In compliance with article 82 of the Spanish Securities Markets Law, ABERTIS INFRAESTRUCTURAS, S.A. ("Abertis" or the "Company"), hereby notifies the Spanish National Securities Market Commission of the following
Arteris (a subsidiary of Abertis through a 51% stake in Participes en Brasil, which controls Arteris with a 69.3% stake) has received a notification from the stock exchange society BOVESPA through which the company is informed that Brookfield Aylesbury's (Alesbury) stake in its share capital (14.9%) will be considered as "free float" once it carries out its proposed reorganization and the same is accredited within one month.
Brookfield Aylesbury became a shareholder of Arteris when it subscribed part of the offer to minority shareholders launched by Participes during 2013. In the proposed reorganization, the controlling shareholder of Aylesbury will be completely delinked from the controlling shareholders of Participes en Brasil.
As a result of the above, the uncertainty that may exist on the need to launch an MTO or reestablish the minimum "free float", established in Brazil at 25 %, is eliminated.
