Atlantia, the shareholders' meeting extends the terms for the Abertis takeover bid

The Shareholders' Meeting of Atlantia, which met on Wednesday 21 February 2018 in an extraordinary session under the chairmanship of Dr. Fabio Cerchiai, regarding the voluntary takeover bid and/or exchange on all ordinary shares issued by Abertis Infraestructuras SA, resolved to extend the deadline for the execution of the capital increase to service the Offer from 30 April to 30 November 2018 and to reformulate the period of non-transferability of the special shares, to be issued by virtue of the capital increase to service the Offer, to 90 (ninety) days from their issue (instead of a fixed date).

"The evaluation or modification of the takeover bid on Abertis will only take place after the go-ahead for the counter-takeover bid" launched by Hochtief by the CNMV, the Spanish stock exchange control commission, declared Atlantia's CEO John Castellucci speaking at the meeting.

76,87% of the shareholders were present and approved the request, with 93,65% of the votes in favour. The votes against in the meeting amounted to 6,23% and the abstentions 0,11%.
