After this transaction FEMSA's economic interest decreased from 14.76% to 8.13%.

The investment in Heineken represented a business segment until 2023. With this investment being classified as discontinued operations, the investment in Heineken segment is no longer presented in the segment note as it no longer meets the definition of a reportable segment and therefore prior periods have been restated as such for purposes of comparability (see Note 27). 4.3.2 Plan for Disposal of Strategic Businesses The following companies were part of the Strategic businesses operation segment, presented within the Logistics and Distribution operating segment: •AlPunto, which is a group of companies focused on the production and distribution of coolers, commercial refrigeration equipment, plastic boxes, food processing, preservation and weighing equipment. •Solistica, dedicated to providing 3PL comprehensive logistics solutions to FEMSA companies and to external customers. •Envoy, a business related with the specialized distribution of cleaning products and consumables in the United States.
