Mexico City, May 16, 2013 – Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV 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 ICA has elected not to conclude and to postpone the registered public offering of OMA’s Series B shares by Aeroinvest, S.A. de C.V., ICA’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary, because of market conditions.
ICA reiterated its solid financial position and stated that despite meeting strong demand, global market volatility in the past weeks led to the decision to postpone the offering.
