GRUPO TELEVISA ANNOUNCES PRICE DETERMINATION WITH RESPECT TO ITS WATERFALL TENDER
OFFER
Mexico City, August 9, 2023—Grupo
Televisa, S.A.B. (“Televisa,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), announced today certain pricing terms for its previously announced tender offer
to purchase for cash its outstanding 5.000% Notes due 2045 (the “2045 Notes”), 5.250% Notes due 2049 (the “2049 Notes”), 6.625% Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and 6.125% Notes due 2046 (the “2046 Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount not to
exceed (i) US$300,000,000 less (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Any and All Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the
Any and All Tender Offer (the “Waterfall Tender Cap”), in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
offer to purchase dated July 26, 2023 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”). We
collectively refer to the outstanding debt securities listed in the table below as the “Waterfall Notes” and to each of the listed
outstanding debt securities as a “series” of Waterfall Notes. We refer to our offer to purchase the Waterfall Notes as the “Waterfall Tender Offer.” Capitalized terms used in this press release but not otherwise defined have the meanings given to them in the
Offer to Purchase.
Televisa has waived the 2025 Series Consideration Maximum, which required that the applicable Total Consideration determined to be
payable for any 2025 Notes tendered be less than 100.00% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes in order for such Notes to be accepted for purchase.
The table below sets forth certain information relating to the Waterfall Notes and the Waterfall Tender Offer, including, among other
things, the Offer Yield (as defined below) and Total Consideration for each US$1,000 principal amount of each series of Waterfall Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date, as calculated at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)
today, August 9, 2023 (the “Waterfall Price Determination Date”) in accordance with the terms of the Offer to Purchase.

Holders who validly tender Waterfall Notes and whose Waterfall Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer to Purchase will also receive
accrued and unpaid interest (“Accrued Interest”) up to, but excluding, the applicable Settlement Date (as defined in the
Offer to Purchase). We have agreed, subject to specified exceptions and limitations, to pay additional interest to participants in the Waterfall Tender Offer to cover Mexican withholding taxes on interest payments. See the Offer to
Purchase.

The “Offer Yield” is equal to the sum
of (i) the applicable Reference Yield, as calculated by the Dealer Managers, that equates to the bid-side price of the applicable Reference U.S. Treasury Security specified on the front cover page of the Offer to Purchase for such series of
Waterfall Notes as of the Waterfall Price Determination Date, quoted on the Bloomberg reference page “FIT1” (or any other recognized quotation source selected by the Dealer Managers in their sole discretion if such quotation report is not
available or is manifestly erroneous), plus (ii) the applicable Fixed Spread specified on the front cover page of the Offer to Purchase for such series of Waterfall Notes.

Per each US$1,000 principal amount of Waterfall Notes. The Total Consideration payable per each US$1,000 principal amount of Waterfall Notes validly
tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for payment pursuant to the Waterfall Tender Offer was determined in accordance with standard market practice, as described in the Offer to Purchase, to result in a price that equates to a
yield to the maturity date or par call date, as applicable, in accordance with the formula set forth in Annex A of the Offer to Purchase. The applicable
Total Consideration includes an early tender premium equal to US$30.00 per US$1,000 principal amount (the “Early
Tender Premium”) for each series of Waterfall Notes validly tendered and accepted for payment prior to the Early Tender Date pursuant to
the Waterfall Tender Offer.
|
Withdrawal rights for the Waterfall Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 8, 2023. Waterfall
Notes that were validly tendered on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 8, 2023 (the “Early Tender Date”) cannot
be withdrawn, except as may be required by applicable law. Payment of the applicable Total Consideration and Accrued Interest for the Waterfall Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase is expected to be made, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Offer to Purchase, on August 10, 2023 (the “Early Settlement Date”). The Waterfall Tender Offer will expire
at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 23, 2023, unless extended by Televisa in its sole discretion.
Waterfall Notes of each series validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date will be accepted by Televisa as follows:
(i) US$98,748,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2045 Notes will be accepted for purchase, (ii) US$41,262,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2049 Notes will be accepted for purchase, (iii) US$46,982,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2025
Notes will be accepted for purchase and (iv) US$20,428,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2046 Notes will be accepted for purchase, using a proration factor of approximately 42.44% (after (a) taking into account 2046 Notes that were tendered in
principal amounts that were not equal to the applicable minimum authorized denomination after the proration factor was applied and (b) rounding the resulting amount of 2046 Notes that were tendered down to the nearest US$1,000 principal amount).
Holders who validly tendered their Waterfall Notes on or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Waterfall Notes were
accepted for purchase will be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration set forth in the table above, which includes the Early Tender Premium and Accrued Interest on their accepted Waterfall Notes up to, but excluding, the Early
Settlement Date, and any additional amounts thereon, if any.
Because the aggregate principal amount of Waterfall Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date
exceeded the Waterfall Tender Cap, there will be no Final Settlement Date, and no Waterfall Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase. Waterfall Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement
Date will be returned or credited to the applicable Holder’s account promptly after the Early Settlement Date.
Televisa has retained HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. and Santander US Capital Markets LLC to act as dealer managers in connection with the
Waterfall Tender Offer (the “Dealer Managers”). Any questions or requests for assistance regarding the Waterfall Tender Offer may
be directed to the Dealer Managers at their contact information set forth below.
