RISK FACTORS

The Issuer believes that the following factors may affect its ability to fulfil its obligations under the Bonds. All of

these factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and the Issuer is not in a position to express a view

on the likelihood of any such contingency occurring.

Factors which the Issuer believes may be material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with

the Bonds are also described below.

The Issuer believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in the

Bonds, but the Issuer may be unable to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with the

Bonds for other reasons, and the Issuer does not represent that the statements below regarding the risks of

holding the Bonds are exhaustive. Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out

elsewhere in this Offering Circular (including any documents incorporated by reference herein) and reach their

own views prior to making any investment decision. Prospective investors should note that the risks relating to

the Issuer, its industry and the Bonds summarised in the section of this document headed "Transaction

Overview" are the risks that the Issuer believes to be the most essential to an assessment by a prospective

investor of whether to consider an investment in the Bonds.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE ISSUER AND PROJECT

The Issuer has limited business operations and sources of funds

The Issuer is a special purpose vehicle with no business operations other than those in relation to the

construction, operation and maintenance of the Project. Following the Closing Date, the Issuer's principal

sources of funds to meet its obligations under the Bonds will be revenues generated by the Project. Other than

such amounts, the Issuer will not have any other funds available to it to meet its obligations under the Bonds.

Insufficiency of the level of cover provided by the Construction Performance Bonds

Under the Construction Contract, the Contractor assumes, subject to agreed liability caps in certain cases, all

risks, responsibilities, terms, conditions, rights and obligations related to the Works established for the Issuer

under the Concession Agreement. See the sections of this Offering Circular headed "Description of the Project"

and "Description of the Concession Agreement and Construction Contract".

The Contractor has posted Construction Performance Bonds (as defined in the section of this Offering Circular

headed "Description of the Concession Agreement and the Construction Contract") to secure its obligations

under the Construction Contract. However, amounts payable under the Construction Performance Bonds may be

insufficient to satisfy the potential liability to the Issuer in the event the Contractor does not fulfil its obligations

under the Construction Contract. In such event, the Issuer would be responsible for any amount in excess due to

the Authority, which could adversely affect the Issue’s ability to make payments under the Bonds.

Early termination of the Concession Agreement

According to the LCSP (as defined below), there are a number of early termination events which entitle the

parties to terminate the Concession Agreement: extinguishment of the legal personality of the Issuer; the

declaration of insolvency; mutual agreement by the parties; Issuer's delay in meeting its deadlines; failure to

comply with any essential obligation under the Concession Agreement; the Authority's delay for more than eight

months in complying with its payment obligations; and certain force majeure events. See the section of this

Offering Circular headed "Description of the Regulatory Regime".

The Concession Agreement provides that, on early termination of the Concession Agreement (for any reason),

the Issuer has a right to be compensated by the Authority for the amount (importe) of its investment (in relation

to the expropriation of the Land, execution of the construction Works and acquisition of the goods that are

necessary for the operation of the Concession Agreement), taking into account depreciation in relation to the

16

time pending for the termination of the Concession Agreement and the economic and financial plan. The

resulting amount has to be determined within a six-month period.

The concept of compensation for the amount of the investment is not defined in the regulatory framework

applicable to the Project, nor does the regulatory framework establish a methodology for determining it. In an

early termination scenario, the Issuer expects that the Authority would determine the early termination payment

by reference to the economic and financial plan which makes reference to the financial statements of the Issuer.

However, absent any guidelines, there can be no assurances as to how the calculations for determining the early

termination payment shall be carried out by the Authority. One approach would be for the early termination

payment to be determined by reference to the book value of the assets as they appear in the Issuer's financial

statements, but a more conservative calculation would also be possible (whereby the book value of the assets is

estimated with a different account and depreciation method to that used by the Issuer).

In case of termination for reasons attributable to the Authority, the Authority shall also compensate the Issuer

for any damages caused to it. In order to determine the amount of compensation due, in accordance with law,

the future profits that the Issuer will fail to receive should be taken into account, based on operating results of

the last five years where possible, and the loss of value of the works and installations that shall not be delivered

to the Authority, considering the level of depreciation. However, there are no specific guidelines determined by

the law or Spanish Supreme Court decisions.

If the Concession Agreement is terminated for reasons attributable to the Issuer, the Concession Performance

Bond (as defined in the section of this Offering Circular headed "Description of the Concession Agreement and

the Construction Contract") shall be enforced and the Issuer shall indemnify the Authority for any damages

incurred in excess of the amount obtained from the enforcement of the Concession Performance Bond.

In case of events of force majeure that result in the termination of the Concession Agreement, the Authority

shall compensate the Issuer for the works already carried out and the higher cost in which the Issuer has incurred

into as a result of the indebtedness with third parties.

The Authority's estimate of amounts payable to the Issuer upon early termination may be less than the Issuer's

estimate, which could result in the Issuer receiving insufficient funds to satisfy its payment obligations under a

mandatory early redemption scenario. Under applicable law, the Authority is empowered to make the final

determination of the amount payable to the Issuer and, as a result, the amounts payable by the Authority upon

early termination may not be sufficient or sufficiently timely to enable the Issuer to meet its payment obligations

under the Bonds on a timely basis.

Force majeure

Various events are characterised in the Concession Agreement as force majeure events, principally war,

earthquakes and flooding, which directly cause the Issuer to be unable to comply with all or a material part of its

obligations under the agreement. Upon the occurrence of a force majeure event, the Issuer will be relieved from

liability to the extent that it is unable to perform its obligations. In case of force majeure events that completely

impede the execution of the Issuer's obligations under the Concession Agreement, the Concession Agreement

will be terminated and the Authority shall compensate the Issuer as set forth above.

In the event that the term of the Concession Agreement is suspended due to a force majeure event, the

Availability Payments expected to be received for such term may be adjusted as the Issuer will only be paid for

the operations carried out. Although, in such a situation, the Issuer may be able to recover Availability Payments

through an extension of the term of the Concession Agreement, its ability to make timely payments on the

Bonds may be adversely affected.

Events not covered by insurance policies

Although the Issuer is required to subscribe and maintain at its expense insurance policies throughout the term

of the Concession Agreement with respect to the Works (including contractors’ "all risks" insurance, accident

17

cover insurance, civil liability insurance and property damage insurance), events may occur that may not be

covered by those policies.

Environmental risk

Under the Concession Agreement, any environmental risk that arises during the operation phase of the

Concession or related to major overhauls, which may be required for keeping the infrastructure suitable for its

use during the term of the Concession or the conservation of the infrastructure since the moment in which it is

put into service after the first works are finished, shall be the responsibility of the Issuer. Therefore, once the

maintenance depot and service area have been received by the Issuer, the Contractor will no longer be

responsible for site condition and security.

In addition, pollution cover is provided under the Project's insurance policies. To the extent that the Contractor

is not liable to indemnify the Issuer and there is no insurance cover, the Issuer may have a residual risk in

respect of environmental liabilities.

Handback

The Concession Agreement provides that the Works are to be handed back to the Authority following the

termination or expiration of the Concession Agreement in a working condition sufficiently perfect to provide the

services and complying with the quality of service indicators without any deduction or infringement. In relation

to this, the Authority may carry out inspections in the area of the Concession as to determine the compliance by

the Issuer of its obligations under the Concession Agreement. Inspections may be carried out only during the

term of the Concession.

Failure to satisfy this condition could result in the liability of the Issuer to the Authority under the Concession

Agreement. Any such expenses in excess of budgeted amounts could adversely affect the Issuer's ability to

make payments under the Bonds.

Expropriations costs

Pursuant to the Construction Contract, the Issuer must make available to the Contractor all land required for the

development of the Works (the Lands). On the date of execution of the Construction Contract, and following

the relevant expropriation procedure legally established, the Issuer had obtained legal availability to provide

access for the Contractor of all Lands affected by the Works.

To run the expropriation processes, the Issuer has appointed a third party, Inserinco, s.l.,an experienced

company in relation to expropriation on road projects in Spain to undertake the expropriation. The Issuer has

been able to secure prices with 94% of landowners through mutual agreement with 100% access secured. For

the remaining 74 landowners who did not accept the mutual agreement, expropriations will be processed via an

administrative procedure which could ultimately go before an administrative jury. The Issuer has established a

worst case budget where: (i) prices proposed by landowners are accepted; and (ii) where no proposal is put

forward, the budgeted amount equals three times historical prices. Each of the Shareholders of the Issuer has put

in place an Expropriation Letter of Credit with a top tier European bank to cover what the Issuer estimates to be

the worst case amount that the Issuer might have to pay under these proceedings.

However, amounts payable under the expropriation process may exceed the amounts covered under the

Expropriation Letters of Credit. In such event, the Issuer would be responsible for any amount in excess due to

the landlords which could adversely affect the Issuer’s ability to make payments under the Bonds.

Availability Payments

Availability Payments will be made on a monthly basis by the Public Works Ministry (Ministerio de Fomento)

and therefore are a direct obligation of the Spanish Government. The Issuer is exposed to the credit quality of

the Kingdom of Spain and the willingness of the Government to continue to make its contractual availability

payments which could impact the Issuer's ability to make timely payments of the Bonds.

18

Availability Payment Deductions

The Issuer has prepared a Financial Model analysing the amounts and timing of receipt of payments under the

Concession Agreement and payments due to the Contractor and in respect of debt service, which has resulted in

an expectation that the Issuer will always have sufficient excess revenues to meet the cover ratios set out in the

Concession Agreement and to meet its payment obligations to Bondholders. Availability Payments may be

reduced if the Issuer fails to meet certain quality of service indicators and availability of road sections indicators

specified in the Concession Agreement, subject to certain grace periods and other reliefs/exceptions. In

circumstances where there is a service shortfall, and deductions and/or penalties are incurred under the

Concession Agreement, then the risk of deductions and/or penalties will fall on the Issuer.

In relation to the above, during the exploitation phase, the penalties to be imposed by the Authority (which will

be deducted from the Availability Payments) cannot exceed 20% of the income obtained for the operation of the

Road during the prior year. If such limits are exceeded, the Authority may terminate the Concession Agreement.

The 20% limit applies to all penalties and is separate from the readjustments to the Monthly Fee.

Where the deductions and/or penalties arise from any activities of the Contractor, responsibility for such

deductions and/or penalties will be passed to the Contractor subject to the agreed limitations on liability (which

are subject to certain specified exclusions). In other circumstances, this risk may reduce the Issuer's revenues

which may adversely affect the Issuer's ability to make payments on the Bonds.

Indexation

Under the Concession Agreement, 85% of the value of the monthly Availability Payments is indexed based on

the Spanish National Consumer Price Index (Índice de Precios al Consumidor) (CPI). This index is calculated

by the Spanish National Statistics Institute (Instituto Nacional de Estadística) and measures variations in prices

of a selected group of goods and services typically consumed by Spanish families. As a result, the index may not

precisely reflect variations in prices of the goods and services required by the Issuer to satisfy its operations and

maintenance obligations. There is a risk that the indexation factor as calculated under the Concession

Agreement will not fully reflect the underlying price inflation of the Project's operating costs. The Issuer's cost

of financing is fixed and therefore in a deflationary scenario revenues will reduce in line with the indexed

payments which will reduce the debt service coverage ratios. This risk is borne by the Issuer and could result in

the Issuer's available cash flow being insufficient to meet its payment obligations in respect of the Bonds on a

timely basis.

No recourse against contractors

None of the Contractor, its sub-contractors or the sub-contractors of the Issuer has any obligation to make

payments under the Bonds or otherwise compensate the Bondholders for any unpaid amount under the Bonds

and as such the Bondholders will have no recourse against any of them.

Quality of Service Indicators

Individual Quality of Service (QoS) indicators have prescribed correction factors covering quality of Roads,

safety, accidents and lane availability. Any correction factor will be applied monthly until such time as the

performance is recovered and the QoS indicator is met. The operation and maintenance strategy of the Issuer is

designed to mitigate the risk of failing QoS requirements. Penalties may be applicable if rectification of the QoS

indicator factor is not completed within the prescribed timescales. Both penalties and the correction factor could

be applied concurrently, in case of underperformance. Lane closures beyond the control of the Issuer should not

incur penalties if reacted to within prescribed timescales. The operation and maintenance strategy of the Issuer is

to conduct regular inspections of the asset quality and adherence to the QoS standards which should minimise

the level of penalties applicable. Penalties could be applicable on a case by case basis for scenarios not subject

to performance indicators under the QoS requirements.

19

The Issuer's advisers have calculated that the penalties could range between 5% and 26% of the Monthly Fee,

depending on the severity of the breach. If penalties are applied, this could adversely affect the Issuer's ability to

make payments under the Bonds.

Dependence on third parties

The Issuer is a party to contracts with a number of other third parties that have agreed to perform certain

services in relation to the Bonds (e.g. financial institutions and insurance companies). Disruptions in such

services or failures by such third parties to carry out these services could require the Issuer to obtain

replacement services, which may be more costly or unavailable. The inability of the Issuer to obtain the

provision of such services could have an adverse effect on its ability to make payments under the Bonds and/or

early redemption of the Bonds.

Change in Law

Poor economic conditions have affected, and continue to affect, government budgets and threaten the

continuation of government subsidies such as feed-in tariffs, tax benefits and other similar subsidies that benefit

the Issuer’s business. Such conditions may also lead to adverse changes in law, such as the amendments to the

Spanish tax law affecting the Issuer's ability to deduct finance costs. The reduction or elimination of such

subsidies or adverse changes in law could have a material adverse impact on the profitability of the Project and

therefore on the Issuer's ability to make payments under the Bonds.

Increase of operating and maintenance costs

As costs are not fixed via a contract, the Issuer is exposed to fluctuations in the price and supply of items

required for the operation and maintenance of the Project. The ability to outsource in the future and the

experience of the Contractor mitigates this risk; however, they do not fully eliminate the Issuer's exposure to

commodity prices and supply risk, which could materially and adversely affect the profitability of the Project

and therefore could adversely affect the Issuer's ability to make payments under the Bonds.

There is a risk that the expected timing of maintenance expenditure will change due to defects found in the

future or higher than expected traffic volumes. Under the Construction Contract, there is a one year warranty for

defective materials from the Contractor and unlimited liability of the Contractor in relation to the repairs and

remedies of the defects set forth in the Acta de Comprobación de Obras or that are noticed after the signing of

the Acta de Comprobación de Obras and that, pursuant to the Concession Agreement, the Terms of Tender and

the applicable legislation, shall be borne by the Issuer. Traffic forecasts have been provided by the Authority,

and forecasted traffic is well below the design level of the Project assets.

Health and safety regulations

The Issuer is responsible for complying with all health and safety regulations regarding the development of the

Project. However, under the Construction Contract, this risk will be passed down to the Contractor (subject to its

overall caps on liability). See “Description of the Concession Agreement and the Construction Contract-

Penalties and Limitation of liability”).To the extent that, due to the caps on liability of the Contractor, there is a

remaining amount to pay in relation to penalties imposed by the Authority or the Authority decides to terminate

the Concession Agreement, the Issuer may have a residual risk which could adversely affect the Issuer's ability

to make payments under the Bonds.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE SECURITY

The Bonds will not be secured initially

The Bonds will not be secured initially by the Security under the Initial Security Documents. Although the

Issuer and the Shareholders executed the Initial Security Documents on the Closing Date, the validity and

effectiveness of such documents are subject to (i) the fulfilment of a condition subsequent (condición

suspensiva) (which shall be attested by the Notary through the relevant annotation (diligencia) on the Initial

20

Security Documents) and completion of certain other perfection requirements. That condition subsequent

requires (i) that Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (BBVA) (as settlement agent) issues a certificate

confirming that BBVA has made the relevant payments to Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (as operative

agent) under the commercial facility agreement and to Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. and to Banco

Santander, S.A. (as swap providers) under the Hedging Agreements and (ii) that EIB has confirmed to the

Notary (by email) the receipt of the relevant payment made by BBVA.

Under the Conditions, the Issuer has undertaken to ensure that the Security is as described in paragraph (b) of

Condition 3 (Security) by no later than 1 June 2015 at 23:59 Madrid time. However, the Issuer cannot assure

that the condition subsequent will be fulfilled on the Closing Date or by this deadline, in which case the Security

under the Initial Security Documents would not be granted.

Insolvency of the Issuer before the granting of Security

As mentioned above, the Security will not be valid and effective until the fulfilment of the condition subsequent

and completion of certain other perfection requirements.

Furthermore, under section 90.2 of the Spanish Insolvency Law, the Security in order to be recognised in the

lists of creditors and assets should be valid and enforceable against third parties when the insolvency

proceedings are opened. However, according to article 1120 of Spanish Civil Code, if the condition is fulfilled,

the relevant Court would analyse since when the obligation under condition precedent is considered to be

binding which includes the possibility of considering to be retroactively binding since the very first moment in

which the obligation was granted if all the requirements were met at that moment (although under condition

precedent). We are not aware of any precedent in Spanish Insolvency Proceedings of the recognition of the

securities under condition precedent which are fulfilled after insolvency declaration. Hence, in case of

insolvency of the Issuer after the Closing Date and before the condition subsequent is fulfilled, the Bondholders

would face a risk of not benefitting from the Security within the insolvency proceedings (concurso), depending

on the construction of the relevant Court to be made between article 90.2 of the Spanish Insolvency Law and

article 1120 of the Spanish Civil Code.

Enforcement of Security may be affected by restrictions under Spanish insolvency law

Spanish insolvency law foresees a suspension of the enforcement powers held by creditors holding securities in

the event of insolvency of the debtor.

Article 5bis of the Spanish Insolvency Law 22/2003 of 9 July (the Spanish Insolvency Law) (Ley Concursal)

states that if a debtor notifies the commercial court (Juzgado de lo Mercantil) that it has started negotiating with

its creditors in order to obtain their approval regarding: (i) a refinancing agreement as referred to under article

71.bis.1 of the Spanish Insolvency Law; (ii) a refinancing agreement as referred to under the Fourth Additional

Provision (Disposición Adicional Cuarta) of the Spanish Insolvency Law; or (iii) an advance proposal of

arrangement between creditors (propuesta anticipada de convenio), its obligation to file an application for

volunteer insolvency shall be suspended for three months. Following those three months, the debtor will have an

additional period of one month to submit such application.

As from the date of such notice and during such pre-insolvency period, no court or out-of-court enforcement

proceedings of securities over any assets or rights of the debtor that are necessary for the continuity of its

business may be initiated, and those legal proceedings initiated prior to such notice shall be suspended.

Nevertheless, public law claims shall not be subject to this enforcement limitation.

In addition, no individual financial creditor may initiate enforcement actions against the debtor (and those

already initiated shall be suspended) if creditors holding at least 51% of the financial liabilities against the

debtor have expressly agreed to start negotiating with the debtor in order to arrange a refinancing agreement and

have also agreed not to file or continue enforcement actions against the debtor while the debtor and its creditors

are still negotiating.

21

Despite the foregoing, secured creditors will still be entitled to bring court or out-of-court enforcement

proceedings against the corresponding secured assets. However, once proceedings have been initiated, they shall

be immediately suspended.

Once the debtor is declared insolvent, enforcement of security over any assets of the debtor which are necessary

for the continuity of its business shall be suspended until the earliest of the following occurs: (i) the approval of

an arrangement between creditors, unless such agreement is binding on those secured creditors, in which case

the provisions under such agreement will apply; and (ii) in case the liquidation period has not been initiated, the

first anniversary of the declaration of insolvency. Enforcement shall be suspended even if, at the time of the

declaration of insolvency, the relevant notices of public auction have been published. The suspension may be

lifted or the commencement of enforcement proceedings may be possible if a court resolution which considers

that the charged asset is not necessary for the continuity of the debtor's business is obtained from the judge in

charge of the debtor's insolvency proceedings. Although, for the purposes of such declaration, the Spanish

Insolvency Law points out that those shares or participations in companies whose only activity is the holding of

one asset and the liabilities deemed necessary for its financing shall not be deemed necessary for the continuity

of the debtor's business, provided that the enforcement of securities over those shares or participations does not

lead to a termination event or an amending event that allows the insolvent debtor to maintain development of the

relevant asset, the interpretation of the corresponding Article of the Spanish Insolvency Law is controversial and

there are multiple interpretations between scholars and the existing case law. Finally, the enforcement of

Securities shall be subject to Spanish law and, in particular, to the Spanish Insolvency Law, when applicable,

which may lead to delays in enforcement.

Enforcement of Security may be affected by the appointment of a Security Agent

The Bondholders shall not have any individual powers in order to enforce any Security granted in respect of the

Bonds, except through the Security Agent, who shall enforce these rights following the instructions of the Bond

Trustee given in accordance with the Security Trust and Subordination Deed. Given that Spanish law does not

recognise the concept of a "security agent", there is uncertainty as to whether a Spanish court would recognise

the concept and authority of the Security Agent and whether this could eventually cause delays in the

enforcement of Security or prevent its enforcement in the terms stated under the Initial Security Documents.

Some lawyers maintain that a security agent would only be entitled to enforce Security to the extent that it

secures its part of the secured obligations, but not as per the part of the remaining creditors' secured obligations.

The Security Agent may be required to provide evidence of its representation of all the Secured Creditors in

order to enforce the Security. Therefore, validity and enforceability of the Security granted in favour of the

Bondholders through the Security Agent may be subject to certain limitations.

Release and registration of the non-possessory pledges over credit rights

Pursuant to Article 3 of Law 16 December 1954 on Chattel Mortgage and Non-possessory pledges (the Non-

Possessory Pledge Law), both the release of the Spanish law non-possessory pledges granted in relation to the

Existing Financing and the granting of the new Spanish law non-possessory pledge in relation to the Bonds have

to be executed before a Spanish notary and be formalised by virtue of a public deed (escritura pública) or a deed

(póliza). Both the release of the Spanish non-possessory pledges granted in relation to the Existing Financing

and the granting of the new Spanish non-possessory pledge have been executed subject to the condition

subsequent, as described above.

Once the condition subsequent is fulfilled, in order to be effective, Article 3 of the Non-Possessory Pledge Law

provides that the release of the Spanish non-possessory pledges granted in relation to the Existing Financing and

the granting of the new Spanish non-possessory pledge have to be registered with the corresponding Registry of

Moveable Assets (Registro de Bienes Muebles). Furthermore, pursuant to Article 418 of the Mortgage

Regulation (Reglamento Hipotecario) and Article 71 of the Non-Possessory Pledge Law, the Spanish notary

before whom the release of the Spanish non-possessory pledges granted in relation to the Existing Financing and

the new Spanish non-possessory pledge in relation to the Bonds have been granted, once executed, must send a

22

notice (comunicación) of the execution of such documents to the relevant Registry of Moveable Assets by

telefax on the Closing Date and in the corresponding order (i.e. the release of the Spanish non-possessory

pledges granted in relation to the Existing Financing will be sent first and immediately after the granting of the

new Spanish non-possessory pledge).

The recipient registrar shall make an annotation of document submission (asiento de presentación) (the

Annotation) on the Registry of Moveable Assets records. This will be done before any analysis by the

corresponding registrar is carried out on the submitted documents in order to reserve priority. The Annotation of

the documents will be made by order of reception (firstly the release of the Spanish non-possessory pledges

granted in relation to the Existing Financing, secondly the granting of the new Spanish non-possessory pledge)

on the date the corresponding telefax is received or, in case the telefax is received after the Moveable Assets

Registry business hours, on the business day immediately after. Pursuant to Article 24 of the Mortgage Law

(Ley Hipotecaria), which applies to non-possessory pledges in those aspects non expressly regulated in the Non-

Possessory Pledge Law, the date on which the Annotation is made will become the date of (retroactive) effective

registration of both the release of the Spanish non-possessory pledges granted in relation to the Existing Facility

and of the new Spanish non-possessory pledge once the registrar, after having reviewed the relevant documents,

effects their registration.

Under Article 17 of the Mortgage Law, the Annotation will protect against registration of any other document

that is contradictory to the terms of the document(s) being considered by the Moveable Asset Registry (for

example, a new non-possessory pledge) for a period of 60 business days.

As explained above, the perfection of the new Spanish non-possessory pledge is subject to its registration in the

relevant Movable Assets Registry. Spanish registrars are highly qualified law officers who will only accept

registration of the relevant documents upon examination of their conformity with mandatory Spanish law and

the relevant registrar may refuse to register such documents, or any amendment, assignment or transfer thereof

if he or she considers the documents have any rectifiable defects (defectos subsanables).

If, when analysing the new Spanish non-possessory pledge, the relevant registrar ascertains that it contains

rectifiable defects, pursuant to Article 38 of the Regulations on the Registration of the Chattle Mortgage and

Non-Possessory Pledge (Reglamento del Registro de Hipoteca Mobiliaria y Prenda sin Desplazamiento) and the

Third Additional Provision of the Non-Possessory Pledge Law, the Annotation will be automatically extended

for an additional period of 60 business days since the date on which the registrar’s assessment containing the

rectifiable defects is issued. The 60 business day’s period may be extended to 180 business days upon written

request to the Registrar.

Accordingly, the Security may be affected as follows:

(a) The release of the Spanish non-possessory pledges in relation to the Existing Financing and the

granting of the new Spanish non-possessory pledge must be registered with the corresponding

Moveable assets Registry in order to become effective.

(b) If the Spanish non-possessory pledges in relation to the Existing Financing are not released, the new

Spanish non-possessory pledge will rank second to the existing one.

(c) If the Registrar does not register the non-possessory pledges in relation to the Existing Financing right

away but requires further explanations/documentation, the analysis of the new non-possessory pledge

will be suspended until registration of the release is effective.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO TAXATION

Certain payments in respect of the Bonds may be impacted by the EU Savings Directive

Under Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the taxation of savings income (the EU Savings Directive), Member

States of the European Union (the EU Member States and each an EU Member State) are required to provide

to the tax authorities of other EU Member States details of certain payments of interest or similar income paid or

23

secured by a person established in an EU Member State to or for the benefit of an individual resident in another

EU Member State or certain limited types of entities established in another EU Member State.

For a transitional period, Austria is required (unless during that period it elects otherwise) to operate a

withholding system in relation to such payments (subject to a procedure whereby, on meeting certain conditions,

the beneficial owner of the interest or other income may request that no tax be withheld). The end of the

transitional period is dependent upon the conclusion of certain other agreements relating to information

exchange with certain other countries. A number of non-EU countries and territories, including Switzerland,

have adopted similar measures (a withholding system in the case of Switzerland).

On 24 March 2014, the Council of the European Union adopted a Council Directive (the Amending Directive)

amending and broadening the scope of the requirements described above. The Amending Directive requires EU

Member States to apply these new requirements from 1 January 2017, and if they were to take effect the

changes would expand the range of payments covered by the EU Savings Directive, in particular to include

additional types of income payable on securities. The Amending Directive would also expand the circumstances

in which payments that indirectly benefit an individual resident in an EU Member State must be reported or

subject to withholding. This approach would apply to payments made to, or secured for, persons, entities or

legal arrangements (including trusts) where certain conditions are satisfied, and may in some cases apply where

the person, entity or arrangement is established or effectively managed outside of the European Union.

However, on March 2015, the European Commission proposed the repeal of the Savings Directive from 1

January 2017 in the case of Austria and from 1 January 2016 in the case of all other Member States (subject to

ongoing requirements to fulfil administrative obligations such as the reporting and exchange of information

relating to, and accounting for withholding taxes on, payments made before those dates and certain other

transitional provisions in the case of Austria). This is to prevent overlap between the Savings Directive and a

new automatic exchange of information regime to be implemented under Council Directive 2011/16/EU on

Administrative Cooperation in the field of Taxation (as amended by Council Directive 2014/107/EU). The

proposal also provides that, if it proceeds, Member States will not be required to apply the new requirements of

the Amending Directive.

If a payment were to be made or collected through an EU Member State (or any non-EU country or territory

which has adopted similar measures in order to conform to the EU Savings Directive) which applies a

withholding tax system as referred to above and an amount of, or in respect of, tax were to be withheld from that

payment, neither the Issuer nor any Agent (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Bonds) nor any other

person would be obliged to pay additional amounts with respect to any Bond as a result of the imposition of

such withholding tax. The Issuer will be required to maintain a Agent in an EU Member State (if any) that

would not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to the relevant national legislation implementing, or

introduced in order to conform to, the EU Savings Directive (so long as there was such a member state).

Potential investors who are in any doubt as to their tax position should consult their own independent tax

advisers.

The proposed financial transactions tax (FTT)

On 14 February 2013, the European Commission published a proposal (the Commission's Proposal) for a

Directive for a common FTT in Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Portugal,

Slovenia and Slovakia (the participating Member States).

The Commission's Proposal has very broad scope and could, if introduced, apply to certain dealings in the

Bonds (including secondary market transactions) in certain circumstances.

Under the Commission's Proposal, the FTT could apply in certain circumstances to persons both within and

outside the participating Member States. Generally, it would apply to certain dealings in the Bonds where at

least one party is a financial institution, and at least one party is established in a participating Member State. A

financial institution may be, or be deemed to be, "established" in a participating Member State in a broad range

24

of circumstances, including: (i) by transacting with a person established in a participating Member State; and (ii)

where the financial instrument which is subject to the dealings is issued in a participating Member State.

Joint statements issued by participating Member States indicate an intention to implement the FTT by 1 January

2016.

However, the FTT proposal remains subject to negotiation between the participating Member States, and the

scope of any such tax is uncertain. Additional EU Member States may decide to participate.

Prospective holders of the Bonds are advised to seek their own professional advice in relation to the FTT.

Payments made in respect of the Bonds may be subject to the Spanish withholding tax

Article 44 of Royal Decree 1065/2007, of 27 July 2007, as amended by Royal Decree 1145/2011, of 29 July

2011, (Royal Decree 1065/2007) sets out the reporting obligations applicable to preference shares and debt

instruments issued under Law 10/2014, dated 26 June 2014, on regulation, supervision and solvency of credit

institutions (Law 10/2014). The procedures apply to interest deriving from preferred securities (participaciones

preferentes) and debt instruments to which Law 10/2014 refers, including debt instruments issued at a discount

for a period equal to or less than 12 months.

According to section 4 of article 44 of Royal Decree 1065/2007, income derived from securities originally

registered with Iberclear will be paid by the Issuer, net of Spanish withholding tax (currently at a rate of 20%, to

be reduced to 19% as from 1 January 2016 onwards), if the recipient of the payment is an individual resident in

Spain for tax purposes and subject to Spanish Personal Income Tax. The Issuer will not pay any additional

amounts in respect of any such withholding tax.

However, interest payments made by the Issuer in respect of the Bonds for the benefit of non-Spanish tax

resident investors, or for the benefit of Spanish Corporate Income Tax taxpayers, will not be subject to Spanish

withholding tax, provided that the Iberclear Members that have the Bonds registered in their securities account

on behalf of third parties (as well as Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, if applicable) provide the

Issuer, in a timely manner, with a duly executed and completed statement in accordance with section 4 of article

44 of Royal Decree 1065/2007.

If the Iberclear Members fail or for any reason are unable to deliver a duly executed and completed statement to

the Issuer in a timely manner in respect of a payment of income made by the Issuer under the Bonds, such

payment will be made net of Spanish withholding tax, currently at the rate of 20% (to be reduced to 19% as

from 1 January 2016 onwards).

If this occurs, affected beneficial owners would receive a refund of the amount withheld, with no need for action

on their part, if the Iberclear Members submit a duly executed and completed statement to the Issuer no later

than the tenth calendar day of the month immediately following the relevant payment date.

If the aforesaid duly executed and completed statement were not to be provided to the Issuer, beneficial owners

may apply directly to the Spanish tax authorities for any refund to which they may be entitled, according to the

procedures set forth in the Spanish Non-Resident Income Tax Law.

Potential purchasers and sellers of the Bonds may be required to pay taxes or other documentary charges or

duties in accordance with the laws and practices of the country where the Bonds are transferred or other

jurisdictions

Potential purchasers and sellers of the Bonds should be aware that they may be required to pay taxes or other

documentary charges or duties in accordance with the laws and practices of the country where the Bonds are

transferred or other jurisdictions (other than Spain). Potential investors are advised not to rely upon the tax

summary contained in this Offering Circular but to seek the advice of a tax professional regarding their

individual tax liabilities with respect to the acquisition, sale and redemption of the Bonds. Only these advisers

are in a position to duly consider the specific situation of the potential investor. This investment consideration

25

has to be read in connection with the taxation sections of this Offering Circular. Such taxes or documentary

charges could also be due in case of a possible change of the tax residency of the Issuer. In addition, potential

purchasers should be aware that tax regulations and their application by the relevant taxation authorities change

from time to time. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the precise tax treatment which will apply at any

given time.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

While the Bonds are in global form and held within Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg (together the

ICSDs), in all but the most remote circumstances, it is not expected that the new reporting regime and potential

withholding tax imposed by sections 1471 to 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (FATCA) will

affect the amount of any payment received by the ICSDs (see the section of this Offering Circular headed

"Taxation – U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Withholding"). However, FATCA may affect payments

made to custodians or intermediaries (including any clearing system other than the Clearing Systems) in the

payment chain leading to the ultimate investor if any such custodian or intermediary generally is unable to

receive payments free of FATCA withholding. It also may affect payments to any ultimate investor that is a

financial institution that is not entitled to receive payments free of withholding under FATCA, or an ultimate

investor that fails to provide its broker (or other custodian or intermediary from which it receives payment) with

any information, forms, other documentation or consents that may be necessary for the payments to be made

free of FATCA withholding. Investors should choose the custodians or intermediaries with care (to ensure each

is compliant with FATCA or other laws or agreements related to FATCA, including any IGA legislation, if

applicable), and provide each custodian or intermediary with any information, forms, other documentation or

consents that may be necessary for such custodian or intermediary to make a payment free of FATCA

withholding. Investors should consult their own tax adviser to obtain a more detailed explanation of FATCA and

how FATCA may affect them. Further, foreign financial institutions in a jurisdiction which has entered into an

intergovernmental agreement with the United Sates (an IGA) are generally not expected to be required to

withhold under FATCA or an IGA (or any law implementing an IGA) from payments they make.

RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE BONDS

Risk of subordination and priority of credits in case of insolvency proceedings

Upon the insolvency declaration of the Issuer, the Issuer's obligations under the Bonds shall, to the extent

secured, rank as special privileged credits (créditos con privilegio especial) up to 90% of the fair value (valor

razonable) of the charged assets under the Security. Any amount which is not covered by the 90% of the fair

value shall rank as appropriate under the Spanish Insolvency Law, as amended (i.e. any principal overflow shall

rank as an ordinary claim against the Issuer and any interest overflow shall rank as a subordinated claim against

the same).

The 90% limitation was recently introduced to the Spanish Insolvency Law, there are some ongoing discussions

on the interpretation of the same. Some scholars consider that these limitations shall only apply to the ranking of

claims for the purposes of voting on a proposal for composition with creditors (convenio de acreedores) but

that, in any event, secured creditors shall be entitled to receive 100% of the proceeds obtained from the sale of

the charged assets. Other scholars consider that the limitation shall apply both to the ranking of claims but also

to the moneys that secured creditors may be entitled to receive upon the sale of the charged assets. In this

respect, if the latter interpretation proves to be the correct one, in the event that the charged assets under the

Security are sold once the Issuer has been declared insolvent, there is a risk that the moneys obtained from such

sale (either by virtue of an enforcement proceeding or by virtue of a sale that is carried out within the insolvency

proceedings) shall be allocated to the Issuer's obligations under the Bonds up to the amount of the special

privileged credits that have been recognised under the Bonds within the Issuer's insolvency proceedings. Any

amounts under the Bonds that are not covered by the amounts obtained from the sale of the charged assets under

the Securities shall rank as appropriate under the Spanish Insolvency Law, as amended.

26

With regard to the payment of claims under the Spanish Insolvency Law, the following rules apply:

(a) Before any of the creditors of the insolvency are paid, the insolvency administrators must deduct from

the insolvency estate such assets and rights not affected by a special privilege as are necessary to pay

the claims against the insolvency estate (créditos contra la masa).

(b) Creditors with a special privilege (broadly speaking, secured creditors and certain labour claims) are

paid out of the proceeds obtained on the sale of the charged assets or rights (or with the acquisition of

the secured asset by way of payment) but to the extent their claims remain unpaid, the unpaid claims

will be reclassified as appropriate.

(c) Creditors with a general privilege (créditos con privilegio general) (broadly speaking, certain tax and

labour claims among others) are paid out of assets remaining in the insolvency estate (e.g. after

deducting such assets and rights not affected by a special privilege as are necessary to pay the claims

against the insolvency estate and after selling the assets affected by a special privilege).

(d) Ordinary creditors are paid pro rata out of the assets remaining in the insolvency estate after the

creditors with a general privilege have been paid.

(e) Subordinated creditors cannot be paid until all ordinary claims have been paid, and are paid out of

assets remaining in the insolvency estate.

Finally, claims against the Issuer under the Bonds could be subordinated in an eventual insolvency proceeding

of the Issuer to the following extent:

(a) If they are reported late to the insolvency administrator of the Issuer.

(b) If they are contractually subordinated to all of the Issuer's creditors.

(c) With regard to interest, unless they are secured (subject to the 90% limitation described above).

(d) In the claims related to monetary penalties or other monetary sanctions.

(e) If they are held by persons that are specially related (personas especialmente relacionadas) (as defined

under article 93 of the Spanish Insolvency Law) to the Issuer.

The Bonds may not be a suitable investment for all investors

Each potential investor in the Bonds must determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own

circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:

(a) have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Bonds, the merits

and risks of investing in the Bonds and the information contained in this Offering Circular and any

applicable supplement;

(b) have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its

particular financial situation, an investment in the Bonds and the impact the Bonds will have on its

overall investment portfolio;

(c) have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Bonds,

including if euro (the currency for principal and interest payments on the Bonds) is different from the

potential investor's currency;

(d) understand thoroughly the Conditions; and

(e) be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for

economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the

applicable risks.

27

The Bonds are obligations of the Issuer only

The Bonds are solely obligations of the Issuer and will not be obligations or responsibilities of, or guaranteed

by, any other entity. In particular, the Bonds are not obligations of, and will not be guaranteed by, the Authority,

the Shareholders, the Bond Trustee, the Security Agent, the Joint Bookrunners or any of their respective

affiliates nor any other persons. Furthermore, no person other than the Issuer accepts or will accept any liability

whatsoever to Bondholders in respect of any failure by the Issuer to pay any amounts due under the Bonds.

Performance by the Issuer of its obligations is dependent upon certain third parties

The Issuer is a party to contracts with a number of other third parties that have agreed to perform certain

services in relation to the Bonds. These third parties include, but are not limited to, the Account Bank, the

Insurance Providers, the Authority, the Agent, the Construction Contractor and the Performance Bond

Providers. As an example, the Agent has agreed to provide payment services in connection with the Bonds

under the Agency Agreement. Disruptions in such services or failures by such third parties to carry out these

services could lead to a loss on the Bonds and/or early redemption of the Bonds.

Modification and waivers

The Conditions contain provisions for calling meetings of Bondholders to consider matters affecting their

interests generally. These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all Bondholders including Bondholders

who did not attend and vote at the relevant meeting and Bondholders who voted in a manner contrary to the

majority.

The Conditions also provide that the Bond Trustee may, subject to certain restrictions but without the consent of

Bondholders, agree to: (i) any modification of any of the provisions of the Trust Deed, the Conditions or any

other Transaction Document that is of a formal, minor or technical nature or is made to correct a manifest error

or an error which is, in the opinion of the Bond Trustee, proven; (ii) any other modification (save to the extent

that such modification is a Basic Terms Modification, as described in Condition 14.1(d) (Meetings of

Bondholders)); and (iii) any waiver or authorisation of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or

breach or proposed breach of any of the provisions of the Trust Deed, these Conditions or any other Transaction

Document that is, in the opinion of the Bond Trustee, not materially prejudicial to the interests of the

Bondholders.

Any such modification or waiver made by the Bond Trustee shall be binding on all Bondholders.

Approval of certain matters may be effected without the positive approval of Bondholders

Certain matters, including the approval of semi-annual Compliance Certificates under Condition 4 (Information

Covenants), are approved by Bondholders on a "Negative Approval" basis. A matter will be approved in this

way unless Bondholders representing not less than 25% of the nominal amount of the Bonds outstanding

express their disapproval within a specified period, which is usually ten days. Bondholders who do not respond

within that period will effectively be deemed to have approved the relevant matter. While documentation and

other matters will be notified to Bondholders through publication on an investor website and through publication

of a notice on the MARF stock exchange in accordance with Condition 18 (Notices), Bondholders who do not

respond within the specified period will have no subsequent rights of challenge in the event that the 25%

threshold of Bondholders have not, within the specified period, expressly disapproved the relevant matter.

A Bondholder's ability to enforce following the occurrence of an Event of Default is limited

Condition 13 (Enforcement) provides that enforcement action may only be taken by the Bond Trustee following

instructions from the Bondholders. Other than in limited circumstances, Bondholders have no individual rights

to enforce. Accordingly, the ability of Bondholders to take enforcement action is limited and may only be

effected in the circumstances described in that Condition. This provides, for example, that enforcement

instructions to the Bond Trustee may initially only be given by persons representing more than 66.6% of the

28

nominal amount of Bonds outstanding (or, if at a duly convened meeting, 66.6% of the nominal amount of

Bonds attending that meeting) during the first six months and 50% thereafter. The limited ability of Bondholders

to take enforcement action may impact negatively on the efficacy of any such enforcement action,for example,

if action needs to be taken quickly following the occurrence of an Event of Default (e.g. upon insolvency of the

Issuer).

Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments

The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or

regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether

and to what extent: (i) the Bonds are appropriate legal investments for it; (ii) the Bonds can be used as collateral

for various types of borrowing; and (iii) whether other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of the Bonds.

Financial institutions should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the

appropriate treatment of the Bonds under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.

The value of the Bonds may be adversely affected by movements in market interest rates

Investment in the Bonds involves the risk that if market interest rates subsequently increase above the rate paid

on the Bonds, this will adversely affect the value of the Bonds.

Conflicts of interest generally

Conflicts of interest may arise during the term of the Bonds as a result of various factors involving certain

transaction parties. For example, such potential conflicts may arise because one or more of the Issuer's creditors

may also act in other capacities under the Finance Documents, although the relevant rights and obligations under

the Finance Documents are not contractually conflicting and are independent from one another.

Credit ratings assigned to the Issuer or the Bonds may not reflect all the risks associated with an investment

in the Bonds

The ratings assigned by the Rating Agency to the Bonds reflect only the views of the Rating Agency and in

assigning the ratings, the Rating Agency takes into consideration the credit quality of the Issuer and structural

features and other aspects of the transaction. There is no assurance that any such ratings will continue for any

period of time or that they will not be reviewed, revised, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the Rating Agency

as a result of changes in, or unavailability of, information or if, in the Rating Agency's judgment, circumstances

so warrant. If any rating assigned to the Bonds is lowered or withdrawn, the market value of the Bonds may be

reduced. Future events, including events affecting the Issuer and/or circumstances relating to the industry

generally, could have an adverse impact on the ratings of the Bonds.

One or more independent credit rating agencies may assign credit ratings to the Issuer or the Bonds. The ratings

may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure, market, additional factors discussed above,

and other factors that may affect the value of the Bonds. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or

hold securities and may be revised, suspended or withdrawn by the Rating Agency at any time.

The Bonds are subject to exchange rate risks and exchange controls risks

The Issuer will pay principal and interest on the Bonds in euro. This presents certain risks relating to currency

conversions if an investor's financial activities are denominated principally in a currency or currency unit (the

Investor's Currency) other than the euro. These include the risk that exchange rates may significantly change

(including changes due to devaluation of the euro or revaluation of the Investor's Currency) and the risk that

authorities with jurisdiction over the Investor's Currency may impose or modify exchange controls. The Issuer

has no control over the factors that generally affect these risks, such as economic, financial and political events

and the supply and demand for applicable currencies. In recent years, exchange rates between certain currencies

have been highly volatile and volatility between such currencies or with other currencies may be expected in the

future. Fluctuations between currencies in the past are not necessarily indicative, however, of fluctuations that

29

may occur in the future. An appreciation in the value of the Investor's Currency relative to the euro would

decrease the Investor's Currency-equivalent yield on the Bonds, the Investor's Currency-equivalent value of the

principal payable on the Bonds and the Investor's Currency-equivalent market value of the Bonds.

Government and monetary authorities may impose (as some have in the past) exchange controls that could

adversely affect an applicable exchange rate. As a result, investors may receive less interest or principal than

expected, or no interest or principal.

Regulatory initiatives may result in increased regulatory capital requirements and/or decreased liquidity in

respect of the Bonds

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the Basel Committee) published a regulatory framework in

2006 (the Basel II Framework). The implementation of and/or changes to the Basel II Framework may affect

the capital requirements of certain investors in the Bonds and/or the liquidity of the Bonds and/or the risk

weighting of the Bonds for such investors.

The Basel Committee has approved significant changes to the Basel II Framework (Basel III), including new

capital requirements, minimum liquidity standards and a minimum leverage ratio for credit institutions. In

particular, the changes include new requirements for the capital base, measures to strengthen the capital

requirements for counterparty credit exposures arising from certain transactions and the introduction of a

leverage ratio as well as short-term and longer-term standards for funding liquidity (referred to as the Liquidity

Coverage Ratio and the Net Stable Funding Ratio, respectively). Member countries are required to implement

the new capital standards from January 2013, the Liquidity Coverage Ratio from January 2015 and the Net

Stable Funding Ratio from January 2018. The European authorities have implemented Basel III via the adoption

of Directive 2013/36/EU (CRD IV) and Regulation 575/2013 (CRR). CRD IV and the CRR will replace the

existing Capital Requirements Directives from 1 January 2014, with full implementation by January 2019;

however, the proposals allow individual EU Member States to implement the stricter definition and/or level of

capital more quickly than is envisaged under the CRR.

Investors should consult their own advisers as to: (i) the regulatory capital requirements in respect of the Bonds

and as to the consequences to and effect on them of the Basel II Framework, Basel III, CRD IV and the CRR

and any relevant implementing measures; and (ii) any other laws and regulations applicable to the investment in,

and the holding of, securities such as the Bonds. No predictions can be made as to the precise effects of such

matters on any investor or otherwise.

Change in law

The structure of the transaction and, among other things, the issue of, and terms and conditions of, the Bonds

and rating assigned to the Bonds are based on law (including tax law) and administrative practice in effect at the

date hereof and having due regard to the expected tax treatment of all relevant entities under such law and

administrative practice. No assurance can be given as to the impact of any possible judicial decision or change

to such law, tax or administrative practice after the date of this Offering Circular and as to whether any such

change could materially adversely impact the value of the Bonds.

There may not be an active trading market for the Bonds, in which case the ability to sell the Bonds may be

limited

The Issuer cannot assure the holders of the Bonds as to the liquidity of any market in the Bonds, their ability to

sell the Bonds or the prices at which they would be able to sell their Bonds. Future trading prices for the Bonds

will depend on many factors, including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, operating results and the

market for similar securities.

Although an application will be made for the Bonds to be listed on MARF, the Issuer cannot assure that the

Bonds will be or will remain listed. Although no assurance is made as to the liquidity of the Bonds as a result of

the admission on MARF, the failure to be approved for admission or the exclusion (whether or not for an

30

alternative admission to listing on another stock exchange) of the Bonds from MARF may have a material effect

on a holder's ability to resell the Bonds, as applicable, in the secondary market.

As the Bonds are registered with Iberclear, investors will have to rely on their procedures for transfer,

payment and communication with the Issuer

The Bonds are in dematerialised form and are registered with Iberclear. Consequently, no physical notes have

been or will be issued. Clearing and settlement relating to the Bonds, as well as payment of interest and

redemption of principal amounts, will be performed within Iberclear's account-based system. The investors are

therefore dependent on the functionality of Iberclear's account-based system.

Title to the Bonds is evidenced by book entries, and each person shown in the Spanish Central Registry

managed by Iberclear and in the registries maintained by the respective participating entities in Iberclear (the

Iberclear Members) as having an interest in the Bonds shall be (except as otherwise required by Spanish law)

considered the holder of the principal amount of the Bonds recorded therein.

The Issuer will discharge its payment obligation under the Conditions by making payments through Iberclear.

Bondholders must rely on the procedures of Iberclear and its participants to receive payments. The Issuer has no

responsibility or liability for the records relating to, or payments made in respect of, holders of the Bonds

according to book entries and registries as described in the previous paragraph. In addition, the Issuer has no

responsibility for the proper performance by Iberclear or its participants of its obligations under their respective

rules and operating procedures.

A summary of clearance and settlement procedures applicable to book-entry notes in Spain is contained under

the section headed "Summary of Clearance and Settlement Procedures applicable to Book-Entry Notes" of this

Offering Circular.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGULATORY REGIME

The following is a brief summary of the Spanish regulatory regime applicable to the Project.

Roads in Spain are usually developed through the concession for public works regime. Roads developed

through the concession for public works regime are usually located on publicly owned land and involve the

exercise of public administrative powers relating to the regulation of traffic and local public roads. The

operation of public roads, which is usually granted to private parties under administrative concessions, is

subject to the ongoing control of the public authorities that grant the concessions.

The following summary applies to roads developed through the concession for public regime and which are

accordingly subject to the public regulatory regime.

Applicable legislation

The construction and operation of public roads pursuant to concessions granted by public authorities are

regulated in Spain by public laws which govern the construction, maintenance and operation of public roads and

contractual arrangements between private parties and Spanish public authorities. Public laws also impose certain

requirements and limitations with respect to various types of contracts entered into with public authorities.

In general, contracts entered into with public authorities in Spain are currently governed by the Public Sector

Contracts Law, a consolidated text approved by Legislative Royal Decree 3/2011 of 14 November (the TRLCSP).

Prior to the effectiveness of this restated text, the applicable legislation was Law 30/2007, dated 30 October, on

public sector contracts (the LCSP). In this regard, the Project is subject to the LCSP.

Public tender process and award

Concessions for public roads are awarded through a public tender process. Pursuant to the relevant legislation,

the public authorities enter into contracts for the concessions with private parties selected through the public

tender process. Under the public tender process, interested parties may submit their bids for the concession. The

specific conditions of the concession contract are set forth in the terms of tender (Pliegos de Condiciones

Administrativas y Técnicas) and in the contract itself. These conditions may differ and establish particular legal,

economic and technical terms for each type of contract and for each project. The specific legal and contractual

regime applicable to each concession contract is determined by the contract and the terms of tender for the

concession, as well as the relevant legislation in effect at the time the concession was awarded (hereinafter, the

terms of tender of the Project will be referred to as Terms of Tender).

Type of contract

The relevant legislation contemplates that public roads may be operated generally under three different types of

contracts: (i) a contract for the management of a public service without works (a "brown field" concession); (ii) a

contract for the management of a public service with works; and (iii) a contract for a concession of public works.

In this context, "works" refers to the construction of highway (a "green field" concession).

The primary type of contract used for the building and subsequent operation of public roads is a contract for a

concession of public works, which is the type of contract that has been used in the Project.

Term and renewal of administrative concessions

Contracts for a concession of public works have a maximum term of 40 years, extendable in certain

circumstances for 15% of the initial term. For any concession, the contract and the terms of tender will establish

the contract's term, which term may not exceed the maximum term permitted by the relevant legislation. The

Concession's term is for 30 years, counted from the day following signing of the agreement (i.e. until 14

December 2042).

37

In certain circumstances, the term may be extended provided that such possibility of extension had been

contemplated in the terms of tender and that the maximum term permitted by the relevant legislation is not

exceeded. In this regard, the Terms of Tender establishes that the Concession term can only be extended when

the financial balance of the Concession is restored. If the activity or the execution of works is suspended due to

acts of the Public Works Ministry (Ministerio de Fomento) or to a force majeure event, this time will not be

counted as part of the Concession's term (see “Description of the Concession Agreement and the Construction

Contract - Term of the Concession Agreement”).

After the term of the contract expires (including the envisaged extensions), the contract may not be renewed

without undergoing a public tender process.

Risk assumption

The works are executed and the concessions are operated at the concessionaire's risk (riesgo y ventura).

Modifications of the concession

The authority may introduce changes in the contract for public interest, duly justifying its necessity. These

modifications may not affect the essential conditions of the contract. In this regard, extensions on the purpose of

the contract that cannot be integrated into the initial project through an amendment thereof or consisting in

providing independent use or directed to satisfy new purposes, may not be considered as modification of the

contract.

Under the applicable regulations, a public contract can only be modified in the following cases:

(a) when such modification (and its terms, limits and percentage of the price of the agreement that can be

modified, among other requirements) is expressly set out in the tender documents or concession itself;

or

(b) in any other event, under the following circumstances:

(i) the service is not adequate to satisfy the needs it was intended to cover due to mistakes

included in the project or technical specifications;

(ii) inadequacy of the project or of the specifications due to objective reasons consisting of

geological, hydrological, archaeological, environmental or similar conditions which determine

its unsuitability, which are discovered after contract award and which were not foreseeable by

exercising all care in accordance with good professional practice when the project or technical

specifications were drafted;

(iii) force majeure or an unexpected event that rendered it impossible to provide the service;

(iv) when it is convenient to incorporate new technical developments that will improve the

provision of the service and which were not available in the market prior to the awarding of

the contract; or

(v) it is necessary to adjust the provision of the service to new technical, environmental, urban,

safety or accessibility conditions passed after the granting of the concession.

The modification cannot alter the essential conditions set out for the bidding and the awarding of the concession.

In this sense, it can be understood that such essential conditions are altered in the following cases:

(a) when the modification substantially amends the functions and essential characteristics of the provision

to which the concession agreement refers;

(b) when the modification alters the relationship between the service and its price, based on the terms on

which such relationship was initially settled;

38

(c) when a different professional qualification or solvency requirements are needed after the modification;

(d) when the modifications of the concession agreement (aggregated in the case of prior modifications) are

equal to or exceed 10% (above or below) the awarding price of the Concession; or

(e) in any other case in which it can be presumed that if the modification was known prior to awarding the

concession agreement, additional potential bidders could have been interested in the tender procedure

or that actual bidders would have filed a completely different bid.

Economic and Financial Plan

Bidders in the tender process are required to submit an economic and financial plan for the concession together

with their bid. This plan includes, among others, a detailed description of the system of tariffs, investment and

operating costs, payment obligations and the direct or indirect estimated financial costs (see the section of this

Offering Circular headed “Description of the Concession Agreement and the Construction Contract -

Concession Agreement – Economic and Financial Plan for the Concession”).

Concept of economic-financial rebalancing

The public authority that awards a concession contract has the authority to interpret the terms of the contract and

to amend the terms of the contract for "reasons of public interest". As a result, the authority cannot amend the

contract based on any political initiative but only under these limited circumstances (see "Modifications of the

concession" above).

The concept of reasons of public interest is not clearly defined in case law, and there is a risk in the

interpretation of this concept by the awarding authority. In any event, the awarding authority must justify the

existence of the reason of public interest in each particular case, and this interpretation may be challenged in

court.

In general, contracts are executed on the "principle of risk and venture" of the contractor, whereby the contractor

must assume the consequences that, in economic terms, may arise from the execution of the contract, as they

were agreed. Under Spanish law, the concept of financial rebalancing arises as a means to modulate the

application of the "principle of risk and venture" since its strict application could imply serious damage for the

contractor and for the public interest in certain events that could result in the breach of the concession, and

accordingly, of the public service inherent in it.

The public authority may rebalance the economic terms of the contract upon the occurrence of three general

types of events if such events result in a change which is detrimental to the concessionaire in the fundamental

economic balance that existed when the contract was awarded (and not just in a mere reduction of the expected

profits of the concessionaire):

(a) modification based on public interest reasons and in the events referred to above (see "Modifications of

the concession" above);

(b) the authority's acts or force majeure events which directly lead to a substantial breach of the economy

of the contract; and

(c) when any of the events occur or circumstances arise that, according to the terms of tender, might lead

to restoring the economic balance.

The concessionaire can make a claim to the public authority for financial rebalancing and must provide evidence

of the event and demonstrate the repercussions that result from the imbalance of the previously agreed terms.

The public authority may apply various measures to rebalance the economic-financial terms of the contract. In

general, the public authority will provide compensation for the imbalance that such amendments, measures or

events imply for the concessionaire or the loss and damage caused. The scope of the rebalancing will be the

amount necessary, in terms of prices, costs or other elements, to adjust, reasonably, the economic-financial

39

situation to that agreed in the concession contract. The degree of compensation (complete or partial) granted will

depend, essentially, on the cause of the imbalance.

The TRLCSP generally contemplates, depending on the circumstances, the following measures to achieve

rebalancing:

(a) amending the tariffs payable by users;

(b) in certain circumstances, amending the term of the contract (however, this would be subject to the

maximum legal term for the concession); and

(c) amending the clauses that contain the substantive economic terms of the contract.

The terms of tender and the terms of the concession contract may specifically limit the scope of the

circumstances under which a claim for financial rebalancing is available. The terms of tender and the terms of

the concession contract may specifically limit the scope of the circumstances under which a claim for financial

rebalancing is available. In this regard, according to clause 28.4 of the Terms of Tender of the Concession, the

following will not give right to the restoring of the Concession's financial balance:

(a) the carrying out of Area 2 and Area 3 works, with regards to those modifications, adjustment,

extensions or new road sections that belong to the same road infrastructure, that could be carried out by

the authority during the Concession's term, provided that their annual conservation cost (calculated

only for this purpose as 2% of the initial investment) and multiplied by the number of years during

which the Issuer has to maintain the same does not exceed 2% of the total investment cost in such Area

2 and Area 3 – this is, the Area 2 and Area 3 works that do not reach the referred limit, will not raise

the right to restore the financial balance of the Concession;

(b) the carrying out of the Area 2 and Area 3 works in the Area 1 road sections will not raise the right to

restore the financial balance of the Concession; and

(c) the alteration of local and regional road networks.

The recognition of the financial rebalancing in favour of the concessionaire generally implies an amendment to

the terms of the contract. Therefore, the rebalancing provisions are considered to be effective from the moment

of the contract amendment, without prejudice to the possibility of taking into consideration when the change that

prompted the rebalancing occurred when deciding the scope of the rebalancing.

Concession tariffs and other remuneration arrangements

The terms of tender and the contract establish the tariff scheme to remunerate the concessionaire. the issuer's

remuneration regime is a monthly fee based on the availability of the different road sections and the quality of

the service. Also, the terms of tender admit an additional remuneration arising from certain services (service

station, cashiers, car wash areas etc.) which are independent from the Issuer's base remuneration (see

“Description of the Concession Agreement and the Construction Conract – Remuneration of the Issuer”).

Authorisations and change of control clauses

Under some contractual arrangements, public authorities impose certain restrictions on the transfer of ownership

of the concessionaire and the guarantees and security interests that the concessionaire can grant to third parties.

For example, the concession contract may require the prior authorisation of the public authority in order for the

concessionaire to grant a mortgage over the concession. In some cases, a concession contract may contain a

change of control clause, which prohibits the transfer of the ownership of the concessionaire without the prior

approval of the public authority. In addition, public authorities may terminate the concession in the event that

insolvency or winding-up proceedings are instituted against the concessionaire.

General public procurement laws (including TRLCSP, Royal Decree-Law 3/2011, of 14 November (TRLCAP),

do not regulate transfers of shares in companies holding contracts or concessions. Although a legal theory of the

40

Council of State (the supreme consultative council of the Spanish government) attempts to consider changes of

control through the transfer of shares the same as events of assignment of contracts or concessions (thus

requiring authorisation of the municipality for such transfer), the successive public procurement laws passed

have not adopted this approach. However, the terms of tender and specific contracts may contain provisions

requiring prior communication and authorisation for direct or indirect transfers of shares. Additionally, the

public authorities may choose to apply this theory of the Council of State which would require prior

authorisation for direct or indirect changes of control of the concessionaire, even though this is not explicitly

required in the terms of tender, the contract or applicable regulations.

In this regard, in accordance to the Terms of the Tender, the initial ownership of the shares shall coincide with

the shareholding structure proposed by the concessionaire in its bid. Any subsequent change in the shareholding

which implies an increase or decrease equal to or in excess of 1% of such shareholding is subject to prior notice

to the Public Works Ministry (see section of this Offering Circular headed “Description of the Concession

Agreement and the Construction Contract - Concession Agreement - Capital structure”).

Assignment of the concession

The TRLCSP generally contemplates that the concessionaire has the right to assign the concession, provided it

has obtained the authority's prior and express authorisation. In addition, the following requirements shall be met:

(i) the assignor has executed at least 20% of the concession's amount; (ii) the assignee has the capacity to enter

into contracts with a public administration and the solvency required for the concession (and is not prohibited

from entering into the contract); and (iii) the assignment is executed through a public deed.

The terms of tender establish that in the event of assignment of the concession, the minimum stakes in the Issuer

established in the terms of tender - at least 20% of the concessionaire's share capital must be subscribed by

companies which carry out activities related to the construction of road infrastructures, and 20% by companies

which carry out road infrastructure conservation and/or operation activities - shall, in any case, be maintained.

Mortgage of the concession

Pursuant to the TRLCSP, the concessionaire has the right to constitute a mortgage over the concession, subject

to the authority's prior authorisation. It is not possible to constitute a mortgage as a guarantee of debts not

related to the concession. The Issuer has not granted any mortgage under the Concession.

Termination of the concession

Under the current regulatory regime, a concession contract can be terminated under the following circumstances

(see “Description of the Concession Agreement – Early Termination of the Concession Agreement”):

(a) extinguishment of the legal personality of the concessionaire;

(b) court order of insolvency in a "concurso" proceeding or in any other proceeding;

(c) foreclosure proceedings are taken in respect of the concession and either the proceedings fail or there

are no interested third parties;

(d) mutual agreement between the authority and the concessionaire;

(e) seizure of the Concession by the authority for a term exceeding that foreseen in the applicable

regulations;

(f) eight months’ delay in the performance of the terms by the concessionaire or a breach of the term for

commencement of the performance of the contract;

(g) recovery (rescate) of the concession by the authority (recovery includes the unilateral and discretionary

provision by the authority declaring the concession terminated, notwithstanding the concessionaire's

proper fulfilment of its obligations);

41

(h) suppression of the service for public interest reasons;

(i) impossibility to exploit the concession under its original terms as a consequence of decisions made by

the authority after the awarding of the concession;

(j) abandonment, withdrawal and non-compliance with essential conditions of the concession;

(k) impossibility of performance of the obligation on the initially agreed terms or certain probability of

causing serious damage to the public interest should the obligation continue to be performed on such

terms, where it is impossible to amend the contract; and

(l) any other circumstances expressly contemplated in the contract.

Termination is not automatic. The authority has to follow a procedure which can generally last between two and

six months. The authority can adopt cautionary measures related to the termination procedure.

The termination of the concession due to any of the above-mentioned causes will be declared by the authority

(ex officio or at the request of the concessionaire). The declaration of insolvency or the opening of the

liquidation phase, as well as the causes referred to in paragraphs (e), (g), (h) and (i) above will always lead to

the termination of the concession. In any other cases, the party who is not responsible for the termination can

decide to ask for the concession's termination.

Mutual agreement can only be a cause for termination when the concession is not under seizure by the authority

due to a serious infringement by the concessionaire, and provided that public interest reasons do not make it

unnecessary or inconvenient. In addition, where mutual agreement is the cause of termination, creditors will

have no control in respect of such termination other than under the terms of any other financing documents.

In the case of merger, prior administrative authorisation is mandatory for the acquirer or remaining company to

continue operating the concession and replace the prior concessionaire in all its rights and obligations. In case of

demerger, contribution or assignment of companies, the concession can only continue with the resulting

company when expressly authorised as so by the authority, taking into account the requirements for the

awarding in relation to the degree of development of the concession at the time any of the referred transactions

takes place.

Liability and compensation for termination of concession contract

In the event of the termination of a concession contract due to breach by the public authority, the authority will be

liable for payment of the loss and damage caused to the concessionaire. Likewise, a termination of the contract

due to the intentional breach by the concessionaire will result in the concessionaire being liable for

indemnifying the authority for the loss and damage caused. Such indemnification will be enforced first against

the performance bond provided by the concessionaire to the public authority.

In general (and unless the terms of tender and concession contract provide otherwise), in the event of an early

termination of a concession, regardless of whether or not such termination is attributable to the concessionaire,

the public authority will pay to the concessionaire an amount representing the investment the concessionaire has

made to develop the concession. In determining the amount of such investment, the amortisation of the

investment will be taken into account according to the time remaining to the expiry of the concession and to the

terms of the economic and financial plan provided by the concessionaire in its bid containing the estimated

economics expected under the concession. Once the pending amount has been determined, the payment has to be made

within six months.

With regard to the termination cause referred to in paragraph (f) of the section "Termination of the concession", above,

the concessionaire can opt between the termination of the concession (with the consequences explained in the next

paragraph) or to be paid the legal interest of the pending amounts (together with the principal), to be counted as from

the date which the payment should have been made or the goods should have been granted.

42

With regard to the termination causes referred to in paragraphs (g), (h) and (i) of the section "Termination of the

concession" and without prejudice to what has been stated under the second paragraph above of this section, the

authority will indemnify the concessionaire for all damages suffered. Such damages will include loss of profit,

which will be estimated in accordance with the operating income obtained during the previous five years and the

loss of value of the works and installations that will not revert to the authority, taking into account their degree

of depreciation.

In the case of termination attributable to the concessionaire, the authority will enforce the definitive guarantee

provided by such concessionaire, who will be under an obligation to pay the authority for any damages caused

by its default, in excess of the definitive guarantee.

The authority can also decide the termination of the contracts related to: (i) the use of complementary areas; and

(ii) the commercial exploitation agreements (paying the relevant compensation, that will be assumed by the

concessionaire when the termination cause is attributable to the same). In the case of mutual agreement, the agreement

between the parties will prevail (see “Description of the Concession Agreement – Compensation upon termination

of the Concession Agreement”).

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

This overview highlights selected information appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This overview does

not contain all of the information that is important to prospective investors in the Bonds or that prospective

investors should consider in making an investment decision and is qualified in its entirety by, and should be

read in conjunction with, the more detailed information, including information in the Annexes hereto, appearing

elsewhere in this Offering Circular. Prospective investors should carefully consider the information set forth

under "Risk Factors" herein.

General aspects

The Secretary of State for Infrastructure, Transport and Housing of the Public Works Ministry (the Authority)

is the granting authority of the Concession. At the time of the granting of the Concession, the Authority was

known as the Secretary of State for Planning and Infrastructure.

On 24 August 2011, the Authority invited tenders for the Project. The tender announcement was published in

Spain's Official State Gazette (Boletín Oficial del Estado) on 24 August 2011, and subsequently modified by

announcements published on 25 August 2011 and 22 October 2011. In addition, the tender announcement was

published in Europe's Official Gazette on 26 August 2011. The tender announcement was also published in the

contracting platform of the Authority on 23 August 2011.

The opening of the bids took place on 27 October 2011. A consortium made up of Meridiam, Cintra and

Acciona (together, the Consortium) presented its bid on 20 September 2011 and was selected as the preferred

bidder on 18 September 2012. The Issuer, owned by Meridiam (50%), Cintra (25%) and Acciona (25%), was

incorporated on 15 November 2012 under Spanish law, as a special purpose vehicle for the Project.

The members of the Consortium have extensive experience and expertise in delivering both local and

international road construction projects as detailed above. See the section of this Offering Circular headed

"Description of the Issuer-Shareholders".

44

The Project involves the construction, maintenance and operation of a 49 km-long new section of the A-66

highway between Benavente and Zamora, Spain (the Road) for a concession period of 30 years starting on 14

December 2012 and ending on 14 December 2042, with construction starting in July 2013 and ending on 11

May 2015 (the Project). The Road is of strategic importance to Spain, forming part of the north-south corridor

(Ruta de la Plata) connecting Cadiz to Gijon and completing the upgrade of the corridor from Gijon to Sevilla.

The Project

The Road is classified as part of the European Union's Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T), and the A-

66 is categorised as a T2 road, meaning it has expected daily volumes of between 200 to 799 heavy vehicles per

day for 20 years. Traffic forecasts expect low growth with heavy vehicles accounting for 500 vehicles per day,

well within the design specifications. Given the low expected usage of the A-66, the structure of the pavement is

expected to last well beyond 30 years. Under the proposed lifecycle arrangements the pavement will be

resurfaced every eight years. The Project incorporates straightforward structures: five viaducts, 34 overpasses

and 14 underpasses.

The largest structure is the Ricobayo Reservoir Viaduct with twin structures stretching 215 metres, which has

already been completed. Construction is split into three discrete sections:

45

Section 1: A6 (Castrogonzalo) to Santovenia del Esla

Section 1 comprises a 14.4 km-long section of road from A-6 heading south to the west of the river Esla and the

N-630. It includes, amongst other things, a new A-6 junction/redesign of Castrogonzalo junction (five

structures), a junction with the N-630 at Villaveza del Agua, a junction with the N-630/ZA-100 roads at

Santovenia del Esla, the relocation of a rest area from km 13 to km 14, and the Prado Ramiro viaduct. It will

include 12 overpasses (plus five A-6 junction structures) and four underpasses.

Section 2: Santovenia del Esla to Fontanillas de Castro

Section 2 comprises a 17.8 km section running parallel to the existing N-630 and passing near the Laguna de

Villafafila. It includes, among other things, a junction with the ZA-123, a junction with the N-630 at Riego del

Camino, a junction with the N-630 at Fontanillas de Castro, a service area on both sides of the highway and

three viaducts (Valdeoso Creek, Laguna Creek, and Riego del Camino Creek). It will include five underpasses

and ten overpasses.

Section 3: Fontanillas de Castro to Zamora

Section 3 comprises a final section of approximately 16.9 km that continues south on the east side of the

existing N-630. It includes, among other things, the south ramps of the junction at Fontanillas de Castro, a

junction with the N-630/N-631, a junction with the N-630 at Montamarta, a connection of the south end of the

project with the existing junction with the N-630 on the outskirts of Zamora and the Ricobayo Viaduct. It will

include five underpasses and seven overpasses.

The Issuer is responsible for expropriation of the Lands for the Project. The Issuer appointed an independent

party, Inserinco, S.L., to give support for the expropriation procedures on its behalf. The Land needed to be

expropriated consisted of 583 hectares split into 864 sections, and is 95% dry land farm land. The Issuer has

reached agreements with 94% of relevant landowners. With respect to the remaining landowners, the Issuer

attained access to the land at the beginning of the construction and administrative expropriation proceedings

related to the fair price of the plots are in their way. Each of the Shareholders of the Issuer has put in place an

Expropriation Letter of Credit with a top tier European bank to cover for what the Issuer estimates to be the

worst case amount that the Issuer might have to pay under these proceedings. Construction of the Project began

in July 2013 and is on schedule. Sections 1, 2 and 3 were completed on 11 May 2015. The total cost of the

Works with the refinancing assumptions amounts to €150,478 million for Area 1 (initial costs), €43,017 million

for Area 2 (Capex) and €54,711 million for Area 3 (maintenance).

Operation and maintenance

Operation and maintenance of the Road are to be managed in-house by the Issuer, with personnel directly

employed by it. The Issuer draws on the long history and experience of the Contractor managing similar projects

in Spain. A team of 25 employees will be employed directly by the Issuer to carry out the operation and

maintenance of the Road. Major maintenance work-streams have been sub-contracted by the Issuer to specialist

contractors through competitive tenders. The Issuer will oversee maintenance from a control depot located at the

N630 Riego del Camino Junction, midway through Section 2 of the Project. A control centre will be staffed 24

hours a day and will receive real time data from patrol vehicles which can also be monitored via GPS. Due to

expected low traffic levels (less than 5000 vehicles per day), all maintenance can be completed through lane

closures and use of a contraflow system planned within the QoS criteria.

Lifecycle expenditure

Pavement forms the largest portion (84%) of the major maintenance capital expenditure, as expected for a

project of this nature. The current plan sees major peaks in 2019-2022, 2027-2030 and 2035-2038 as follows:

- 2019-2022: Replacement of mainline surface and binder course;

- 2027-2030: Complete replacement of surfacing and binder course; and

46

- 2035-2038: Mainline surface course replaced with 50% surface course and 50% slurry seal of the

interchanges.

The lifecycle plan will be continuously updated based upon actual observed performance as measured through

ongoing pavement surveys and inspections. Spend profile in the final eight years of the Concession is sized to

meet the hand-back requirements. Regarding provision of the lifecycle, the Issuer intends to sub-contract major

maintenance work which allows, the best price to be secured from the most suitable provider. However, in the

event that the Issuer is unable to secure a sub-contract at an appropriate price, the members of the Consortium

have sufficient expertise to complete this work in-house.

QoS indicators

The QoS indicators are the objective parameters established and determined in order to guarantee that the

different elements of the Road are in a position to satisfy the optimum road and service conditions during the

term of the Concession. All the road sections have to comply with these indicators. Every month, correction

factors for the indicators will be determined, based on the criteria specified in the Concession Agreement. The

Authority is entitled to carry out inspections to verify compliance. The total correction factor will be the result

of the automatic application of all the individual correction factors. Measurements can be reviewed by the

Authority. The final correction factor will be applied to the formula for the calculation of the Availability

Payments as described in the section of this Offering Circular headed "Description of the Concession Agreement

and Construction Contract". In the event that the amount arising from applying the correction factor is less than

the Availability Payment, the difference will be deducted from the following Availability Payment. The

Concession Agreement provides that the Issuer, after having obtained the prior authorisation of the Dirección

General de Carreteras (DGC), is entitled to carry out any necessary actions to improve the quality of the

services and the status of the different Road sections.

Concession Agreement

The concession agreement along with the Terms of Tender relating to the Project was signed by the Authority

and the Issuer on 14 December 2012 (the Concession Agreement) (as further described in the section of this

Offering Circular headed "Description of the Concession Agreement and Construction Contract"). Under the

Concession Agreement, the Issuer will be entitled to receive the Availability Payments which commence from

the date of entry into operation (open to traffic) of the first Road section to be completed by the Issuer until the

end of the Concession. The Availability Payments shall be determined based on the Monthly Fee (as further

described in the section of this Offering Circular headed "Description of the Concession Agreement and

Construction Contract"). As per the Concession Agreement, the base Monthly Fee amounts to €1,889,583.33,

excluding VAT. The Monthly Fee is subject to adjustment in the event that QoS and other availability indicators

are not met. The Monthly Fee is not subject to adjustment based on traffic. The Monthly Fee is the only

payment obligation of the Authority under the Concession Agreement.

Construction Contract

On 31 July 2013, the Issuer entered into a design and build contract (the Construction Contract) with a joint

venture vehicle composed of Acciona Infraestructuras, S.A.U. and Ferrovial Agroman, S.A. (the Contractor)

(as further described in the section of this Offering Circular headed "Description of the Concession Agreement

and Construction Contract – The Construction Contract"). Ferrovial Agroman, S.A. is the primary construction

arm of Grupo Ferrovial, and is an experienced contractor involved in the construction of roads, bridges, airports

and tunnel projects since 1929. It has total annual reviews of €4.3 billion and an order backlog of €8.7 billion

(2012). It is present in over 50 countries with transportation experience including 3,600k km of roads and

14,600 km of roads constructed and 27,000 km of roads maintained and repaired. Acciona was created in 1997

as the result of merging two existing construction companies, "Entrecanales y Távora" and "Cubiertas y

MZOV", both with decades of previous infrastructure asset experience. It currently has an orderbook of €7.2

billion of civil works, with more than 50% in international projects.

47

The purpose of the Construction Contract is to pass from the Issuer to the Contractor the risks, liabilities and

obligations of the Issuer contained in the Concession Agreement which relate to the design, execution and

completion of the works that the Issuer must undertake pursuant to that agreement (the Works) and the

remedying of defects therein. Accordingly, the Construction Contract is back-to-back with the provisions of the

Concession Agreement for the development of the Works and contains a full pass through of the design and

construction risks, liabilities and obligations assumed by the Issuer in the Concession Agreement, subject to

agreed liability caps in certain cases.

48

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONCESSION AGREEMENT AND THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

Concession Agreement

The Concession Agreement, including the Terms of Tender related to the Project, was entered into between the

Authority and the Issuer on 14 December 2012. The Concession Agreement is governed by the provisions of the

LCSP. See the section of this Offering Circular headed "Description of the Regulatory Regime". Under the

Concession Agreement, the Issuer is required to procure the construction, maintenance and operation of a 49

km-long new section of the A-66 highway between Benavente and Zamora for a period of 30 years (the

Concession). Except as otherwise and specifically provided in the Concession Agreement, all costs incurred by

the Issuer in performing its obligations under the Concession Agreement are borne by the Issuer.

The scope of the Concession Agreement includes: (i) the following construction works: first establishment

works, refurbishment, major overhaul, simple repairs, conservation and maintenance; as well as (ii) the

operation of the infrastructure, divided into the following areas:

(a) Area 1: First establishment works;

(b) Area 2: Reposition works and major overhaul which may be required for keeping the infrastructure

suitable for its use during the term of the Concession; and

(c) Area 3: Maintenance of the infrastructure from the moment at which it is put into service after the first

establishment works are finished. These works will be carried out during the term of the Concession.

Term of the Concession Agreement

The Concession Agreement will terminate on the date (the End Date) falling 30 years after the execution date

of the Concession Agreement. The End Date will be on 14 December 2042, unless the Concession Agreement is

terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. The term may be suspended due to a force majeure event that

breaks the economic balance of the Concession Agreement. In this sense, the term of the Concession Agreement

may only be extended as a consequence of restoring the economic balance of the Concession Agreement.

Concession Performance Bond

The Issuer was required to post a performance bond for the benefit of the Authority within ten business days of

receiving the notification of the Authority requiring the bond, for an amount equal to five per cent (5%) of the

estimated value of the Concession Agreement to secure its obligations under the Concession Agreement (the

Concession Performance Bond). The Concession Performance Bond was issued by Banco Popular Español,

S.A. on 12 December 2012 to guarantee the obligations of the Issuer for a maximum amount of €13,356,496. In

addition, the Issuer’s shareholders have granted counterguarantee (contra aval), in proportion to their interest in

the Issuer’s capital, without recourse to the Issuer, for the benefit of Banco Popular Español, S.A.

Once the Works have started and during the period provided for its development, the Concession Performance

Bond may be reduced gradually and inversely proportional to the remaining term of the Concession Agreement

until it amounts to two per cent (2%) of the estimated value of the Concession Agreement by the End Date of

the Concession. To effectively implement this reduction, the Issuer must make a request to the Authority, who

may accept it, subject to the favourable report of the construction and/or development inspector (Inspector de

Construcción y/o Explotación).

If, as a consequence of the modification of the Concession Agreement, its value is varied, the Concession

Performance Bond shall be readjusted so as to remain proportional to the value of the Concession Agreement.

Obligations of the Issuer

Under the Concession Agreement, the principal obligations of the Issuer include (but are not limited to):

49

(a) responsibility for the construction, maintenance and operation of the Road, including a general duty to

maintain and repair the Road following the execution date of the Concession Agreement;

(b) responsibility for the security of the sites related to the Concession (the Sites) and all actions of

protestors and trespassers from the date of execution of the Concession Agreement until its

termination;

(c) in carrying out its obligations, complying with, among other things, applicable legislation, all relevant

taxes, guidance and directions, all orders, notices and consents, and the approved programmes by the

Authority, at its own cost;

(d) responsibility for obtaining all necessary permits, licences and authorisations required for the

development of the Concession, at its own cost;

(e) liability for any compensation due in case of damages to third parties caused as a consequence of the

development of the Concession provided that such damages are attributable to the Issuer (not derived

from a direct order of the Authority);

(f) delivery to the Authority, at the end of the term of the Concession Agreement, of the Road and all the

ancillary facilities in perfect condition so as to permit the continuity of the services; and

(g) maintenance of suitable insurance coverage throughout the term of the Concession Agreement (any

amendment to the insurances is subject to prior authorisation by the Authority), including:

(i) contractors’ "all risks" insurance;

(ii) accident cover insurance;

(iii) civil liability insurance for professional risks; and

(iv) property damage insurance.

Unless expressly stated otherwise in the Concession Agreement, the Issuer assumes all risks and responsibilities

for compliance with the above obligations, and any other obligations imposed upon it under the Concession

Agreement, at its own cost. The Authority will not assume any risks from the operation and the alteration of the

transport networks by the Spanish State and any other public administration.

Obligations of the Authority

Under the Concession Agreement, the Authority will have the following principal obligations:

(a) to restore the economic balance of the Concession Agreement for "reasons of public interest" and for

other justified grounds (such as force majeure). The following measures can be used to achieve the

rebalancing: (i) in certain circumstances, amending the term of the Concession Agreement (however,

this would be subject to the maximum legal term for the Concession); and (ii) amending the clauses

that contain the substantive economic terms of the Concession Agreement; and

(b) to not require compensation if the Issuer fails to comply with its obligations under the Concession

Agreement when such failure is caused by an event directly attributable to the Authority or by force

majeure, and only when the faulty compliance is not caused by a negligent act or as a consequence of

an event that should have been foreseen by the Issuer.

An economic rebalance will not apply to: (i) additional lifecycle/maintenance costs relating to sections of the

Road not included in the original scope provided they are no more than 2% of the lifecycle/maintenance costs

expected to be incurred, (ii) changes to lifecycle/maintenance required to maintain the initial works and (iii)

alterations to the local or regional network.

Modifications of the Concession

50

The Concession can only be modified for public interest reasons in accordance with the terms foreseen in the

LCSP (see “Description of Regulatory Regime – Modifications of the concession”). The Concessionaire is

obliged to comply with the modifications imposed by the Authority.

Remuneration of the Issuer

The Issuer will be entitled to receive monthly payments (Availability Payments) which commence from the

date of entry into operation (open to traffic) of the first Road section to be completed by the Issuer until the end

of the Concession. The Availability Payments from the Authority are calculated according to the service quality

and availability of each of the different Road sections to be developed under the Concession Agreement (the

Monthly Fee). As per the Concession Agreement, the base Monthly Fee amounts to €1,889,583.33, excluding

VAT.

There will be no additional payments from the Authority during the operational phase.

The Availability Payments are calculated by reference to the Monthly Fee. The Monthly Fee is amended in

relation to the status of the Road sections and the service quality. In this respect, QoS indicators (26 indicators in

total) and availability of Road sections will be determined monthly according to the technical specifications of

the Concession Agreement. The Authority may carry out any verification it deems appropriate and, in the event

it finds any discrepancy between such indicators and the works performed by the Issuer, the Authority will bring

the issue to the development inspector (Inspector de Explotación) who will decide if the Monthly Fee should be

adjusted (only reduced, not increased).

Updating the Monthly Fee

The Monthly Fee will be updated in accordance with 85% of the variation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI),

as published by the Spanish National Statistics Institute, as explained below:

(a) The first update will take place after 20% of the Works have been completed provided that a year has

elapsed as from the entry into service of every road section or sub-section that give rise to a right to

receive the Availability Payment. Such update will be calculated using the following formula: Cmps1 =

Cmps0 * KR

Where:

Cmps0 = Monthly fee for providing the service from the bidCmps1 = Monthly fee for providing the service from the bid updated with CPIKr= Adjustment coefficient

K� = 0.85CPI�CPI�

Where:

CPI0=Base CPI for the month when the Concession is awarded or three months after the date bids are submitted

if the Concession was awarded after said three months after the submission.

CPIi =CPI for the first month in which the fee is to be updated.

(b) The following updates will take place every 1 January of the following Concession years, based on the

definitive CPI, as published in December of the prior year. The Monthly Fee shall be calculated using

the following formula:

����� = ����� ∗ K�

Where:

Cmpsi = Monthly Fee from the bid updated on iCmps0 = Monthly Fee from the bid

51

Kr= Adjustment coefficient

�� = 0.85CPI�CPI�

+ 0.15

CIP0= CPI for the month when the Concession is awarded or three months after the date bids are submitted if

the Concession was awarded after said three months after the submission.

CIP1= CPI published in the December before the update.

(c) The updating procedure must adhere to the following formalities:

(i) once the update has been requested from the Issuer, the Authority shall, based on the proposal

by the DGC, approve the new monthly fee for providing the service; and

(ii) as long as a new monthly service fee has not been approved, the previous fee shall remain in

force. Once it has been approved by the Authority, the pending fee shall be subsequently

regularised.

In any case, the updated amounts of the Monthly Fee shall be expressed in euro to two decimal places, not

including value added tax. The Issuer shall submit to the Authority, before the 10th day of each month, the

corresponding invoice along with its calculation of the Monthly Fee to be paid. Payments are expected to be

received within the following 30 days.

Calculation of the Availability Payments

The Availability Payments shall be determined based on the Monthly Fee as previously described. The

Availability Payment (Cm) shall be the result of multiplying the Monthly Fee by the Ft adjustment coefficient by

state indicators and service quality and by the percentage of investment in the construction works for Area 1

launched into service in the quarter prior to the Concession (%Area1), expressed as a decimal.

�� = C���xFtx%Area1

100

The amount of the Monthly Fee shall be the amount corresponding to the updated bids as stipulated above. The

investment percentage in Area 1 in service at the end of the quarter preceding the Concession shall be calculated

using the budgets for each task for Area 1 included in the Issuer's bid.

The Ft coefficient shall be calculated by periodically evaluating the quality level in compliance with the

indicators specified in Appendix 7 of the Concession Agreement as objective standards that correlate to the

quality level and the amount the Issuer should be paid.

Early termination of the Concession Agreement

According to the LCSP, there are a number of early termination events which entitle the parties to terminate the

Concession Agreement, including the following:

(a) extinguishment of the legal personality of the Issuer;

(b) court order of insolvency in a "concurso" proceeding or in any other proceeding;

(c) foreclosure proceedings are taken in respect of the Concession and either the proceedings fail or there

are no interested third parties;

(d) mutual agreement between the Authority and the Issuer;

(e) seizure of the Concession by the authority for a term exceeding that foreseen in the applicable

regulations;

(f) eight months’ delay in the performance of the terms by the Issuer or a breach of the term for

commencement of the performance of the Concession Agreement;

52

(g) recovery (rescate) of the Concession by the Authority (recovery includes the unilateral and

discretionary provision by the Authority declaring the Concession terminated, notwithstanding the

Issuer’s proper fulfilment of its obligations);

(h) suppression of the service for public interest reasons;

(i) impossibility to exploit the Concession under its original terms as a consequence of decisions made by

the Authority after the awarding of the Concession;

(j) abandonment, withdrawal and non-compliance with essential conditions of the Concession; and

(k) impossibility of performance of the obligation on the initially agreed terms or certain probability of

causing serious damage to the public interest should the obligation continue to be performed on such

terms, where it is impossible to amend the Concession Agreement.

Also, the Terms of Tender refers as an early termination event the failure to have all the technical and human

resources (fully operative and never below those offered) to restore and keep the road in safety conditions, even

when a force majeure event has taken place.

The termination is not automatic and the Authority has to follow a procedure to terminate. The Concession

Agreement provides that, on early termination of the Concession Agreement, compensation shall be payable, as

set out below.

Compensation upon termination of the Concession Agreement

In cases of termination, for whatever reason, the Authority shall pay the Issuer the amount (importe) of

investment made in relation to the expropriation of Land, the execution of construction Works and acquisition of

property required for the operation of the Concession. To that effect, the level of depreciation in relation to the

remaining time before the termination of the Concession and the provisions of the economic and financial plan

shall be taken into account. The compensation to be paid shall be determined within six months.

The concept of compensation for the amount of the investment is not defined in the regulatory framework

applicable to the Project, nor does the regulatory framework establish a methodology for determining it. In an

early termination scenario, the Issuer expects that the Authority would determine the early termination payment

by reference to the economic and financial plan which makes reference to the financial statements of the Issuer.

However, absent any guidelines, there can be no assurances as to how the calculations for determining the early

termination payment shall be carried out by the Authority. One approach would be for the early termination

payment to be determined by reference to the book value of the assets as they appear in the Issuer's financial

statements, but a more conservative calculation would also be possible (whereby the book value of the assets is

estimated with a different account and depreciation method to that used by the Issuer).

In case of termination for reasons attributable to the Authority, the Authority shall also compensate the Issuer

for any damages caused to it. In order to determine the amount of compensation due, in accordance with the

law, the future profits that the Issuer will fail to receive should be taken into account, based on operating results

of the last five years where possible, and the loss of value of the works and installations that shall not be

delivered to the Authority, considering the level of depreciation, but there are no specific guidelines determined

by the law or Spanish Supreme Court decisions.

If the Concession Agreement is terminated for reasons attributable to the Issuer, the Concession Performance

Bond shall be enforced and the Issuer shall indemnify the Authority for any damages incurred in excess of the

amount obtained from the enforcement of the Concession Performance Bond.

In case of events of force majeure that result in the termination of the Concession Agreement, the Authority

shall compensate the Issuer for the works already carried out and the higher cost which the Issuer has incurred

as a result of the indebtedness with third parties.

53

The Authority's estimate of amounts payable to the Issuer upon early termination may be less than the Issuer's

estimate which could result in the Issuer receiving insufficient funds to satisfy its payment obligations under a

mandatory early redemption scenario. Under applicable law, the Authority is empowered to make the final

determination of the amount payable to the Issuer and, as a result, the amounts payable by the Authority upon

early termination may not be sufficient or sufficiently timely, to enable the Issuer to meet its payment

obligations under the Bonds on a timely basis.

Seizure of the Concession

The Authority may seize the Concession when the Issuer cannot temporarily, with serious risk to safety, comply

with its obligations under the Concession Agreement to operate and maintain the Concession or when there is a

serious breach of the Issuer's obligations which would endanger the operation and maintenance of the

Concession. The Authority shall notify the Issuer about its intentions to seize the Concession, stating the

infringements committed and giving the Issuer a specified period to rectify the infringement. If the Issuer does

not correct its infringement within the specified period, the Authority shall seize the Concession. All costs of the

seizure will be charged to the Issuer, including any penalties incurred and damages caused.

After seizing the Concession, the Authority would be in charge of the development of the Concession and will

have the right to receive the compensation established under the Concession Agreement. The Authority may use

the same personnel and equipment of the Issuer and would appoint one or more auditors to replace fully or

partially the management board of the Issuer. The Issuer would still assume all risks related to the operation of

the Concession. At the seizure's end, the Authority will return to the Issuer any outstanding amount remaining

after satisfying all payments due related to any and all expenses and penalties imposed and damages caused, if

any.

Seizure of the Concession by the Authority shall be temporary and shall not exceed a term of three years. The

Authority may then decide by itself or by request of the Issuer to return control over the Concession if the

deficiencies caused by the Issuer have been corrected and the Issuer proves to be capable of continuing with the

operation of the Concession at the appropriate standard. If the Issuer fails to fully comply with its obligations

after the term established by the Authority for the seizure of the Concession, the Authority shall terminate the

Concession Agreement.

Liability

The Issuer shall indemnify for all damages caused to third parties as a result of the development of its

obligations under the Concession Agreement. If such damages have been caused as an immediate and direct

consequence of an order of the Authority, the Authority may be liable under Spanish law.

The Authority is responsible for any damages caused to third parties as a result of defects found in the reports

prepared by the Authority in relation to the construction Works of the Concession.

Penalties Regime

The Issuer's infringements may lead to the imposition of penalties:

(a) minor infringements (excluding service quality indicators) – fines of up to €100,000 (as of January

2011);

(b) serious infringements (excluding service quality indicators) – fines from €100,000 to €500,000 (as of

January 2011); and

(c) minor/serious infringements regarding service quality indicators – fines up to the same amount to that

affecting the Monthly Fee.

The penalties to be imposed during the construction phase cannot exceed 10% of the investment in Area 1

works. During the exploitation phase, the penalties to be imposed cannot exceed 20% of the income obtained for

54

the operation of the road during the prior year. If such limits are exceeded, the Authority will terminate the

Concession Agreement. The 20% limit applies to all penalties and is separate from the readjustments to the

Monthly Fee.

Economic and Financial Plan for the Concession

The Issuer in the tender process was required to submit a preliminary economic and financial plan for the

Concession in accordance with clause 14.4.1 of the Terms of Tender together with its bid. This plan includes a

detailed description of the sources for financing the Concession, both with regard to their own resources and

third party funding. In accordance with clause 64 of the Terms of Tender, the Issuer has three months from the

day following the approval of the last Area 1 project for the submission of the definitive economic and financial

plan which will govern the Concession. This plan must correspond to the one submitted with the bid and in no

event may provisions be introduced that vary what is stated in the preliminary economic and financial plan if

these variations may result in a prejudice to the Authority.

In any case, the Issuer shall guarantee and justify in the economic and financial plan that, in the period elapsing

between the subscription of the Concession and the fulfilment of the envisaged investment, it will have the

necessary resources for the construction and exploitation of the Works (by means of a bridge loan or a

contribution of additional own resources from the Issuer).

The economic and financial plan must be approved by the Authority within 2 months and will be incorporated

into the Concession. The implementation term will be the one stated in the economic and financial plan and

cannot exceed 3 months from the aforementioned approval. The economic and financial plan shall be considered

fully implemented once all the relevant contracts contemplated in it have been entered into by the parties.

Capital Structure

The capital structure of the Issuer is mainly regulated in clause 23.2 of the Terms of Tender. In accordance with

such clause, the share capital of the Issuer shall be at least equal to the 20% of the total initial investment. At the

time of the constitution of the Issuer, the share capital shall be (i) entirely subscribed, and (ii) at least 25% shall

be paid-up. The total share capital shall be paid within two years of the Issuer being constituted in one or more

payments. The share capital may not be reduced without the corresponding authorisation by the Authority.

The Construction Contract

The Construction Contract was entered into on 31 July 2013 by the Issuer and the Contractor. It is governed by

Spanish law. Under Spanish law, a "Unión Temporal de Empresas" or joint venture vehicle (a JVV) is a

temporary (commercial) association whose partners are jointly and severally liable for the JVV's obligations.

The purpose of the Construction Contract is to pass from the Issuer to the Contractor those risks, liabilities and

obligations of the Issuer contained in the Concession Agreement which relate to the execution of the Works and

the remedying of defects therein. Accordingly, the Construction Contract is back-to-back with the provisions of

the Concession Agreement for the development of the Works and contains a full pass through of the design and

construction risks, liabilities and obligations assumed by the Issuer in the Concession Agreement, subject, save

some exceptions, to agreed liability caps.

The Construction Contract is a lump sum, turnkey contract, which provides for:

(a) a fixed, non-revisable price; and

(b) a fixed delivery period.

Term

The Works had to be completed within 22 and 24 months, depending on the Road section, and according to the

timeline attached to the Construction Contract, from the date of issuance of the Start-up Certificate (Acta de

Comprobación de Replanteo) on 11 July 2013. These terms are measured until the issuance of the Completion

55

Certificate (Acta de Comprobación de las Obras). In any event, Works had to be finished within 29 months and

31 months, depending on the Road section, from the execution date of the Concession Agreement.

Finally, the Works for all Road sections were completed on 11 May 2015.

Bonding requirements

The obligations of the Contractor under the Construction Contract are secured by one or more bonds that are

payable on first demand to the Issuer (the Construction Performance Bonds).

The Construction Performance Bonds have been issued as follows:

(a) 2 performance bonds for an amount equal to €3,594,114 each in favour of the Issuer, issued by Banco

Santander, S.A. on 7 and 8 August 2013, respectively, to guarantee the obligations of the advance

payments given by the Issuer to the Contractor. This performance bond mirrors the Concession

Performance Bond; and

(b) 2 performance bonds for an amount equal to €10,999,842 each issued by Banco Bilbao Vizcaya

Argentaria, S.A. on 31 July 2013 and 1 August 2013, respectively, to guarantee the obligations of the

Contractor under the Construction Contract.

Contractor's Obligations

The Contractor is required to design, execute and complete the Works, and remedy defects therein, in

accordance with the Construction Contract. The Contractor is also required to obtain and maintain all insurance

policies requested by the Issuer in relation to the Works. In particular, the Contractor will have to obtain and

maintain the following insurance policies:

(a) an all risk works' insurance policy covering risks for a total amount of €148,204,555.43. Such

insurance policy will include two additional insurance policies:

(i) a civil liability risks insurance policy covering risks for a total amount of €3,000,000; and

(ii) an advance loss of profit insurance policy covering risks for a total amount of €20,785,416.67;

(b) an accident insurance policy covering risks during the term of the Construction Contract with the

following conditions:

(i) the persons covered under the insurance policy shall be technical experts from the Authority;

and

(ii) risks will be covered for a total amount of €600,000.

The Construction Contract contemplates the execution of Works, and payment for such Works, in accordance

with "milestones" or "phases".

Construction Price

In consideration of the performance by the Contractor of its obligations under the Construction Contract, the

Issuer agrees to pay the Contractor a fixed design and build price. The aggregate consideration for the Works is

€146,664,553, plus VAT (the Construction Price).

The Construction Price is payable in monthly instalments against the achievement of pre-agreed milestones. The

monthly invoice for payment is based on the value of the Works carried out by the Contractor during the

preceding month and shall show the basis upon which the monthly invoice is calculated.

The Construction Price has already been paid.

56

Back-to-Back Principle

The underlying principle of the Construction Contract is that the Contractor assumes under the Construction

Contract all the risks, liabilities and obligations of the Issuer under the Concession Agreement which relate to

the design, execution and completion of the Works and the remedying of defects therein as well as all other

obligations explicitly expressed to be assumed by the Contractor under the Construction Contract, subject, save

some exceptions, to agreed liability caps.

The Contractor will only be entitled under the Construction Contract to obtain the same additional payment,

indemnification, extension of time or other relief or benefit as the Issuer receives under the Concession

Agreement, to the extent it relates to the Works or affects the rights and obligations of the Contractor under the

Construction Contract.

Defects liability

The Contractor is liable to the Issuer for any penalties or deductions to the Issuer regarding the Availability

Payment imposed by the Authority due to any defects in the Works. Liability of the Contractor under this

circumstance is not subject to any liability cap as explained below.

The Contractor is responsible for remedying any defects in the Works.

Contractor's Default

In the event of a breach by the Contractor of its obligations under the Construction Contract, the Issuer's rights

include, among others:

(a) claiming compensation; or

(b) enforcing the Construction Performance Bonds (through the Security Agent as established in the Direct

Agreement).

Penalties and Limitation of liability

The Contractor's aggregate liability under the Construction Contract to the Issuer is subject to a maximum cap

of 45% of the Construction Price.

The maximum cap of 45% does not apply: (i) in any case of fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct by the

Contractor; (ii) if such limitation of liability is expressly prohibited by applicable law; (iii) in case of any

complaint by a third party or the Authority in relation to the Works for reasons attributable to the Contractor;

(iv) in case of damages and prejudices (daños y perjuicios), sanctions or penalties imposed by the Authority to

the Issuer in case of latent defects in the Works for reasons attributable to the Contractor; or (v) to any moneys

paid by the insurance companies which are not destined to repair the Works and those amounts not paid by the

insurance companies as a consequence of the Contractor failing to meet the requirements needed to claim for the

insurance compensation.

SUMMARY OF THE FINANCE DOCUMENTS

Security Trust and Subordination Deed

The Issuer, the Shareholders, the Security Agent, the Bond Trustee, the Agent and the Account Bank have

entered into the English law governed Security Trust and Subordination Deed on the Closing Date. The Security

Trust and Subordination Deed, among other things, governs the relationships and rights and obligations among

the Shareholders and the Secured Creditors (as described below), including, without limitation, the ranking of

their claims against the Issuer, the enforcement of the Security and the turnover of proceeds received by the

Shareholders or the Secured Creditors and application of such proceeds and proceeds from an enforcement of

the Security by the Security Agent.

Prior to the Final Discharge Date, the Shareholders may not take certain enforcement action in respect of the

Shareholder Liabilities unless the Security Agent has agreed.

The Security Trust and Subordination Deed contains provisions in respect of the Security Agent's holding of the

Security on behalf of the Secured Creditors, by way of a parallel debt mechanism whereby the Issuer agrees to

pay the Security Agent, as an independent and separate creditor, an amount equal to the amount which it owes to

a Secured Creditor (including the Security Agent) under or in connection and in accordance with the Finance

Documents.

All amounts received or recovered by the Security Agent pursuant to the terms of the Shareholder Documents

and the Finance Documents or in connection with the realisation or enforcement of the Security are to be

applied by the Security Agent in accordance with the Post-Enforcement Priority of Payments (See "Transaction

Overview – Post-Enforcement Priorities of Payments" above).

Account Bank Agreement

The Finance Documents require the Issuer to operate the Accounts in accordance with the English law governed

Account Bank Agreement between the Issuer, the Account Bank, the Bond Trustee and the Security Agent.

Under the Account Bank Agreement, the Issuer appoints Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. as the Account

Bank and must maintain the General Account, Debt Service Reserve Account, Maintenance Reserve Account,

Insurance and Disposal Proceeds Account and (if opened) the Expropriation Reserve Account, in the name of

the Issuer at the Account Bank.

All amounts payable to or receivable by the Issuer including but not limited to income from the Project must be

promptly paid into the General Account, subject to certain exceptions including in the case of amounts required

to be paid into other Project Accounts.

The Issuer may only withdraw from the General Account for the purposes and in the order specified in the

Account Bank Agreement. For more details on this payment waterfall, see "Transaction Overview – Pre-

Enforcement Priorities of Payment" above.

Bond Trust Deed

The Issuer and Bond Trustee have entered into an English law governed Bond Trust Deed on the Closing Date

under which, among other things, the Bonds were constituted and the Issuer's covenant to the Bond Trustee

(which holds the benefit of the covenant on trust for the Bondholders) to pay the principal and interest on the

Bonds in accordance with the Conditions is provided for.

Agency Agreement

Pursuant to the Agency Agreement entered into between the Issuer, the Bond Trustee and the Agent on the

Closing Date, provision has been made for, among other things, payment of principal and interest in respect of

60

the Bonds. The Agency Agreement (and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it)

is governed by English law.

Direct Agreement

The Contractor, the Issuer and the Security Agent (acting in its own name and in the name and on behalf of the

Secured Creditors) have entered into a direct agreement, governed by Spanish law, under which the Contractor

assumes certain responsibilities in favour of the Secured Creditors with the aim of mitigating the potential

construction risks related to the Works. The Direct Agreement replaces the former direct agreement entered into

between the Contractor, the Issuer and certain financial entities on 31 July 2013 and amends several clauses of

the Construction Contract described in the section of this Offering Circular headed "Description of the

Concession Agreement and the Construction Contract" to adapt it to the issue of the Bonds and financing of the

Project.

Under the Direct Agreement, the Contractor and the Issuer shall not amend, desist from their rights and

obligations and/or subrogate a third party in their contractual position under the Construction Contract without

the prior written consent of the Security Agent, except if such amendments are mandatorily requested by the

Authority. The Contractor shall notify the Issuer, the Security Agent and the Technical Adviser of any event that

may entitle the Contractor to terminate the Construction Contract early. In this case a negotiation period and a

restructuring plan process will be opened.

The Direct Agreement shall remain in force as long as the obligations of the Contractor under the Construction

Contract are outstanding.

Initial Security Documents

On the Closing Date, the following Initial Security Documents have been granted:

(a) a Spanish law deed (póliza) of a first ranking non-possessory pledge granted by the Issuer over the

credit rights, present and future, arising in its favour from: (i) the Project Documents, (ii) certain

Insurances with regard to the Project, (iii) and any letter of credit (avales) granted with regards to the

Project, including the Expropriation Letters of Credit and the Construction Performance Bonds,

in its favour from the Project Accounts, attested by the Notary Public of Madrid, Mr. Javier Navarro-

Rubio Serres; and

(c) a Spanish law deed (póliza) of a first ranking pledge granted by the Shareholders over the Issuer's share

capital, attested by the Notary Public of Madrid, Mr. Javier Navarro-Rubio Serres.

As indicated in the section of this Offering Circular “Risks Factors – Risk Factors Relating to the Security” the

validity and effectiveness of such documents are subject to the fulfilment of a condition subsequent (condición

suspensiva) and completion of certain perfection requirements.

The Bonds are registered with the Spanish Sociedad de Gestión de los Sistemas de Registro,

Compensación y Liquidación de Valores, S.A. Unipersonal, with its registered address at Plaza de la

Lealtad, 1, Madrid (Iberclear) as managing entity of the central registry of the Spanish clearing and

settlement system (Iberclear) that records all aggregate securities balances for each of its participating

entities (entidades participantes) (the Iberclear Members). Each Bondholder's title to the

corresponding principal amount of the Bonds is set out in the registries maintained by the respective

Iberclear Member or Iberclear itself if the Bondholder is an Iberclear Member.

Investors in the Bonds who do not have, directly or indirectly through their custodians, a participating

account with Iberclear may participate in the Bonds through bridge accounts maintained by each of

Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (Euroclear) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme, Luxembourg

(Clearstream, Luxembourg) with Iberclear.

2.2 Title

In accordance with Article 15 of Royal Decree Law 116/1992 of 14 February on the representation of

securities through book entries and clearing and settlement of securities transactions (Real Decreto

116/1992, de 14 de febrero, sobre representación de valores por medio de anotaciones en cuenta y

compensación y liquidación de operaciones bursátiles) (RD 116/1992), each person shown in the

registries maintained by the respective Iberclear Members or Iberclear itself if the Bondholder is an

Iberclear Member, as being a holder of Bonds, shall be considered the holder of the principal amount of

the Bonds recorded therein and Bondholder shall be construed accordingly.

One or more certificates (each a Certificate) attesting to the relevant Bondholder's holding of the

Bonds in the relevant registry will be delivered by the relevant Iberclear Member or, where the

Bondholder is itself an Iberclear Member, by Iberclear (in each case, in accordance with the

requirements of Spanish law and the relevant Iberclear Member's or, as the case may be, Iberclear's

procedures) to such Bondholder upon such Bondholder's request.

Each Bondholder will be treated by the Issuer, Bond Trustee, Security Agent and Agent (except as

The Bonds are issued without any restrictions on their transferability. In accordance with Article 12 of

RD 116/1992, title to securities represented through book entries (as is the case with regard to the

Bonds) may pass through book transfer. Consequently, the Bonds may be transferred and title to the

be prepared by reference to the Financial Model, but which may include modifications to the

assumptions included and/or the methodology and formulae used in the Financial Model as it deems fit.

(b) The Issuer shall, in relation to each Updated Base Case:

(i) ensure that the modifications to the assumptions included and/or the methodology and

6. INTEREST

6.1 Interest Rate and Payment Dates

The Bonds bear interest from and including the Closing Date at the rate of 3.169 per cent. per annum,

payable semi-annually in arrears on each Bond Payment Date and calculated on the Principal Amount

Outstanding of each Bond. The aggregate scheduled interest payment in respect of the Bonds on each

Bond Payment Date will be as set out in the table in Condition 7.2 (Scheduled Redemption).

Accordingly, each Bond will (unless previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled as provided in

Conditions 7.3 (Mandatory Early Redemption – Termination Notice), 7.5 (Redemption for Taxation)

and 7.6 (Optional Redemption), on each Bond Payment Date, be entitled to receive an amount of

interest equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate scheduled interest payment for that Bond Payment

Date (with such pro rata amount being calculated per €1,000 in nominal amount of the Bond and

rounded down to the nearest cent).

6.2 Interest Accrual

Each Bond will cease to bear interest from and including its due date for redemption unless, upon due

presentation, payment of the principal in respect of the Bond is improperly withheld or refused or

unless default is otherwise made in respect of payment, in which event interest shall continue to accrue

as provided in the Trust Deed.

6.3 Calculation of Broken Interest

When interest is required to be calculated in respect of a period of less than a full period, it shall be

calculated on the basis of: (i) the actual number of days in the period from and including the date from

which interest begins to accrue to but excluding the date on which it falls due divided by (ii) 360.

7. REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE

7.1 Final Redemption

Unless previously redeemed, or purchased and cancelled, the Bonds shall be redeemed at their

Principal Amount Outstanding on the Final Maturity Date.

7.2 Scheduled Redemption

Each Bond shall, subject to Condition 7.3 (Mandatory Early Redemption – Termination Notice),

Condition 7.5 (Redemption for Taxation) and Condition 7.6 (Optional Redemption), be repaid in semi-

annual instalments such that on each Bond Payment Date the outstanding principal amount of the

Bonds then outstanding will be as set out next to that Bond Payment Date in the table below (as the

same may be amended in accordance with Conditions 7.4 (Mandatory Prepayment – Equity Cure) and

reduced accordingly.

(c) If the Relevant Prepayment Amount, when aggregated with the amount of any previous prepayments

(if any) made under this Condition 7.4, exceeds €35,000,000, then the Issuer shall, in respect of each

Bonds in respect of which Additional Amounts are required to be paid (in both cases, the Tax

Redemption Bonds), in each case, in whole (but not in part) at their Principal Amount Outstanding as

at the relevant Redemption Date, which shall fall on a Bond Payment Date, together with interest

accrued to but excluding the Redemption Date on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice

to the Agent and to the Bondholders in accordance with Condition 18 (Notices) (which notice shall be

irrevocable), if the Issuer satisfies the Bond Trustee immediately prior to giving such notice that:

(i) it has, or will on the occasion of the next payment due in respect of such Bonds, become

obliged to pay Additional Amounts as provided or referred to in Condition 10 (Taxation) as a

result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of the Relevant Taxing

Jurisdiction, or any change in the published application or official interpretation of such laws

or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date of the Trust

Deed; and

(ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it,

provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date

on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay such Additional Amounts were a payment in respect of the

Tax Redemption Bonds then due.

(b) Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to paragraph (a) above the Issuer shall

deliver to the Bond Trustee an Officer's Certificate confirming that: (i) the obligation referred to in

paragraph (a)(i) above cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it; and

(ii) the Issuer has sufficient funds to redeem the Tax Redemption Bonds at their Principal Amount

Outstanding (as at the relevant Redemption Date), together with interest accrued to but excluding the

Redemption Date, and the Bond Trustee shall be entitled (without further enquiry or liability) to accept

such Officer's Certificate as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the condition precedent set out in

paragraph (a) above, and such opinion and Officer's Certificate (if accepted) shall be conclusive and

binding on the Bondholders.

(c) If the Tax Redemption Bonds do not constitute all of the Bonds then outstanding, upon redemption, the

Issuer shall deliver a revised Redemption Schedule, on the basis that the Principal Amount Outstanding

of the Tax Redemption Bonds reduced subsequent Principal Payments on a pro rata basis and Interest

Payments were reduced accordingly.

7.6 Optional Redemption

(a) On giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days' prior notice to the Bondholders (in accordance with

Condition 18 (Notices)), the Bond Trustee, the Security Agent and the Agent, the Issuer may redeem,

on the Redemption Date, which shall fall on a Bond Payment Date, the Bonds in whole but not in part

provided that: (i) on or prior to the Redemption Date, no Enforcement Notice has been served; and (ii)

the Issuer has, immediately prior to giving such notice, certified to the Bond Trustee that it will have

the necessary funds to pay the Redemption Amount in respect of the relevant Bonds on the Redemption

any Issuer Related Party.

the registered account of the relevant Bondholder maintained by or on behalf of it with a bank that

processes payments in a city in which banks have access to the TARGET2 System, details of which

appear in the records of Iberclear or, as the case may be, the relevant Iberclear Member at close of

business on the day immediately preceding the date on which the payment of principal, premium (if

any) or interest, as the case may be, falls due. Bondholders must rely on the procedures of Iberclear or,

as the case may be, the relevant Iberclear Member to receive payments under the relevant Bonds. None

of the Issuer, the Bond Trustee or the Agent will have any responsibility or liability for the records

relating to payments made in respect of the Bonds.

(b) All payments: (i) are subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal or other laws and regulations; and (ii)

must be made without set-off, deduction or counterclaim, without prejudice, in the case of paragraphs

in respect of such payments.

(c) Bondholders will not be entitled to any interest or other payment for any delay after the due date in

receiving the amount due as a result of the due date not being a business day. In this Condition 8,

withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any law implementing European Council Directive

2003/48/EC or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform

to, such directive; and

(ii) so long as the Bonds are listed on any Stock Exchange or admitted to listing by any other

relevant authority as MARF, an Agent with a specified office in such place as may be required

by the rules and regulations of the relevant Stock Exchange or such other relevant authority.

(e) The initial specified office of the Agent is:

C/Sauceda 28, Ed. Oceanía 1ª Planta, 28050 Madrid.

(f) Notice of any change in the Agent or its specified office shall as soon as reasonably practicable be

given or procured to be given to the Bondholders and MARF by the Issuer in accordance with

Condition 18 (Notices).

(g) In acting under the Agency Agreement, the Agent acts solely as agent of the Issuer and, in certain

limited circumstances specified therein, of the Bond Trustee and does not assume any obligation to, or

84

permitting any entity into which the Agent is merged or converted or with which it is consolidated or to

which it transfers all or substantially all of its assets to become the successor Agent.

9. PRESCRIPTION

(a) Claims in respect of principal and premium shall become void unless made within a period of ten years

10. TAXATION

(a) All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Bonds by or on behalf of the Issuer shall be

made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or

future Tax imposed or levied on such payments by or within Spain or by or within any department,

political sub-division or governmental authority of or in Spain having power to tax (each, a Relevant

Taxing Jurisdiction), unless the Issuer is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law. In that event

(being a Gross-Up Event), the Issuer shall pay such additional amounts (Additional Amounts) as may

be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by each Bondholder after such withholding or

deduction (including any withholding or deduction in respect of any Additional Amounts) shall not be

less than the amount the Bondholder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or

deducted.

(b) The Issuer shall not, however, pay Additional Amounts in respect of any Bond:

(i) held by or on behalf of a holder who is liable for such taxes, duties, assessments or

governmental charges in respect of the Bonds by reason of it having some connection with

Spain (other than: (A) the mere receipt, ownership, holding or disposition of Bonds; (B) by

reason of the receipt of any payments in respect of any Bond; or (C) the exercise or

enforcement of rights under any Bonds);

(ii) held by or on behalf of a holder who does not provide to the Issuer or an agent acting on

behalf of the Issuer the information concerning such holder as may be required in order to

comply with the procedures that may be implemented to comply with any interpretation of

Royal Decree 1065/2007 eventually made by the Spanish tax authorities;

(iii) where such withholding or deduction of such Taxes is imposed on a payment to an individual

and is required to be made pursuant to European Council Directive 2003/48/EC on the

taxation of savings income or any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order

to conform to, this Directive; or

(iv) where any withholding or deduction is required pursuant to an agreement described in Section

1471(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) or otherwise imposed pursuant

to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, any regulations or agreements thereunder, any

official interpretations thereof, or (without prejudice to the provisions of this Condition 10)

any law implementing an intergovernmental approach thereto.

(c) The Issuer shall: (i) make such withholding or deduction as is required by applicable law; and (ii) remit

the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law.

(d) Any reference in these Conditions to any amounts in respect of the Bonds shall be deemed also to refer

to any Additional Amounts which may be payable under this Condition 10 or under any undertakings

given in addition to, or in substitution for, this Condition 10 pursuant to the Trust Deed.

85

(e) If the Issuer becomes subject at any time to any taxing jurisdiction other than Spain, references in these

Conditions, in respect of payments by the Issuer, to Spain shall be construed as references to Spain

and/or such other jurisdiction.

will send to each dealer to which it sells Bonds during the distribution compliance period a confirmation or

other notice setting forth the restrictions on offers and sales of the Bonds within the United States or to, or for

the account or benefit of, U.S. persons. Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them by

Regulation S under the Securities Act.

In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of the offering, an offer or sale of Bonds within the United

States by any dealer (whether or not participating in the offering) may violate the registration requirements of

the Securities Act.

the Hedging Agreements; (ii) pay a success fee to the Shareholders; and (iii) pay other fees related to the Issue.

123

FUNCTIONS OF THE REGISTERED ADVISER (ASESOR REGISTRADO) OF MARF

Registered Adviser

The Issuer has appointed Intermoney Valores, S.V. as its Registered Adviser for the listing of the Bonds

(Intermoney or the Registered Adviser). Intermoney is a company incorporated before the Notary of Madrid,

Mr Antonio Huerta Trólez, on 14 May 1998, under number 1,200 of his official records, registered in the

Madrid Companies Register in Volume 13,186, Page 164, Sheet M-213521, Inscription 1st.

As Registered Adviser, Intermoney is required to assist the Issuer with: (i) the admission of the Bonds on

MARF; (ii) its compliance with any obligations and responsibilities deriving from the Issuer having issued the

Bonds on MARF; (iii) the preparation and presentation of financial and business information required by the

Issuer's participation on MARF; and (iv) the review of any such information to ensure that it complies with the

applicable standards. The Registered Adviser will assist the Issuer in complying with its obligations and

responsibilities as an issuer of securities on MARF and will act as specialised facilitator between MARF and the

Issuer.

The Registered Adviser shall provide MARF with the periodic reports required by it and MARF, in turn, may

request from the Registered Adviser any information it deems necessary in connection with the Registered

Adviser's role (and obligations as Registered Adviser). MARF may take any measures in order to check the

information that has been provided.

Whilst the Bonds are admitted to trading on MARF, the Issuer must have named a Registered Adviser that is

listed on MARF's "Registered Advisers Market Registry".

Confirmations of the Registered Adviser

The Registered Adviser, with respect to the admission of the Bonds to trading on MARF, confirms:

(a) that the Issuer complies with the MARF regulations in relation to the admission of the Bonds to

trading;

(b) that it has assisted the Issuer in preparing the Offering Circular and has reviewed all information

provided by the Issuer to MARF in connection with the application for admission to trading of the

Bonds on MARF; and

(c) that the information provided by the Issuer complies, to the best of the Registered Adviser's knowledge,

with the requirements of the applicable laws and contains no omission likely to mislead potential

investors.

Obligations of the Registered Adviser

Once the Bonds are admitted to trading on MARF, the Registered Adviser will:

(a) review the information that the Issuer prepares and send to MARF periodically or on an ad hoc basis,

and verify that the content meets the requirements and time limits provided in the MARF rules and

regulations;

(b) advise the Issuer on any factors that might affect the Issuer's compliance with its obligations as an

issuer of Bonds that have been admitted to trading on MARF and provide advice as to how to avoid

breaching such obligations;

(c) inform MARF of any facts that would constitute a breach by the Issuer of its obligations in the event of

a potential material breach by the Issuer that had not been cured by the Registered Adviser's advice;

and

124

(d) manage, attend and answer queries and requests for information from MARF that MARF may request

in relation to the situation of the Issuer, the evolution of its activity, the level of performance of its

obligations and such other market data deemed relevant.

To this effect, the Registered Adviser shall perform the following actions:

(a) maintain regular and necessary contact with the Issuer and analyse exceptional situations that may

occur in the evolution of the market price, trading volume and other relevant circumstances in the

trading of the Bonds;

(b) sign such statements as may be required under the MARF regulations as a result of the admission to

trading of the Bonds on MARF; and

(c) send to MARF, as soon as possible, any information received from the Issuer in response to enquiries

and requests for information that MARF may have.

Breaches by the Registered Adviser

Any breach by the Registered Adviser of its obligations to MARF may result in MARF taking any of the

following measures:

(a) a written warning which would be required to result in the adoption by the Registered Adviser of steps

to cure any breaches. The Managing Director or the Market Supervision Committee of MARF has the

power to issue such written warning;

(b) a suspension of the Registered Adviser by MARF which would result in a ban on the Registered

Adviser being appointed in such role by new issuers. This measure does not affect previous

appointments and thus the Registered Adviser may continue to act as Registered Adviser regarding

such existing issuers; and/or

(c) removal of the Registered Adviser from the Registered Advisers Market Registry.

The measures listed in (b) and (c) of this paragraph (above) must be agreed upon by the board of directors of

AIAF following a report of the Securities Incorporation Commission (Comisión de Incorporación de Valores)

and after hearing the Registered Adviser concerned. Such measures shall be communicated to the CNMV on the

same day of their adoption, and subsequently published on MARF's website.

125

SUMMARY OF CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES APPLICABLE TO BOOK-

ENTRY NOTES

Below is a brief summary of the Spanish clearance and settlement procedures applicable to book-entry notes

such as the Bonds.

Iberclear

Iberclear is the Spanish central securities depository in charge of both the register of securities held in book-

entry form, and the clearing and settlement of all trades from the Spanish Stock Exchanges, Latibex (the Latin

American stock exchange denominated in euro), the Book-Entry Public Debt Market, the Alternative Stock

Market (MAB), MARF and AIAF. To achieve this, Iberclear uses two technical platforms, SCLV (for the

Spanish Stock Exchanges, Latibex and the Alternative Stock Market (MAB)) and CADE (for The Book-Entry

Public Debt Market, AIAF and MARF).

Iberclear is owned by Bolsas y Mercados Españoles, Sociedad Holding de Mercados y Sistemas Financieros,

S.A., a holding company, which holds a 100% interest in each of the Spanish official secondary markets and

settlement systems.

Iberclear Securities Registration System

Iberclear and the Iberclear Members have, among others, the function of keeping the book-entry register of

securities traded on MARF.

The book-entry register structure is divided into: (i) the Spanish Central Registry managed by Iberclear, that

reflects the aggregate balance of the securities held by each of the Iberclear Members (segregated into the

Iberclear Members' own account and accounts held on behalf of third parties); and (ii) an itemised individual

register managed by each of the Iberclear Members, in which securities are listed under the security owner's

name.

Spanish law considers the legal owner of the securities to be:

(a) the Iberclear Member appearing in the records of Iberclear as holding the relevant securities in its own

name; or

(b) the investor appearing in the records of the Iberclear Member as holding the securities.

Iberclear Settlement of securities traded on MARF

Securities traded on MARF are private fixed-income securities represented in the form of book entries.

In the MARF settlement system, transactions may be settled spot transactions, forward transactions (settlement

date more than five days after the relevant trade date), with a repurchase agreement on a fixed date and double

or simultaneous transactions (two trades in opposite directions with different settlement dates).

The settlement system used for securities admitted to listing on MARF is the Model 1 delivery versus payment

system, as per the classification of the Bank for International Settlements: that is, it is a "transaction-to-

transaction" cash and securities settlement system, simultaneous in its finality.

Transactions are settled on the business day agreed by participants at the moment of the trade.

Settlement Cycles: the CADE Platform

The process of settling all reported trades with a value date on a specific day is be carried out in three phases:

(a) First settlement cycle;

(b) Real-time settlement; and

126

(c) Session close.

The first cycle includes all transactions reported to CADE up to 6.00pm of D-1, and these are settled if sufficient

funds and an adequate securities balance are available in the pertinent accounts.

The real-time settlement process is carried out between 7.00am and 4.00pm of the settlement day, and the

system first checks if a sufficient securities balance is available. If it is available, but the buyer of the securities

does not have available funds, the order is rejected and returned to CADE, and placed in a queue. The process is

periodically activated until enough balance is available in the relevant accounts to settle outstanding orders with

finality. If the balance in the seller's securities account is insufficient, the transaction is placed in a queue. When

a credit is lodged in a securities account, the system checks whether queued orders can be processed.

At the end of the day, the system tries one last time to settle all transactions not settled in the first cycle or

during the process in real time. The settlement cycle at the end of the day takes place at 5.00pm.

If the seller's securities account has sufficient balance, the system checks – by means of a comparison with the

payment side – whether there is also sufficient balance in the buyer's cash account. That is, securities and cash

are not immediately blocked. Once the transfers of securities and cash have been executed, each of the

transactions is considered final.

Potential Changes

Notwithstanding the above, it should be noted that Law 32/2011 of 4 October, which amends Law 24/1988 of

28 July on the Securities Market (Ley 32/2011, de 4 de octubre, por la que se modifica la Ley 24/1988, de 28

julio, del Mercado de Valores), provides for certain changes that are yet to be implemented in the Spanish

clearing, settlement and registry procedures of securities transactions. These will modify the system and allow

for the integration of the post-trading Spanish systems into the TARGET2 System (TARGET2), which is

scheduled to be fully implemented in February 2017.

The project to reform Spain's clearing, settlement and registry system and its connection to the TARGET2

System (the Reform) introduces significant new features that affect all classes of securities and all post-trade

activities.

The Reform will be implemented in two phases:

(a) The first phase will take place during the last quarter of 2015 and will involve setting up a new system

for equities to include all the changes envisaged in the Reform, including the creation of a central

clearing counterparty in post-trade whose design must be compatible with the TARGET2 System

(messages, account structure, definition of operations, etc.). Accordingly, the SCLV (Servicio de

Compensación y Liquidación de Valores) platform will be discontinued.

That system will continue to settle by the current deadline of T+3, although that should be reduced to

T+2 within a period of two to three months since that is the settlement period in the proposed

regulation on improving securities settlement in the European Union and on central securities

depositories (CSDs).

The CADE (Central de Anotaciones de Deuda Pública) platform will continue to operate unchanged

and cash settlements in the new system will be made in the TARGET2-Bank of Spain cash accounts, as

they are currently.

(b) The second phase will be implemented to coincide with Iberclear's connection to the TARGET2

System, scheduled for the first quarter of 2017. At that time, fixed-income securities will be transferred

to the new system, and CADE will be discontinued.

Equities will also be settled in accordance with the procedures and time periods of the TARGET2

System, so that the interim settlement procedure used in the first phase will be discontinued.

127

The second phase will entail unifying the registry and settlement approach for both equities and fixed-

income.

128

TAXATION

European Union directive on taxation of savings income

Under the EU Savings Directive, EU Member States are required to provide to the tax authorities of other EU

Member States details of certain payments of interest or similar income paid or secured by a person established

in a Member State to or for the benefit of an individual resident in another EU Member State or certain limited

types of entities established in another EU Member State.

For a transitional period, Austria is required (unless during that period it elects otherwise) to operate a

withholding system in relation to such payments (subject to a procedure whereby, on meeting certain conditions,

the beneficial owner of the interest or other income may request that no tax be withheld). The end of the

transitional period is dependent upon the conclusion of certain other agreements relating to information

exchange with certain other countries. A number of non-EU countries and territories including Switzerland have

adopted similar measures (a withholding system in the case of Switzerland).

On 24 March 2014, the Council of the European Union adopted a Council Directive (the Amending Directive)

amending and broadening the scope of the requirements described above. The Amending Directive requires EU

Member States are required to apply these new requirements from 1 January 2017. The changes will expand the

range of payments covered by the EU Savings Directive, in particular to include additional types of income

payable on securities. The Amending Directive will also expand the circumstances in which payments that

indirectly benefit an individual resident in a Member State must be reported. This approach will apply to

payments made to, or secured for, persons, entities or legal arrangements (including trusts) where certain

conditions are satisfied, and may in some cases apply where the person, entity or arrangement is established or

effectively managed outside of the European Union.

However, in March 2015, the European Commission proposed the repeal of the Savings Directive from 1

January 2017 in the case of Austria and from 1 January 2016 in the case of all other Member States (subject to

on-going requirements to fulfil administrative obligations such as the reporting and exchange of information

relating to, and accounting for withholding taxes on, payments made before those dates and certain other

transitional provisions in the case of Austria). This is to prevent overlap between the Savings Directive and a

new automatic exchange of information regime to be implemented under Council Directive 2011/16/EU on

Administrative Cooperation in the field of Taxation (as amended by Council Directive 2014/107/EU). The

proposal also provides that, if it proceeds, Member States will not be required to apply the new requirements of

the Amending Directive.

U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Withholding

TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, PROSPECTIVE

PURCHASERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX

ISSUES IN THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE RELIED UPON,

AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON, BY ANY PERSON FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES

THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON SUCH PERSON UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (B) SUCH

DISCUSSION IS INCLUDED HEREIN BY THE ISSUER IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR

MARKETING (WITHIN THE MEANING OF CIRCULAR 230) BY THE ISSUER OF THE

TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS

SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN

INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISER.

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and U.S. Treasury regulations

promulgated thereunder that took effect on 28 January 2013, as amended from time to time (together FATCA)

impose a new reporting regime and potentially a 30% withholding tax with respect to certain payments to (i) any

129

non-U.S. financial institution (a foreign financial institution, or FFI (as defined by FATCA)) that does not

become a participating FFI by entering into an agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to

provide the IRS with certain information in respect of its account holders and investors or is not otherwise

exempt from or in deemed compliance with FATCA; and (ii) any investor (unless otherwise exempt from

FATCA) that does not provide information sufficient to determine whether such investor is a U.S. person or

should otherwise be treated as holding a United States Account of the Issuer (a Recalcitrant Holder).

FATCA implementation is being phased in from 1 July 2014 for payments from sources within the United

States and is currently proposed to apply to "foreign passthru payments" (a term not yet defined) made by an

FFI to a non-participating FFI or Recalcitrant Holder no earlier than 1 January 2017. This withholding would

potentially apply to payments in respect of: (i) any Bonds issued or materially modified on or after the

"grandfathering date", which is the later of: (a) 1 July 2014; and (b) the date that is six months after the date on

which final U.S. Treasury regulations defining the term 'foreign passthru payment' are filed with the Federal

Register; and (ii) any Bonds characterised as equity or which do not have a fixed term for U.S. federal tax

purposes, whenever issued.

The United States and a number of other jurisdictions announced their intention to enter into intergovernmental

agreements to facilitate the implementation of FATCA (each, an IGA). In some cases such IGAs have been

signed; in other cases, negotiations are still ongoing. Pursuant to FATCA and the "Model 1" and "Model 2"

IGAs released by the United States, most FFIs in an IGA signatory country should be treated as "Reporting FIs"

that would generally not be subject to withholding under FATCA on any payments they receive. Further, an FFI

in a Model 1 Intergovernmental Agreement (Model 1 IGA) jurisdiction should not be required to withhold

under FATCA or an IGA (or any law implementing an IGA or agreement with the IRS relating to FATCA) (any

such withholding being a FATCA Withholding) from payments it makes (except, in certain limited

circumstances). Under the Model 1 IGA, a Reporting FI would still be required to report certain information in

respect of its accountholders and investors to its home government, unless it is treated as exempt from having

"financial accounts" for FATCA purposes. As announced in Notice 2013-43 and Notice 2014-17, the U.S. IRS

is maintaining a list of jurisdictions that will be treated as having in effect or agreed in substance an IGA, even

though that IGA may not have entered into force as of 1 July 2014.

The United States and Spain have entered into an agreement (the "U.S.-Spain IGA") based largely on the

Model 1 IGA.

Subject to complying with Spanish law implementing the US-Spain IGA, the Issuer is currently not expected to

suffer any FATCA Withholding. Although the Issuer will attempt to satisfy any obligations imposed on it to

avoid the imposition of FATCA Withholding, no assurance can be given that the Issuer will be able to satisfy

these obligations. The imposition of any FATCA withholding taxes on the Issuer (for example, if it fails to

comply with its obligations under the Spanish legislation implementing the US-Spain IGA) could materially

affect the Issuer's financial ability to make payments or could reduce such payments on the Bonds. No other

funds will be available to the Issuer to make up any such shortfall.

The Issuer is not expected to be required to make any FATCA Withholding from the payments it makes. There

can be no assurance, however, that the Issuer would not in the future be required to deduct FATCA Withholding

from future payments. Accordingly, the Issuer and financial institutions through which payments on the Bonds

are made may be required to withhold FATCA Withholding if: (i) any FFI through or to which payment on such

Bonds is made is not a participating FFI, a Reporting FI, or otherwise exempt from or in deemed compliance

with FATCA; or (ii) an investor is a Recalcitrant Holder.

If a FATCA Withholding were to be made from interest, principal or other payments made in respect of the

Bonds, neither the Issuer nor any paying agent nor any other person would, pursuant to the conditions of the

Bonds, be required to pay any additional amounts as a result of the FATCA Withholding. As a result, investors

may receive less interest or principal than expected.

130

Whilst the Bonds are in global form and held within the ICSDs, it is expected that FATCA will not affect the

amount of any payments made under, or in respect of, the Bonds by the Issuer, any paying agent and the

common depositary, given that each of the entities in the payment chain beginning with (but excluding) the

Issuer and ending with (but including) the participants in the ICSDs is a major financial institution whose

business is dependent on compliance with FATCA and that any alternative approach introduced under an

intergovernmental agreement will be unlikely to affect the Bonds. The documentation expressly contemplates

the possibility that the Bonds may go into definitive form and therefore that they may be taken out of the ICSDs.

If this were to happen, then a non-FATCA compliant holder could be subject to FATCA Withholding.

However, definitive Bonds will be printed only in remote circumstances.

However, FATCA may affect payments made to custodians or intermediaries in the subsequent payment chain

leading to the ultimate investor if any such custodian or intermediary generally is unable to receive payments

free of FATCA Withholding. It may also affect payment to any ultimate investor that is a financial institution

that is not entitled to receive payments free of withholding under FATCA, or an ultimate investor that fails to

provide its broker (or other custodian or intermediary from which it receives payment) with any information,

forms, other documentation or consents that may be necessary for the payments to be made free of FATCA

Withholding. Investors should choose the custodians or intermediaries with care (to ensure that each is

compliant with FATCA or other laws or agreements related to FATCA), and provide each custodian or

intermediary with any information, forms and/or other documentation or consents that may be necessary for

such custodian or intermediary to make a payment free of FATCA Withholding. Investors should consult their

own tax adviser to obtain a more detailed explanation of FATCA and how FATCA may affect them.

FATCA IS PARTICULARLY COMPLEX AND ITS APPLICATION TO THE ISSUER, THE BONDS

AND THE HOLDERS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. EACH HOLDER OF BONDS SHOULD CONSULT

ITS OWN TAX ADVISER TO OBTAIN A MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION OF FATCA AND TO

LEARN HOW FATCA MIGHT AFFECT EACH HOLDER IN ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.

SPANISH TAXATION

Introduction

The following summary describes the main Spanish tax implications arising in connection with the acquisition

and holding of the Bonds by individuals or entities who are the beneficial owners of the Bonds (the

Bondholders and each a Bondholder). The information provided below does not purport to be a complete

analysis of the tax law and practice currently applicable in Spain and does not purport to address the tax

consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules.

All the tax consequences described in this section are based on the general assumption that the Bonds are

initially registered for clearance and settlement in Iberclear.

Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their own tax advisers as to the tax consequences, including

those under the tax laws of the country in which they are resident, of purchasing, owning and disposing of

Bonds.

The summary set out below is based upon Spanish law as in effect on the date of this Offering Circular and is

subject to any change in such law that may take effect after such date, including changes with retroactive effect.

In particular, prospective investors or Bondholders are advised to consider the recently enacted tax reform

approving three different Laws regarding the Personal Income Tax (PIT), the Non-Resident Income Tax

(NRIT), the Corporate Income Tax (CIT) and the Value Added Tax which will affect the taxation of the Bonds

as well as the developments of the Law 10/2014, dated 26 June 2014 (Law 10/2014), recently approved.

This information has been prepared in accordance with the following Spanish tax legislation in force at the date

of this Offering Circular:

131

(a) of general application, Additional Provision One of Law 10/2014 which also applies to debt

instruments issued by Spanish-resident companies and Spanish public entities having corporate form,

as well as Royal Decree 1065/2007, dated 27 July 2007, as amended by Royal Decree 1145/2011,

dated 29 July 2011;

(b) for individuals resident for tax purposes in Spain which are subject to PIT, Law 35/2006, dated 28

November 2006, on PIT, as amended, and Royal Decree 439/2007, dated 30 March 2007, enacting the

PIT Regulations, as amended, along with Law 19/1991, dated 6 June 1991, on Wealth Tax, as

amended, and Law 29/1987, dated 18 December 1987, on Inheritance and Gift Tax (IGT), as amended;

(c) for legal entities resident for tax purposes in Spain which are subject to CIT, Law 27/2014, dated 27

November 2014, applicable to tax periods starting on 1 January 2015, and Royal Decree 1777/2004,

dated 30 July 2004, promulgating the CIT Regulations, as amended; and

(d) for individuals and entities who are not resident for tax purposes in Spain which are subject to NRIT,

Royal Legislative Decree 5/2004, dated 5 March 2004, promulgating the Consolidated Text of the

NRIT Law, as amended, along with Law 19/1991, dated 6 June 1991, on Wealth Tax, as amended, and

Royal Decree 1776/2004, dated 30 July 2004, promulgating the NRIT Regulations, as amended, and

Law 29/1987, dated 18 December 1987, on IGT, as amended.

Indirect taxation

Whatever the nature and residence of the Bondholder, the acquisition and transfer of Bonds will be exempt from

indirect taxes in Spain, i.e. exempt from Transfer Tax and Stamp Duty, in accordance with the Consolidated

Text of such tax promulgated by Royal Legislative Decree 1/1993, dated 24 September 1993, and exempt from

Value Added Tax, in accordance with Law 37/1992, dated 28 December 1992, as amended, regulating such tax.

Direct taxation

The Issuer understands that the Bonds should be deemed as financial assets with an explicit yield for Spanish

tax purposes, according to article 91 of the PIT Regulations and article 61 of the CIT Regulations.

Individuals with tax residency in Spain

Personal Income Tax (Impuesto sobre la Renta de las Personas Físicas)

Both interest periodically received and income derived from the transfer, redemption or repayment of the Bonds

constitute a return on investment obtained from the transfer of a person's own capital to third parties in

accordance with the provisions of article 25.2 of the PIT Law, and must be included in the investor's PIT

savings taxable base.

The PIT savings taxable base is taxed at the following tax rates: (i) for taxable income up to €6,000: 20% as

from 1 January 2015 and 19% as from 1 January 2016 onwards; (ii) for taxable income from €6,001 to €50,000:

22% as from 1 January 2015 and 21% as from 1 January 2016 onwards; and (iii) for any amount in excess of

€50,000: 24% as from 1 January 2015 and 23% as from 1 January 2016 onwards.

Individual investors subject to PIT will be subject to a (current) 20% withholding on account of PIT (which will

be reduced to 19% as from 1 January 2016 onwards) by the Issuer on interest payments as well as on income

derived from the redemption or repayment of the Bonds.

Similarly, a 20% withholding tax (which will be reduced to 19% as from 1 January 2016 onwards) shall apply

on the part of the transfer price that corresponds to the accrued interest when the transfer of the Bonds takes

place within the 30-day period prior to the moment in which such interest is due when the following

requirements are fulfilled:

(a) the acquirer being a non-Spanish tax resident or a CIT taxpayer; and

132

(b) the explicit yield derived from the transfer of the Bonds is exempt from withholding tax.

In any event, the individual Bondholder may credit the withholding tax applied by the Issuer against its final PIT

liability for the relevant tax year.

Wealth Tax (Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio)

According to Royal Decree-law 13/2011, dated 16 September 2011, as amended, and Law 36/2014, dated 26

December 2014, all Spanish-resident individuals are liable for Wealth Tax in 2015, in accordance with the

applicable Spanish regional and state rules. This tax is levied on the net worth of an individual's assets and

rights. General marginal rates range between 0.2% and 2.5% and some reductions could apply. Individuals with

tax residency in Spain who are under the obligation to pay Wealth Tax must take into account the amount of the

Bonds which they hold as at 31 December in each year, when calculating their Wealth Tax liabilities.

Inheritance and Gift Tax (Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y Donaciones)

Individuals who are resident in Spain for tax purposes who acquire ownership or other rights over any Bonds by

inheritance, gift or legacy will be subject to IGT in accordance with the applicable Spanish regional and state

rules. Effective tax rates range between 0% and 81.6% for 2015, depending on relevant factors.

Legal entities with tax residency in Spain

Corporate Income Tax (Impuesto sobre Sociedades)

Both interest periodically received and income derived from the transfer, redemption or repayment of the Bonds

are subject to CIT (at the current general tax rate of 28% which will be reduced to 25% as from year 2016

onwards) in accordance with the rules for such tax.

No withholding on account of CIT will be imposed on interest payments or on income derived from the

redemption or repayment of the Bonds by Spanish CIT taxpayers subject to the fulfilment of the relevant

requirements, as described in "Compliance with certain requirements in connection with income payments"

section below.

With regard to income derived from the transfer of the Bonds, in accordance with article 59.q) of the CIT

Regulations, there is no obligation to withhold on income obtained by Spanish CIT taxpayers (which include

Spanish tax resident investment funds and Spanish tax resident pension funds) provided that the Bonds are:

(a) registered in book-entry form (anotaciones en cuenta); and

(b) negotiated in a Spanish official secondary market (mercado secundario official) or in the Alternative

Fixed-Income Securities Market (Mercado Alternativo de Renta Fija).

Wealth Tax (Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio)

Legal entities resident in Spain for tax purposes that acquire ownership or other rights over the Bonds are not

subject to Wealth Tax.

Inheritance and Gift Tax (Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y Donaciones)

Legal entities resident in Spain for tax purposes that acquire ownership or other rights over the Bonds by

inheritance, gift or legacy are not subject to IGT but generally must include the market value of the Bonds in

their taxable income for CIT purposes.

Individuals and legal entities that are not tax resident in Spain

Investors that are not resident in Spain for tax purposes, acting in respect of the Bonds through a permanent

establishment in Spain

133

Non-Resident Income Tax (Impuesto sobre la Renta de no Residentes)

If the Bonds form part of the assets affected to a permanent establishment in Spain of a person or legal entity

that is not resident in Spain for tax purposes, the tax rules applicable to income deriving from such Bonds are,

generally, the same as those set forth above for Spanish CIT taxpayers. See "Legal entities with tax residency in

Spain – Corporate Income Tax (Impuesto sobre Sociedades)" section above.

Ownership of the Bonds by investors who are not resident in Spain for tax purposes will not in itself create the

existence of a permanent establishment in Spain.

Wealth Tax (Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio)

If the Bonds form part of the assets affected to a permanent establishment in Spain of a person or legal entity

that is not resident in Spain for tax purposes, Wealth Tax will not become applicable.

Inheritance and Gift Tax (Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y Donaciones)

If the Bonds form part of the assets affected to a permanent establishment in Spain of a person or legal entity

that is not resident in Spain for tax purposes, IGT will apply in the same manner as described in "Legal entities

with tax residency in Spain – Inheritance and Gift Tax (Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y Donaciones)" section

above.

Investors that are not resident in Spain for tax purposes, not acting in respect of the Bonds through a permanent

establishment in Spain

Non-Resident Income Tax (Impuesto sobre la Renta de no Residentes)

Both interest payments periodically received under the Bonds and income derived from the transfer, redemption

or repayment of the Bonds, obtained by individuals or entities who are not resident in Spain for tax purposes and

who do not act, with respect to the Bonds, through a permanent establishment in Spain, are exempt from NRIT.

No withholding on account of NRIT will be levied on such income subject to the fulfilment of the relevant

requirements, as described in "Compliance with certain requirements in connection with income payments"

section below.

Wealth Tax (Impuesto sobre el Patrimonio)

In relation to fiscal year 2015, non-Spanish tax resident individuals holding Bonds will be subject to Wealth Tax

to the extent that such Bondholders own Bonds (along with other property located in Spain and rights which

could be exercised in Spain) valued at a combined net amount in excess of €700,000 as of 31 December.

Spanish general Wealth Tax rates vary between 0.2% and 2.5%. To the extent that income deriving from the

Bonds is exempt from NRIT, individuals who do not have tax residency in Spain who hold such Bonds on the

last day of the year will be exempt from Wealth Tax. Furthermore, individuals resident in a country with which

Spain has entered into a double-tax treaty in relation to Wealth Tax will generally be exempt from Wealth Tax.

If the exemptions outlined do not apply, individuals who are not tax resident in Spain will be subject to Wealth

Tax to the extent that the Bonds are located in Spain or the rights deriving from the Bonds can be exercised in

Spain.

Individuals that are not resident in Spain for tax purposes and who are resident in an EU or European Economic

Area Member State may apply the rules approved by the autonomous region where the assets and rights with

more value: (i) are located; (ii) can be exercised; or (iii) must be fulfilled. As such, prospective Bondholders

should consult their tax advisers.

Inheritance and Gift Tax (Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y Donaciones)

Individuals not resident in Spain for tax purposes who acquire ownership or other rights over the Bonds by

inheritance, gift or legacy will be subject to IGT in accordance with the applicable Spanish state rules (EU

individuals not resident in Spain for tax purposes are entitled to apply regional rules), unless they reside for tax

134

purposes in a country with which Spain has entered into a double-tax treaty in relation to IGT. In such case, the

provisions of the relevant double-tax treaty will apply.

If no double-tax treaty in relation to IGT applies, applicable IGT effective tax rates would range between 0%

and 81.6% for 2015, depending on relevant factors.

However, if the deceased, heir or the donee is resident in an EU or European Economic Area Member State,

depending on the specific situation, the applicable rules will be those corresponding to the relevant autonomous

regions according to the law. Accordingly, prospective Bondholders should consult their tax advisers.

Non-Spanish tax resident legal entities that acquire ownership or other rights over the Bonds by inheritance, gift

or legacy are not subject to IGT. Such acquisitions may be subject to NRIT (as described above), unless

otherwise applicable under the provisions of any applicable double-tax treaty entered into by Spain. In general,

double-tax treaties provide for the taxation of this type of income in the country of tax residence of the

Bondholder.

Compliance with certain requirements in connection with income payments

Interest payments made by the Issuer in respect of the Bonds for the benefit of Spanish CIT taxpayers and non-

Spanish tax resident investors will not be subject to Spanish withholding tax, provided that the conditions set

forth in Additional Provision One of Law 10/2014 are met and the Iberclear Members that have the Bonds

registered in their securities account on behalf of third parties, as well as the entities that manage the clearing

systems located outside Spain that have an agreement with Iberclear, if applicable, provide the Issuer, in a

timely manner, with a duly executed and completed statement (a Payment Statement), in accordance with

section 4 of article 44 of Royal Decree 1065/2007, dated 27 July 2007, as amended by Royal Decree 1145/2011,

dated 29 July 2011, containing the following information:

(a) Identification of the Bonds;

(b) Income payment date;

(c) Total amount of the income paid by the Issuer;

(d) Amount of the income corresponding to individual residents in Spain that are PIT taxpayers; and

(e) Amount of the income that must be paid on a gross basis.

If the Iberclear Members fail or for any reason are unable to deliver a duly executed and completed Payment

Statement to the Issuer in a timely manner in respect of a payment of interest made by the Issuer under the

Bonds, the Issuer will make the relevant Spanish withholding tax at the applicable rate (currently 20%, which

will be reduced to 19% as from 1 January 2016 onwards) on such payment of interest and the Issuer will not pay

any additional amounts with respect to any such withholding tax.

If this were to occur, affected Bondholders will receive a refund of the amount withheld, with no need for action

on their part, if the Iberclear Members submit a duly executed and completed Payment Statement to the Issuer

no later than the tenth calendar day of the month immediately following the relevant payment date. In addition,

Bondholders which are not resident in Spain for tax purposes may apply directly to the Spanish tax authorities

for any refund to which they may be entitled, according to the procedures set forth in the Spanish NRIT Law

and its Regulations.

Prospective investors should note that the Issuer does not accept any responsibility relating to the lack of

delivery of a duly executed and completed Payment Statement by the Iberclear Members in connection with

each payment of income under the Bonds. Accordingly, the Issuer will not be liable for any damage or loss

suffered by any Bondholder who would otherwise be entitled to an exemption from Spanish withholding tax

but whose income payments are nonetheless paid net of Spanish withholding tax because the Payment

135

Statement was not duly delivered to the Issuer. Moreover, the Issuer will not pay any additional amounts with

respect to any such withholding tax.

136
