“GRUMA TO DELIST FROM THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE”.

San Pedro Garza García, N.L., Mexico; June 26, 2015 – GRUMA, S.A.B. de C.V. ("GRUMA") (NYSE: GMK, BMV: GRUMAB) announced today its intention to terminate its Deposit Agreement (the "Agreement") with Citibank, N.A. (the "Depositary") regarding its American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), to delist its ADRs from the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and to terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

The Company decided to delist and deregister the ADRs because it wishes to concentrate the trading of its shares on the Mexican Stock Exchange.

Additionally, the Company weighed the benefits of maintaining an ADR program against the associated costs and reached the decision that continuing the listing of the ADRs is no longer justifiable. The termination of the ADR program will bring benefits to the Company by reducing costs associated with it, including listing, legal and auditing fees, among others.

The expected termination date of the Agreement is September 7, 2015. On or about September 8, 2015, GRUMA expects NYSE to suspend trading in the ADRs and file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to permanently delist the ADRs. The delisting is expected to be effective 10 days after the filing of Form 25. On or about September 8, 2015, GRUMA intends to file Form 15F with the SEC to deregister and terminate its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. The last trading day of such ADRs is expected to be on or about September 17, 2015.

The filings will deregister and terminate GRUMA’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act for its ADR program and ordinary shares.

 Upon filing Form 15F, GRUMA’s reporting obligations with NYSE and SEC will be immediately suspended, and GRUMA expects that the deregistration will be effective 90 days after the filing. GRUMA reserves the right to delay or withdraw the filing of Form 15F for any reason.

GRUMA’s ordinary shares will continue to be listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores) and GRUMA will continue to be subject to the disclosure requirements under Mexican law.

GRUMA intends to continue to publish its annual report, interim results and communications as required by applicable law on its website at www.gruma.com.
