To ensure a solid financial position after the proposed spin-off, ALFA plans to pay down debt totaling US $500 million with proceeds from the Capital Increase that is underway, plus a cash dividend paid by Alpek on September 19, 2024. Throughout the transformation process, ALFA reduced its corporate expenses by 80% and refinanced a significant portion of its debt with prepayable bank loans that provide the necessary flexibility in this final stage. Separately, the Company received requisite consents from holders of its Senior Notes due 2044.
