this prospectus. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risks Relating to Debt Securities </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>There may not be a liquid trading market </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If an active market for our debt securities does not develop, the price of our debt securities and the ability of a holder of debt securities
to find a ready buyer will be adversely affected. We cannot assure you as to the liquidity of any trading market for our debt securities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Creditors of
our subsidiaries will have priority over the holders of our debt securities in claims to assets of our subsidiaries </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our debt
securities will be obligations of FEMSA and not any of our subsidiaries. We conduct substantially all of our business and hold substantially all of our assets through our subsidiaries. Claims of creditors of our subsidiaries, including trade
creditors and bank and other lenders, will have priority over the holders of our debt securities in claims to assets of our subsidiaries. Our ability to meet our obligations, including under our debt securities, will depend, in significant part, on
our receipt of cash dividends, advances and other payments from our subsidiaries. In addition, our creditors may hold negotiable instruments or other instruments governed by local law that grant rights to attach our assets at the inception of
judicial proceedings in the relevant jurisdiction, which attachment is likely to result in priorities benefitting those creditors when compared to the rights of holders of the debt securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Our debt securities will be effectively subordinated to any future secured debt </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our debt securities will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and
future unsubordinated debt. The debt securities will be effectively junior to any secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt in the event that we become subject to a dissolution, liquidation or reorganization proceeding
(<I>concurso mercantil</I>) or to bankruptcy (<I>quiebra</I>). In that event, holders of debt securities may not be able to recover any principal or interest they are due under such debt securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Judgments of Mexican courts enforcing our obligations under the debt securities would be payable only in Mexican pesos </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If proceedings were brought in Mexico seeking to enforce in Mexico our obligations in respect of debt securities, whether as a result of the
enforcement of a judgment or in connection with an original action, we would be required to discharge our obligations in Mexico in Mexican pesos. Under the Mexican Monetary Law (<I>Ley Monetaria de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos</I>), an obligation
denominated in a currency other than Mexican pesos that is payable in Mexico. may be satisfied in Mexican pesos at the rate of exchange in effect on the date of payment. This rate is currently determined by Bank of Mexico (<I>Banco de
M&eacute;xico</I>)<I> </I>and published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (<I>Diario Oficial de la Federaci&oacute;n</I>). As a result, the amount paid by us in Mexican pesos to holders of debt securities may not be readily convertible into
the amount of U.S. dollars or other currency that we are obligated to pay under the applicable indenture. In addition, our obligation to indemnify these holders against exchange losses would be unenforceable in Mexico. </P>

</I>(<I>Ley del Impuesto Sobre la Renta</I>) and rules and regulations thereunder, as currently in effect, of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the debt securities by a holder that is not a resident of Mexico for tax purposes and that will
not hold debt securities or a beneficial interest therein in connection with the conduct of a trade or business through a permanent establishment for tax purposes in Mexico (a &#147;foreign holder&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For purposes of Mexican taxation, tax residency is a highly technical definition that involves the application of a number of factors.
Generally, an individual is a tax resident of Mexico if he or she has established his or her home in Mexico or if his or her &#147;center of vital interest&#148; is located in Mexico, which is deemed to occur if any of the following are met:
(i)&nbsp;more than 50% of such individual&#146;s total income, in any calendar year, is from a Mexican source, or (ii)&nbsp;such individual&#146;s principal center of professional activities is located in Mexico. A Mexican national that is employed
by the Mexican government is deemed to be a resident of Mexico, even in the event that his/her center of vital interests is located outside Mexico. Unless otherwise proven, Mexican nationals are deemed residents of Mexico for tax purposes. A
corporation is considered a tax resident of Mexico if it has established its principal place of business management or its effective seat of business management in Mexico. A permanent establishment in Mexico for tax purposes of a foreign person will
be regarded as a resident of Mexico, and such permanent establishment will be required to pay taxes in Mexico in accordance with applicable tax laws, for any income attributable to such permanent establishment. However, any determination of
residence should take into account the particular situation of each person or legal entity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>U.S./Mexico and Other Tax Treaties </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The United States and Mexico have entered into a Convention for the Avoidance of Double Taxation (collectively, with subsequent Protocols
thereto, referred to as the &#147;tax treaty&#148;). Provisions of the tax treaty that may affect the taxation of certain United States holders are summarized below. The United States and Mexico have also entered into an agreement that covers the
exchange of information with respect to tax matters. Mexico has also entered into and is negotiating several other tax treaties that may reduce the amount of Mexican withholding tax to which payments of interest (or amounts deemed interest) on the
debt securities may be subject. Prospective purchasers of debt securities should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences, if any, of such treaties. </P>

issue price of such debt securities, which, under Mexican law, are deemed to be interest) to a foreign holder will generally be subject to a Mexican withholding tax assessed at a rate of 4.9% if (1)&nbsp;the debt securities are placed through banks
or broker dealers in a country with which Mexico has entered into a tax treaty for the avoidance of double taxation, which is in effect, (2)&nbsp;the CNBV has been notified of the issuance of the debt securities pursuant to the Mexican Income Tax
Law and Article 7 of the Mexican Securities Market Law and its regulations, and (3)&nbsp;the information requirements specified in the general rules of the SHCP and the SAT are satisfied (including the filing of information related to the debt
securities offering and this prospectus). In the event that such requirements are not satisfied, the applicable withholding tax rate will be 10%. We believe that because the conditions described in (1)&nbsp;through (3)&nbsp;above will be satisfied,
the applicable withholding tax rate will be 4.9%. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A higher income tax withholding rate will be applicable when a party related to us,

relevant interest income is exempt from taxation in such country of residence of the fund, and (4)&nbsp;the fund provides information to us, which we can provide to the SAT, in respect of such fund&#146;s place of residence. </P>

(the &#147;Code&#148;), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary deals only with beneficial owners of debt securities that will hold
debt securities as capital assets and acquired such debt securities upon their original issuance at their original issue price. This summary does not address particular tax considerations that may be applicable to investors that are subject to
special tax rules, such as banks, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> entities, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities electing to mark to market, persons that
will hold debt securities as a position in a &#147;straddle&#148; or conversion transaction, or as part of a &#147;synthetic security&#148; or other integrated financial transaction, entities taxed as partnerships or the partners therein, U.S.

their particular situation of the U.S. federal income tax considerations discussed below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This discussion does not address all of the tax

include certain amounts in income no later than the time such amounts are reflected on certain financial statements (the &#147;book/tax conformity rule&#148;). The application of the book/tax conformity rule thus may require the accrual of income
earlier than would be the case under the general tax rules described below. It is not entirely clear to what types of income the book/tax conformity rule applies, or, in some cases, how the rule is to be applied if it is applicable. However,
recently released proposed regulations generally would exclude, among other items, original issue discount and market discount (in either case, whether or not <I>de minimis</I>) from the applicability of the book/tax conformity rule. Although the
proposed regulations generally will not be effective until taxable years beginning after the date on which they are issued in final form, taxpayers generally are permitted to elect to rely on their provisions currently. Accrual method holders should
consult with their tax advisors regarding the potential applicability of the book/tax conformity rule to their particular situation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Payments of

calculation of foreign tax credits and, in the case of a U.S. holder that elects to deduct foreign taxes, the availability of such deduction, involves the application of rules that depend on a U.S. holder&#146;s particular circumstances. U.S.

recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or retirement (less any accrued interest, which will be taxable as such ) and the U.S. holder&#146;s tax basis in such debt security. A U.S.
holder&#146;s tax basis in a debt security will generally equal the cost of the debt security to such holder. Gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder has held the debt security for
more than one year at the time of disposition. Long-term capital gains recognized by an individual holder generally are subject to tax at a lower rate than short-term capital gains or ordinary income. The deduction of capital losses is subject to
limitations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Capital gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder generally will be U.S.-source gain or loss. Consequently, if any such gain
is subject to Mexican withholding tax, a U.S. holder may not be able to credit the tax against its U.S. federal income tax liability unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable conditions and limitations) against tax due on other income
treated as derived from foreign sources. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the foreign tax credit implications of a disposition of the debt securities. </P>

the taxable year or $75,000 at any time during the taxable year are generally required to file an information statement along with their tax returns, currently on Form 8938, with respect to such assets. &#147;Specified foreign financial assets&#148;
include any financial accounts held at a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> financial institution, as well as securities issued by a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> issuer (which may include debt securities issued in
certificated form) that are not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions. Higher reporting thresholds apply to certain individuals living abroad and to certain married individuals. Regulations extend this reporting requirement to
certain entities that are treated as formed or availed of to hold direct or indirect interests in specified foreign financial assets based on certain objective criteria. U.S. holders who fail to report the required information could be subject to
substantial penalties. In addition, the statute of limitations for assessment of tax would be suspended, in whole or part. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning the application of these rules to their investment in
the debt securities, including the application of the rules to their particular circumstances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Information Reporting and Backup Withholding </I></P>

payments. <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-U.S.</FONT> holders may be required to comply with applicable certification procedures to establish that they are not U.S. holders in order to avoid the application of such information reporting
requirements and backup withholding. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. or <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> holder will be allowed as a credit against the holder&#146;s U.S. federal income tax liability and

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">FEMSA is a publicly traded variable stock corporation (<I>sociedad an&oacute;nima burs&aacute;til de capital variable</I>)<I> </I>organized
under the laws of Mexico, with its principal place of business (<I>domicilio social</I>) in Monterrey. In addition, most of our directors, officers and controlling persons, as well as certain experts named in this prospectus, reside outside the
United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets and our assets are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to
enforce against them, either inside or outside the United States, judgments obtained against these persons in U.S. courts, or to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against these persons in courts in jurisdictions outside the United States, in
each case, in any action predicated upon civil liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws. Based on the opinion of Carlos Eduardo Aldrete Ancira, our general counsel, there is doubt as to the enforceability against these persons in Mexico,
whether in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of liabilities predicated solely upon the U.S. federal securities laws. </P>

actions or proceedings relating to the Debt Securities or the Base Indenture is (notwithstanding the waiver in Section&nbsp;115) subject to the power of such courts to transfer actions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. &#167;1404(a) or to dismiss such actions
