Strategic Alliance Between Televisa and Genomma Lab

Grupo Televisa, S.A.B. ("Televisa"; NYSE:
TV; BMV: TLEVISA CPO) and Genomma Lab Internacional, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Genomma
Lab"; BMV: LAB B) announced today that they have signed a strategic alliance
agreement to sell and distribute personal care and over the counter
pharmaceuticals in the United States and Puerto Rico. 

The strategic alliance will operate through Televisa Consumer Products USA
("TCP") a company owned 51% by Televisa and 49% by Genomma Lab. The sale and
distribution of Genomma Lab's products will be an integral part of the
activities of TCP.

As part of this alliance, TCP will enter into, among others, a product supply
agreement with Genomma Lab. Televisa will make available its different media
platforms in the United States and Puerto Rico to TCP, which will provide
Genomma Lab's brands with significant advertising in the targeted markets in
line with Genomma Lab's business model.

This will enable Genomma Lab to expand the extensive success of its brands
beyond Mexico and Latin America by accessing a Hispanic market of
approximately 50 million consumers with a purchasing power of over $870
billion annually while leveraging off of Televisa's reach and name recognition
in the Hispanic market. 

Subject to certain conditions, the parties contemplate closing the transaction
in the following months and launching operations by year end.
