The pre-commencement communications filed
under cover of this Schedule TO (this “Schedule TO”) are being filed by Banco Santander, S.A., a company organized
under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (“Santander Spain”) in connection with a proposed all cash offer (the “Tender
Offer”) by Santander Spain to acquire all of the outstanding (x) Series B shares (which we refer to as “Santander Mexico
shares”) and (y) American Depositary Shares (each of which represents five Santander Mexico shares) of Banco Santander México,
S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo Financiero Santander México (which we refer to as “Santander
Mexico”) ((x) and (y) together, “Santander Mexico Securities”), in each case other than any Santander Mexico
Securities owned directly or indirectly by Santander Spain.
The Tender Offer has not yet commenced,
and this Schedule TO is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any common stock (including any American
Depositary Share representing any common stock) or other securities. If and at the time the Tender Offer is commenced, Santander
Spain (and/or one or more of its affiliates, as applicable) intends to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO containing an offer to purchase, a form of letter of transmittal and
other documents relating to the Tender Offer, and Santander Mexico will file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement
on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Tender Offer. Santander Spain intends to mail these documents to Santander Mexico shareholders.
Santander Spain will also file before the Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores (“CNBV”) an informative brochure
in connection with the transaction and the prospective offer as required under applicable law.
INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED
TO READ THE TENDER OFFER STATEMENT, OFFER TO PURCHASE, SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT AND ALL OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT
WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC AND THE CNBV REGARDING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING A DECISION CONCERNING THE TENDER
OFFER AS THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TENDER OFFER.
Such documents, and other documents filed
by Santander Spain and Santander Mexico, may be obtained without charge after they have been filed at the SEC’s website at
www.sec.gov and through the CNBV´s website at www.cnbv.gob.mx.
The offer to purchase and related materials may also be obtained (when available) for free by contacting the information agent
for the Tender Offer.
THE TENDER OFFER WILL NOT BE MADE DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY IN ANY COUNTRY OR JURISDICTION IN WHICH SUCH OFFER WOULD BE CONSIDERED UNLAWFUL OR OTHERWISE VIOLATE ANY APPLICABLE
LAWS OR REGULATIONS, OR WHICH WOULD REQUIRE SANTANDER SPAIN OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES TO CHANGE OR AMEND THE TERMS OR CONDITIONS
OF SUCH OFFER IN ANY MANNER, TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL FILING WITH ANY GOVERNMENTAL OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY OR TAKE ANY ADDITIONAL
ACTION IN RELATION TO SUCH OFFER.
IN ADDITION, THE TENDER OFFER DOCUMENTS,
THIS SCHEDULE TO AND RELATED MATERIALS AND ACCEPTANCE FORMS WILL NOT AND MAY NOT BE DISTRIBUTED, FORWARDED OR TRANSMITTED INTO
OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
