América Móvil launches an offer of bonds exchangeable into ordinary shares of

Koninklijke KPN N.V.

Mexico City, Mexico, May 20, 2015. América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (“AMX”) [BMV: AMX] [NYSE: AMX] [NASDAQ: AMOV] [LATIBEX: XAMXL], announces an offering of EUR 2,250 million initial principal amount, with an upsize option of EUR 250 million, of senior unsecured bonds (the “Bonds”) exchangeable into ordinary shares of Koninklijke KPN N.V. (the “Exchangeable Bond Offering”). The Exchangeable Bond Offering will be executed in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Bonds will have a maturity of 5 years and are expected to pay a coupon of between 0.00 per cent and 0.50 per cent per annum payable semi-annually in arrear. The exchange premium will be set at pricing and is expected to be between 40 per cent and 45 per cent above the reference price of Koninklijke KPN N.V. (“KPN”) ordinary shares (the “KPN Shares”). The reference price will be the volume weighted average price of the KPN Shares on the Euronext Amsterdam on 20 May 2015.

The outcome of the placement and the final terms of the Exchangeable Bond Offering are expected to be determined and announced on 20 May 2015 and the Exchangeable Bond Offering is expected to close on 28 May 2015.

AMX will have the option to redeem all, but not some only, of the Bonds in certain circumstances, including from approximately 2.5 years after the issue date at their principal amount, together with accrued interest, provided that the value of the pro rata share of the Exchange Property in respect of a Bond shall have exceeded 130 per cent. of the principal amount of a Bond over a specified period.

If not previously exchanged or redeemed the Bonds will be redeemed at par on the maturity date, expected to be 28 May 2020. Upon redemption at maturity, AMX will have the flexibility to settle all or part of the redemption value in shares. Upon exchange, AMX will have the flexibility to settle in cash, deliver the underlying KPN Shares or a combination thereof.

Following pricing, AMX intends to agree not to place any further KPN Shares in the market for a period beginning today and ending 90 days following the closing of the Exchangeable Bond Offering, subject to customary exceptions. AMX will use the proceeds of the Exchangeable Bond Offering for general corporate purposes.

It is intended that an application will be made to admit the Bonds to trading on an internationally recognised, regularly operating, regulated or non-regulated, stock exchange as determined by AMX.

Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch is acting as Sole Global Coordinator. Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch and Barclays Bank PLC are acting as Joint Bookrunners.
