Grupo TMM to delist from the NYSE

Mexico City, May 23, 2012

Grupo TMM, S.A.B. (NYSE: TMM and BMV: TMM A; "TMM" or the "Company"), a Mexican intermodal transportation and logistics company, announced that on May 22, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing the delisting of TMM’s American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

The Company’s financial results for the past few years have been mainly impacted by the high volatility of the exchange rate between Mexican pesos and U.S. dollars and the global economic slowdown, calling into question the continued viability of TMM’s NYSE listing. Due to this volatility, at the exchange rates in effect at the close of the first quarter, when the Company announced on May 2, its first quarter results, Grupo TMM had fallen below the average global market capitalization and stockholders’ equity continued listing standards. The NYSE notified the Company of this noncompliance. At today’s exchange rate, the Company satisfies the stockholders’ equity standard.

After careful review of the circumstances, including the volatility of the exchange rate which causes uncertainty of TMM's ability to satisfy the NYSE's continued listing standards going forward, the Company’s Board of Directors has decided to initiate steps to voluntarily delist TMM’s ADSs from the NYSE and not pursue any compliance plan with the NYSE. In reaching this decision, the Company’s Board of Directors also noted the low trading volume in TMM’s ADSs and the compliance costs associated with maintaining a U.S. listing.

The Company intends to delist the ADSs by filing a Form 25 with the SEC. TMM expects that its ADSs will trade on the over-the-counter ("OTC") market thereafter.

TMM’s ADSs will continue to be registered under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition, TMM’s nominative common shares underlying the ADSs will continue to be traded in Mexico on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores (the "Mexican Stock Exchange").

Headquartered in Mexico City, TMM is a Latin American intermodal transportation Company. Through its branch offices and network of subsidiary companies, TMM provides a dynamic combination of ocean and land transportation services. Visit TMM’s web site at www.grupotmm.com.
