20-F as promptly as possible.

In the meantime, to access the Company’s results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, please refer to the Company’s Form 6-K furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2024.
