Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) amends the initial Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) filed by the Reporting Person (as defined below) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 5, 2004 with respect to the Series A Shares of common stock, no par value (the “A Shares”), the Series B Shares of common stock, no par value (the “B Shares”), the Dividend Preferred Shares of common stock, no par value (the “D Shares”), and the limited-voting Series L Shares of common stock, no par value (“L Shares” and, together with the A Shares, the B Shares and the D Shares, the “Shares”) of Grupo Televisa, S.A. (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in the Amendment have the meanings ascribed to such term in the Schedule 13D.

The Issuer is a sociedad anónima organized under the laws of Mexico, whose principal executive offices are located at Avenida Vasco de Quiroga No. 2000, Colonia Santa Fe, 01210 México, D.F., México.

Item 2.

Identity and Background.

   

 

(a) – (c) and (f): 

This Statement is filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by Emilio Fernando Azcárraga Jean (“EAJ” or the “Reporting Person”).

EAJ is a Mexican citizen whose present principal occupation is President and Chairman of the Board of the Issuer. His principal business address is: Av. Chapultepec 18, First Floor, News Center, Col. Doctores, 06724 México, D.F, México.

EAJ is the sole beneficiary of Trust No. 80370, a trust organized under the laws of Mexico for the benefit of EAJ (the “Azcárraga Trust”) and has the power to determine the investment and voting decisions made by the Azcárraga Trust.

Trust No. 80359 (the “LTRP Trust”) is a trust organized under the laws of Mexico as an equity compensation plan for employees of the Issuer. The LTRP Trust holds the following Shares: 7,406,648,335 A Shares, 4,019,584,893 B Shares, 2,677,880,689 D Shares and 2,677,880,689 L Shares. Beginning in 2008, however, Shares held in the LTRP Trust will become vested over a period of years, reducing the number of Shares held in the LTRP Trust accordingly. A technical committee, all of whose members are employees of the Issuer, has the power to control the voting of Shares held by the LTRP Trust. Thus, the LTRP Trust may be deemed to be controlled by the Issuer, and the Issuer and EAJ may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of all Shares beneficially owned by the LTRP Trust. The Issuer and EAJ expressly disclaim such beneficial ownership.

(d) and (e)

EAJ has not, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or been a party to a civil proceeding of a

 

 

 

 

 

 



CUSIP No.     40049J206 GDSs

13D

Page 4 of  9

 

 

judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and is not and has not been, as a result of such proceeding, subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The aggregate amount of funds required to purchase the 600 A Shares purchased on the Mexican Stock Exchange by EAJ in June 2005 was U.S. $10.00. The funds used to purchase these Shares were obtained from the personal funds of EAJ.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

Trust Agreement

 

Voting of Shares. Pursuant to the agreement governing the Shareholder Trust (the “Trust Agreement”), the Shares held through the Shareholder Trust are voted by the trustee as instructed by a Technical Committee comprising five members—three appointed by the Azcárraga Trust and one appointed by each of the Inbursa Trust and the Investor Trust. Accordingly, except as described below, EAJ controls the voting of the Shares held through the Shareholder Trust. In elections of directors, the Technical Committee instructs the trustee to vote the A Shares held through the Shareholder Trust for individuals designated by EAJ. As a result, EAJ has the ability to direct the election of eleven out of 20 members of the Issuer’s board of directors.

In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Technical Committee instructs the trustee to vote the B Shares held through the Shareholder Trust for a total of five individuals to be elected as members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, who are designated as follows. EAJ is now entitled to nominate three, rather than two, individuals because the Investor Trust no longer holds at least two percent of the Shares. So long as the Shares held by the Inbursa Trust through the Shareholder Trust constitute more than two percent of the total issued and outstanding Shares, it is entitled to nominate two individuals. Because the B Shares held through the Shareholder Trust constitute 2.57% of the total B Shares outstanding, there can be no assurance that individuals nominated by Shareholder Trust beneficiaries will be elected to the Issuer’s Board.

EAJ has agreed to consult with the Inbursa Trust as to the voting of shares held through the Shareholder Trust on matters specifically set forth in the Trust Agreement, including increases or reductions in the capital stock of the Issuer (other than acquisitions by the Issuer of its capital stock as permitted by Mexican law); merger, split-up, dissolution, liquidation or bankruptcy proceedings of the Issuer; related party transactions, extensions of credit, the purchase or sale of assets of the Issuer or share repurchases, in each case exceeding specified thresholds; the furnishment of guaranties, other than in the ordinary course of business; and selection of the chairman of the Issuer’s board of directors, if different from EAJ. If the Inbursa Trust requests that Shares be voted in a particular way on such a matter, and EAJ declines to do so, then notwithstanding the arrangements described below, the Inbursa Trust may immediately withdraw its Shares from the Shareholder Trust. These consultation rights will terminate if the

 

 

 

 

 



CUSIP No.     40049J206 GDSs

13D

Page 5 of  9  

 

 

Inbursa Trust ceases to be party to the Shareholder Trust or if it owns less than two percent of the total issued and outstanding Shares.

Release of Shares. Before July 1, 2005, certain restrictions existed on the ability of the Inbursa Trust and the Investor Trust to withdraw Shares from the Shareholder Trust. After July 1, 2005, the Inbursa Trust was entitled to withdraw up to two-thirds of its Shares and the Investor Trust was entitled to withdraw all of its Shares. The Inbursa Trust is authorized to withdraw any or all of its remaining Shares beginning July 1, 2009. The Azcárraga Trust may withdraw any or all of its Shares from the Shareholder Trust beginning July 1, 2005, but upon any such withdrawal, the Inbursa Trust may freely withdraw any or all of its Shares. Notwithstanding these restrictions, if EAJ transfers Shares such that a third party would control the Issuer, and at the time of the transfer there is no law that would require the third party purchaser to tender for all outstanding Shares (including Shares beneficially owned by the Inbursa Trust), the Inbursa Trust will have the right to participate in the transfer on the same terms and conditions as EAJ.

On December 16, 2004, the beneficiaries of the Trust Agreement agreed to an amendment to the Trust Agreement, which allows EAJ to withdraw up to 3,082,482 CPOs from the Shareholder Trust.

 

Withdrawals

On July 1, 2005, Trust No. F/0008 (the “Pension Trust”), a trust organized under the laws of Mexico, which had received a beneficial interest in two-thirds of the Inbursa Trust’s Shares from an affiliate of the Inbursa Trust, withdrew all of its Shares from the Shareholder Trust. On July 22, 2005, the Investor Trust withdrew all of its Shares from the Shareholder Trust.

General

The provisions of the Trust Agreement are set forth as an exhibit to the Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein in their entirety by this reference in response to this Item. The foregoing description of the terms and provisions of these documents is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents.

Except as set forth in this Statement, EAJ currently has no plans or proposals which relate to or which would result in any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to Schedule 13D. However, from time to time EAJ may evaluate the possibility of acquiring additional Shares, disposing of Shares, or entering into corporate transactions involving the Issuer (including, but not limited to, joint ventures and/or other commercial arrangements with the Issuer). EAJ reserves the right to formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities and to carry out any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to this Statement, to the extent deemed advisable by EAJ.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)          The Shareholder Trust, the Azcárraga Trust, the Inbursa Trust, EAJ and Promotora Inbursa constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, the Shareholder Trust beneficially owns directly, and each of the Azcárraga Trust, the Inbursa Trust, and Promotora Inbursa may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly the following number of Shares: 54,649,375,593 A Shares, which constitute approximately

 

 

 

 

 

 



CUSIP No.     40049J206 GDSs

13D

Page 6 of  9

 

 

44.20% of the 123,632,194,175 A Shares outstanding; 1,526,458,516 B Shares, which constitute approximately 2.57% of the 59,298,118,796 B Shares outstanding; 2,428,456,730 D Shares, which constitute approximately 2.68% of the 90,588,051,715 D Shares outstanding; and 2,428,456,730 L Shares, which constitute approximately 2.68% of the 90,588,051,715 L Shares outstanding.

EAJ beneficially owns directly 600 A Shares and 860 CPOs (which represent 21,500 A Shares, 18,920B Shares, 30,100 D Shares and 30,100 L Shares). Including the Shares that EAJ is deemed to own as a member of the Shareholder Trust, EAJ beneficially owns the following number of Shares: 54,649,397,693 A Shares, which constitute approximately 44.20% of the 123,632,194,175 A Shares outstanding; 1,526,477,436 B Shares, which constitute approximately 2.57% of the 59,298,118,796 B Shares outstanding; 2,428,486,830 D Shares, which constitute approximately 2.68% of the 90,588,051,715 D Shares outstanding; and 2,428,486,830 L Shares, which constitute approximately 2.68% of the 90,588,051,715 L Shares outstanding.

Shares held directly by members of the “group” (as described above) other than EAJ are not disclosed in this Amendment. EAJ expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any Shares directly beneficially owned by any direct or indirect participant in the Shareholder Trust, other than by EAJ.

These Shares are comprised primarily of 860 CPOs that were received as a bequest from a family member in 1993 and were inadvertently excluded from the Schedule 13D.
