IUSACELL PRESS RELEASE
Mexico City, September 19, 2005 - Grupo Iusacell, S.A. de C.V., [BMV: CEL, NYSE:
CEL], announced today that, as previously reported, as of September 19, 2005,
and per the company's instructions, the Bank of New York (BONY) has terminated
the company's American Depositary Receipt (ADR) program. As a result, the New
York Stock Exchange (NYSE) will suspend trading of the company's ADRs on
September 20, 2005. As of this date, the company's ADRs will no longer be traded
on the NYSE.
As previously announced, at an Extraordinary Shareholder Meeting, on June 1,
2005, 96.7% of Iusacell shareholders approved termination of the ADR program
after an analysis and discussion of the costs and benefits of a continued
listing on a U.S. national securities exchange.
As previously explained, ADR holders will have 60 days beginning September 20,
2005, to exchange their ADRs for shares traded on the Mexican Stock Exchange
(BMV). After the 60 day period, BONY will be able to sell shares corresponding
to the ADRs that have not been exchanged and distribute the proceeds of such
sale to holders of the remaining ADRs.
