Vienna, 25 February 2014: Today the Telekom Austria Group (VSE: TKA, OTC US:
TKAGY) announces that yesterday it received the following statement by América
Móvil S.A.B. de C.V (América Móvil) on market rumours relating to a possible tie
up of Österreichische Industrieholding AG (ÖIAG) and América Móvil as to Telekom
Austria AG (TKA):

"América Móvil confirms that since its initial investment in TKA it has had
discussions with different stakeholders of TKA, including OIAG, to explore
mutual cooperation aspects in the field of telecommunications. Also, America
Móvil confirms that formal discussions could be started about a potential
shareholders' syndicate agreement between ÖIAG and América Móvil Group as
shareholders in TKA. However, any contacts on this are currently at a very early
stage. It is unclear whether discussions will enter a critical negotiation phase
or result in any shareholders' syndicate agreement.
 
Currently no agreement, in whichever form, and no common understanding exists
between ÖIAG and América Móvil in relation to TKA."
