Pursuant to the latest reform to the Mexican General Law of Commercial Companies, specifically to its Articles 73 and 129, starting on December 15, 2018, all transfers of shares or equity, or any change in the capital structure of Mexican commercial corporations (S.A.) and of limited liability companies (S. de R.L.), shall be published in the Mexican Ministry of Economy’s Electronic Publications System for Commercial Companies.

Similar to what occurs with multiple relevant corporate actions, including among others capital stock reductions, calls for shareholders or partners meetings and the final balance of a company in liquidation stage, now whenever a shareholder or partner of a Mexican Corporation sells, assigns or transfers, through any vehicle, a part or all of its shares or equity, or when new or additional contributions are made, the companies shall publish a notice in the electronic registry system described above.

This latest reform was published in the Federal Official Gazette on June 14, 2018 and its transitional articles provide that it shall become effective 6 months after its publication.

One of the effects of this reform is accentuating the relevance for Mexican Commercial Companies to maintain good-housekeeping of their corporate ledgers and records, which is a duty of the company’s directors, so that they can timely comply with their notification obligations in the electronic registry.
