LUXEMBOURG LISTING PROSPECTUS U.S.$ 1,000,000,000 Comisión Federal de Electricidad (a Productive State Enterprise of the Federal Government of the United Mexican States) 4.750% Notes due 2027 We made an offer of U.S.$ 1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.750% notes due 2027, which we refer to as the “notes.” The notes will mature on February 23, 2027. Interest on the notes began to accrue from October 18, 2016 and will be payable on February 23 and August 23 of each year, beginning on February 23, 2017. The notes rank without any preference among themselves and equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated public external indebtedness. The Federal government of Mexico (the “Mexican government”) does not guarantee or secure our obligations and has no obligation to pay the principal or interest on the notes in the event that our cash flows and/or assets are not sufficient to make any such payments. The notes do not grant in any way rights over the ownership, control or assets of our company. We may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time by paying the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the notes and the applicable “make-whole” premium amount, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. In the event of certain changes in the applicable rate of Mexican withholding tax, we may redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain fundamental changes in our ownership or business, we will be required to offer to purchase the notes at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the purchase date. See “Description of the Notes—Redemption and Purchase.” The notes contain provisions, commonly known as “collective action clauses.” Under these provisions, which differ from the terms of our public external indebtedness issued prior to June 16, 2015, we may amend the payment provisions of any series of debt securities issued under the indenture (including the notes) and other reserved matters listed in the indenture with the consent of the holders of: (1) with respect to a single series of debt securities, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series; (2) with respect to two or more series of debt securities, if certain “uniformly applicable” requirements are met, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected 2 by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate; or (3) with respect to two or more series of debt securities, more than 66 /3% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate, and more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the proposed modification, taken individually. See “Description of the Notes— Meetings, Amendments and Waivers.” ______________________________________________________ Investing in the notes involves risks.
