The Mexico Fund, Inc. Announces the Renewal and Reinforcement of its Expense Limitation Agreement

COLUMBIA, Maryland, Oct. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Mexico Fund, Inc. (NYSE: MXF) announced today that the Board of Directors of the Fund (the "Board" of the "Fund") and Impulsora del Fondo México, S.C. ("Impulsora"), the Fund's investment adviser, have renewed and reinforced the Fund´s Expense Limitation Agreement ("ELA") between the Fund and Impulsora. The ELA was initially announced on March 12, 2019, with the objective to support the long-term performance of the Fund and to further the interests of Fund stockholders by continuing to deliver a competitive investment vehicle providing exposure to Mexican equities.

Under the current ELA, the Fund and Impulsora have committed to a 1.50% ordinary expense ratio (excluding amounts payable via the performance adjustment factor under the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and any non-recurring expenses), for fiscal year 2021, beginning on November 1, 2020, through October 31, 2021, so long as Fund net assets remain greater than $180 million.

The Board and Impulsora have agreed to renew and further strengthen the Fund´s ELA for fiscal year 2022, reducing the ordinary expense ratio cap from 1.50% to 1.40%. Impulsora will waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding amounts payable via the performance adjustment factor under the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement, taxes, interest, brokerage fees and any non-recurring expenses) to the extent necessary so that the Fund´s ordinary annual expense ratio does not exceed 1.40% from November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2022, so long as Fund net assets remain greater than $260 million. When Fund net assets are below the threshold of $260 million, Impulsora will still waive fees in an amount necessary to maintain an ordinary operating expense ratio of 1.40% at a hypothetical Fund net asset level of $260 million.

In addition to the significant reduction in expenses since the implementation of the ELA in March 2019, the Fund reinstated its Managed Distribution Plan ("MDP") in July 2021. Under its MDP, the Fund pays quarterly distributions of $0.18 per share, which translates into an annualized distribution rate of 4.7% based on the Fund´s market price as of October 15, 2021.
