ICA and CGL, a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Hunt Companies, Agreement Expires for Social Infrastructure Projects in Mexico

MEXICO CITY and MIAMI, Dec. 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Empresas ICA, Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV:ICA) (NYSE:ICA), and CGL/Hunt, announced today that their agreement expired on November 30, 2014 with respect to two social infrastructure facilities in Mexico ("the Agreement"). This expiration resulted from the parties' difficulty in obtaining the Mexican federal government's consent to the transaction as proposed.

The Agreement, which had been announced in January of this year, proposed that ICA contribute to CGL/Hunt two 22-year Service Provider Contracts (SPCs) to provide non-correctional services at two federal penitentiaries in Mexico. CGL/Hunt had agreed to pay ICA Ps. 1,511 million, or approximately US$116 million, for a 70% equity interest, while ICA would retain 30%.

Despite the expiration of the Agreement, ICA and CGL/Hunt are continuing discussions to work together on other opportunities in the future.

ICA will continue to give a discontinued operation status to both projects. ICA also expects to continue to explore options for recycling capital from the SPCs.
