Restrictions
A portion of the Company’s debt is subject to certain covenants with respect to maintaining certain financial measures, as well as restrictions on selling a significant portion of groups of assets, among others. As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants.
A portion of the Company’s debt is also subject to mandatory or optional redemption at the option of the holders in the event of a change in control of the Company, as defined in each relevant instrument. The definition of change in control varies from instrument to instrument; however, no change in control shall be considered to have occurred as long as its current shareholders continue to hold the majority of the Company’s voting shares.
Covenants
In accordance with the credit agreements, the Company is obligated to comply with certain financial and operating covenants. Such covenants limit in certain cases, the ability of the Company or the guarantor to: pledge assets, carry out certain types of mergers, sell all or substantially all of its assets, and sell control of Telcel.
Such covenants do not restrict the ability of AMX’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or other payment distributions to AMX. The more restrictive financial covenants require the Company to maintain a consolidated ratio of debt to EBITDA (defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization) that does not exceed 4 to 1, and a consolidated ratio of EBITDA to interest paid that is not below 2.5 to 1 (in accordance with the clauses included in the credit agreements).
Several of the financing instruments of the Company may be accelerated, at the option of the debt holder in the case that a change in control occurs.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all of such covenants.
