Non-Mexican holders of CPOs do not have voting rights with respect to the Series “A”, Series “B” and Series “D” Shares.

(1)Repurchased or cancelled by the Company in connection with a share repurchase program.
(2)Acquired, released, cancelled or forfeited by a Company’s trust in connection with the Company’s Long-Term Retention Plan described below.

Under the Company’s bylaws, the Company’s Board of Directors consists of 20 members, of which the holders of Series “A” Shares, Series “B” Shares, Series “D” Shares and Series “L” Shares, each voting as a class, are entitled to elect eleven members, five members, two members and two members, respectively.

Holders of Series “D” Shares are entitled to receive a preferred dividend equal to 5% of the nominal capital attributable to those Shares (nominal Ps.0.00034412306528 per share) before any dividends are payable in respect of Series “A” Shares, Series “B” Shares or Series “L” Shares. Holders of Series “A” Shares, Series “B” Shares and Series “L” Shares are entitled to receive the same dividends as holders of Series “D” Shares if stockholders declare dividends in addition to the preferred dividend that holders of Series “D” Shares are entitled to. If the Company is liquidated, Series “D” Shares are entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the nominal capital attributable to those Shares nominal Ps.0.00688246130560 per share before any distribution is made in respect of Series “A” Shares, Series “B” Shares and Series “L” Shares.

At December 31, 2021, the restated for inflation tax value of the Company’s common stock was Ps.56,346,582. In the event of any capital reduction in excess of the tax value of the Company’s common stock, such excess will be treated as dividends for income tax purposes (see Note 18).

Long-Term Retention Plan

The Company has adopted a LTRP for the conditional sale of the Company’s capital stock to key Group officers and employees under a special purpose trust.

At the Company’s annual general ordinary stockholders’ meeting held on April 2, 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved that the number of CPOs that may be granted annually under the LTRP shall be up to 1.5% of the capital of the Company. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 11.7 million CPOs or CPO equivalents that were transferred to LTRP participants were sold in the open market during 2019 and 2021. Additional sales will continue to take place during or after 2022.

The special purpose trust created to implement the LTRP as of December 31, 2021 had approximately 194.0 million CPOs or CPO equivalents. This figure is net of approximately 32.3, 4.4 and 52.9 million CPOs or CPO equivalents vested in 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Of the 194.0 million CPOs or CPO equivalents approximately 75.0% are in the form of CPOs and the remaining 25.0% are in the form of Series “A”, Series “B”, Series “D” and Series “L” Shares, not in the form of CPO units. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 116.7 million CPOs or CPO equivalents are held by a company trust and will become vested between 2022 and 2024 at prices ranging from Ps.38.69 to Ps.1.60 per CPO, which may be reduced by dividends, a liquidity discount and the growth of the consolidated or relevant segment Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization, or OIBDA (including OIBDA affected by acquisitions) between the date of award and the vesting date, among others.

During the first half of 2020, the trust for the LTRP increased the number of shares and CPOs held for the purposes of this Plan in the amount of: (i) 5,526.3 million shares of the Company in the form of 47.2 million CPOs, and 666.9 million Series “A” Shares, not in the form of CPO units, in connection with the cancellation of these shares in the fourth quarter of 2019, which were conditionally sold to certain of the Company’s officers and employees in 2015 and 2016, and (ii) 1,009.7 million shares in the form of 8.6 million CPOs, in connection with forfeited rights under this Plan.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the trust for the LTRP increased the number of shares and CPOs held for the purposes of this Plan in the amount of: 3,196.1 million shares in the form of 27.4 million CPOs, and 351.0 million Series “A” Shares, not in the form of CPO units, in connection with forfeited rights under this Plan.

In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recognized as a decrease to the balance of shares repurchased a refund in the amount of Ps.100,000, which was made to the Company in 2019 by the trust for the LTRP.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the trust for the LTRP increased the number of shares and CPOs held for the purposes of this Plan in the amount of: (i) 2,011.4 million shares of the Company in the form of 17.2 million CPOs, which were acquired in the amount of Ps.774,073 and (ii) 879.5 million shares of the Company in the form of 7.5 million CPOs, in connection with forfeited rights under this Plan.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Company made a funding for acquisition of shares in the aggregate amount of Ps.197,000 and Ps.328,500, respectively, to the trust held for the Company’s LTRP.

As of December 31, 2021, the designated Retention Plan trust owned approximately 0.8 million CPOs or CPOs equivalents, which have been reserved to a group of employees, and may be sold at a price at least of Ps.36.52 per CPO, subject to certain conditions, in vesting periods between 2022 and 2023.

The Group has determined its share-based compensation expense (see Note 2 (y)), by using the BSPM at the date on which the stock was conditionally sold to personnel under the Company’s LTRP, on the following arrangements and weighted-average assumptions:
