CORPORATE

ROADIS has bought Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners’ (MSIP) stake in the NH2, NH6 and NH8—a new breakthrough in its growth strategy. Until now, ROADIS managed 25.5% of these highways. Following the closure of this transaction, ROADIS now controls the 50% of each of them. The other 50% is managed by the Indian infrastructure company SOMA Enterprises.

The Real Madrid Foundation (FRM) and the Indian Institute for Mother and Child (IIMC) have renewed their collaboration agreement. In 2016, ROADIS sponsored one of their flagship projects in the Kheadah Social Sports School (Calcutta). ROADIS, as official sponsor of project, participated in the event in which the FRM and the IIMC signed the agreement. During this event, the FRM and the IIMC thanked ROADIS for its collaboration. In addition, ROADIS´ CEO, José Antonio Labarra, said that “India is an especially important country for ROADIS; we are very proud of this agreement because collaborating with the IIMC and the FRM has been an awesome opportunity for us to develop our sustainability strategy”.

The Real Madrid Foundation organized its 3rd annual event for sponsors and collaborators: a speed dating seven-a-side football tournament for companies that support its international projects. The event gathered together 150 players from 12 companies: La Caixa Foundation, UPS, Colgate, Globalvia, Ecopilas, the Inter-American Development Bank, Real Madrid Foundation, Liberbank, Ecovidrio, Banco Santander, El Corte Inglés, and ROADIS.

ROADIS has reached an agreement to acquire stakes in Auto Estradas do Atlântico (AEA), and Auto Estradas do Litoral Oeste (AELO). This acquisition marks ROADIS’ entry into Portugal, a market with a mature and established concession framework that is well known to ROADIS´ senior management team due to their experience in the region. The acquisition of the stakes in AEA and AELO increases ROADIS' exposure to developed markets, providing enhanced diversification to the portfolio. Following closure of the transaction, ROADIS' portfolio will include 10 road concessions situated in six countries across three continents.

On December of 2017 our Chairman, Patrick Samson and Real Madrid’s Director of Institutional Relations, Emilio Butragueño, signed a collaboration agreement through which ROADIS extended its support to the Real Madrid Foundation (FRM) for the development of social and sports projects in India. The agreement was signed in the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in a ceremony chaired by Enrique Sánchez, Executive Vice Chairman of the Real Madrid Foundation. In 2017, in addition to our collaboration with projects by the Institute for Indian Mother and Child (IIMC) in Kheadah (Calcutta), we are also supporting the Hope and Joy Foundation in the State of Kerala, with the excitement of becoming reference partner of the FRM in India.

As the result of an agreement signed in November of 2016, ROADIS is collaborating with the Real Madrid Foundation in the development of the Kheadah Social Sports School in the south of Calcutta. As part of this project, on January 17, 2017, our SBU Asia Head, Nithya Appakudal, accompanied by the Head of Finance of Asia, Alvaro Santos, visited the school in Calcutta. The visit was also attended by the President of the Institute for Indian Mother and Child (IIMC) in Spain, José Muriana, the Director of the International Area of the Real Madrid Foundation (FRM), Rosa Roncal and the founder and Director of the IIMC, Dr. Sujit Brahmochary.

This donation was made in cooperation with the Heal the World for Children association, presided by Laura Serrano, which aims to facilitate the personal and academic development of the children at this foster home.
