The foundation said it sold its remaining stake in Univision, which is in the process of being acquired by private investors, for an average of $35.34 per share in open-market transactions.

In May, Gates’ Cascade Investment, a private investment entity, had joined Mexico’s Grupo Televisa and other equity firms in a failed bid to buy Univision.
