FEDERAL JUDGE RAKOFF ISSUES PERMANENT INJUNCTION IN FAVOR OF GRUPO
TELEVISA AND AGAINST JPMORGAN AND CERTAIN OF ITS EXECUTIVES, WITH
RESPECT TO IMPROPER SALE BY JPMORGAN TO BANCO INBURSA OF
CABLEVISION LOAN


Mexico City, July 26, 2010—Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. (“Televisa”; NYSE:TV; BMV:TLEVISA CPO) today announced that Judge Jed S. Rakoff of the U.S. District Court in New York has issued a final ruling prohibiting JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc. (together, “JPMorgan”; NYSE:JPM) from, among other things, selling or participating to Banco Inbursa, SA (“Inbursa”) any interest in JPMorgan’s $225 million loan to Empresas Cablevisión, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Cablevision”), which is majority owned by Televisa.

Judge Rakoff’s new permanent injunction, entered after JPMorgan agreed to repurchase from Inbursa the 90 percent interest in the loan, prohibits JPMorgan from, among other things, ever again selling any interest in the loan to Inbursa; from having discussions or sharing information with Inbursa either regarding non-public information received from Cablevisión in connection with the loan, or JPMorgan’s consideration of requests for waivers, consents, and amendments to the Credit Agreement governing the loan; and from acting at the direction of, or with the intention of benefitting, Inbursa when taking or not taking action in connection with the loan.

Earlier this year, Judge Rakoff found, in a ruling upheld on appeal in June, that JPMorgan’s sale of the loan to Inbursa as a 90 percent participation was “an end-run, if not a downright sham” that breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and denied Cablevision the benefit of its contractual right to reject assignments of the $225 million loan.

Judge Rakoff’s order also prohibits nine named JPMorgan executives from participating in any determinations (with very limited exceptions) that JPMorgan will make going forward with respect to the loan. Attached to this press release, please find the judge’s resolution.

“We are gratified by the judge’s ruling. It is an important decision both for the enforcement of borrower’s veto rights under credit agreements and for requiring financial services institutions to act responsibly on behalf of their customers” said Salvi Folch, Chief Financial Officer of Televisa.

Grupo Televisa, S.A.B., is the largest media company in the Spanish-speaking world based on its market capitalization and a major participant in the international entertainment business.
