América Móvil announces an offer by its Dutch subsidiary América Móvil B.V. of

guaranteed, secured bonds mandatorily exchangeable into ordinary shares of

Koninklijke KPN N.V.

Mexico City, Mexico, September 10, 2015. América Móvil, S.A.B. de C.V. (“AMX”) [BMV: AMX] [NYSE: AMX] [NASDAQ: AMOV] [LATIBEX: XAMXL], announces that its wholly-owned Dutch subsidiary América Móvil B.V. (the “Issuer”) has launched an offering of EUR 750 million principal amount of guaranteed secured bonds (the “Bonds”) mandatorily exchangeable into ordinary shares of Koninklijke KPN N.V. (“KPN”) (the “Mandatory Exchangeable Bond Offering”). The Bonds will be offered in accordance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Bonds will have a maturity of 3 years and are expected to pay a coupon of between 5.25 per cent and 5.75 per cent per annum payable quarterly in arrear, as well as an additional interest corresponding to 85 per cent of the gross amount of cash dividends and distributions paid in relation to the underlying KPN ordinary shares (the “KPN Shares”). The minimum exchange price at which the Bonds could be exchanged for KPN Shares will correspond to the volume-weighted average price of the KPN Shares on Euronext Amsterdam on September 10, 2015 (the “Reference Price”). The maximum exchange price is expected to be set at a premium ranging from 25 per cent to 30 per cent over the Reference Price. The number of KPN Shares included in the initial exchange property will be fixed later today by dividing the principal amount of the Bonds by the Reference Price (the “Exchange Property”). The Exchange Property will be subject to any adjustments required under the terms and conditions of the Bonds. English law security will be granted over the Exchange Property in favour of the bond trustee, on behalf of the holders.

The outcome of the placement and the final terms of the Mandatory Exchangeable Bond Offering are expected to be determined and announced on September 10, 2015 and the Mandatory Exchangeable Bond Offering is expected to close on September 17, 2015.

If not previously exchanged, the Bonds will be exchanged for KPN Shares on the maturity date, expected to be September 17, 2018. Upon exchange, the Issuer will have the flexibility to settle in cash, deliver the underlying KPN Shares or a combination thereof.

Following pricing, the Issuer and AMX intend 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 Mandatory Exchangeable Bond Offering, subject to customary exceptions. The Issuer will use the proceeds from the Mandatory 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 Bookrunner.
