MEXICO CITY, 2013-07-08 22:15 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV:ICA) (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 relaunched the underwritten secondary
public offering originally announced on June 7, 2013, subject to market and
other conditions. OMA has filed an updated preliminary prospectus supplement
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). OMA previously 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 offering. Aeroinvest, S.A. de C.V. (Aeroinvest), ICA's indirect
wholly owned subsidiary and the sole selling shareholder, is offering
60,000,000 of OMA's Series B shares, without par value, directly or in the form
of American Depositary Shares (ADSs). Each OMA ADS represents eight Series B
shares.
A total of 60,000,000 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's subsidiary Aeroinvest is granting the international
underwriters and the Mexican underwriters independent options to purchase up to
9,000,000 additional Series B shares. The offered shares represent
approximately 17.25% 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. Following the offering, ICA expects to
retain a significant participation and the controlling interest in OMA through
its ownership of OMA's Series BB shares.
BofA Merrill Lynch is the global coordinator and a joint bookrunner for the
international offering, and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., Santander
Investment Securities Inc., Barclays Capital Inc. and Morgan Stanley&Co. LLC

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)
