MEXICO CITY, 2013-06-08 04:18 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV:ICA) and (NYSE:ICA), the largest
infrastructure and construction company in Mexico, and Mexican airport operator
Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte, S.A.B. de C.V., known as OMA
(Nasdaq:OMAB); (BMV:OMA), announced today that OMA has commenced an
underwritten secondary public offering, subject to market and other conditions.
OMA is filing a preliminary prospectus supplement with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) and has filed a registration statement and prospectus
with Mexico's National Banking and Securities Commission (Comision Nacional
Bancaria y de Valores, or CNBV) and the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana
de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V., or BMV) relating to the sale of 82,608,696 of its
Series B shares, without par value, directly or in the form of American
Depositary Shares (ADSs), currently held by Aeroinvest, S.A. de C.V.
(Aeroinvest), ICA's indirect wholly owned subsidiary. Each OMA ADS represents
eight Series B shares.
A total of 82,608,696 of OMA's Series B shares (directly or in the form of
ADSs) will be offered for sale through the offering in Mexico and the offering
in the United States and elsewhere outside of Mexico. In addition, as part of
the offering, ICA intends to grant to the international underwriters and the
Mexican underwriters independent options to purchase up to 12,391,304
additional Series B shares. The registered shares represent approximately
23.75% of OMA's total capital stock.
All of the Series B shares and ADSs are being sold by Aeroinvest, which will
receive all the proceeds of the offering. OMA will not receive any proceeds
from the offering, and its total number of outstanding Series B shares will not
change as a result of the offering. ICA expects to retain a significant
participation and the controlling interest in OMA through its ownership of
OMA's Series BB shares.
The international offering of Series B shares (directly or in the form of ADSs)
is being made in the United States and elsewhere outside of Mexico pursuant to
an effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3 filed with the SEC. The
international offering of Series B shares (directly or in the form of ADSs)
will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement and accompanying
prospectus, copies of which may be obtained by contacting BofA Merrill Lynch,

shares registered with the CNBV and BMV is being made in Mexico. The Mexican
registration statement and prospectus are available from the BMV
(www.bmv.com.mx) and the CNBV (www.cnbv.gob.mx).

offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or
other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful
prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
