(“Benavides”), before a  district court (juzgado de distrito) in Monterrey, Nuevo León, by a group of minority shareholders  which jointly hold 0.95% of Benavides’ capital stock, in virtue of which such  group claims damages suffered as a consequence of Grupo Casa Saba not having  made a public offering in Mexico when Grupo Casa Saba acquired control of the  Chilean corporation, Farmacias Ahumada S.A.
