EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment”) relates to American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) of Coca-Cola FEMSA, S.A.B de C.V. (the “Issuer”), each of which represent 10 Series L Shares, without par value (“Series L Shares”). This Amendment is being jointly filed by Cascade Investment, L.L.C. (“Cascade”), Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust (the “Trust”), William H. Gates III and Melinda French Gates (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), to amend and supplement the Items set forth below of the Reporting Persons’ Schedule 13D previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1, 2008, as amended on January 15, 2010, January 29, 2010, February 10, 2010, March 10, 2010, May 7, 2010, May 21, 2010, March 8, 2011, March 14, 2011, March 21, 2011 and April 1, 2011.
