Abengoa makes further progress with its divestiture with the agreement to sell the activity of its subsidiary Abentel to Ericsson.

July 6, 2016

• Closing of the deal is expected during Q3 2016

July 6, 2016 - Abengoa (MCE: ABG.B), the international company that applies innovative technology solutions for sustainability in the energy and environment sectors, and Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) have signed an Activities Transfer Agreement (ATA) under which Abentel's assets, projects and employees will be transferred to Ericsson. This agreement is included in the company's announced divestiture plan and will contribute to reaching the objectives that are outlined in Abengoa's viability plan. .

Under the agreement that will be closed during the third quarter of 2016, it is planned that approximately 500 professionals specialized in fiber networks rollout and Abengoa's services will join Ericsson and therefore bring a relevant set of skills that will contribute to fiber-related services. Similarly, this operation will allow Abengoa to progressively reduce its debt with creditors, suppliers as well as the guarantees associated with Abentel's projects.

The subsidiary of Abengoa has been conducting design work, construction and maintenance of telecommunication networks, continuously, since 1968, working with telecommunication service operators and suppliers, both in Spain and abroad. Currently, Abentel provides comprehensive solutions for cable networks (copper and fiber optic) from the operator right to the inside of the end-user's home, including all the associated services that are necessary to ensure that the end-to- end installation and network maintenance is offered.

This operation falls under Abengoa's divestiture policy and represents a further step in the viability process in which the company is involved. Over the past months, Abengoa has also announced the sale of its participation in the Shams-1 thermosolar plant, located in the United Arab Emirates, in addition to the Campos Palomas wind farm in Uruguay, among other projects.
