FEMSA Announcement
Monterrey, Mexico, Jauary 12, 2012. With great sadness
we received the news of the passing of Alexis Rovzar de la
Torre, member of our Boards of Directors of Fomento Económico
Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. ("FEMSA") and Coca-Cola FEMSA,
S.A.B. de C.V. ("KOF").
For over thirty years Alexis contributed his talent,
leadership and advice to help build the company that we are
today. He was appointed to the FEMSA Board since 1988 and the
KOF Board since 1993, and participated as chairman of the
audit committee of both companies.
"Alexis was an example for all of us. On the professional
side he was open, talented, always had the best advice and
the constructive feedback that sought to find the best
decisions for FEMSA. In addition, he was always dedicated and
committed to many worthy charity and non-profit causes. On
the personal side he was a benchmark for many of us on how to
form and nurture a family based on love and a life of
example," said Jose Antonio Fernández Carbajal, Chairman of
FEMSA and Coca-Cola FEMSA.
"At FEMSA and Coca-Cola FEMSA we want to publicly recognize
and express our gratitude for everything Alexis taught us and
shared with us in those more than thirty years in which we
had the privilege of meeting, appreciating and working with
him", concluded Fernández Carbajal.
Alexis Rovzar de la Torre passed away on January 7th, in
Mexico City.
We bid farewell with a heavy heart to a great friend,
co-worker and excellent human being. The example of how he
lived his life will endure among us.
