ICA and
CGL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hunt Companies, agreement expires for social infrastructure projects in Mexico
Mexico City and Miami – December
5, 2014 – Empresas ICA, Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV and NYSE: ICA), and CGL/Hunt, announced today that their agreement
expired on November 30, 2014 with respect to two social infrastructure facilities in Mexico (“the Agreement”). This
expiration resulted from the parties’ difficulty in obtaining the Mexican federal government’s consent to the transaction
as proposed.
The Agreement, which had been announced
in January of this year, proposed that ICA contribute to CGL/Hunt two 22-year Service Provider Contracts (SPCs) to provide non-correctional
services at two federal penitentiaries in Mexico. CGL/Hunt had agreed to pay ICA Ps. 1,511 million, or approximately US$116 million,
for a 70% equity interest, while ICA would retain 30%.
Despite the expiration of the Agreement,
ICA and CGL/Hunt are continuing discussions to work together on other opportunities in the future.
ICA will continue to give a discontinued
operation status to both projects. ICA also expects to continue to explore options for recycling capital from the SPCs.
This press release may contain projections
or other forward-looking statements related to ICA that reflect ICA’s current expectations or beliefs concerning future events.
Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and may differ materially from actual results or
events due to important factors such as changes in general economic, business or political or other conditions in Mexico, Latin
America or elsewhere, changes in capital markets in general that may affect policies or attitudes towards lending to Mexico or
Mexican companies, changes in tax and other laws affecting ICA’s businesses, increased costs, unanticipated increases in
financing and other costs or the inability to obtain additional debt or equity financing on attractive terms and other factors
set forth in ICA’s most recent filing on Form 20-F and in any filing or submission ICA has made with the SEC subsequent to
its most recent filing on Form 20-F. All forward-looking statements are based on information available to ICA on the date hereof,
and ICA assumes no obligation to update such statements.
