Turin, 2 February 2018. ASTM and SIAS report that their jointly controlled company, EcoRodovias Infraestrutura e Logistica SA, one of Brazil's leading motorway operators, has signed an agreement with the shareholders of "Concessionaria de Rodovias Minas Gerais Golas SA" ("MGO") to acquire 100% of "MGO"'s share capital.

The acquisition amount is 600 million Brazilian reals.

MGO manages the BR-050 (GO/MG) motorway under concession. The road is about 437 km long and connects the cities of Cristalina in the State of Goiás and Delta in the State of Minas Gerais. It is one of Brazil's main strategic corridors for the export of agricultural products from its south-eastern and central-western regions to the Port of Santos.

The concession expires in January 2044. The acquisition of MGO Rodovias, after the last awarding "Rodoanel Norte", marks a further step in Ecorodovias's strategy of focusing on toll road concession assets and lengthening the duration of its portfolio.

The closing of the acquisition is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions precedent, which include approval by the "National Ground Transportation Agency" ("ANTT"), by the Brazil's antitrust authority CADE, by the "Brazilian Development Bank" ("BNDES") and by other creditors.

The transaction strengthens the role of Ecorodovias among Brazil's main motorway operators and allows the ASTM-SIAS Group to consolidate its position among the world's top toll motorway managers.
