PRESS RELEASE


Recent IFT ruling with respect to Grupo Televisa


Mexico City, November 26, 2020 - Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (“Televisa” or the “Company”; NYSE:TV; BMV:TLEVISA CPO) announced today that it has been declared by the Federal Telecommunications Institute ("IFT") to be an economic agent with substantial power in the market of restricted television and audio services in certain municipalities.
IFT’s ruling derives from an investigation that it initiated as a result of the acquisition by the Company of the residential optical fiber-to-the home and related assets from Axtel, S.A.B. de C.V. in 35 municipalities of Mexico.
The ruling does not imply that the Company entered into any anticompetitive practices. The IFT will now begin a new proceeding to determine if any asymmetric measures will be necessary, and Televisa will be heard in this proceeding.
The Company considers that IFT’s ruling is inconsistent with resolutions previously issued by such Institute in other investigations regarding substantial power in the same market. Therefore, it will consider all options in its defense.
