April 22, 2014

As announced on March 21, 2014, The Mexico Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is paying on April 22, 2014 a distribution of $0.7150 per share to stockholders of record on April 9, 2014. Under the Fund’s Managed Distribution Plan (“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 distribution is the first 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 source of the April 22, 2014 distribution and of distributions paid in the current fiscal year:
