1.WHY WAS THE ENERGY REFORM

• TO INCREASE THE ENERGY PRODUCTION

LEVELS

• TO OPEN OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRIVATE INVESTMENT, TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER, INDUSTRIAL KNOW-HOW AND COMPETITION, ALLOWING THE COUNTRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ITS VAST NATURAL RESOURCES

• TO FOSTER ECONOMIC GROWTH, WHICH IN THE PAST THREE DECADES HAS AVERAGED 2.4% ANNUALY

• TO PRODUCE MORE ENERGY AT LOWER COSTS • TO PROMOTE THE USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY

2. OIL PRODUCTION

OIL PRODUCTION IN MEXICO HAS DECREASED, DESPITE THE INCREASED INVESTMENT FOR EXPLORATION AND PRODUCCTION

3.- GAS DEMAND

• THE DEMAND HAS INCREASED • THE PRODUCTION HAS REDUCED THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN GENERATED THAT IMPORTS REACH 30% OF THE NATIONAL CONSUMPTION IN 2013

4. ELECTRICITY RATES

5. FORECAST

IF THIS TREND CONTINUES, IN A FEW YEARS MEXICO WILL BECOME A NET ENERGY IMPORTER

PRIMARY ENERGY: NATIONAL CONSUMPTION AND PRODUCTION

6. RELEVANT ASPECTS OF THE

MEXICAN ENERGY REFORM

• ALLOWS PRIVATE AND FOREIGN INVESTMENT, COVERED BY DIFFERENT KINDS OF CONTRACTS

• PEMEX WILL HAVE THE PRIORITY OF CHOICE ON AREAS THAT

CAN EXPLOIT WITH THEIR OWN RESOURCES

• PEMEX TAX BURDEN WILL BE LESS • RENEWAL ENERGY WILL REDUCE GAS EMISSIONS AND

THEREFOR REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS • GRADUALLY ALLOW SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF GASOLINE BY

PRIVATE COMPANIES

• CREATION OF THE MEXICAN OIL FUND

7. MAIN BENEFITS

• INCREASE IN ELECTRICITY, GAS AND OIL

PRODUCTION

• INCREASE IN GAS AND OIL RESERVES

• GENERATE ONE PERCENTAGE POINT OF

ECONOMIC GROWTH IN 2018 AND TWO

MORE POINTS FOR 2025

• CREATE NEARLY A HALF MILLION

ADDITIONAL JOBS IN THE CURRENT

ADMINISTRATION AND TWO AND A HALF

MILLION MORE FOR 2025.

• REDUCE ENVIROMENTAL RISKS

• INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY IN THE INDUSTRY

AND COMPANIES

8. AUTHORITIES AND STATE-

OWNED COMPANIES

THE MINISTRY OF ENERGY (“SENER”): WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SELECTION OF AREAS TECHNICAL DESIGN OF CONTRACTS AND THE TECHNICAL GUIDELINES ASSOCIATED WITH THE BIDDING PROCESSES.

THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE (“SHCP”): SHALL ESTABLISH THE TAXATION RELATED TO BIDDING PROCESSES AND

CONTRACTS.

MEXICAN STATE-OWNED OIL COMPANY

MEXICAN STATE-OWNED ELECTRICITY COMPANY

DERIVED FROM THE OBJECTIVE OF MODERNIZATION OF STATE-OWNED COMPANIES, IT IS INTENDED THAT PEMEX AND CFE ARE TRANSFORMED INTO PRODUCTIVE COMPANIES OF THE STATE, PROVIDING THE STATE-OWNED COMPANIES INVOLVED IN THE ENERGY INDUSTRY, WITH TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT AUTONOMY, IN ACCORDANCE WITH BEST PRACTICES OF THE INDUSTRY.

9. PRIVATE PARTICIPATION AND

REGULATION

THE ENERGY REFORM ALLOWS THE MERGER OF PUBLIC AND

PRIVATE INVESTMENTS IN THE ENERGY PRODUCTION AND

COMMERCIALIZATION AND THIS IS ATTRACTING INCREASING

INTEREST FROM MANY COMPANIES TO MAKE BUSINESS.

THROUGH THE ENERGY REFORM, NEW SPECIALIZED

INSTITUTIONS WILL DEVELOP, WHICH WILL WORK WITH A

SPECIAL LEGAL FRAMEWORK TO REGULATE AND PROTECT

MEXICO'S INTERESTS AS WELL AS THE INTERESTS OF THIRD

PARTIES.

THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT WILL CREATE THE FOLLOWING ENTITIES: • MEXICAN OIL FUND • NATIONAL GAS CONTROL CENTER (CENAGAS) • NATIONAL ENERGY CONTROL CENTER (CENACE)

• NATIONAL AGENCY OF INDUSTRIAL SAFETY AND

ENVIRONMENT FURTHERMORE IT WILL PROMOTE THE STRENGTHENING OF THE NATIONAL HYDROCARBONS COMMISSION AND THE ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION

• ON APRIL 30, 2014, PRESIDENT ENRIQUE PEÑA NIETO INTRODUCED TO THE MEXICAN CONGRESS THE PROPOSED SECONDARY LAWS THAT WOULD IMPLEMENT THE REFORMS INITIATED THROUGH THE CONSTITUTIONAL MEASURES PASSED BY THE CONGRESS

• IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE MEXICAN CONGRESS WILL CONSIDER THE ENABLING LEGISLATION IN A SPECIAL SESSION DURING THE LAST HALF OF JUNE 2014
