• The proceeds from the sale of the stake in the mining services
company STRACON GyM will be used to pay the debt with the financial
creditors of GyM S.A., which is the construction company of the
Graña y Montero Group.
• With regard to Law 30737, recently approved by Congress in
replacement of the Emergency Decree 003, Graña y Montero informed
that it is awaiting the publication of its regulation to constitute
the established trust, currently having a preliminary list of
possible assets that add up to US$ 150 million for that
purpose.
Graña y Montero S.A.A. (NYSE:GRAM) (BVL:GRAMONC1) (“the Company”
or “Graña y Montero”) a leading Engineering and Construction
company, announced that GyM S.A. has signed a sale contract for its
87.59% stake in STRACON GyM, a company specialized in contract
mining services, for an approximate amount of US$ 77 million. The
closing of the transaction is scheduled to materialize within a
maximum period of ten business days.
It should be noted that the total amount received by the Graña y
Montero Group, as a result of the asset sales has been and will be
used to comply with the obligations that the Group has with
financial institutions. In line with the aforementioned, all of the
proceeds from this sale will be used to amortize the senior
financial obligations of GyM S.A. with Scotiabank Perú S.A.A.
(derived from the Loan Agreement of July 14, 2015) and, partially,
its financial obligations to the creditors of the Syndicated Line
(Banco de Crédito del Perú, Scotiabank, Interbank, Citibank Perú
and BBVA), reducing 55% of the debt of the construction company
with the financial system.
With this asset sale, the Graña y Montero Group would be
fulfilling the purpose of strengthening its construction company.
Luis Diaz Olivero, the Group's CEO, said: "STRACON GyM was one of
the assets that the Group evaluated to sell within the debt
reduction process announced in 2017. By using these cash flows to
reduce GyM's debt we are financially strengthening our construction
company, which is currently facing credit restrictions from banking
entities, just like the rest of companies in the sector."
With regard to Law 30737, recently approved by Congress in
replacement of Emergency Decree 003, Graña y Montero informed that
it is awaiting the publication of its regulation to constitute the
established trust, currently having a preliminary list of possible
assets that amount to US$ 150 million for this purpose.
Similarly, Díaz Olivero said that with the divestment in STRACON
GyM, the construction company will have greater facilities to focus
on the large contracts for engineering, procurement and
construction of the mining sector, thanks to its experience and
expertise. "Graña y Montero has developed more than 50 mining
projects, has assembled 20 concentrator plants, including the
largest copper concentrator plant in the world. With our new
approach, the team will be able to concentrate on what we know
best, which is the engineering and construction of mining projects,
adding more value to the sector,” he concluded.
