## History of ownership structure

In September 2010, AIMIA, formerly Groupe Aeroplan, acquired approximately 29 percent of Club Premier for 35 million US dollars. Club Premier was spun off from Aeroméxico and to do this Grupo Aeroméxico and Groupe Aeroplan created the company Premier Loyalty & Marketing, S.A.P.I. de C.V. ("PLM") to operate Club Premier.[1][2][3][4]

In December 2012, Groupe Aeroplan invested another 88 million USD to acquire an additional 20% of PLM, so that now, AIMIA controls 49% of PLM and Aeroméxico controls 51%.[5][6]
