ICA ANNOUNCES CLARIFYING
AMENDMENT TO US$215 MILLION SECURED CONVERTIBLE LOAN WITH FINTECH
June 28, 2016,
Mexico City — Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV and NYSE: ICA)
announced today that it entered into an amendment agreement
to clarify the terms of the secured convertible loan agreement (the "Loan") previously entered into through its subsidiaries
Controladora de Operaciones de Infraestructura, S.A. de C.V. (“CONOISA”) and ICA Promoción e Infraestructura,
S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“ICAPI”, and together with CONOISA the “Borrowers”), with Fintech Europe S.A.RL. (“Fintech”),
as lender, and ICA acting as guarantor. The amendment is intended to clarify the original intention of the parties that the loan
also may be convertible into certificados de participacion ordinaria ("CPOs") or shares representative of the capital
stock of ICA, as the case may be, representing up to 40% of the then fully-diluted capital stock of ICA, provided that the conversion
option would be effective upon the receipt of certain regulatory and corporate approvals. Although the loan might also be
convertible into direct shares of certain of ICA's operational subsidiaries, as previously disclosed, ICA considers that providing
Fintech with a conversion option at the holding company level allows ICA to avoid the dilution of its interest in certain of its
operational subsidiaries if Fintech chooses to exercise its option, prior to June 16, 2019, to convert the Loan at the holding
company level or by delivering shares of ICA's subsidiaries received as payment to ICA against delivery of CPOs or shares representative
of the capital stock of ICA, as the case may be.
As previously disclosed,
the Loan will be used to fund working capital and other investments required for the company to participate in new construction
and future infrastructure projects.
This press release contains
projections or other forward-looking statements related to ICA that reflect ICA’s current expectations or beliefs concerning
future events. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. We caution you that a number of important factors
could cause actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in
such forward-looking statements. These factors include cancellations of significant construction projects included in backlog,
material changes in the performance or terms of our concessions, additional costs incurred in projects under construction, failure
to comply with covenants contained in our debt agreements, developments in legal proceedings, unanticipated increases in financing
and other costs or the inability to obtain additional debt or equity financing on attractive terms, changes to our liquidity, economic
and political conditions and government policies in Mexico or elsewhere, changes in capital markets in general that may affect
policies or attitudes towards lending to Mexico or Mexican companies, changes in inflation rates, exchange rates, regulatory developments,
customer demand, competition and tax and other laws affecting ICA’s businesses 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.
