With the inclusion of these additional shares, the total number of Class A common shares sold in the offering amounts to 23,338,431.
Details of the Offering and Underwriting Agreement
The offering was conducted pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The additional Class A common shares were purchased at the public offering price, less applicable underwriting discounts and commissions. This expansion of the offering highlights the strong investor demand for BBB Foods’ stock and reflects confidence in the company’s long-term prospects.
The underwriters in this offering were led by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, who acted as global coordinators.

Implications for Investors and BBB Foods
The successful execution of this secondary offering, including the full exercise of the over-allotment option, underscores BBB Foods’ strong market position and investor confidence in the company’s growth trajectory. Secondary offerings provide a means for existing shareholders to liquidate a portion of their holdings while maintaining market stability. Additionally, the strong demand for BBB Foods’ shares suggests that institutional and retail investors see long-term value in the company’s business model and strategy.
For investors, this development means a larger float of publicly traded shares, which can enhance liquidity and reduce volatility. A larger number of publicly available shares can also attract institutional investors who seek greater liquidity before making significant investments in a company’s stock.
