MEXICO CITY, March 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Maxcom Telecomunicaciones, S.A.B. de C.V. ("Maxcom", "the Company") (NYSE:MXT) (BMV: MAXCOM CPO), one of the leading integrated telecommunications companies in Mexico, today held its annual shareholder meeting, in which its shareholders approved, among other, the following items: - The 2007 annual report by the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of
Directors. - The 2007 audited financial statements. - The stock buy-back plan for 2008. - The appointment of new Directors to the Board.
After PricewaterhouseCoopers finished their auditing process of the 2007 financial statements, the Company adopted new accounting criteria to recognize the cost of stock options related to the consummation of the Company's initial public offering. As a result, the cost of such options was recognized when it was granted instead of when the option was exercised, as originally stated (see Maxcom's Initial Public Offering Prospectus dated October 18, 2007, page 92); thereby, booking such cost in the fourth quarter of 2007 rather than beginning second quarter of 2008. This cost represented a non-cash item for the Company in the amount of Ps.24 million. The following table sets forth the audited results when compared to the unaudited results reported on February 11, 2008. A full set of audited financial statements can be found at the end of this report: Year ended December 31, 2007

Finally, the shareholders nominated and appointed Gabriel Vazquez as director, and Efrain Ruvalcaba and Jorge Vazquez as alternate directors to the board. Therefore, the Company's new board is comprised as follows: Directors Alternate Directors
