San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, April 29, 2009 - Vitro S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: VITROA; NYSE: VTO), today held its Annual General Shareholders Meeting at which the Company's 2008 financial results were approved.

At the meeting, shareholders also approved the 2008 Audit, Corporate Practices and Finance and Planning Committees reports, as well as those of the Board of Directors and the CEO.

Shareholders elected Directors for 2009, including Chairman and Secretary; certified the independent Board members; and elected the Chairman of the Audit and Corporate Practices Committees.
