“It was a long and difficult structuring given the challenges satisfying both U.S. and Mexican real estate and tax laws, and U.S. accounting rules. Your patience and perseverance in negotiating with the financial institutions was fundamental to our success. It is also to your credit that the rate we received on this financing is much more favorable than any of the transactions we benchmarked in Mexico in recent years…..Working with your firm has been a very positive experience, and we hope to have the opportunity again in the future.” L. Whatley, General Motors, International Operations
