The following is additional information concerning the
proposed transaction to be approved at the shareholders'
meeting and is not part of the text of the call for the
shareholders' meeting:
Mr.

of PROMECAP, S.C. He serves as a board member of various
organizations, including The United Nations Pension Fund,
The Quantum Group of Funds, Grupo Posadas de Mexico, Grupo
Financiero Inbursa and Grupo Carso. Mr. Chico Pardo previously
purchased a 24.5% stake in ITA held by Vinci, S.A. on
April 12, 2004 and a 13.5% stake in ITA held by Ferrovial

Basalticos y Derivados, S.A. de C.V.'s (Tribasa) settlement
with its creditors. As a result, NAFIN became ITA's temporary

of ITA as its Mexican partner.
