Mexico City, April 14, 2004, Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A. de C.V. (NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR) announced that it has been notified by its strategic partner, Inversiones y Tecnicas Aeroportuarias, S.A. de C.V. (ITA), that Ferrovial S.A. has transferred its 24.5% ownership stake in ITA to two other shareholders of ITA, Copenhagen Airports A/S and Mr. Fernando Chico Pardo. An 11% stake in ITA has been transferred to Copenhagen Airports and a 13.5% ownership stake in ITA has been transferred to Mr. Fernando Chico Pardo.
ITA became ASURs strategic partner when it acquired 15% of ASURs capital in 1998 as part of the privatization of the airport system in Mexico.
As a result of this transaction, ITAs stockholders currently are: |
||
-
|
Copenhagen Airports A/S |
36.5% |
-
|
Nacional Financiera, S.N.C. | 25.5% |
-
|
Mr. Fernando Chico Pardo | 38.0% |
The new stockholder in ITA, Mr. Fernando Chico Pardo, founder and President of PROMECAP, S.C., is a Mexican investor who serves as a board member of the United Nations Pension Fund, The Quantum Group of Funds, Grupo Posadas de Mexico, Grupo Financiero Inbursa and Grupo Carso, among others.
According to the original agreements between ASUR and the Mexican Federal Government, the transfer of Ferrovials shares in ITA to Copenhagen Airports and Mr. Fernando Chico Pardo does not require the approval of ASURs stockholders, because Ferrovial is not a key partner in ITA (as defined in such agreements).
Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A. de C.V. (ASUR) is a Mexican airport operator with concessions to operate, maintain and develop the airports of Cancun, Merida, Cozumel, Villahermosa, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Huatulco, Tapachula and Minatitlan in the southeast of Mexico.
