AMSTERDAM, May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Ferrovial SE ("Ferrovial" or the "Company"), one of
the world's leading infrastructure companies, is pleased to
announce that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
declared its registration statement on Form 20-F effective on
May 8. Ferrovial's ordinary shares
will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") at
the opening of the U.S. market today under the ticker symbol
"FER".
Upon commencement of trading, Ferrovial will become the first
company in the IBEX 35 index to list its ordinary shares on Nasdaq.
The Company has been present in the U.S. for over twenty years,
building a substantial portfolio of infrastructure assets.
The Company's ordinary shares will continue to be listed and
traded, under the ticker symbol "FER", in Spain and in the
Netherlands. The Company also notes that no shares are being
offered as part of the additional U.S. listing.
The admission to trading of Ferrovial's ordinary shares in the
U.S. represents a key step in the Company's internationalization
process and its growth commitment in North America. Ferrovial believes that this
milestone will highlight the value of its assets and projects to
U.S. investors with an interest in the infrastructure sector.
Share buyback program
Following the Company's Nasdaq listing, the Company's share
buyback program announced on April 11,
2024 will be extended to the U.S. markets. The total maximum
net investment under the program is EUR 500
million and the total number of shares repurchased may not
exceed 37,000,000. The program's duration is from May 2, 2024 to December
31, 2024, without prejudice of any extensions by the Company
in view of the prevailing circumstances and such extensions being
in the interest of the Company and its shareholders. The Company
reserves the right to terminate the program prior to its expiry
date if it has either acquired shares under the program for a price
that reaches the maximum investment amount or acquired the maximum
number of shares authorized by such termination date, or due to any
other advisable circumstances. As of May 8,
2024, the Company acquired 600,000 shares under the share
buy-back program, representing an aggregate net investment of
EUR 20,947,283.78.
Repurchases in the U.S. markets under the program may be made in
the open market or otherwise, with the amount and timing depending
on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases
will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable U.S.
federal securities laws, including within the requirements of Rule
10b-18 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. The program does not obligate the Company
to acquire any particular amount of its common stock, and may be
modified, suspended or terminated at any time at the discretion of
the Company.
