News Summary:

TV Azteca filed a Chapter 15 proceeding in the U.S. on September 16, 2026, seeking to consolidate and organize its reorganization process initiated in Mexico. This action aims to enable U.S.-based creditors to participate and assert their rights within the Mexican *concurso mercantil*, protect TV Azteca's U.S. assets, and ensure its obligations are addressed in an orderly manner under clear rules. This follows a statement on August 6, 2026, indicating that Mexico would not be responsible for debt attributed to Ricardo Salinas Pliego, the owner of Grupo Salinas. Earlier on the same day, August 6, 2026, an ICSID tribunal unanimously dismissed a US$219 million NAFTA claim against Mexico. U.S. funds Cyrus Capital Partners and Contrarian Capital Management had brought the claim concerning TV Azteca's defaulted bonds, but the tribunal ruled the claimants lacked protected investor status.
