15 RECENT EVENTS Payment from Generali Assicurazioni Generali made a USD 45 million payment to Banorte in June’02 for the expansion of it’s branch network after Bancrecer acquisition, and for the technological infrastructure developments for the Afore, Bankassurance and Annuities businesses. This payment was accounted as an Extraordinary Income in the 2Q02. Afin Casa de Bolsa lawsuit GFNorte was granted a temporary Stay of proceedings in the lawsuit against it’s brokerage house. The lawsuit in question was filed in 1994 against Afin Casa de Bolsa (later Casa de Bolsa Banorte). In it, the widow and heirs of Mr. Lance de la Torre claim the AFIN 7.8% stake that belonged to the deceased, as well as payment of the dividends genereted from 1990 to 1994.

16 RECENT EVENTS This lawsuit is unsubstantiated as these shares were given over, and later-sold-as per their own instructions-through the Mexican Stock Exchange, since June, There have been attempts to involve GFNorte in the process, therefore the Group submitted last July 5th an Indirect writ of Relief on the “habeas corpus” procedure as it is clear that it can not be condemmed in a trial of which it was never a part. Moreover, AFIN Casa de Bolsa also filed criminal charges against judges and magistrates of the court of equity, as well as the federal judges, who were aware of the issue in the first and second instances and the writ for relief.
