MEXICO CITY, 2013-07-09 16:12 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 the offering price for OMA's 60,000,000 Series
B shares offered by Aeroinvest, S.A. de C.V. (Aeroinvest), ICA's indirect
wholly owned subsidiary, was fixed at Ps.40.00 per Series B share and
U.S.$24.76 per American Depositary Share (ADS). Each OMA ADS represents eight
Series B shares. Closing is expected to take place on July 12, 2013.
The registered public offering consisted of 60,000,000 Series B shares,
constituting an offer size of approximately U.S.$185.7 million, excluding
options granted to the underwriters to purchase additional Series B shares. The
international offering, in the United States and outside Mexico, consisted of
36,000,000 Series B shares, directly or in the form of ADSs, or 60% of the
Series B shares offered. The Mexican offering consisted of 24,000,000 Series B
shares, or 40% of the Series B shares offered.
The underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase an additional 9,000,000
Series B shares (equivalent to approximately U.S.$27.8 million). Of this total,
5,400,000 Series B shares were allocated to the international underwriters, and
3,600,000 Series B shares were allocated to the Mexican underwriters. The
options may be exercised on a coordinated but independent basis among the
international underwriters and the Mexican underwriters. The Series B shares
being sold, including those subject to this option, total 69 million Series B
shares and represent approximately 17.25% of OMA's capital stock.
All of the Series B shares and ADSs will be 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 and in the form of
ADSs) was 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 and a
prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, copies of which may be
obtained by contacting BofA Merrill Lynch, 222 Broadway, New York, New York,
10038, Attn.: Prospectus Department or by email at

registered with the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission
(Comision Nacional Bancaria y de Valores) and listed for quotation with the BMV
was made in Mexico, pursuant to a prospectus approved by the CNBV. The Mexican
prospectus is available at the internet sites of the BMV (www.bmv.com.mx) and
the CNBV (www.cnbv.gob.mx).
