NYSE American for Mexico companies

It delivers a full NYSE listing with standards calibrated to small-cap issuers, reachable by merging into a listed shell or uplifting through a reverse takeover.
Structuring a reverse takeover from Mexico
Cross-border deals from Mexico are generally organized under a holding company acceptable to US markets — frequently a Cayman or other offshore entity — placed above the Mexican operating companies to serve as the listed vehicle. Advisers weigh Mexican income-tax consequences on contributing or transferring shares, transfer-pricing on intercompany flows, and any CNBV disclosure obligations where Mexican investors are solicited. Mexico does not run the kind of hard exchange-control regime some emerging markets do, which can simplify capital movement, but peso-dollar conversion, withholding and treaty positions still matter. The structure is fact-specific and should be built early with Mexican and US counsel and tax advisers; this summary is educational only.
