deemed to beneficially own indirectly the Class A Common Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by

of the Warrants, 7,950,000 Class A Common Shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by each of Inmobiliaria
and GFI. Because the members of the Slim Family are beneficiaries of a Mexican trust which in turn owns all of the
outstanding voting securities of Inmobiliaria and a majority of the outstanding voting equity securities of GFI, the
Slim Family may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly the Warrants and the Class A Common Shares that may

and beneficially owned upon exercise of the Warrants by Inmobiliaria. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), the number
of issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Shares assumes that GFI does not exercise its Warrants within
60 days.
