Relevant Fact
In connection with the announcement made by the company on 11 December 2014 (relevant fact 215204) regarding the development of Abengoa Greenfields strategy through the creation of a joint venture with external equity partners, the Company has reached a non-binding agreement with the infrastructure fund EIG Global Energy Partners, with the objective of jointly investing in a New Company (Newco) for the development of the already contracted portfolio of Abengoas projects under construction that includes conventional generation and renewable energy assets and transmission lines in different geographies including US, Mexico, Brazil and Chile for a total investment amount above 9.5bn USD (including equity and non-recourse debt).
EIG will hold a majority stake in the Newco and, consequently, will consolidate these projects.

The transaction is under due-diligence phase and the objective is to sign a binding agreement by the end of January.
