? This judgment confirms that GMexico may acquire, represent, and vote in excess

of 10% of GAP's stock.

? It is ratified that several clauses of GAP's by-laws were found to be in violation of the Securities Market Law and therefore are deemed to be null and void.

? GMexico will continue to pursue legal actions to defend its rights as an investor in

GAP.
Mexico City, February 27,Grupo México, S.A.B. de C.V. (GMexico) announces that the Second Chamber of Mexico City Superior Court confirmed the decision of Judge First of Mexico City Civil Court, to declare null and void the by-laws that prevented any shareholder from acquiring and voting more than 10% of GAP capital stock.
The judgment confirms that GAP should have amended its by-laws since 2006 when the new Securities Market Law was enacted. As of the date hereof, GAP must acknowledge voting and other corporate rights arising from GMexico and any other stockholder stake in GAP, even if these holdings are in excess of 10%.
In view of the foregoing, GAP must detach from the interests of the controlling group at GAP (which only holds 15% of GAP's capital stock), in compliance with judgment and the provisions of the Securities Market Law, which protects the rights of all investors.
In any event, GMexico will continue to pursue legal actions to defend its rights as an investor in GAP.
