Therefore, the share capital of Ferrovial has been reduced in the amount of 2,892,132.20 euro, through the redemption of 14,460,661 own shares. The share capital resulting from the reduction has been set at 146,580,475.20 euro, corresponding to 732,902,376 shares of 0.20 euro par value each.

Consequently, in accordance with this provision, the Company’s creditors will not have the right to oppose referred to in article 334 of the Capital Companies Act in connection with the capital reduction.
