Atizapán-Atlacomulco highway: modification of concession title

Aleatica reported that on January 31, 2022, the First Modification to the Concession Title of the Atizapán-Atlacomulco Highway, still under construction in Mexico, was signed.

Specifically, the agreed changes include a share to the federal government of revenues above the established threshold.

Thus, once the highway begins operations, the federal government will have the right to participate in the income that exceeds the thresholds determined by the Concession Title, in accordance with the updated and established formulas and financial expectations.

In addition, the first amendment provides for the financial rebalancing of the Concession for the Atizapán-Atlacomulco Highway by extending its validity for an additional 10 years to the original 30-year term, for a total of 40 years.

Summary of Aleatica concessions

Aleatica reported that on January 31, 2022, the First Modification to the Concession Title of the Atizapán-Atlacomulco Highway, still under construction in Mexico, was signed.

The foregoing is intended to reflect the impact of the investments made by the AT-AT Concessionaire for the release of the right of way and allow the recovery of the investments made by it for the development of the project.

At the same time, the first modification recognizes additional investments for an amount of 1,250 million pesos made by the AT-AT Concessionaire to address supervening situations in the execution of the project, including the release of the necessary right of way.

The latter is in line with the 2019-2024 National Development Plan of the federal government, pursuant to which it seeks to encourage private investment, both domestic and foreign, and in compliance with the Concession for the Atizapán-Atlacomulco Highway and applicable laws.

The modifications to the Concession agreed under the first modification do not affect Aleatica’s capacity to comply with its obligations derived from the Concession for the Atizapán-Atlacomulco Highway and/or the financing of which it is a party.
