América Móvil completed the placement of €3.0 billion 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], has completed the placement of EUR 3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior, unsecured bonds (the “Bonds”), exchangeable into ordinary shares of Koninklijke KPN N.V. (the “Exchangeable Bond Offering”). The Bonds will have a maturity of 5 years and will not pay interest. The Bonds will be exchangeable into Koninklijke KPN N.V. (“KPN”) ordinary shares (the “KPN Shares”) at an exchange price 45 per cent. above the volume weighted average price of the KPN Shares on the Euronext Amsterdam on 20 May 2015 (the “Reference Price”). The Reference Price is expected to be announced later today via a separate press release. The Exchangeable Bond Offering is expected to close on 28 May 2015.

In line with market practice for equity-linked transactions in Europe, the Bonds were placed with institutional investors outside US, in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

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 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 has agreed 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.

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. Merrill Lynch International and UBS Limited are acting as Lead Managers. Banca IMI S.p.A. and Citigroup Global Markets Limited are acting as Co-Managers.
