The Mexico Fund, Inc. Pays Distribution

WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - Jan 13, 2015) - The Mexico Fund, Inc. (NYSE: MXF) announced that it will pay today a distribution of $0.7326 per share to stockholders of record on December 26, 2014 consisting of (1) a distribution of $0.7150 per share pursuant to its Managed Distribution Plan (MDP) and (2) an additional distribution of $0.0176 per share paid by the Fund to meet applicable tax requirements under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Under the Fund's MDP, the Fund pays quarterly distributions at an annual rate of 10% of the Fund's net asset value per share (NAV) recorded on the last business day of the previous calendar year. This combined distribution is the last corresponding to the fiscal year 2014.

As a general matter, the amount of distributable income for each fiscal period depends on the aggregate gains and losses realized by the Fund during the entire year. Distributions may consist of net investment income, capital gains and return of capital, but the character of these distributions cannot be determined until after the end of the Fund's fiscal year. 

However, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund is required to indicate the source of each distribution to stockholders. The following table sets forth an estimate of the sources of the January 13, 2015 distribution and distributions paid in the current fiscal year:
