Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / Shareholders Agreement
Spanish term or phrase: Anexo(s)
In this context, the translator has used a few terms for "anexo(s).

In this particular section, the term "Exhibit" has been used for article and section titles. One of the titles in Spanish is:
Modificaciones del Estatuto de CIESA
which was called "Exhibit 1"

I've understood that it should be Appendix, but please correct me if I'm wrong. And at the beginning of the document, "Annex" is used on a page that was already in English...

I'd like to know when each instance should be used, because I'm a little confused at so much inconsistency...

Thanks for your help in advance!

attachment; exhibit; schedule; appendix; annex
Explanation:
I don't believe there is a single "correct" term for a document that is appended to a contract and considered an integral part of that agreement. I have seen all of the above used in contracts. "Schedule" seems to appear more often in British documents; "annex" seems to be prefered in standard EU contracts.

  -> Thanks Jenni. I also think this is a matter of the drafter's preference and that all of the above are basically synonymous.
