For additional information, see Section 18 of this Disclosure Statement, Opinion of the Board of Directors and the Independent Expert.
Opinion of TELECOMs Independent Expert Advisor: As disclosed by TELECOM on March 19, 2010, TELECOMs Audit and Corporate Governance Committee confirmed Santanders appointment as independent expert advisor engaged by TELECOMs Board of Directors for purposes of the issuance of an opinion as to the financial fairness of the exchange ratio proposed in connection with the Offer.

Recipients of this Disclosure Statement are advised to review Exhibit 25(b) hereto to fully understand such opinion, including the facts upon which it is based and any qualifications thereto.
Opinion of AMXs Financial Advisor and Independent Expert for Mexican Law Purposes: On January 13, 2010, AMXs 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, AMXs 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).

On March 9, 2010, Credit Suisse issued its opinion to AMX 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 24(a), the exchange ratio offered to TELECOMs shareholders is reasonable from a financial standpoint to AMX. The opinion was issued solely for the information of AMXs Board of Directors for purposes of evaluating the Offer from a financial standpoint 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 TELECOMs shareholders will elect to tender their shares in connection with the Offer, AMX intends to purchase up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the Series A-1 shares of stock of TELECOM and may file a petition to cancel the registration of such shares with Mexicos National Securities Registry (RNV Nacional de Valores) (RNV) and their registration for trading on the BMV, subject to the consent of at least 95% (ninety five percent) of TELECOMs shareholders. Contingent upon the outcome of the Offer, following the consummation thereof and subject to the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in the applicable laws to ensure the protection of the publics interests, and the approval of the requisite corporate actions, AMX intends to file with the CNBV a petition to cancel the registration of the Series A-1TELECOM Shares with the RNV and the BMV, so that such shares will no longer trade therein. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the applicable laws to obtain the cancellation of the registration of the Series A-1 TELECOM Shares, if a petition to obtain such cancellation is filed with and approved by the CNBV, AMX will establish a trust or conduct a subsequent offer in accordance with the applicable laws. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE TO THE EFFECT THAT EITHER SUCH ACTION WILL BE TAKEN OR, IF SO, AS TO THE DATE THEREOF. For additional information, see Section 17 of this Disclosure Statement, Maintenance or Cancellation of Registration.
Tax Considerations: The sale of the Series A-1 shares of stock of TELECOM to AMX, and the concurrent subscription of the Series L shares of stock of AMX, are subject to the provisions contained in Articles 60, 109(XXVI) and 190 of Mexicos Income Tax Law and other applicable tax laws. In addition, the reference price may vary for those shareholders who may secure the resolution referred to in Article 26 of Mexicos Income Tax Law. The summary of tax considerations included in this Disclosure Statement does not purport to contain a complete or detailed description of the Mexican tax provisions applicable to TELECOMs shareholders. In addition, such summary may not be applicable to certain shareholders in light of their particular circumstances. Accordingly, TELECOMs 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.
Prospective Participants: The Offer is extensive to all holders of TELECOMs Series A-1 shares as of May [], 2010, the last day of the Offering Period. Section 5(k) of this Disclosure Statement, The OfferExchange Procedure, sets forth the procedure in accordance with which the holders of TELINTs Series AA shares will be able to participate in the Offer.
Use of Proceeds: Not applicable. AMX will not receive any of the proceeds of the Offer and will allocate such proceeds to purchase 100% (one hundred percent) of the outstanding shares of stock of TELECOM as of the date hereof.
Depositary: Indeval.
Over-allotment Options: None.
Other Transactions: Concurrently with the Offer, AMX intends to commence a tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding Series A shares of common stock and Series L limited-voting shares, no par value, issued in registered form, of TELMEX Internacional, S.A.B. de C.V., in exchange for certain AMX Shares, based upon an exchange ratio of 0.373 AMX Shares or Ps.11.66 in cash per share of TELMEX Internacional, S.A.B. de C.V. tendered in connection with such offer. Such offer is conditioned upon the successful acquisition by AMX of at least 51% (fifty one percent) of TELECOMs shares in connection with the Offer; provided, that AMX will only invoke such condition upon TELECOMs 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 TELECOMs shareholders.
AMX Shares: The shares being offered by AMX in exchange for the TELECOM Shares in connection with the Offer consist of Series L limited-voting shares of the capital stock AMX. Accordingly, holders of AMXs Series L shares will not have the same rights as holders of other series of stock of AMX and may be deemed to be at disadvantage.

Dated April 29, 2010
In addition, the Offer may be extended by resolution of the CNBV pursuant to the last paragraph of Article 101 of the LMV. Any shareholder who may have accepted the Offer and tendered his/shares will be entitled to withdraw such acceptance if the Offer is extended for any reason beyond 4:00 p.m., Mexico City time, of the last day of any such extension. All extensions will be announced through the BMVs EMISNET system and through publication in a national newspaper.
O. | How will I be notified of any extension? |

P. | Is AMX paying any premium above market price? |

For additional information, see Section 5(e) of this Disclosure Statement, The OfferPurchase Price and Basis for the Determination Thereof.
In addition, the payment of any controlling premium would be in violation of the applicable Mexican laws as currently in effect, and 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 that it will not make any payment other than the consideration described in this Disclosure Statement, 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.

Based upon Santanders opinion as independent expert advisor engaged by TELECOMs Board of Directors, and the opinion of the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee, both to the effect that the exchange ratio offered by AMX in connection with the Offer is justified from a financial standpoint and, accordingly, is fair to TELECOMs shareholders, the Board of Directors determined that such financial ratio is reasonable from a financial standpoint.

Preliminary Disclosure Statement

Z. | Will TELECOM remain a public company following the consummation of the Offer? |

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 publics interests, and the approval of the requisite corporate actions, AMX intends to file with the CNBV a petition to cancel the registration of the TELECOM Shares with the RNV and the BMV, so that such shares will no longer trade therein.
If upon consummation of the Offer there remain any publicly-held TELECOM Shares, one or more trusts pursuant to Article 108(I)(c) of the LMV may be established.
In any event, AMX will observe all applicable legal provisions to ensure the protection of the publics interests and the market generally, as required by the LMV.
AMX cannot determine at this time whether the TELECOM 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 sections 17 and 19 of this Disclosure Statement, Maintenance or Cancellation of the Registration and Trust for the Acquisition of Shares Subsequent to the Cancellation of the Registration, respectively.
AA. | How has the market price of the TELECOM Shares performed recently? |
On January 13, 2010, the last full trading day prior to the public disclosure of AMXs intent to conduct the Offer, the closing price of the TELECOM Shares on the BMV was Ps.62.73 per share, and the closing price of AMXs Series L shares was Ps.31.79 per share. For additional information, see Section 7, Market Information, of this Disclosure Statement.

Preliminary Disclosure Statement
Dated April 29, 2010
DD. | Has TELECOMs Board of Directors issued any opinion in connection with the Offer? |
As disclosed by TELECOM on March 19, 2010, based upon Santanders opinion as independent expert advisor to TELECOMs Board of Directors, and the opinion of TELECOMs Audit and Corporate Practices Committee, both to the effect that the exchange ratio offered by AMX in connection with the Offer is justified from a financial standpoint and, accordingly, is fair to TELECOMs shareholders, TELECOMs Board of Directors determined that such financial ratio is fair from a financial standpoint.
In addition, pursuant to Article 101 of the LMV, all members of TELECOMs Board of Directors and its Chief Executive Officer have informed AMX that they and their related parties intend to tender their TELECOM Shares in connection with the Offer. For additional information, see Section 18 of this Disclosure Statement, Opinions of the Board of Directors and the Independent Experts.
EE. | Should I participate in the Offer, or would I be better off holding on to my TELECOM Shares? |
Each investor must make his/her own decision as to how to his/her TELECOM Shares in light of his/her particular situation and publicly available information.
FF. | Will TELECOM create a trust to subsequently purchase any TELECOM Shares not acquired in connection with the Offer? |
As announced by AMX, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable requirements AMX intends to cancel the registration of the TELECOM Shares and the TELINT Shares with the RNV. Such cancellation is subordinated to the primary purpose of the Offer and the TELINT Offer, which is for AMX to acquire up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the outstanding shares of TELECOM and TELINT. 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.
The above, on the understanding that unless otherwise approved by the CNBV, if the cancellation of the registration of the TELECOM Shares is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of 95% (ninety five percent) of the TELECOM Shares, but the other requirements set forth in Article 8 of the General Rules are not satisfied, including the requirement to the effect that the purchase price payable in respect of the remaining TELECOM Shares be less than 300,000 UDIs, TELECOM would be required to establish a trust to purchase such shares in accordance with the applicable law.
The creation of the Trust (as such term is defined in this Disclosure Statement) referred to in Article 108(I)(c) of the LMV and Section 19 of this Disclosure Statement, Trust for the Acquisition of Shares Subsequent to the Cancellation of the Registration, and the transfer thereto of a number of Series L shares of AMX sufficient to exchange any TELECOM Shares not purchased by AMX in connection with the Offer, is contingent upon, among other things, the outcome of the Offer. Accordingly, AMX cannot guarantee that such a trust will be established. For additional information, see sections 17 and 19 of this Disclosure Statement, Maintenance or Cancellation of Registration and Trust for the Acquisition of Shares Subsequent to the Cancellation of the Registration, respectively.
GG. | If a trust is established, would the exchange ratio remain the same as in the Offer? |
Yes. If the Trust is established, AMX will transfer thereto a number of Series L shares sufficient to acquire the TELECOM shares, based upon the same exchange ratio used in connection with the Offer, or 2.0474 Series L shares of AMX for each TELECOM share.

HH. | What consequences will I suffer if I forget or decide not to participate in the Offer, or if my Custodian does not transfer my TELECOM Shares to the Global Account prior to the Expiration Date? |
You will retain your TELECOM Shares. The market for the TELECOM 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.
II. | What are the tax implications of the sale of my TELECOM Shares in connection with the Offer? |
The sale of the TELECOM shares to AMX and the concurrent subscription of the Series L shares of stock of AMX, are subject to the provisions contained in Articles 60, 109(XXVI) and 190 of Mexicos Income Tax Law and other applicable tax laws. The summary tax considerations included in this Disclosure Statement does not purport to contain a complete or detailed description of the Mexican tax provisions applicable to TELECOMs shareholders. In addition, such summary may not be applicable to certain shareholders in light of their particular circumstances. For additional information, see Section 20 of this Disclosure Statement, Tax Considerations.
TELECOMs 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.

4. | RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AMX AND THE ISSUER |
AMX was organized in September 2000, as a result of a spin-off of TELMEX.
According to TELECOMs Annual Report, as of December 31, 2008, TELECOM held (i) 10,750 million shares of TELMEX, representing 57.93% of TELMEXs total capital or 71.48% of its voting capital, and (ii) 10,877.6 million shares of TELINT, representing 59.36% of TELINTs total capital or 71.42% or its voting capital.
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 stock ownership reports filed with the SEC, TELMEX, TELINT and AMX may for certain purposes be deemed to be under common control.
TELMEX provides fixed-line telephony services throughout Mexico. TELINT provides voice, data and Internet services in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador, pay cable and satellite TV in some of those countries, and print and Internet-based yellow-page directory services in Mexico, the United States, Argentina and Peru.
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 AMXs 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 the relations between EMBRATEL (a TELINT subsidiary engaged in the provision of fixed-line telephony services) and AMXs subsidiaries in Brazil. Many of these contracts are also subject to telecommunications industry-specific laws. The terms of these contracts are similar to those governing each such companys relations with unrelated third parties. All these relations are of material significance to AMXs financial performance.
In addition, AMX and TELMEX have entered into various telecommunications joint ventures.
For additional information concerning AMXs and TELECOMs operations, see (i) Section 7 of AMXs Annual Report, Principal Shareholders and Related Party Transactions, and (ii) Section 4(b) of TELECOMs Annual Report, ManagementRelated Party Transactions and Conflicts of Interests.
As of the date hereof, AMX does not have any equity interest in TELECOM.
AMX and TELECOM have certain common directors, including (i) Mr. Patrick Slim Domit, who is the Chairman of AMXs Board of Directors and a member of its Executive Committee, a member of TELECOMs Board of Directors, and an alternate director of TELMEX, and (ii) Mr. Daniel Hajj Aboumrad, who is a director, the Chief Executive Officer, a member of the Executive Committee and a member of the Operating Committee for Puerto Rico and the U.S. at AMX, and an alternate director of TELECOM.
AMX and TELECOM have not entered into any agreement or arrangement in connection with the Offer. However, on January 13, 2010, AMX informed TELECOMs Board of Directors of its decision to commence the procedure towards the completion of the Offer and requested TELECOMs authorization in connection therewith pursuant to Article Thirteen of TELECOMs bylaws.
In addition, on January 14, 2010, the secretary of TELECOMs Board of Directors informed AMX that all of TELECOMs directors had acknowledge receipt of AMXs 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 Thirteen of TELECOMs bylaws.

Preliminary Disclosure Statement
Dated April 29, 2010
b. | Number and Characteristics of the Shares to be Purchased |
Up to 3,481,765,200 Series A-1 full-voting shares, no par value, issued in registered form, representing 100% (one hundred percent) of TELECOMs outstanding capital, which are included in the Offer, and 7,128,566,070 Series L treasury shares of AMX, which will be subscribed concurrently with the purchase of the TELECOM Shares based upon an exchange ratio of 2.0474 Series L AMX Shares for each Series A-1 TELECOM Share.

The Offer does not include an over-allotment option.
e. | Purchase Price and Basis for its Determination |
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 TELECOM, subject to the condition that TELECOMs shareholders will use the proceeds thereof to concurrently purchase and subscribe Series L shares of AMX. Accordingly, this purchase and exchange Offer constitutes a single transaction that may only be accepted in its entirety.
The exchange ratio will be 2.0474:1 and, as a result, TELECOMs shareholders may subscribe up to 2.0474 Series L AMX Shares in exchange for each TELECOM Share tendered by them.
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 AMXs 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 TELINT 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 price 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 Offer was determined based upon the value of TELECOMs primary assets, which consist of the TMX Shares and the TELINT Shares, and its net debt, as of December 31, 2009.

[THIS ENGLISH TRANSLATION IS PROVIDED FOR CONVENIENCE PURPOSES ONLY. IN THE EVENT OF CONFLICT BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND SPANISH VERSIONS OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, THE SPANISH VERSION WILL PREVAIL.]
Preliminary Disclosure Statement
Dated April 29, 2010
The aggregate reference price is approximately Ps.222,839,357,592, which assumes a reference price of Ps.64.0018337802 per TELECOM Share and a subscription price of Ps.31.2600536193 per AMX Share, based upon the exchange ratio of 2.0474 AMX Shares per TELECOM Share in connection with the Offer. The reference price per TELECOM Share, taking into consideration their exchange price and the exchange ratio, was determined as follows:
Purchase Price in the TELINT Offer = Ps.11.66
divided by
Exchange ratio in the TELINT Offer = 0.373
equals
AMX reference price = Ps.31.2600536193
multiplied by
Exchange ratio in the Offer = 2.0474
equals
Reference price for the TELECOM Shares = Ps.64.0018337802
Premium
There is no premium payable on either the purchase price of the TELECOM 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.
AMX represents under penalty of perjury that it will not make any payment other than the consideration described in this Disclosure Statement, 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 TELECOM Shares and the TELINT 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, TELINTs 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 BMVs 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 TELINT 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 TELINT Offer fully ensures the protection of the publics interest; |

[THIS ENGLISH TRANSLATION IS PROVIDED FOR CONVENIENCE PURPOSES ONLY. IN THE EVENT OF CONFLICT BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND SPANISH VERSIONS OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, THE SPANISH VERSION WILL PREVAIL.]
Preliminary Disclosure Statement
Dated April 29, 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, TELECOM and TELINT. The Purchase Price was approved by the boards of directors of TELECOM and TELINT based upon a recommendation issued by their respective audit and corporate governance committees in reliance upon an independent expert opinion as to the fairness of the Purchase Price from a financial standpoint; |
| Confirmation: The exchange ratio will be ratified by TELECOMs Board of Directors and Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, and by TELECOMs shareholders upon approval of the cancellation of the registration of the TELECOM 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 AMXs Board of Directors, are both lower than the exchange ratio. In addition, the Purchase Price has been approved as described in Corporate Approvals above; |
| Uncertainty: The commencement of the exclusion offer, as the case may be, is uncertain. See Section 17 of this Disclosure Statement, Maintenance or Cancellation of the Registration. |
As announced by AMX, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable requirements AMX intends to cancel the registration of the TELECOM Shares and the TELINT Shares with the RNV. Such cancellation is subordinated to the primary purpose of the Offer and the TELINT Offer, which is for AMX to acquire up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the outstanding shares of TELECOM and TELINT. 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.
The above, on the understanding that unless otherwise approved by the CNBV, 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 other requirements set forth in Article 8 of the General Rules are not satisfied, including the requirement to the effect that the purchase price payable in respect of the remaining TELINT Shares be less than 300,000 UDIs, TELINT would be required to establish a trust to purchase such shares in accordance with the applicable law.
By way of example, if the cancellation of the registration of the TELECOM Shares is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of 95% (ninety five percent) of the TELECOM Shares but the purchase price payable in respect of the remaining TELECOM Shares is less than 300,000 UDIs, TELECOM would be required to establish a trust to purchase such shares in accordance with the applicable law.

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 TELECOMs directors the possibility of combining the operations of AMX, TELECOM and TELINT, in lieu of a more limited merger or combination of some of AMXs and TELINTs 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 AMXs and TELINTs 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 operation, based upon an exchange ratio that would take into consideration the relative market prices of each of AMXs and TELINTs 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 TELECOMs 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 AMXs Board of Directors in accordance with Mexican applicable procedures. 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 AMXs 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 TELINTs and AMXs principal shareholders, to inform such shareholder of AMXs 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 companys 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 TELECOMs and TELINTs 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.

Over the course of the following week, AMXs Executive Director of Administration and Finance, Mr. Carlos García Moreno, and Mr. Cantú, held numerous telephone conferences and meetings with AMXs outside counsel and tax advisors, and with its financial advisor, Grupo Financiero Inbursa, S.A.B. de C.V. They further met and held several discussions with various representatives of AT&T, Inc., regarding the proposed combination.
The meeting of the Board of Directors took place as scheduled, on January 13. In attendance thereat were Messrs. García Moreno, Cantú Jiménez, as well as various representatives of Grupo Financiero Inbursa, S.A.B. de C.V., its financial advisor. Mr. Hajj submitted the proposed combination to the Board of Directors for its approval, which moved to authorize the companys executive officers to initiate the processes leading to the possible completion of 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 TELECOMs and TELINTs 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 TELINTs bylaws and Article Thirteen of TELECOMs 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 AMXs Board of Directors |
As mentioned in subsection (a) above, on January 13, 2010, the members of AMXs 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:

11. | PURPOSE AND FUTURE PLANS |
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 TELECOMs participating shareholders to subscribe AMX Shares.
Consolidation of Operations and Creation of Synergies between AMX and TELINT
The purpose of the Offer and the TELINT Offer is for AMX to acquire, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the outstanding shares of stock of TELECOM and TELINT, so as to integrate AMXs wireless communication services with TELINTs 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 TELINT 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 TELINT 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 any disposition, liquidation or restructuring of the business assets of either TELECOM or TELINT. 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 TELINT 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 TELINT 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. AMXs 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.
Contingent upon the outcome of the Offer and the TELINT Offer, and upon the development of AMXs 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.
AMX may decide to change the capital structure and financing practices of TELINT and its 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.
In addition, following the consummation of the Offer and the TELINT Offer, AMX expects to review TELINTs 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.
AMX does not anticipate making any material change in TELINTs 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 TELINTs 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 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 AMXs group.
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.
In addition, following the consummation of the 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 TELECOMs past dividend and share repurchase practices and its capitalization and leverage ratios. AMX may also decide to modify TELECOMS capital structure and financing practices, although it currently has no specific plans to that effect.
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 Disclosure Statement, Maintenance or Cancellation of the Registration.

Plans with Respect to TELMEX
Although the acquisition of TELECOM will result in AMX holding an indirect 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 and/or the TELINT Offer, to supply financing to TELINT, TELECOM and TELMEX or their respective subsidiaries.

Preliminary Disclosure Statement

14. | CONSEQUENCES OF THE OFFER |
The consummation of the Offer will cause the number of TELECOM shareholders to decrease significantly and, as a result, there may be no active secondary market for the TELECOM Shares after the Expiration Date.
Until such time as the registration of the TELECOM Shares with the RNV and the BMV shall have been cancelled, TELECOM 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.
As announced by AMX, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable requirements AMX intends to cancel the registration of the TELECOM Shares and the TELINT Shares with the RNV. Such cancellation is subordinated to the primary purpose of the Offer and the TELINT Offer, which is for AMX to acquire up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the outstanding shares of TELECOM and TELINT. 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.
As described in sections 17 and 19 of this Disclosure Statement, Maintenance or Cancellation of the Registration and Trust for the Acquisition of Shares Subsequent to the Cancellation of the Registration, respectively, if upon completion of the Offer the CNBV approves the cancellation of the TELECOM Shares with the RNV and the BMV, but there are still any TELECOM 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 TELECOM Shares with the RNV, a number of Series L AMX Shares sufficient to enable the holders of any TELECOM Shares not tendered in connection with the Offer, to subscribe such Series L shares based upon the same exchange ratio as in the Offer. Any TELECOM shareholder that elects not to tender his/her TELECOM 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 TELECOM 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 publics interests and the market generally, as required by the LMV.
The Series L of AMX to be subscribed by the holders of the TELECOM 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 Disclosure Statement, Risk Factors and Rights of the Shareholders, respectively.
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.

Preliminary Disclosure Statement

15. | RISK FACTORS |
The Offer involves various material risks and consequences. As a result, TELECOMs 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 TELECOM Shares based upon an exchange ratio of 2.0474:1 and, as a result, TELECOMs shareholders will receive 2.0474 Series L shares of AMX for each TELECOM Share tendered by them in connection with the Offer. We 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 TELECOM Shares may vary significantly between the date of this Disclosure Statement and throughout the Offering Period.
The liquidity of any TELECOM 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 TELECOM in connection with the Offer, and to promote the cancellation of the registration of the TELECOM Shares with the RNV and the BMV. The market for any remaining TELECOM 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 TELECOM Shares in connection with the Offer, you will remain a minority shareholder of TELECOM and there may be no liquid marked for the TELECOM Shares
If you do not tender your TELECOM Shares in connection with the Offer, upon completion of the Offer you will become a minority shareholder in TELECOM 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 TELECOM 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 TELECOM Shares, or to establish a trust for the acquisition of any publicly held TELECOM Shares. However, AMX cannot predict whether the conditions that would trigger such obligation will occur. In addition, upon completion of the Offer the market for the TELECOM Shares may become less liquid. As a result, the price for any future transfer of TELECOM 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 TELECOM 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 publics 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 TELECOM 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 TELECOM Shares would be substantially lower than the price offered in connection with the Offer.

[THIS ENGLISH TRANSLATION IS PROVIDED FOR CONVENIENCE PURPOSES ONLY. IN THE EVENT OF CONFLICT BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND SPANISH VERSIONS OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, THE SPANISH VERSION WILL PREVAIL.]
Preliminary Disclosure Statement
Dated April 29, 2010
As announced by AMX, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable requirements AMX intends to cancel the registration of the TELECOM Shares and the TELINT Shares with the RNV. Such cancellation is subordinated to the primary purpose of the Offer and the TELINT Offer, which is for AMX to acquire up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the outstanding shares of TELECOM and TELINT. 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.
AMXs failure to acquire a substantial majority of the outstanding capital stock of TELECOM could affect its ability to complete any post-closing changes 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 TELECOM Shares with the RNV and to delist such shares on the BMV if at least 95% (ninety five percent) of the holders of TELECOM 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 TELECOM Shares. The existence of minority shareholders at TELECOM and the non-cancellation of the registration of the TELECOM Shares with the RNV and the fact that TELECOM 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 TELECOM and its 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 TELECOM boards of directors, and may be subject to separate reporting requirements with the BMV. In addition, all transactions between AMX and TELECOM would be required under Mexican law to be on an arms length basis, which may limit AMXs 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 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 AMXs ability to achieve the expected amount of cost synergies and revenue benefits after the Offer is completed.
If you do not tender your TELECOM Shares in connection with the Offer, you may in the future cease to receive dividend payments from TELECOM
TELECOM paid dividends in each of 2007, 2008 y 2009. Following the consummation of the Offer, TELECOM could or AMX could cause TELECOM 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 TELECOM or its subsidiaries may enter into from time to time. As a result, you should not assume that TELECOM will continue to pay dividends on the TELECOM Shares if you elect not to tender your TELECOM Shares in connection with the Offer.
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

[THIS ENGLISH TRANSLATION IS PROVIDED FOR CONVENIENCE PURPOSES ONLY. IN THE EVENT OF CONFLICT BETWEEN THE ENGLISH AND SPANISH VERSIONS OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, THE SPANISH VERSION WILL PREVAIL.]
Preliminary Disclosure Statement
Dated April 29, 2010
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, AMXs and TELINTs 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 reorganization 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.
Holders of AMX L Shares are not permitted to vote except on such limited matters as, 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 AMXs shares with the BMV, and any other matter affecting the rights of the holders of the AMX L Shares. Accordingly, those persons who may acquire Series L shares of AMX in connection with the Offer will have different rights as with respect to the holders of shares of other series of stock of AMX.
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 Disclosure Statement, Rights of the Shareholders.
AMXs 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.

Preliminary Disclosure Statement
Dated April 29, 2010
The fact that the AMX Shares may trade at a discount over book value is separate and different from the risk that AMXs 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 AMXs 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 23.2(h) of this Disclosure Statement, The OfferDilution and Exhibit 25(k) hereto, which contains AMXs audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009.

a. | The TELECOM Shares |
According to TELECOMs Annual Report, TELECOMs capital is represented by Series A-1 shares of common stock, no par value, issued in registered form, representing to the minimum fixed portion of such capital.

As of the date hereof, TELECOM has not issued any shares on account of the variable portion of its capital.

In the event of any such appointment, such shareholder or group of shareholders will not be entitled to vote on the election of the directors and alternates designated by the majority. The directors appointed by the minority shareholders may be removed by the majority only if all of the remaining directors are concurrently removed, unless such removal is for cause under the LMV.
The TELECOM Shares carry equal rights to participate in any dividend or other distribution, including upon TELECOMs liquidation. Partly paid shares will participate in any such distribution only if the balance outstanding thereon is paid as of the date of such distribution or, otherwise, to the extent of or in proportion to the amount paid as of such date.
No TELECOM Shares confer to their holders any right to vote during the companys general shareholders meetings, other than as described above. In addition, to the best of the Issuers knowledge, there is no agreement in place that could delay, prevent, differ or impose additional requirements for a change in TELECOMs control. The corporate rights conferred to their holders by the TELECOM Shares are not limited by reason of the existence of any trust or other arrangement in effect as of the date hereof.
b. | The AMX Shares |
As of the date hereof, AMXs capital stock comprises Series AA shares, Series A shares, and Series L shares. All of the outstanding shares of AMX are fully subscribed and paid-in.

Each Series AA and Series A share may be exchanged, at the election of its holder, for one Series L share; provided, that the Series AA shares may not represent at any time less than 20% of AMXs capital or less than 51% of the aggregate number of Series AA and Series A shares.
Absent the appointment of a director by the minority shareholders, the holders of the Series L shares, voting as a class pursuant to a resolution adopted at a special shareholders meeting convened to such effect, will be entitled to appoint two members of the Board of Directors of AMX and two alternates; provided, that the aggregate number of directors appointed by the minority shareholders and the holders of the Series L shares, as a class, may in no event exceed the aggregate percentage of the capital stock represented by the Series L shares, divided by 10.

None. | Upon liquidation, AMX L Shares are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to: (i) accrued but unpaid AMX L Share preferred dividends, plus (ii) Ps. 0.00833 per share (representing the capital attributable to AMX L Shares as set forth in AMXs bylaws) before any other distribution is made.
Following payment in full of any such amount, holders of AMX AA Shares and AMX A Shares are entitled to receive, if available, an amount per share equal to the liquidation preference paid per AMX L Shares. Following payment in full of the foregoing amounts, all shareholders share equally, on a per share basis, any remaining amounts payable in respect of AMXs capital stock. | |
Limitations on Share Ownership with Respect to non-Mexican Investors | ||
Pursuant to TELECOMs bylaws, non-Mexican investors and Mexican entities the bylaws of which allow for the participation therein of non-Mexican investors, are not permitted to own any of TELECOMs capital stock. | On March 17, 2010, AMXs shareholders approved an amendment to the companys nationality, to preclude the participation of non-Mexicans therein. The AMX L Shares are neutral shares and, as such, do not constitute a foreign investment under Mexican law | |
Limitations on Share Ownership | ||
None. | AMX L Shares and AMX A Shares together cannot represent more than 80% of AMXS capital stock. 20% of AMSs capital stock must consist of AMX AA Shares. | |
Capital Increases and Preemptive Rights | ||

At the extraordinary shareholders meeting held March 17, 2010, AMXs shareholders approved an amendment to AMXs bylaws so as to include therein a provision precluding the participation of non-Mexican investors in AMX. The inclusion of such provision in AMXs bylaws is a prerequisite for the consummation of the Offer and is necessary to comply with the provisions contained in TELECOMs and TELMEXs bylaws. According to such provision, the ownership of AMXs shares is reserved to Mexican investors within the meaning of the Foreign Investment Law. However, such provision is not applicable to AMXs Series L shares, and an interim provision adopted concurrently therewith does not impose ownership restrictions upon the Series A shares issued prior to the aforementioned amendment.

17. | MAINTENANCE OR CANCELLATION OF THE REGISTRATION |
As announced by AMX, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable requirements AMX intends to cancel the registration of the TELECOM Shares and the TELINT Shares with the RNV. Such cancellation is subordinated to the primary purpose of the Offer and the TELINT Offer, which is for AMX to acquire up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the outstanding shares of TELECOM and TELINT. 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.
Assuming that TELECOMs shareholders will elect to tender their shares in connection with the Offer, AMX intends purchase up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the TELECOM 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 TELECOMs 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 publics interests, and the approval of the requisite corporate actions, AMX intends to file with the CNBV a petition to cancel the registration of the TELECOM Shares and 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, Trust for the Acquisition of Shares Subsequent to the Cancellation of the Registration, if after the completion of the Offer the CNBV approves the cancellation of the TELECOM Shares with the RNV and the BMV, but there are still any TELECOM 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 TELECOM Shares with the RNV, a number of Series L AMX Shares sufficient to enable the holders of any TELECOM Shares not tendered in connection with the Offer, to subscribe such Series L shares based upon the same exchange ratio as in the Offer. Any TELECOM shareholder that elects not to tender his/her TELECOM 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 TELECOM 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 publics interests and the market generally, as required by the LMV.
In addition, the CNBV could resolve not to authorize the cancellation of the registration of the TELECOM Shares notwithstanding that such cancellation may have been approved by TELECOMs shareholders. In either case, the TELECOM 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 CNBVs 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 TELECOMs 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 publics interests, and the approval of all the requisite corporate actions, and assuming that AMX will elect to cancel the registration of the TELECOM Shares and 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 TELECOMs shareholders, AMX will immediately apply for the cancellation of the TELECOM Shares with the RNV and the BMV. The requisite percentage would be at least 95% of the outstanding TELECOM Shares. However, if the holders of 95% (ninety five percent) or more of the outstanding TELECOM Shares approve such cancellation but TELECOM does not meet all the other requirements set forth in Article 8 of the General Rules, unless authorized by the CNBV, 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.
B. | Deferred Cancellation. |
If warranted by the percentage of shares publicly held after the Offer, in the CNBVs 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 TELECOM Shares and/or the TELINT Shares, as the case may be, 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 TELECOM 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 TELECOMs 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 TELECOMs 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 TELECOM 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 TELECOM Shares it will acquire in connection with the Offer; |

Preliminary Disclosure Statement
Dated April 29, 2010
| 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 TELECOM 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 TELECOM Shares with the RNV following any subsequent offer. Any decision to such effect will be contingent upon the number of TELECOM Shares acquired by AMX; and |
| If the TELECOM 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 20 of this Disclosure Statement, Tax Considerations. |
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.

18. | OPINIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE INDEPENDENT EXPERTS |
a. | Opinion of TELECOMs Board of Directors |
As disclosed by TELECOM on March 19, 2010, pursuant to Article 101 of the LMV its Board of Directors, taking into consideration Santanders independent expert opinion and the opinion of TELECOMs Audit and Corporate Governance Committee, both to the effect that the exchange ratio offered by AMX in connection with the Offer is justified from a financial standpoint and, accordingly, is fair to TELECOMs shareholders, determined that the exchange ratio for purposes of the Offer is fair from a financial standpoint.
In addition, pursuant to Article 101 of the LMV, all members of TELECOMs Board of Directors holding TELECOM Shares, and TELECOMs Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jaime Chico Pardo, 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.
Finally, the members of TELECOMs 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, Daniel Hajj Aboumrad, Carlos Slim Domit, Marco Antonio Slim Domit, Patrick Slim Domit, and Héctor Slim Seade, who are either directors or alternate directors of TELECOM, 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.
b. | Opinion of the Independent Expert Retained by TELECOM |
As disclosed by TELECOM on March 19, 2010, TELECOMs Audit and Corporate Governance Committee confirmed Santanders appointment as independent expert advisor engaged by TELECOMs Board of Directors for purposes of the issuance of an opinion as to the financial fairness of the exchange ratio 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 25(b), Santander advised TELECOMs Board of Directors that the exchange ratio offered to TELECOMs shareholders is fair from a financial standpoint. Recipients of this Disclosure Statement are advised to review Exhibit 25(b) hereto to fully understand such opinion, including the facts upon which it is based and any qualifications thereto.
c. | Opinion of the Financial Advisor and Independent Expert Retained by AMX for Mexican Law Purposes |
On January 13, 2010, AMXs 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, AMXs 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 AMXs 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 AMXs Board of Directors, in accordance with, and for purposes of, Mexican law) to issue for the information of AMXs Board of Directors its opinion, from a financial standpoint, as to the financial fairness of the consideration, in cash or in AMX Shares, offered by AMX to TELINTs shareholders in connection with the Offer. On March 9, 2010, Credit Suisse issued its opinion to AMX 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 of in AMX Shares offered to TELINTs shareholders is reasonable from a financial standpoint to AMX. The opinion was issued solely for the information of AMXs Board of Directors for purposes of evaluating the Offer from a financial standpoint 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.

19. | TRUST FOR THE ACQUISITION OF SHARES SUBSEQUENT TO THE CANCELLATION OF THE REGISTRATION |
Assuming that TELECOMs shareholders will elect to tender their shares in connection with the Offer, AMX intends purchase up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the TELECOM 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 TELECOMs 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 publics interests, and the approval of the requisite corporate actions, upon consummation of the Offer AMX intends to file with the CNBV a petition to cancel the registration of the TELECOM Shares with the RNV and the BMV, so that such shares will no longer trade therein.
Pursuant to Article 108(I)(c) and other applicable provisions, upon cancellation of the registration of the TELECOM Shares the Issuer will establish the Trust and transfer thereto, for a period of not less than six (6) months from the date of cancellation of the registration of the TELECOM Shares with the RNV, a number of Series L AMX Shares sufficient to enable the holders of any TELECOM Shares not tendered in connection with the Offer, to subscribe such Series L shares based upon the same exchange ratio as in the Offer. Any TELECOM shareholder that elects not to tender his/her TELECOM 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 TELECOM Shares will lose their liquidity, which will in turn have a material adverse effect their market price.
As announced by AMX, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable requirements AMX intends to cancel the registration of the TELECOM Shares and the TELINT Shares with the RNV. Such cancellation is subordinated to the primary purpose of the Offer and the TELINT Offer, which is for AMX to acquire up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the outstanding shares of TELECOM and TELINT. 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.

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 TELECOMs 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 Disclosure Statement.
The following considerations may not be applicable to all shareholders alike. Accordingly, TELECOMs 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 TELECOM shares in connection with the Offer.
a. | Transfer of the TELECOM Shares |
Those holders of TELECOM 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 Mexicos Income Tax Law.
The transfer of the TELECOM 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 TELECOM 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.

Preliminary Disclosure Statement
Dated April 29, 2010
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.
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 TELECOM 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 TELECOM 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 TELECOM 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 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 TELECOM 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 Disclosure Statement.
c. | Transfer of Unregistered Securities |
Assuming that TELECOMs shareholders will elect to tender their shares in connection with the Offer, AMX intends purchase up to 100% (one hundred percent) of the TELECOM 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 TELECOMs shareholders. Contingent upon the outcome of the Offer

None of the aforementioned persons holds a direct or indirect interest in AMX.
h. | Dilution |
Included below are the amount of the dilution effect and percentage of share subscription, calculated in accordance with the requirements set forth in the General Rules, resulting from the difference between the theoretical subscription price and the per share book value, taking into consideration AMXs financial statements as of December 31, 2009. Also included are the effect in terms of amount and percentage for current shareholders that will not participate in the Offer, and the dilutive effect in gross revenues and book value per share resulting from increase in the number of outstanding shares.
As of December 31, 2009, the AMX per share book value was Ps.5.54 per share. The book value per AMX Share represents the accounting value of AMXs total assets less its total liabilities, divided by AMXs aggregate outstanding shares as of the date of calculation. The pro forma book value per AMX Share as of December 31, 2009, will increase by Ps1.69 per AMX Share (without giving effect to the fees and expenses payable in connection with the Offer), the later:
| after giving effect to the subscription of shares at the reference value in connection with the Offer; and |
| after giving effect to the subscription of shares at the reference value in connection with the Offer, assuming all shareholders decide to participate and not receive cash. |
This amount represents for AMX existing shareholders an immediate theoretical increase of Ps.1.69 in per share book value and for new investors who subscribe at the reference value in the TELECOM and TELINT Offers this will represent an immediate theoretical dilution of Ps.24.03 in the investment value without considering the current book value for both TELECOM and TELINT.

* | Based upon the number of shares outstanding as of the date hereof. |
As of December 31, 2009, AMX per share net income was Ps.2.40. Once the Offers are consummated and assuming (i) all TELINT shareholders participate in the Offer and all receive AMX shares in lieu of cash and (ii) all TELECOM shareholders participate in the TELECOM Offer, the new AMX per share income at the same date would have been Ps.1.84, representing a Ps.0.56 dilution for current AMX shareholders.
AMX officers and members of its Board of Directors have not purchase shares out of the market or offered to all shareholders in the past three years.
The information included in this section is illustrative, and once the Offers are consummated, it will be adjusted base on real variables.

The information required to be included under this caption is deemed incorporated herein by reference to Section 10, Additional InformationBylaws (pages 114 to 121), of AMXs Annual Report.

Board of Directors
América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V.
Lago Alberto No. 366
Colonia Anahuac, 11320
Mexico, Distrito Federal
Members of the Board:
You have asked us to advise you with respect to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (América Móvil) of the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) provided for in its proposed acquisition of Carso Global Telecom, S.A.B. de C.V. (Telecom and, such acquisition, the Transaction), a majority shareholder of Telmex Internacional, S.A.B. de C.V. (Telint). Subject to the terms and conditions more fully described in the Offer Information Documents (as defined below), América Móvil will commence an offer to exchange each outstanding Series A-1 full voting share, no par value (Telecom Shares), of the capital stock of Telecom for 2.0474 (the Exchange Ratio) Series L limited voting shares, no par value (América Móvil Shares), of the capital stock of América Móvil. It is our understanding that, concurrently with the commencement of the Transaction, América Móvil also will commence an exchange offer for all outstanding shares of the capital stock of Telint not already owned by Telecom.
In arriving at our opinion, we have reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to América Móvil, Telecom and the Transaction, including certain press releases and information statements publicly filed by América Móvil with respect to the Transaction (collectively, the Offer Information Documents). We also have reviewed certain other information relating to América Móvil and Telecom provided to or discussed with us by América Móvil and Telecom, including certain publicly available financial forecasts relating to América Móvil as adjusted and extrapolated per the guidance of the management of América Móvil (the América Móvil Public Forecasts) and certain publicly available financial forecasts relating to Telecom and its subsidiaries as adjusted and extrapolated per the guidance of the managements of América Móvil, Telecom and Telecoms subsidiaries (the Telecom Public Forecasts), and have met with the managements of América Móvil, Telecom and Telecoms subsidiaries to discuss the businesses and prospects of América Móvil and Telecom. We also have considered certain financial and stock market data of América Móvil and Telecom, and we have compared that data with similar data for other publicly held companies in businesses we deemed similar to those of América Móvil and Telecom. We also considered such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria which we deemed relevant.
In connection with our review, we have not independently verified any of the foregoing information and we have assumed and relied upon such information being complete and accurate in all material respects. As you are aware, we have been advised by the management of América Móvil that América Móvil was not provided with access to internal financial forecasts of Telecom and that there are no long-term internal financial
85
CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES (USA) LLC Eleven Madison Avenue Phone 212 325 2000 New York, NY 10010-3629 www.credit-suisse.com |
forecasts for América Móvil. Accordingly, at the direction of América Móvil and with your consent, we have utilized for purposes of our analyses the América Móvil Public Forecasts and Telecom Public Forecasts and have assumed that such forecasts represent reasonable estimates and judgments with respect to the future financial performance of América Móvil and Telecom, respectively, and that América Móvil and Telecom will perform substantially in accordance with such forecasts. We also have assumed, with your consent, that, in the course of obtaining any regulatory or third party consents, approvals or agreements in connection with the Transaction or any related transaction, no delay, limitation, restriction or condition will be imposed that would have an adverse effect on América Móvil, Telecom or the contemplated benefits of the Transaction and that the Transaction and related transactions will be consummated in accordance with their respective terms without waiver, modification or amendment of any material term, condition or agreement thereof. Representatives of América Móvil have advised us, and we further have assume, that the terms of the Transaction which will be set forth in certain offer documents to be filed by América Móvil in connection with the Transaction will conform in all material respects to the terms described to us and as set forth in the Offer Information Documents.
We have not been requested to make, and have not made, an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of América Móvil or Telecom, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluations or appraisals. In addition, we were not requested to, and we did not, participate in the structuring of the Transaction or any related transaction. Our opinion addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date hereof, to América Móvil of the Exchange Ratio provided for in the Transaction and does not address any other aspect or implication of the Transaction or any related transaction or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into in connection with the Transaction, any related transaction or otherwise, including, without limitation, the form or structure of the Transaction or the fairness of the amount or nature of, or any other aspect relating to, any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any party to the Transaction or any related transaction, or class of such person, relative to the Exchange Ratio or otherwise. The issuance of this opinion was approved by our authorized internal committee.
Our opinion is necessarily based upon information made available to us as of the date hereof and financial, economic, market and other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof and upon certain assumptions regarding such financial, economic, market and other conditions, which are currently subject to unusual volatility and which, if different than assumed, would have a material impact on our analyses. We are not expressing any opinion as to what the value of América Móvil Shares actually will be when issued to the holders of Telecom Shares pursuant to the Transaction or the prices at which América Móvil Shares or Telecom Shares will trade at any time. Our opinion does not address the relative merits of the Transaction or any related transaction as compared to alternative transactions or strategies that might be available to América Móvil, nor does it address the underlying business decision of América Móvil to proceed with the Transaction or any related transaction.
We have acted as financial advisor to América Móvil in connection with the Transaction and will receive a fee upon delivery of this opinion. In addition, América Móvil has agreed to indemnify us and certain related parties for certain liabilities and other items
86
CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES (USA) LLC Eleven Madison Avenue Phone 212 325 2000 New York, NY 10010-3629 www.credit-suisse.com |
arising out of or related to our engagement. We and our affiliates in the past have provided, currently are providing and in the future may provide investment banking and other financial services to América Móvil, Telecom and their respective affiliates, for which services we and our affiliates have received and would expect to receive compensation, including having acted as joint bookrunner in connection with certain note offerings of América Móvil and as joint bookrunner and structuring agent in connection with certain toll road and securitization transactions for an affiliate of América Móvil. We are a full service securities firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, we and our affiliates may acquire, hold or sell, for our and our affiliates own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of América Móvil, Telecom and any other company that may be involved in the Transaction or related transactions, as well as provide investment banking and other financial services to such companies.
It is understood that this letter is for the information of the Board of Directors of América Móvil (solely in its capacity as such) in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and does not constitute advice or recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act on any matter relating to the proposed Transaction or any related transaction.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to América Móvil.
Very truly yours,
CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES (USA) LLC

19 de Marzo de 2010
ESTRICTAMENTE PRIVADO Y CONFIDENCIAL

Carso Global Telecom, S.A.B. de C.V.
Insurgentes Sur 3500
Col. Peña Pobre Tlalpan
14060 México, D.F.
Estimados señores,
Hemos sido informados que América Móvil, S.A.B de C.V., una sociedad anónima bursátil consituida bajo las leyes de México (AMX) realizará una oferta pública de compra para adquirir todas las acciones en circulación representativas del capital social de Carso Global Telecom, S.A.B. de C.V., una sociedad anónima bursátil consituida bajo las leyes de México (CGT) (la Oferta de Compra).
De conformidad con los términos de la Oferta de Compra y con lo establecido en la información divulgada por AMX a través de la página de Internet de la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V. el 13 de enero de 2010 (la Información de la Oferta), AMX ofrecerá a cada accionista de CGT, 2.0474 (dos punto cero cuatro siete cuatro) acciones de AMX (las Acciones AMX) por cada acción de la que cada accionista sea propietario, representativa del capital social de CGT (cada una, una Acción, y cada tenedor de una Acción, un Accionista) (la Contraprestación).
El Consejo de Administración y el Comité de Auditoría de CGT han solicitado a Banco Santander (México), S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo Financiero Santander (Santander), su opinión sobre si la Contraprestación es razonable, desde un punto de vista financiero, para los Accionistas.
Para efectos de emitir nuestra opinión, Santander ha:
1. | Revisado cierta información pública de negocios y financiera disponible relacionada con CGT, incluyendo sus estados financieros auditadoes al cierre de los ejercicios 2007 y 2008, asi como la información financiera disponible al cierre del ejercicio 2009; |
2. | Rivisado cierta información pública de negocios y financiera disponible de Teléfonos de México, S.A. de C.V. (Telmex) y Telmex International, S.A.B. de C.V. (TII) y otras subsidiarias de CGT, incluyendo sus estados financieros auditados al cierre de los ejercicios 2007 y 2008, así como la información financiera disponible al cierre del ejercicio 2009; |
88
3. | Revisado cierta información pública de negocios y financiera disponible relacionada con AMX, incluyendo sus estados financieros auditados al cierre de los ejercicios en 2007 y 2008, asi como la información financiera disponible al cierre del ejercicio 2009; |
4. | Participado en discusiones con, y revisado información proporcionada por, funcionarios, consejeros, asesores y funcionarios de la alta dirección de CGT con respecto a los negocios de CGT; |
5. | Revisado cierta información histórica, información de operación y financiera de CGT y AMX; |
6. | Revisado los precios accionarios actuales e históricos y volumen de operaciones de las Acciones y de las acciones de AMX; |
7. | Revisado información pública con respecto a ciertas compañías que Santander considera son relevantes y comparables a CGT, TII, Telmex y AMX; |
8. | Revisado aquella información de la Oferta y ciertos documentos relacionados, que Santander considera relevantes para efectos de proporcionar esta opinión; |
9. | Revisado reportes de investigación de diversas instituciones bancarias, preparados por sus áreas de análisis. Santander consideró las proyecciones relacionadas con el comportamiento de compañías que Santander juzgó comparables a CGT, TII, Telmex y AMX; y |
10. | Realizado otras revisiones y análisis financieros, y revisado demás información financiera, económica y de mercado que Santander, a su entera discreción, consideró apropiado para emitir esta opinión. |
Para emitir esta opinión, Santander consideró y aplicó, según resultó apropiado, los siguientes métodos de valuación: (i) precio promedio ponderado de las acciones de CGT, Telmex, TII y AMX en ciertos periodos; (ii) valuaciones económicas, con base en múltiplos de mercado de empresas comparables (los Múltiplos de Valuación); y (iii) el valor neto de CGT, con base en los Múltiplos de Valuación, aplicados a las subsidiarias de CGT, principalmente a Telmex y a TII.
Santander ha asumido y se ha basado, sin haber llevado a cabo verificación o investigación alguna, en la veracidad e integridad de la información, proyecciones, datos y términos financieros proporcionados a, o utilizados por, Santander, y en la demás información públicamente disponible o entregada a, o discutida con, Santander, así como en la afirmación de la administración de CGT, en el sentido de que esta última ha confirmado que no tiene conocimiento de información relevante que haya sido omitida o no haya sido revelada a Santander. Hemos asimismo asumido que la información, proyecciones, datos y términos financieros no son erróneos ni inducen al error, y Santander no asume ni acepta responsabilidad alguna por cualquier verificación independiente de dicha información o de cualquier valuación o avalúo independiente de cualquiera de los activos, operaciones o pasivos de CGT, Telmex, TII o AMX. Asimismo, Santander ha sido informado por CGT que, desde la fecha en que la información empezó a ser revisada por Santander para efectos de la emisión de esta opinión, hasta esta fecha, CGT no ha tenido conocimiento de cualquier información o evento que pudiera afectar de manera importante los negocios, situación financiera, activos, responsabilidades, perspectivas de negocio, concesiones u autorizaciones, operaciones comerciales o el número de acciones emitidas y en circulación de CGT, Telmex, TII o AMX, incluyendo, sin limitar, como resultado de cualquier plan de opción
89
de compra de acciones, o que pudiera hacer incorrecta o imprecisa la información analizada en cualquier aspecto importante, o que pudiera causar un impacto significativo en la valoración de la razonabilidad de la Contrapresatción y en la emisión de esta Opinión.
Con respecto a la información financiera y demás información, Santander ha asumido, con el consentimiento de CGT, que éstas han sido preparadas de manera razonable con base en las estimaciones y criterios más acertados disponibles al mercado y a los funcionarios de CGT en ese momento, y que ningún evento subsecuente que no haya sido revelado a Santander ha tenido un efecto relevante en los mismos. Santander no asume o acepta responsabilidad alguna por las proyecciones o premisas en las cuales dichas estimaciones y criterios están basados, y no expresa opinión alguna acerca de las mismas. En la preparación de esta opinión, Santander ha recibido la confirmación especifica de la administración de CGT de que las proyecciones o premisas antes mencionadas son correctas y que no existe información que no haya sido entregada a Santander, que haya podido influir sobre la presente opinión o las proyecciones o premisas en las que dicha opinión está basada.
En adición a lo anterior, esta opinión se fundamenta en condiciones financieras, económicas, monetarias, de mercado y otras condiciones vigentes a esta fecha, así como en la información puesta a disposición de, o utilizada por, Santander, a la fecha de la presente opinión. Esta opinión se emite exclusivamente para determinar la razonabilidad, desde un punto de vista financiero, de la Contraprestación, de conformidad con lo establecido en la Información de la Oferta y no versa sobre ningún otro asunto, incluyendo la decisión de negocios de participar en la Oferta de Compra o los beneficios comerciales de dicha Oferta, los cuales son asuntos que competen al Consejo de Administración o al Comité de Auditoría de CGT. Eventos subsecuentes que afecten las condiciones antes mencionadas, podrán afectar la presente opinión y las suposiciones hechas en la emisión de la misma. Santander no está obligado a actualizar, revisar o ratificar esta opinión si las condiciones cambiaran.
Al emitir esta opinión, Santander no ha proporcionado asesoría legal, regulatoria, fiscal, contable o actuarial y, por lo tanto, Santander no asume responsabilidad u obligación alguna a este respecto. Adicionalmente, Santander ha asumido que la Oferta de Compra será consumada bajo los términos y condiciones establecidos en la Información de la Oferta, sin cambio relevante alguno o renuncia de sus términos y condiciones.
El compromiso de Santander y la opinión expresada en este documento, son en beneficio exclusivo del Consejo de Administración y del Comité de Auditoría de CGT y, por lo tanto, esta opinión se emite exclusivamente al Consejo de Administración y al Comité de Auditoría de CGT, en relación con la evaluación que hagan de la Oferta de Compra. Esta opinión no constituye de modo alguno una recomendación por parte de Santander a ninguno de los Accionistas en el sentido de que deban participar o no en la Oferta de Compra.
No se emite opinión alguna, ni se considera, la decisión de negocios de CGT en relación con la Oferta de Compra, ni los posibles beneficios de la Oferta de Compra en relación con otras alternativas estratégicas de negocios al alcance de CGT, o los efectos de cualquier otra operación que CGT lleve a cabo. La presente opinión no considera términos distintos a la Contraprestación (según se establece en esta opinión) o cualquier otro aspecto o implicación de la Oferta de Compra, incluyendo, sin limitación, la estructura
90
de la Oferta de Compra o la forma de pago de la Contraprestación, los aspectos o implicaciones fiscales o contables de la misma, o cualquier contrato o acuerdo a celebrase en relación con, o contemplado por, la Oferta de Compra.
Santander está actuando como asesor financiero de CGT y recibirá honorarios por sus servicios, incluyendo por la emisión de esta opinión. Santander y sus afiliadas han prestado, se encuentran prestando y en el futuro podrán prestar servicios, así como: (i) mantener relaciones bancarias con CGT y AMX; (ii) operar, por cuenta propia o por cuenta de sus clientes, acciones de AMX o de CGT.
En el curso ordinario de nuestros negocios, Santander y sus afiliadas podrian negociar o adquirir valores emitidos por CGT o AMX, por cuenta propia o por cuenta de terceros y, en consecuencia, ser titulares de dichos valores. Adicionalmente, Santander y sus afiliadas podrán mantener relaciones de negocios con CGT, AMX, Telmex y TII y sus respectivas afiliadas.
La presente opinión únicamente puedo ser utilizada para los fines expresamente mencionados. Salvo por la presentación de la presente Opinión ante la Securities and Exchange Commission de los Estados Unidos de América y ante la Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, así como la inclusión de referencias de esta opinión en el folleto informativo divulgado por CGT a través de la Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V. como consecuencia de la Reestructuración Societaria de CGT (como dicho término se define en la normatividad aplicable a emisoras de valores), esta opinión no puedo ser citada, referida, ni hacerse pública, en todo o en parte, ni ninguna referencia a Santander o a sus afiliadas puede realizarse, sin nuestro consentimiento previo y por escrito.
Esta opinión es emitida en el idioma español y la versión en idioma inglés es una traducción literal. La traducción de esta opinión al inglés es emitida únicamente para efectos de referencia, y no tendrá validez legal alguna, por lo que Santander no hace declaración alguna (ni acepta responsabilidad alguna) sobre la exactitud de dicha traducción.
Con base en lo anteriormente expuesto, en nuestra experiencia como banco de inversión, el análisis aquí descrito, y en consideración de ciertos otros factores considerados como relevantes, y sujeto a lo arriba expresado, somos de la opinión que, a esta fecha, la Contraprestación es razonable, desde un punto de vista financiero, para los Accionistas.

d. | Exhibit 25(d) AMX Pro Forma Financial Statements |
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements give pro forma effect to the TELECOM Offer (a common control transaction) and the Offer (a purchase of non-controlling interest) as described below.
On January 13, 2010 AMX announced that it intended to conduct two separate but concurrent offers to acquire outstanding shares of TELINT and TELECOM. TELINT provides a wide range of telecommunications services in Brazil, Colombia and other countries in Latin America. TELECOM is a holding company with controlling interests in TELINT and TELMEX, a leading Mexican telecommunications provider.
The two offers consist of the following:
| The TELECOM Offer. The consideration in the TELECOM Offer will consist of 2.0474 AMX L Shares for each share of TELECOM. If all shareholders of TELECOM participate in the TELECOM Offer, AMX will issue 7,129 million AMX L Shares in the TELECOM Offer. |
| The TELINT Offer. The consideration in the TELINT Offer will consist of 0.373 AMX L Shares or Ps. 11.66, at the election of the exchanging holder, for each share of TELINT. TELECOM has announced publicly that it will not participate in the TELINT Offer. If all shareholders of TELINT other than TELECOM participate in the TELINT Offer and elect to receive shares, AMX will issue 2,639 million AMX L Shares in the TELINT Offer. If all shareholders of TELINT other than TELECOM participate in the offer and elect to receive the cash consideration, AMX will pay Ps. 82,495 million (US$6,317 million based on the December 31, 2009 exchange rate) in the TELINT Offer. |
This condensed financial information was prepared from, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:
| The audited consolidated financial statements of AMX as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. |
| The audited consolidated financial statements of TELINT as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. |
| The audited consolidated financial statements of TELMEX as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. |
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet combines the December 31, 2009 historical consolidated balance sheets of the entities giving effect to the TELECOM Offer as a merger between entities under common control, as discussed below. It gives effect to the TELINT Offer as a purchase of non-controlling interest (a shareholders equity transaction). The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet assumes that the TELINT Offer and the TELECOM Offer were completed on December 31, 2009.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income give effect to the TELECOM Offer as if it had occurred on January 1, 2007. They also give effect to the TELINT Offer as if it had occurred on January 1, 2009.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are presented based on historical Mexican FRS amounts, with pro-forma combined net income and pro-forma combined shareholders equity amounts reconciled to US GAAP.
94
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are based on information presently available, using assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are being provided for information purposes only. They do not purport to represent our actual financial position or results of operations had the TELINT Offer and the TELECOM Offer occurred on the dates specified, nor do they project our results of operations or financial position for any future period or date.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income do not reflect any adjustments for operating synergies, transaction expenses or costs that may result from the TELINT Offer and the TELECOM Offer. In addition, pro forma adjustments are based on certain assumptions and other information that are subject to change as additional information becomes available. Accordingly, the amounts included in our financial statements published after the completion of the TELINT Offer and the TELECOM Offer may vary from the pro-forma amounts included herein.
