Emilio Azcárraga Jean
The transaction, closed on April 1, consolidates internal control within the Mexican media giant.
The deal was authorized by the antitrust authority and strengthens the company’s ownership structure.
Grupo Televisa announced the closing of the sale of 26.332 million Series ‘A’ shares to executives Bernardo Gómez Martínez and Alfonso de Angoitia Noriega. This transaction was announced in January and officially finalized on April 1. The driving force behind this operation is a reconfiguration of power within the consortium. Emilio Azcárraga Jean, who executed the sale, remains the principal individual shareholder.
However, the entry of these two shareholders as significant owners reinforces their roles within the company’s leadership. Consequently, Azcárraga’s equity stake is reduced to 12.1%. For their part, Bernardo Gómez Martínez and Alfonso de Angoitia Noriega each now hold a 5.3% stake. This realignment consolidates internal leadership and could shape the future strategy of Mexico’s most prominent media group.
In a statement submitted to the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV), the company noted that the transaction was officially concluded after all established conditions were met, including authorization from the National Antitrust Commission.
Emilio Azcárraga Jean will retain a 12.1% stake in Televisa, while Alfonso de Angoitia and Bernardo Gómez will each hold 5.3%. It should be noted that there are other active investors as well.
