MEXICO, D.F.

Jaime Lomelín Guillén Resigns as Independent Member of the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos

On February 17, 2015, Jaime Lomelín Guillén resigned as independent member on the Board of Directors of Petróleos Mexicanos (“Pemex”). He had accepted his appointment to this position on September 18, 2014.

In a letter to the Secretary of Energy and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pemex, Pedro Joaquín Coldwell, Mr. Lomelín Guillén said that he decided to submit his resignation in order to avoid any misinterpretation that may damage the credibility and transparency of Mexico’s recent energy reform.

In this regard, Mr. Lomelín Guillén said that at the time he was appointed to the Board of Directors of Pemex, it was known that he had been linked to Grupo Bal, a Mexican conglomerate, for over 40 years. Mr. Lomelín Guillén also noted that he did not participate in the recent formation of Petrobal, a unit of Grupo Bal that is expected to participate in Mexico’s oil and gas industry.

In his letter of resignation, Mr. Lomelín Guillén reiterated his appreciation to the President of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, for having appointed him as an independent member on the Board of Directors of Pemex. He also thanked Mr. Joaquín Coldwell and the Director General of Pemex, Emilio Lozoya.

The contributions of Mr. Lomelín Guillén during his time on the Board of Directors of Pemex were always for the benefit of Pemex and Mexico.

The Law of Petróleos Mexicanos sets forth the procedures for appointing a new independent member to the Board of Directors of Pemex in the event that a member steps down. Pursuant to the Law of Petróleos Mexicanos, the new member will hold the position for the remainder of the term of the member being replaced. In the case of Mr. Lomelín Guillén, the term was set to end on September 18, 2018.

Accordingly, the President of Mexico will send his new appointee to the Mexican Senate for ratification, which requires an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the Senators present.
