Ref.: Notification of Significant Event: Fitch Ratings downgrade

Dear Sirs,

The company, OBRASCON HUARTE LAIN, S.A. (OHL), in compliance with current legislation, hereby reports the following:

SIGNIFICANT EVENT

Fitch Ratings has today downgraded the corporate family rating and senior unsecured debt ratings of OHL to CCC+ from B+, with stable outlook.

The Company disagree with the Agency's decision due to the temporary moment in which it occurs and Fitch Ratings has been notified.

Since the final year 2018 results release, the Company is performing according to the expectations of the market, with a progressive recovery on the construction business margins, positive EBITDA figure in all its business lines and a progressive reduction of cash consumption associated with the ordinary activity.

In OHL's opinion, the Company is on the path of recovery and no reasons have been given, in the current fiscal year, that could justify the decision adopted by Fitch ratings agency.

Yours faithfully,

José María del Cuvillo Pemán

Secretary of the Board of Directors
