    Vienna, 23 April 2014: Today the Telekom Austria Group (VSE: TKA, OTC
    US: TKAGY) announces that it has been informed of the following
    facts:

    Mexico City, Mexico, April 23, 2014. América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V.
    ("AMX") (BMV: AMX; NYSE: AMX; NASDAQ: AMOV; LATIBEX: XAMXL),
    announced today that it has entered, through its wholly owned
    subsidiary Carso Telecom B.V. ("Carso Telecom"), into a shareholders'
    agreement (the "Shareholders' Agreement") with Österreichische
    Industrieholding AG ("ÖIAG"), with respect to their participations in
    Telekom Austria AG ("Telekom Austria").

    As part of the transaction, ÖIAG and AMX have agreed, subject to the
    closing of the Public Offer (as defined below) and the approval by
    Telekom Austria's shareholders meeting, to vote in favor and support
    a capital increase in Telekom Austria of EUR 1,000 million. The
    capital increase will strengthen Telekom Austria's capital structure
    and financial position and will allow Telekom Austria to continue to
    invest in state-of-the-artinfrastructure, research and development,
    innovation of products and services, amongst others, and to position
    Telekom Austria to benefit from investment opportunities arising in
    the countries in which it currently operates and in emerging markets
    in Central and Eastern Europe.

    This Shareholders' Agreement and the Public Offer (as defined below)
    are subject to certain regulatory approvals. Once such conditions are
    satisfied, the Shareholders' Agreement will become effective and AMX
    will obtain operational responsibilities in Telekom Austria. Telekom
    Austria currently operates in Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia,
    Serbia, Macedonia, Liechtenstein and Slovenia. As of December 31,
    2013, it had approximately 2.6 million fixed line subscribers, 20.1
    million wireless subscribers and revenues of EUR4,184 million.

    AMX CEO Daniel Hajj said: "We are very happy to partner with ÖIAG, a
    key shareholder of Telekom Austria that has developed an
    extraordinary company with extraordinary people. The negotiations
    with ÖIAG, although intense, were constructive and professional. The
    main goal for both parties was the further development and future of
    Telekom Austria. This agreement provides the basis for future growth,
