Opinion of TELINT’s Board of Directors: As disclosed by TELINT on March 19, 2010, its Board of Directors, taking into consideration the independent expert opinion of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smi8th Incorporated or its affiliates (“Merrill Lynch”), who was engaged by TELINT’s Board of Directors, and the opinion of TELINT’s Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, determined that the exchange ratio and the Purchase Price determined for purposes of the Offer are fair and reasonable from a financial perspective. For additional information, see Section 17 of this Offering Memorandum.

Opinion of TELINT’s Independent Expert Advisor: As disclosed by TELINT on March 19, 2010, TELINT’s Audit and Corporate Governance Committee confirmed Merrill Lynch’s appointment as independent expert engaged by TELINT’s Board of Directors for purposes of the issuance of an opinion as to the financial fairness of the exchange ratio and the Purchase Price proposed in connection with the Offer. Based upon the facts disclosed thereto, and the other considerations described in its opinion, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 26(b), Merrill Lynch advised TELINT’s Board of Directors that the exchange ratio and the Purchase Price offered to TELINT’s shareholders are reasonable. Recipients of this Offering Memorandum are advised to review Exhibit 26(b) hereto to fully understand such opinion, including the facts upon which it is based and any qualifications thereto.

Opinion of AMX’s Financial Advisor, and Independent Expert for Mexican law purposes: On January 13, 2010, AMX’s Board of Directors issued a favorable opinion with respect to the commencement of the Offer by AMX, and resolved, among other things, to authorize AMX to retain a financial advisor as independent expert for purposes of the Offer (and also to act as independent expert fur purposes of, and in accordance with, Mexican law). On February 9, 2010, AMX’s Audit and Corporate Governance Committee issued a favorable opinion with respect to the commencement of the Offer by AMX. Likewise, it resolved, among other things, to ratify the appointment of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”). Said appointment was approved by AMX’s Board of Directors on January 13, 2010. In connection with the Offer, Credit Suisse was requested (in its capacity as independent expert advisor engaged by AMX’s Board of Directors, in accordance with, and for purposes of, Mexican law) to issue for the information of AMX’s Board of Directors its opinion, from a financial perspective, as to the financial fairness of the consideration, in cash or in AMX Shares, offered by AMX to TELINT’s shareholders in connection with the Offer. On March 9, 2010, Credit Suisse issued its opinion to AMX Board of Director’s, stating that, as of the date thereto and, based upon the facts disclosed therein, and on other considerations included therein, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 26(a), the consideration, in cash of in AMX Shares offered to TELINT’s shareholders is reasonable from a financial perspective to AMX. The opinion was issued solely for the information of AMX’s Board of Directors for purposes of evaluating the Offer from a financial perspective and not for the benefit of shareholders and is subject to several presumptions, qualifications, limitations and considerations. The opinion does not deal in any way with other aspects of the Offer, and does not purport to be a recommendation, and shall not be understood as a recommendation to the shareholders in connection with their participation in the Offer or any other matter.

Cancellation of Registration: Assuming that TELINT’s shareholders will elect to tender their shares in connection with the Offer, AMX intends to purchase up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the TELINT Shares and may file a petition to cancel the registration of such shares with Mexico’s National Securities Registry (RNV Nacional de Valores) (“RNV”) and their registration for trading on the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V.)

In addition, such summary may not be applicable to certain shareholders in light of their particular circumstances. Accordingly, TELINT’s shareholders are advised to consult with their own independent tax experts as to the tax consequences associated with their participation in the Offer, including those arising as a result of their particular circumstances.

Based upon Merrill Lynch’s opinion as independent expert advisor engaged by TELINT’s Board of Directors, and the opinion of TELINT’s Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, both to the effect that the exchange ratio and the Purchase Price offered by AMX in connection with the Offer are justified from a financial perspective and, accordingly, are fair to TELINT’s shareholders, TELINT’s Board of Directors determined that such financial ratio and Purchase Price are reasonable.

In addition, all members of TELINT’s Board of Directors holding TELINT Shares, have informed AMX that they and their related parties intend to participate in the Offer in the terms proposed by AMX, assuming that the economic situation and market conditions remain stable. To the best of AMX’s knowledge, TELINT’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Oscan Von Hauske, does not hold any TELINT Shares.

Yes. The Offer is subject to various conditions, as described in Section 8 of this Offering Memorandum. Such conditions include, among others, the receipt of certain corporate and regulatory approvals, some of which have been heretofore obtained by AMX and/or TELINT. Among other things, the Offer is conditioned upon the successful acquisition by AMX of at least 51% (fifty one percent) of the shares of stock of TELECOM in connection with the TELECOM Offer; provided, that AMX will only invoke such condition upon TELECOM’s shareholders becoming subject to any regulatory or other restriction precluding their participation in the Offer; and provided, further, that the satisfaction of such condition will not be subject to the sole discretion of TELECOM’s shareholders. In addition, the TELECOM Offer is conditioned upon the absence of any legal or other restriction precluding TELINT’s shareholders’ ability to participate in the TELECOM Offer. In the event that the conditions set forth in this Offering Memorandum are not met and/or waived by AMX, the Offer shall have no legal effect whatsoever.

BB. Will TELINT remain a public company following the consummation of the Offer?

Assuming that TELINT’s shareholders will elect to tender their shares in connection with the Offer, AMX intends purchase up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the TELINT Shares and may file a petition to cancel the registration of such shares with the RNV and the BMV, subject to the consent of at least 95% (ninety five percent) of TELINT’s shareholders. Contingent upon the outcome of the Offer, and subject to the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in the applicable laws to ensure the protection of the public’s interests, and the approval of the requisite corporate actions, AMX intends to file with the CNBV a petition to cancel the registration of the TELINT Shares with the RNV and the BMV, so that such shares will no longer trade therein.

In any event, AMX will observe all applicable legal provisions to ensure the protection of the public’s interests and the market generally, as required by the LMV.

AMX cannot determine at this time whether the TELINT Shares will remain registered with the RNV and listed for trading on the BMV, as such determination is contingent upon, among other things, the outcome of the Offer. For additional information, see Section 18 of this Offering Memorandum.

HH. Should I participate in the Offer, or would I be better off holding on to my TELINT Shares?

Each investor must make his/her own decision as to how to his/her TELINT Shares in light of his/her particular situation and publicly available information.

II. Will AMX create a trust to subsequently purchase any TELINT Shares not acquired in connection with the Offer?

The creation of the Trust (as such term is defined in this Offering Memorandum) referred to in Article 108(I)(c) of the LMV and Section 18 of this Offering Memorandum, and the transfer thereto of a number of Series L shares of AMX sufficient to exchange any TELINT Shares not purchased by AMX in connection with the Offer, is contingent upon, among other things, the outcome of the Offer.

You will retain your TELINT Shares. The market for the TELINT Shares not tendered in connection with the Offer may be less liquid than the market for such shares prior to the Offer, and the market value of such shares could be significantly lower than their value prior to the Expiration Date, particularly if the TELECOM Shares are effectively cancelled with the RNV and delisted from the BMV.

LL. What are the tax implications of the sale of my TELINT Shares in connection with the Offer?

4. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AMX AND THE ISSUER

AMX was organized in September 2000, as a result of a spin-off of TELMEX.

According to TELINT’s Annual Report, the Issuer was also organized as a result of a spin-off of TELMEX on December 26, 2007.

In the normal course of business, AMX enters into a number of contractual relationships with TELMEX, TELINT and their respective subsidiaries, including some foreign subsidiaries.

According to the beneficial ownership reports filed with the SEC, TELINT and AMX may for certain purposes be deemed to have certain common directors.

According to TELINT’s Annual Report, through its subsidiaries in Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Ecuador, TELINT provides a wide range of telecommunications services, including voice, data and video transmission, Internet access and integrated telecommunications solutions; pay cable and satellite television; and print and Internet-based yellow pages directories in Mexico, the United States, Argentina and Peru.

For additional information regarding TELINT’s services, see Section 4 of TELINT’s Annual Report. For additional information regarding AMX’s business and principal shareholders, see sections 4 and 7 of AMX’s Annual Report, respectively.

Given that AMX and TELINT provide telecommunication services in some of the same regions, they maintain close business relations with each other. These relations include network interconnections, facility sharing arrangements, private circuit usage, the provision of long-distance services to AMX’s subscribers, and the provision of various services to AMX. These relations are governed by a vast number and array of contracts, the most important of which relate to AMX’s operating subsidiaries in Brazil and EMBRATEL (a TELINT subsidiary engaged in the provision of fixed-line telephony services). Many of these contracts are also subject to telecommunications industry-specific laws. The terms of these contracts are similar to those governing each such company’s relations with unrelated third parties. All these relations are of material significance to AMX’s financial performance.

For additional information concerning AMX’s and TELINT’s operations, see Section 7—Principal Shareholders and Related Party Transactions, of AMX’s Annual Report.

As of the date hereof, AMX does not have any equity interest in TELINT.

Mr. Rayford Wilkins, Jr. serves as a director for both of AMX and TELINT.

AMX and TELINT have not entered into any agreement or arrangement in connection with the Offer. However, on January 13, 2010, AMX informed TELINT’s Board of Directors of its decision to commence the procedure towards the completion of the Offer and requested TELINT’s authorization in connection therewith pursuant to Article Twelve of TELINT’s bylaws.

In addition, on January 14, 2010, the secretary of TELINT’s Board of Directors informed AMX that all of TELINT’s directors had acknowledge receipt of AMX’s notice of its decision to commence the procedure towards the completion of the Offer and had resolved to authorize the Offer in accordance with Article Twelve of TELINT’s bylaws. For additional information regarding the actions taken in anticipation of the Offer, see Section 9 of this Offering Memorandum.

The Offer does not include an over-allotment option.

e. Purchase Price and Basis for the Determination Thereof

Basis for Determination

The purchase price was determined based upon market prices. AMX is offering to purchase up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the outstanding shares of TELINT, provided that each TELINT shareholder may elect to receive (i) AMX Shares, or (ii) the Purchase Price in cash.

Those TELINT’s shareholders who may decide to participate in the offer may elect to receive (i) 0.373 AMX Shares in exchange for each TELINT Share, it being understood that the AMX Shares are not subject and shall not be deemed subject to the Offer but shall be deemed to constitute an integral element of the Offer, or (ii) the Purchase Price, or Ps.11.66 in cash per TELINT Share.

The financial terms for the Offer were determined based upon the average closing price of the AMX Shares, the Series L TELINT Shares and the Series L TELMEX Shares (the “TMX Shares”) during the 10 (ten) trading-day period immediately preceding AMX’s announcement of its intent to commence the procedure towards the completion of the Offer, which period ended January 12, 2010 (the “Valuation Period”). The price per share so determined is referred to herein the “Average Price for the Valuation Period.”

In particular, in the Offer (1) the price per share is equal to the Average Price for the Valuation Period of each Series L TELINT Share, and (2) the value of the shares to be subscribed is equal to the Average Price for the Valuation Period of each Series L TELINT Share, divided by the Average Price for the Valuation Period of each AMX Share.

The price of the TELECOM Shares for purposes of the TELECOM Offer was determined based upon the market value of TELECOM’s primary assets, which consist of the TMX Shares and the TELINT Shares, and its net debt, which as of December 31, 2009, amounted to approximately 22 billion Pesos.

The above was determined based upon market prices. AMX determined the exchange ratio in connection with the Offer based upon the average of the closing prices of the AMX Shares and the Series L TELINT Shares during the 10 trading-day period immediately preceding AMX’s announcement of its intent to conduct the Offers, which period ended January 12, 2010. The determination as of January 12, 2010, took into consideration the following:

 

   

Average price per TELINT Share/average price per AMX Share = exchange ratio

Preliminary Offering Memorandum

Dated April 19, 2010

 

   

Average price per TELINT Share = Purchase Price

 

   

Approximate prices as of January 12, 2010:

 

   

Average price per TELINT Share during the 10 trading day period preceding the announcement of the Offer = Ps.11.66

 

   

Average price per AMX Share = Ps.31.25800 during the previous 10-trading day period

 

   

Exchange ratio = 0.373

 

   

Purchase Price = Ps.11.66

Premium

There is no premium payable on either the purchase price of the TELINT Shares or the subscription price of the AMX Shares in connection with the Offer. Payment of any such premium would be in violation of the applicable Mexican laws. In addition, the price/net income ratio represented by the Purchase Price for the TELINT Shares is higher than the price/net income of the AMX Shares.

AMX represents under penalty of perjury that it will not make any payment other than the consideration described in this Offering Memorandum, and that it has not undertaken any commitment or affirmative or negative covenant pursuant to Article 100 of the LMV, for the benefit of either the Issuer or the holders of the securities it intends to purchase in connection with the Offer.

Cancellation of Registration

Subject to the satisfaction of the applicable legal requirements, AMX intends to cancel the registration of the TELINT Shares and the TELECOM Shares with the RNV. See Section 17 “Maintenance or Cancellation of the Registration.”

Pursuant to the procedure set forth to such effect in Article 108(I)(b) of the LMV, the reference price for purposes of the cancellation of the registration will be the highest of the weighted average price per share during the 30 trading-day period immediately preceding the Offer, and the book value per TELECOM Share or TELINT Share, as the case may be.

Although Mexican law does not permit price distinctions among the different series of stock of an issuer, AMX has only taken into consideration the price of the Series L shares of each of Telmex and TELINT, with the exclusion of any other series of stock thereof, because the Series L shares of each of Telmex and TELINT are the most liquid among all the series of stock thereof. In addition, TELINT’s Series AA shares are not publicly traded, and its Series A shares account for less than 2% of the aggregate number of shares outstanding, are traded infrequently, and have limited or no liquidity as with respect to its Series L shares. As a matter of fact, the BMV’s Price and Quotations Index includes only the Series L shares and not the shares of any other series of stock.

The exchange ratio for purposes of the Offer and the TELECOM Offer has been determined by AMX based upon the above methodology and not pursuant to Article 108(I)(b) of the LMV, considering:

 

   

The Public Interest: The basis for the determination of the exchange ratio in the Offer and the TELECOM Offer fully ensures the protection of the public’s interest;

[THIS ENGLISH TRANSLATION IS PROVIDED FOR CONVENIENCE PURPOSES ONLY. IN THE EVENT OF CONFLICT BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND SPANISH VERSIONS OF THIS INFORMATION MEMORANDUM, THE SPANISH VERSION WILL PREVAIL.]

Preliminary Offering Memorandum

Dated April 19, 2010

 

   

Liquidity Factors: the exchange ratio is justified by the fact that it takes into consideration the price of the more liquid Series L shares of each of Telmex and TELINT;

 

   

Corporate Approvals: The exchange ratio has been approved by the boards of directors of AMX, TELINT and TELECOM;

 

   

Confirmation: The Purchase Price of Ps.11.66 will be ratified by TELINT’s Board of Directors and Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, and by TELINT’s shareholders upon approval of the cancellation of the registration of the TELINT Shares subject to its authorization by the CNBV;

 

   

Improvement Over the Statutory Ratio: The exchange ratio, as determined by AMX taking into consideration the date of announcement of its intention to commence the Offer, is higher than the product obtained from the application of the methodology set forth in the LMV. The two benchmarks referred to in Article 108 of the LMV, i.e., the book value per share according to the financial statements published prior to the Offer, and the average trading price prior to the announcement of the Offer by AMX’s Board of Directors, are both lower than the exchange ratio;

 

   

Uncertainty: The commencement of the exclusion offer, as the case may be, is uncertain. See Section 17 of this Offering Memorandum, “Maintenance or Cancellation of the Registration”.

As described above, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable requirements AMX intends to cancel the registration of the TELINT Shares and the TELECOM Shares with the RNV. Such cancellation is subordinated to the primary purpose of the Offer and the TELECOM Offer, which is for AMX to acquire up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the outstanding shares of TELINT and TELECOM. In other words, in conducting the Offer and the TELINT Offer AMX does not primarily seek to obtain the cancellation of the registration of the TELECOM Shares and the TELINT Shares with the RNV, and such cancellation will be a consequence of the acquisition of the TELECOM Shares and the TELINT Shares by AMX and will be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable legal requirements and the receipt of all the requisite corporate approvals. By way of example, if the cancellation of the registration of the TELINT Shares is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of 95% (ninety five percent) of the TELINT Shares but the purchase price payable in respect of the remaining TELINT Shares is less than 300,000 UDIs, TELINT would be required to establish a trust to purchase such shares in accordance with the applicable law.

f. Aggregate Amount of the Offer

It will depend upon the number of purchased shares and up to 2,638,509,332 Series “L” shares, representing AMX capital stock which are currently held as treasury shares, assuming TELECOM will no participate in the Offer, as it has announced, and the remaining TELINT shareholders elect to receive AMX ‘s Series “L” shares; and up to approximately Ps.82.5 billion, assuming TELECOM will no participate in the Offer, as it has announced, and the remaining TELINT shareholders elect to receive cash.

g. Recent Price/Book Value Multiples

2.19x the TELINT’s book value per share, or its majority stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2009.

h. Recent Price/Net Income Multiples

23.07x the Issuer’s majority net income according to its income statement as of December 31, 2009.

i. Market Multiples

The offering price is equal to 1.02x the closing price of Ps.11.40 per TELINT Share on the BMV on January 13, 2010.

9. ARRANGEMENTS PREDATING THE OFFER

a. Preliminary Discussions and Analysis

In November 2009, the chief executive officers of AMX and TELINT, Messrs. Daniel Hajj and Oscar Von Hauske, respectively, began discussing a potential arrangement for the joint provision of telecommunications services to their customers in Brazil in order to match the offerings available from their competitors in the integrated fixed-line and wireless telephony sector. Subsequent discussions between Messrs. Hajj and Von Hauske expanded to include other potential synergies or business opportunities, not only in Brazil but in some of the other countries in which both companies operate.

The preliminary discussions led to a series of meetings in late December 2009. Such meetings were held as part of the ongoing quest for business opportunities to maximize the use of the 3G technology developed by AMX in the region, and to provide converging services based upon the technologies implemented by both AMX and TELINT. These meetings in turn led to a more comprehensive approach towards the integration of services, including through the potential merger or overall reorganization of some of their operating companies in the region, including those in Brazil and Colombia.

In early January 2010, Mr. Daniel Hajj began discussing with the Slim Family and other TELECOM’s directors the possibility of combining the operations of AMX, TELECOM and TELINT, in lieu of a more limited merger or combination of some of AMX’s and TELINT’s operating subsidiaries. These discussions led to the conclusion that such a combination would provide the shareholders of both companies not only with an integrated service but also with significant long-term synergies among AMX’s and TELINT’s business operations, licenses, infrastructure and managements in various Latin American countries. They developed a proposal pursuant to which AMX would offer shares of its capital stock as consideration in connection with any such transaction, based upon an exchange ratio that would take into consideration the relative market prices of each of AMX’s and TELINT’s Series L shares, given their high market liquidity. As with respect to TELECOM, they discussed the possibility of using the market price of the Series L shares of each of AMX, TELINT and TELMEX, and TELECOM’s net debt.

Following the aforementioned discussions, in early January 2010, Messrs. Hajj and Von Hauske, together with certain members of the Slim Family and TELECOM directors, concluded that the proposed combination should be analyzed from a corporate and regulatory standpoint in order to submit a formal proposal for its consideration by AMX’s Board of Directors. Such conclusion was based, among other things, on (i) the fact that the evolution in the telecommunications industry has led to the existence of concurrent technological platforms for voice, data and video streaming services, (ii) the recent development in terms of applications, functionalities and equipment, (iii) the increased demand for services in Latin America, (iv) the advantages derived from offering integrated communication services in the region, regardless of the platform of origin of such services, and (v) the opportunity to create long-term synergies.

Over the weekend of January 9 and 10, 2010, Mr. Hajj contacted several of AMX’s executive officers, principal shareholders and outside counsel, and the Slim Family, to discuss the viability and potential structure of such a business combination. He also contacted certain representatives of AT&T, which is one of TELINT’s and AMX’s principal shareholders, to inform such shareholder of AMX’s plans in connection with the proposed transaction. Over the same weekend, the General Counsel and Secretary of the Board of Directors of AMX, Mr. Alejandro Cantú Jiménez, and the company’s outside counsel, discussed and devised a preliminary structure for the proposed combination. On January 11, 2010, a working group comprised by various executive offices and advisors informed Mr. Hajj that the preferred structure for such combination would be a concurrent purchase and subscription offer targeted towards TELECOM’s and TELINT’s shareholders, given that any merger or other alternatives to achieve such combination would under Mexican law give rise to adverse tax consequences and involve cumbersome regulatory approval processes in Mexico and the rest of Latin America.

Mr. Hajj submitted the proposed combination to the Board of Directors for its approval, which moved to authorize the company’s executive officers to initiate the processes leading to the possible completion of proceed with the transaction in the proposed terms. The Board of Directors’ decision was unanimous, except that Messrs. Hajj and Patrick Slim Domit abstained from voting thereon to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interests, but were nevertheless in agreement with the resolution adopted by the remaining directors.

Immediately after the board meeting, AMX issued a notice of disclosure of the occurrence of a relevant event and announced its intention to conduct the Offer and the TELINT Offer. On the same date, AMX delivered a letter to each member of TELECOM’s and TELINT’s boards, requesting their authorization for AMX to commence the process towards the consummation of the Offer and the TELINT Offer, as required by Article Twelve of TELINT’s bylaws and Article Thirteen of TELECOM’s bylaws. Such letters contained all the additional information required to be disclosed to any person interested in the acquisition of 10% (ten percent) or more of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of TELECOM and TELINT, in accordance with their respective bylaws.

b. Approval by AMX’s Board of Directors

As mentioned in subsection (a) above, on January 13, 2010, the members of AMX’s Board of Directors resolved, by unanimous consent, to commence the process towards the consummation of the Offer in the terms set forth below, which terms were disclosed to the public and the Board of Directors of TELECOM:

“América Móvil’s Tender Offer for Carso Global Telecom and Telmex Internacional

Mexico City, January 13, 2010. América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (América Móvil) [BMV: AMX] [NYSE: AMX] [NASDAQ: AMOV] [LATIBEX: XAMXL] announced today that it will launch an exchange offer to the shareholders of Carso Global Telecom, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Telecom”), pursuant to which, the shares of this entity would be exchanged for shares issued by América Móvil.

On February 9, 2010, AMX’s Audit and Corporate Governance Committee issued a favorable opinion with respect to the commencement of the Offer by AMX. Likewise, it resolved, among other things, to ratify the appointment of Credit Suisse. Said appointment was approved by AMX’s Board of Directors on January 13, 2010. In connection with the Offer, Credit Suisse was requested (in its capacity as independent expert advisor engaged by AMX’s Board of Directors, in accordance with, and for purposes of, Mexican law) to issue for the information of AMX’s Board of Directors its opinion, from a financial perspective, as to the financial fairness of the consideration, in cash or in AMX Shares, offered by AMX to TELINT’s shareholders in connection with the Offer.

f. Opinion of AMX’s Financial Advisor and Independent Expert for Mexican law purposes

During the meeting of the Board of Directors of AMX held on March 9, 2010, Credit Suisse issued its opinion to AMX’s Board of Directors, stating that, as of the date thereto and, based upon the facts disclosed therein, and on other considerations included therein, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 26(a), the consideration in cash or in AMX Shares offered to TELINT’s shareholders is reasonable from a financial perspective to AMX. The opinion was issued solely for the information of AMX’s Board of Directors for purposes of evaluating the Offer from a financial perspective and not for the benefit of shareholders and is subject to several presumptions, qualifications, limitations and considerations. The opinion does not deal in any way with other aspects of the Offer, and does not purport to be a recommendation, and shall not be understood as a recommendation to the shareholders in connection with their participation in the Offer or any other matter.

g. Opinion of the Independent Expert Retained by TELINT’s Audit and Corporate Governance Committee

As disclosed by TELINT on March 19, 2010, TELINT’s Audit and Corporate Governance Committee confirmed Merrill Lynch’s appointment as independent expert advisor engaged by TELINT’s Board of Directors for purposes of the issuance of an opinion as to the financial fairness of the exchange ratio and the Purchase Price proposed in connection with the Offer. Based upon the facts disclosed thereto, and the other considerations described in its opinion, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 23(b), Merrill Lynch advised TELINT’s Board of Directors that the exchange ratio and the Purchase Price offered to TELINT’s shareholders are reasonable from a financial perspective. Recipients of this Offering Memorandum are advised to review Exhibit 26(b) hereto to fully understand such opinion, including the facts upon which it is based and any qualifications thereto.

h. Approval by TELINT’s Board of Directors

As disclosed by TELINT on March 19, 2010, pursuant to Article 101 of the LMV its Board of Directors, taking into consideration Merrill Lynch’s independent expert opinion and the opinion of TELINT’s Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, both to the effect that the exchange ratio and the Purchase Price offered by AMX in connection with the Offer are justified from a financial perspective and, accordingly, are fair to TELINT’s shareholders, determined that the exchange ratio and the Purchase Price for purposes of the Offer are fair and reasonable from a financial perspective.

In addition, pursuant to Article 101 of the LMV, all members of TELINT’s Board of Directors holding TELINT Shares, have informed AMX that they intend to participate in the Offer in the terms proposed by AMX, assuming that the economic situation and market conditions remain stable. TELINT’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Oscar Von Hauske, does not hold any TELINT Shares.

Finally, the members of TELINT’s Board of Directors indicated that, notwithstanding the fact that in their opinion they have no conflicts of interests in connection with the Offer, in order to avoid any potential perception as to the existence of any such conflict Messrs. Arturo Elías Ayub and Carlos Slim Domit decided to abstain from participating in any discussion with respect to the Offer, but were nevertheless in agreement with the resolution adopted by the remaining directors.

The primary purpose of the Offer is for AMX to acquire all of the outstanding shares of stock of TELECOM available in the open market, and for TELECOM’s participating shareholders to subscribe AMX Shares.

Consolidation of Operations and Creation of Synergies between AMX and TELINT

The purpose of the Offer and the TELECOM Offer is for AMX to acquire, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the outstanding shares of stock of TELINT and TELECOM, so as to integrate AMX’s wireless communication services with TELINT’s voice, data and video transmission, Internet access and other telecommunications services in Brazil, Colombia and certain Latin American countries where both AMX and TELINT currently operate. AMX believes that the evolution of the telecommunications industry in the past few years has resulted in the development of integrated technological platforms capable of providing combined voice, data and video transmission services. This circumstance, coupled with the most recent advances in applications, functionalities and equipment, points towards an exponential increase in the demand for data services throughout Latin America. AMX believes that the proposed business combination would enable it to provide integrated communication services to its customers in the two companies’ operating regions, regardless of their platform of origin at any given time.

AMX and TELINT have significant operations in seven countries. AMX provides wireless voice and data services in each such country. The following table contains a description of the services offered by TELINT in each such country:

* Through its subsidiaries, TELINT offers double- and triple-play services in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. TELINT also offers double-play services in Argentina.

AMX anticipates that upon completion of the Offer and the TELECOM Offer it will be able to create synergies and opportunities for growth throughout Latin America and, particularly, in these seven countries. The proposed business combination will facilitate the use of the operating companies’ networks, information systems, management and personnel, and will enable them to provide more universally integrated services to their customers. AMX expects that the combined entity will enjoy of a strengthened position towards the major suppliers and will be better able to implement new technologies.

AMX has identified several areas where it may develop specific plans in terms of its consolidation and the creation of synergies: (1) operations, networking and IT; (2) legal, taxation and finance; (3) marketing and distribution; and (4) organization. Upon consummation of the Offer and the TELECOM Offer, AMX expects to work closely with TELINT towards the achievement of results in these four primary areas. AMX has not prepared any estimates as to the specific financial effects of any of these measures.

AMX has not committed to any disposition, liquidation or restructuring of the business assets of either TELINT or TELECOM. AMX does not currently anticipate being required to make any such disposition of assets by the competent regulatory or antitrust authorities as a result of the Offer and/or the TELECOM Offer. Depending on the business structure it may implement in each particular country, AMX may be required to obtain certain authorizations or consents from the competent regulatory or antitrust authorities thereof. Consistent with its past practice, AMX will continue to explore potential acquisition opportunities that may enhance the value of its business portfolio, and may decide to carry out any such acquisition directly, through TELINT and/or through any of their respective subsidiaries.

AMX provides services in many of the same countries where TELINT has significant business operations, including wireless telecommunication services in Paraguay and Uruguay, fixed-line and wireless telecommunication services in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama, fixed-line, wireless and broadband services in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, and wireless telecommunication and value added services in Jamaica.

Plans with Respect to TELINT

Upon completion of the Offer and the TELECOM Offer, and assuming that AMX will successfully acquire a substantial majority of the TELINT Shares (other than the TELINT Shares currently owned by TELECOM), AMX will hold a controlling interest in TELINT. AMX’s immediate priority will be to ensure that both companies can continue providing high-quality services to their subscribers and working efficiently to achieve the generation of synergies and opportunities for growth throughout Latin America.

Preliminary Offering Memorandum

Dated April 19, 2010

 

Contingent upon the outcome of the Offer and the TELECOM Offer, and upon the development of AMX’s business plan as with respect to the combined entity, AMX could decide to implement certain changes in the organizational structure of TELINT and its subsidiaries. For instance, while it currently has no specific plans to that effect, AMX could cause TELINT to restructure or merge some of its subsidiaries in certain markets.

In addition, following the consummation of the Offer and the TELECOM Offer, AMX expects to review TELINT’s past dividend and share repurchase practices and its capitalization and leverage ratios. AMX has yet to develop any specific plans in that regard and believes that TELINT can continue to operate successfully as an independently capitalized and funded group. Notwithstanding the above, AMX may decide to change the capital structure and financing practices of TELINT’s subsidiaries. In particular, AMX or its subsidiaries may decide, at any time prior to, during and after the Offer, to supply financing to TELINT, TELECOM and Telmex or their respective subsidiaries.

AMX does not anticipate making any material change in TELINT’s management following the Offer and the TELINT Offer. However, if the TELINT Shares are delisted in both Mexico and the U.S., AMX would implement certain changes in the composition of TELINT’s board of directors, including removing those directors who were appointed by the public.

Because the consummation of the TELINT Offer is not conditioned upon the acquisition of a minimum number of TELINT Shares, AMX could complete the Offer but hold less than 100% (one hundred percent) of the TELINT Shares. The existence of minority shareholders at TELINT may generate additional expenses and result in administrative inefficiencies. For example, AMX may be precluded from cancelling the registration of the TELINT Shares or from conducting certain types of reorganizations involving TELINT and its subsidiaries that would result in significant benefits to the combined entity.

Plans with Respect to TELECOM

Contingent upon the outcome of the TELECOM Offer, AMX may decide to implement certain changes in the organizational structure of TELECOM and its subsidiaries. For instance, although AMX does not currently have any plans to such effect, AMX could decide to restructure or merge TELECOM or any of its subsidiaries with or into other entities within AMX’s group.

In addition, following the consummation of the TELECOM Offer, AMX expects to make a decision with respect to the ongoing registration of the TELECOM Shares in the various markets in which such shares are listed for trading, and to review TELECOM’s past dividend and share repurchase practices and its capitalization and leverage ratios. AMX may also decide to modify TELECOM’S capital structure and financing. In particular, AMX or its subsidiaries may decide, at any time prior to, during and after the Offer, to supply financing to TELINT, TELECOM and Telmex or their respective subsidiaries.

Cancellation of the Registration of the TELECOM Shares

For additional information concerning the maintenance or cancellation of the registration of the TELECOM Shares with the RNV, see Section 17 of this Offering Memorandum.

Plans with Respect to Telmex

Although the acquisition of TELECOM will result in AMX holding a controlling interest in Telmex, AMX does not plan to integrate its operations with the business operations of Telmex, although it may consider potential synergies. AMX or its subsidiaries may decide, at any time prior to, during and after the Offer, to supply financing to TELINT, TELECOM and Telmex or their respective subsidiaries.

12. CAPITAL RESOURCES

AMX is offering to purchase up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the outstanding shares of TELINT, provided that each TELINT shareholder may elect to receive (i) AMX Series L shares based upon an exchange ratio of 0.373 Series L shares of AMX per TELINT Share, or (ii) the Purchase Price in cash.

Those TELINT’s shareholders who may decide to participate in the offer may elect to receive (i) 0.373 AMX Shares in exchange for each TELINT Share, it being understood that the AMX Shares are not subject and shall not be deemed subject to the Offer but shall be deemed to constitute an integral element of the Offer, or (ii) the Purchase Price, or Ps.11.66 in cash per TELINT Share.

The amount of capital resources required by América Móvil to consummate the Offers will depend largely on the decision of the holders of TELINT Shares that may elect to participate in the TELINT Offer and the U.S. Offer, as to whether to tender their TELINT Shares in exchange for cash or for AMX Shares. TELECOM has advised AMX that it will not participate in the Offer.

Should TELINT’s shareholders elect to receive the Purchase Price in cash, the aggregate amount of cash that AMX would require to complete the Offer, including the applicable fees and expenses, would be approximately Ps.82.5 billion, although it is not expected to exceed Ps.61.5 billion. Neither the Offer noR the TELECOM Offers is condition upon the availability of external financing sources.

AMX has sufficient cash and cash equivalents available to complete the Offer and the TELECOM Offer, including in the event that the Offer is exercised in full. As of December 31, 2009, AMX’s cash and cash equivalents were Ps.27.4 billion, or approximately U.S.$2.1 billion at the December 31, 2009 exchange rate. Since then, AMX has capitalized on the existence of favorable market conditions to raise a significant amount of additional financing resources through the issuance of debt securities in several markets. In March 2010, AMX issued three series of Peso-denominated debt instruments in the Mexican market, including Ps.4.6 billion in debt due in 2015, Ps.7 billion in debt due in 2010, and Ps.3.27 billion in debt due in 2025. In addition, in March 2010, AMX issued three series of U.S. dollar-denominated debt instruments in the international markets, including U.S.$750 million in debt due in 2015, U.S.$2 billion in debt due in 2010, and U.S.$1.25 billion debt due in 2040. In April 2010, AMX issued SF$230 million in debt due 2015, in the Swiss market.

In addition, AMX has access to other cash resources in amount sufficient to satisfy its funding requirements, including cash generated from its operations during 2010, drawings under committed facilities from export credit agencies totaling approximately $1 billion, and a revolving credit line for US$2 billion maturing in 2011.

AMX will pay for all the expenses incurred in connection with the Offer, the U.S. Offer and the TELECOM Offer, which amount to approximately Ps.88.5 million. Such expenses include, among others:

 

   

Application review and processing fees in the amount of Ps.31,416;

 

   

Underwriting and exchange fees and commissions in the amount of Ps.20,000,000;

 

   

Financial advisors’ fees in the amount of Ps.41,000,000;

 

   

Legal fees in the amount of Ps.20,000,000;

 

   

Auditors’ fees in the amount of Ps.8,160,000;

 

   

Printing costs in the amount of Ps.100,000; and

 

   

Publication costs in the amount of Ps.150,000.

13. CAPITAL STRUCTURE

As of the Commencement Date, AMX did not own, whether directly or indirectly, any TELECOM Shares.

Assuming that AMX will acquire all of the TELECOM Shares in connection with the Offer, AMX will own 100% (one hundred percent) of the shares of stock of TELECOM; provided, that if the condition set forth in Article 89(I) of the General Corporations Law is not satisfied, then a subsidiary of AMX will purchase one (1) TELECOM Share.

Upon consummation of the Offer and giving effect to the TELECOM Offer, AMX’s organizational structure will be as follows:

14. CONSEQUENCES OF THE OFFER

The consummation of the Offer will cause the number of TELINT shareholders to decrease significantly and, as a result, there may be no active secondary market for the TELINT Shares after the Expiration Date.

Until such time as the registration of the TELINT Shares with the RNV and the BMV shall have been cancelled, TELINT will remain subject to the provisions contained in the LMV, the General Rules and other applicable provisions, including those governing the periodic disclosure of information and the supervision and surveillance powers of the CNBV.

Assuming that TELINT’s shareholders will elect to tender their shares in connection with the Offer, AMX intends purchase up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the TELINT Shares and may file a petition to cancel the registration of such shares with the RNV and the BMV, subject to the consent of at least 95% (ninety five percent) of TELINT’s shareholders. Contingent upon the outcome of the Offer, and subject to the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in the applicable laws to ensure the protection of the public’s interests, and the approval of the requisite corporate actions, AMX intends to file with the CNBV a petition to cancel the registration of the TELINT Shares with the RNV and the BMV, so that such shares will no longer trade therein.

As described in sections 17 and 19 of this Offering Memorandum, if upon completion of the Offer the CNBV approves the cancellation of the TELINT Shares with the RNV and the BMV, but there are still any TELINT Shares held by the public, pursuant to Article 108(I)(c) of the LMV the Issuer will establish an irrevocable management trust (the “Trust”) and transfer thereto, for a term of not less than six (6) months from the date of cancellation of the registration of the TELINT Shares with the RNV, a number of Series L AMX Shares sufficient to enable the holders of any TELINT Shares not tendered in connection with the Offer, to subscribe such Series L shares based upon the same exchange ratio as in the Offer, and cash resources in an amount sufficient to pay the Purchase Price in respect of any such TELINT Shares. Any TELINT shareholder that elects not to tender his/her TELINT Shares in connection with the Offer, or to subsequently transfer such shares to the aforementioned Trust, will become a shareholder of a privately held company. The TELINT Shares will lose their liquidity, which will in turn have a material adverse effect their market price.

In any event, AMX will observe all applicable legal provisions to ensure the protection of the public’s interests and the market generally, as required by the LMV.

The Series L of AMX to be subscribed by the holders of the TELINT Shares in connection with the Offer are limited-voting shares, no par value, issued in registered form. For additional information, see sections 15 and 16 of this Offering Memorandum.

AMX does not expect the consummation of the Offer to result in any material violation of the applicable laws and regulations, or the regulatory requirements imposed by the applicable antitrust laws.

15. RISK FACTORS

The Offer involves various material risks and consequences. As a result, TELINT’s shareholders should consider such risks, including, without limitation, those described below, before making any decision as to whether or not to participate in the Offer.

The offering price is fixed and will not be adjusted in response to market fluctuations

AMX is offering to purchase the TELINT Shares based upon an exchange ratio of 0.373:1 and, as a result, TELINT’s shareholders will receive 0.373 Series L shares of AMX for each TELINT Share tendered by them in connection with the Offer, or Ps.11.66 in cash. AMX will not adjust the exchange ratio in response to any fluctuation in the market price of the securities subject matter of the Offer. The market price of the TELINT Shares may vary significantly between the date of this Offering Memorandum and throughout the Offering Period.

The liquidity of any TELINT Shares not tendered in connection with the Offer may be adversely affected

AMX intends to acquire up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the shares of stock of TELINT in connection with the Offer, and to promote the cancellation of the registration of the TELINT Shares with the RNV and the BMV. The market for any remaining TELINT Shares may be less liquid than the market for such shares prior to the Offer, and the market value of such shares could decrease significantly with respect to their value prior to the Expiration Date, particularly if the TELECOM Shares are effectively cancelled with the RNV and delisted from the BMV.

If you do not tender your TELINT Shares in connection with the Offer, you will remain a minority shareholder of TELINT and there may be no liquid marked for the TELINT Shares

If you do not tender your TELINT Shares in connection with the Offer, upon completion of the Offer you will become a minority shareholder in TELINT and will have limited rights, if any, to influence the outcome of any decision requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, the acquisition or transfer of material assets, the issuance of shares or other securities, and the payment of dividends on the TELINT Shares. Mexican law affords limited rights to minority shareholders. Under Mexican law, AMX may be required to conduct a subsequent offer to purchase any remaining TELINT Shares, or to establish a trust for the acquisition of any publicly held TELINT Shares. However, AMX cannot predict whether the conditions that would trigger such obligation will occurr. In addition, upon completion of the Offer the market for the TELINT Shares may become less liquid. As a result, the price for any future transfer of TELINT Shares could be significantly lower than the price per share reflected by the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer.

In addition, unless the CNBV approves the cancellation of the TELINT Shares with the RNV, such shares will continue to trade on the BMV. Pursuant to Article 108 of the LMV, the CNBV may cancel the registration of any securities with the RNV in any of the events set forth in such provision, if it determines that the protection of the public’s interests has been ensured and the conditions set forth in such Article 108 have been satisfied.

Following the consummation of the Offer, the market liquidity of the TELINT Shares will be materially and adversely affected as a result of the cancellation of the registration of such shares with the RNV and the BMV, given that in all likelihood there will be no further active trading market in which to sell such shares. As a result, the Purchase Price of such TELINT Shares would be substantially lower than the price offered in connection with the Offer.

Preliminary Offering Memorandum

Dated April 19, 2010

 

If you do not tender your TELINT Shares in connection with the Offer, you may in the future cease to receive dividend payments from TELINT

TELINT paid dividends in each of 2007, 2008 y 2009. Following the consummation of the Offer, TELINT could or AMX could cause TELINT to reduce or discontinue the payment of dividends and allocate the relevant resources to make business acquisitions or meet its payment obligations, including, without limitation, its obligations under any financing arrangement that AMX and TELINT or its subsidiaries may enter into from time to time. As a result, you should not assume that TELINT will continue to pay dividends on the TELINT Shares if you elect not to tender your TELINT Shares in connection with the Offer.

AMX’s failure to acquire a substantial majority of the outstanding capital stock of TELINT could affect its ability to complete any post-closing change in the organizational structure of the combined company, which could reduce or delay the cost savings or revenue benefits to the combined company

The Offer is not conditioned upon the acquisition of a minimum number of TELINT Shares. In addition, under Mexican law, AMX will only be permitted to apply for the cancellation of the registration of the TELINT Shares with the RNV and to delist such shares on the BMV if at least 95% (ninety five percent) of the holders of TELINT Shares vote favorably (it is the applicable threshold required by Mexican Law to request cancelation of the registration of shares with the RNV and its subsequent delisting from the BMV). As a result, AMX could complete the Offer but hold less than 100% (one hundred percent) of the TELINT Shares. The existence of minority shareholders at TELINT and the non-cancellation of the registration of the TELINT Shares with the RNV and the fact that TELINT Shares remain listed on the BMV, may generate additional expenses and result in administrative inefficiencies. For example, AMX may be precluded from conducting certain types of changes in the organizational structure of TELINT and its respective subsidiaries that would result in significant benefits to the combined entity. In addition, AMX may be required to maintain separate committees at the AMX and TELINT boards of directors, and may be subject to separate reporting requirements with Mexican authorities. In addition, all transactions between AMX and TELINT would be required under Mexican law to be on an arm’s length basis, which may limit AMX’s ability to achieve certain savings and to conduct the joint operations as a single business unit in order to achieve its strategic objectives. As a result, it may take longer and be more difficult to effect any post-closing change in the organizational structure and the full amount of the cost synergies and revenue benefits for the combined company may not be obtained or may only be obtained over a longer period of time. This may adversely affect AMX’s ability to achieve the expected amount of cost synergies and revenue benefits after the Offer is completed.

In case of consummation of the Offer, AMX may fail to realize the business growth opportunities, revenue benefits, cost savings and other benefits anticipated from, or may incur unanticipated costs associated with the Offer

Acquisition of TELECOM Shares by AMX may not achieve the business growth opportunities, revenue benefits, cost savings and other benefits that AMX anticipates. AMX believes the consideration for the Offers is justified by the benefits it expects to achieve by combining its operations with TELECOM and TELINT. However, these expected business growth opportunities, revenue benefits, cost savings and other benefits may not develop and other assumptions upon which the offer consideration was determined may prove to be incorrect, as, among other things, such assumptions were based on publicly available information.

AMX may be unable to fully implement its business plans and strategies for the combined businesses due to regulatory restrictions. Each of AMX and TELINT is subject to extensive government regulation, and AMX may face regulatory restrictions in the provision of combined services in some of the countries in which it operates. For example, in Brazil, AMX’s and TELINT’s businesses are regulated by the Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency, or “Anatel”. Upcoming regulations by Anatel, which focus on

economic groups with significant market powers, would impose new cost-based methodologies for determining interconnection fees charged by operators in Brazil. AMX cannot predict whether Anatel will impose specific regulations that would affect its combined operations more adversely than they would affect its individual operations. In Mexico, Telcel is part of an industry-wide investigation by the Federal Competition Commission to determine whether any operators possess substantial market power or are engaged in monopolistic practices in certain segments of the Mexican telecommunications market. TELECOM is the direct holder of approximately 59.4% (fifty nine point four percent) of the outstanding capital stock of Telmex, and AMX will be acquiring part of Telmex through the Offer. AMX cannot predict whether the Federal Competition Commission or other governmental entities would renew or revise its investigations to take into account the combined businesses.

Under any of these circumstances, the business growth opportunities, revenue benefits, cost savings and other benefits anticipated by AMX to result from the business combination and the change of its organizational structure may not be achieved as expected, or at all, or may be delayed. To the extent that AMX incurs higher integration costs or achieve lower revenue benefits or fewer cost savings than expected, its results of operations, financial condition and the price of its shares may suffer.

If you elect to participate in the Offer, you will receive limited-voting shares of AMX

Holders of TELECOM Shares who may elect to participate in the Offer will be entitled to subscribe Series L shares of the capital stock of AMX, which shares are not subject to and are not included in the Offer.

Pursuant to AMX’s bylaws, holders of the AMX L Shares may vote as a class to appoint two members of AMX’s board of directors and approve any matter affecting their rights as a class. In addition, they may vote together with the other series of shares to approve certain matters, including, among others, the transformation or merger of AMX, the transformation of AMX from one type of company to another, any merger involving AMX, the extension of the corporate life or the voluntary dissolution of AMX, any change in its corporate purpose, any change of nationality, the cancellation of registration of AMX’s shares with the BMV, and any transaction involving 20% or more of AMX’s consolidated assets.

For additional information regarding the AMX L Shares and a comparison between such shares and the A-1 TELECOM Shares, see Section 16 of this Offering Memorandum.

AMX’s shareholders will experience dilution as a result of the Offer

The issuance of shares at a price over book value results in an immediate dilution in the stockholders’ equity per share for any buyer who may subscribe such shares at the pre-established price in connection with the Offer. As a result, the book value per share for any investor who may elect to subscribe shares in connection with the Offer will differ from his initial contribution and will experience dilution in the net profit per share.

The fact that the AMX Shares may trade at a discount over book value is separate and different from the risk that AMX’s stockholders equity per share may decrease. AMX cannot predict whether its shares of stock will trade at above or below its it book value per share. Pursuant to AMX’s financial statements as of December 31, 2009, the subscription or reference price in the Offer is higher than the book value per AMX Share. See Section 24.2(h) of this Offering Memorandum.

See also “Risk Factors” in AMX’s Annual Report (pages 7 to 18), which is incorporated herein by reference.

Each Series AA and Series A share can be converted into a Series L share at the election of its holder, so long as the Series AA shares represent not less than 20% of the outstanding shares of stock or 51% of the aggregate number of Series AA and Series A shares. As of December 31, 2008, the Series AA shares represented 44.29% of the outstanding shares of stock and 95.13% of the aggregate number of Series AA and Series A shares.

17. MAINTENANCE OR CANCELLATION OF THE REGISTRATION

Assuming that TELINT’s shareholders will elect to tender their shares in connection with the Offer, AMX intends purchase up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the TELINT Shares and may file a petition to cancel the registration of such shares with the RNV and the BMV, subject to the consent of at least 95% (ninety five percent) of TELINT’s shareholders. Contingent upon the outcome of the Offer, and subject to the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in the applicable laws to ensure the protection of the public’s interests, and the approval of the requisite corporate actions, AMX intends to file with the CNBV a petition to cancel the registration of the TELINT Shares with the RNV and the BMV, so that such shares will no longer trade therein.

As described in this Section and in Section 18 below, if after the completion of the Offer the CNBV approves the cancellation of the TELINT Shares with the RNV and the BMV, but there are still any TELINT Shares held by the public, pursuant to Article 108(I)(c) of the LMV the Issuer will establish the Trust and transfer thereto, for a term of not less than six (6) months from the date of cancellation of the registration of the TELINT Shares with the RNV, a number of Series L AMX Shares or funds sufficient to enable the holders of any TELINT Shares not tendered in connection with the Offer, to subscribe such Series L shares based upon the same exchange ratio as in the Offer, and cash resources in an amount sufficient to pay the Purchase Price in respect of any such TELINT Shares. Any TELINT shareholder that elects not to tender his/her TELINT Shares in connection with the Offer, or to subsequently transfer such shares to the aforementioned Trust, will become a shareholder of a privately held company. The TELINT Shares will lose their liquidity, which will in turn have a material adverse effect their market price.

In any event, AMX will observe all applicable legal provisions to ensure the protection of the public’s interests and the market generally, as required by the LMV.

The CNBV could resolve not to authorize the cancellation of the registration of the TELINT Shares notwithstanding that such cancellation may have been approved by TELINT’s shareholders. In either case, the TELINT Shares would continue to be listed for trading on the BMV.

Legal Provisions Applicable to the Cancellation

Article 108 of the LMV, which sets forth the procedure applicable to the cancellation of the registration with the RNV, provides that such cancellation will only be approved if in the CNBV’s opinion the protection of the publics’ interests has been ensured and all of the conditions set forth in such article have been met. In addition, pursuant to TELINT’s bylaws, the cancellation of the registration with the RNV must be carried out in strict adherence to the LMV and the General Rules.

Potential Cancellation Scenarios

Contingent upon the outcome of the Offer, following the consummation thereof and subject to the satisfaction of all the applicable legal requirements to ensure the protection of the public’s interests, and the approval of all the requisite corporate actions, and assuming that AMX will elect to cancel the registration of the TELINT Shares with the RNV, under applicable law AMX may proceed with such cancellation in accordance with either of the following scenarios:

A. Immediate Cancellation.

If warranted by the percentage of shares publicly held after the Offer, and subject to the approval of TELINT’s shareholders, AMX will immediately apply for the cancellation of the TELINT Shares with the RNV and the BMV. The requisite percentage would be at least 95% of the outstanding TELINT shares. However, if the holders of 95% (ninety five percent) or more of the outstanding TELINT Shares approve such cancellation but TELECOM does not meet all the other requirements set forth in Article 8 of the General Rules, including the 300,000 UDIs threshold set in respect of the publicly-held TELECOM Shares, TELECOM would be required to establish a trust in order to conduct a subsequent tender offer unless otherwise approved by the CNBV.

B. Deferred Cancellation.

If warranted by the percentage of shares publicly held after the Offer, in the CNBV’s opinion based upon the outcome of the Offer and a detailed review of the terms on which it was completed, AMX will consider conducting a subsequent public offer based on a price equal to the highest of:

 

   

the trading price of such shares on the BMV (which shall for these purposes be the weighted average trading price for the last 30 (thirty) days of reported trading activity for the TELINT Shares, within a period not to exceed the six (6) month-period immediately preceding the subsequent offer or, if the number of trading days within such period is less than 30 (thirty), then the number of days on which such shares were actually traded; or, absent any trading activity occurred during such period, the book value of such shares). For purposes of such determination, the relevant period will include the period subsequent to the announcement of the Offer and, accordingly, there is no guaranty that the resulting price will be equal or similar to the exchange ratio used in connection with the Offer; or

 

   

the book value of per TELINT Share, as the case may be, pursuant to the most recent quarterly report filed with the CNBV and the BMV prior to the commencement of the subsequent offer.

 

   

Notwithstanding the above, based upon TELINT’s financial condition and prospects, it may be requested to the CNBV authorization to determine the offering price in the subsequent offer upon other basis, subject to the submission of evidence of the approval of such basis by TELINT’s board of directors taking into consideration the opinion of its Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, together with a description of the reasons that justify such other price, and a report from an independent expert stating that such other price is consistent with the provisions of Article 108 of the LMV.

AMX cannot anticipate if, when or under what terms and conditions it will conduct a subsequent offer, or if the offering price in connection therewith will be similar to the price determined for purposes of the Offer.

AMX cannot determine if it will elect to maintain the TELINT Shares registered with the RNV and the BMV, or to cancel such registrations as a result of the outcome of the Offer, due to, among others, the following considerations:

 

   

AMX cannot determine the number of TELINT Shares it will acquire in connection with the Offer;

 

   

The Offer is not conditioned upon the acquisition of a minimum number of shares and, accordingly, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the relevant offering documents, AMX will purchase any such number of TELINT Shares as may be tendered in connection therein;

 

   

AMX cannot guaranty that it will establish a trust upon consummation of the Offer. The creation of any such trust will depend on whether or not AMX elects to cancel the registration with the RNV based upon the outcome of such offers;

 

   

AMX cannot guaranty that it will request the cancellation of the registration of the TELINT Shares with the RNV following any subsequent offer. Any decision to such effect will be contingent upon the number of TELINT Shares acquired by AMX; and

If the TELINT Shares cease to constitute publicly trades securities as a result of the cancellation of their registration with the RNV, any transfer of such shares by any individual, including any transfer effected through any trust established pursuant to Article 108 of the LMV, will be subject to the Mexican income tax. For additional information on the tax consequences associated with the transfer of shares through such trust, see Section 19(c) of this Offering Memorandum.

The time period it takes to effectively cancel the registration of shares with the RNV is undetermined. Generally, it may take up to two (2) months to initiate the process and it is not possible to determine how long it will take to culminate.

Corporate Rights

The exercise of various corporate rights, including the appointment of directors, the commencement of liability actions against the directors, the right to petition the issuance of notice of a shareholders meeting, the right to request a delay for voting with respect to a particular matter, and the right to challenge the resolutions adopted by the shareholders, requires ownership of a given percentage of the capital stock. Accordingly, upon completion of the Offer the number of shares held by persons other than AMX may not be sufficient to exercise such rights.

a. Opinion of TELINT’s Board of Directors

Finally, the members of TELINT’s Board of Directors indicated that, notwithstanding the fact that in their opinion they have no conflicts of interests in connection with the Offer, in order to avoid any potential perception as to the existence of any such conflict Messrs. Arturo Elías Ayub and Carlos Slim Domit decided to abstain from participating in any discussion with respect to the Offer, but were nevertheless in agreement with the resolution adopted by the remaining directors. TELECOM has informed AMX that it will not participate in the Offer.

b. Opinion of the Independent Expert Retained by TELINT

As reported by TELINT on March 19, 2010, TELINT’s Audit and Corporate Governance Committee confirmed Merrill Lynch’s appointment as independent expert advisor to TELINT’s Board of Directors for purposes of the issuance of an opinion as to the financial fairness of the exchange ratio and the Purchase Price proposed in connection with the Offer.

On January 13, 2010, AMX’s Board of Directors issued a favorable opinion with respect to the commencement of the Offer by AMX, and resolved, among other things, to authorize AMX to retain a financial advisor as independent expert for purposes of the Offer (and also to act as independent expert fur purposes of, and in accordance with, Mexican law). On February 9, 2010, AMX’s Audit and Corporate Governance Committee issued a favorable opinion with respect to the commencement of the Offer by AMX. Likewise, it resolved, among other things, to ratify the appointment of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“Credit Suisse”). Said appointment was approved by AMX’s Board of Directors on January 13, 2010. In connection with the Offer, Credit Suisse was requested (in its capacity as independent expert advisor engaged by AMX’s Board of Directors, in accordance with, and for purposes of, Mexican law) to issue for the information of AMX’s Board of Directors its opinion, from a financial perspective, as to the financial fairness of the consideration, in cash or in AMX Shares, offered by AMX to TELINT’s shareholders in connection with the Offer. On March 9, 2010, Credit Suisse issued its opinion to AMX Board of Director’s, stating that, as of the date thereto and, based upon the facts disclosed therein, and on other considerations included therein, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 26(a), the consideration, in cash of in AMX Shares offered to TELINT’s shareholders is reasonable from a financial perspective to AMX.

20. TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following summary contains a description of certain Mexican federal income tax consequences applicable to the Offer, but it does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to participate in the Offer.

This discussion does not constitute, and should not be considered as, legal or tax advice to TELINT’s shareholders. This discussion is for general information purposes only and is based upon the federal tax laws of Mexico as in effect on the date of this Offering Memorandum.

The following considerations may not be applicable to all shareholders alike. Accordingly, TELINT’s shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of their participation in the Offer. AMX, the Issuer and the Intermediary assume no liability whatsoever in connection with the tax effects or obligations to those shareholders who may tender their TELINT shares in connection with the Offer.

a. Transfer of the TELINT Shares

Those holders of TELINT Shares that may decide to accept the Offer will transfer their shares for the benefit of AMX. Such transfer may be subject to tax consequences in Mexico.

For purposes of the applicable tax laws, the reference price for tax purposes should be equal to the reference price. However, the reference price may vary for any shareholder able to secure the resolution referred to in Article 26 of Mexico’s Income Tax Law.

The transfer of the TELINT Shares through the BMV in connection with the Offer may have, among others, the following tax consequences depending on the particular situation of each shareholder:

A. Individuals Residents of Mexico

Any individual resident of Mexico not covered by the exception to the condition set forth in Article 109(XXVI) of the Income Tax Law, will be exempt from Mexican income taxes on any gain obtained as a result of the transfer of his/her TELINT Shares through the BMV in connection with the Offer.

Article 109(XXVI) of the Income Tax Law provides for an exemption from taxation in connection with capital gains from the transfer of shares of Mexican issuers carried out through a stock exchange duly licensed in accordance with the LMV, or the transfer of shares of foreign issuers listed in any such exchange.

Notwithstanding the above, Article 109(XXVI) excludes certain transactions from such exemption. Among others, the following transactions remain subject to income tax payment obligations in Mexico: (i) certain transactions by any person or group of persons (as such terms are defined in the Income Tax Law by reference to the LMV) directly or indirectly holding 10% (ten percent) or more of the shares of stock of the relevant issuer or the ability to exercise the control thereof; and (ii) any transfer of shares other than through a stock exchange duly licensed in accordance with the LMV.

B. Non-Mexican Residents

Any income received by any non-Mexican resident as a result of the transfer of shares of Mexican issuers, among others, will be deemed to have originated in Mexico and will be subject to the Mexican income tax.

Preliminary Offering Memorandum

Dated April 19, 2010

 

Notwithstanding the above, non-Mexican residents will not be subject to Mexican income tax payment obligations to the extent they sell their shares through the BMV; provided that the relevant transaction is exempt from income tax obligations pursuant to the provisions contained in Article 109(XXVI) of the Income Tax Law, as described in the preceding paragraph.

Non-Mexican residents holding shares of the Issuer should be aware of the fact that, to the extent that they transfer such shares through the BMV in connection with the Offer, they may be subject to taxation pursuant to the applicable laws of their place or residence or country of origin. Such shareholders should consult with their own tax advisors as to the potential tax consequences of such transfer outside of Mexico.

Individuals or entities that are residents of a country that is party with Mexico to a treaty to avoid double taxation, may abide themselves of the benefits afforded by the applicable treaty by submitting evidence of their residence in such country for tax purposes, appointing a representative for tax purposes in Mexico, and giving notice of such designation to Mexican tax authorities, in addition to satisfying the requirements imposed by the applicable tax laws.

The tax consequences in Mexico from the transfer of TELINT Shares by non-Mexican residents may vary depending upon the availability of a treaty to avoid double taxation between Mexico and the home country of the relevant TELINT shareholder.

C. Mexican Resident Entities, and Non-Mexican Entities That Have a Permanent Establishment in Mexico

Gains obtained by legal entities that are residents of Mexico and non-Mexican Residents who have a permanent place of business in Mexico, as a result of the transfer of their TELINT Shares through the BMV in connection with the Offer, will be considered as taxable income for purposes of the determination of the income tax rate payable thereon.

The gain on the transfer of any shares by any legal entity resident of Mexico or any non-Mexican resident with a permanent place of business in Mexico, will be determined based upon the reference price per share and the average cost of each such share in terms of the applicable law, taking into consideration the particular circumstances of such person.

b. Subscription of the Series L AMX Shares

The subscription of the Series L AMX Shares by those TELINT shareholders participating in the Offer should not give rise to any income tax payment obligation in accordance with the Mexican tax laws in effect as of the date of this Offering Memorandum.

c. Transfer of Unregistered Securities

Assuming that TELINT’s shareholders will elect to tender their shares in connection with the Offer, AMX intends purchase up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the TELINT Shares and may file a petition to cancel the registration of such shares with the RNV and the BMV, subject to the consent of at least 95% (ninety five percent) of TELINT’s shareholders. Contingent upon the outcome of the Offer, and subject to the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in the applicable laws to ensure the protection of the public’s interests, and the approval of the requisite corporate actions, AMX intends to file with the CNBV a petition to cancel the registration of the TELINT Shares and the TELINT Shares with the RNV and the BMV, so that such shares will no longer trade therein.

If the TELINT Shares cease to constitute publicly trades securities as a result of the cancellation of their registration with the RNV, any transfer of such shares by any individual, including any transfer effected through the Trust, will be subject to the Mexican income tax.

23. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

In this section you will find certain additional information included in AMX’s Form F-4 Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Form F-4”), to be filed by AMX with the SEC in connection with the U.S. Offer. The information contained in this Section will be updated and/or amended in accordance with AMX’s Form F-4 as filed with the SEC.

AMX Selected Consolidated Financial Data

Form F-4 incorporates by reference AMX’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and 2009 and for each of the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009. AMX’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (Normas de Información Financiera Mexicanas or “Mexican FRS”) and are presented in Mexican pesos. The financial statements of AMX’s non-Mexican subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform to Mexican FRS and translated to Mexican pesos. See Note 2(a)(ii) to AMX’s audited consolidated financial statements.

Mexican FRS differs in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. Note 21 to the audited consolidated financial statements provides a description of the principal differences between Mexican FRS and U.S. GAAP, as they relate to AMX, a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of net income and total stockholders’ equity and cash flow statements for the years ended 2008 and 2007 under U.S. GAAP.

Under Mexican FRS, AMX’s financial statements for periods ending prior to January 1, 2008 recognized the effects of inflation on financial information. Inflation accounting under Mexican FRS had extensive effects on the presentation of AMX’s financial statements through 2007. See Note 2f to AMX’s audited consolidated financial statements.

Beginning with the year ended December 31, 2012, Mexican issuers with securities listed on a Mexican securities exchange will be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Issuers may voluntarily report using IFRS before the change in the reporting standards becomes mandatory. AMX plans to begin reporting financial statements in IFRS for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, although as of the date hereof it does not have any financial information available under the IFRS.

On December 13, 2006, AMX’s shareholders approved the merger of América Telecom, S.A.B. de C.V., or “Amtel,” AMX’s then controlling shareholder, and its subsidiary Corporativo Empresarial de Comunicaciones, S.A. de C.V., or “Corporativo,” with AMX. As a result of the merger, AMX assumed assets and liabilities based on Amtel’s unaudited financial statements as of October 31, 2006. In accordance with Mexican FRS, the merger with Amtel has been accounted for on a historical basis similar to a pooling of interest basis and AMX has adjusted its financial information and selected financial information presented in this Offering Memorandum to include the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Amtel for periods presented up to December 31, 2006.

The selected financial and operating information set forth below has been derived in part from AMX’s audited consolidated financial statements, which have been reported on by Mancera S.C., a Member Practice of Ernst & Young Global, an independent registered public accounting firm. The selected financial and operating information should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, AMX’s audited consolidated financial statements and the Notes thereto incorporated by reference in Form F-4.

Preliminary Offering Memorandum

Dated April 19, 2010

 

 

(1) In accordance with Mexican FRS, the merger with Amtel has been accounted for on a historical basis similar to a pooling of interest basis and AMX has adjusted its financial information and selected financial information presented in this prospectus to include the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Amtel for periods presented up to December 31, 2006.
(2) Except per share, share capital and subscriber data.
(3) AMX has not included earnings or dividends on a per ADS basis. Each AMX L ADS represents 20 AMX L Shares and each AMX A ADS represents 20 AMX A Shares.
(4) Nominal amounts. Figures provided represent the annual dividend declared at the general shareholders’ meeting and for 2005 and 2007 include special dividends of Ps. 0.30 per share and Ps. 1.0 per share, respectively.
(5) Nominal amounts (except for 2009). For more information on dividends paid per share translated into U.S. dollars, see “Financial Information—Dividends” in the América Móvil 2008 Form 20-F. Amount in U.S. dollars translated at the exchange rate on each of the respective payment dates.
(6) All L Share figures have been adjusted retroactively to reflect a reduction in AMX L Shares as a result of AMX’s merger with Amtel. The increase in América Móvil Series AA shares (“AMX AA Shares”) between 2006 and 2007 was due to the exchange of shares of Amtel for our shares in connection with AMX’s merger with Amtel. Subject to certain restrictions, the shareholders of Amtel were free to elect to receive AMX L Shares or AMX AA Shares.
(7) The differences between AMX’s Mexican FRS and U.S. GAAP operating revenues include the reclassification of (1) the application of EITF 01-9, “Accounting Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer,” which AMX has applied to all periods presented in this table and which resulted in a reclassification of certain commissions paid to distributors from commercial, administrative and general expenses under Mexican FRS to reductions in operating revenues under U.S. GAAP, and (2) the application of EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” which addresses certain aspects of accounting for sales that involved multiple revenue generating products and/or services sold under a single contractual agreement. See Note 21 to AMX’s audited consolidated financial statements.
(8) Includes non-controlling interest.
(9) As of year-end.
(10) Note 2z.3 to AMX’s audited consolidated financial statements describes new accounting pronouncements under Mexican FRS that came into force in 2008 and 2009. The pronouncements that became effective on January 1, 2008 and 2009, were fully implemented in the financial statements included in this prospectus. These new accounting pronouncements were applied on a prospective basis. As a result, the financial statements of prior years, which are presented for comparative purposes, have not been modified and may not be comparable to AMX’s financial statements for 2008 and 2009.
(11) Beginning in 2007, AMX capitalizes interest under Mexican FRS.
(12) Net income and shareholder’s equity information for prior years was retrospectively adjusted for presentation and disclosure purposes, in accordance with amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation. ASC 810 states that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements, and requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest.

TELINT’s Selected Consolidated Financial Data

Form F-4 incorporates by reference the audited consolidated financial statements of TELINT as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007. TELINT’s audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Mexican FRS, which differ in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. Note 19 to TELINT’s audited consolidated financial statements provides a description of the principal differences between Mexican FRS and U.S. GAAP, as they relate to it; a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of net income and total stockholders’ equity; and condensed financial statements under U.S. GAAP.

Due to the adoption of Mexican FRS B-10, effective January 1, 2008, TELINT ceased to recognize the effects of inflation on its financial information. Prior to 2008, inflation accounting had extensive effects on the presentation of TELINT’s financial statements. TELINT’s financial information for periods prior to December 31, 2007 is presented in constant pesos as of December 31, 2007, while its financial information for 2009 and 2008 is presented in nominal pesos. See Note 2(c) to TELINT’s audited consolidated financial statements. In TELINT’s financial information for 2009 and 2008, inflation adjustments for prior periods have not been removed from stockholders’ equity, and the re-expressed amounts for non-monetary assets at December 31, 2007 became the accounting basis for those assets beginning on January 1, 2008 and for subsequent periods, as required by Mexican FRS.

TELINT was established on December 26, 2007, pursuant to a procedure under Mexican law called an escisión, or the Escisión, which spun off the Latin American and yellow pages businesses of Telmex. The audited consolidated financial statements and the summary financial data provided below for the dates and periods prior to the effective date of the Escisión, which was December 26, 2007, under Mexican FRS, include the historical operations of the entities transferred by Telmex to TELINT in the Escisión that established TELINT. See Note 1 to TELINT’s audited consolidated financial statements.

The selected consolidated financial data set forth below have been derived from TELINT’s audited consolidated financial statements for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2009, which have been reported on by Mancera, S.C., a Member Practice of Ernst & Young Global, an independent registered public accounting firm. The selected consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, TELINT’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein by reference to Form F-4.

(1) New accounting pronouncements under Mexican FRS that became effective in 2009 and 2008 were applied on a prospective basis. As a result, the financial statements of prior years, which are presented for comparative purposes, have not been modified and may not be comparable to our financial statements for 2009 and 2008.
(2) TELINT’s results of operations in 2006 were affected by several items relating to Brazilian tax proceedings. Under commercial, general and administrative costs, TELINT recorded (a) a charge of Ps. 4,210 million related to Embratel’s settlement of a dispute over Embratel’s liability for value added tax and (b) a provision of Ps. 1,467 million for penalties and monetary correction related to income tax on incoming international long distance service. Under other expenses (income), net TELINT recorded (a) other income of Ps. 3,919 million representing the monetary gain and accrued interest related to taxes Embratel paid between 1990 and 1994 and became entitled to recover in 2006 and (b) other expenses of Ps. 1,862 million representing the monetary gain and interest accrued related to back income tax Embratel was required to pay in 2006 on incoming international long distance service for prior periods.
(3) Based on the weighted average numbers of shares of Telmex in 2007 and prior years. TELINT has not presented net income on a per ADS basis. Each TII L ADS represents 20 TII L Shares, and each TII A ADS represents 20 TII A Shares.
(4) Information for prior years was retrospectively adjusted for presentation and disclosure purposes, in accordance with amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation. See Note 19 to TELINT’s audited consolidated financial statements. ASC 810 states that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements, and requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest.
(5) The dividend of Ps. 0.15 per share declared at the general shareholders meeting held in July 2008 was paid in equal installments of Ps. 0.075 per share. Holders of TII ADSs were paid a U.S. dollar equivalent of U.S.$0.144 per TII ADS in September 2008 and U.S.$0.111 per TII ADS in December 2008 (based on the exchange rate applicable on each payment date). The dividend of P.0.17 per share declared at the general shareholders’ meeting held in April 2007 was paid in equal installments of P.0.085 per share. Holders of TII ADSs were paid a U.S. dollar equivalent of U.S.$0.128 per TII ADS in August 2009 and U.S.$0.131 per TII ADS in November 2009 (based on the exchange rate applicable on each payment date).

Telmex Selected Consolidated Financial Data

Telmex’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Mexican FRS, which differ in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. Note 17 to Telmex’s audited consolidated financial statements provides a description of the principal differences between Mexican FRS and U.S. GAAP, as they relate to it; a reconciliation to U.S. GAAP of net income and total stockholders’ equity; and condensed financial statements under U.S. GAAP.

Due to the adoption of Mexican FRS B-10, effective January 1, 2008, Telmex ceased to recognize the effects of inflation on its financial information. Prior to 2008, inflation accounting had extensive effects on the presentation of Telmex’s financial statements. Telmex’s financial information for periods through December 31, 2007 is presented in constant pesos as of December 31, 2007, while its financial information for 2009 and 2008 is presented in nominal pesos. See Note 1(II)(b) to Telmex’s audited consolidated financial statements. In Telmex’s financial information for 2009 and 2008, inflation adjustments for prior periods have not been removed from stockholders’ equity, and the re-expressed amounts for non-monetary assets at December 31, 2007 became the accounting basis for those assets beginning on January 1, 2008 and for subsequent periods, as required by Mexican FRS.

In December 2007, Telmex transferred its Latin American and yellow pages directory businesses to TELINT in the Escisión. The businesses Telmex transferred to TELINT are presented as discontinued operations for dates and periods prior to the effective date of the Escisión, which was December 26, 2007 under Mexican FRS and June 10, 2008 under U.S. GAAP. See Note 2 to Telmex’s audited consolidated financial statements.

The selected consolidated financial data set forth below have been derived from Telmex’s audited consolidated financial statements for each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2009, which have been reported on by Mancera, S.C., a Member Practice of Ernst & Young Global, an independent registered public accounting firm. The selected consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein by reference to Form F-4.

Comparative Per Share Market Data

AMX announced the TELINT Offer and the TELECOM Offer on January 13, 2010 after the close of the trading markets. The following tables present the market value of the TELINT Shares and ADSs (on an historical and equivalent per share basis) and the market value of the AMX Shares and ADSs (on an historical basis) as of January 13, 2010 [and April [], 2010, the last trading date prior to this prospectus for which stock prices were available.] Shareholders are urged to obtain current market information regarding the AMX Securities and the TELINT Shares and ADSs and TELINT Shares and ADSs. The market prices of these securities will fluctuate during the pendency of this offer and the Mexican Offer and thereafter, and may be different from the prices set forth below at the expiration of this offer and at the time you receive our shares. See “Market Information” for further information about historical market prices of TELINT Shares and ADSs and AMX Shares and ADSs.

The economic terms of the TELINT Offer and the TELECOM Offer were determined by us based on the average closing prices of the AMX L Shares, the TELINT L Shares and the Series L Shares of Telmex (the “TMX L Shares”) on the BMV over the ten trading days ending at January 12, 2010, the day immediately prior to the announcement of AMX’s intention to make the offers. See “The Offers—Basis for Determination of the Consideration.”

TELINT L Shares and AMX L Shares

The following table presents the closing market prices per share as reported on the BMV for AMX L Shares and TELINT L Shares as of (1) January 13, 2010 [and (2) April [], 2010].

Comparative Historical and Unaudited Pro Forma Per Share Data

The following comparative tables present historical and unaudited pro forma per share data and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of each of AMX, TELINT and Telmex, incorporated herein by reference to Form F-4, and with the Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information included elsewhere in Form F-4. The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared based upon the same assumptions used in the preparation of the Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information. The following information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of AMX and TELINT incorporated by reference into this Offering Memorandum and the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information included elsewhere in this Offering Memorandum. The unaudited pro forma financial information below is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial position that would have been achieved if the Offer had occurred on the dates indicated nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of operations or financial position of the integrated companies.

The following tables present historical, unaudited pro forma and unaudited pro forma equivalent per share data under Mexican FRS and U.S. GAAP. The amounts presented reflect the following:

 

   

Because holders of TII Securities may elect to receive cash rather than AMX Securities, we cannot predict the dilutive effect of the TII Offer. In the table below we have assumed a share-for-share exchange with no cash being paid. Refer to further discussion in Note 2(c) of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.

 

   

Pro-forma book value per share data assumes that both the TII Offer and the related CGT Offer occurred on December 31, 2009. Pro-forma earnings per share data and pro-forma dividend per share data assume that the TII Offer occurred on January 1, 2009, and the CGT Offer occurred on January 1, 2007. Refer to further discussion in Notes 1 and 4 of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.

 

   

Book value per share is computed by dividing total controlling interest shareholders’ equity by the number of historical shares outstanding at December 31, 2009. Pro-forma book value per share is computed by dividing total pro-forma controlling interest shareholders’ equity by the number of pro-forma shares outstanding at December 31, 2009. Refer to further discussion in Note 4 of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.

 

   

Dividends per share data are calculated by dividing total dividends per share paid by us by the total historical weighted average of number of shares outstanding during each year. Pro-forma dividends per share data is calculated by dividing total dividends per share paid by us by the total pro-forma weighted average of number of shares outstanding during each year. Refer to further discussion in Note 4 of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.

 

   

Equivalent basis information reflects historical amounts adjusted to reflect the applicable exchange ratios described in Note 1 of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.

 

   

The pro-forma combined columns reflect the effect of the CGT Offer (a common control transaction) [for all periods]. Because CGT does not prepare separate U.S. GAAP financial statements, a separate column for CGT historical amounts has not been presented below. Refer to further discussion in Note 3(d) to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.Year ended December 31, 2009.

Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The following tables presents unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information under Mexican FRS and U.S. GAAP, as indicated for the year ended December 31, 2009 for AMX, assuming the completion of the Offer and the TELECOM Offer. AMX is presenting the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP and U.S. GAAP, to provide holders of TELINT Shares and ADSs with a picture of what the results of operations and financial position of the combined businesses of AMX, TELINT and TELECOM might have looked like had these exchange offers been completed on an earlier date. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” in this prospectus for an explanation of the basis of preparation of these data, including the assumptions underlying them and the limitations thereof.

Fractional Entitlements

Fractions of AMX L Shares or AMX L ADSs will not be issued to persons whose TELINT Shares and ADSs are exchanged in the U.S. Offer.

Regulatory Matters

AMX will not be obligated to purchase or exchange any tendered TELINT Shares pursuant to the U.S. Offer if it has not obtained any waiver, consent, extension, approval, action or non-action from any governmental, public, judicial, legislative or regulatory authority or agency or other party which is necessary to consummate the Offer and the other transactions contemplated by AMX shall not have been obtained (or shall have expired or otherwise ceased to be in full force and effect), or any such consent, extension, approval, action or non-action contains terms and conditions or imposes any requirement, or any limitations on the participation by any shareholder in the Offer, in either case unacceptable to AMX, in its reasonable judgment.

Mexican Regulatory Matters

AMX has made all necessary filings for the approval of the TELECOM Offer and the TELINT Offer by Mexican regulators, including the Federal Economic Competition Commission (Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica or “Cofeco”). On February 11, 2010, Cofeco informed AMX that the Cofeco board unconditionally authorized AMX to carry out the TELECOM Offer and the TELINT Offer.

U.S. Regulatory Matters

The TELINT Offer is not subject to the notification requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). However, the TELECOM Offer was subject to the notification requirements of the HSR Act. On February 23, 2010 the Pre-Merger Notification Office at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission granted an early termination of the HSR Act waiting period.

Although the Offer is not subject to the notification requirements of the HSR Act, the Department of Justice, Antitrust Division or the U.S. Federal Trade Commission frequently scrutinize the legality under the antitrust laws of transactions such as the Offer. At any time before or after delivery of AMX Shares in the Offer, the Antitrust Division or the FTC could take whatever action under the antitrust laws it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the delivery of AMX shares pursuant to the Offer, seeking the divestiture of TELINT Shares acquired by AMX pursuant to the TELINT Offer or seeking the divestiture of substantial assets of TELINT or TELECOM. Private parties and state attorneys general may also bring legal action under federal or state antitrust laws under some circumstances. Based upon an examination of information available to AMX relating to the businesses in which it, TELINT, TELECOM and their respective subsidiaries are engaged, AMX believes that the Offer will not violate U.S. antitrust laws. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that a challenge to the Offer on antitrust grounds will not be made or, if a challenge were made, what the result would be.

In addition, TELECOM’s subsidiaries that hold licenses and authorizations from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) must submit post-closing notifications to the FCC for the transfers of control resulting from the Offer and the TELECOM Offer. The FCC typically processes as a routine matter such “pro forma” transfer of control applications and notifications, i.e., applications and notifications relating to transactions in which the ultimate controlling shareholder does not change. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that interested parties will not seek to oppose one or more of the submissions, or that the FCC will not raise questions about the Offer or the TELECOM Offer, and there can be no assurance as to the outcome of any such opposition or review.

Other Regulatory Matters

Several of AMX’s subsidiaries, including those operating in Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador, will be required to formally notify the relevant regulatory authorities after the consummation of the Offer and the TELECOM Offer.

Except as set forth above, AMX is unaware of any other material regulatory approvals or other regulatory actions required for the consummation of the Offer and the TELECOM Offer and the other transactions contemplated by AMX. Should any such approval or other action be required, AMX currently contemplates that such approval or other action will be sought. AMX is unable to predict whether such approval or other action may determine that we are required to delay the acceptance for exchange or purchase of TELINT Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer pending the outcome of any such matter. There can be no assurance that any such approval or other action, if needed, would be obtained or would be obtained without substantial conditions or that if such approvals were not obtained or such other actions were not taken adverse consequences might not result to TELINT’s business or certain parts of TELINT’s business might not have to be disposed of. Our obligation under the U.S. Offer to accept for payment or exchange and pay for shares is subject to the conditions as described above.

Shareholder Agreements

AMX

AMX’s former controlling shareholder, Amtel, and a subsidiary of AT&T, as successors of TELECOM and SBC International, Inc., respectively, were parties to an agreement relating to their ownership of AMX AA Shares. Among other things, the agreement subjects certain transfers of AMX AA Shares by either party to a right of first offer in favor of the other party. The right of first offer does not apply to the conversion of AMX AA Shares to AMX L Shares or the subsequent transfer of AMX L Shares. The agreement also provides for the composition of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee and for each party to enter into a management services agreement with AMX. The AMX L Shares that AT&T will acquire in the TELINT Offer will not be subject to the agreement.

According to reports of beneficial ownership of AMX shares filed with the SEC, the Slim Family the Control Trust expect to enter into amendments of the agreement with AT&T pursuant to which the Slim Family and the Control Trust will succeed to the rights and obligations of Amtel.

Telmex

A subsidiary of AT&T and TELECOM have a shareholders’ agreement relating to their ownership of TMX AA Shares, which among other things subjects certain transfers of TMX AA Shares by either party to a right of first offer in favor of the other party and provides for the composition of the board of directors and executive committee of Telmex.

TELINT

TELINT was established in a spin-off from Telmex in 2007. Following the spin-off, AT&T and TELECOM have continued to conduct themselves as though the existing shareholders agreement relating to Telmex also applies to TELINT. Though they have not entered into a new agreement relating to TELINT, they have stated that they expect to enter into such an agreement. Following the completion of the TELINT Offer, however, AMX does not expect that such an agreement will be necessary.

Related Party Transactions—Transactions with Telmex, TELINT and Subsidiaries

AMX has, and expects to continue to have, a variety of contractual relationships with Telmex, TELINT and their subsidiaries, including some of their international subsidiaries.

According to beneficial ownership reports filed with the SEC, Telmex and TELINT may be deemed to be under common control with AMX.

Continuing Commercial Relationships

Because both AMX, on the one hand, and Telmex or TELINT, on the other hand, provide telecommunications services in some of the same geographical markets, they have extensive operational relationships. These relationships include interconnection between their respective networks; use of facilities, particularly for our lease of premises owned by Telmex and the co-location of equipment in such premises; use of their private circuits; the provision of long distance services to their customers; and use of each other’s services. The most significant of these relationships are between Radiomóvil Dispa, S.A. de C.V. (“Telcel”) and Telmex in Mexico and between our Brazilian subsidiaries and Embratel Participações S.A. (“Embratel”), a subsidiary of TELINT that mainly provides fixed-line telecommunication services, in Brazil. Many of the agreements and arrangements are also subject to specific regulations governing telecommunications services. These relationships are subject to a variety of different agreements, which contain terms generally similar to those on which each company does business with unaffiliated parties.

These operational relationships are material to AMX’s financial performance. In 2009, Ps. 18,070 million of AMX’s total operating revenues were attributable to interconnection with Telmex and its subsidiaries, primarily representing payments under the calling party pays system arising from fixed-to-mobile calls.
