MOTA-ENGIL is in the last stages of negotiation of a Partnership and Investment Agreement with one of the largest infrastructures groups in the world (top five), with significant activity worldwide, aiming the New Partner to become a relevant shareholder and a long-term partner of MOTA-ENGIL.

  • • Will be committed to subscribe a relevant stake in a share capital increase of up to 100 million new shares that will be submitted for deliberation in a General Meeting, to be called shortly.

Following such share capital increase:

  • • MGP will have a stake of c. 40% of MOTA-ENGIL, showing a full commitment and alignment with its historical position in the Company;
  • • The New Partner will reach a stake slightly above 30%.

This new configuration and the framework of this partnership, which is based on a Group´s valuation of circa €750 million, will enhance the financial, technical and commercial capabilities of MOTA-ENGIL in order to upscale its activities in all markets and will open new opportunities for further developments.

MOTA-ENGIL, as the leading Portuguese infrastructure multinational group, will strengthen its commitment, based on its 75-year culture and corporate values, towards its clients, employees, communities, environment and all other stakeholders.
