Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended.

This Amendment is being filed to report the increase in percentage of shares owned by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) pursuant to a tender offer completed on July 9, 2021. As a result of the tender offer, the Reporting Persons’ percentage of beneficial ownership in the Issuer’s outstanding capital stock increased to 30.1%(25).

Item 2 is amended to add the following paragraphs:

David Martinez, Fintech Holdings Inc. (“FH”), Bagual S.à r.l. (“Bagual”), Grenadier S.à r.l. (“Grenadier”), Pequod S.à r.l. (“Pequod”), Harpoon S.à r.l. (“Harpoon”), Expanse S.à r.l.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Tender Offer

On May 24, 2021, the Reporting Persons filed a Schedule TO with the SEC (the “Schedule TO”), which included an Offer to Purchase, and commenced a tender offer pursuant to Rule 14d-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) to purchase up to 97,527,888 Series B Shares held by U.S. Persons and Series B Shares represented by outstanding American depositary shares (whether held or not by U.S. Persons and each representing eight Series B Shares, “ADSs”) (the “U.S. Offer”), considering any Series B Shares purchased in the Mexican Offer (as defined below).  The price for the U.S. Offer was Ps.137 per Series B Share and Ps.1,096 per ADS.  The U.S. Offer was made in conjunction with an offer by Aerodrome in Mexico directed to holders of Series B Shares, but not holders of ADSs (the “Mexican Offer” and, together with the U.S. Offer, the “Offers”).

On June 16, 2021, the Reporting Persons amended the Schedule TO previously filed with the SEC in connection with the U.S. Offer, to, among other things, reduce the aggregate amount of Series B Shares, including Series B Shares represented by ADSs, that the Reporting Persons offered to purchase in the Offers from 97,527,888 outstanding Series B Shares to 60,155,201 Series B Shares.

On July 6, 2021, the Reporting Persons amended the Schedule TO previously filed with the SEC in connection with the U.S. Offer announcing the final results of the Offers. Because the Offers were oversubscribed, the Reporting Persons accepted Securities on a prorated basis using a proration factor of approximately 58.49%. As a result, the Reporting Persons announced that they were

accepting for purchase 923,703 ADSs, representing 7,389,624 Series B Shares, and 52,765,577 Series B Shares, for a total of 60,155,201 Series B Shares.

On July 9, 2021, the Offers settled. The offer prices paid by the Reporting Persons were Ps.137 per Series B Share and US$55.09 per ADS (based on the spot market rate for Ps.19.8957 per US$1.00 available to the ADS receiving agent on the settlement date), for a total of approximately Ps.8,241 million.

Except as disclosed in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to this Schedule. The Reporting Persons may in the future acquire Series B Shares or other securities of the Issuer from the Issuer, in the open market, in privately-negotiated purchases or otherwise and may also, depending on then-current circumstances, dispose of all or a portion of the Series B Shares or the Series BB shares owned by the Reporting Persons in one or more transactions and may consider and explore one or more corporate transactions involving the Issuer. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities and to carry out any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to this Schedule, to the extent deemed advisable by the Reporting Persons.  The Reporting Persons continuously analyze investment opportunities and adjust their allocations of capital, which results in many of the considered transactions not proceeding beyond the evaluation stage.

Loan Facility

On July 9, 2021, Aerodrome entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Fintech Investments Ltd. (“FIL”), pursuant to which FIL provided an unsecured term loan in an aggregate amount of the equivalent in U.S. dollars of Ps.7,005,074,000, or 85% of the total amount of funds required to settle the Offers (the “Loan Facility”). The Loan Facility will mature on December 31, 2031, and all outstanding amounts under the Loan Facility will become due and payable on the maturity date. The Loan Facility may be repaid, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, after giving FIL at least five business days’ notice. The Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum. Interest on the Loan Facility will be payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 of each year.

The Loan Agreement is governed by Luxembourg law and any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Loan Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the City of Luxembourg.

Aerodrome intends to repay the Loan Facility with the proceeds of dividends or other distributions paid on the Series B Shares. Aerodrome may also explore opportunities from time to time to refinance the Loan Facility with the proceeds of a bank loan or other financing instrument secured by the Series B Shares owned by it and its affiliates.

The information disclosed in this paragraph does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Loan Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 30 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Investors are urged to read the Loan Agreement for a more complete description of the provisions contained therein.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(2) David Martínez is the sole shareholder of FH.  Bagual, Grenadier, Pequod, Harpoon and Expanse are wholly owned subsidiaries of FH and collectively own 100% of the capital stock of SETA and Aerodrome.  Consequently, David Martínez may be deemed to have the power to vote or to dispose of all Series B Shares directly owned by SETA and Aerodrome.

(4) Bagual, Grenadier, Pequod, Harpoon, and Expanse collectively own 100% of the capital stock of each of SETA and Aerodrome.  Consequently, Bagual, Grenadier, Pequod, Harpoon, and Expanse may be deemed to collectively and indirectly have the power to vote or to dispose of own all Series B Shares directly owned by SETA and Aerodrome.  The shares directly owned by SETA and Aerodrome are considered shared as to voting and dispositive power because 19.7% of the capital stock of each of SETA and Aerodrome is owned by Bagual, 21.5% is owned by Grenadier, 21.5% is owned by Pequod, 20.4% is owned by Harpoon and 17.1% is owned by Expanse.

Bagual, Grenadier, Pequod, Harpoon, and Expanse collectively exercise their rights over the SETA-Owned Series B Shares indirectly through SETA and exercise their rights over the Aerodrome-Owned Series B Shares indirectly through Aerodrome.  FH exercises its rights over the SETA-Owned Series B Shares and the Aerodrome-Owned Series B Shares indirectly through Bagual, Grenadier, Pequod, Harpoon, Expanse, SETA and Aerodrome.  David Martínez exercises his rights over the SETA-Owned Series B Shares and Aerodrome-Owned Series B Shares indirectly through FH, Bagual, Grenadier, Pequod, Harpoon, Expanse, SETA and Aerodrome.

(c) Other than pursuant to the Offers described in Item 4 herein, no transactions in Series B Shares were effected by the Reporting Persons during the 60 day period ended July 9, 2021.
