Salon F-13: where the IPC selling shareholder exits the cap table through the follow-on and the analyst kit arrives before the morning coffee

Salon F-13 sits on the equity capital markets floor of a Polanco tower: a main hall with an issuance lectern and a 4-metre LED wall, Bloomberg terminals with book and BMV share-price monitoring, a one-on-one room with 8 soundproof individual cabins, a bookbuilding anteroom carrying term sheets, a protocol kitchen and two pedestrian accesses: a main one with biometric turnstile and a service one with notarial logbook. This is where the follow-on public offerings of IPC issuers run, where block trades executed by the equity desks of banks settle, where private equity funds seeking to exit the cap table run secondary offerings, where mixed offerings (primary and secondary combo) for IPC issuers land, where accelerated bookbuildings of high-liquidity issuers price, and where ADR (American Depositary Receipts) programme announcements for Mexican issuers with dual presence happen. What separates Salon F-13 is not the staging but the velocity of the accelerated bookbuilding: the analyst kit arrives before coffee, the price confirmation exits at book close, and the international institutional LP recognition crosses the border under USMCA compliance.

Salon F-13 logistics, access and book custody

Salon F-13 runs on a dedicated basement loading dock: heavy freight (boxes with merch, prospectus documentation, secondary offering contracts) goes up the west-area freight elevator with restricted hours and notarial logbook. Light freight goes up the service elevator with prior ID and bank credential. The bank operations team signs the merch entry and walks it to the one-on-one anteroom where it is staged on a side table. The bookbuilding room has a secure holding area with boxes sealed under the placing bank stamp for sensitive material (legal opinions, due diligence, secondary offering contracts), and the protocol kitchen has a locked cabinet for the international institutional LP hospitality. The notary attesting to the prospectus and to the secondary offering signature has a dedicated cubicle, with paperwork on security paper and notarial seal. For weekend accelerated bookbuildings, the logistics adjust to the short window (Saturday to Monday morning).

For offerings with international institutional analyst presence (typically US, Canada, Europe and Asia), we handle invoicing in USD at the Banco de Mexico FIX rate from the day before delivery, with USMCA compliance and support for deduction as Equity Capital Markets, Secondary Offering or Investor Relations expense in the issuer fiscal close. For offerings with regulator presence (CNBV, Banco de Mexico, SHCP), we handle the bank security protocol and the Policia Bancaria e Industrial protocol when applicable. The merch chain of custody is documented with signature, time stamp, photograph and seal number at every checkpoint, with adjustment for the short window of accelerated bookbuildings.

Salon F-13 confidentiality, compliance and restrictions

Salon F-13 enforces operating rules the merch must respect: no phones in the main hall during book questions, no merch with noise or visual distraction elements, no backpacks inside the bookbuilding room (analysts use lockers in the corridor), no POP material with third-party logos beyond the placing bank and the issuer (per bank compliance), no outside food or beverage beyond the protocol kitchen service. For offerings requiring limited-edition merchandising (numbered plate for the follow-on close, book signed by the CFO tracing the cap table timeline, paperweight stamped with the offering year), we coordinate with the bank operations area to ensure the piece clears the security protocol, the compliance protocol and the transmission protocol when the bookbuilding is internal and not broadcast. For block trades, the merch ships in a compact format suited to the short window.

For SAT invoicing we issue CFDI 4.0 with the 16% IVA breakdown and support for deduction as Equity Capital Markets, Secondary Offering or Investor Relations expense depending on how the merch is used. For issuers with IMMEX operations or US market exposure, we handle complementary invoicing in USD or EUR with USMCA compliance support when the merch crosses the border as part of the institutional investor disclosure material. For issuers with dual listing (BMV and NYSE/Nasdaq), we handle bilingual (es/en) invoicing and USMCA compliance. The merch ships with carta porte 3.0 when interstate or international transit applies, with the foreign trade complement when applicable, and with the payment complement when the selling shareholder or the issuer pays in instalments or against the follow-on closing.

Salon F-13 frequently asked questions

Can you deliver the analyst kit with a receipt signature per account?

Yes — we deliver the kit with a receipt per institutional account (not per individual analyst), signed by the head of research or portfolio director, with delivery time and the uniformed staff signature. The chain of custody is documented with photograph when bank protocol allows, and the kit is held in sealed envelopes through the day for return at book close. For weekend accelerated bookbuildings, we adjust the signature to a digital format.

Can you handle the merch for serial secondary offerings?

Yes — we run serial programming with the same issuer brand manual, scaling the run by secondary offering stage (preliminary, marketing, discount pricing, allocation, close) and invited LPs (institutional, binational family offices, PE funds). Coordination with the issuer Investor Relations office for the editorial curation of the analyst kit.

Can you invoice the merch as an equity capital markets expense?

Yes — we issue CFDI 4.0 to the SAT with the 16% IVA breakdown and support for deduction as Equity Capital Markets, Secondary Offering or Investor Relations expense depending on how the merch is used. For issuers with IMMEX operations, we handle complementary invoicing in USD with the foreign trade complement and USMCA compliance.

Is Corp-Merch an official partner of Salon F-13 or any placing bank?

No. Corp-Merch.MX is an independent curation, production and logistics workshop for merch at follow-on offerings, secondary offerings and block trades at Salon F-13 and other Mexico City venues. Salon F-13 and the placing banks mentioned are cited for descriptive purposes only.
