Cydsa Adjourns Noteholders Meeting and Extends Deadline for
Submitting Proxies
MONTERREY, Mexico, Dec. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cydsa, S.A. de C.V.
("Cydsa") announced today that it has adjourned the meeting of holders of its
U.S.$158,997,000 9.375% Notes due 2009 (the "Existing Notes"), for want of a
quorum, to Wednesday, January 19, 2005 at 9 a.m., New York City time (2:00
p.m., London time), and it has extended the deadline for submitting proxies to
Friday, January 14, 2005 at 12:00 noon, New York City time (5:00 p.m., London
time).
On November 16, 2004, Cydsa launched a proxy solicitation in favor of an
extraordinary resolution (the "Extraordinary Resolution") to exchange (the
"Exchange") each U.S.$1,000 principal amount outstanding of its Existing Notes
plus accrued and unpaid interest for 172.12117 shares of its Series A Common
Stock, 860.60585 shares of its Series C Stock and U.S.$160.38038 principal
amount of its newly issued Convertible Debentures. The Exchange will be
effected on the terms and the conditions set forth in Cydsa's Proxy
Solicitation Statement and Offering Circular, dated November 16, 2004, as
Supplemented on December 15, 2004 (the "Statement"), and related offering
documents. To more fully understand the terms of the proxy solicitation,
holders of the Existing Notes should carefully read the entire Statement and
the other documents to which it refers, including the proxy.
Holders who held Existing Notes as of the close of business, New York City
time, on Monday, November 29, 2004 are entitled to vote on the Extraordinary
Resolution. Cydsa urges all holders of its Existing Notes to deliver their
originally executed proxies in respect of the Extraordinary Resolution to the
proxy and exchange agent as soon as possible. Proxies submitted by holders of
record before the original proxy submission deadline, in anticipation of the
originally scheduled meeting on December 15, 2004, remain valid, if given by
holders of Existing Notes who were holders of record on November 29, 2004,
unless revoked. Cydsa will distribute revised proxies and other materials
reflecting the new meeting and proxy submission dates; however, holders may
also use the forms previously distributed. Cydsa also urges holders, including
those who already have submitted proxies, to ensure that their proxy forms
contain their requested account information at Euroclear and Clearstream, to
facilitate the proper crediting of the New Securities issued in the Exchange.
Holders should contact the information agent, at the number listed below, with
any questions.
The passing of the Extraordinary Resolution at the adjourned meeting requires
votes cast, in person or by proxy, in favor of the Extraordinary Resolution
amounting to at least 75% of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum of
more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Existing Notes,
other than Existing Notes held by Cydsa, its subsidiaries or its nominees, is
represented in person or by proxy.

2004 at 10:00 a.m. New York City time (3:00 p.m. London time), votes
