In compliance with article 160 (f) of the Spanish Capital Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), the Company will call a General Shareholders Meeting to submit the transaction for its prior approval, as it is an essential asset. Grupo Villar Mir, S.A.U., majority shareholder, supports the transaction and has stated that it will exercise its voting rights and vote in favour of the approval of the transaction.

The closing of the transaction is also conditioned on, among others, obtaining the corresponding anti-trust authorisation from the Mexican authorities, obtaining certain waivers from creditors, and the approval and launch by IFM Investors or a subsidiary, of a Public Tender Offer for the share capital in OHL México, S.A.B. de C.V. not held by IFM Investors as of the closing date, as a result of the indirect change of control in OHL México, S.A.B. de C.V. due to this transaction, in compliance with article 98 of the Securities Market Law (Ley de Mercado de Valores).

In accordance with the above, the Company expects that closing of the transaction will occur during the first quarter of 2018.

The important income that this transaction will provide to the OHL Group will not only leave the Company without net recourse debt, but will also result in a positive treasury position.
