10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">As previously announced in a press release
issued by Grupo Simec S.A.B. de C.V. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) on April 29, 2016, attached as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 6-K filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the same date, the Company has determined that it is unable to file its Annual Report
on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the &#8220;Form 20-F&#8221;) by the prescribed due date.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The Company is unable to file its Form 20-F
within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense due to the fact that the Company has not finalized its
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, nor have the Company&#8217;s external auditors had the opportunity
to complete their audit of the financial statements to be included in the Form 20-F, in particular, because the preparation of
the external auditor&#8217;s report for one of our subsidiaries in the United States has required a more detailed analysis and
additional deliveries of information to external auditors.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The Company intends to file its Form 20-F
with the Securities and Exchange Commission as promptly as practicable; however, at this time the Company anticipates that it will
not be able be able to do so within the extension period of fifteen calendar days provided under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.</P>
