TABLE OF CONTENTS
Certain Conventions
Corporación América Airports S.A., formerly known as A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l., was incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg on December 14, 2012, and is a subsidiary of A.C.I.

Presentation of Financial and Certain Other Information
Presentation of Financial Information
This prospectus contains our audited restated combined consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and January 1, 2015, and for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, which we refer to collectively as our “Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements.” The combined consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, previously issued have been restated due to discovery of an error in our accounting for dispositions of subsidiaries during 2016 and 2015, specifically in connection with the release of the cumulative translation adjustments into earnings. For a discussion of the restatement of previously issued combined consolidated financial statements, see Note 2 to our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
This prospectus also contains our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2017, and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, which we refer to collectively as our ‘‘Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements’’ and together with our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements, the ‘‘Consolidated Financial Statements.’’
We prepare our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). We have applied all IFRS issued by the IASB effective at the time of preparing our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements. We applied IFRS for the first time for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Our opening IFRS statement of financial position was prepared as of our transition date to IFRS, which occurred on January 1, 2015.
We prepare our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting principles used in the preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of
ii

TABLE OF CONTENTS
our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements. Our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with them.
Our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements have been audited by Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L., a member firm of the PricewaterhouseCoopers global network, an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report dated November 17, 2017, is also included in this prospectus.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Our fiscal year ends on December 31 of each year. Accordingly, all references to a particular year are to the year ended December 31 of that year. Some percentages and amounts included in this prospectus have been rounded for ease of presentation. Accordingly, figures shown as totals in certain tables may not be an exact arithmetic aggregation of the figures that precede them.
Our Segments
We have identified seven reportable segments: Argentina, Italy, Brazil, Uruguay, Ecuador, Armenia and Peru. See Note 4 to our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements and “—Adjusted Segment EBITDA.”
Our Reorganization
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, our ultimate controlling shareholder, Southern Cone Foundation, a foundation organized under the laws of Liechtenstein (“SCF” or our “Controlling Shareholder”), elected to complete a reorganization of A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l. and various other entities and businesses under the common control of SCF in order to organize all of our airports business activities under A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l., and to transfer all business activities not related to the airport business to other affiliates (the “Reorganization”). SCF’s business was historically conducted through a large number of entities with no single holding entity, and instead were separately owned by entities directly or indirectly controlled by SCF. SCF effected the Reorganization through several corporate reorganization steps under local laws. None of these transactions affected the common control structure of the entities forming the group. Also, certain other business activities of SCF’s business not related to the airport business were either sold or transferred to other companies and not contributed to us.
A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l. was formed as a private limited liability company ( société à responsabilité limitée ) under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on December 14, 2012. In connection with this offering, on September 14, 2017, A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l. was converted from a Luxembourg private limited liability company into a Luxembourg public limited company ( société anonyme ) and changed its name to Corporación América Airports S.A. (the “Conversion”). Corporación América Airports S.A. is indirectly wholly owned by SCF. In conjunction with the Conversion, all of A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l.’s outstanding equity interests were converted into common shares of Corporación América Airports S.A. Prior to this offering, all of the outstanding equity interests of Corporación América Airports S.A. were owned by the Selling Shareholder.
The Reorganization was effected between entities which were under the common control and common management of our Controlling Shareholder for all periods for which financial statements are presented. Our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB on a combined basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. IFRS provides no guidelines for the preparation of combined consolidated financial statements, which are therefore subject to the rules given in International Accounting Standards (IAS) 8.12. These rules require consideration of the most recent pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies, other financial reporting requirements and recognized industry practices. As described in Note 1 to our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements, we applied the “predecessor accounting approach” in accordance with the rules on accounting for business combinations under common control in combined consolidated financial statements to the entities under the common control of our Controlling Shareholder that were the subject

of the Reorganization. This means that the assets and liabilities of the entities and businesses contributed as part of the Reorganization included in our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements correspond to the historical amounts in the individual financial statements of combined entities (i.e., predecessor values).
Brazilian Consolidation
On December 11, 2015, we acquired from Infravix Participações S.A. (“Infravix”) its 49.95% interest in Inframérica Concessionaria do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. (“ICASGA”). ICASGA is the operator of the Natal Airport in Brazil. As a result of this transaction, we increased our ownership interest in ICASGA from 50.00% to 99.95%.
On December 30, 2015, we acquired from Infravix its 43.05% interest in Inframerica Participações S.A. (“Inframerica”). Inframerica owns a 51.00% interest in Inframérica Concessionaria do Aeroporto do Brasilia S.A. (“ICAB”) while the remaining 49.00% is owned by the Brazilian Government’s company for airport infrastructure, Empresa Brasileira de Infraestrutura Aeroportuária (“Infraero”). ICAB is the operator of the Brasilia Airport in Brazil. As a result of this transaction, we increased our indirect ownership interest in ICAB from 29.02% to 50.98%.
The aforementioned acquisitions of a direct interest in ICASGA and an indirect interest in ICAB through Inframerica are hereinafter referred to as the “Brazilian Consolidation.”
Subsequent to the Brazilian Consolidation, we made additional capital contributions into both ICASGA and ICAB. As of the date of this prospectus, our ownership interest in ICASGA and ICAB is 99.97% and 50.98%, respectively.
We account for these acquisitions of controlling interests under the purchase method of accounting. We have included the operating results related to these acquisitions as from their respective acquisition dates.
For further information on the Brazilian Consolidation, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors Affecting Comparability—The Brazilian Consolidation” and Note 28 to our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements.
Separate Financial Statements of Inframerica and ICASGA
   Significant equity method investments (Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X)
We accounted for our investments in Inframerica and ICASGA using the equity method until December 30, 2015 and December 11, 2015, respectively.
We analyzed both of these equity method investments under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X for significance, based on the two tests outlined in Section 1-02(w) (3) of Regulation S-X, and determined that we were required to provide separate financial statements for these investments.
We are presenting full-year audited financial statements for each of these equity method investments in lieu of the partial-year financial statements required when a registrant ceases accounting for an investment utilizing the equity method during a fiscal year.
Therefore, full-year audited financial statements for each of these equity method investments as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are included in this prospectus.
   Significant acquisitions (Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X)
We analyzed the acquisition of the additional interests in Inframerica and ICASGA and determined that they triggered the significance test exceeding the 50% threshold under Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X (“Rule 3-05”), based on the three tests outlined in Rule 1-02(w) (3) of Regulation S-X. As a result, we are required to present pre-acquisition audited financial statements covering a period of 36 months.
We are using pre-acquisition and post-acquisition periods to satisfy the financial statement requirements of Rule 3-05 in lieu of the acquired companies’ pre-acquisition financial statements.
iv

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Therefore, the pre-acquisition audited financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, are included in this prospectus.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
This prospectus includes unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information in connection with the disposal of Corporación América Europa S.A. (“Corporación América Europa”), which we disposed of on December 15, 2016. Corporación América Europa owned a minority interest in Aeroporto Vincenzo Florio di Trapani Birgi, a small airport in Sicily, Italy.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statement of income is based on our historical statements of income as adjusted to give effect to the disposal of Corporación América Europa as if the transaction had occurred on January 1, 2016.
The disposition of Corporación América Europa triggered the significance test exceeding the 10% threshold under Article 11 of Regulation S-X, based on the tests outlined in Rule 1-02(w) (3) of Regulation S-X and has therefore triggered the requirement for the presentation of unaudited pro forma of condensed combined financial statements. See “—Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Information.”
Adjusted Segment EBITDA
Adjusted Segment EBITDA is defined, with respect to each segment, as income from continuing operations before financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization for such segment. Adjusted Segment EBITDA excludes certain items that are not considered part of our core operating results. Specifically, we do not allocate financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization to our reportable segments.
Although Adjusted Segment EBITDA is commonly viewed as a non-IFRS measure in other contexts, pursuant to IFRS 8, “ Segment Information ,” Adjusted Segment EBITDA is treated as an IFRS measure in the manner in which we utilize this measure. We use Adjusted Segment EBITDA for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to our segments and to internally evaluate their financial performance because we believe it reflects current core operating performance and provides an indicator of the segment’s ability to generate cash.
Non-IFRS Information
Adjusted EBITDA
“Adjusted EBITDA” is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as net income from continuing operations before financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under IFRS and has important limitations as an analytical tool. You should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

excludes certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

does not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;

does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and

does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements, necessary to service our debt.
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA enhances an investor’s understanding of our performance. We believe this measure is a useful metric for investors to assess our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We present Adjusted EBITDA in order to provide supplemental information that we consider relevant for the readers of our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, and such information is not meant to replace or supersede IFRS measures.
v

TABLE OF CONTENTS
In addition, our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods, capital structure or income taxes. We exclude the items listed above from income for the year in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, consolidated net income for the year as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of our operating performance from continuing operations.
Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We have included the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net income from continuing operations for all the periods presented. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net income from continuing operations, see “Selected Consolidated Financial Information.”
Presentation of Industry and Market Data
In this prospectus, we rely on, and refer to, information regarding our business and the markets in which we operate and compete. The market data and certain economic and industry data and forecasts used in this prospectus were obtained from internal surveys, market research, governmental and other publicly available information and independent industry publications. Industry publications, surveys and forecasts generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. We believe that these industry publications, surveys and forecasts are reliable, but we have not independently verified them and cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness.
Certain market share information and other statements presented herein regarding our position relative to our competitors are not based on published statistical data or information obtained from independent third parties, but reflects our best estimates. We have based these estimates upon information obtained from publicly available information from our competitors in the industry in which we operate.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements about our expectations, beliefs and intentions regarding, among other things, our product development efforts, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies, plans and prospects. In addition, from time to time, we or our representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “seek,” “target,” “will,” “project,” “forecast,” “continue” or “anticipate” or their negatives or variations of these words or other comparable words or by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical matters. These forward-looking statements may be included in, among other things, various filings made by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of one of our authorized executive officers. Forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the factors summarized below:

our business strengths and future results of operation;

delays or unexpected casualties related to construction under our investment plan and master plans;

our ability to generate or obtain the requisite capital to fully develop and operate our airports;

general economic, political, demographic and business conditions in the geographic markets we serve;

decrease in passenger traffic;

changes in the fees we may charge under our concession agreements;

inflation, depreciation and devaluation of the AR$, EUR, BRL, UYU, AMD or the PEN against the U.S. dollar;

the early termination, revocation or failure to renew or extend any of our concession agreements;

the buyout of the AA2000 Concession Agreement (as defined herein) by the Argentine Government at any time on or after February 13, 2018;

changes in our investment commitments or our ability to meet our obligations thereunder;

existing and future governmental regulations;

natural disaster-related losses which may not be fully insurable;

terrorism in the international markets we serve;

epidemics, pandemics and other public health crises; and

changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates.
We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, these statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks in this prospectus in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf speak only as of the date hereof and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by applicable law. In evaluating forward-looking statements, you should consider these risks and uncertainties.

Summary
This summary highlights information contained in other parts of this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in our common shares. You should read and carefully consider this entire prospectus before making an investment decision, especially the information presented under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Except as otherwise indicated or required by the context, all references in this prospectus to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Corporación América Airports S.A., or CAAP, and its consolidated subsidiaries, as well as those entities we account for using the equity method.
Overview
We acquire, develop and operate airport concessions. We are the largest private sector airport concession operator in the world based on the number of airports under management and the ninth largest private sector airport operator in the world based on passenger traffic. Currently, we operate 51 airports globally in Latin America, Europe and Eurasia. Since 1998, when we acquired the concession rights related to the management and operation of 33 airports in Argentina, we have expanded the environments and geographies in which we operate airports by acquiring concessions in Armenia, Uruguay, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Italy and additional concessions in Argentina.
We operate some of the largest and most important airports in the countries where we are present, including a large international airport, such as Ezeiza Airport in Argentina, domestic airports such as Brasilia Airport in Brazil and Aeroparque Airport in Argentina, airports in tourist destinations such as Bariloche and Iguazu in Argentina, Galapagos Ecological Airport in Ecuador and Florence Airport in Italy, as well as mid-sized domestic and tourist destination airports.
In our largest and longest established market, Argentina, we operate and manage 36 of the 55 airports in the national airport system, including the country’s two largest airports, Ezeiza and Aeroparque. In each year since we acquired the rights under the concession agreement, dated February 9, 1998, by and between the Argentine Government and Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 S.A. (‘‘AA2000’’) (the ‘‘AA2000 Concession Agreement’’), our airports in Argentina handled over 90% of Argentina’s total passenger traffic.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we had total consolidated revenue of U.S.$1.2 billion, consolidated income from continuing operations of U.S.$72.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of U.S.$354.7 million, and our airports handled 637,288 total aircraft movements and served 57.1 million total passengers (of which approximately 35.9% were international, approximately 53.4% were domestic and approximately 10.6% were transit passengers).
For the year ended December 31, 2016, we had total combined consolidated revenue of U.S.$1.4 billion, combined consolidated income from continuing operations of U.S.$38.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of U.S.$427.2 million, and our airports handled 836,354 total aircraft movements and served 71.8 million total passengers (of which approximately 34.2% were international, approximately 52.8% were domestic and approximately 13.0% were transit passengers).
The following map shows, by country where we are present, the number of airports we operate, our total passenger traffic in millions for 2016 and our revenue in millions of U.S.$, as well as the percentage of our total consolidated revenue that such country represents.

Our History
We have been operating since 1998 and have become a leading global airport concession operator.

In 1998, as part of the AA2000 consortium, we were awarded the national and international public bid conducted by the Argentine Government for the concession rights related to the operation of 33 airports in Argentina, including the two largest airports, the Ministro Pistarini International Airport (“Ezeiza Airport”), located at Ezeiza, Buenos Aires, and the Jorge Newbery Aeroparque Airport (“Aeroparque Airport”), located in Buenos Aires.

In 2001, as part of the Aeropuertos del Neuquén S.A. (“NQN”) consortium, we were awarded the concession to operate Aeropuerto de Neuquén (“Neuquén Airport”), our 34 th airport in Argentina.

In 2002, our subsidiary Armenia International Airports CJSC (“AIA”) was awarded the concession to operate the Zvartnots International Airport (“Zvartnots Airport”), located 12 kilometers from downtown Yerevan, Armenia’s capital.

In 2003, in a public auction conducted by the Uruguayan Government, we purchased the shares of Puerta del Sur S.A. (“Puerta del Sur”), owner of the concession that operates the General Cesáreo Berisso International Airport (“Carrasco Airport”) in Carrasco, Uruguay, located 19 kilometers from downtown Montevideo, Uruguay’s capital.

In 2004, as part of the Terminal Aeroportuaria de Guayaquil S.A. (“TAGSA”) consortium, we were awarded the concession to operate the José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (“Guayaquil Airport”), located five kilometers from downtown Guayaquil, Ecuador.

In 2007, we executed an amendment to the Zvartnots Airport concession agreement to include Shirak Airport in Gyumri (“Shirak Airport”), the second largest civil airport in Armenia.

Sources of Revenue
We charge fees to departing passengers and landing and parking fees to aircraft operators for the use of our premises and for certain aeronautical services. These fees for aeronautical services are typically regulated under each airport’s concession agreement. We also earn revenue from commercial services, including warehouse usage, duty free, retail and food and beverage shops, advertising and parking fees, as well as other sources. Fees for commercial services are typically not regulated under our concession agreements. Under the International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee 12 Service Concession Arrangements (“IFRIC 12”), our construction activities (including development of new infrastructure and improvements to existing infrastructure) require that we recognize construction service revenue and costs during the construction period by stage of completion method. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Our Revenue from Continuing Operations—Construction Service Revenue.”
The following table summarizes our sources of revenue on a consolidated basis for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Our Strengths
Largest private sector airport operator by number of airports with an extensive track record of acquiring and developing airports.
Today, we operate 51 airports in seven countries. Since commencing operations in 1998, we have acquired more than 10 different concessions through public tender processes or through negotiated private acquisition transactions.
We acquired many of our airport concessions through a public tender process and, in most cases, we significantly improved the infrastructure through large capital expenditure programs once we acquired the concessions. We believe our extensive track record and operating experience will be a key advantage when competing for future concessions.
When bidding on new concessions, we create multi-functional teams with experience across many disciplines: corporate development, airport design, aeronautical and commercial services, governmental affairs, legal and finance. These in-house capabilities allow us to quickly analyze and prepare concession bids and negotiate agreements that are highly responsive to the particular needs and desires of the entities offering the concessions while also extracting the maximum value from concession terms.
Our flexible and disciplined approach to acquiring new concessions provides a competitive advantage when evaluating new concession opportunities. We begin by forecasting passenger growth through an evaluation of the demographics and traveling and spending habits of the passengers in a given region. We only proceed with a bid submission once all aspects of a concession have been analyzed (regulatory, legal, financial, etc.) and have cleared our internal investment committee and return benchmarks. Once we acquire a concession,

TABLE OF CONTENTS
our deep operational know-how allows us to maximize passenger flow and determine the optimal mix of retail and food and beverage stores in the airport, while also identifying operating inefficiencies in an effort to reduce costs. We also evaluate the capital structure of each concession on an ongoing basis.
Deep know-how in the operation of airports and the development and design of state-of-the-art infrastructure.
We are experienced airport operators, which enables us to undertake detailed analysis of terminal capacity and expansion, and attract new routes to underserved markets. We also maintain a very active dialogue with airlines to promote new routes or increase frequencies. We seek to optimize our aircraft movements to minimize time on the ground, reduce connection times and minimize delays. Additionally, we have the experience and personnel to undertake operations such as handling, cargo and fueling. With our experience in airport design and operations, we formulate a plan around optimizing passenger flow to maximize customer satisfaction and revenue per passenger. We then use our operational benchmarks and financial experience to determine future costs and potential returns. We always integrate the regulatory dynamics and requirements into our analysis.
We also work closely with our retail operators to determine the optimal composition of stores and brands that best suits the passenger profile of a given airport. The layout of our retail concessions and passenger flow is designed to increase revenue opportunities throughout our airports. We also have experience in growing other sources of revenues such as advertising, VIP lounges and vehicle parking. Additionally, we have developed our own set of key performance indicators (‘‘KPIs’’), that we use to monitor our operations for cost reductions and opportunities to increase commercial revenues. The airports we operate service many of the largest airlines in the world including Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Lufthansa, Iberia, Air France, LATAM Airlines and GOL Transportes Aéreos, as well as low cost carriers such as Ryanair, among others.
We continuously invest in developing and improving our airports’ infrastructure. We have developed and constructed state-of-the-art airports such as the Carrasco Airport, the Guayaquil Airport, the Natal Airport and the Zvartnots Airport, and added state-of-the art infrastructure to already existing airports such as Ezeiza Airport, where we added a new 66,000 square meter terminal, and Brasilia Airport, where we added 53,000 square meters in terminal space.
Our CEO, Martín Eurnekian, has overseen our growth since 1998 when we managed 33 airports in Argentina to today’s portfolio of 51 airports across seven countries. We have country-level CEOs serving in each country in which we operate and have devised systems to ensure best practices are shared across our operations. We believe our management’s extensive operating experience will allow us to continue to grow the business both organically and through acquisitions.
Diversified airport portfolio positioned in key geographic markets with compelling fundamentals and growing passenger traffic.
We have experience operating a diverse airport portfolio across a wide range of geographies. We operate international, regional, mid-size, domestic and tourist airports in major cities across seven countries in Latin America, Europe and Eurasia. In Argentina, we oversee the operation of 36 airports. In Italy, we operate the Florence and Pisa Airports in Tuscany, one of the top tourist regions in the country. In Brazil, we operate the capital city airport, Brasilia Airport, which is one of the main domestic airports for three of the four largest Brazilian airlines. In Uruguay, we operate the Carrasco Airport nearby the country’s capital, Montevideo. In Ecuador, we operate the second largest airport in the country in the most populous city in Ecuador, Guayaquil. In Armenia, we operate the Zvartnots Airport, located in the country’s capital, Yerevan, which serves as the only access gateway point in the country for international air travel. We operate five regional airports in southern Peru.
The airports we operate are situated in countries with compelling macroeconomic trends and in key cities within those countries. GDP is an important driver of air passenger traffic. In the countries in which we operate, the average projected real GDP growth rate from 2017E–2021E is 2.2% according to each country’s official public data and other public data sources. According to the Airbus Global Market Forecast 2016– 2035, Sabre Corporation and IHS, the average trips per capita for passengers in the seven countries in which we operate in 2016 was 0.51. As compared to 1.82 trips per capita in the United States in 2016, this

TABLE OF CONTENTS
represents an opportunity to further penetrate the markets in which we operate by increasing per capita travel frequency. Additionally, a country’s rising middle class creates the opportunity for increased passenger traffic. Throughout our portfolio, we have exposure to countries with growing middle classes and increasing income per capita. According to The Brookings Institution, the middle class as a percentage of total population from 2005 to 2025 is expected to increase in all of the Latin American countries in which we operate as well as in Armenia.
Leading airport operator and concessionaire in Argentina, Uruguay and Armenia, which are markets with significant de facto barriers to entry.
We are the primary airport concessionaire in Argentina and have served over 90.0% of Argentina’s passenger air traffic in each year since we acquired the AA2000 Concession Agreement. The airports we operate serve major metropolitan areas in 22 of the 23 Argentine provinces. We operate the two largest airports in Argentina, Ezeiza Airport and Aeroparque Airport. Ezeiza Airport, a large international airport in Buenos Aires, handled 7.4 million passengers in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 (9.8 million passengers in the year ended December 31, 2016). Aeroparque Airport, a large domestic airport, handled 10.2 million passengers in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 (11.7 million passengers in the year ended December 31, 2016). We also operate key domestic airports such as Cordoba, Bariloche and Mendoza. We have invested over U.S.$1.5 billion in construction, expansion and remodeling of terminals, platform construction, and construction and repaving of runways and taxiways at our airports in Argentina.
Our operations in Uruguay consist of the two main airports receiving commercial flights: Carrasco Airport and Punta del Este Airport. Carrasco Airport is Uruguay’s largest airport in terms of passenger traffic and serves as the country’s primary gateway for international travel. We completed the development of a new 45,000 square meter terminal at Carrasco Airport in 2009 with 44 check-in positions, 8 gates for simultaneous boarding and capacity for 4.5 million passengers per year. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, our operations in Uruguay served a total of 1.7 million passengers (2.0 million passengers in the year ended December 31, 2016).
In Armenia, we own the concession to operate the only two operating airports for scheduled commercial flights in the country: Zvartnots Airport and Shirak Airport. Zvartnots Airport is the primary point in the country for international aeronautical travel. Since we were awarded the concession in 2002, we have modernized Zvartnots Airport including a renovation of the runway and the development of a new 50,000 square meter terminal. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, our operations in Armenia served a total of 1.9 million passengers (2.1 million passengers in the year ended December 31, 2016).
In Argentina, Uruguay and Armenia, we handle the majority of all scheduled commercial flights. Additionally, we believe there are significant barriers to entry for competitors in these markets based upon the size of capital expenditures we have made to date and, in some cases, exclusivity rights granted to us in the relevant concession agreements.
Scalable, diverse and adaptable platform with predictable cash flows and potential to support organic growth.
Our scalable platform has the resources, personnel and experience to grow our current concessions.
Many of the airports we currently operate have ample capacity available to accommodate incremental traffic with limited required capital expenditures. In certain airports, we are in the process of transformative growth opportunities such as the new runway and terminal at Florence Airport, a new departure and arrival lounge at Ezeiza Airport and an expanded commercial area at the Brasilia Airport that will be fully integrated with the existing terminal.
Some of our concession agreements provide for a specified rate of return, which is typically achieved via adjustments of aeronautical fees throughout the concession period. These established concession terms provide us with visibility into our required expenditures. In each country where we operate, either the Chief Executive Officer or our local (or regional) government affairs director is responsible for managing the relationship with the government and other relevant agencies, and maintains local contact and dialogue

with the local regulatory authorities. Our concession agreements are long-term agreements, typically at least 25 years. As of September 30, 2017, we have an average remaining life weighted by 2016 annual passenger traffic and ownership stake of 14.5 years under our concession agreements with several concessions offering potential for extensions such as AA2000 in Argentina, ICAB and ICASGA in Brazil, AIA in Armenia, CAISA in Uruguay and AAP in Peru.
Our Strategy
Leverage our scalable platform to support our organic growth as well as our global expansion strategy.
We have created a global platform with operational expertise and resources to support our organic growth plan and our global expansion strategy. To manage our existing assets, we employ teams across architecture, aeronautical activities, commercial activities, corporate and project finance and accounting, legal and government affairs. These professionals possess the operational skills to manage all of our airport concessions as well as design and develop infrastructure for expansions at our airports. When bidding on new concessions, we create multi-functional teams of experts that include corporate development, aeronautical, commercial, finance, legal and design personnel. Our size and scale allows us to maintain all these resources in-house, thereby allowing us to address opportunities quickly and efficiently. We believe that having access to all of these in-house resources and expertise, across both geography and functional areas, provides us with a competitive advantage as we pursue our global expansion strategy. We will continue to seek additional attractive airport concessions both in our current markets and new markets where we can leverage our experience and local market knowledge. We also look for opportunities globally where we see markets that are underserved and where we can leverage our competitive operational strengths. Since 2009, we have analyzed and prequalified concession opportunities in Brazil, Chile, Greece, India, Italy, Jamaica, Mexico, Paraguay, Poland and Portugal, among others. Our substantial in-house resources allow us to quickly develop airport infrastructure expansion plans and business plans best suited to each unique location. We have the flexibility to adopt the most advantageous structure when bidding for a particular concession and have structured our prior concessions as outright owners as well as majority and minority partners. In addition, we may look for opportunities to enter into relationships with strategic partners in some of our existing concessions if we determine that such relationships would add value to our platform and enhance our growth prospects.
Increase our revenues through improving our mix of airline customers and routes to increase passenger traffic.
We undertake continuous and detailed analysis of our aviation markets in order to attract new routes or new airport strategies. We have long-standing relationships with all major airlines and airline alliances operating at our airports and maintain an active dialogue with them. We also analyze developments in aviation technology as new generations of airplanes with greater ranges that allow for new routes are introduced to the market. As we monitor the next generation of airplanes entering the market, we incorporate this analysis into our capital expenditure planning to create efficiencies and ensure we meet airlines’ demands.
Maximize revenue growth in existing concessions through capital expenditure programs.
We continuously look for opportunities to increase our revenue in strategic locations by developing new infrastructure, by increasing and optimizing passenger traffic and by expanding the commercial space at our concessions. We have the ability to increase air traffic demand through the construction, expansion and remodeling of terminals, the construction of platforms, new runways and taxiways, as well as attracting new routes to our existing facilities. For example, in Argentina, we completed an 88,000 square meter terminal and parking expansion at Aeroparque Airport and built a new 66,000 square meter passenger terminal at Ezeiza Airport. At the Brasilia Airport, we added 53,000 square meters in terminal space and 308,000 square meters in runway, platform and taxiway, which added 28 airport positions, 16 boarding gates and 24 check-in desks. At the Guayaquil Airport, we completed a 50,000 square meter terminal in 2006, which was expanded by 10,000 square meters in 2014.
We believe that we have identified transformative growth opportunities at our Brasilia, Ezeiza and Florence Airports. At our Brasilia Airport, we are in the final development planning stages of a significant expansion of the terminal to accommodate additional commercial area, which will include retail stores, entertainment,
13

TABLE OF CONTENTS
a food court, upscale restaurants and services. In addition, at Ezeiza Airport, we are developing a project for the terminal area that includes new passenger buildings, apron expansions, new ground access and parking. The arrivals terminal and the departures terminals will accommodate extensive commercial areas, including duty free shops, retail stores, entertainment, restaurants, coffee shops and several other services. The development will significantly increase our ability to generate commercial revenues at the airport, as well as expand the capacity to accommodate future passenger growth.
In partnership with the Italian Government, we have developed an investment plan for Florence Airport to invest U.S.$351.1 million in capital expenditures for intangible assets during the period from 2017 until 2022. The funds will be used to build a new 48,500 square meter terminal and 2,400 square meter runway to unlock Florence Airport’s potential growth and accommodate greater passenger flow. In addition, the new terminal will offer 7,300 square meters of commercial space. We estimate these improvements will result in an increase in passenger flows and commercial spending per passenger as the new infrastructure will offer significantly larger commercial space and improved retail layout. In addition, we estimate Florence Airport will likely gain passengers from nearby airports such as Pisa and Bologna as well as from other main airports that function as an entryway to Italy (e.g., Rome and Venice).
Optimize commercial revenue in our existing concessions without material amounts of capital expenditures.
We derive revenue from a mix of both aeronautical and commercial services. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2016, 50.2% and 49.3%, respectively, of our total consolidated revenue were derived from aeronautical services and 35.0% and 38.2%, respectively, were derived from commercial services. The key driver of revenue is passenger traffic, as increased passenger traffic allows us to generate both aeronautical and commercial revenue. There are various initiatives we can implement to maximize revenues. At all of our concessions, we continuously look for ways to optimize commercial revenue from duty-free, retail and food and beverage vendors. We focus on increasing our commercial revenues at each airport by expanding our commercial space, optimizing the ideal mix and layout of retail, food and beverage operations, seeking additional advertising contracts, VIP lounges and car parking. Using our in-depth experience, we seek ways to optimize passenger flow throughout the airport. This includes creating increased exposure to commercial vendors and minimizing wait times throughout the airport. We work with all of our airport vendors to implement operational improvements such as technology-enabled ordering while waiting in line and improved product and design layout in order to maximize revenue. In some of our airports, we are also seeking to develop hotels and other real estate projects. Our scale and size allows us to attract high-quality subconcessions such as Hudson News, Starbucks Coffee, Hard Rock Café and McDonald’s.
Improve operating efficiency and reduce costs by leveraging our experience and sharing innovations and improvements across our airports.
We work closely with the airlines using our airports to maximize operational efficiency, minimize time on the ground and avoid flight delays. Also, as a result of our extensive experience operating airports of different types in diverse locations, we have developed a set of best practices and KPIs which can be shared across our current portfolio of airport concessions. In addition, we implement techniques such as zero-based budgeting practices and KPIs in order to continuously monitor costs to identify reduction opportunities. We ensure that these best practices are spread across our airports by regularly rotating our key management personnel into positions managing airports in different locations and by having them attend global management conferences. Our KPIs and expertise have allowed us to reduce operating costs while maintaining the same, high level of service to our passengers.

Adjusted EBITDA is used as a measure of performance by our management. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as income from continuing operations before financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. There is no standard definition of Adjusted EBITDA, and our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, consolidated net income from continuing operations as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of our operating performance. For more information about the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA, see “Presentation of Financial and Other Information—Non-IFRS Information—Adjusted EBITDA.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Risk Factors
Investing in our common shares involves substantial risks. In addition to the other information in this prospectus, you should carefully consider the following risk factors before investing in our common shares. If any of the risks we describe below occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. The market price of our common shares could decline if one or more of these risks or uncertainties actually occur, causing you to lose all or part of your investment in our common shares. Certain statements in “Risk Factors” are forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Our concessions may be terminated under various circumstances, some of which are beyond our control.
Our business consists of acquiring, developing and operating airport concessions. These concessions are granted by governmental authorities for a limited period of time and subject to several conditions and obligations.
Our concessions may be terminated under various circumstances, some of which are beyond our control. In general, our concession agreements may be terminated at any time by the relevant governments or agencies for public interest reasons. For example, in 2017 the Peruvian Government unilaterally terminated the concession it had awarded to us for the construction and operation of the new Chinchero Cusco International Airport. Concession agreements may also be terminated due to our material and repeated breach of the concession terms. The termination of one or more of our concessions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
If an applicable governmental authority terminates any of our concessions, with or without cause, we may be entitled to seek claims for compensation from such terminating governmental authority. Although termination payments vary by concession, they usually include a claim for indemnification equal to the value of the non-amortized investments made by us for purposes of operating the airports and rendering the services agreed under the concession agreements. If the applicable governmental authority terminates one of our concessions due to our material and repeated breach or failure to make the committed investments, we may assert claims for indemnification equal to those non-amortized investments we made for purposes of operating the relevant airports and rendering of the services agreed under the relevant concession agreements. If the concession is terminated by the relevant government or agency for public interest reasons or without cause, we may assert claims for indemnification equal to the non-amortized investments plus loss of profits. Collecting on such claims may be difficult and time-consuming, and any amounts collected in respect of such claims may not provide us with the expected level of returns, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, as of February 2018, the Argentine Government will have the right to buy out the AA2000 Concession Agreement upon prior notification to us and indemnify us for certain investments we incurred for purposes of operating the airports and rendering the services agreed thereunder. See “—Risks Related to Argentina and the AA2000 Concession Agreement—Pursuant to the AA2000 Concession Agreement, as of February 2018 and thereafter, the Argentine Government may buy out our concession, which would significantly affect our revenues and operations.”
We may be subject to monetary penalties or early termination if we fail to comply with the terms of our concession agreements.
We may be subject to monetary penalties if we violate or otherwise fail to comply with the terms of our concessions. Some violations of a concession agreement may provide for cure periods or other remedial action, while other violations, whenever they are substantial and repeated, can result in the immediate termination of the relevant concession. If we experience difficulties, we may encounter problems in satisfying our obligations under our concession agreements and the relevant governmental authorities may impose sanctions on us. For a description of the consequences that may result from the violation of various terms of our concessions, or local laws and regulations related to such concessions, see “Regulatory and Concessions Framework.” Monetary penalties could negatively affect our results of operations.

In addition, under all of our concession agreements, we are required to establish and comply with an investment plan for the airports covered under such concession agreements. If we do not fulfill our investment commitments on a timely basis or obtain financing necessary to complete such projects, such failures could lead to a breach of the relevant concession agreement.
Our revenue and profitability may be affected if we fail to win new concession agreements, acquire companies with existing concession agreements, or otherwise improve or expand our current operations.
Our growth strategy relies upon identifying and winning new concession agreements, acquiring companies with existing concession agreements or improving and expanding our current operations. Our future growth may also depend on new (greenfield) development projects, which may require significant time and upfront financial commitments for construction and development. While we anticipate having opportunities to bid for concession agreements or purchase existing concessionaires in the future, we cannot predict the frequency of such opportunities. We must also strategically identify which concession agreements and existing concessionaires to target based on numerous factors such as number of passengers, size of the relevant airport(s), type, location and quality of the available airports and subconcession space, rental structure, financial return, regulatory requirements and the competitive landscape within such market. We may not be able to successfully expand, as we may not correctly analyze the suitability of airport locations, anticipate all of the challenges imposed by expanding our operations or succeed in executing our growth plan efficiently. We also may fail to expand within budget or on a timely basis, or expand at all. In addition, to win a particular concession contract, we may be required to make investments or incur other expenses that would render such concession less economically attractive.
Our growth strategy and the substantial investment associated with the acquisition of each new concession agreement, existing concessions or expansion of existing concessions may cause our operating results to fluctuate and be unpredictable.
The loss or impairment of our relationship with governments and their agencies in the markets in which we operate could adversely affect our business, future revenues and growth prospects.
Our principal assets are concession rights granted by governments in the countries in which we operate. Our business depends to a large extent on our ability to manage relationships with such governments and their agencies. During the term of our concessions, we are in continuous communications with the relevant governments and their agencies regarding, among other things, the terms and conditions of the concession, compliance with the concession agreement, the applicable master plan and works to be performed at the airports, including works not specifically required by the terms of the relevant concession, and the establishment of tariffs. Our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed if we were suspended or debarred from contracting with any such government or government agency or if our reputation or relationship with any such government or agency is impaired.
Our revenue is highly dependent on levels of air traffic, which depend in part on factors beyond our control, including economic and political conditions in the countries where we operate our airports.
Our revenue is closely linked to passenger and cargo traffic volumes and the number of air traffic movements at our airports. These factors directly determine our aeronautical revenue and indirectly determine our commercial revenue. Passenger and cargo traffic volumes and air traffic movements depend, in part, on many factors beyond our control. Such factors include economic conditions and the political situation in the countries where we operate our airports, epidemics, pandemics and other public health crises, terrorism, fluctuations in petroleum prices (which can have a negative impact on traffic as a result of fuel surcharges or other measures adopted by airlines in response to increased fuel costs), currency exchange rate fluctuations and changes in regulatory policies applicable to the aviation industry. The occurrence of any of these risks may result in a reduction of passenger air traffic levels and air traffic movements globally and in the regions in which we operate. A significant decline in passenger and cargo traffic volumes and the number of air traffic movements at our airports would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
We face risks related to our dependence on the revenue from Ezeiza Airport.
During the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2016, Ezeiza Airport generated U.S.$396.6 million in revenue, or 33.9%, and U.S.$522.1 million in revenue, or 37.5%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue for such period. As a result of the substantial contribution to our revenue from the Ezeiza Airport, any event or condition affecting this airport (in addition to any potential termination or buyout of the AA2000 Concession Agreement) could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, an economic recession in Argentina, a reduction in the operations of Ezeiza Airport, competition from other airports or a decrease in the number of passengers traveling to Buenos Aires as tourists could cause a decrease in our revenue at this airport which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Increases in international fuel prices could reduce demand for air travel.
International prices of fuel have experienced significant volatility in recent years. The price of fuel may be subject to further fluctuations resulting from a reduction or increase in output of petroleum, voluntary or otherwise, by oil producing countries, other market forces, a general increase in international hostilities, or any future terrorist attacks. Although international fuel prices have decreased recently, in the past, increased costs were among the factors leading to cancellations of routes, decreases in frequencies of flights and, in some cases, even contributed to filings for bankruptcy by some airlines. Although fuel is a widely-traded global commodity, in the event of a significant increase in fuel prices in one or more of the countries in which we operate, or in one or more countries that provide significant numbers of international air passengers to the countries in which we operate, the effects of a localized price increase may be more significant than a general, worldwide increase in fuel prices. Significant fluctuations may result in higher airline ticket prices and in a decrease in demand for air travel generally, both of which could have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations.
Extended interruptions or disruptions at the airports where we operate due to natural disasters, prolonged weather conditions and other adverse incidents could affect our business and results of operations.
A significant extended interruption or disruption in service at the airports where we operate could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our results of operations could be impacted by flight cancellations and airport closures caused by weather and natural disasters. Severe weather conditions, particularly heavy snowfall, increases in the frequency, severity and duration of natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic activity, earthquakes and tsunamis, including from changes in the global climate, can significantly disrupt service, cause cancellation of flights and negatively affect passenger traffic at airports, which may result in decreased revenues and increased costs.
The disaster recovery and business continuity plans we have in place may prove inadequate in the event of a serious disaster or similar event. We may incur substantial expenses as a result of the limited nature of our disaster recovery and business continuity plans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Outbreaks of disease and health epidemics could have a negative impact on international air travel.
Public health crises such as the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (known as SARS) between 2002 and 2003, the outbreak of the A/H1N1 virus of 2009 and the Ebola pandemic in 2014–2015 have disrupted the frequency and pattern of air travel worldwide in recent years. Most recently, travel to the Caribbean and Latin American countries has been affected as a result of the Zika virus. Because our revenue is largely dependent on the level of passenger traffic in our airports, any outbreaks of health epidemics, such as the H1N1 virus and the Zika virus, could result in decreased passenger traffic and increased costs to the air travel industry and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business revenues and results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
We could be subject to acts of terrorism or war, which could have a negative impact on air travel and result in increased security requirements.
Our airports operate within a stringent and complex security regime, as required by the relevant governmental authorities, which may impose additional security measures from time to time, including as a result of a terrorist attack. The consequences of any future terrorist action or threat may include the cancellation or delay of flights, fewer airlines and passengers using our airports, liability for damage or loss and the costs of repairing damage. If a terrorist attack affected one of the airports we operate, the airport in question would be closed, in whole or in part, for the time needed to care for victims, investigate the circumstances of the attack, rebuild any damaged areas or otherwise, with a subsequent decrease in the revenue and increase in costs for the reconstruction of the affected areas (to the extent these are not covered by insurance policies).
Moreover, if an act of terrorism or threat thereof were to occur in a country in which we operate, even if not at our airports, the perception of safety by airport users could decrease, and, consequently, there could be a reduction in passenger air traffic for an indefinite period of time, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Furthermore, the implementation of additional security measures at our airports in the future could lead to additional limitations on airport capacity or retail space, overcrowding, increases in operating costs and delays to passenger movement through the airport, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business may also be affected by the outbreak of wars or armed conflicts in any region of the world. Among other things, wars can lead to increased prices of fuel, supplies and interest rates for aircraft leases, which could, in turn, lead to increased prices of airline tickets and a decline in demand for air transportation in general. Likewise, the occurrence of armed conflicts could result in increased security measures, thereby increasing security costs.
Any event that affects the safety standard perception of any of our aeronautical customers could result in a loss of significant passenger traffic volume.
Any accident, incident or other event that affects the safety standard perception of any of our aeronautical customers may affect its image and generate a public perception that it is less safe or reliable than other airlines. These events could harm consumer demand and the number of passengers serviced by such airline, which could in turn adversely affect the number of passengers using our airports, thereby having an adverse effect on our revenues.
Competition from other destinations could adversely affect our business.
The principal factor affecting our business is the number of passengers that use our airports. Our passenger traffic volume may be adversely affected by the attractiveness, affordability and accessibility of competing destinations. In addition, our passenger traffic volume may be adversely affected by the level of business activity in each destination or the likelihood of airlines using any of those destinations as a hub or base for their operations. If business activity and tourism levels, and therefore, the number of passengers using our airports, is negatively impacted by competing airports and hubs in the geographic regions in which we operate, such development could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We are subject to the risk of union disputes and work stoppages at our locations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Some of our employees are members of labor unions. For example, as of September 30, 2017 approximately 55.5% and 50.1%, (54.0% and 49.7%, respectively, as of December 31, 2016), of our employees in Argentina and Italy, respectively, are members of labor unions. Negotiating labor contracts, either for new locations or to replace expiring contracts, is time consuming or may not be accomplished on a timely basis. In addition, we negotiate some of our collective bargaining agreements on an annual basis. If we are unable to satisfactorily negotiate those labor contracts with the labor unions on terms acceptable to us or without a
27

TABLE OF CONTENTS
strike or work stoppage, the effects on our business could be materially adverse. Any strike or work stoppage could disrupt our business, adversely affecting our results of operations and our public image could be materially adversely affected by such labor disputes. In addition, existing labor contracts may not prevent a strike or work stoppage, and any such work stoppage could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The operations of our airports may be affected by actions or inactions of third parties that are beyond our control.
In most of our airports, our operations are largely dependent on the services provided by governments and other third parties who render services to passengers and airlines, such as meteorology, air traffic control, security, electricity, and immigration and customs services. In addition, in some of our airports we are dependent on third-party providers of certain complementary services such as baggage handling, fuel services, catering and aircraft maintenance and repair. While we are responsible for adopting security measures at some of our airports, we do not control the management or operation of security, which is controlled by government agencies or third parties. We are not responsible for, and cannot control, any of these services. Any disruption in, or adverse consequence resulting from, such services, including work strikes or other similar events, could cause the cancellation of flights and negatively affect passenger traffic at our airports, which may ultimately result in decreased revenues and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The loss of one or more of our aeronautical customers or the interruption of their operations could result in a loss of a significant amount of our passenger traffic.
None of our agreements with our aeronautical customers obligates them to provide service at to our airports. If any of our aeronautical customers were to reduce their use of our airports or cease to operate at them for any reason, including merger, bankruptcy or due to regulatory restrictions, the remaining airlines may not increase their flight frequency to replace the flights that our aeronautical customers were no longer operating. Our business and revenue could be adversely affected if we are unable to replace the business of our main aeronautical customers.
Our main aeronautical customers are LATAM Airlines Group and Grupo Aerolíneas Argentinas. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, LATAM Airlines Group and Grupo Aerolíneas Argentinas accounted for 23.3% and 16.4% of our consolidated aeronautical revenue, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2016, LATAM Airlines Group and Grupo Aerolíneas Argentinas accounted for 22.8% and 15.2% of our consolidated aeronautical revenue, respectively.
An aircraft accident or other material factors beyond our control may affect the operation of our runways.
Our runways may require unscheduled repair due to natural disasters, aircraft accidents and other factors beyond our control. The closure of any runway for a significant period of time could have a material adverse effect on the number of passengers that use our airports, and therefore, a material effect on our operations and financial results.
Ongoing and proposed construction, renovation or repair work at our airports could have a negative impact on our revenues.
At any time, we may be in the process of constructing, renovating and/or repairing a number of our airports. These works may sometimes affect the passenger experience, which may ultimately adversely affect our commercial revenue. The operations of our other airports may decrease or be adversely affected by future construction, renovations or repairs, and this could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We are exposed to certain risks in connection with the use of certain spaces by subconcessionaires at our airports.
We are exposed to risks related to the spaces subconcessioned to third parties, such as non-payment by subconcessionaires of certain fees and other lease arrangements or a weakening demand for the use of the spaces allocated to subconcessionaires. For example, many of our subconcessionaires’ locations are situated
28

TABLE OF CONTENTS
beyond the security checkpoints at airports, and they rely heavily on their customers spending a significant amount of time in the terminal and waiting areas of the airport terminals in which they have subconcessioned space. Changes in customers’ travel habits prior to departure, including an increase in the availability or popularity of airline business and first-class lounges, or an increase in the efficiency of ticketing, transportation safety procedures and air traffic control systems could reduce the amount of time that customers spend at such subconcessioned locations, which could materially reduce the revenue they are able to generate and which, in turn, could reduce the amount of fees and rent we can collect from our subconcessionaires. Any material reduction in the fees and lease payments that we are able to charge to our subconcessionaires could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our insurance policies may not provide sufficient coverage against all liabilities.
We are required to maintain insurance under all of our concession agreements and we seek to insure all risks for which insurance coverage is available on commercially reasonable terms. We can offer no assurance that our insurance policies will cover all of our liabilities in the event of an accident, natural disaster, terrorist attack or other incident. The insurance market for airport liability coverage generally, and for airport construction in particular, is limited, and a change in the coverage policy by the insurance companies involved could reduce our ability to obtain and maintain adequate or cost-effective coverage. For some of our airports, we do not currently carry business interruption insurance or property insurance against terrorism and related risks. Consequently, any substantial interruption of our business or terrorist attacks could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our financial condition. See “Business—Property and Insurance.”
We are exposed to liability to third parties for injuries or damages.
We are obligated to protect the public and to reduce the risk of accidents at our airports. As with any company dealing with the security of individuals, we must implement measures for the protection of the public, such as hiring private security services, maintaining our airports’ infrastructure and fire safety in public spaces, and providing emergency medical services. These obligations could expose us to liability to third parties for personal injury or property damage and, to the extent not adequately covered by insurance, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Most of our operations are in emerging markets.
Our existing concessions are mostly in countries with emerging economies, and investing in developing economies generally involves risks. These risks include political, social and economic events, any of which could impact our operations or the market value of our common shares and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. These risks and instability are caused by many different factors, including the following:

adverse external economic factors;

inconsistent fiscal and monetary policies (including currency devaluation);

dependence on external financing;

changes in governmental economic and tax policies and regulations;

high levels of inflation;

fluctuations in currency values;

high interest rates;

wage increases and price controls;

limitation on imports;

exchange rates and capital controls;

political and social tensions;

fluctuations in central bank reserves; and

trade barriers.
29

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Emerging markets have historically experienced uneven periods of economic growth, as well as recession, periods of high inflation and economic instability. Adverse economic conditions in any of these countries could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Some of the countries in which we operate have experienced, or are currently experiencing, high rates of inflation. In an effort to control inflation, governments of these countries often maintain a tight monetary policy with high interest rates, thereby restricting the availability of credit and retarding economic growth. Inflation, measures to combat inflation and public speculation about possible additional actions have also contributed significantly to economic uncertainty in many of these countries and to heightened volatility in their securities markets. Periods of higher inflation may also slow the growth rate of local economies. Inflation is also likely to increase some of our costs and expenses, which we may not be able to fully transfer to our clients, which could adversely affect our operating margins and operating income in some of the emerging markets in which we operate.
Depreciation or fluctuation of the currencies of the countries where we operate could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Many of the countries where we operate have experienced volatility in the exchange rate of their currency against the U.S. dollar. Because we present our financial statements in U.S. dollars, this volatility may reduce the revenues we report or increase the expenses we report in any given period. These effects may in turn have an adverse effect on the market of our common shares. In addition, because we have a substantial amount of dollar-denominated indebtedness, exchange rate volatility may result in increased debt service costs. Finally, in some instances we receive revenues in a currency different from that in which we pay expenses, in which case currency volatility can affect the profitability of our operations.
We are subject to various environmental laws, regulations and authorizations that affect our operations and may expose us to significant costs, liabilities, obligations or restrictions.
We, our subconcessionaires and our aeronautical customers are subject to various environmental laws, regulations and authorizations governing, among other things, the generation, use, transportation, management and disposal of hazardous materials, the emission and discharge of hazardous materials into the ground, air or water, and human health and safety. Failure to comply with these environmental requirements, including the terms of our concession agreements, could result in our being subject to litigation, fines or other sanctions. We could also incur significant capital or other compliance costs relating to such requirements. We could also be held responsible for contamination, human exposure to hazardous materials or other environmental damage at our airports or otherwise related to our operations. Environmental claims have been asserted against us, and additional claims may be asserted against us in the future. See “Business—Legal Proceedings—Argentine Proceedings—Environmental Proceedings.” We are unable to determine our potential liability under these pending or possible future claims. We only have environmental insurance coverage for environmental damages at a limited number of our airports.
These environmental requirements, and the enforcement and interpretation thereof, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. Future environmental laws, regulations and authorizations may require us to incur additional costs in order to bring our airports into, and maintain, compliance. Our costs, liabilities, obligations and restrictions relating to environmental matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are subject to review by taxing authorities, and an incorrect interpretation by us of tax laws and regulations may have a material adverse effect on us.
The preparation of our tax returns requires the use of estimates and interpretations of complex tax laws and regulations and is subject to review by taxing authorities. We are subject to the income tax laws of the countries in which we operate. These tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and relevant governmental taxing authorities, leading to disputes which are sometimes subject to prolonged evaluation periods until a final resolution is reached. In establishing a provision for income tax expense and filing returns, we must make judgments and interpretations about the application of these inherently complex tax laws. In some jurisdictions where we operate, the interpretations of tax laws by the
30

TABLE OF CONTENTS
taxing authorities are sometimes unpredictable and frequently involve litigation, introducing further uncertainty and risk as to our tax liability. If the judgment, estimates and assumptions we use in preparing our tax returns are subsequently determined to be incorrect, there could be a material adverse effect on us, which may ultimately affect our revenues. See “Business—Legal Proceedings—Tax Proceedings Related to Technical Assistance Agreements.”
We are dependent on information and communication technologies, and our systems and infrastructures face certain risks, including cybersecurity risks.
The operation of complex infrastructures, such as airports, and the coordination of the many actors involved in its operation require the use of several highly specialized information systems, including both our own information technology systems and those of third-party service providers, such as systems that monitor our operations or the status of our facilities, communication systems to inform the public, access control systems and closed circuit television security systems, infrastructure monitoring systems, air navigation systems, passenger ticketing and boarding, automated baggage handling, points of sale, terminals and radio and voice communication systems used by our personnel. In addition, our accounting and fixed assets, payroll, budgeting, human resources, supplier and commercial, hiring, payments and billing systems and our websites are key to the functioning of our airports. The proper functioning of these systems is critical to our operations and business management. These systems may, from time to time, require modifications or improvements as a result of changes in technology, the growth of our business and the functioning of each of these systems.
While we have contingency plans, backup systems, information and communication redundant systems, testing and certification procedures and information technology auditing systems, among others, these information systems cannot be completely protected against certain events such as natural disasters, fraud, computer viruses, hacking, communication failures, equipment breakdown, software errors and other technical problems.
The risk of cyber-crime has been increasing, especially as infiltrating technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated. If we are unable to prevent a significant cyber-attack, such attack could materially affect the number of passengers at our airports, cause the loss of passenger information, damage our reputation and lead to regulatory penalties and financial losses.
We have implemented continuity measures and technology disaster recovery plans to mitigate the damage from such incidents and in the future may incur in significant costs to protect against security threats or to alleviate problems caused by failures of or breaches to our systems. However, we cannot assure you that these measures will be adequate to prevent disruptions in all cases, the occurrence of which could significantly disrupt our operations, resulting in increased costs, a decline in revenue and significant harm to our business (including our public image) in general.
Our acquisition strategy could involve additional risks to us, many of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We continue to examine opportunities to acquire or invest in existing or new concessions that complement or expand our business. These opportunities may involve government-owned entities as well as private sector companies. Any future acquisitions may result in a dilutive issuance of equity securities, incurrence of additional debt, reduction of existing cash balances, amortization of expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets or other charges to operations. Additional leverage could require us to dedicate cash flow to fund debt service requirements, thus decreasing the funds available to us to finance working capital and business operations generally. All of the foregoing factors could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
Future acquisitions could involve numerous risks, including that we may recognize lower relative operating margins associated with such acquisitions, and we may recognize impairment charges with respect to future acquired assets due to the performance of such assets. Our results of operations may also be affected by the timing of acquisitions, the timing and amount of integration costs related to such acquisitions and the degree to and the rate at which the economic benefits of integration are realized.
31

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Future growth may also place additional demands on our personnel and other resources, including an increased level of responsibility for management. Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to improve our operational, management and financial systems and controls and to successfully train, motivate and manage our employees. If our management is unable to manage growth effectively, our business could be adversely affected.
Our inability to raise additional financing may limit our operations.
We may have limited ability to incur additional financing for some of our concession agreements, which may entail important consequences for investors, among them (i) limiting our capacity to satisfy our future investment obligations with respect to the airports we operate pursuant to the terms and conditions of our concession agreements, or other capital expenditures required for the operation of such airports; and (ii) limiting our flexibility to take advantage of opportunities for new business within the markets we operate or potential new markets. Any of these situations may ultimately affect our operations and financial results.
Many of our most significant subsidiaries have substantial minority interests outstanding.
We own indirectly 81.3%, 51.1% and 51.0% of our principal Argentina, Italy and Brazil operating subsidiaries, respectively, which are namely AA2000, TA and ICAB. Because we control these entities, we record all their revenues and expenses and then subtract the minority interest from their earnings. The other shareholders–including, in the case of Italy, public shareholders–of these entities may have interests different from ours, and any substantial conflict with minority shareholders may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We may have conflicts of interest with the Selling Shareholder and we may not be able to resolve such conflicts on terms favorable to us.
We are currently controlled by the Selling Shareholder, which owns 100% of our equity interests prior to this offering. Following completion of the offering, the Selling Shareholder will continue to be our parent company. Conflicts of interest may arise between our Selling Shareholder and us in a number of areas relating to our past and ongoing relationships. Potential conflicts of interest that we have identified include, among others, allocation of business and investment opportunities and/or the acquisition of airport assets outside of our existing corporate structure. Generally, the Selling Shareholder may from time to time make strategic decisions that it believes are in the best interest of the business as a whole, including its ownership interest in our business. These decisions may be different from the decisions that we would have made on our own and may not be aligned with your interests. We may not be able to resolve any potential conflicts and, even if we do, the resolution may be less favorable to us than if we were dealing with an unaffiliated party.
We have been advised by SCF, our ultimate controlling shareholder, that it does not intend to participate in any significant future acquisitions of airport concession assets or airport-related companies, except through us. See “Principal and Selling Shareholder.”
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration or another regulatory agency could downgrade the aviation safety rating of any of the countries in which we operate, which could have a negative impact on passenger traffic.
Under the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration regulations, the aviation safety rating of any of the countries in which we operate could be downgraded. Airlines from such countries could be prevented from expanding or changing their current operations to and from the United States, except under certain limited circumstances, code-sharing arrangements between such airlines and U.S. airlines could be suspended, and operations by such airlines flying to the United States could be subjected to greater administrative oversight. Any such additional regulatory requirements could result in reduced passenger traffic originating in or departing to the United States by non-U.S. airlines operating at our airports or, in some cases, in an increase in that cost of service, which could result in decrease in demand for travel. The Federal Aviation Administration may downgrade the air safety rating of any of the countries in which we operate in the future. The European Aviation Safety Agency and other regulatory agencies may take similar actions, either independently or in response to any such action by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. Such actions might reduce our revenues and have a negative impact on passenger traffic.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
We are subject to anti-corruption laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
We are subject to and bound by U.S. and foreign anti-corruption laws and regulations, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Italian Corruption Law of 2012 (Law No. 190) and the Brazil Clean Company Act of 2014 (Law No. 12,846). These anti-corruption laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business and/or other benefits. Many jurisdictions have recently implemented new anti-corruption laws (such as in the case of Brazil), broadened the scope of existing anti-corruption laws (such as in the case of Italy) or are currently debating the introduction of new laws in this area (such as in the case of Argentina). The Brazilian Clean Company Act holds companies strictly liable for the corrupt acts of their employees and intermediaries, which means that a company may be held liable for such acts, without a finding of fault on the part of the company. See “—Risks Related to Our Other Principal Operations and Other Principal Markets in Which We Operate—Brazil—The ongoing economic uncertainty and political instability in Brazil may adversely affect our economic and financial condition” and “— Risks Related to Our Other Principal Operations and Other Principal Markets in Which We Operate— Brazil— We have identified payments made by ICAB that may not have had any proper purpose and that could expose us to fines and sanctions as well as reputational harm and other adverse effects.” Our business requires that we maintain continuous contact with governments and agencies from the initial bid process for any concession and throughout the entire term of any concession we are awarded. Despite our ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with anti-corruption laws, there can be no assurance that our employees, agents, and the companies to which we outsource certain of our business operations, will not take actions in violation of our policies, for which we may be ultimately held responsible. If we are not in compliance with anti-corruption laws and other laws governing the conduct of business with government entities (including local laws), we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties and other remedial measures, which could harm our reputation and have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Any investigation of any actual or alleged violations of such laws could also harm our reputation or have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Argentina and the AA2000 Concession Agreement
The AA2000 Concession Agreement expires in 2028, unless it is extended by the Argentine Government.
The AA2000 Concession Agreement expires in February 2028. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions by AA2000 and the authorization of the Argentine Government, we may extend the term of the AA2000 Concession Agreement for an additional period of up to 10 years. We have made a formal request to the Organismo Regulador del Sistema Nacional de Aeropuertos (the “ORSNA”) to extend the term of the concession for the additional 10-year period. However, under Section 5.2 of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, if the concession is extended, the Argentine Government has reserved the right to maintain, modify or eliminate the exclusivity granted under the concession. In case the Argentine Government does not extend the AA2000 Concession, our revenue will be significantly affected.
Pursuant to the AA2000 Concession Agreement, as of February 2018 and thereafter, the Argentine Government may buy out our concession, which would materially affect our revenues and operations.
Pursuant to the AA2000 Concession Agreement, on or after February 13, 2018, the Argentine Government has the right to “buy-out” (“ rescatar ”) the AA2000 Concession Agreement upon prior notification to us. In the event the Argentine Government were to exercise this option, it would be required to indemnify us in an amount equal to the value of the non-amortized aeronautical investments we have made as of the time of the buy-out, multiplied by 1.10, plus the value of all other investments we made that have not been amortized. The Argentine Government would not be required to indemnify us for investments that were not included in our investment plan or that were not approved by the ORSNA. The Argentine Government would also not be required to indemnify us for lost revenue. The Argentine Government would be required to assume in full any debts incurred by us to acquire goods or services for the purposes of providing airport services, except for debts incurred in connection with the investment plan for which we would be compensated as part of the payment made to us by the Argentine Government. Subsequent to such buy-out, we may have other claims against the Argentine Government or the ORSNA, but we may not prevail on these claims. See “Regulatory and Concessions Framework—Argentina—The AA2000 Concession Agreement.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Furthermore, the buy-out of the AA2000 Concession Agreement would constitute an event of default under our 6.875% senior secured notes due 2027 (the “Argentine Notes”), which will result in automatic acceleration of the Argentine Notes. As of the date of this prospectus, the total amount outstanding under the Argentine Notes is U.S.$400.0 million. The Argentine Government’s indemnification obligations in combination with the collateral structure under the Argentine Notes may not be adequate to repay the holders of such notes. See “Description of Indebtedness—Argentina.”
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2016, the revenue derived from our operation of the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement represented 62.0% and 61.3%, respectively, of our total consolidated revenue. If the Argentine Government exercises its right to buy-out the AA2000 Concession Agreement, such buy-out would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The ORSNA may adjust the fees we charge for aeronautical services, the payments we are required to make to the Argentine Government and our investment plan in a way that is detrimental to us, or fail to adjust them to restore the AA2000 Concession Agreement’s economic equilibrium.
Under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the ORSNA is required to review annually AA2000’s financial projections and, if necessary, to re-establish economic equilibrium by making adjustments to (i) the fees we charge airlines and passengers for aeronautical services, (ii) certain payments we make to the Argentine Government pursuant to the AA2000 Concession Agreement, and/or (iii) our investment obligations. Since the renegotiation of the AA2000 Concession in 2007, the Argentine Government has reviewed the financial projections six times. Effective January 1, 2017, the ORSNA recently adjusted the fees we may charge by decreasing the fee for international passengers from U.S.$57.00 to U.S.$49.00 and increasing the fee for domestic passengers from AR$29.73 to AR$74.33, in a way we believe is detrimental to us and therefore, we have filed a claim regarding this adjustment of fees. As of the date of this prospectus, such claim has not been resolved. For more information, see “Regulatory and Concessions Framework—Argentina—The AA2000 Concession Agreement—Financial Projections.”
In addition, the Argentine Government recently announced its plan to hire a consulting firm to review the terms and conditions of the AA2000 Concession Agreement. According to the ORSNA, the Argentine Government is seeking to obtain detailed information about the quality of service provided by our airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement as compared to the service levels at other international airports. It is unclear whether the Argentine Government expects to take any action based on the results of the consultant’s review.
If the ORSNA adjusts the fees we may charge or that we must pay under the AA2000 Concession in a way that is detrimental to us, if the ORSNA fails to adjust such fees in order to restore the AA2000 Concession Agreement’s economic equilibrium, or if the ORSNA seeks to modify our rights under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, such adjustments or failures to adjust, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If the ORSNA does not approve the capital expenditures already made under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we would be required to make additional capital expenditures, which may affect our cash flows and financial condition.
The ORSNA reviews our capital expenditures to monitor our compliance with the investment plan under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, and to record such expenditures in the registry maintained by the ORSNA. If a capital expenditure is approved by the ORSNA, it is then entered into its registry. Accordingly, we may record investments in any given period that have not yet been (and may never be) approved by the ORSNA. If the ORSNA does not approve our capital expenditures under the investment plan of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we will be required to make additional capital expenditures. This may require us to obtain additional financing, which we may not be able to obtain on terms favorable to us, or at all. Our capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and 2014, are currently under review by the ORSNA. In addition, we filed claims with the ORSNA in connection with the investment amounts recognized by the ORSNA for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, which as of the date of this prospectus have not been resolved.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The ORSNA may reject the transactions whereby Cedicor S.A. acquired from Societa per Azioni Esercizi Aeroportuali and from Riva S.A.I.I.C.F.A. 8.5% and 0.85% of AA2000’s shares, respectively.
In June 2011, our subsidiary, Cedicor S.A. (“Cedicor”), which is the controlling shareholder of Corporación América S.A. (“CASA”), agreed to purchase from Societa per Azioni Esercizi Aeroportuali (“SEA”) 21,973,747 class A shares of AA2000, which represented 8.5% of AA2000’s ordinary capital and voting stock, and 2.5% of its capital stock on a fully diluted basis (including the preferred shares). In addition, in July 2011, 2,197,375 Class B Shares of AA2000 which represented 0.85% of AA2000’s ordinary capital and voting stock, and 0.25% of the capital stock on a fully diluted basis (including the preferred shares), were transferred to Cedicor by Riva S.A.I.I.C.F.A. (“Riva”).
Both of these transfers are subject to the prior authorization of the ORSNA. As of the date of this prospectus, the ORSNA has not issued any resolution approving or rejecting such transaction. While this approval is pending, all economic and political rights pertaining to the shares, including all distributed dividends, have been assigned to Cedicor pursuant to the terms of the sale agreements between Cedicor and SEA and between Cedicor and Riva.
If the ORSNA rejects the transfers of shares, Cedicor is entitled to transfer the shares to a third party upon the ORSNA’s approval within 18 months of the date that ORSNA notifies Cedicor of its denial resolution. If the ORSNA subsequently rejects the transfer to the proposed third party, the agreements between Cedicor and each of SEA and Riva will cease to have any effect, except that (i) all payments made by Cedicor to SEA and Riva shall be retained by SEA and Riva; and (ii) all dividends distributed or to be distributed by AA2000 to Cedicor with respect to the transferred shares and all additional shares subscribed by Cedicor in exercise of the pre-emptive rights pertaining to such shares shall be retained by Cedicor. In such case, SEA and Riva will be reinstated as owners of all of the shares originally proposed to be transferred to Cedicor.
While we have no reason to believe that the transaction will be rejected, if the transaction is rejected by the ORSNA, then the ownership of AA2000 will be affected which in turn could ultimately reduce our share of the earnings of AA2000 which may not be completely offset by the consideration received from any transfer of the shares to a third party.
Our operations in Argentina depend on macroeconomic conditions in Argentina.
Our business and financial results in Argentina depend to a significant degree on macroeconomic, political, regulatory and social conditions therein, generally, and in the City of Buenos Aires, especially. The Argentine economy has experienced significant volatility in recent decades, characterized by periods of low or negative growth, high levels of inflation and currency devaluation, and may experience further volatility in the future.
During 2001 and 2002, Argentina experienced a period of severe political, economic and social crisis, which caused a significant economic contraction and led to radical changes in government policies. Among other things, the crisis resulted in Argentina defaulting on its sovereign foreign debt obligations, a significant devaluation of the Argentine peso and ensuing inflation, and the introduction of emergency measures that affected many sectors of the economy.
In 2005 and 2010, Argentina conducted exchange offers to restructure part of its sovereign debt that had been in default since the end of 2001. As a result of these exchange offers, Argentina restructured over 92% of its eligible defaulted debt. In April 2016, the Argentine Government settled U.S.$4.2 billion outstanding principal amount of debt held by creditors who had not participated in the 2005 and 2010 restructurings. However, as of the date of this prospectus, litigation initiated by bondholders, or holdout creditors, that have not accepted Argentina’s settlement offer continues in several jurisdictions, although the size of the claims involved has decreased significantly. See “—Argentina’s ability to obtain financing from international markets may be limited, which may in turn impair its ability to implement reforms and public policies and foster economic growth and could impact the ability of Argentine companies to obtain financing.”
Although Argentina has largely recovered from the 2001-2002 crisis, the pace of growth of Argentina’s economy has diminished, suggesting uncertainty as to whether the growth experienced between 2003 and
35

TABLE OF CONTENTS
2011 was sustainable. Economic growth was initially fueled by, among other things, a significant devaluation of the Argentine peso and high commodity prices. During 2008 and 2009, however, the Argentine economy suffered a slowdown resulting from local and external factors, including the effects of the global economic crisis and an extended drought affecting agricultural activities. Economic conditions in Argentina from 2012 to 2015 included a tightening of foreign exchange controls (beginning in the second half of 2011), increased inflation, a rising fiscal deficit and limitations on Argentina’s ability to service its sovereign debt in accordance with its terms due to its ongoing litigation with holdout creditors. In addition, there is an increasing need for capital investment in many sectors. A decline in international demand for Argentine products, a lack of stability and competitiveness of the Argentine peso against other currencies, a decline in confidence among consumers and foreign and domestic investors, a higher rate of inflation and future political uncertainties, among other factors, may affect the development of the Argentine economy. Any of these factors may be especially significant if they have a concentrated impact on the City of Buenos Aires metropolitan region where our two main airports in the country are located. More recently the economy has shown signs of a slowdown, primarily due to the decline in global commodity prices and adverse conditions in Brazil, one of Argentina’s principal trading partners.
Volatility in the Argentine economy and measures taken by the Argentine Government have had and are expected to continue to have a significant impact on us. A decline in economic growth, increased economic instability or an expansion of economic policies and measures taken by the Argentine Government to control inflation or address other macroeconomic developments that affect private sector entities such as us—all developments over which we have no control—could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The long-term impact of the presidential and congressional elections on the future economic and political environment of Argentina is uncertain.
The administration of Mauricio Macri took office on December 10, 2015. Since taking office, the new administration has announced and implemented several significant economic and policy reforms, including:

Foreign exchange and trade reforms. The new administration implemented reforms to the foreign exchange market in order to provide greater flexibility and easier access to the foreign exchange market. Likewise, export duties on several agricultural products and export duties on most industrial and mining exports were eliminated.

Electrical system state of emergency and reforms. The administration declared a state of emergency with respect to the national electrical system, which will be effective until December 31, 2017. The state of emergency allows the Argentine Government to take actions designed to guarantee the supply of electricity. In addition, the administration eliminated certain energy subsidies and substantially increased electricity tariffs in the Electrical Wholesale Market ( Mercado Eléctrico Mayorista ).

Reforms of gas prices. The administration increased substantially the price of natural gas in the regulated market, particularly for residential and commercial users. On March 10, 2017, the Ministry of Energy and Mining approved new gas tariffs to residential and commercial users to be charged for the period April 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017. As of the date of this prospectus, no further increases have been announced. However, gas tariffs are expected to increase before the end of the year. On October 24, 2017, the National Gas Regulation Entity ( Ente Nacional Regulador del Gas ) called for public hearings to determine new increases to gas tariffs.

Financial Policy. The administration settled the majority of outstanding claims with holdout creditors and has issued sovereign bonds in the international capital markets.

Deficit reduction. The administration announced its intention to reduce its primary budget deficit from approximately 5.8% of GDP in 2015 and 4.6% of GDP in 2016 to 4.2% of GDP in 2017, in part by eliminating public services’ subsidies in effect and decreasing public spending. Macri’s administration aims to achieve a balanced primary budget by 2019.

Agreement with holdout creditors and new bond issuances. In February 2016, the Argentine Government entered into settlement agreements with certain holdout bondholders to settle pending claims, which were subject to the approval of the Argentine Congress and the lifting of the pari passu injunctions. In
36

TABLE OF CONTENTS
March 2016, after the U.S. District Court agreed to vacate the pari passu injunctions subject to certain conditions, the Argentine Congress ratified these settlement agreements through Law No. 27,249 and repealed the so-called Lock Law No. 26,017 and the Sovereign Payment Law No. 26,984, which prohibited Argentina from offering holdout bondholders more favorable terms than those offered in the 2005 and 2010 debt exchanges. In the following months, the Argentine Government reached settlement agreements with holders of a significant portion of the defaulted bonds and repaid the majority of the holdout creditors with the proceeds of a U.S.$16.5 billion international offering of 3-year, 5-year, 10-year and 30-year bonds on April 22, 2016.

The long term impact that these measures and any future measures Macri’s administration may implement will have on the Argentine economy cannot be predicted. Some of the measures proposed by Macri’s administration may generate political and social opposition, which may in turn prevent the new government from adopting its proposed measures. Likewise, congressional elections were held in Argentina in October 2017, and although Macri’s party won in most jurisdictions, there is still uncertainty as to the administration’s ability to pass its proposed agenda or as to the possibility that some of the market reforms already executed may be reversed or amended.
We can offer no assurances as to the policies that may be implemented by the new Argentine administration, or that political developments in Argentina will not adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The long-term impact of the recent reforms to several Argentine economic indices is uncertain.
From 2007 to 2015, the Argentine National Statistics and Censuses Institute ( Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos) (the “INDEC”) underwent a process of institutional and methodological reforms that have created controversy with respect to the reliability and credibility of its reports with respect to the consumer price index, as well as other indexes published by the INDEC, including inflation, gross domestic product and unemployment data.
During December 2015 and January 2016, the Macri administration declared the national statistical system and the INDEC to be in a state of administrative emergency. The INDEC resumed its publication of the consumer price index in June 2016, after implementing certain methodological reforms and adjusting certain macroeconomic statistics on the basis of those reforms. The INDEC recently released revised GDP data for the years 2006-2015.
These events may affect the Argentine economy and investors’ perception of the country even after institutional and methodological reforms undertaken by the INDEC. Adverse economic developments, in turn, may ultimately affect the number of passengers in our airports in Argentina.
Argentina’s ability to obtain financing from international markets may be limited, which may in turn impair its ability to implement reforms and public policies and foster economic growth and could impact the ability of Argentine companies to obtain financing.
Argentina’s 2001 sovereign default and its failure to fully restructure its sovereign debt and negotiate with the holdout creditors has limited and may continue to limit Argentina’s ability to access international financing. In 2005, Argentina completed the restructuring of a substantial portion of its indebtedness and settled all of its debt with the International Monetary Fund. Additionally, in June 2010, Argentina completed the restructuring of a significant portion of the defaulted bonds that were not swapped in the 2005 restructuring. As a result of debt exchanges in 2005 and 2010, Argentina restructured approximately 92% of its defaulted debt that was eligible for restructuring. However, holdout bondholders that declined to participate in the restructurings filed lawsuits against Argentina in several countries, including the United States. In February 2016, the new Argentine administration entered into settlement agreements with certain holdout bondholders to settle these claims, which were subject to the approval of the Argentine Congress and the lifting of the injunctions imposed by the U.S. courts. In March 2016, after the U.S. District Court agreed to vacate the injunctions subject to certain conditions, the Argentine Congress ratified these settlement agreements through Law 27,249 and repealed the so-called Lock Law No. 26,017 and the Sovereign Payment Law No. 26,984, which prohibited Argentina from offering holdout bondholders more favorable terms than those offered in the 2005 and 2010 debt swaps. In recent months, the Argentine
37

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Government has reached settlement agreements with holders of a significant portion of the defaulted bonds and has repaid the majority of the holdout creditors with the proceeds of a U.S.$16.5 billion international offering of bonds on April 22, 2016. Although the size of the claims involved has decreased significantly, litigation initiated by bondholders that have not accepted Argentina’s settlement offer continues in several jurisdictions.
Additionally, foreign shareholders of several Argentine companies have filed claims with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) alleging that the emergency measures adopted by the Argentine Government since the crisis in 2001 and 2002 differ from the just and equal treatment standards set forth in several bilateral investment treaties to which Argentina is a party. ICSID has ruled against Argentina with respect to many of these claims.
Litigation involving holdout creditors, claims with ICSID and other claims against the Argentine Government resulted and may result in material judgments against the government, may lead to attachments of or injunctions relating to Argentina’s assets and could cause Argentina to default under its other obligations, and such events may prevent Argentina from obtaining favorable terms or interest rates when accessing international capital markets or from accessing international financing at all. In addition, Argentina’s ongoing litigation with the remaining holdout creditors as well as ICSID and other claims against the Argentine Government, or any future defaults on its financial obligations, may prevent Argentine companies, such as us, from accessing the international capital markets or cause the terms of any such transactions to be less favorable than those provided to companies in other countries in the region, potentially impacting our financial condition. Therefore, our ability to obtain favorable financing to develop or grow our operations in Argentina and in our airports may be impaired.
In June 2017, after the Macri administration had entered into settlement agreements with certain holdout bondholders, Argentina completed the U.S.$2.75 billion sale of 100-year government bonds. However, if, for any reason, Argentina is not able to access capital markets in the future, it could have a negative impact on our ability to obtain financing and our financial condition in Argentina.
Historical exchange controls and restrictions on capital inflows and outflows could limit the availability of international credit, adversely affecting the Argentine economy, and, as a result, our financial condition and results of operations.
Exchange controls introduced in Argentina in the past, and in particular after 2011 during the prior administration, gave rise to an unofficial U.S. dollar trading market, and the Argentine peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate in that market substantially differed from the official Argentine peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate. Additionally, the level of international reserves deposited with the Argentine Central Bank significantly decreased from U.S.$47.4 billion as of November 1, 2011, to U.S.$25.6 billion as of December 31, 2015. The decline in international reserves reduced the Argentine Government’s ability to intervene in the foreign exchange market and to provide access to such markets to private sector entities. The Macri administration has eliminated a significant portion of foreign exchange restrictions, including certain currency controls that were imposed by the previous administration. On August 8, 2016, the Argentine Central Bank introduced material changes to the foreign exchange regime and established a new foreign exchange regime by means of Communication “A” 6037 that significantly eases access to the free floating foreign exchange market. As of November 11, 2017, the level of international reserves deposited with the Argentine Central Bank had increased again to U.S.$54.7 billion.
Although the Macri administration has lifted most of the restrictions on capital inflows and outflows in and from Argentina and the level of international reserves deposited with the Argentine Central Bank have increased significantly, in the future the Argentine Government could impose new exchange controls or restrictions on the movement of capital and/or take other measures in response to capital flight or a significant depreciation of the peso, which could limit our ability to access the international capital markets and our ability to make payments abroad may be affected. Such measures could lead to political and social tensions and undermine the Argentine Government’s public finances, which could adversely affect Argentina’s economy and prospects for economic growth.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Government measures, as well as pressure from labor unions, could require salary increases or additional employee benefits, all of which could increase companies’ operating costs.
Most industrial and commercial activities in Argentina are regulated by specific collective bargaining agreements that group together companies according to industry sectors and trade unions. Argentine employers, both in the public and private sectors, have experienced significant pressure from their employees and labor organizations to increase wages and to provide additional employee benefits. Due to the high levels of inflation, employees and labor organizations are demanding wage increases. In the past, the Argentine Government passed laws, regulations and decrees requiring companies in the private sector to maintain minimum wage levels and to provide specified benefits to employees. The Argentine Government increased the minimum salary to AR$3,300 in August 2013, to AR$3,600 in January 2014, to AR$4,400 in September 2014, to AR$5,588 in August 2015, to AR$6,060 in January 2016 and to AR$8,060 in January 2017. From July 1, 2017 and until December 31, 2017, the minimum monthly salary of private employees has been set at AR$8,860.
In the future, the Argentine Government could take new measures requiring salary increases or additional employee benefits, and the labor force and labor unions may pressure employers to implement those measures. Increases in wages or employee benefits could result in added costs and adversely affect our results of operations in Argentina.
Increased public expenditures could result in long-lasting adverse consequences for the Argentine economy.
In recent years, the Argentine Government has substantially increased public expenditures. In 2016, public sector expenditures increased by 50.1% year over year and the Argentine Government reported a primary fiscal deficit of 4.6% of GDP, according to the Argentine Ministry of Economy (currently the Ministry of Treasury). Further fiscal deficits could negatively affect the Argentine Government’s ability to access the long-term financial markets and could, in turn, result in more limited access to such markets by Argentine companies, including us.
Restrictions on imports may adversely affect our revenues from cargo operators, as well as our ability to access capital goods that are necessary for our operations.
In 2012, the Argentine Government adopted an import procedure ( declaraciones juradas anticipadas de importación ), pursuant to which local authorities must pre-approve any import of products and services to Argentina as a precondition to allow importers to access the foreign exchange market to pay for such imported products and services. In 2012, the European Union, the United States and Japan filed claims with the World Trade Organization against certain import-related requirements maintained by Argentina. Recently, the World Trade Organization determined that those measures are not consistent with Argentina’s obligations under the World Trade Organization and requested their elimination. On December 22, 2015, through Resolution No. 3,823, the Argentine Federal Administration of Public Income ( Administracion Federal de Ingresos Publicos ) removed the import authorization system and replaced it with the new Comprehensive Import Monitoring System ( Sistema Integral de Monitoreo de Importaciones ). Among other changes, local authorities must now reply to any approval requests within a ten-day period from the date of filing.
If the Argentine Government further modifies the current import regulations and/or restricts the import of certain products, our revenues derived from cargo operations may be adversely affected.
A continued decline in the global prices of Argentina’s main commodity exports could have an adverse effect on Argentina’s economic growth.
Since the beginning of 2015, international commodity prices of Argentina’s primary commodity exports such as soy, wheat and other agricultural products have declined, which has had an adverse effect on Argentina’s economic growth. If international commodity prices continue to decline, the Argentine economy could be adversely affected. In addition, adverse weather conditions can affect the production of commodities by the agricultural sector, which account for a significant portion of Argentina’s export revenues.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
These circumstances could have a negative impact on the levels of consumer discretionary spending, government revenues, available foreign exchange and the Argentine Government’s ability to service its sovereign debt, and could generate either recessionary or inflationary pressures, depending on the Argentine Government’s reaction. Any of these results could adversely impact Argentina’s economic growth and our financial condition and results of operations.
The Argentine economy could be adversely affected by economic developments in other global markets and by more general “contagion” effects.
Argentina’s economy is vulnerable to external shocks that could be caused by adverse developments affecting its principal trading partners. A significant decline in the economic growth of any of Argentina’s major trading partners (including Brazil, the European Union, China and the United States) could have a material adverse impact on Argentina’s balance of trade and adversely affect Argentina’s economic growth. In particular, Brazil’s economy, which is Argentina’s largest export market and its principal source of imports, is currently experiencing heightened negative pressure due to the uncertainties stemming from ongoing political crises, including the impeachment of Brazil’s former president, Dilma Rousseff, the corruption investigations and allegations involving President Michel Temer and the recent criminal conviction of former president Luiz Inacio da Silva for corruption. The Brazilian economy declined by 3.6% during 2016. In addition, the Brazilian currency lost approximately 17.7% of its value relative to the U.S. dollar in 2016. Brazilian demand for Argentine exports has generally declined over the past five years and further deterioration of economic conditions in Brazil may increasingly reduce demand for Argentine exports and create advantages for Brazilian imports. Further adverse developments in the Brazilian political and economic crisis may have further negative effects on the Argentine economy and our operations.
Argentina may also be affected by other countries that have influence over world economic cycles. If interest rates rise significantly in developed economies, including the United States, emerging market economies, including Argentina, could find it increasingly challenging and expensive to borrow capital and refinance existing debt, which could negatively affect their economic growth.
Significant fluctuation in the value of the Argentine peso may adversely affect the Argentine economy as well as our financial condition and results of operations.
The Argentine peso has suffered significant declines against the U.S. dollar and has continued to decline against the U.S. dollar. Despite the positive effects of the decline of the Argentine peso on the competitiveness of certain sectors of the Argentine economy, it can also have far-reaching negative impacts on the Argentine economy and on businesses’ and individuals’ financial condition.
After several years of relatively moderate variations in the nominal exchange, the Argentine peso depreciated 14.4% against the U.S. dollar in 2012, 32.6% in 2013, 31.2% in 2014, 52% in 2015 and 22.2% in 2016. Since the depreciation of the Argentine peso in December 2015, the Argentine Central Bank has allowed the Argentine peso to float and has limited its intervention only to ensure the orderly functioning of the foreign exchange market. As of December 4, 2017, the exchange rate was 17.26 to U.S.$1.00. If the peso continues to depreciate, all of the negative effects on the Argentine economy related to such depreciation could resurface. Moreover, it could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations due to our exposure to financial commitments in U.S. dollars.
International and regional passenger use fees are denominated in U.S. dollars and are payable in both U.S. dollars and Argentine pesos. Currency exchange rate volatility directly affects conversions of U.S. dollars into Argentine pesos. Any appreciation in the value of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar may reduce our cash flows. Conversely, any depreciation in the value of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar may increase our cash flows.
The overall cost increase of international travel as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates could potentially lead to decreased passenger traffic volume as a result of increases in travel costs. A large decrease in the value of a particular foreign currency relative to the value of the Argentine peso or the U.S. dollar, as applicable, could have an adverse effect on the number of international air passengers originating from nations that use such devalued currency.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Continuing high inflation may impact the Argentine economy and adversely affect our results of operations.
Inflation has, in the past, materially undermined the Argentine economy and the Argentine Government’s ability to foster conditions that would permit stable economic growth. In recent years, Argentina has confronted inflationary pressures, evidenced by a significant increase in fuel, energy and food prices, among other factors. According to the most recent publicly available information, the inflation rate was 31.6% for 2015, 41.0% for 2016 and 17.6% for the first nine months of 2017.
High inflation could undermine Argentina’s foreign competitiveness by diluting the effects of the depreciation of the Argentine peso, negatively affecting the level of economic activity and employment, and undermining confidence in Argentina’s banking system, which could further limit the availability of domestic and international financing to businesses. Furthermore, a portion of Argentina’s sovereign debt is subject to adjustment by the Stabilization Coefficient ( Coeficiente de Estabilización de Referencia ), a currency index that is strongly related to inflation. Therefore, any significant increase in inflation could cause an increase in Argentina’s external debt and, consequently, in Argentina’s financial obligations, which could aggravate the pressure on the Argentine economy. If inflation remains high or continues to increase, Argentina’s economy may be negatively affected and our results of operations could be materially affected.
Government intervention in the Argentine economy could adversely affect the economy and our financial condition and results of operations.
During past years, the Argentine Government increased its direct intervention in the economy, including through the implementation of expropriations or nationalizations and price controls. In 2008, the Argentine Government nationalized the Argentine private pension funds ( Administradoras de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones ) and in April 2012, the Argentine Government nationalized the Argentine energy company Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales .
Although the current administration has not implemented or advocated any nationalization or expropriation measures, similar measures, such as mandatory renegotiation or modification of existing contracts, new taxation policies, changes in laws, regulations and policies affecting foreign trade, investment, among others, that may be adopted by the Argentine Government in the future could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Other Principal Operations and Other Principal Markets in Which We Operate
Italy
Our revenues and operations may be affected if the Ente Nazionale per L’Aviazione Civile (“ENAC”) and the Ministro delle Infrastrutture e Dei Transporti (“MIT”) do not comply with the executed Financing Program Agreement (Contratto Di Programma Quadro Di Finanziamento), to finance the works in the Florence Airport as required by the Florence Airport Master Plan.
On February 16, 2017, TA, MIT and ENAC executed an agreement whereby TA agreed to conduct the works in the Florence Airport master plan. ENAC, together with MIT, agreed to partially finance the works through a €150 million financing commitment. If these governmental entities do not provide such financing, the completion of the works at the Florence Airport may be delayed. We may not be able to replace such financing for completion of the works on comparable terms or at all. If any of these situations arise, our results of operations and revenues may be affected.
If the approval process from local and national authorities of the master plans for the Pisa and Florence Airports are further delayed, our financial results from the operation of such airports will be negatively impacted.
Under the current master plans for the Florence and Pisa Airports, we are planning to complete certain construction and renovation works. Prior to commencement of such works, we require technical, environmental impact study and urban planning approvals, among others, to be granted by local and
41

TABLE OF CONTENTS
national authorities. The approval process is taking longer than initially anticipated and therefore, completion of the projects is also being delayed. Our ability to increase revenues and profits derived from the operation of the Florence and/or Pisa Airports will be adversely affected if the approval process is further delayed.
The exercise of the special powers of the Italian Government may restrict our ability to take certain corporate actions or restrict the ability of investors to acquire a significant stake in our share capital.
Certain regulations concerning legal restrictions on transfer of assets of strategic national importance to persons or entities that are not residents of the European Union may apply to us, as controlling shareholder of TA, the operator of our Italian Airports.
Although we do not believe that our offering will trigger the provisions of Law Decree No. 21 of March 15, 2012 (“Law Decree 21/2012”), as converted with amendments into Law No. 56 of May 11, 2012, which granted the Italian Government special powers (the “Golden Powers”), in the event that: (i) we try to transfer our shareholding in TA and/or the Italian Airports; or (ii) a controlling stake of our share capital is transferred to a third party in the future, the Italian Government may exercise its powers under Law Decree 21/2012. Below is a description of the procedure that would apply in such a case.
Pursuant to current laws and regulations, (i) the approval of specific corporate resolutions by companies operating in the energy, transport, and communications sectors, which are understood to be of strategic importance to the nation, and (ii) the acquisition of significant shareholdings in such companies by investors, are subject to the Golden Powers. Article 2 of Law Decree 21/2012 specifically regulates the special powers of the Italian Government over the strategic assets of companies operating in the transport sector. In particular, these provisions state that, in relation to companies that own one or more of such strategic assets, the Italian Government may:

veto any resolutions, acts and transactions that would (i) determine a change in the ownership, control, or transferability of those assets themselves or change their use, (ii) result in an exceptional situation not regulated by national or European laws applicable to the sector, or (iii) constitute a threat of a serious prejudice to the interest of public safety and operation of the networks and installations, and the continued provision of services (Article 2, paragraph 3);

impose conditions requiring certain buyers outside the European Union to give guarantees in any purchase and for any reason, (Article 2, paragraph 5), of shareholdings in an amount that would give the buyer control of the company purchased, pursuant to Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code and the Consolidated Financial Services Act, if such a purchase poses a serious threat to public interest in the security and operation of networks and installations and the continued provision of services (Article 2, paragraph 6); and

oppose the purchase described in sub-section b), if such a purchase entails exceptional risks to the protection of public interest relating to the security and operation of networks and installations and continued provision of services, which cannot be mitigated by the buyer committing to guarantee the protection of such interests (Article 2, paragraph 6).
Article 2 of the Decree of the President of the Italian Republic No. 85 of March 25, 2014 has identified “strategic assets” in the transport industry in Italy as large networks and plants of national interest, intended to ensure the main trans-European corridors and the related conventional reports, including (i) ports of national interest; (ii) airports of national interest; and (iii) national railroad networks of relevance for trans-European networks.
The infrastructure located at our airports in Italy fall within the definition of  “strategic assets” mentioned above.
As a result, our ability to enter into certain commercial transactions (and, in particular, those involving the transfer of the shareholding in TA and/or the strategic assets owned by TA) may be further restricted by the Italian Government’s decision to exercise its Golden Powers with respect to the management of strategic transport assets in Italy. Furthermore, in the future, our or our shareholders’ ability to enter into change of control or takeover transactions may be impacted by the exercise by the Italian Government of its special
42

TABLE OF CONTENTS
powers under the Golden Powers rules. In either case, this may limit our ability, as TA’s shareholder, to benefit from the proceeds of certain proposed asset sales or acquisitions or business combinations, and may limit our shareholder’s ability to benefit from possible premiums connected to a proposed change in control transaction or tender offer.
If the Italian Government exercises these Golden Powers in the future with respect to any transaction involving, directly or indirectly, TA and/or the Italian Airports, such exercise could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects in the future.
Volatility in the global financial markets resulting from the recurrence of the Eurozone crisis, geopolitical developments in Eastern Europe or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Volatility in the global financial markets could have an adverse effect on the economic recovery in the United States and could result from a number of events, including a relapse in the Eurozone crisis, geopolitical developments in Eastern Europe or otherwise. The effects of the Eurozone crisis, which began in late 2009 as part of the global economic and financial crisis, continued to impact the global financial markets through 2013. Numerous factors continued to fuel the Eurozone crisis, including continued high levels of government debt, the undercapitalization and liquidity problems of many banks in the Eurozone and relatively low levels of economic growth. These factors made it difficult or impossible for some countries in the Eurozone to repay or refinance their debt without the assistance of third parties. As a result of the combination of newly implemented austerity programs, debt write-downs and the European Central Bank’s commitment to restore financial stability to the Eurozone, as well as the finalization of the primary European Stability Mechanism bailout fund, in 2013 and into 2014 interest rates began to fall and share prices began to increase. Although these trends have helped to stabilize the effects of the Eurozone crisis, the underlying causes of the crisis have not been completely eliminated.
In particular, in the second quarter of 2014, Italy’s economy entered a recession for the third time since 2008, underscoring the residual weakness of certain Eurozone economies. In June 2017, the European Central Bank announced that two small local Italian banks, Banca Popolare di Vicenza and Veneto Banca, were failing due to such bank’s reported breach of supervisory capital requirements. While the Single Resolution Board of the European Central Bank elected not to intervene, the Italian Government has decided to provide bailout funds to the two banks in order to protect depositors. Future bank failures in Italy could potentially affect our ability to obtain local financing from local banks in Italy. Furthermore, a weaker economy in Italy may lead to a decrease in air travel and related spending, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If other economies in the Eurozone experience similar trends in the near term, volatility in the global financial markets could return to levels experienced in the peak of the Eurozone crisis, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We intend to transfer our handling and security services from TA to a third party.
We currently directly provide handling and security services at the Florence Airport and Pisa Airport. We intend to transfer these businesses, services and employees to a third-party service provider. Such transfer or process of transfer could potentially result in either temporary or periodic disruption of operations due to work stoppages, protests or the transferred employees may seek to challenge the legitimacy of the transaction in the courts under applicable Italian law. Any such work stoppages may affect the experience of our passengers at such airports, reduce our revenues or potentially negatively affect their decisions to use such airports in the future.
Coordinating compliance with regulatory obligations may strain our resources and divert management’s attention.
TA is listed on the Milan Stock Exchange. As a public company, TA is subject to the reporting requirements of local regulations in Italy and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations involves our legal and financial compliance costs, makes some activities more difficult,
43

TABLE OF CONTENTS
time-consuming or costly and increases demand on TA’s systems and resources. Coordination between TA and us to comply with our respective regulatory and filings procedures can be burdensome, divert management’s attention and affect our daily operations and business.
In addition, the interests of TA’s public shareholders may not be the same as the interest of our new public shareholders or the Selling Shareholder. This conflict of interest may affect our operation and business.
The Alitalia Air Company bankruptcy proceeding, or any other bankruptcy proceeding filed by any of the other airlines that service any of the airports we operate, may affect our operations and revenue.
In May 2017, Alitalia Air Company (Società Aerea Italiana or “Alitalia”), filed for bankruptcy for a third time. The Italian Government did not institute a bailout program and is currently undertaking a sales process for Alitalia. Alitalia represented 4.6% of revenue in Italy and 0.5% of our combined consolidated revenue in 2016. If we are unable to replace Alitalia’s business, the financial results and condition of our Italian operations could be adversely affected.
Furthermore, if any of our aeronautical customers were to reduce their use of our airports or cease to operate in them for any reason, including bankruptcy, the remaining airlines may not increase their flight frequency to replace the flights our aeronautical customers were no longer operating, in which case, our business would be adversely affected.
Our organization, management and control model may prove to be inadequate or insufficient pursuant to the requirements of the Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001.
TA is subject to the obligations arising from Legislative Decree No. 231 of June 8, 2001 (“Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001”). Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 introduced a specific system of enterprise liability for several types of criminal offenses committed in corporate interest and/or to its advantage by persons in senior management positions or those persons’ subordinates.
In compliance with the Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001, TA has adopted and has currently in place an organization, management and control model (the “231 Model”) in order to adopt corporate governance structures and risk prevention systems to stop managers, executives, employees and external collaborators from committing crimes. However, the adoption of a 231 Model does not itself exclude any form of liability under Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001, and failure to update the 231 Model increases the risk that administrative liability under Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 may arise. If TA’s 231 Model proves to be inadequate or insufficient following a violation committed by any of our managers, executives, employees and/or external collaborators, TA may be subject to pecuniary fines, suspension or revocation of licenses, permits or even disqualification from the public administration registry and prohibition on contracting with Italian public authorities. If any of these situations arises, our operations and business may be significantly affected.
We might be negatively affected by government instability in Italy.
Over the last 67 years, Italy has had 61 different governments. We have no control over and cannot predict the effects of future changes in the Italian Government and the future policies that these new governments may adopt. These developments, as well as potential crises and forms of political instability arising therefrom or any other as of yet unforeseen development, may adversely affect us and the price of our common shares.
Brazil
Officials of the entity that controls Infravix, a former shareholder of ICASGA and ICAB, were found guilty of corruption, money laundering and criminal organization in connection with the Car Wash Affair.
In recent years, the Office of the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor has been conducting various ongoing investigations into allegations of money laundering and corruption in Brazil, including the largest investigation, known as Lava Jato (the “Car Wash Affair”).
44

TABLE OF CONTENTS
In 2014, Engevix (the entity that controlled Infravix, a former shareholder of ICASGA and ICAB) was the subject of investigations and allegations related to the Car Wash Affair. In 2015, Engevix’s executive officers were found guilty and required to pay penalties for corruption, money laundering and criminal organization in connection with Engevix’s engineering and construction companies unrelated to their airport business. According to public sources, these penalties are still under review by local courts in Brazil.
As part of the Brazilian Consolidation, we acquired all of the interests owned by Infravix in Inframerica and in ICAB and, as a result, Infravix is no longer a shareholder in either Inframerica or ICAB. Neither ICAB nor ICASGA have been notified of any investigation against them and, to our knowledge, the investigations of Engevix are related solely to its engineering and construction businesses and not to their investments in either ICAB or ICASGA. However, to the extent any of Engevix’s executive officers are found to have acted illegally in connection with business directly involving ICAB or ICASGA, we could be subject to penalties or reputational harm which, in either case, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We have identified payments made by ICAB that may not have had any proper purpose and that could expose us to fines and sanctions as well as reputational harm and other adverse effects.
We have identified three payments totaling approximately U.S.$250,000 made by ICAB during 2014, when Infravix was still an indirect shareholder of ICAB, to individuals or entities that the press have suggested made illegal payments to government officials on behalf of corporate clients. We have been unable to identify a proper purpose for some of these payments. We may be, but have no official notice that we are, under investigation by Brazilian authorities in connection with these payments. We could be exposed to reputational harm and other adverse effects in connection with these payments. If these payments are ultimately found to have been improper, we could be subject to fines and sanctions, as well as other penalties. Any of the foregoing effects could have a material adverse effect on our business.
The ongoing economic uncertainty and political instability in Brazil may adversely affect our economic and financial condition.
Brazil’s political environment has historically influenced, and continues to influence, the performance of the country’s economy. Political crises have affected and continue to affect the confidence of investors and the general public, which have historically resulted in economic deceleration and heightened volatility in the securities issued by Brazilian companies.
The recent economic instability in Brazil has contributed to a decline in market confidence in the Brazilian economy as well as to a deteriorating political environment. In addition, various ongoing investigations into allegations of money laundering and corruption being conducted by the Office of the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor, including the Car Wash Affair, have negatively affected the Brazilian economy and political environment. Members of the Brazilian Government as well as senior officers of large state-owned companies have faced or are currently facing allegations of corruption and money laundering as a result of the Car Wash Affair. These individuals are alleged to have accepted and/or offered bribes by means of kickbacks on contracts granted by the Brazilian Government to several infrastructure, oil and gas and construction companies. These kickbacks allegedly financed the political campaigns of political parties forming the previous government’s coalition that was led by former President Dilma Rousseff, which funds were unaccounted for or not publicly disclosed. These funds were also allegedly destined toward the personal enrichment of certain individuals. A number of senior politicians, including former president Luiz Inacio da Silva, members of the Brazilian Congress, and high-ranking executive officers of major corporations and state-owned companies in Brazil have been arrested, convicted of various charges relating to corruption, entered into plea agreements with federal prosecutors and/or have resigned or been removed from their positions. The potential outcome of the Car Wash Affair as well as other ongoing corruption-related investigations is uncertain, but they have already had an adverse impact on the image and reputation of those companies that have been implicated as well as on the general market perception of the Brazilian economy, political environment and capital markets. These investigations and allegations may lead to further political and economic instability, and new allegations against government officials may arise in the future.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
On April 17, 2016, the Brazilian House of Representatives voted to hold a trial on impeachment charges against former President Rousseff and suspended her from office. President Rousseff was replaced by Vice President Michel Temer, who served as acting President until Ms. Rousseff was impeached and permanently removed from office by the Brazilian Senate on August 31, 2016. While President Temer is expected to serve as President until December 2018, he is currently under investigation for corruption and the Office of the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor is seeking his indictment. Likewise, former president Luiz Inácio da Silva was recently sentenced to 9.5 years in jail for his conviction for corruption and is currently appealing such conviction. He is also subject of several other ongoing criminal investigations. Any of the above factors may create additional political uncertainty, which could have a material adverse effect on the Brazilian economy and, consequently, on our Brazil operations and on us.
We expect to incur losses in our Brazilian operations for the next several years due to the accretion of the financial liability recognized as a result of the fixed concession fee committed.
Under the Brazilian Concession Agreements with the Brazilian Government for the operation of the Brasilia Airport and the Natal Airport, we are obligated to pay an annual fixed concession fee which is adjusted for inflation. Initially, we recognized this contractual obligation as a financial liability at fair value in acquisition accounting. Now, we measure the liability at amortized cost using an effective interest rate. Any change in the current market-based discount rate used to discount the estimated cash outflows, as well as an increase in the liability that reflects the passage of time (also referred to as the unwinding of a discount or accretion) is recognized as expense, period over period. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized a loss of U.S.$66.3 million and U.S.$107.4 million, respectively, relating to these effects. See Note 24 to our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 14 to our Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements. We expect the accretion described above to occur in a similar magnitude in the next several years.
We may not be able to achieve our strategy to expand commercial activities at the Brasilia Airport.
A key part of our strategy to expand and increase our commercial revenues in the Brasilia Airport is the development of an approximately 40,000 square meter gross leasable commercial area connected to the existing terminal, which will also be completely accessible from outside of the passenger departure area. We expect that the total cost of such development will be U.S.$190.0 million. Although ICAB could partner with third parties to complete the investment associated with such expansion, ICAB may elect to fund all or a part of the cost of the development with a mix of cash and financing obtained in the local market. If ICAB provides the capital and the costs of development exceed the current budget, the completion of the construction projects is delayed or the commercial area fails to attract the number of customers that we anticipate, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
The Brazilian Government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Brazilian economy. This involvement, as well as Brazil’s political and economic conditions, could adversely affect us.
The Brazilian Government frequently exercises significant influence over the Brazilian economy and occasionally makes significant changes in policy and regulations. The Brazilian Government’s actions to control inflation and other policies and regulations have often involved, among other measures, increases in interest rates, changes in tax policies, price controls, foreign exchange rate controls and currency devaluations. We have no control over and cannot predict what measures or policies the Brazilian Government may take in the face of mounting macroeconomic pressures or otherwise. Uncertainty over whether the Brazilian Government will implement changes in policy or regulation in the future may affect economic performance and contribute to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility in the Brazilian capital market and securities issued by Brazilian companies. Furthermore, a significant percentage of the revenue of the Brasilia Airport and the Natal Airport derives from the subleasing of rental space within and around the airport. Should such subleases not be renewed given the macroeconomic situation in Brazil, the results of operations of our Brazilian operations could be negatively affected.
Exchange rate instability may have adverse effects on the Brazilian economy and us.
The Brazilian currency has been historically volatile and has been devalued frequently over the past three decades. Throughout this period, the Brazilian Government has implemented various economic plans and
46

TABLE OF CONTENTS
used various exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluations, periodic mini-devaluations (during which the frequency of adjustments has ranged from daily to monthly), exchange controls, dual exchange rate markets and a floating exchange rate system. Although long-term depreciation of the Brazilian real is generally linked to the rate of inflation in Brazil, depreciation of the Brazilian real occurring over shorter periods of time has resulted in significant variations in the exchange rate between the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar and other currencies. The Brazilian real depreciated against the U.S. dollar by 46.6% in 2015, and by 13.7% in 2014. The Brazilian real/U.S. dollar exchange rate reported by the Brazilian Central Bank was R$3.9048 per U.S. dollar on December 31, 2015 and R$3.2591 per U.S. dollar on December 31, 2016, reflecting a 16.5% appreciation in the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar, but there can be no assurance that the Brazilian real will not again depreciate against the U.S. dollar or other currencies in the future, which could lead to fluctuations in our consolidated earnings and cash flow as measured in U.S. dollars.
We may not be successful in our claims before the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (Agencia Nacional de Aviação) (“Brazilian ANAC”), and we may not prevail in any arbitration proceeding challenging claims denied by the Brazilian ANAC.
On January 13, 2016, ICAB filed claims before the Brazilian ANAC in the total amount of R$758.0 million (U.S.$253.1 million), requesting the economic re-equilibrium of ICAB’s concession agreement based on, among other things, additional construction works required to complete the terminals and the runway that were not provided for in the concession agreement, and the negative impact of the issuance of new rules and regulations by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, which reduced ICAB’s revenues in connection with the use of the cargo terminal.
In addition, on June 29, 2017, ICAB filed new claims with the Brazilian ANAC in the amount of R$196.8 million (U.S.$61.2 million) requesting the economic re-equilibrium of ICAB’s concession agreement based on, among other things, the loss of revenues as a result of the modification to the rules and regulations affecting the air traffic system at the Congonhas airport. In total, ICAB has claims in the amount of R$734.0 million (U.S.$225.9 million) that were denied by the Brazilian ANAC.
Claims in the amount of R$454.1 million (U.S.$120.2 million) were denied by the Brazilian ANAC, and ICAB expects to initiate an arbitration proceeding with respect to the denied claims. The remaining claims are under review by the Brazilian ANAC.
On December 29, 2015, ICASGA filed claims in the total amount of R$1.0 billion (U.S.$263.1 million) before the Brazilian ANAC requesting the economic re-equilibrium of ICASGA’s concession agreement. In total, ICASGA has claims in the amount of R$957.0 million (U.S.$251.7 million) that were denied by the Brazilian ANAC.
Both ICAB and ICASGA expect to initiate a judicial or an arbitration proceeding with respect to the denied claims.
The failure to recover such claimed amounts could adversely affect our profitability in future periods as a result of not being able to include these amounts in our income or to use the funds for general corporate purposes.
Uruguay
Our revenue derived from the operation of the airports in Uruguay could be adversely affected by the deterioration of neighboring markets.
In 2002, Uruguay experienced its steepest economic and financial crisis in recent history, resulting mostly from external factors. Devaluation in neighboring Brazil in 1999 and recent political and economic crises in Brazil made Uruguayan goods less competitive. Starting in late 2001, an economic crisis in Argentina also undermined Uruguay’s economy. In mid-2002, Argentine withdrawals from Uruguayan banks started a bank run that was overcome only by massive borrowing from international financial institutions, leading in turn to serious debt sustainability problems.
As the number of passengers that use the airports we operate in Uruguay remains highly linked to the numbers of passengers using the airports in Uruguay’s main trading partners, such as Brazil and Argentina, any deterioration of a neighboring market could have a material impact on the number of passenger at our Uruguayan airports which, in turn, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Ecuador
The results of the recent Ecuadorian presidential elections may create further political instability which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On April 2, 2017, Lenin Moreno narrowly won the Ecuadorian presidential election by a margin of 3% of votes cast, amid widespread accusations of voting irregularities. Voting officials recounted up to 1.3 million votes, representing 10% of all votes cast, despite opposition leader Guillermo Lasso’s call for a full recount of all votes cast. On August 3, 2017, President Moreno removed Vice President Jorge Glas from office due to his alleged connection to the Car Wash Affair. We have no control over and cannot predict the effects of Lenin Moreno’s administration or policies. These developments, as well as potential crises and forms of political instability arising therefrom or any other as of yet unforeseen development, may adversely affect us.
The ongoing economic uncertainty in Ecuador may adversely affect us.
Ecuador defaulted on a sovereign debt obligation in 2008 and its economic policies have created uncertainty about its future. The Ecuadorian economy is heavily dependent on the oil industry, and the decline of oil prices in 2014 and 2015 had a significant impact on the Ecuadorian economy and its national budget. Due to Ecuador’s dollarized economy, the strength of the U.S. dollar against local currencies of Ecuador’s trading partners has negatively impacted the export sector in Ecuador. All of the foregoing has increased uncertainty as to the future economic conditions in Ecuador which may affect our revenue derived from the Ecuadorian airports. A weaker economy may lead to a decrease in air travel and related spending, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Tensions with Colombia may affect the Ecuadorian economy and, consequently, our results of operations and financial condition in the future.
Diplomatic relations between Ecuador and Colombia have from time to time been tense and affected by events surrounding the Colombian armed forces’ engagement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces ( Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia , known as FARC), particularly on Colombia’s borders with Ecuador. Any future deterioration in relations with Colombia may result in the closing of borders, the imposition of trade barriers or a breakdown of diplomatic ties, any of which could have a negative effect on trade balance, economy and the general security situation, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Armenia
Our operations in Armenia are significantly affected by travel to and from Russia.
Approximately 68.8% of the traffic to our airports in Armenia comes from Russia. In the last two years, the Russian ruble has experienced significant depreciation against many world currencies. In addition, Russia has been subject, and may be subject in the future, to economic and other sanctions from the United States, other European nations and neighboring countries. Adverse developments relating to and occurring in Russia would have a negative impact on our operations in Armenia.
Armenia’s relations with Azerbaijan may deteriorate.
The dissolution of the Soviet Union, which allowed its constituent republics, including Armenia, to become sovereign nation states, also led other groups to assert claims for independence, sometimes leading to violent clashes. Such clashes have occurred, for example, in Russia’s Chechnya region, in Moldova’s Transdniester region and in Georgia’s Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions.
In December 1991, the population of Nagorno-Karabakh, a predominantly ethnic Armenian enclave on the border of Armenia and Azerbaijan, voted in favor of the establishment of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, now known as the Republic of Artsakh. After a period of armed conflict during which Azerbaijan tried to assert control over the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, a ceasefire was established in 1994 and is currently in force.
48

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Minor skirmishes continue to break out from time to time along the truce line. No country has yet recognized the Republic of Artsakh.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has had serious repercussions for Armenia, including high cost for the defense of Nagorno-Karabakh. An escalation in hostilities arising from the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh could materially disrupt the Armenian economy (including reducing air traffic to the region), require Armenia to make substantial defense expenditures in the region and have negative consequences for Armenia in its international diplomatic and trade relations, which in turn, could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Peru
Construction and improvement works performed at our AAP Airports have not been approved by the Peruvian Government and thus we may not be reimbursed for the investment and expenditures made under the AAP Concession Agreement.
We are currently completing the mandatory construction works necessary for our requesting of reimbursement from the Peruvian Government for the investments we made at the AAP Airports for the construction, improvement, operation and maintenance of such airports. The Peruvian Government has not yet agreed to reimburse us for such investments because the mandatory construction works have not yet been completed. Upon completion of such mandatory construction works and determination of final construction metrics, we will be able to determine the final settlement value of such works and request reimbursement from the Peruvian Government. As of September 30, 2017, there was approximately U.S.$26.6 million in construction works for which we anticipate requesting reimbursement. However, we may never be reimbursed by the Peruvian Government for the total investment amount, which could affect our results of operation and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Offering and Our Common Shares
There is no previous public market for the sale of our common shares and the price of our common shares may be highly volatile.
We have not previously had any securities traded on any exchange and, as a result, have no trading history. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our common shares will create or be able to maintain an active trading market, or how liquid that market will be in the future. The market price of our common shares may be volatile and may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

the failure of financial analysts to cover our common shares or changes in financial estimates by analysts;

actual or anticipated variations in our operating results;

changes in financial estimates by financial analysts, or any failure by us to meet or exceed any of these estimates, or changes in the recommendations of any financial analysts that elect to follow our common shares or the shares of our competitors;

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts or acquisitions;

future sales of our common shares; and

investor perceptions of us and the industries in which we operate.
In addition, the equity markets in general have experienced substantial price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies affected. These broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of certain companies’ securities, securities class action litigation has been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
In the future, we may issue options, restricted shares and other forms of share-based compensation, which have the potential to dilute shareholder value and cause the price of our common shares to decline.
We may offer share options, restricted shares and other forms of share-based compensation to our directors, officers and employees in the future. If any options that we issue are exercised, or any restricted shares that we may issue vest, and those shares are sold into the public market, the market price of our common shares may decline. In addition, the availability of common shares for award under any equity incentive plan we may introduce, or the grant of share options, restricted shares or other forms of share-based compensation, may adversely affect the market price of our common shares.
We will have broad discretion in how to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering and we may not apply the proceeds to uses with which all our shareholders agree or that produce income.
We intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering to fund operations, including, but not limited to, repayment of debt to acquire or bid for concessions, and for other general corporate purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have no specific allocation for the net proceeds we receive in this offering, and our management retains the right to utilize the net proceeds as it determines. Our management could fail to use the proceeds to effectively continue the growth of our business or to use the proceeds in a manner with which all our shareholders will agree. Moreover, a significant portion of the common shares sold in this offering will be offered by the Selling Shareholder and we will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of common shares by the Selling Shareholder.
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of the common shares you purchase and you may face future dilution.
The initial public offering price for our common shares will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per common share as of             . Purchasers of our common shares in this offering will therefore incur an immediate and substantial dilution of U.S.$       in the net tangible book value per common share from the initial public offering price of U.S.$       per common share. This dilution is due in large part to the fact that our earlier investors paid substantially less than the initial public offering price when they purchased their common shares. In addition, we may issue options to acquire common shares. To the extent these options are issued, there will be further dilution to investors in this offering. Moreover, if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional common shares from us or if we issue additional equity securities, you will experience additional dilution. See “Dilution.”
A significant portion of our common shares may be sold into the public market in the near future, which could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
If our directors, executive officers or the Selling Shareholder sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market after the lock-up and legal restrictions on resale discussed in this prospectus lapse, the trading price of our common stock could substantially decline.
Our officers, directors, and the Selling Shareholder, holder of all of our common shares prior to this offering, have entered into lock-up agreements with the underwriters under which they have agreed, subject to specific exceptions, not to sell, directly or indirectly, any common shares, including securities that are convertible into common shares and securities that are convertible into, repayable with, exchangeable for or exercisable for common shares, without the permission of Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC for a period of 180 days following the date of this prospectus. We refer to such period as the “lock-up period.” When the lock-up period expires, we and the other persons subject to the lock-up agreement will be able to sell our common shares in the public market. In addition, pursuant to a registration rights and indemnification agreement, the Selling Shareholder and any affiliate transferees have the right, subject to certain conditions, to require us to register the sale of their common shares under the Securities Act. By exercising their registration rights and selling a large number of shares, our existing owners could cause the prevailing market price of our common shares to decline. Following completion of this offering, the common shares covered by registration rights would represent approximately    % of our outstanding capital stock (or    %, if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional ordinary shares). Registration of any of these outstanding common shares would result in such shares becoming freely tradable without

compliance with Rule 144 upon effectiveness of the registration statement. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale.” In addition, Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC may, in their sole discretion, release all or some portion of the common shares subject to lock-up agreements at any time and for any reason.
Sales of a substantial number of such common shares upon expiration of the lock-up, the perception that such sales may occur or early release of these agreements could cause our market price to fall or make it more difficult for you to sell your common shares at a time and price that you deem appropriate.
We may need additional capital after this offering and we may not be able to obtain it.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, ability to raise financing and the proceeds to us from this offering will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the foreseeable future. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If these resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain other sources of financing. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness could result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations.
Our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including:

investors’ perception of, and demand for, securities of technology services companies;

conditions of the U.S. capital markets and other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds;

our future results of operations and financial condition;

government regulation of foreign investment in the United States, Europe and Latin America; and

global economic, political and other conditions in jurisdictions in which we do business.
Our business and results of operations may be adversely affected by the increased strain on our resources from complying with the reporting, disclosure and other requirements applicable to public companies in the United States promulgated by the U.S. Government, New York Stock Exchange or other relevant regulatory authorities.
Compliance with existing, new and changing corporate governance and public disclosure requirements adds uncertainty to our compliance policies and increases our costs of compliance. Changing laws, regulations and standards include those relating to accounting, corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listing guidelines. These laws, regulations and guidelines may lack specificity and are subject to varying interpretations. Their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. In particular, compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”) and related regulations regarding required assessment of internal controls over financial reporting and our external auditor’s audit of that assessment, requires the commitment of significant financial and managerial resources. Testing and maintaining internal controls can divert our management’s attention from other matters that are important to the operation of our business. We also expect the regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs, making it more difficult to attract and retain qualified officers and members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee, and make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly.
Existing, new and changing corporate governance and public disclosure requirements could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs of compliance as a result of ongoing revisions to such governance standards. Our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. In

addition, new laws, regulations and standards regarding corporate governance may make it more difficult for our company to obtain director and officer liability insurance. Further, our board members and senior management could face an increased risk of personal liability in connection with their performance of duties. As a result, we may face difficulties attracting and retaining qualified board members and senior management, which could harm our business. If we fail to comply with new or changed laws or regulations and standards differ, our business and reputation may be harmed.
Due to our first-time adoption of IFRS and the Reorganization, our internal controls over financial reporting may not be effective, which could have a significant and adverse effect on our results of operation and financial reporting process.
As we are a first-time adopter of IFRS and prepared our first IFRS financial statements in 2016, we have faced many challenging and complex accounting and financial reporting matters. As a private company, except pursuant to contractual obligations, we were not required to produce annual or quarterly periodic reports in the past. Furthermore, in connection with our corporate reorganization, several businesses that were previously separately operated, albeit under common control, are now unified in their reporting activities for the first time. Many of our financial reporting and internal controls have undergone significant changes in a short period of time. Implementation of our internal control mechanisms and governance might be challenging and complicate our financial reporting process.
We have identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting. If we are unable to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting in the future, or if we fail to promptly remediate our current material weakness, our results of operations and the price of our common shares could be adversely affected.
We prepared our first IFRS financial statements on October 5, 2017. Prior to our adoption of IFRS, we were not required to produce annual or quarterly periodic reports. In the process of preparing our first IFRS financial statements, we have had to face many challenging and complex accounting and financial reporting issues and we have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement in the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We did not effectively design controls in response to the risk of material misstatement. Specifically, in certain cases we did not design controls at a sufficient level of precision to identify potential material misstatements. This material weakness contributed to the following control deficiency, which is considered a material weakness: we did not design and maintain effective controls with respect to the accounting for the disposition of subsidiaries at the consolidated level. This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of our combined consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and January 1, 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 for an error related to the release of incorrect amounts of cumulative translation adjustments (“CTA”) into earnings upon the disposition of subsidiaries. This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of our combined consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and January 1, 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in material misstatements of the annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
We are in the process of implementing measures designed to improve our internal controls over financial reporting and to remediate the control deficiency that resulted in the material weakness, including performing a risk-assessment process on a regular basis to identify, design, implement and re-evaluate our control activities related to internal control over financial reporting. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, and the actions we may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to our material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting or that they will prevent potential future material weaknesses. In addition, neither our management nor an independent registered public accounting firm has performed an evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act because no such evaluation has been previously required. Had we or our independent registered public accounting firm performed an
52

TABLE OF CONTENTS
evaluation of our internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, additional material weaknesses may have been identified. If we are unable to successfully remediate our existing material weakness, or identify and remediate any future, material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected, and consequently we may be unable to timely file periodic reports in compliance with securities laws and applicable stock exchange listing requirements, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and our share price may decline as a result.
Upon becoming a registered public company and as we continue with our activities related to the testing of internal controls, we may identify further internal control issues.
As part of our preparation in connection with this offering, we began a more comprehensive review of our internal controls in order to comply with U.S. law requirements, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. This review includes an assessment of the design and effectiveness of our internal control environment under the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission framework. We believe that this process will provide consistency in evaluations and verification of the appropriateness and completeness of our activities. We will regularly monitor and report on our review of internal controls to executive officers, our board of directors, our external auditors and to the market, if additional material weaknesses are identified.
As a foreign private issuer we will not be immediately required to comply with attestation reports. However, we intend to evaluate our internal controls over financial reporting in order to allow management to report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, our internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, which we refer to as Section 404. The process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments. During the course of our testing, we may identify deficiencies of which we are not currently aware.
If we fail to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment, we could suffer material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements and fail to meet our reporting obligations, which would likely cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. This could in turn limit our access to capital markets and lead to a decline in the trading price of our common shares.
If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, our independent auditors (when we become subject to Section 404(b)) are unable to provide us with an unqualified report as required by Section 404, or we are required to restate our financial statements, we may fail to meet our public reporting obligations and investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common shares.
Our exemption as a “foreign private issuer” from certain rules under the U.S. securities laws will result in less information about us being available to investors than for U.S. companies, which may result in our common shares being less attractive to investors.
As a “foreign private issuer” in the United States, we are exempt from certain rules under the U.S. securities laws and are permitted to file less information with the SEC than U.S. companies. As a “foreign private issuer,” we are exempt from certain rules under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of our common shares. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as companies that are not “foreign private issuers” whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required to comply with Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to information they deem important, which may result in our common shares being less attractive to investors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
We will incur increased costs as a result of being a publicly-traded company.
As a publicly-traded company, we will incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, SEC and NYSE rules impose various requirements on public companies, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect these rules and regulations to make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified people to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers.
Our ability to pay dividends will be affected by restrictions under Luxembourg law.
Our articles of association and the Luxembourg law of August 10, 1915, on commercial companies as amended from time to time ( loi du 10 août 1915 sur les sociétés commerciales telle que modifiée ), require a general shareholders meeting to approve any dividend distribution except as set forth below.
Our ability to declare dividends under Luxembourg corporate law is subject to the availability of distributable earnings or available reserves, including share premium. Moreover, we may not be able to declare and pay dividends more frequently than annually. As permitted by Luxembourg corporate law, our articles of association authorize the declaration of dividends more frequently than annually by the board of directors in the form of interim dividends so long as the amount of such interim dividends does not exceed total net profits made since the end of the last financial year for which the annual accounts have been approved, plus any profits carried forward and sums drawn from reserves available for this purpose, less the aggregate of the prior year’s accumulated losses, the amounts to be set aside for the reserves required by law or by our articles of association for the prior year, and the estimated tax due on such earnings.
We are a holding company and depend on the ability of our subsidiaries to distribute funds to us in order to satisfy our financial obligations and to make dividend payments, which they may not be able to do.
We are a holding company and our subsidiaries conduct all of our operations. We have no relevant assets other than the equity interests in our subsidiaries. As a result, our ability to make dividend payments depends on our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. The ability of a subsidiary to make these distributions could be affected by covenants included in most of the concession agreements in which we act as concessionaires, such as the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the Uruguayan Concession Agreements, the Armenian Concession Agreement, the Italian Concession Agreements and the Brazilian Concession Agreements, or by the financing agreements we have entered into, or by the law of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation. See “Description of Indebtedness.” If we are unable to obtain funds from our subsidiaries, we will be unable to distribute dividends. We do not intend to seek to obtain funds from other sources to pay dividends.
Our shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests than they would as shareholders of a U.S. corporation, which could adversely impact trading in our common shares and our ability to conduct equity financings.
Our corporate affairs are governed by our articles of association and the laws of Luxembourg, including the laws governing stock companies (société anonyme). The rights of our shareholders and the responsibilities of our directors and officers under Luxembourg law are different from those applicable to a corporation incorporated in the United States. In addition, Luxembourg law governing the securities of Luxembourg companies may not be as extensive as those in effect in the United States, and Luxembourg law and regulations in respect of corporate governance matters may not be as protective of minority shareholders as state corporation laws in the United States. Therefore, our shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in connection with actions taken by our directors and officers or our principal shareholders than they would as shareholders of a corporation incorporated in the United States.
54

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Neither our articles of association nor Luxembourg law provides for appraisal rights for dissenting shareholders in certain extraordinary corporate transactions that may otherwise be available to shareholders under certain U.S. state laws. As a result of these differences, our shareholders may have more difficulty protecting their interests than they would as shareholders of a U.S. issuer.
Holders of our common shares may not be able to exercise their pre-emptive subscription rights and may suffer dilution of their shareholding in the event of future common share issuances.
Under Luxembourg law, our shareholders benefit from a pre-emptive subscription right on the issuance of common shares for cash consideration. However, shareholders may, at a general shareholders’ meeting and in accordance with Luxembourg law and our articles of association, waive or suppress and authorize the board to waive, suppress or limit any shareholders’ pre-emptive subscription rights provided by Luxembourg law to the extent the board deems such waiver, suppression or limitation advisable for any issuance or issuances of common shares within the scope of our authorized share capital prior to the pricing for a period of up to five years following the publication of the deed granting such authorization on the Luxembourg Recueil Electronique des Sociétés et Associations (“RESA”) which period may be renewed. Such common shares may be issued above, at or below market value as well as by way of incorporation of available reserves (including premium). In addition, a shareholder may not be able to exercise the shareholder’s pre-emptive right on a timely basis or at all, unless the shareholder complies with Luxembourg corporate law and applicable laws in the jurisdiction in which the shareholder is resident, particularly in the United States. As a result, the shareholding of such shareholders may be materially diluted in the event common shares are issued in the future. Moreover, in the case of an increase in capital by a contribution in kind, no pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders exist.
We are organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and it may be difficult for you to obtain or enforce judgments or bring original actions against us or our executive officers and directors in the United States.
We are organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The majority of our assets are located outside the United States. Furthermore, the majority of our directors and officers and some experts named in this prospectus reside outside the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. Investors may not be able to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons or to enforce judgments obtained against us or these persons in U.S. courts, including judgments in actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Likewise, it may also be difficult for an investor to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against us or these persons in courts located in jurisdictions outside the United States, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. It may also be difficult for an investor to bring an original action in a Luxembourg court predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us or these persons. Furthermore, Luxembourg law does not recognize a shareholder’s right to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, except in limited cases. Minority shareholders holding securities entitled to vote at the general meeting and holding at least 10.0% of the voting rights of the company may bring an action against the directors on behalf of the company. Minority shareholders holding at least 10.0% of the voting rights of the company may also ask the directors questions in writing concerning acts of management of the company or one of its subsidiaries, and if the company fails to answer these questions within one month, these shareholders may apply to the Luxembourg courts to appoint one or more experts instructed to submit a report on these acts of management.
As there is no treaty in force on the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters between the United States and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, courts in Luxembourg will not automatically recognize and enforce a final judgment rendered by a U.S. court. A valid judgment in civil or commercial matters obtained from a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States may be entered and enforced through a court of competent jurisdiction in Luxembourg, subject to compliance with the enforcement procedures (exequatur). The enforceability in Luxembourg courts of judgments rendered by U.S. courts will be subject prior any enforcement in Luxembourg to the procedure and the conditions set forth in the Luxembourg procedural code, which conditions may include the following as of the date of this prospectus (which may change):
55

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the judgment of the U.S. court is final and enforceable (exécutoire) in the United States;

the U.S. court had jurisdiction over the subject matter leading to the judgment (that is, its jurisdiction was in compliance both with Luxembourg private international law rules and with the applicable domestic U.S. federal or state jurisdictional rules);

the U.S. court has applied to the dispute the substantive law that would have been applied by Luxembourg courts;

the judgment was granted following proceedings where the counterparty had the opportunity to appear and, if it appeared, to present a defense, and the decision of the foreign court must not have been obtained by fraud, but in compliance with the rights of the defendant;

the U.S. court has acted in accordance with its own procedural laws;

the judgment of the U.S. court does not contravene Luxembourg international public policy; and

the U.S. court proceedings were not of a criminal or tax nature.
We intend to amend our articles of association and to enter into separate indemnification agreements in order to indemnify our directors for and hold them harmless against all claims, actions, suits or proceedings brought against them, subject to limited exceptions. The rights and obligations among or between us and any of our current or former directors and officers will be generally governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and subject to the jurisdiction of the Luxembourg courts, unless such rights or obligations do not relate to or arise out of their capacities listed above. Although there is doubt as to whether U.S. courts would enforce such provision in an action brought in the United States under U.S. federal or state securities laws, such provision could make enforcing judgments obtained outside Luxembourg more difficult to enforce against our assets in Luxembourg or jurisdictions that would apply Luxembourg law.
Luxembourg insolvency laws may offer our shareholders less protection than they would have under U.S. insolvency laws.
As a company organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and with its registered office in Luxembourg, we are subject to Luxembourg insolvency laws in the event any insolvency proceedings are initiated against us including, among other things, Council Regulation (EC) No. 2015/848 of May 20, 2015, on insolvency proceedings. Should courts in another European country determine that the insolvency laws of that country apply to us in accordance with and subject to such EU regulations, the courts in that country could have jurisdiction over the insolvency proceedings initiated against us. Insolvency laws in Luxembourg or the relevant other European country, if any, may offer our shareholders less protection than they would have under U.S. insolvency laws and make it more difficult for them to recover the amount they could expect to recover in a liquidation under U.S. insolvency laws.
Holders generally will be subject to a 15.0% withholding tax on payment of dividend distributions made on the common shares under current Luxembourg tax law.
Under current Luxembourg tax law, payments of dividends made on the common shares generally are subject to a 15.0% Luxembourg withholding tax. Certain exemptions or reductions in the withholding tax may apply, but it will be up to the holders to claim any available refunds from the Luxembourg tax authority. For more information on the taxation implications, see “Taxation—Luxembourg Tax Considerations.”
We are subject to complex tax rules in various jurisdictions, and our interpretation and application of these rules may differ from those of relevant tax authorities, which could result in a liability to material additional taxes, interest and penalties.
We operate in a number of territories, and will accordingly be subject to tax in several jurisdictions. The tax rules to which the Company and its subsidiaries are subject are complex, and we must make judgements (including based on external advice) as to the interpretation and application of these rules. Our tax affairs will in the ordinary course be reviewed by tax authorities. Those tax authorities may disagree with our
56

TABLE OF CONTENTS
interpretation and/or application of relevant tax rules. A challenge by a tax authority in these circumstances might require us to incur costs in connection with litigation against the relevant tax authority or reaching a settlement with the tax authority and, if the tax authority’s challenge is successful, could result in additional taxes (perhaps together with interest and penalties) being assessed on us, and as a result an increase in the amount of tax payable by us.
Additionally, dividends and other intra-group payments made by our subsidiaries may be subject to withholding taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which the entity making the payment is organized or tax resident. Unless such taxes are fully creditable or refundable, dividends and other intra-group payments may increase the amount of tax paid by us. Although the Company and its subsidiaries arrange themselves and their affairs with a view to minimizing the incurrence of such taxes, there can be no assurance that we will succeed.

Use of Proceeds
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately U.S.$      million, or approximately U.S.$      million if the underwriters exercise their option to buy additional common shares in full, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. Each U.S.$1.00 increase (decrease) in the public offering price per common share would increase (decrease) our net proceeds, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, by U.S.$      million (assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to buy additional common shares).
We intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for (i) the repayment of approximately U.S.$54.3 million of indebtedness owed to related parties, and (ii) general corporate purposes, including funding the equity portion of our capital expenditure programs in existing concessions and acquiring new or existing concessions.
The related-party indebtedness we intend to repay consists of the following:

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Dividend Policy
The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common shares will be at the discretion of the annual shareholders meeting and/or our board of directors, in case of interim dividend distributions, and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, distributable profits, legal requirements, restrictions in our debt agreements and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. In addition, as a holding company, our ability to pay dividends depends on our receipt of cash dividends from our operating subsidiaries, which may further restrict our ability to pay dividends as a result of the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization, agreements of our subsidiaries or covenants under any present or future indebtedness that we or they may incur. For further information regarding the restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends, see “Risk Factors—Our ability to pay dividends will be affected by restrictions under Luxembourg law,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Description of Indebtedness.”
In addition, under Luxembourg law, at least 5.0% of our net profits per year must be allocated to the creation of a legal reserve until such reserve has reached an amount equal to 10.0% of our issued share capital. If the legal reserve subsequently falls below 10.0% of our issued share capital, 5.0% of net profits again must be allocated toward the reserve until such reserve returns to 10.0% of our issued share capital. If the legal reserve exceeds 10.0% of our issued share capital, the legal reserve may be reduced. The legal reserve is not available for distribution.

Dilution
If you invest in our common shares, you will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the pro forma net tangible book value per common share immediately after giving effect to the completion of this offering. Starting net book value per share is calculated based on the number of common shares expected to be issued and outstanding following this offering, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional common shares.
At September 30, 2017, we had a pro forma net tangible book value per share of U.S.$         , corresponding to a pro forma net tangible book value of U.S.$         , which is based on net tangible book value of U.S.$          divided by          , the number of common shares issued and expected to be outstanding following this offering.
After giving effect to: (i) the issue and sale by us and the Selling Shareholder of common shares in this offering, (ii) the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and (iii) U.S.$         , our pro forma net tangible book value estimated as of September 30, 2017, would have been approximately U.S.$         , representing U.S.$          per common share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of U.S.$          per common share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of U.S.$          per common share to investors purchasing shares in this offering.
The following table illustrates dilution to investors purchasing common shares in this offering:

Exchange Rates
Most of the currencies in which we operate in the different jurisdictions in which we operate airports, have been historically volatile and have been devalued frequently. Local governments have implemented various economic plans and used various exchange controls, exchange rate policies, dual exchange rate markets and a floating exchange rate system.
In Argentina, the Public Emergency Law, which has been annually extended and is in effect until December 31, 2017, granted the Argentine Government the power to set the exchange rate between the peso and foreign currencies and to issue regulations related to the foreign exchange market. However, most of the foreign exchange restrictions and restrictions on transfer of funds into and out of Argentina that had been enacted since 2011 were lifted by the Macri administration in December 2015, May 2016 and August 2016.
A significant portion of our operating income is exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations. We are primarily exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rates among the U.S. dollar, the Argentine peso, the euro, the Brazilian real, the Uruguayan peso, the Armenian dram and the Peruvian sol. The following table sets forth the annual high, low, average and period-end exchange rates for the periods indicated.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Selected Consolidated Financial Information
The following selected consolidated financial information and other data of the Company should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified by reference to, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” our Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. We are a newly-incorporated company and have not previously prepared or presented any consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the deemed transition date to IFRS as issued by the IASB, is January 1, 2015. Our subsidiaries were under the common control of SCF and their consolidated financial statements have been retroactively combined and presented as one company in our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements.
The selected combined consolidated financial information as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is derived from our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this prospectus and should be read in conjunction with those Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto. The selected consolidated financial information as of September 30, 2017, and for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, are derived from our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
We prepare our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. We have applied all IFRS issued by the IASB effective at the time of preparing our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements. We applied IFRS for the first time for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, which included comparative information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The opening IFRS statement of financial position was prepared as of our transition date of January 1, 2015. See Note 2 to our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements for the details of our transition to IFRS and application of IFRS 1.
We prepare our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting principles used in the preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements. Our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with them.
Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017, or any other future period.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Information
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information has been derived by the application of pro forma adjustments to our historical combined consolidated financial information, which have been presented to give effect to the disposition of Corporación América Europa (the “Disposition”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of income of A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l. and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2016 are presented as if the Disposition had occurred on January 1, 2016.
Our historical financial information was derived from our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and January 1, 2015, and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l.’s historical restated financial statements used in preparing the unaudited pro forma financial data should be read in conjunction with its historical restated financial statements and risk factors, all of which are included elsewhere herein.
The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on estimates, available information and certain assumptions that A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l. believes are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma adjustments and primary assumptions are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of income are being provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what our results of operations would have been if the Disposition had occurred on the date indicated and are not intended to project our results of operations for any future period. Any of the factors underlying these estimates and assumptions may change or prove to be materially different and the estimates and assumptions may not be representative of facts that exist upon completion of the Disposition.
You should read the information contained in this section in conjunction with the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with “Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Information” and “Selected Consolidated Financial Information.”
Overview
We acquire, develop and operate airport concessions. We are the largest private sector airport concession operator in the world based on the number of airports under management and the ninth largest private sector airport operator in the world based on passenger traffic. Currently, we operate 51 airports globally in Latin America, Europe and Eurasia. Since 1998, when we acquired the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we have expanded the environments and geographies in which we operate airports by acquiring concessions in Armenia, Uruguay, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Italy and additional concessions in Argentina.
We operate some of the largest and most important airports in the countries where we are present, including a large international airport, such as Ezeiza Airport in Argentina, domestic airports such as Brasilia Airport in Brazil and Aeroparque Airport in Argentina, airports in tourist destinations such as Bariloche and Iguazu in Argentina, Galapagos Ecological Airport in Ecuador and Florence Airport in Italy, as well as mid-sized domestic and tourist destination airports.
In our largest and longest established market, Argentina, we operate and manage 36 of the 55 airports in the national airport system, including the country’s two largest airports, Ezeiza and Aeroparque. In each year since we acquired the rights under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, our airports in Argentina handled over 90.0% of Argentina’s total passenger traffic.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we had total consolidated revenue of U.S.$1.2 billion, consolidated income from continuing operations of U.S.$72.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of U.S.$354.7 million, and our airports handled 637,288 total aircraft movements and served 57.1 million total passengers (of which approximately 35.9% were international, approximately 53.4% were domestic and approximately 10.6% were transit passengers). For the year ended December 31, 2016, we had total combined consolidated revenue of U.S.$1.4 billion, combined consolidated income from continuing operations of U.S.$38.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of U.S.$427.2 million, and our airports handled 836,354 total aircraft movements and served 71.8 million total passengers (of which approximately 34.2% were international, approximately 52.8% were domestic and approximately 13.0% were transit passengers).
First time application of IFRS
We have not previously prepared or presented any combined consolidated financial statements in accordance with any generally accepted accounting principles. Our deemed transition date to IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and its interpretations is January 1, 2015. The principles and requirements for first time adoption of IFRS are set out in IFRS 1 “First Time Adoption of IFRS” (“IFRS 1”). We have not availed ourselves of any of the exemptions from full retrospective application of IFRS set forth in IFRS 1 except for the one related to the cumulative translation differences exemption that we have elected to set the previously accumulated translation to zero at January 1, 2015. This exemption has been applied to all subsidiaries in accordance with IFRS 1.
We have applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for the annual reporting period beginning on January 1, 2015:

Clarification of acceptable of methods of depreciation and amortization—Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38;

Annual improvement to IFRS 2012-2014 cycle; and

Disclosure initiative—amendments to IAS 1.
For further discussion of the presentation of our financial information, see “Presentation of Financial and Certain Other Information.”

Non-IFRS Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure defined as net income from continuing operations before financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. For more information on Adjusted Segment EBITDA, see “Presentation of Financial and Certain Other Information—Adjusted Segment EBITDA.”
Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under IFRS and has important limitations as an analytical tool. You should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

excludes certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

does not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;

does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and

does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements, necessary to service our debt.
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA enhances an investor’s understanding of our performance. We believe this measure is a useful metric for investors to assess our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We present Adjusted EBITDA in order to provide supplemental information that we consider relevant for the readers of our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, and such information is not meant to replace or supersede IFRS measures.
In addition, our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods, capital structure or income taxes. We exclude the items listed above from income from continuing operations in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, combined consolidated net income from continuing operations as determined in accordance with IFRS or as an indicator of our operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We have included reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to combined consolidated net income from continuing operations for all the periods presented. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to combined consolidated net income from continuing operations, see “Selected Combined Consolidated Financial Information.”
Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
A number of factors have a significant impact on our business and results of operations, the most important of which are regulations, passenger traffic levels and air traffic operations, fluctuations in exchange rates in the currencies in which we operate, and our capital investment plans.
Regulations
Fees for aeronautical services are established under the terms of the relevant concession agreement, and the regulatory framework of the governmental authority in each jurisdiction where we operate. Our concession agreements establish or otherwise regulate the rates that we may charge to aircraft operators and passengers for aeronautical services, including fees for landing and transit of aircraft, departing passenger fees, and fees for aircraft parking. Some of our concession agreements also allow us to charge additional fees to
74

TABLE OF CONTENTS
passengers for services such as security and reduced mobility assistance, among others. These fees are invoiced to users of our airport infrastructure, principally airlines using our airports, either from their general revenue or as collected directly from airline passengers.
Passenger Traffic Levels and Air Traffic Operations
A significant portion of our revenue depends directly or indirectly on the level of passenger traffic at our airports and the number of aircraft movements (takeoffs and landings) conducted in the airports we operate. Aeronautical revenue within our airports is directly dependent on aircraft movements. In addition, our commercial revenues depend significantly on the number of passengers passing through terminals, as well as on the nature of the traffic. For example, international passenger traffic generates more commercial revenue than domestic traffic.
From 2015 to 2016, air traffic increased 1.1% in terms of number of passengers, decreased 4.0% in terms of aircraft movements and increased 2.6% in terms of cargo volume handled.
Fluctuations in Exchanges Rates in the Currencies in which We Operate
Our primary foreign currency exposure gives rise to market risks associated with exchange rate movements of the Argentine peso, the Brazilian real, the euro, the Uruguayan peso and the Armenian dram against the U.S. dollar; and the Euro against the Armenian dram. See “—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk—Exchange Rate Risk.”
Our Capital Investment Plans
We believe that we have identified transformative growth opportunities at our Brasilia, Ezeiza and Florence Airports. At our Brasilia Airport, we are in the final development planning stages of a significant expansion of the terminal to accommodate additional commercial area, which will include retail stores, entertainment, a food court, upscale restaurants and services. In addition, at Ezeiza Airport, we are developing a project for the terminal area that includes new passenger buildings, apron expansions and a new ground access and parking. The arrivals and departures terminals will accommodate extensive commercial areas, including duty free shops, retail stores, entertainment, restaurants and coffee shops and several other services. In partnership with the Italian Government, we have developed an investment plan for Florence Airport to invest approximately U.S.$351.1 million in capital expenditures for intangible assets during the period from 2017 until 2022. See “Summary—Our Strategy—Maximize revenue growth in existing concessions through capital expenditure programs.”
Our Segments
We have identified seven reportable segments: Argentina, Italy, Brazil, Uruguay, Ecuador, Armenia and Peru. See Note 4 to our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements and “Presentation of Financial and Certain Other Information—Adjusted Segment EBITDA.”
Our Associates
AAP is an associate corporation which was incorporated in 2010, 50.0% owned by CAAP and 50.0% owned by Andino Investment Holding (a private Peruvian logistics conglomerate). We record our 50.0% ownership interest in the shareholders’ equity of AAP in “Investments in associates” and we account for the results of operations of AAP using the equity method as “share of loss in associates.”
Under the terms of the concession agreement for the operation of the Galapagos Airport (the “Galapagos Concession Agreement”), the net profits generated by ECOGAL must be transferred entirely to the Dirección General de Aviación Civil. Because we are not entitled to receive dividends from the operations of ECOGAL, we record our percentage ownership interest in the shareholders’ equity of ECOGAL in “Investments in associates” and we account for our results of operations for ECOGAL under the equity method as “share of loss in associates.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Certain of the operational information provided below with respect to passenger composition, cargo volume and aircraft movements includes results of AAP and ECOGAL. Revenue and expense information on a per segment basis for Ecuador includes the results of TAGSA, but does not include the results of ECOGAL.
Factor Affecting Comparability—The Brazilian Consolidation
We accounted for the assets, liabilities and results of operations of ICASGA and Inframerica using the equity method until December 11, 2015, and December 30, 2015, which are the dates on which we obtained control of each company, respectively. As from such dates, we consolidated ICASGA’s and Inframerica’s assets, liabilities and results of operations with our own. Accordingly, our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 are not comparable to our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Our Passenger Traffic, Cargo Volume and Aircraft Movements
Our revenue is highly dependent on levels of air traffic. Passenger traffic in our airports is composed of international, domestic and transit passengers. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2017, approximately 53.4% and 52.8%, respectively, of the passengers were domestic passengers, approximately 35.9% and 34.2%, respectively, of our passengers were international passengers, and approximately 10.6% and 13.0%, respectively, of our passengers were transit passengers. The majority of our aircraft movements consist of commercial airline traffic, which drives a substantial portion of our passenger traffic. General aviation, which includes private jets, is the second largest category of aircraft movements, but does not significantly contribute to passenger traffic. Cargo is generally transported through commercial aircraft movements, and to a lesser extent, through cargo flights. The principal factor affecting our cargo volume is macroeconomic conditions in the local and regional markets. The following table sets forth certain statistical data relating to our total passenger traffic, cargo volume and aircraft movements for the periods indicated:

Aeronautical Revenue
Aeronautical revenue is derived from the use of our airport facilities by aircrafts and passengers.
Our concession agreements establish or otherwise regulate the rates that we may charge to aircraft operators and passengers for aeronautical services. We charge each departing passenger a fee for the use of our airports which varies depending upon whether the passenger’s flight is an international, regional or domestic flight, and whether the passenger is in transit. Some of our concession agreements also allow us to charge additional fees to passengers for services such as security and reduced mobility assistance, among others. We charge our aeronautical customers fees for aircraft landing and parking, which depend on whether the flight is international or domestic, the maximum take-off weight of the aircraft, the time slot and take-off time, among other factors. International fees are generally higher than domestic or transit fees. For a discussion of the determination of our fee structures under our concession agreements, see “Regulatory and Concessions Framework.”

As a result, we define all expenditures associated with investments required by the concession agreements as revenue generating activities given that they ultimately provide future benefits, and subsequent improvements and upgrades made to the concession are recognized as intangible assets based on the principles of IFRIC 12. Additionally, compliance with the committed investments per the concession agreements is mandatory, as well as the fulfillment of the maximum tariff and therefore, in case of a failure to meet any one of these obligations, we could be subject to sanctions and our concessions could be revoked.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Therefore, we recognize revenue and the associated costs of improvements to concession assets in relation with the concessions’ obligations to perform improvements as established in the respective concession agreements. Revenue represents the value of the exchange between ourselves and the respective governmental authorities with respect to the improvements, given that we construct or provide improvements to the airports as obligated under the respective concession agreements, and in exchange, the governmental authorities grant us the right to obtain benefits for services provided using those assets, which are recognized as intangible assets. We recognize the revenue and expense in profit or loss when the expenditures are performed. The cost for such additions and improvements to concession assets is based on actual costs incurred by us in the execution of the additions or improvements, considering the investment requirements in the concession agreements. Through bidding processes, we contract third parties to carry out such construction or improvement services. The amount of revenues for these services is equal to the amount of costs incurred plus a reasonable margin, which is estimated at an average of 3.0% to 5.0%. The amounts paid are set at market value.
Other Revenue
Other revenue includes revenue that is not otherwise classified as aeronautical revenue, commercial revenue or construction service revenue.

Results of Operations
Nine‑month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine‑month period ended September 30, 2016
Revenue from Continuing Operations
Our revenue was U.S.$1,158.5 million for the nine‑month period ended September 30, 2017, a 18.0% increase from the U.S.$981.9 million recorded for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. This increase in revenue of U.S.$176.7 million was principally due to the increase of U.S.$136.0 million in revenue from our operations in Argentina and an increase of U.S.$14.6 million in revenue from our operations in Armenia.
Aeronautical revenue was U.S.$575.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, an 16.0% increase from the U.S.$495.6 million recorded for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. The increase in aeronautical revenue of U.S.$79.5 million was principally due to (i) an increase of U.S.$56.3 million in Argentina as a result of an increase in passenger traffic and (ii) an increase in Armenia of U.S.$6.2 million as a result of the increase in passenger traffic.
Commercial revenue was U.S.$409.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, a 6.8% increase from the U.S.$383.7 million recorded for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. This increase of U.S.$26.0 million was principally due to an increase in Argentina of U.S.$11.4 million and an increase of U.S.$8.5 million in Armenia as a result of an increase in passenger traffic.
Construction service revenue was U.S.$172.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, a 73.4% increase from the U.S.$99.4 million recorded for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. This increase of U.S.$72.9 million was principally due to an increase of U.S.$68.3 million in Argentina as a result of the increase in capital expenditures.
Other revenue was U.S.$1.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, a 58.2% decrease from the U.S.$3.2 million recorded for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.
The sum of the revenues reported for each of our segments equals the total amount of consolidated revenues as per the statement of income.
Argentina
Revenue from our Argentina segment was U.S.$729.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, a 22.9% or U.S.$136.0 million increase as compared to U.S.$593.7 million for the nine- month period ended September 30, 2016. This increase in revenue was derived from a U.S.$56.3 million increase in aeronautical revenue from U.S.$262.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to U.S.$318.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, and a U.S.$11.4 million increase in commercial revenue from U.S.$238.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to U.S.$249.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, in both cases due to an increase in passenger traffic. Additionally, construction service revenue increased U.S.$68.3 million from U.S.$93.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to U.S.$161.6 million for the nine- month period ended September 30, 2017, as a result of the increase in capital expenditures in Argentina.
Italy
Revenue from our Italy segment was U.S.$116.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, an 8.5% or U.S.$9.2 million increase as compared to U.S.$107.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. This increase in revenue was derived from a U.S.$4.5 million increase in construction service revenue from U.S.$4.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to U.S.$8.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, due to the increase in capital expenditures, and an increase in aeronautical revenue of U.S.$4.6 million from U.S.$77.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to U.S.$82.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to the increase in passenger traffic.

This increase in revenue was derived from a U.S.$6.2 million increase in aeronautical revenue from U.S.$28.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to U.S.$34.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, and the U.S.$8.5 million increase in commercial revenue from U.S.$23.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to U.S.$32.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to the increase in passenger traffic.
Ecuador
Revenue from our Ecuador segment was U.S.$64.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, a 0.7% or U.S.$0.5 million increase as compared to U.S.$64.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.
Unallocated
Our unallocated revenue comprised a non-significant amount of commercial revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
Cost of Services from Continuing Operations
Cost of services increased 25.9% to U.S.$749.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to U.S.$595.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. This increase in cost of services of U.S.$154.1 million was primarily due to an increase in cost of services in Argentina of U.S.$123.4 million as a result of increased concession fees due to increased passenger traffic, the cost of work under construction contracts and the greater impact of inflation as compared to devaluation.
The sum of the cost of services reported for each of our segments equals the total amount of consolidated cost of services as per the statement of income.
Argentina
Cost of services from our Argentina segment was U.S.$464.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, a 36.2% or U.S.$123.4 million increase as compared to U.S.$341.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. This increase in cost of services was primarily due to an increase in concession fees as a result of increased passenger traffic, the cost of work under construction contracts and the greater impact of inflation as compared to devaluation.
Depreciation and amortization included in cost of services amounted to U.S.$24.1 million for the nine- month period ended September 30, 2017, a U.S.$8.3 million increase from U.S.$15.7 million for the nine- month period ended September 30, 2016. Such increase was primarily due to the increase of intangible assets.

Brazil
Selling, general and administrative expenses from our Brazil segment were U.S.$10.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, a 16.8% or U.S.$1.5 million increase as compared to a U.S.$8.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. This increase is related to an increase in bad debts.
In both periods there is no depreciation and amortization.
Uruguay
Selling, general and administrative expenses from our Uruguayan segment were U.S.$9.7 million for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2017, a 18.3% or U.S.$1.5 million increase as compared to U.S.$8.2 million for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2016.

Other Operating Income from Continuing Operations
Our operating income increased by 15.5% to U.S.$14.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to U.S.$12.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. The increase of U.S.$1.9 million was primarily due to an increase in other operating income in Argentina, which is attributable to the 2.5% of total revenue that is required to be allocated to a trust for investment commitments. See “—Specific Allocation of Revenue.”
Other Operating Expenses from Continuing Operations
Other operating expenses increased 9.2% to U.S.$3.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to U.S.$3.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. The increase of U.S.$0.3 million was primarily due to an increase of U.S.$2.2 million in other operating expenses in Brazil as a result of a decrease in intangibles, which was partially offset by a decrease of U.S.$1.7 million in other operating expenses in Armenia as a result of a decrease in donations and penalties.
Operating Income from Continuing Operations
As a result of the foregoing, our operating income increased by 4.8% to U.S.$279.4 million for the nine- month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to U.S.$266.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.

Brazil
Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Brazil segment represented 2.2% and 4.7% of our total Adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Based on the factors explained above, our Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Brazil segment decreased 50.8% or U.S.$8.1 million, from U.S.$15.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to U.S.$7.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.
Uruguay
Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Uruguay segment represented 12.1% and 12.2% of our total Adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Based on the factors explained above, our Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Uruguay segment increased 4.6% or U.S.$1.9 million, from U.S.$40.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to U.S.$42.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.
Ecuador
Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Ecuador segment represented 5.6% and 6.2% of our total Adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Based on the factors explained above, our Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Ecuador segment decreased 5.2% or U.S.$1.1 million, from U.S.$21.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to U.S.$19.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.
Armenia
Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Armenia segment represented 8.9% and 5.9% of our total Adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Unallocated
Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our unallocated segment represented (0.3)% and (0.7)% of our total Adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Based on
91

TABLE OF CONTENTS
the factors explained above, our Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our unallocated segment increased 53.0% or U.S.$1.3 million, from U.S.$(2.4) million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 to U.S.$(1.1) million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.
The following discusses those items of the statement of income which are not allocated to any of our reportable segments.
Income before Financial Results and Income Tax from Continuing Operations
Our income before financial results and income tax increased by 2.8% to U.S.$273.6 million for the nine- month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to U.S.$266.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.
Financial Income from Continuing Operations
Our financial income increased 62.1% to U.S.$42.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to financial income of U.S.$26.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. This increase of U.S.$16.3 million in financial income was primarily due to an increase of U.S.$23.3 million in Argentina as a result of an increase in interest income generated by short-term investments of the proceeds from the AA2000 Notes and a decrease in interest of U.S.$6.3 million in our non-operating subsidiaries as a result of loan payables which were assigned to another company outside the group.
Financial Loss from Continuing Operations
Our financial loss decreased by 0.1% to U.S.$203.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to financial loss of U.S.$204.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. This decrease of U.S.$0.2 million in financial loss was primarily due to an increase of U.S.$14.2 million in Argentina as a result of the redemption premium paid for the early redemption of the 2020 senior secured notes, which was partially offset by a decrease of U.S.$12.2 million in Brazil as a result of the decrease in the adjustments of the fixed concession fee due to the reduction of the IPCA.
Income before Income Tax from Continuing Operations
As a result of the foregoing, our income before income tax increased by 27.0% to U.S.$112.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to U.S.$88.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.
Income Tax Expense from Continuing Operations
Income taxes were U.S.$39.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, a 3.1% increase from the U.S.$38.6 million recorded for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. This U.S.$1.2 million increase is primarily due to a decrease of U.S.$1.3 million in Argentina as a result of the net effect of the decrease in the loss of current tax and the increase in the loss related to deferred tax and an increase of U.S.$1.8 million in Brazil as a result of a reduction in the gain of deferred tax.
Income from Continuing Operations
As a result of the foregoing factors, our income from continuing operations increased U.S.$22.7 million, or 45.5%, to U.S.$72.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to income from continuing operations of U.S.$49.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.
Net Income
Taking into account our income for continuing operations and our income (loss) from discontinued operations, our net income increased U.S.$31.4 million, or 76.1%, to U.S.$72.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to income of U.S.$41.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.

Results of Operations
2016 Compared to 2015
Revenue from Continuing Operations
Our revenue was U.S.$1,366.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 15.1% increase from the U.S.$1,187.1 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase in revenue of U.S.$179.2 million was principally due to the Brazilian Consolidation in 2016 which contributed U.S.$126.2 million. Excluding the impact of the Brazilian Consolidation, the increase in revenues amounted to U.S.$53.0 million, primarily attributable to an increase of U.S.$57.0 million in revenue from our operations in Argentina, which was partially offset by a decrease of U.S.$11.3 million in revenue from our operations in Italy, primarily attributable to the depreciation of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar.
Aeronautical revenue was U.S.$673.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 24.0% increase from the U.S.$543.2 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in aeronautical revenue of U.S.$130.3 million was principally due to the Brazilian Consolidation in 2016, which contributed U.S.$60.1 million. Excluding the impact of the Brazilian Consolidation, the increase in aeronautical revenues amounted to U.S.$70.2 million, primarily attributable to an increase of U.S.$56.2 million of aeronautical revenue in Argentina. The increase in aeronautical revenue in Argentina was primarily due to increases in international passenger use fees under the AA2000 Concession, and to a lesser extent, an increase in passenger traffic. The devaluation of the Argentine peso in December 2015 had a negative impact on our aeronautical revenue as expressed in U.S. dollars for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Commercial revenue was U.S.$522.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 13.6% increase from the U.S.$459.7 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase of U.S.$62.5 million was principally due to the Brazilian Consolidation in 2016, which contributed U.S.$65.2 million of commercial revenue in 2016. Excluding the impact of the Brazilian Consolidation, there was a decrease in commercial revenues amounting to U.S.$2.7 million. Such decrease was primarily due to a slight decrease in commercial revenues in Argentina.
Construction service revenue was U.S.$165.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 7.5% decrease from the U.S.$178.4 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2015. This decrease of U.S.$13.4 million was principally due to a lower amount of capital expenditures in the year ended December 31, 2016.
Other revenue was U.S.$5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 2.8% decrease from the U.S.$5.7 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The sum of the revenues reported for each of our segments equals the total amount of consolidated revenues as per the statement of income.
Argentina
Revenue from our Argentina segment was U.S.$840.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 7.3% or U.S.$57.0 million increase as compared to U.S.$783.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase in revenues was mainly derived from a U.S.$56.2 million increase in aeronautical revenue from U.S.$309.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$366.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Such increase was primarily due to increases in international passenger use fees and, to a lesser extent, an increase in passenger traffic. In addition, the devaluation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar had a negative impact in our aeronautical revenue as expressed in U.S. dollars for the year ended December 31, 2015. Commercial and construction service revenue from our Argentina segment slightly varied year over year.
Italy
Revenue from our Italy segment was U.S.$141.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 7.4% or U.S.$11.3 million decrease as compared to U.S.$152.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This decrease in revenue was mainly derived from a U.S.$13.4 million decrease in construction service revenue from U.S.$21.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Such decrease was primarily due to lower capital expenditures.

Brazil
Revenue from our Brazil segment was U.S.$127.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a U.S.$126.2 million increase as compared to U.S.$0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase is due to the Brazilian Consolidation in 2016 and thus is not comparable year over year.
Uruguay
Revenue from our Uruguay segment was U.S.$97.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 5.0% or U.S.$4.7 million increase as compared to U.S.$93.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase in revenue was mainly derived from a U.S.$4.2 million increase in aeronautical revenue from U.S.$43.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$47.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Such increase was primarily due to an increase in passenger traffic.
Ecuador
Revenue from our Ecuador segment was U.S.$85.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 8.0% or U.S.$6.3 million increase as compared to U.S.$79.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase in revenue was mainly derived from a U.S.$4.6 million increase in aeronautical revenue from U.S.$57.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$61.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Such increase was primarily due to an increase in passenger traffic.
Armenia
Revenue from our Armenia segment was U.S.$73.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 2.0% or U.S.$1.5 million decrease as compared to U.S.$74.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This decrease in revenue was mainly derived from a U.S.$3.2 million decrease in construction service revenue from U.S.$3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, due to less capital expenditures, offset by a U.S.$2.5 million increase in aeronautical revenue from U.S.$35.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$38.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Unallocated
Our unallocated revenue was composed of an insignificant amount of commercial revenue for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Cost of Services from Continuing Operations
Cost of services increased 13.2% to U.S.$859.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to U.S.$759.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase in cost of services of U.S.$99.9 million was primarily due to the Brazilian Consolidation in 2016, which contributed U.S.$109.1 million. Excluding the impact of the Brazilian Consolidation, cost of services decreased by U.S.$9.2 million, primarily attributable to a decrease in cost of services in Italy of U.S.$14.9 million, mainly due to a decrease in construction service cost as a consequence of less capital expenditure.
The sum of the cost of services reported for each of our segments equals the total amount of consolidated cost of services as per the statement of income.
Argentina
Cost of services from our Argentina segment was U.S.$500.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a slight 0.1% or U.S.$0.6 million increase as compared to U.S.$499.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Depreciation and amortization included in cost of services was U.S.$22.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 5.1% or U.S.$1.1 million increase from U.S.$21.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

This decrease in cost of services was mainly due to a decrease in construction service cost as a consequence of less capital expenditure.
Depreciation and amortization included in cost of services was U.S.$5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 2.7% or U.S.$0.2 million increase from U.S.$5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Brazil
Cost of services from our Brazil segment was U.S.$110.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a U.S.$109.1 million increase as compared to U.S.$0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase is due to the Brazilian Consolidation in 2016 and thus is not comparable year over year.
Depreciation and amortization included in cost of services was U.S.$16.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 7.5% or U.S.$16.5 million increase from U.S.$0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, resulting from the Brazilian Consolidation.
Uruguay
Cost of services from our Uruguay segment was U.S.$46.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 7.0% or U.S.$3.1 million increase as compared to U.S.$43.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase in cost of services was mainly due to an increase in maintenance expenses.
Depreciation and amortization included in cost of services was U.S.$11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 3.6% or U.S.$0.4 million increase from U.S.$11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Ecuador
Cost of services from our Ecuador segment was U.S.$49.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 5.0% or U.S.$2.3 million increase as compared to U.S.$46.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase in cost of services was mainly due to an increase in concession fees and salaries and social security contribution.
Depreciation and amortization included in cost of services was U.S.$7.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, which was the same amount of depreciation and amortization included in cost of services for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Armenia
Cost of services from our Armenia segment was U.S.$43.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 13.7% or U.S.$6.8 million decrease as compared to U.S.$49.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This decrease in cost of services was mainly due to a decrease in maintenance expenses and cost of fuel.
Depreciation and amortization included in cost of services was U.S.$11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, which was the same amount of depreciation and amortization included in cost of services for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Unallocated
Unallocated cost of services increased U.S.$6.6 million from U.S.$7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, mainly due to amortization of the difference between the book value and the fair value of the net assets acquired in Brazil.
Depreciation and amortization included in cost of services was U.S.$14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of 88.3% or U.S.$6.6 million from U.S.$7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Gross Profit from Continuing Operations
Based on the above mentioned factors, our gross profit increased by 18.5% to U.S.$507.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to U.S.$427.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses from Continuing Operations
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 2.2% to U.S.$170.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to U.S.$167.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase of U.S.$3.6 million was primarily due to the Brazilian Consolidation in 2016, which contributed an additional U.S.$12.6 million. Excluding the impact of the Brazilian Consolidation, selling, general and administrative expenses declined by U.S.$9.0 million. Such decrease was primarily due to decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses of U.S.$2.9 million from our operations in Argentina, primarily as a result of the depreciation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar, and a decrease of U.S.$4.0 million in our non-operating subsidiaries.
The sum of the selling, general and administrative expenses reported for each of our segments equals the total amount of consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as per the statement of income.
Argentina
Selling, general and administrative expenses from our Argentina segment were U.S.$85.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 3.3% or U.S.$2.9 million decrease as compared to U.S.$88.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses resulted from the depreciation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar.
Depreciation and amortization included in selling, general and administrative expenses was U.S.$0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of 24.0% or U.S.$0.1 million from U.S.$0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Italy
Selling, general and administrative expenses from our Italy segment were U.S.$27.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 0.1% increase as compared to U.S.$27.2 million from the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase is due to an increase in bad debt.
Depreciation and amortization included in selling, general and administrative expenses was U.S.$3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of 7.8% or U.S.$0.3 million from U.S.$3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Brazil
Selling, general and administrative expenses from our Brazil segment, excluding amortization and depreciation, were U.S.$12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a U.S.$ 12.6 million increase as compared to a de minimis amount for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase is due to the Brazilian Consolidation in 2016 and thus is not comparable year over year.
There was no depreciation and amortization included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016.
Uruguay
Selling, general and administrative expenses from our Uruguayan segment were U.S.$9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 18.0% or U.S.$2.0 million decrease as compared to U.S.$11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase is due to the variation of exchange rate.
Depreciation and amortization included in selling, general and administrative expenses was U.S.$0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, which was the same amount of depreciation and amortization included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015.

There was no amount of depreciation and amortization included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016.
Armenia
Selling, general and administrative expenses from our Armenia segment were U.S.$11.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 10.1% or U.S.$1.0 million increase as compared to U.S.$10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, mainly due to an increase in taxes.
There was no depreciation and amortization included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016.
Unallocated
Unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 25.5% from U.S.$15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, mainly due to the impact on CASA of the depreciation of the Argentinian peso.
Depreciation and amortization included in selling, general and administrative expenses was U.S.$2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of 2.9% or U.S.$0.1 million from U.S.$2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Impairment Loss from Continuing Operations
In the year ended December 31, 2016, we recorded an impairment loss of U.S.$16.6 million in Brazil as a result of the write down of the value of the Natal Concession Agreement. See also Note 12 to our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other Operating Income from Continuing Operations
Our operating income increased by 8.8% to U.S.$16.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to U.S.$15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The increase of U.S.$1.4 million was primarily due to an increase in other operating income in Argentina for which a significant portion is attributable to the 2.5% of total revenue that is required to be allocated to a trust for investment commitments for the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement. See “—The AA2000 Concession Agreement—Specific Allocation of Revenue.”
Other Operating Expenses from Continuing Operations
Other operating expenses increased 83.8% to U.S.$4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to U.S.$2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase of U.S.$2.2 million was primarily due to the increase of U.S.$1.3 million in Armenia of donations and penalties.
Operating Income from Continuing Operations
As a result of the foregoing, our operating income increased by 21.3% to U.S.$331.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to U.S.$273.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Share of Loss in Associates from Continuing Operations
Our share of loss in associated companies decreased 98.1% to U.S.$1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to U.S.$69.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease of U.S.$68.0 million reflects the fact that during the year ended December 31, 2015, we incurred losses in our Brazilian operations, which at the time (i.e., prior to the Brazilian Consolidation) were accounted for using

the equity method, primarily due to the changes in concession liability attributable to Inframerica, which includes a financial cost derived from the accounting of the concession fee and an impairment loss related to ICASGA. See also Note 24(b) to our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements.
Adjusted EBITDA
We evaluate the performance of each of our segments based on Adjusted Segment EBITDA which is defined, with respect to each segment, as income from continuing operations before financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization for such segment. See “Presentation of Financial and Certain Other Information—Adjusted Segment EBITDA.”
Therefore, each segment’s Adjusted EBITDA measure equals the segment’s operating income plus the segment’s share of losses in associates plus the segment’s depreciation and amortization included in each segment’s cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses, as further discussed in the respective sections above.
The sum of each segment’s Adjusted EBITDA equals the total consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. See “Presentation of Financial and Certain Other Information—Non-IFRS Information—Adjusted EBITDA.”
Argentina
Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Argentina segment represented 68.8% and 84.3% of our total Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Argentina segment increased 26.1% or U.S.$60.9 million, from U.S.$233.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$294.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Italy
Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Italy segment represented 6.4% and 9.3% of our total Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Based on the factors explained above, our Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Italy segment increased 6.4% or U.S.$1.7 million, from U.S.$25.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$27.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Brazil
Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Brazil segment represented 0.9% and (26.0%) of our total Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Based on the factors explained above, our Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Brazil segment increased 105.4% or U.S.$75.7 million, from U.S.$(71.8) million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$ 3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. This increase is due to the Brazilian Consolidation in 2016 and thus is not comparable year over year.
Uruguay
Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Uruguay segment represented 12.6% and 18.0% of our total Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Based on the factors explained above, our Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Uruguay segment increased 7.9% or U.S.$3.9 million, from U.S.$49.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$53.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Ecuador
Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Ecuador segment represented 6.5% and 8.4% of our total Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Based on the factors explained above, our Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Ecuador segment increased 21.0% or U.S.$4.9 million, from U.S.$23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$28.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Armenia
Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Armenia segment represented 6.6% and 9.1% of our total Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Based on the factors explained above, our Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our Armenia segment increased 11.1% or U.S.$2.8 million, from U.S.$25.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$28.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Unallocated
Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our unallocated segment represented (1.7)% and (3.4)% of our total Adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Based on the factors explained above, our Adjusted Segment EBITDA from our unallocated segment increased 23.5% or U.S.$2.0 million, from U.S.$(9.5) million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to U.S.$(7.5) million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
The following discussion relates to those items of the statement of income which are not allocated to any of our reportable segments.
Income before Financial Results and Income Tax from Continuing Operations
Our income before financial results and income tax increased by 61.8% to U.S.$330.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to U.S.$204.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Financial Income from Continuing Operations
Our financial income decreased 19.8% to U.S.$37.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to financial income of U.S.$46.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This decrease of U.S.$9.3 million in financial income was primarily due to a decrease in interest income and in net foreign exchange transactions results of U.S.$11.5 million in the unallocated companies, partially offset by an increase of U.S.$4.1 million due to the Brazilian Consolidation.
Financial Loss from Continuing Operations
Our financial loss increased by 36.6% to U.S.$273.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to financial loss of U.S.$199.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase of U.S.$73.1 million in financial loss was primarily due to a U.S.$105.4 million adjustment to the value of the concession fees payable under the Brazilian Concessions, and an increase of interest expense of U.S.$49.0 million, resulting from increased levels of indebtedness in 2016, primarily resulting from the Brazilian Consolidation. See “Regulatory and Concessions Framework—Brazil.” These increases were offset by a decrease of U.S.$80.3 million in net foreign exchange losses resulting primarily from the devaluation of the Argentine peso in 2015.
Income before Income Tax from Continuing Operations
As a result of the foregoing, our income before income tax increased by 85.4% to U.S.$95.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to U.S.$51.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Income Tax Expense from Continuing Operations
Income taxes were U.S.$56.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 25.3% increase from the U.S.$45.0 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2015. This U.S.$11.4 million increase is primarily due to an increase in income tax in Argentina of U.S.$55.5 million, which is partially offset by a decrease of U.S.$39.2 million in income tax as a result of the losses attributable to our Brazil segment and a decrease of U.S.$4.6 million in income tax in our non-operating subsidiaries. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded a financial loss of U.S.$158.7 million in Argentina, which primarily reflected losses due to foreign exchange losses during that period, resulting in reduced income taxes for such year. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we did not experience such foreign exchange losses in Argentina, which resulted in higher income taxes for such year.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Income from Continuing Operations
As a result of the foregoing factors, our income from continuing operations increased U.S.$32.4 million, or 514.2% to U.S.$38.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to income from continuing operations of U.S.$6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Excluding the effects of the Brazilian Consolidation, our net income from continuing operations would have increased U.S.$80.6 million to U.S.$160.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to income from continuing operations of U.S.$79.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.
(Loss)/Income from Discontinued Operations
(Loss)/Income from discontinued operations represents income that we had received, or losses we have incurred, in non-airport related businesses we disposed of during the periods presented. See Notes 1 and 31 to our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements. We incurred a loss from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 in the amount of U.S.$(9.5) million, as compared to income of U.S.$109.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, in both cases due to our corporate reorganization process, during which we sold our equity interests in Helport S.A. and Latin Exploration and its subsidiary Compañía General de Combustibles S.A., in 2015, as well as our equity interests in Helport do Brasil S.A. and Hidroaconcagua S.A. in 2016. The income in 2015 was primarily attributable to the gain derived from the disposition of Latin Exploration at a selling price above the book value as of the disposition date. The loss in 2016 was primarily due to the loss that Hidroaconcagua S.A. incurred as a consequence of the assignment of certain rights related to the generation, transportation and transmission of electricity, and the reclassification of cumulative translation adjustments related to the disposed businesses (mainly Hidroaconcagua S.A. and Helport do Brasil S.A.). Because our corporate reorganization is complete, we do not expect to have any material income (loss) from discontinued operations in future periods.
Net Income
Taking into account our income from continuing operations and our income (loss) from discontinued operations, our net income decreased U.S.$86.1 million, or 74.6%, to U.S.$29.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to income of U.S.$115.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Excluding the effects of the Brazilian Consolidation and our income (loss) from discontinued operations, our net income would have increased U.S.$80.6 million to U.S.$160.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to income of U.S.$79.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Capital Expenditures by Segment
Argentina
Under the terms of our AA2000 Concession Agreement, AA2000 is required to make capital expenditures in accordance with an investment plan. The investment plan was designed to satisfy the requirements of the National Airport System in Argentina and to comply with international operating standards, while taking into account expected increases of passengers and cargo over the life of the concession. The ORSNA reviews and approves our capital expenditures and monitors our compliance with our investment plan.
With respect to the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we are required to present an investment plan to the ORSNA every five years. The investments contemplated by each five-year plan will be directed, in all cases, to cover operating needs, capacity and demand increases, and international quality and safety standards compliance within our airports. If the ORSNA provides comments to the investment plan that we propose, we are required to modify the investment plan to incorporate such comments, or otherwise be in breach of the AA2000 Concession Agreement. In addition, the ORSNA will specify the rules governing the authorization of any construction we undertake under such concession agreement.
In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we spent U.S.$162.1 million on capital expenditures in Argentina, primarily for the remodeling of the Hall B and the runway at the Ezeiza Airport, the finalizing of the new parking building at the Aeroparque Airport and the extension of the runway at Tucumán Airport. In the year ended December 31, 2016, we spent U.S.$155.0 million on capital expenditures in Argentina, primarily for finalizing the remodeling of the terminal building at the Mendoza airport, together with the construction of a new runway, a new control tower and a parking building at the Aeroparque Airport, and to begin the construction of a new terminal building at the Comodoro Rivadavia airport. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we spent U.S.$100.8 million on capital expenditures in Argentina, primarily for the remodeling of the terminal building at the Cordoba airport, the construction of new buildings at the Aeroparque Airport and the remodeling of the terminal building at the Mendoza airport.
During the next five years, AA2000 expects to incur additional optional capital expenditures in the amount of approximately U.S.$1.1 billion in the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement. The amounts to be expended each year will be jointly agreed and determined by AA2000 and the governmental authority on an annual basis.
Italy
Under the terms of our Italian Concession Agreements, TA is required to present a long-term master plan for each individual airport. The master plan projections (including traffic, operating expenses, investment commitments, etc.) are used by ENAC to determine airport tariffs, and are revised every four years. Once approved by ENAC, the investment commitments in the master plan become binding obligations under the terms of the respective concession.
On November 3, 2015, we received the technical approval by ENAC of our 2014-2029 master plan for Florence Airport, and on December 3, 2016, the Ministry of Environment, after conducting an environmental impact assessment ( Valutazione di Impatto Ambientale ), approved such master plan. Once the ministerial decree regarding the environmental impact assessment is signed, the urban planning assessment procedure will commence.
In April 2015, ENAC approved, from a technical perspective, our 2015-2028 master plan for Pisa Airport. TA, through ENAC, has initiated the urban planning compliance procedure with the Ministry of Transport, after which all the works envisaged in the master plan will be considered compliant in terms of urban planning, approved and non-deferrable.
In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, TA spent U.S.$9.6 million on intangible assets and U.S.$2.8 million in property, plant and equipment, respectively. Intangible works focused primarily on terminal investments in the Florence Airport and security investments in the Pisa Airport. Property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) investments focused primarily on machines and vehicles. In the year ended December 31, 2016, TA spent U.S.$9.0 million and U.S.$3.1 million on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, respectively. Intangible works focused primarily on the existing terminal to improve
101

TABLE OF CONTENTS
passenger flow, boarding area and offices, and air side works. PPE investments focused on handling equipment and other miscellaneous items. In the year ended December 31, 2015, we spent U.S.$21.3 million and U.S.$3.6 million, on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, respectively. Most of the intangible investments were related to air side improvements in the Pisa Airport and the update of the master plan in the Florence Airport. PPE investments were mostly due to the relocations costs of Borgo Cariola in the Pisa Airport.
During the next five years, TA expects to incur additional capital expenditures for both intangible assets and PPE in the amount of U.S.$227.1 million in the Florence and Pisa airports, all of which at this stage are optional expenditures, but will become binding obligations once the Pisa Airport and Florence Airport master plans are formally approved.
Brazil
Under the terms of our Brasilia Concession Agreement, ICAB is required to present a master development program for approval by the Brazilian ANAC every five years. The Brazilian ANAC is the Brazilian Agency created in 2005 that integrates the Federal Public Administration and the Ministry of Transport, Ports and Civil Aviation in Brazil. The Brazilian ANAC is responsible for the regulation and inspection of civil aviation in Brazil, and is responsible for creating the standard model for carriers for airport infrastructure, and is the counterparty for the Brasilia Concession Agreement. The master development program (PGI– Plano do Gestão do Infraestructura ) includes planned investment (including capital expenditures and improvements) of the concession holder for the succeeding 5-year period.
We recently submitted our master development plan for the Brasilia Airport for the 2018 to 2022 period. The master development plan must set forth the investments necessary to comply with the dimension/​quality parameters established in the Brasilia Concession Agreement (considering the concessionaire’s projections on air traffic growth), as well as any optional investments proposed by ICAB. Once reviewed and approved by the Brazilian ANAC, the investments proposed in the plan become binding commitments under the terms of the Brasilia Concession Agreement. However, ICAB may reduce or otherwise modify any investment in such plan so long as such investment is not related to ICAB’s compliance with the dimension/quality parameters established in the Brasilia Concession Agreement.
During the next five years, ICAB expects to incur additional mandatory investments in the amount of R$157.0 million (U.S.$48.2 million) with respect to the Brasilia Airport. With respect to optional investments, ICAB may incur R$633.0 (U.S.$194.2 million) in connection with the expansion of the commercial area at the Brasilia Airport. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Other Principal Operations and Other Principal Markets in Which We Operate—Brazil—We may not be able to achieve our strategy to expand commercial activities at the Brasilia Airport.”
Pursuant to the Natal Concession Agreement, ICASGA is required to calculate certain operational metrics and submit such calculations to the Brazilian ANAC on a monthly basis, and such calculations are used to determine our additional investment requirements. We estimate that the existing infrastructure at the Natal Airport has the capacity to process more than 6 million passengers per year pursuant to the existing rules of the Natal Concession Agreement.
During the next five years, we do not anticipate that ICASGA will incur any material capital expenditures with respect to the Natal Airport, as it recently completed a R$10.0 million runway refurbishment during October 2017 and no further material capital expenditures are currently planned.
In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we spent U.S.$6.2 million on capital expenditures at the Brasilia Airport, primarily for investment in fixed and intangible assets. In the year ended December 31, 2016, we spent U.S.$14.8 million on capital expenditures at the Brasilia Airport, primarily for runway refurbishment, final installments of our EPC agreement and investment in the expansion of commercial areas. In the year ended December 31, 2015, we spent U.S.$12.1 million, primarily as part of our overall capital expenditure program at the Brasilia Airport.
In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we spent U.S.$2.9 million on capital expenditures at the Natal Airport, primarily for investment in fixed and intangible assets. In the year ended December 31,

Uruguay
Under the terms of the Carrasco Concession Agreement, the relevant concessionaire is required to present a revised master development program for approval by the Ministry of National Defense every five years. The master plan is to be prepared considering projections of passengers and cargo traffic growth and it does not need to include investment projections. The last master plan for Carrasco Airport was prepared in connection with the extension of the Carrasco Concession Agreement’s term, covered the period 2011-2033 and was approved by Decree 229/14. Every year, Puerta del Sur has to corroborate the projections made for the past year and with that information be able to update the master plan every five years.

Armenia
Under the terms of our Armenian Concession Agreement, AIA is required to present a master development plan for approval by the director of the General Department of Civil Aviation (“GDCA”) every five years. Each master development plan includes investment commitments (including capital expenditures and improvements) applicable to the concession holder for the succeeding five-year period. Once approved by the government, which requires approval by the Prime Minister, these commitments become binding obligations under the terms of the respective concession. Since 2003, the Armenian government has approved our master development plan for the Armenian Concession Agreement as periodically revised.
In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we spent U.S.$1.6 million on capital expenditures at the Zvartnots Airport, primarily for machinery, tools and office equipment.

Some of these investments are conditioned upon reaching certain passenger level thresholds.
Peru
On January 5, 2011, the MTC and the AAP entered into a concession agreement, pursuant to which the MTC granted AAP the concession for the operation, use and maintenance of the AAP Airports (“AAP Concession Agreement”). Under the terms of the AAP Concession Agreement, AAP is required to present a master development program, an equipment program, and an airside rehabilitation and improvement program for approval by the Peruvian Government acting through the Dirección General de Aviación Civil (“Peruvian DGAC”) and a favorable opinion of OSITRAN. The master development program includes investment commitments (including capital expenditures and improvements) applicable to the concession holder for the whole period of concession. Once approved by the Peruvian DGAC and OSITRAN, these commitments become binding obligations under the terms of the AAP Concession Agreement, and must be updated every five years.
We have submitted our set of development plans for the AAP Airports for the remaining period of the AAP Concession, and such development plans have yet to be approved by the Peruvian DGAC and OSITRAN, with the exception of the master development program.
In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we spent U.S.$2.7 million on capital expenditures primarily on works performed at the Ayacucho Airport runways. In the year ended December 31, 2016,

TABLE OF CONTENTS
AAP did not make any capital expenditures at its airports. In the year ended December 31, 2015, AAP spent U.S.$1.3 million primarily for the improvement of the operational capacity of the fire extinguishing service of the Ayacucho Airport.
During the next five years, AAP expects to incur additional capital expenditures in the amount of U.S.$135.7 million in the AAP Airports, of which U.S.$9.0 million are expenditures required by contract, and U.S.$126.7 million will be required by contract once the development plans are approved. The amounts to be invested each year will be jointly determined by AAP and the local authority on an annual basis and will be based on the number of passengers.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
As a holding company with no airport operations of our own, we are primarily dependent on dividends and distributions from our operating subsidiaries as a source of liquidity at the holding company level. Other sources of liquidity also include management fees received from certain subsidiaries.
Historically, we have covered most of its liquidity needs with cash flows generated by the operations of our subsidiaries, and through non-recourse debt issued at the subsidiary level secured by the assets of such subsidiary. Occasionally, we have made capital contributions directly into subsidiaries. Part of these capital contributions were required by the relevant concession agreements.
The primary use of our liquidity has been to fund operating expenses, our investment commitments under our concession agreements, to service our indebtedness and to make necessary capital expenditures to accommodate increases in total passengers and air traffic movements.
The financial condition and liquidity of our operating subsidiaries has been, and we expect will continue to be, influenced by a variety of factors, including:

our ability to generate cash flows from our operating activities;

our investment commitments under our investment plan under our concession agreements and additional capital expenditures we decide to make;

the level of our outstanding indebtedness and the interest that we are obligated to pay on our indebtedness, which affect our net financial expenses; and

prevailing domestic and international interest rates at the time we incur indebtedness, which affect our debt services requirements.
In most of our operating companies, our cash flow from operations and available cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses, investment commitments, service our debt obligations and make necessary capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. However, our ability to generate cash is subject to our performance, general economic conditions, requirements of our concession agreements, industry trends, and other factors.
In those operations where our cash and cash equivalents and operating cash flows are insufficient to fund our future activities and requirements, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity, or debt financing. If we issue equity securities in order to raise additional funds, substantial dilution to existing shareholders may occur. If we raise cash through the issuance of indebtedness, we may be subject to additional contractual restrictions on our business. We cannot assure you that we would be able to raise additional funds on favorable terms, or at all.
Indebtedness
For a description of the material terms of our indebtedness, see “Description of Indebtedness.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Restrictions on Distribution of Dividends by Certain Subsidiaries
The ability of our operating subsidiaries to pay dividends is subject to accounting, tax, debt covenant restrictions, foreign exchange policies in place from time to time in the various countries where we operate, among other restrictions. Given these restrictions, significant cash or cash equivalent balances may be held from time to time at our international operating subsidiaries.
In order for operating subsidiaries to pay dividends, they must have positive retained earnings and net income, and enough cash on their balance sheet to make the relevant dividend payments. Subsidiaries must also satisfy requirements under local law to set aside a portion of their net income in each year to legal reserves. Additionally, there will be a tax effect because dividends from certain subsidiaries are subject to taxes, as described below:
In accordance with Argentine, Italian and Uruguayan company law, our operating subsidiaries incorporated in Argentina, in Italy or in Uruguay, as the case may be, must set aside at least 5% of their net income (determined on the basis of their statutory accounts) in each year to legal reserves, until such reserves equal 20% of their respected issued share capital. As of December 31, 2016, required legal reserves at our Argentine operating subsidiaries amounted to an aggregate of U.S.$11.1 million, of which U.S.$6.9 million had been reserved as of such date. As of December 31, 2016, required legal reserves at our Italian subsidiaries amounted to an aggregate of approximately U.S.$6.5 million, of which U.S.$3.3 million had been reserved as of such date. As of December 31, 2016, required legal reserves at our Uruguayan subsidiaries amounted to an aggregate of U.S.$10.5 million, of which U.S.$6.5 million had been reserved as of such date.
Argentina Law No. 27,260, published on July 22, 2016 in the Argentine Government’s official gazette, eliminated the 10% withholding tax on distributions. Therefore, in general, distributions to our Luxembourg parent companies from our Argentine subsidiaries are not subject to Argentine withholding tax.
In accordance with Brazilian law, each of our subsidiaries incorporated in Brazil must allocate 5% of its net profit to form a legal reserve, which may not exceed 20% of its capital. Our Brazilian subsidiaries may refrain from allocating resources to the legal reserve during any fiscal year in which the balance of such reserve exceeds 30% of its capital. We have not formed a legal reserve in our Brazilian subsidiaries due to the lack of net profit in the applicable fiscal years.
According to the legal requirements of Armenia and AIA’s charter, AIA is required to create a minimum non-distributable reserve from its retained earnings of an amount equal to 15% of its share capital for the purposes of covering future losses. As of December 31, 2016, required minimum non-distributable reserves for AIA amounted to an aggregate of U.S.$8.1 million, which has been fully set aside as of such date.
In accordance with Ecuadorian law, TAGSA must set aside at least 10% of its net income for each year to a legal reserve, until such reserve equals 50% of its issued share capital. As of December 31, 2016, required legal reserves for TAGSA amounted to an aggregate of approximately U.S.$9.0 million, of which U.S.$7.6 million had been set aside as of such date.
In accordance with Peruvian law, our Peruvian associate must set aside at least 10% of its net income for each year to a legal reserve, until such reserve equals 20% of its issued share capital. As of December 31, 2016, required legal reserves at our Peruvian associate amounted to an aggregate of approximately U.S.$1.2 million. We have not set aside a legal reserve as of such date.
Some of these operating subsidiaries have debt outstanding that may impose restrictions on such operating subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends to their respective holding companies. See “Description of Indebtedness.”
These restrictions on the distributions of dividends do not materially impact our ability to meet our cash obligations at a holding company level.

Cash Flows
Nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016
Operating Activities
The net cash provided by operating activities was U.S.$59.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, a 57.9% or U.S.$82.1 million decrease as compared to U.S.$141.7 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. This decrease in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to the net effect of  (i) the increase in cash provided by operating activities due to the increase in passenger traffic, (ii) the increase of U.S.$68.4 million in capital expenditures principally in connection with infrastructure investments in Argentina and (iii) the increase of U.S.$75.0 million in income tax paid in 2016 in respect of 2015 which had been unusually low as a consequence of greater financial loss in 2015 due to a large devaluation of the Argentinian peso against the U.S. dollar.
Investing Activities
The net cash used in investing activities was U.S.$9.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, a 421.2% or U.S.$7.3 million increase as compared to U.S.$1.7 million in net cash used in investing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. This increase in the net cash used in investing activities, was primarily due to the U.S.$10.3 million in cash provided by the disposal in 2016 of discontinued operations principally related to the sale of Helport do Brasil S.A., America Lodging S.A. and CoronaTrading Corp.
Financing Activities
The net cash provided by financing activities was U.S.$97.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, a 195.0% or U.S.$199.0 million increase as compared to U.S.$102.0 million in net cash used in financing activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016. This increase in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to the net effect of  (i) the increase of U.S.$367.9 million in net proceeds from indebtedness principally due to the issuance of the AA2000 Notes, (ii) the increase of U.S.$124.0 million in loans paid due to the increase of U.S.$142.8 million in payments made in Argentina, (iii) the increase of U.S.$31.5 million in interest paid due to the increase of U.S.$13.7 million in payments made in Argentina and the increase of U.S.$19.4 million in payments made in Brazil and (iv) the decrease of U.S.$19.2 million in cash provided by cash contribution due to the decrease in contributions by the shareholder.
Years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
Operating Activities
The net cash provided by operating activities was U.S.$172.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 296.3% or U.S.$129.2 million increase as compared to U.S.$43.6 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to the net effect of  (i) the increase in cash provided by operating activities due to the increase in passenger traffic, (ii)  the increase of U.S.$42.3 million in capital expenditures principally in connection with infrastructure investments in Argentina and (iii) the decrease of U.S.$30.5 million in income tax paid in 2016 in respect of 2015 which had been unusually low as a consequence of greater financial loss in 2015 due to a large devaluation of the Argentinian peso against the U.S. dollar.
Investing Activities
The net cash provided by investing activities was U.S.$35.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 141.5% or U.S.$122.2 million increase as compared to U.S.$86.4 million in net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase in cash flows from investing activities was primarily due to the net effect of  (i) the decrease of U.S.$39.9 million in net cash from acquisition of subsidiaries resulting from the net effect in 2015 of the price paid for the acquisition of Brazilian companies
107

and the funds incorporated from the Brazilian Consolidation, (ii) the decrease of U.S.$56.3 million cash used in investing activities due to the contributions made by Brazilian companies in 2015 when they were associates and (iii) the decrease of U.S.$21.1 million in cash used in investing activities related to acquisitions of other financial assets, principally due to the constitution of a debt service reserve account in ACI Airports Sudamerica in 2015 amounting to U.S.$15.0 million and the decrease of U.S.$4.4 million in a time deposit in Ecuador, which was made in 2015.
Financing Activities
The net cash used in financing activities was U.S.$159.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, a 798.6% or U.S.$182.2 million increase as compared to U.S.$22.8 million in net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015. This decrease in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to the net effect of  (i) the decrease of U.S.$234.7 million in net proceeds from indebtedness principally due to issuance of A.C.I. Airport Sudamerica Notes in 2015, (ii) the decrease of U.S.$27.1 million in distribution of dividends to the shareholders, and (iii) an increase of U.S.$21.2 million in cash provided by cash contributions arising primarily from the increase in contributions by the shareholder.
Treasury policies, currencies of cash held, hedging and other miscellaneous items
We manage our cash needs on a decentralized basis, and manage our indebtedness to ensure compliance with any debt restrictions and limitations on dividends and distributions established in our debt agreements that include such restrictions. We do not currently enter into any hedging arrangements.
Off-Balance Sheet Commitments
Our off-balance sheet risk arises principally as a result of our contingent obligations to third-party guarantors that provide performance bonds, sureties and other guarantees that are required to secure the performance of our obligations under our concession agreements. For a discussion of the performance bonds, sureties and other guarantees provided in our concession agreements, please see the following sections of  “Regulatory and Concessions Framework”: “—The AA2000 Concession Agreement—Performance Guarantee and Guarantee for the Performance of the Works Foreseen in the AA2000 Concession Agreement,” “—Italy—The Pisa Concession Agreement—Guarantees,” “—Italy—The Florence Concession Agreement—Guarantees,” “—Brazil—The Brazilian Concession Agreement—Guarantees and Other Financial Commitments,” “—Uruguay—The Carrasco Concession Agreement—Guarantees,” “–Ecuador—Terminal Aeroportuaria de Guayaquil S.A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks arising from our normal business activities. These market risks principally involve the possibility that exchanges in exchange rates will adversely affect the value of our financial assets and liabilities, or future cash flows and earnings. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices.
Exchange Rate Risk
Our primary foreign currency exposure gives rise to market risks associated with exchange rate movements of the Argentine peso, the Brazilian real, the euro, the Uruguayan peso and the Armenian dram against the U.S. dollar; and the Euro against the Armenian dram. We have liabilities in U.S. dollars that are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Because we borrow in the international markets to support our operations and investments, we are exposed to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates.
As of December 31, 2016, our foreign currency-denominated borrowings amounted to an equivalent of U.S.$524.5 million, out of a total of U.S.$1,107.2 million, respectively. We do not hedge because a large percentage of our revenues are in U.S. dollars or linked to the U.S. dollar.
108

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Of our total revenue for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 and for the year ended December 31, 2016, a substantial amount was in U.S. dollars or was linked to the U.S. dollar because, for example, the revenues are calculated as a percentage of the total revenues of duty-free and other subconcessionaires generated in U.S. dollars.
Our revenues that are substantially linked to U.S. dollars are generated from the following aeronautical services: international and regional use fees, international aircraft landing charges and international aircraft parking charges. In addition, our revenues that are substantially linked to U.S. dollars are generated primarily from the following commercial services, subconcessionaires and customers: duty free royalties, fueling, handling and cargo.
We have significant monetary balances held by our subsidiaries at the end of each fiscal year that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of such subsidiaries. The following table sets forth a breakdown of our main monetary net assets and liabilities which may impact our profit and loss:

In addition, we have certain investments in foreign operations, whose net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. We do not enter into derivative financial instrument to cover foreign exchange risk. We manage foreign exchange risk by minimizing the net positions of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
The relevant exposure by currency pair is set forth below in thousands of U.S. dollars:
Euro—U.S. dollar: As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, consisting primarily of euro-denominated net monetary assets and liabilities at certain Uruguayan subsidiaries and Luxembourg entities in which the functional currency was the U.S. dollar. A change of 1.0% in the euro—U.S.$ exchange rate would have generated a pre-tax gain/loss of U.S.$2.8 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and U.S.$31.6 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Uruguayan peso—U.S. dollar: As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, consisting primarily of Uruguayan peso-denominated net monetary assets and liabilities at certain Uruguayan subsidiaries in which the functional currency was the U.S. dollar. A change of 1.0% in the URU$/U.S.$ exchange rate would have generated a pre-tax gain/loss of U.S.$18.5 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and U.S.$7.7 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Argentine peso—U.S. dollar: As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, consisting primarily of U.S. dollar- denominated net monetary assets and liabilities at certain Argentine subsidiaries in which the functional currency was the Argentine peso. A change of 1.0% in the AR$—U.S.$ exchange rate would have generated a pre-tax gain/loss of U.S.$1,312.8 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and U.S.$1,543.8 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Armenian dram—U.S. dollar: As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, consisting primarily of U.S. dollar-denominated net monetary assets and liabilities at the Armenian subsidiary in which the functional currency was the Armenian dram. A change of 1.0% in the drams—U.S.$ exchange rate would have generated a pre-tax gain/loss of U.S.$540.2 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and U.S.$554.2 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Euro—Armenian dram: As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, consisting primarily of euro-denominated net monetary assets and liabilities at the Armenian subsidiary in which the functional currency was the

Armenian dram. A change of 1.0% in the euro-Armenian dram exchange rate would have generated a pre-tax gain/loss of U.S.$474.7 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and U.S.$519.5 for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk arises from our financial borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose us to increases in interest expense when market interest rates increase, while the borrowings issued at a fixed rate expose us to fair value interest rate risk. We analyze our interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis, maintaining, pursuant to our general policy, most of our financial borrowings at a fixed rate.
We believe that a variation in the interest rates would not affect our results of operation since most of our consolidated financial and banking liabilities are tied to fixed interest rates.
The weighted average interest rate for our debt instruments denominated in Argentine pesos, euros and Brazilian reais was approximately 10.5% for the year ended December 31, 2016. Our total borrowings with a variable rate amount to U.S.$476.7 million (43.0% of total borrowings) in the aggregate at December 31, 2016 and to U.S.$391.5 million (36.0% of total borrowings) in the aggregate at December 31, 2015.
We estimate that, other factors being constant, a 10% increase in floating rates at year-end would decrease income before income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 by U.S.$3.8 million and U.S.$0.5 million, respectively. A 10% decrease in the floating interest rate would have an equal and opposite effect.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain or where judgments, assumptions and estimates are significant. Our management bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that it believes are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these judgments, assumptions and estimates are made. We continually evaluate our judgments, estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from the judgments, assumptions and estimates made by our management. To the extent that there are material differences between these judgments, assumptions and estimates (on the one hand) and actual results (on the other hand), our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows may be affected.
We have prepared our Audited Restated Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and interpretations issued by the Standing Interpretations Committee. The Audited Restated Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars. We have not previously prepared or presented any consolidated financial statements and therefore the deemed transition date to IFRS as issued by the IASB is January 1, 2015. The principles and requirements for the first time adoption of IFRS are set forth in IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of IRFS,” or IFRS 1.
At December 31, 2016, the restated financial statements of CAAP and its subsidiaries have been consolidated. For comparative purposes, the subsidiaries which were under the control of SCF have been retroactively combined with those of CAAP and presented as one company (CAAP) in the Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and as of the transition date of January 1, 2015.
We have accounted for our assets and liabilities incorporated during our corporate reorganization at the relevant predecessor’s cost, reflecting the carrying amount of such assets and liabilities contributed to us, taking into consideration that all of the shares transferred in connection with the corporate reorganization were under common control. Therefore, our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of the combined companies at historical book value on a carryover basis as though the contributions had occurred on January 1, 2015, and no adjustments had been made to reflect fair value at the time of such contribution.

Industry
The main characteristics of the industry in which we operate are the following:
The structure of the global airport industry continues to evolve
The global airport industry has benefited from long-term growth in passenger traffic, subject to occasional slowdowns. The growth has been the result of various factors, including:

Airline market deregulation . The trend of airline deregulation began in the late 1970’s in the United States, leading to increased market competition and passenger growth in certain regions of the world. The process, which removed pricing and route constraints, increased airline competition and lowered ticket costs for customers. In addition, the development of new airline business models, such as low-cost carriers and ultra-low-cost carriers, has made flying more accessible and affordable for segments of the population.

Technological advances in the air transport industry . The industry has seen significant developments in airport infrastructure as a result of advances in aircraft technology, increased runway capacity and longer operational hours. In addition to airport infrastructure, technological advancements have transformed the airline industry. For example, the development of electronic ticketing and online check-in has reduced the need for spacious departure halls and numerous ticket counters, allowing airport operators to dedicate more space to commercial activities. Finally, improved safety measures, both as a result of technology and process improvements, have decreased the number of accidents.

Macroeconomic environment . Air transport is closely tied to both economic growth and global trade. Economic growth can positively impact and economic contraction can negatively impact, several important variables that drive passenger growth (e.g., private consumption, employment and disposable income). Furthermore, an expansion in global trade increases the demand for cargo transportation, particularly for industries which require transport of time-sensitive commodities (e.g., pharmaceuticals, certain foods and high-fashion apparel) and/or high value items (e.g., electronics and automobile components).
Growth in Passenger Traffic
According to the International Air Transport Association’s (the “IATA”) 2017 Annual Review, industry-wide revenue passenger kilometers (“RPK”) grew 7.1% in 2016. Although this marked a slight slowdown from the 7.4% oil price-assisted growth seen in 2015, it was still a strong performance and well ahead of the 10-year average growth rate of 5.5%. More than 3.8 billion passengers flew in 2016, an increase of 250.0 million compared with 2015.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Airbus, in its Global Market Forecast for 2017-2036, notes that traffic has doubled every 15 years in the past three decades and expects it to double again by 2031. It estimates passenger traffic (measured by RPK) to grow 4.4% annually through 2036, largely driven by the consolidation of the airline industry in emerging markets. Approximately thirty percent of the population in emerging markets took at least one flight in 2016, a number that is expected to grow to 83.0% by 2036.
Traffic Doubles Every 15 Years
[MISSING IMAGE: T1702623_LINE-TRAFFIC.JPG]

Airports are direct beneficiaries from global traffic growth due to their exposure to traffic originating from multiple regions, especially from emerging markets. This diversification of traffic has enabled mature market airports to complement more moderate domestic and intra-European traffic growth with strong growth coming from emerging markets destinations such as Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Demand dynamics are different for various levels of a country’s economic development. Emerging market passengers have demonstrated that although air travel is a discretionary expenditure, it is one of the first discretionary items to be added as consumers join the global middle class. Their low but increasing propensity to fly, together with fast-growing economies, are key drivers to the growth in air traffic.
Airbus expects traffic between advanced countries to increase 2.5% annually while flights between advanced and emerging economies are expected to increase by 4.8% from 2017-2036. The strongest annual growth rate, 6.2%, is predicted for flights within and between emerging markets.
Based on strong population growth and strong economic development, air traffic over the next 20 years from Latin American, Middle Eastern and Asian airlines is expected to grow strongly at a compound annual growth rate of 4.1%, 6.7% and 5.6%, respectively. More modest growth rates in Europe and North America are reflective of weaker economic growth forecasts.
In its Current Market Outlook (2017-2036), Boeing forecasts average RPK growth of 4.7% per year over 20 years. Boeing expects traffic between the Middle East and Asia Pacific to increase by 6.4% a year, while traffic within the Asia-Pacific region is predicted to increase by 5.9%. Among flights from Latin America, those to Africa (7.2%) and Asia Pacific (6.7%) are expected to have the highest growth rates. Traffic within Europe (3.2%) and within North America (2.6%) is expected to grow below the overall trend.

Growth in Air Cargo Volume
Air cargo does not have a standard international definition. The International Civil Aviation Organization (“ICAO”) defines air cargo as merchandise transported for a fee, with the exception of mail, while IATA defines cargo as all goods including mail, with the exception of baggage. Air cargo is an essential part of the global trading system. In 2016, airlines transported 53.9 million metric tons of goods, representing about 35% of global trade by value. That is equivalent to $5.5 trillion worth of goods annually, or $15.3 billion worth of goods every day. Without air shipments, global supply chains could not function, and the availability of many time- and temperature-sensitive products, such as flowers, fruit and pharmaceuticals, would be restricted.
While growth has been inconsistent in recent years, overall global air cargo traffic has been increasing. Improving world industrial production and global trade have driven demand for air cargo services. Growth in 2016 was 3.6% and marked the fourth consecutive year of positive growth. According to Boeing’s Current Market Outlook (2017-2036), this trend has accelerated in 2017. The pricing differential between containership and air has returned to historic norms, making air cargo a more attractive option for shippers.
Global trade, however, remains weak. Whereas in prior years world trade often grew at approximately twice the pace of gross domestic product (GDP), according to the International Air Transport Association, trade volumes now grow broadly in line with global output. Nonetheless, demand continues for the speed and reliability benefits that air freight offers. Industries that require transport of time-sensitive and high-value commodities such as perishables, consumer electronics, high-fashion apparel, pharmaceuticals, industrial machinery and automobile components recognize the value of air freight, and this value will continue to play a significant role in their shipping decisions. The restructuring of logistics chains to serve the rapidly growing e-commerce industry also requires the unique capabilities that air cargo provides and offers an additional area of growth.

Increased Exposure of Airports to Low-Cost Carriers (“LCCs”) and Ultra-Low-Cost Carriers (“ULCCs”)
Boeing, in its Current Market Outlook (2017-2036), notes that average airfares have declined in the past 10 years at an average of 0.9% per year. The worldwide spread of LCCs and ULCCs has been instrumental in this trend. Additionally, the increase in point-to-point flights and flight frequencies has encouraged the stimulation of passenger demand.
LLC market penetration in emerging markets has increased significantly since 2006, providing nearly four times the amount of seats offered on domestic and intra-regional flights in Latin America in 2016 compared to 2006. Market penetration of LLCs has increased at an even higher rate during the past ten years in the Middle East (16.4x) and in Asia-Pacific (4.8x).
Since the original concept was first introduced in the 1970s, LCCs have become a more prominent global transportation method. As the LCC business model has expanded in different parts of the world, several unique business strategies optimized for LCC operations have been developed with a common value proposition: maximize profitability through cost reduction particularly in the short-haul segment. To accomplish this goal, LCCs have executed some of the following characteristic strategies:

short-haul, point-to-point flights, often with secondary airport operation;

single-aisle fleet standardization preference;

single-class, higher-density airplane preference;

higher utilization and quick turnaround;

lower yield but higher volume concept;

basic services and more ancillary revenue; and

limited lower-cost distribution outlets (now primarily internet).

More than 90% of the current LCC capacity resides in the short-haul segment. However, as market structures become more complex and consumer behaviors continue to evolve, hybrid and low-cost long-haul (“LCLH”) business models are emerging. LCCs are meeting passenger demands by extending more affordable travel to long-haul markets, while network carriers are responding with their own low-cost subsidiaries. Recent years have seen a substantial increase in LCC offerings from both short-haul LCCs and LCC subsidiaries of network carriers. Growth in the LCLH segment indicates that many price-sensitive passengers are eager for this type of offering.
Airport sector has proved to be resilient to external shocks
Air traffic continues to outperform global GDP, which we believe evidences a growing appreciation of the benefits of air travel, and an increased emphasis on discretionary travel as a part of internal consumption.
Over the past several decades, the aviation industry experienced recessions, oil price shocks, near-pandemics, wars and security threats, yet traffic continued to grow on average at 5.5% annually in terms of number of passengers according to World Bank data. External shocks have usually been followed by rebounds in air traffic, therefore continuing the long-term growth of the sector.
The following chart illustrates the evolution of traffic since 1970:

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The global air traffic industry faced the most severe crisis in its history between 2001 and 2003 following a series of dramatic international events: the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001, the war in Afghanistan, the SARS epidemic in Asia and the war in Iraq. Coinciding with a slowdown in world economic growth during the same period, the crisis triggered a major decline in air traffic. However, according to the IATA, in the years that followed, global air traffic recovered, with passenger numbers growing at a compound annual growth rate of 5.3% between 2005 and 2015, breaching the 3.0 billion passenger barrier in 2013.
The global financial crisis also produced a decline in traffic, starting in 2008, though it was less severe in relative terms than in previous crises. Air traffic has since then recovered, despite temporary and localized external shocks, such as the eruption of an Icelandic volcano that affected European air traffic growth in 2010, unrest in the Middle East and occasional severe weather conditions.
Air transport is central to tourism and international trade
Air transport plays a key role in facilitating tourism and its attendant industries and is vital to international trade. IATA, in its 2017 Annual Review, estimates that air travelers spent around $650.0 billion in 2016. The value of international trade shipped by air, meanwhile, was $5.5 trillion in 2016. Reduced air transport costs and improved connectivity have boosted trade flows.
Air Tourist Spending and Value of Trade Carried By Air
[MISSING IMAGE: T1702623_LINE-SPENDING.JPG]

Within the services sector of the global economy, consumer spending on travel and tourism continues to grow. According to the World Tourism Organization, international tourist arrivals grew 3.9% in 2016, faster than overall GDP growth. Like air passenger traffic, overall tourism has grown sustainably since the financial crisis, with 300 million more international tourists in 2016 compared to the pre-crisis record set in 2008. This trend is projected to continue with the direct contribution of tourism and travel to global GDP expected to grow 4% per year in real terms over the next 10 years, according to the World Tourism and Travel Council.

Business
Introduction
We acquire, develop and operate airport concessions. We are the largest private sector airport concession operator in the world based on the number of airports under management and the ninth largest private sector airport operator in the world based on passenger traffic. Currently, we operate 51 airports globally in Latin America, Europe and Eurasia. Since 1998, when we acquired the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we have expanded the environments and geographies in which we operate airports by acquiring concessions in Armenia, Uruguay, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Italy and additional concessions in Argentina.
We operate some of the largest and most important airports in the countries where we are present, including a large international airport, such as Ezeiza Airport in Argentina, domestic airports, such as Brasilia Airport in Brazil and Aeroparque Airport in Argentina, airports in tourist destinations, such as Bariloche and Iguazu in Argentina, Galapagos Ecological Airport in Ecuador and Florence Airport in Italy, as well as mid-sized domestic and tourist destination airports.
In our largest and longest established market, Argentina, we operate and manage 36 of the 55 airports in the national airport system, including the country’s two largest airports, Ezeiza and Aeroparque. In each year since we acquired the rights under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, our airports in Argentina handled over 90.0% of Argentina’s total passenger traffic.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we had total consolidated revenue of U.S.$1.2 billion, consolidated income from continuing operations of U.S.$72.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA of U.S.$354.7 million, and our airports handled 637,288 total aircraft movements and served 57.1 million total passengers (of which approximately 35.9% were international, approximately 53.4% were domestic and approximately 10.6% were transit passengers). For the year ended December 31, 2016, we had total combined consolidated revenue of U.S.$1.4 billion, combined consolidated income from continuing operations of U.S.$38.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA of U.S.$427.2 million, and our airports handled 836,354 total aircraft movements and served 71.8 million total passengers (of which approximately 34.2% were international, approximately 52.8% were domestic and approximately 13.0% were transit passengers).
Our Airports by Country in Which We Operate
Argentina
Our largest operations are in Argentina, where we operate a total of 36 of the 55 airports in the Argentine national airport system, including the two largest airports in Argentina, Ezeiza Airport and Aeroparque Airport.
Our airports are located in 22 of the 23 Argentine provinces and in the City of Buenos Aires and currently serve major metropolitan areas in several Argentine provinces (such as Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Mendoza) and the City of Buenos Aires, tourist destinations (such as Bariloche, Mar del Plata and Iguazú), regional centers (such as Córdoba, Santa Rosa, San Luis, San Juan, La Rioja, Santiago del Estero and Catamarca) and border province cities (such as Mendoza, Iguazú, Salta and Bariloche).
Of the 36 airports we operate in Argentina, 18 have been designated as “international airports” under applicable local law, meaning that they are or may potentially be equipped to receive international flights.

In Argentina, our main concession is the AA2000 Concession, which accounted for approximately 26.5 million passengers, or 46.4% of the total 57.1 million total passengers we served during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. Approximately 7.4 million of our passengers were at Ezeiza Airport and 10.2 million at Aeroparque Airport.
The airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement served 31.5 million passengers of the 32.6 million total passengers we served in the country during the year ended December 31, 2016. Approximately 9.8 million of our passengers were at Ezeiza Airport and 11.7 million at Aeroparque Airport.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement served 29.6 million of the 30.7 million passengers we served in the country, of which approximately 9.1 million were at Ezeiza Airport and 10.8 million at Aeroparque Airport. In our Argentina segment, AA2000 represented over 99.0% of our total revenues, 97.0% of our passengers and 95.0% of our air traffic movements in each of these periods.
In June 2011, Cedicor, the controlling shareholder of CASA, agreed to purchase from SEA 21,973,747 class A shares of AA2000, which represented 8.5% of AA2000’s ordinary capital and voting stock, and 2.5% of its capital stock on a fully-diluted basis (including the preferred shares). In addition, in July 2011, 2,197,375 Class B Shares of AA2000 which represented 0.85% of the ordinary capital and voting stock, and 0.25% of the capital stock of AA2000 on a fully-diluted basis (including the preferred shares), were transferred to Cedicor by Riva. These transactions are still subject to ORSNA authorization. See “Risk Factors—The ORSNA may reject the transactions whereby Cedicor S.A. acquired from Societa per Azioni Esercizi Aeroportuali and from Riva S.A.I.I.C.F.A. 8.5% and 0.85% of AA2000’s shares, respectively.”
The Argentine Government owns 15.0% of AA2000’s ordinary share capital and voting stock through its ownership of AA2000’s Class D common stock. In addition, the Argentine Government owns all of AA2000’s preferred shares. Beginning in 2020, the Argentine Government may convert up to 12.5% per year of its preferred shares into common shares. AA2000 has the option, but not the obligation, to redeem the preferred shares of AA2000 held by the Argentine Government in the same proportions over the same time period. If such preferred shares are not redeemed by AA2000, the Argentine Government may convert such preferred shares into ordinary shares of AA2000 at fair market value. The fair market value of each common share will be established based on the average traded value of the shares on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange during the five trading days prior to the notice of conversion delivered by the Argentine Government to AA2000. Should the shares not be trading on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange, the fair market value of the shares will be established by a third party appointed by the Argentine Government. AA2000 has no current plan to list its common shares on the Buenos Aires Stock Exchange. The Argentine Government may only convert such number of preferred shares as were not otherwise redeemed by AA2000 during such applicable year. As of the date of this Prospectus, there are 616,914,353 preferred shares of AA2000, nominal value of AR$1 each, outstanding.
We currently expect that AA2000 will exercise its annual options to redeem such preferred shares held by the Argentine Government, so that we may maintain our ownership percentage in AA2000. However, if AA2000 does not exercise such right and the Argentine Government exercises the conversion right, our proportional ownership of the common shares of AA2000 will be decreased. The actual impact on our proportional ownership of common shares of AA2000 depends upon the fair market value of AA2000 common shares at the time of the conversion. See “Regulatory and Concession Framework.”

Italy
In Italy, we operate and manage the Florence Airport and the Pisa Airport through our 51.1% share ownership of TA. TA is the result of the merger of Società Aeroporto Toscano (“SAT”), Galileo Galilei S.p.A. and Aeroporto di Firenze S.p.A. (“ADF”) on June 1, 2015, and is headquartered in Florence. As a result of the merger, Corporación América Italia S.p.A. (“CA Italy”), which is 100% owned by us, has a controlling stake of 51.1% of TA. SAT was incorporated in 1978 and commenced operations at the Pisa Airport in 1980. In 2006, SAT was officially awarded the concession to fully operate the Pisa Airport for 40 years. In 2003, ADF was officially awarded the concession to fully operate Florence Airport for 40 years. After the merger, TA became the owner and operator of both concessions.

Although for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the results of operations of the our associate ECOGAL are not consolidated, we have included 100% of operational information of ECOGAL, with respect to number of passengers and air traffic movements, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The revenue information for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 includes only the consolidated revenue of TAGSA, our other concession in the Ecuador segment.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, our Ecuador segment had Adjusted Segment EBITDA of U.S.$19.9 million, U.S.$28.0 million and U.S.$23.1 million, respectively.
We own 50.0% of TAGSA, which operates and maintains the Guayaquil Airport in the City of Guayaquil, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a concession agreement (“Guayaquil Concession Agreement”) among TAGSA, Autoridad Aeroportuaria de Guayaquil (“AAG”), and the M.I. Municipalidad de Guayaquil (“Municipality of Guayaquil”). The Guayaquil Concession Agreement is scheduled to expire in July 2024, as agreed in the third amendment to the Guayaquil Concession Agreement.
We own 99.9% of ECOGAL, which operates and maintains the Galapagos Airport located at the Galapagos Islands which is an Ecuadorian province located 605 miles west of the Ecuadorian coast, and

which were declared a National Park in 1959. The Galapagos Airport is located in the Baltra Island, within a short distance from Santa Cruz Island, which holds the most populous city of the province and the city with the best tourist infrastructure in the province (the city of Puerto Ayora). The duration of the Galapagos Concession Agreement is 15 years as from the compliance of the conditions precedent set forth therein; such conditions were satisfied on July 15, 2011.
The Galapagos Airport has been recognized as the first ecological and sustainable airport in the world by the U.S. Green Building Council. The airport terminal was entirely planned, designed and built taking into account its relationship with the surrounding environment to reduce its environmental impact. The terminal also received Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, GOLD level.
Additionally, on June 23, 2015, the Galapagos Airport received the Carbon Footprint Reduction accreditation from the Airport Carbon Accreditation program. The program, implemented by Airports Council International Europe, is aimed at evaluating and recognizing airports that make outstanding efforts to reduce and compensate for greenhouse gas emissions. The Galapagos Airport is the first airport in South America and the second one in Latin America to receive a carbon footprint reduction accreditation. Currently, we are working to obtain the next level of accreditation, Optimization which is the third level of the four possible accreditation levels.

Although for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the results of operations of the our associate AAP are not consolidated, we have included 100% of operational information of AAP with respect to number of passengers and air traffic movements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, our Peru segment had Adjusted Segment EBITDA of U.S.$(5.9) million, U.S.$(0.4) million and U.S.$0.8 million, respectively.
AAP is an associate corporation which was incorporated in 2010, 50.0% owned by CAAP and 50.0% owned by Andino Investment Holding (a private Peruvian logistics conglomerate). Pursuant to the by-laws of AAP, major corporate decisions, including the amendment of its by-laws, approval of corporate reorganizations and any increase or reduction of share capital, may be made only with the consent of all shareholders. The AAP Concession Agreement grants AAP the rights for the management and operation of the following six airports in southern Peru for a period of 25 years:

Rodriguez Ballón International Airport—Arequipa

Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendívil Duarte Airport—Ayacucho

Inca Manco Capac International Airport—Juliaca

Padre Almadiz International Airport—Puerto Maldonado

Coronel FAP Carlos Ciriani Santa Rosa International Airport—Tacna

Andahuaylas Airport—Apurimac
Although included under the AAP Concession Agreement, the Andahuaylas Airport is not currently, and has never been operated by AAP due to legal conflicts that the local government has with the tenants of the land where that airport is located.
Our airports currently serve major metropolitan areas in five southern Peruvian provinces: Arequipa, Puno, Ayacucho, Tacna and Puerto Maldonado. Of the five airports that we currently operate under the AAP Concession Agreement, four have been designated as international airports under Peruvian law, which means that they are or may potentially be equipped to receive international flights, although they mostly receive domestic flights.
Our Airports
Our strategically most important airports are described below:
Ezeiza Airport (EZE)
Ezeiza Airport is our largest airport in terms of contribution to revenue and Argentina’s second largest airport in terms of passenger traffic. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, Ezeiza Airport served 7.4 million total passengers, representing approximately 12.9% of our total passenger traffic. Of the total passengers, 91.5% were international, 6.6% were domestic and 2.0% were transit passengers.

traffic. Of the total passengers, 90.7% were international, 7.4% were domestic and 2.0% were transit passengers. In the year ended December 31, 2016, Ezeiza Airport accounted for 68,839 movements, which represented 8.2% of all air movements in the airports we operate.
A number of commercial airlines, including Aerolíneas Argentinas, Air Canada, Air France, Alitalia, American Airlines, British Airways, Delta Airlines, Lufthansa, LATAM Airlines Group and United Airlines, operate international flights to and from Ezeiza Airport.
Ezeiza Airport is located approximately 22 kilometers (13.7 miles) from downtown Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina. Approximately 3 million people live within the city itself and approximately 12 million people live within the city and its suburbs (the “Greater Buenos Aires Area”). The City of Buenos Aires is home to most of Argentina’s largest companies in a wide variety of industries, as well as several major universities. The Greater Buenos Aires Area represents one-third of the Argentine population and produces 40% of Argentina’s GDP.
Ezeiza Airport operates 24 hours a day. The total area of the airport’s premises is approximately 3,475 hectares (374.0 million square feet). The airport has two operating runways, one with a length of 3,300 meters (10,824 feet) and the other with a length of 3,105 meters (10,170 feet). The airport’s approximate runway capacity is 60 air traffic movements per hour. Ezeiza Airport has nine taxiways, which cover 526,300 square meters (5.7 million square feet), and two types of aprons (remote and operative), with an area of approximately 656,290 square meters (7.1 million square feet). The airport has three terminals, A, B and C, which cover an area of 103,000 square meters (1.1 million square feet). The parking lot is approximately 125,460 square meters (1.4 million square feet), with the capacity to accommodate 4,182 vehicles.
Aeroparque Airport (AEP)
Aeroparque Airport is Argentina’s largest airport in terms of passenger traffic. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, Aeroparque Airport served a total of 10.2 million passengers, which accounted for approximately 17.9% of all passengers served by our airports. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, Aeroparque Airport accounted for 99,764 total air traffic movements, which accounted for 15.7% of all air traffic movements in the airports we operate. During the year ended December 31, 2016, Aeroparque Airport served a total of 11.7 million passengers, which accounted for approximately 16.2% of all passengers served by our airports. In the year ended December 31, 2016, Aeroparque Airport accounted for 121,882 total air traffic movements, which accounted for 14.6% of all air traffic movements in 2016 in the airports we operate.
The principal airlines operating at Aeroparque Airport are Aerolíneas Argentinas, Austral–Cielos del Sur, LAN Airlines, LAN Argentina, TAM Linhas Aereas and VRG Linhas Aereas S.A. Aeroparque offers flights to all domestic airports and certain international routes to Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Bolivia and Peru. Beginning in 2018, Aeroparque Airport will offer domestic flights only (other than flights to Montevideo) and all international routes to be transferred from Aeroparque Airport to Ezeiza Airport.
Aeroparque Airport is located two kilometers (1.24 miles) from downtown Buenos Aires. Aeroparque Airport does not operate from 12:30 a.m. to 5:30 a.m. in compliance with ICAO regulations. Such regulations set forth restrictions on airports located within cities to minimize noise pollution. The total area of the airport premises is approximately 129.6 hectares (13.8 million square feet). The runway has a length of 2,100 meters (7,185 feet) and an approximate runway capacity of 57 air traffic movements per hour. The Aeroparque Airport has one taxiway which covers 71,495 square meters (769,565 square feet) and 207,650 square meters (2.2 million square feet) of remote and operative aprons. The airport’s terminal covers approximately 95,570 square meters (1.0 million square feet). The parking lot is 78,755 square meters (847,711 million square feet), with the capacity to accommodate 2,456 vehicles.
Florence Airport (FLR)
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, Florence Airport served a total of 2.1 million passengers, which accounted for approximately 3.6% of all passengers served by our airports. Florence Airport accounted for 27,790 total air traffic movements, which accounted for 4.4% of all air traffic movements in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. During the year ended December  31,
126

TABLE OF CONTENTS
2016, Florence Airport served a total of 2.5 million passengers, which accounted for approximately 3.5% of all passengers served by our airports. Florence Airport accounted for 35,645 total air traffic movements, which accounted for 4.3% of all air traffic movements in the year ended December 31, 2016 in the airports we operate.
Florence Airport is located near the city of Florence, Italy. The metropolitan area served by the Florence Airport has approximately one million inhabitants. The airport serves the tourist market in Florence, as well as the nearby industrial market. Even though some low-cost carriers operate in the airport, Florence Airport is mostly dedicated to full-cost carriers, such as Lufthansa, Alitalia and Air France. This premium service also correlates with the premium retail offerings at the airport.
In the last six years, the airport has seen an average 6.4% annual passenger growth rate. However, the airport is constrained by its current infrastructure. Florence Airport cannot service long-haul flights given the short length of its runway. Additionally, since the runway was built in the direction of the prevailing wind, Florence Airport has a relatively high number of flight cancellations due to adverse weather conditions. Since the merger of ADF with SAT, flights have been rerouted to Pisa Airport when possible to avoid passenger loss. Passengers can also be rerouted to Bologna Airport, if needed. Plans are underway to build a new terminal and runway. The new infrastructure should allow Florence Airport to reach its full potential and complement Pisa Airport’s offerings.
On November 3, 2015, we received the technical approval by ENAC of our 2014-2029 master plan for Florence Airport. The master plan is subject to the environmental impact assessment, which was approved by the Ministry of the Environment on December 3, 2016. The ministerial decree regarding the environmental impact assessment has yet to be executed. Once the environmental impact assessment procedure is completed, the urban planning assessment procedure will commence. For a discussion of the 2014-2029 Master Plan, please see “Regulatory and Concessions Framework.”
Pisa Airport (PSA)
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, Pisa Airport served a total of 4.2 million passengers, which accounted for approximately 7.3% of all passengers served by our airports. Pisa Airport accounted for 33,380 total air traffic movements, which accounted for 5.2% of all air traffic movements in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2016, Pisa Airport served a total of 5.0 million passengers, which accounted for approximately 7.0% of all passengers served by our airports. Pisa Airport accounted for 40,601 total air traffic movements, which accounted for 4.9% of all air traffic movements in the year ended December 31, 2016 in the airports we operate.
The Pisa Airport is located in the city of Pisa, Italy, and is one of the main entryways to the Toscana and Liguria regions of Italy. The Pisa Airport is easily accessible by train with a rail link to Pisa’s central train station and Florence’s Santa Maria Novella train station. There is a people mover under construction, which should further the connectivity of the airport and sustain the airport’s future growth.
Low-cost carriers dominate in terms of passengers and aircraft movements at the Pisa Airport. Historically, the airport has invested in its infrastructure, allowing it to operate long-haul intercontinental flights and cargo flights. Pisa Airport is the entryway for foreigners entering the Toscana region (incoming traffic). Further investments in capex will allow the airport to reach six million passengers in the short term.
In April 2015, ENAC approved, from a technical perspective, our 2015-2028 master plan for Pisa Airport. TA, through ENAC, has initiated the urban planning compliance procedure with the Ministry of Transport, after which all the works envisaged in the master plan will be considered compliant in terms of urban planning, approved and non-deferrable. See “Regulatory and Concessions Framework.”
Brasilia Airport (BSB)
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, the Brasilia Airport served a total of 12.5 million passengers, which accounted for approximately 21.9% of all passengers served by our airports. The Brasilia Airport accounted for 123,830 total aircraft movements, which accounted for 19.4% of all aircraft movements, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. During the year ended December 31,

2016, the Brasilia Airport served a total of 18.0 million passengers, which accounted for 25.1% of all passengers served by our airports. In addition, the Brasilia Airport accounted for 180,086 air traffic movements, which represented 21.5% of all air traffic movements in the year ended December 31, 2016, in the airports we operate.
The Brasilia Airport is located in the Brazilian capital city of Brasilia. The concession for the Brasilia Airport is owned by ICAB, a subsidiary of Inframerica. As of the date hereof, we own 99.9% of the equity interests of Inframerica, which holds 51.0% of the equity interests of ICAB. Infraero is the owner of the remaining 49.0% interest in ICAB. Infraero is a state-owned company affiliated with the Civil Aviation Secretariat of Brazil and it currently operates 59 airports in Brazil and owns a 49.1% stake in 5 other airports (including Brasilia) that it does not directly operate. The Brasilia Airport is Brazil’s third largest airport in terms of passenger traffic and serves 42 domestic routes and 5 international routes. Because of its geographic location in the central region of the country and its location in the federal capital of Brazil, the Brasilia Airport is one of the only airports with direct and daily flights to all 26 Brazilian state capitals. The Brasilia Airport also offers international routes to and from the United States, Argentina, Portugal, the Dominican Republic and Panama.
The Brasilia Airport is the only airport in South America capable of operating two runways simultaneously, which provides the largest runway capacity in Brazil.
The principal airlines operating at the Brasilia Airport are LATAM Airlines Group, Gol Transportes Aéreos, Avianca and Azul which collectively represent 97% of the airport’s traffic. Other principal airlines include American Airlines, TAP, Copa Airlines and Passaredo.
The Brasilia Airport is located 12 kilometers (8.5 miles) from downtown Brasilia. The Brasilia Airport operates twenty-four hours a day. The total area of the airport premises is approximately 4.4 hectares (473,612 square feet). The two runways have a length of 3,300 meters (approximately 10,826 feet) and 3,200 meters (approximately 10,498 feet) and an approximate runway capacity of 53 air traffic movements per hour. The airport has two parallel taxiways which can operate simultaneously, and which cover 148,500 square meters (approximately 1,598,441 square feet) and 144,000 square meters (approximately 1,550,003 square feet), respectively, and which can be expanded without the need for significant new expenditures. The airport’s terminal covers approximately 110,000 square meters (1,184,300 square feet), of which 14,290 square meters (approximately 153,816 square feet) is commercial area. The parking lot is 100,000 square meters (1,076,931 square feet), with the capacity to accommodate 3,354 vehicles.
Carrasco (MVD)
Carrasco Airport, located near Montevideo, is Uruguay’s largest airport in terms of passenger traffic and serves as the country’s primary gateway for international travel. Carrasco Airport has the capacity to handle up to 4.5 million passengers annually. It currently serves regional centers, tourist destinations and certain major cities throughout the Americas and Europe.
The following table shows the numbers of international, in transit and shuttle passengers that were served by Carrasco Airport according to DINACIA. Shuttle passengers are passengers flying to or from Aeroparque Airport, all of whom are subject to reduced passenger use fees.

Main Commercial Customers
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, our main commercial customers were Dufry and Grupo Aerolineas Argentinas. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, amounts invoiced by us to Dufry totaled U.S.$50.9 million and amounts invoiced by us to Grupo Aerolineas Argentinas totaled U.S.$7.5 million, representing 12.4% and 1.8%, respectively, of total commercial revenues. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, our main commercial customers were Dufry and Grupo Aerolineas Argentinas. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, amounts invoiced by us to Dufry totaled U.S.$49.9 million and amounts invoiced by us to Grupo Aerolineas Argentinas totaled U.S.$8.0 million, representing 13.0% and 2.1%, respectively, of total commercial revenues.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, our main commercial customers were Dufry and Grupo Aerolíneas Argentinas. In 2016, amounts invoiced by us to Dufry totaled U.S.$71.2 million and amounts invoiced by us to Grupo Aerolíneas Argentinas totaled U.S.$10.6 million, representing 13.6% and 2.0%, respectively, of total commercial revenue.
In 2011, we sold our duty free operations in Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador and Armenia to Dufry Group. Dufry Group, therefore, became the exclusive duty free operator at these airports. In Brazil and Italy, countries in which we acquired the concessions agreements after 2011, we have separate duty free concession agreements with Dufry Group. Dufry Group does not operate at our AAP Airports in Peru.
Our duty free concession agreements are primarily long-term contracts and include a variable payment, as well as a required minimum fee. Variable payments are calculated as a percent of revenues. New contracts may include an upfront payment once executed. We also charge a separate fee for use of retail and warehouse space. The terms of each agreement with Dufry vary, depending on the jurisdiction and size of the airport where it operates.

Legal Proceedings
We are involved in certain legal proceedings from time to time that are incidental to the normal conduct of our business. The material proceedings are described below.
Argentine Proceedings
Environmental Proceedings
We, our subconcessionaires and our aeronautical customers are subject to various environmental laws, regulations and authorizations governing, among other things, the generation, use, transportation, management and disposal of hazardous materials, the emission and discharge of hazardous materials into the ground, air or water, and human health and safety. We have incurred and expect to continue to incur compliance costs relating to such requirements. In addition, we could be held responsible for contamination, human exposure to hazardous materials or other environmental damage at our airports or otherwise related to our operations, even if we were not at fault or if such matters were caused by a subconcessionaire, an aeronautical customer or other third party. Following the expiration or termination of our concession agreements, we could still be held liable for environmental damages that arise after such expiration, but which were caused while we were the concessionaire. Environmental claims have been asserted against us, and additional such claims may be asserted against us in the future.
Pursuant to the Final Memorandum of Agreement entered into with the Argentine Government, dated April 3, 2007, we are required to assess and remediate environmental damage at our airports in Argentina. In accordance with section 22 of the Argentine Environmental Policies Law No. 25,675, we carry environmental insurance for Ezeiza Airport and Aeroparque Airports, which covers the cost of repairing environmental damages. We are not required to have environmental insurance for the rest of our airports in Argentina. However, in connection with any enlargements or remodeling projects undertaken at our airports, we may be required to prepare assessments of the projects’ potential environmental impacts.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
In August 2005, a civil action was brought by Asociación de Superficiarios de la Patagonia , a non-governmental organization, against Shell Oil Company for alleged environmental damages caused by an oil spill at Ezeiza Airport and, in September 2006, AA2000 was called to intervene as a third party at the request of the plaintiff. The lawsuit alleges that AA2000 is jointly liable with Shell Oil Company due to the fact that AA2000 manages the real property at which the environmental damages occurred. AA2000 has asserted that Shell Oil Company is solely responsible for any damages. We have not made any provisions in our financial statements to cover risks related to this proceeding. As of the date of this prospectus, Shell Oil Company and ORSNA are currently jointly working in the damage remediation activities.
In August 2011, Asociación de Superficiarios de la Patagonia brought a civil action against AA2000 in an Argentine administrative federal court in the City of Buenos Aires ( Justicia Federal en lo Contencioso Administrativo de la Capital Federal ), under the General Environmental Law No. 25,675, requesting compensation for environmental damage caused in all of the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement. The administrative federal court appointed the Argentine Center of Engineers ( Centro Argentino de Ingenieros ) to conduct research studies in connection with the required remediation works. In connection with this proceeding, Asociación de Superficiarios de la Patagonia obtained an injunction for compensation for environmental damages. In order to guarantee the injunction, an insurance policy was filed by AA2000 for an amount equal to AR$97.4 million (U.S.$6.1 million).
The amounts to be paid in connection with the remediation works will be considered investments under the AA2000 Concession Agreement.
Tax Proceedings Related to Technical Assistance Agreements
During 2013 and 2014, the Argentine Federal Administration of Public Income initiated three different tax assessment proceedings against AA2000, challenging the income tax deductions made by AA2000 from certain expenses and services rendered by related companies and third parties.
Two of the tax assessment proceedings were initiated against AA2000 with respect to income tax deductions in respect of services rendered by third parties. The total amount claimed under both proceedings was AR$15.0 million (U.S.$0.9 million). On November 30, 2015, AA2000 agreed to pay the amounts claimed for these deductions, plus interest, through a facility payment regime set forth by General Resolution No. 3806. Pursuant to this regime, AA2000 must pay AR$18.4 million (U.S.$1.2 million) in 36 consecutive monthly installments. As of December 31, 2016, the outstanding amount under this facility was AR$12.7 (US$0.8 million). As of the date of this prospectus, AA2000 has paid all of the monthly installments due to date under this facility.
The third and most significant tax assessment procedure was for AR$363.0 million (U.S.$22.8 million) with respect to income tax undocumented exemptions payments (pursuant to Section 37 of the Argentine Income Tax Code). The Argentine Federal Administration of Public Income considered that certain management and administrative services provided by Corporación América Sudamericana S.A. (“CAS”), one of its shareholders, were not actually rendered to AA2000. On August 3, 2016, AA2000 appealed the ruling of this assessment proceeding to the Argentine National Tax Court.
Although we believe that we had strong arguments to prove that the management and administrative services were in fact rendered to AA2000 by CAS, on February 21, 2017, AA2000 agreed to comply with the extraordinary regime of regularization of tax obligations set forth by Law No. 27,260 published in the Argentine Official Gazette on July 22, 2016. The amount that AA2000 must pay for such extraordinary regime is AR$166.3 million (U.S.$10.5 million) plus interest, in 60 consecutive, monthly installments starting in March, 2017. As of the date of this prospectus, AA2000 has paid all of the monthly installments due to date.
This extraordinary regime provided important benefits such as the suspension of the ongoing tax proceedings, the termination of the actions to prosecute such tax claims ( extinción de la acción penal tributaria ), forgiveness of fines and other penalties and reduction of interest. Although permitted by law, AA2000 did not include the amounts due under the first facility payment regime under this extraordinary regime.
132

TABLE OF CONTENTS
In addition, in 2013, a separate criminal proceeding was initiated by a third party against two former directors of AA2000 based on the same facts as the assessment proceedings mentioned above. The Court of first instance dismissed the claim and the prosecutor appealed the ruling. The Court of Appeals reversed the prior ruling based on the lack of evidence obtained in the original proceeding and ordered the Court of first instance to expand the fraud investigation to determine the possible connection with the assessment proceeding mentioned above. After further investigation, the Court of first instance ratified the dismissal of AA2000, which the prosecutor subsequently appealed. The Court of Appeals once again revoked the dismissal and, based on the connection of both proceedings, ordered the consolidation of the fraud and the tax assessments investigations into one proceeding. Since then, the Court of first instance on economic and criminal matters No. 11 is the intervening court for the above-mentioned proceedings, which continued as a unified criminal matter on income taxes and income tax on undocumented exemptions (pursuant to Section 37 of the Argentine Income Tax Code).
Because AA2000 agreed to pay the amounts claimed in all three tax assessment proceedings, AA2000 filed a request to suspend the ongoing criminal tax proceeding pursuant to Argentine law, which has not yet been granted by the Court. On August 25, 2017, the prosecutor challenged the request made by AA2000 to suspend the criminal proceeding, arguing that although AA2000 complied with the extraordinary regime for the services rendered by CAS, AA2000 failed to include under this extraordinary regime the services rendered by third parties. We believe that once all the installments under the extraordinary regime are fully paid, the action to prosecute tax claims based on these facts will be fully extinguished.
Brazilian Proceedings
Administrative Proceedings before the Brazilian ANAC
ICAB filed claims before the Brazilian ANAC on December 29, 2015, in the total amount of R$758.0 million (U.S.$253.1 million), requesting the economic re-equilibrium of ICAB’s concession agreement based on, among other things, additional construction works required to complete the terminals and the runway that were not provided for in the concession agreement, and the negative impact of the issuance of new rules and regulations by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, which reduced ICAB’s revenues in connection with the use of the cargo terminal. Claims in the amount of R$454.1 million (U.S.$120.2 million) were denied by the Brazilian ANAC, and ICAB expects to initiate an arbitration proceeding with respect to the denied claims. The remaining claims are under review by the Brazilian ANAC.
In addition, on June 29, 2017, ICAB filed new claims with the Brazilian ANAC in the amount of R$196.8 million (U.S.$61.2 million) requesting the economic re-equilibrium of ICAB’s concession agreement based on, among other things, the loss of revenues as a result of modifications to the rules and regulation affecting the air traffic system in Congonhas airport. These claims are currently under review by the Brazilian ANAC.
On December 29, 2015, ICASGA filed claims in the total amount of R$1.0 billion (U.S.$263.1 million) before the Brazilian ANAC requesting the economic re-equilibrium of ICASGA’s concession agreement based on inconsistencies in the parameters related to the viability study prepared by the government (EVTEA) under the tender documents, inconsistencies related to the control tower and additional capital expenditures required to complete the airport that were not provided for in the concession agreement. Claims in the amount of R$956.8 million (U.S.$251.7 million) were denied by the Brazilian ANAC, and ICASGA expects to initiate an arbitration proceeding with respect to the denied claims. The remainder of the claims are currently under review by the Brazilian ANAC.
Civil Proceedings
Inframerica and its subsidiaries are defendants in various civil lawsuits, which individually and in the aggregate are not material. Separately, in July 2016 we filed an ordinary action against the Brazilian ANAC to suspend the payment of the annual fixed grants related to ICAB’s concession ( outorga anual ) while the economic re-equilibrium is pending final judgement and with the objective to compensate these eventual mutual payments. ICAB obtained an authorization to make the 2016 fixed grant in the amount of R$245.7 million (U.S.$75.4 million) in a court deposit. The amount of R$253.0 million (U.S.$66.5 million) related to the 2017 fixed grant payment is pending judgment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Ecuadorian Proceedings
Income Tax Claim
The Guayaquil Concession Agreement granted TAGSA, among other things, the administration and operation of certain duty-free areas for a 20 year-period, in order to develop commercial and service activities, as well as the improvement of existing facilities and the construction of new ones. Duty-free areas are entitled to certain tax benefits, including a 100% exemption from income tax, as well as VAT, among others.
In 2010, a new Production, Commercial and Investment Code was enacted in Ecuador, which repealed the law that created tax-free zones but included a grandfather clause that provided that concessions granted by previous regulations were not affected by these new dispositions.
However, the tax authority reviewed the 2010 and 2012 fiscal years, and assessed additional income tax charges of U.S.$1.9 million and U.S.$1.4 million, respectively. TAGSA paid the amount due with respect to the 2010 fiscal year and disputed the validity of the 2012 claims. The 2013-2016 fiscal years are open for review. TAGSA’s management believes it has arguments to support its position.
Peruvian Proceedings
Unilateral Termination of the Kuntur Wasi Concession Agreement
In June 2014, Sociedad Aeroportuaria Kuntur Wasi S.A. (“Kuntur Wasi”), of which we are a 50% owner, was awarded the concession for the construction and operation of the Chinchero – Cusco airport in Peru (the “Kuntur Wasi Concession Agreement”). The Kuntur Wasi Concession Agreement was executed on July 4, 2014.
Through “Oficio No. 142-2017-MTC/01” dated July 13, 2017, the Peruvian Government, through the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, unilaterally terminated Kuntur Wasi’s concession based on “public interest” reasons.
On July 18, 2017, Kuntur Wasi formally notified the Peruvian Government of its disagreement with the unilateral resolution because: (i) Kuntur Wasi had fulfilled all of its contractual commitments, (ii) there was no valid justification to unilaterally terminate the Kuntur Wasi Concession Agreement and (iii) if the unilateral termination were exercised, the Peruvian Government would be obliged to compensate all the damages suffered by Kuntur Wasi. Likewise, Kuntur Wasi notified the Peruvian Government of its decision to begin the direct treatment procedure to resolve the controversy in accordance with the provisions of section 16.5 of the Concession Agreement.
On September 11, 2017, Corporación América sent written notice to the Peruvian Government notifying the Peruvian Government of its non-compliance with certain Peruvian Government obligations under the 1996 Bilateral Investment Agreement between Peru and Argentina for the promotion and protection of investments (“BIT”) caused by the mentioned unilateral resolution, which (i) constitutes a dispute between us (as a shareholder of Kuntur Wasi and an investor in Peru) and the Peruvian Government under the BIT, and (ii) has caused damages to us.
We are currently negotiating with the Peruvian Government this termination. As of the date of this Prospectus, the amount of damages sought by Kuntur Wasi in connection with the termination has not yet been determined.
Crimes Against the State and Money Laundering Complaint
On February 24, 2017, the Peruvian Prosecutor initiated an investigation under Peruvian Law against certain management members of Kuntur Wasi, for alleged conspiracy with governmental authorities to obtain the concession for the operation of the new Cusco International Airport in Chinchero. On October 10, 2017, upon expiration of the statutory term for the completion of the initial investigation The Peruvian Prosecutor filed an amendment to the complaint, which is now based on alleged instances of crimes against the state and money laundering by Kuntur Wasi under the Organized Crime Law.
134

TABLE OF CONTENTS
As set forth by the Peruvian Prosecutor in this amended complaint, the investigation will now center around Kuntur Wasi not having funding available at the time of the award of the concession to complete the bid project, the provision of certain loans and payments made to Kuntur Wasi from Cedicor, APP, Converse Bank and Liska, and payments made to Proyecta y Construye S.A. from Kuntur Wasi in connection with engineering services for the construction of the Cusco Airport.
We intend to vigorously defend against these allegations, as we believe such allegations are without merit.
Shareholders’ Agreements
In addition to the concession agreements described under “Regulatory and Concession Framework,” we are party to the following shareholders agreements.
TA Shareholders Agreement (Italy)
CA Italy, a shareholder of TA holding a 51.1% stake, is a party to the shareholders agreement executed with SO.G.IM. S.p.A. with respect to the governance of TA, which was originally entered into in April 16, 2014 (“TA Shareholders Agreement”). Pursuant to the TA Shareholders Agreement, CA Italy and SO.G.IM. S.p.A. agreed to jointly submit and vote at the annual shareholders meeting for one slate of candidates for election to the board of directors and one slate of nominees for the board of statutory auditors. In particular, CA Italy and SO.G.IM. S.p.A., have agreed to jointly submit and vote at the annual shareholders meeting for (i) a slate of 15 nominees for election to the board of directors (three of which are to be selected by SO.G.IM. S.p.A. and the others by CA Italy on the basis of a criterion ensuring gender balance in accordance with the applicable statutory and regulatory provisions in force from time to time); and (ii) a slate of three statutory auditors plus two alternate statutory auditors (of which one effective statutory auditor shall be selected by SO.G.IM. S.p.A. and the other effective and alternate statutory auditors by CA Italy). CA Italy and SO.G.IM. S.p.A., also undertake to previously consult before every meeting of the board of directors and of the shareholders to discuss their respective positions at such meetings, it being understood that, in case of disagreement, CA Italy’s position shall prevail. The TA Shareholders Agreement also sets forth the following limitations on the transfer of shares of TA: (i) CA Italy and SO.G.IM. S.p.A., unless otherwise agreed, shall not enter into any agreement with third parties in relation to the transfer of the shares; (ii) a drag-along right is granted to CA Italy (against SO.G.IM. S.p.A.’s shares) in the event CA Italy receives an offer for the sale of its shares; (iii) CA Italy grants SO.G.IM. S.p.A. an option for the sale of all SO.G.IM. S.p.A.’s shares to CA Italy, to be exercised between December 1, 2019, and April 15, 2020, in the event that both parties agree not to renew the TA Shareholders Agreement before November 30, 2019 and the drag-along right under (ii) above is not exercised. Finally, the parties undertake not to enter into any transaction for the acquisition of the shares of TA that may give rise to the obligation to launch a tender offer pursuant to Legislative Decree 58/1998 (the Italian Consolidated Financial Act).
SO.G.IM. S.p.A. is entitled to, at any time, unilaterally withdraw from the agreement and all of the obligations contained therein. SO.G.IM. S.p.A. can withdraw by providing written notice to CA Italy, which shall indicate the date in which the agreement will no longer be valid.
The TA Shareholders Agreement, as supplemented, amended or renewed (as the case may be) on May 13, 2015, April 10, 2017, and September 29, 2017, may be extended upon written agreement by CA Italy and SO.G.IM. S.p.A.
Regardless of the TA Shareholders Agreement, CA Italy controls for the purposes of Article 93 of the Italian Consolidated Financial Act, TA through its ownership of 51.1% of TA’s shares.
Brasilia Shareholders Agreement
Our Brazilian subsidiary, Inframerica, which holds our 51.0% ownership interest of ICAB, is a party to a shareholders agreement with Infraero, which holds a 49.0% ownership interest in ICAB (“Brasilia Shareholders Agreement”). Pursuant to the Brasilia Shareholders Agreement, Infraero is entitled to nominate two directors to the board of directors (regardless of its ownership interest in ICAB), the employees of ICAB are entitled to nominate one director to the board of directors and Inframerica is entitled to nominate the majority of the directors to the board of directors. During the initial development phases of the Brasilia Airport, which were completed in May 2014, Infraero was required to contribute its
135

TABLE OF CONTENTS
proportional share of any capital increase in ICAB. Beginning in June 2014, Infraero had the option, but not the obligation, to contribute its proportional share of any future capital commitments. Any transfer of direct interests in ICAB requires the prior approval of the non-transferring shareholder. In addition to these transfer restrictions, Infraero has a tag along right to participate, directly or indirectly, in any transaction whereby a third party acquires control of either ICAB or Inframerica.
Infraero has also been granted certain customary minority shareholder protective veto rights over the following matters: any change to the authorized share capital; any capital reduction, any amendment to ICAB’s bylaws; the formation of any partnership, consortium, joint venture or other enterprise; any merger, spin-off, transformation, or partial spin-off of ICAB; appointment of external auditors; sale or other disposition of ICAB’s assets; incurrence of indebtedness not related to the airport exploration plan; and entering into (or amending) any related-party agreements.
The Brasilia Shareholders Agreement terminates at such time as either Inframerica or Infraero ceases to own any shares of ICAB.
Property and Insurance
Real Property and Personal Property
Generally, pursuant to our concession agreements, the relevant governments retain ownership of all real property and fixtures in our airports. The real property is considered to be public domain property and, as such, must remain free and clear of any liens and/or encumbrances.
Upon taking possession of the airports, we were awarded use of all the real property necessary for the rendering of services under the applicable concession agreements. The grant to use the real property and fixtures under the concession agreements typically requires us to perform general maintenance and upkeep on the real property in accordance with the terms of the respective concession agreement and, in some cases, the bidding documentation submitted by us before the relevant governmental authority for the granting of the concessions.
We have the right to assign, for consideration, the use of part of the real property and fixtures granted to us under our concession agreements. As such, we are authorized to grant subconcessions for the use of the real property and fixtures or enter into other similar agreements with third parties concerning the real property and fixtures granted to us under our concession agreements.
Upon the expiration of the relevant concession agreement, the real property and fixtures will revert to the national government, including any improvements we may have made during the term of such concession agreement, free and clear of any liens and/or encumbrances.
Personal Property
Generally, the relevant governments transfer to us all of the personal property included in the inventory of the airports when we first take possession of the airports. At the end of the relevant concession agreement, we are required to assign, free of charge, to the applicable national government all of the personal property then used by us in providing the services under the respective concession agreement, so as to facilitate the continued provision of the services by the government or future concessionaire with minimal or no change in the quality level thereof.
Insurance
We maintain civil liability insurance policies in our names and the applicable local government’s names in accordance with the terms and requirements of the local concession agreements.

No specific minimum amount of insurance is required under the relevant agreement.
We maintain partial and total risk insurance coverage on the property and principal assets of our airports, including insurance coverage against some damages that may be caused by acts of God or force majeure, subject to certain limitations. We do not maintain insurance coverage that covers terrorism or war risks to our property. However, such risks are generally covered in our civil liability insurance policies. We also hold worker’s compensation insurance as required by local law. We do not maintain business interruption insurance.
Seasonality
On a consolidated basis, our revenues do not reflect any material seasonal effects. However, each of the markets in which we operate experiences higher traffic volume during its summer months. In Italy, for example, we experience higher traffic volumes in July and August, while in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, we experience slightly higher traffic volumes in December, January and February. Because our concessions have different peak periods, the net effect on a consolidated basis is that our revenues do not exhibit any material seasonal effects.
Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to federal and provincial laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The level of environmental regulation in the countries in which we operate has increased in recent years, and the enforcement of such laws is becoming more stringent. We expect this trend to continue. However, we do not expect that compliance with local environmental laws will have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There can be no assurance, however, that environmental regulations or the enforcement thereof will not change in a manner that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, prospects or financial condition.
Argentina
Airport activity is subject to general regulations concerning the environment and other matters. Article 41 of the National Constitution establishes the right of all residents to a safe and balanced environment who have, in their turn, the duty to preserve it and further mandates that environmental damage will generate an obligation to restore. On the other hand, it prohibits currently or potentially hazardous waste as well as radioactive waste from entering national territory. Finally, it dictates that federal legislation will contain minimum budgets for protection and that regional legislation will dictate the regulations necessary to complement the federal legislation.
137

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The basic regulatory structure at the federal level is Law 25,675, which regulates the events or acts ( hechos o actos jurídicos ), legal or illegal, which by their act or omission collectively cause environmental damage. Likewise, it defines environmental damage as all relevant alteration that negatively modifies the environment, its resources, the balance of ecosystems, or the public goods or values. It also establishes that that which causes the environmental damage will be objectively responsible for restoring it to its state prior to such damage. In the event that it is not technically feasible, indemnification for such damage will be remediated as decreed by the ordinary courts ( justicia ordinaria ).
In conformity with the federal nature of the concessionaire’s activity, the ORSNA has legal authority to intervene in environmental issues in accordance with Decree 375/97. Likewise, it has legal penalizing authority over the Concessionaire concerning these issues, in accordance with ORSNA Resolution Number 88/04 which passed the Penal Regulations applicable to AA2000.
The National Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development approves inter-jurisdictional administrative procedures e.g., movements of hazardous waste between different provinces.
Through Law 24.051, the issue of hazardous waste treatment is regulated, complemented by local regulations. Such law also establishes penalties for non-compliance.
The Argentine Animal Health Service ( Servicio de Sanidad Animal ) regulates and controls the health checkpoints in international airports.
In addition to the regulatory framework and applicable federal jurisdiction, local authorities have legislative power over water-effluent waters and the gathering of subterranean water. These authorities also promulgate procedures and conduct approvals for specific processes such as licenses to dispose of hazardous waste and solid urban waste.
Non-compliance with legal administrative procedures can result in administrative penalties in the first instance and civil or criminal obligations for the incurred environmental damage. Finally, the authorities—in their respective jurisdictions—can conduct inspections, apply administrative penalties and commence criminal complaints for environmental contamination.
Italy
In Italy, ENAC is the authority responsible for the provision of the relevant regulations concerning environmental protection requirements for aircraft and airports.
The regulatory framework on environmental pollution in the areas surrounding airports is led by the Ministry of the Environment and Territorial Protection, which prepares the relevant regulation in coordination with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, in accordance with the relevant international conventions and the EU Directives and Regulations concerning the environment and natural heritage.
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport avails itself of ENAC for those aspects related to civil aviation. The applicable regulatory framework defines the areas of intervention and the responsibilities of the relevant entities in the airport business sector. In the implementation of the rules concerning noise pollution in relation to the airport business, the Ministry of the Environment and ENAC coordinate their activities, with particular reference to the continuous monitoring of compliance with the relevant regulatory framework.
Among its tasks, ENAC is entrusted with (i) establishing the provisions to ensure improvements in the performance of aircraft from an environmental standpoint, and (ii) issuing circulars concerning the matter of noise levels relating to the airport business, also in accordance with the ICAO guidelines, in order to ensure the correct and uniform application of the current framework of rules.
The main environmental laws include regulations relating to the movement of aircraft, air quality (including emission standards), soil, water and noise pollution due to airport operations, water discharges, groundwater contamination, waste management and disposal of chemical materials and aircraft chemicals. Set forth below are the main regulations which have been provided in these areas:

Brazil
The primary environmental laws include regulations regarding aircraft movement, air quality (including emission standards), soil, water and noise pollution from airport operations, water discharge and drainage, groundwater contamination, flooding treatment, waste management plan and disposal of materials and chemicals by aircrafts.
The Brazilian Aeronautical Code regulates a noise zoning plan, under which the aeronautical authority establishes rules for an orderly occupation of the area around the airport, subject to the effects of aeronautical noise. The plan’s intent is to harmonize the development of the various urban or rural activities with aeronautical noise levels, determining noise level curves and creating zoning areas delimited by such curves, in which the conditions for its use are regulated.
In February 2009 the Brazilian Government approved a new National Civil Aviation Policy. Although the National Civil Aviation Policy does not establish any immediate measures, it contains the main guidelines for the national civil aviation system and encourages the Ministry of Defense, the Civil Aviation Council ( Conselho de Aviação Civil or “CONAC”) and the Brazilian ANAC to issue rules on environmental protection in order to minimize the harmful effects of civil aviation.
Resolution No. 470, enacted on August 27, 2015, issued by the National Environmental Council ( Conselho Nacional do Meio Ambiente ), sets forth standards and guidelines for the environmental regularization and licensing of regional airports. Environmental licensing is the procedure whereby activities that cause, or have the potential to cause, environmental degradation or pollution, obtain licenses among federal, state or municipal agencies for the location, construction, installation, expansion and operation of their enterprises.
139

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Failure to obtain and comply with an environmental license is subject to administrative sanctions, such as the suspension of operations, and fines, which vary depending on the competent authority, as well as criminal sanctions, which include fines, imprisonment for individuals and restriction of rights for legal entities.
The environmental licensing procedure includes “prior,” “installation” and “operating” licenses. A “prior” license is granted during the preliminary phase of planning the enterprise or activity to authorize its location and concept and attesting to its environmental feasibility. An “installation” license authorizes the installation of an enterprise or activity in accordance with the specifications stated in approved plans, programs and projects. An “operating” license authorizes an activity or enterprise to operate after the conditions stated in the “prior” licenses are fulfilled and verified, with environmental protection measures and certain conditions for operations.
Environmental licensing is subject to several legal instruments such as: National Environmental Council Resolution No. 237/1997, which establishes the general regulation for (i) environmental licenses; (ii) federal, state and local jurisdiction over environmental issues; (iii) the list of activities subject to licensing and; (iv) environmental impact studies and reports; Complementary State Laws No. 272/2007 and 336/2006, which establish the licensing procedure in the state of Rio Grande do Norte State and State Decree No. 236,992/2015 and District Law No. 41/1989, which establish the licensing procedure in the Federal District.
Each license is valid for a specific term, provided that the license must be renewed upon its expiration. Pursuant to Complementary Law No. 140, of December 8, 2011, the request for the renewal of an environmental license must be filed 120 days before its expiration date, so that it remains valid until the renewed license is issued.
Brazilian civil liability for environmental damage is joint and several. Therefore, all those that directly or indirectly cause environmental damages can be held liable to recover, compensate or indemnify the environmental damages or third parties affected, regardless whether fault is proved (strict liability). If more than one polluter has contributed to the damage, any of them may be held liable to recover the damage or to indemnify the affected parties, remaining the right of recourse against the other ones.
Brazilian administrative law establishes that environmental violations are subject to fines of up to R$50.0 million, depending on the offender’s payment capacity, the severity of the offense, and the offender’s history in terms of environmental offenses committed, if any; embargo of construction or activities; demolition of construction works; and total or partial suspension of activities. The sanctions and the amount of fines may vary pursuant to municipal, state and federal legislation. Administrative liability can be enforced by federal, state and municipal environmental agencies.
In Brazil, criminal liability requires demonstration of causal link, proof of fault or wrongful intent on the part of the offender. Offenders may be held liable for actions and omissions defined as environmental crimes under Brazilian law (Federal Law No. 9.605/1998). In addition to penalties that involve deprivation of liberty (individuals), there are penalties that involve restriction of rights, such as loss of tax benefits and incentives, suspension or cancellation of permits and prohibitions against contracting with the government (legal entities and individuals). Criminal liability of corporate entities may not exclude individual liability of other offenders or co-offenders. Thus, all individuals that contribute to an offense, even by omission, may be held liable to the extent of their culpability.
The Brazilian Sanitary Agency (“ANVISA”) regulates and controls health checkpoints at international airports in Brazil. ANVISA promulgates procedures and conducts approvals for specific processes and procedures related to the disposal of hazardous materials and becomes involved in connection with an international sanitary emergency.
Non-compliance with legal administrative procedures required by ANVISA may result in administrative penalties. ANVISA employees may conduct inspections and apply administrative penalties in connection with environmental contamination or sanitary risks.
Uruguay
The principal environmental laws include law 16,466 on the assessment of environmental impacts and regulatory decree 349/005, law 17,220 on hazardous waste, Decree 541/007 on solid wastes in airports, Decree 182/013 on industrial waste and Decree 518/003 on liquid waste and sewage waters.
140

TABLE OF CONTENTS
In order to comply with environmental regulations, CAISA and Puerta del Sur established a solid waste management program approved by the Uruguayan Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Housing, Land Planning and Environment. CAISA has a water treatment plant for treating sewage and industrial wastewaters. Puerta del Sur has a water treatment plant for treating sewage and industrial wastewaters which is only used when waste surpasses certain levels. In ordinary circumstances, wastewater is discharged through the sewage system. Puerta del Sur has also built a pyrolytic oven for purposes of processing organic material. The residual gas and waters of the oven are analyzed and controlled by the Uruguayan Environmental Agency (DINAMA).
Ecuador
The operations in Ecuador are subject to national and provincial laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. In addition to the Constitution of Ecuador, the Organic Integral Criminal Code, the Health Code, the Law on Defense against fires and the Organic Law on Water, the principal environmental laws include Environment Management Law ( Ley de Gestión Ambiental ), which will be replaced on April 2018 by the newly enacted Environmental Organic Code; Unified Secondary Environmental Legislation ( Texto Unificado de Legislación Secundaria de Medio Ambiente ), Law on Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution ( Ley de Prevención y Control de la Contaminación Ambiental ) and Ministerial Agreement 155, which includes the technical environmental norms in Ports and Airports ( Acuerdo Ministerial 155, Normas técnicas ambientales en Puertos y Aeropuertos ). There is other secondary legislation related to waste management.
Due to the unique nature of the Galapagos, it also has separate regulations such as the Organic Law on Special Regimen of Galapagos Province ( Ley Orgánica de Régimen Especial de la Provincia de Galápagos ); Special Regulation related to Tourism in Protected Areas ( Reglamento Especial de Turismo en Áreas Protegidas ); Municipal regulation 13, in relation to the Waste Management in Santa Cruz ( Ordenanza Municipal 13, respecto del Manejo Integral de Residuos Sólidos en el Cantón Santa Cruz ); Resolution 38, Reduction plan to reduce plastic consumption in Galapagos ( Resolución 38, Plan de Acción para Reducir el Consumo de Plásticos en Galápagos ); Provincial regulation 1, Sustainable Development Plan of Galapagos ( Ordenanza Provincial 1, Plan de Desarrollo Sustentable y Ordenamiento Territorial Galápagos ).
The level of environmental regulation in the countries in which we operate has increased in recent years, in particular in Galapagos region due to its unique status as an ecological sanctuary, and the enforcement of such laws is becoming more pronounced.
Armenia
The principal environmental laws in Armenia include the Republic of Armenia Law on Protection of Atmospheric Air, adopted on October 11, 1994; the Republic of Armenia Law on Environmental Impact Assessment and Expertise, adopted on June 21, 2014; the Republic of Armenia Law on Nature Protection and Nature Utilization Payments, adopted on December 28, 1998; the Republic of Armenia Law on Flora, adopted on November 23, 1999; the Republic of Armenia Law on Fauna, adopted on April 3, 2000; the Republic of Armenia Law on Waste Management, adopted on November 24, 2004, and the Republic of Armenia Law on Environmental Control, adopted on April 11, 2005. In addition, the Government of the Republic of Armenia has passed the Land Code of the Republic of Armenia, adopted on May 2, 2001; the Lithosphere Code of the Republic of Armenia, adopted on November 28, 2011; the Forest Code of the Republic of Armenia, adopted on October 24, 2005; and the Water Code of the Republic of Armenia, adopted on June 4, 2002. Under the Armenian Concession Agreement, AIA is responsible for the observance of international as well as local environmental laws and regulations and compliance with environmental standards provided for in those regulations.
The key governmental agencies responsible for the administration and enforcement of environmental laws are the Ministry of Nature Protection, and the Ministries of Agriculture and Healthcare.
We believe that our Armenian airports are in compliance with applicable Armenian environmental legislation.
Peru
Law No. 27261, Peruvian Civil Aviation Law ( Ley de Aeronáutica Civil del Perú ) and Supreme Decree No. 050-2001-MTC, Regulation of Law No. 27261, Peruvian Civil Aviation Law ( Reglamento de la Ley de
141

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Aeronáutica Civil ) establishes that construction, development, rehabilitation, improvement, and modification of airports require prior authorization and must comply with the environmental laws and corresponding Environmental Impact Studies.
In February 2017, the Peruvian Government enacted Supreme Decree No. 004-2017-MTC, Regulation of Environmental Protection for Transportation Sector ( Reglamento de Protección Ambiental para el Sector Transportes ) that regulates (i) the Environmental Impact Studies for each project according to Law No. 27446, Law of National System of Environmental Impact Evaluation ( Ley del Sistema Nacional de Evaluación del Impacto Ambiental ) and Supreme Decree No. 019-2009-MINAM, Regulation of Law of National System of Environmental Impact Evaluation ( Reglamento de la Ley del Sistema Nacional de Evaluación del Impacto Ambiental ); (ii) the Maximum Permitted Limits and the Environmental Quality Standards for Transport Sector established by Environmental Ministry; (iii) noise and vibration pollution; (iv) air quality (including emission standards); (v) flora and fauna protection; (vi) soil protection, (vii) water pollution from airport operations, according to Law No. 29338, Water Law ( Ley de Recursos Hídricos ) and Supreme Decree No. 001-2010-AG, Regulation of Law No. 29338, Water Law ( Reglamento de la Ley de Recursos Hídricos ); (ix) waste management plan, according to Legislative Decree No. 1298, Waste Management Law ( Ley de Gestión Integral de Residuos Sólidos ); and (x) disposal of materials and chemicals.
In Peru, Section 304 of Criminal Code establishes the environmental pollution crime which imposes penalties that involve deprivation of liberty (individuals) not less than four years or more than six years and between 100- and 600-day fines.
In order to comply with these regulations, AAP is in the process of updating the environmental studies on the AAP Airports (Environmental Impact Statements), specifically in connection with the works, maintainance and operation of such airports. Other than the Ayacucho Airport, for which the study has already been updated, these procedures are currently ongoing and being coordinated by the MTC.
Employees
As of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and 2015, we employed 6,076, 5,974 and 5,962 employees, respectively, of which 5,155, 4,910 and 4,880, respectively, worked on activities such as operations, maintenance, security, customer services, parking and charging of airport charges; and 922, 1,064 and 1,082, respectively, worked in sales and marketing, the finance sector, administration, human resources, legal department and other activities.
We have unionized employees in all of the jurisdictions in which we operate. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 55.5% and 54.0%, respectively, of our employees in Argentina were represented by two unions: (a) Union de Personal Civil de la Nación , and (b) Asociación de Personal Aeronáutico . The relationship between the unions and these employees is mainly governed by a collective bargaining agreement (CBA Nbr. 1,254/2011 “E”) between us and the unions, dated November 26, 2016. We negotiate this collective bargaining agreement, and the other labor agreement to which we are a party, on an annual basis. We have not experienced any significant labor conflicts during the last two years. We maintain a successful working relationship with each union’s delegates and representatives. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business and Industry—The majority of our workforce is unionized and we may be subject to organized labor action, including work stoppages and litigation.”
In addition, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 374 and 358, respectively, of our employees in Italy (approximately 50.1% and 49.7%, respectively) are represented by transportation trade unions. In Italy, there are two levels of collective bargaining: the national employment contract, which every company is bound to apply, and the collective corporate contract. Prior to the merger that created TA in 2015, the collective corporate contract was agreed, which avoided certain liabilities in connection with the reduction in staff generated by the merger. Additional collective corporate contracts have been executed to address issues regarding operational efficiencies and reductions in operating costs.
As of December 31, 2016, 164 of our employees in Brazil (approximately 18.4%) are represented by the National Union of Airport Employees ( Sindicato Nacional do Aeroportuarios ). We have not experienced any significant collective conflicts during the last two years. We maintain a successful working relationship with each union’s delegates and representatives in Brazil.

We are subject to numerous regulations that govern the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the concession agreements for the Neuquén and the Bahía Blanca Airports, as well as our business and the operation of the airports, issued by the Argentine Congress, the Executive Branch, the Ministry of Transportation, the ORSNA and the Administration of National Civil Aviation ( Administración Nacional de Aviación Civil or the Argentine ANAC).
Title III of Law 17,285, dated May 17, 1967 (the “Argentine Aeronautical Code”), as amended, and Regulation 1/2017 of the Airport Infrastructure and Services General Bureau ( Dirección General de Infraestructura y Servicios Aeroportuarios ), set forth the basic framework for the regulation of airports in Argentina. The Argentine Aeronautical Code also provided for the creation of both international and national airports and established concepts such as public and private airports. Decree 375/97 created the Argentine National Airport System and established the general framework for regulating the use, operation and management of the Argentine airport facilities that are part of the Argentine National Airport System. Under Decree 375/97, the Argentine Government may grant concessions to operate and manage some or all of the airports in the Argentine National Airport System subsequent to a public bidding process that is open to both national and international entities. Decree 375/97 provides that the Argentine National Airport System is regulated by the ORSNA, with respect to matters generally involving management and maintenance, and by the Argentine ANAC with respect to matters generally involving airport safety and air travel.
Argentina has a federal government system and 23 provinces and the City of Buenos Aires with individual laws. Under the Argentine Constitution, all powers which are not granted to the Argentine Government remain with the provinces and the City of Buenos Aires. Laws related to civil, commercial, criminal, mining, transportation, labor and social security matters are regulated by the National Congress. Pursuant to Article 75, Subsection 30) of the Argentine Constitution, national airports are considered “premises of national interest” ( establecimientos de interes nacional ), therefore, federal legislation is applicable, with the sole exception for tax and police powers of each of the Argentine Provinces, insofar as they do not interfere with the federal interest.
Governmental Authorities
Role of the ORSNA
The ORSNA is the principal regulator of our airports under Argentine law, and is an agency under the authority of the Ministry of Transportation. The ORSNA is directed by a four-member board (while only three members are currently appointed) and represented by the president of the board. The ORSNA is responsible for establishing the rules and procedures that govern our management and maintenance of the airports we operate and for enforcing our compliance with Argentine laws and the terms of the concession agreements in Argentina, including our fulfillment of our investment plan and master plans. The ORSNA and the Argentine ANAC are jointly responsible for establishing the criteria for our development of airport safety manuals, airport operations manuals, emergency plans and maintenance programs.
All disputes arising in connection with the operation or management of our airports must be submitted to the ORSNA. If we challenge any of ORSNA’s decisions, we may seek final judgment on the matter from the Ministry of Transportation and subsequently from the Argentine federal court system.
Role of the Argentine ANAC
Under the authority of the Ministry of Transportation, the Argentine ANAC is responsible for providing services relating to aeronautical activities, including air traffic control and flight protection services. Since July 2009, the Argentine ANAC has been exclusively in charge of civil aeronautical functions, which were previously provided by the Argentine Air Force, the ORSNA and the Sub-Secretariat of Aerocommercial Transportation.
The Argentine ANAC has the power to audit and control civil aviation activities, including public and private airports and airdromes, air traffic and communications and air navigation and aeronautical services. In addition, it may develop regulatory projects in connection with such activities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Under the terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the Argentine ANAC is responsible for providing in our airports, among other functions, operating functions (including air traffic control and communications), supervisory functions (including supervision of airport infrastructure, aviation personnel and flight equipment) and safety functions (including direction and supervision of search and rescue operations) at our airports. The Argentine ANAC charges the airlines and is responsible for the collection of general security, flight route security and aircraft landing support charges.
Additional Argentine Agencies
The Ministry of Interior operates the Argentine Migrations Bureau and, under the Ministry of the Treasury, operates the Argentine General Customs Bureau ( Dirección General de Aduanas ) which performs all immigration and customs functions for all airports in Argentina. The Argentine Migrations Bureau imposes and collects certain charges relating to immigration. In addition, security functions are provided by the Airport Security Police ( Policía de Seguridad Aeroportuaria ), which is under the authority of the Ministry of Security.
The AA2000 Concession Agreement
Pursuant to Administrative Decision 60/98, AA2000 was awarded the concession for the operation of 33 of the airports of the Argentine National Airport System set forth and covered by the AA2000 Concession Agreement. The AA2000 Concession Agreement was approved by Decree 163/98, dated February 13, 1998.
Because of the period of severe political, economic and social crisis that Argentina experienced during 2001 and 2002, the Congress enacted Law 25,561, which was subsequently amended and expanded, which declared a public emergency in social, economic, administrative, financial and exchange matters and provided for, among other things, the renegotiation of public services and works contracts, such as the AA2000 Concession Agreement. Decree 311/03 established that the renegotiation of public services and works contracts would be carried out by the Public Service Contract Analysis and Renegotiation Unit (Unidad de Renegociación y Análisis de Contratos de Servicios Públicos) and that the renegotiation process would be presided over by the former Ministry of Economy and Production and the Ministry of Planning.
Within the renegotiation framework established by Decree 311/03, on July 20, 2005, we executed a memorandum of understanding with the Argentine Government which set forth the guidelines for the renegotiation of the AA2000 Concession Agreement. The renegotiation of the AA2000 Concession Agreement resulted in a preliminary memorandum of agreement, dated June 16, 2006, which was subsequently replaced by a second memorandum of agreement, dated August 23, 2006. The memorandum of agreement, dated August 23, 2006, was then submitted for public hearing by the former Ministry of Economy and Production and the Ministry of Planning. As a result of the comments received at the public hearing, the Public Service Contract Analysis and Renegotiation Unit modified certain provisions of the memorandum of agreement, dated August 23, 2006, and renegotiated the memorandum of agreement with us. The renegotiations resulted in a revised memorandum of agreement, dated December 1, 2006.
The memorandum of agreement, dated December 1, 2006, was approved by the Congress on February 13, 2007, with certain recommendations. The final memorandum of agreement, which was previously approved by the Argentine Congress, was executed by the Argentine Government and us on April 3, 2007, and was confirmed by the Executive Branch by Decree 1799, dated December 4, 2007 (“Final Memorandum of Agreement”).
Unless otherwise stated, the term “AA2000 Concession Agreements” refers to the AA2000 Concession Agreement modified by the Final Memorandum of Agreement.
In addition to the regulatory structure set forth under Argentine law and regulations governing the AA2000 Concession, the majority of our rights and obligations with respect to the concession are regulated by the specific terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement as set forth below.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Our General Obligations
In general, under the terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we are responsible for the following functions in connection with the airports, among others:

ensuring equality, freedom of access and nondiscrimination with respect to the use of airport services and facilities on the terms established under the relevant bidding documentation;

ensuring that the operations of the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement comply with community interests, environmental protection, anti-drug trafficking laws and national defense;

implementing the master plans approved by the ORSNA;

operating airport services and facilities in a reliable manner, in accordance with applicable national and international standards;

investing in airport infrastructure in accordance with the applicable investment plan;

the maintenance of airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, except for those facilities used by the Argentine Government in the areas assigned to and/or reserved for it;

the installation, operation and maintenance of the airport facilities and/or equipment in such manner as to prevent them from constituting a public safety hazard;

compliance with the relevant environmental protection standards and assessment of the environmental impact that may result from proposed works;

providing the ORSNA with all documents and information necessary or requested for verifying compliance with the AA2000 Concession Agreement and any applicable laws and regulations;

providing, in the areas under our control, firefighting services for the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement;

ensuring the ability of the Argentine Government to exercise its relative powers necessary for the operation of the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement; and

controlling and coordinating operations and activities on each apron, under the supervision of the Argentine ANAC.
Term
The concession is for an initial period of 30 years through February 13, 2028. Pursuant to Section 5.2 of the AA2000 Concession Agreement and Section 26.3 of Decree 1799/07, subject to the prior authorization of the Argentine Government and fulfillment of certain conditions by AA2000, we may extend the term of the concession for an additional period of up to 10 years. We have made a formal request to the ORSNA to extend the term of the concession for the additional 10-year period ending February 13, 2038. We can provide no assurances that the Argentine Government will grant our request or on what conditions. However, pursuant to Section 5.2 of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, if the concession is extended, the Argentine Government has reserved the right to maintain, modify or eliminate the exclusivity granted to the concession. The ORSNA may require us to continue complying with the terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement for a term of no more than 12 months following the termination of the AA2000 Concession Agreement. In such a case, the ORSNA shall have to expressly notify us of its decision no less than six months prior to the termination of the AA2000 Concession Agreement.
Property
Pursuant to the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the Argentine Government transferred to us all of its personal property and the right to use real property in connection with the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement for the term of the concession. Under the terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we are required to use the real property to satisfy all airport service needs and we are required to provide for the ongoing maintenance of the property. However, we have the right to grant subconcessions or otherwise allow third parties to use the real property, subject to the prior notification to the ORSNA. In

TABLE OF CONTENTS
the event of the destruction of all or part of the real property, we are responsible for the payment of all expenses related to the repair or replacement of the property except for damages that occur in connection with acts of God or a force majeure event or if the damaged property is not necessary for complying with our obligations under the AA2000 Concession Agreement. If any event occurs during the term of the AA2000 Concession Agreement that makes the continued use of any property impossible, we are required to return such property to the Argentine Government and will have no recourse against the Argentine Government for the damages we suffer. We are also required under the terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement to grant to the Argentine Air Force free of charge the space necessary at each airport under the AA2000 Concession Agreement to conduct its assigned duties under the AA2000 Concession Agreement and Argentine law. The Argentine ANAC is responsible for all costs and maintenance in connection with the space provided to it. At the end of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we are required to transfer all personal and real property, together with any improvements thereto, back to the Argentine Government.
Under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we may suggest the substitution of one or more airports by building new airports during the term of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, when such substitution is beneficial for customers in terms of price and service quality, subject to the ORSNA’s prior authorization. In such cases, the airports being substituted shall be returned to the Argentine Government simultaneously with the new airport’s commencement of operations. In addition, the ORSNA may add or remove airports from the AA2000 Concession Agreement with our prior consent. Airports may also be removed from AA2000 Concession Agreement when they are no longer in use.
Exclusivity
Under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the Argentine Government cannot, under any circumstances, affect our exclusive rights or affect the economic equilibrium of the AA2000 Concession Agreement.
Liabilities
Under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we are liable for all damages caused to the Argentine Government and/or third parties as a consequence of our performance of the AA2000 Concession Agreement and our failure to perform our obligations thereunder.
Penalties
Under the terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the ORSNA is required to approve a regulation regarding penalties applicable to us. On December 13, 2004, the ORSNA issued Resolution No. 88/2004, approving the Rules on Penalties for Infringements of the Concessionaire of the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement ( Régimen de Sanciones de Aplicación al Concesionario del Grupo “A” de Aeropuertos del Sistema Nacional de Aeropuertos ). In the event that we breach any of our obligations under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the ORSNA has the right to impose monetary fines as it deems appropriate. In addition, in accordance with the provisions of the AA2000 Concession Agreement and the Final Memorandum of Agreement, delays in implementing the investment plan according to the schedule would result in the ORSNA’s imposition of a penalty equal to 10% of the value of the work that is delayed, which could be collected directly by the ORSNA against the performance guarantee, as discussed further below. Any monetary fines imposed by the ORSNA would only become due and payable after a final administrative decision.
Service Standards
Under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we have agreed to adopt certain standards for our airports regarding design, construction, operation, administration, maintenance, renewal, improvement, development, equipment and systems as reasonably established by the ORSNA in accordance with guidelines developed by IATA and ICAO using similar airports as a reference based on their type, size and passenger traffic. In connection with monitoring our compliance with these standards, the ORSNA shall have the right to inspect all the airports managed by us. The ORSNA is not required to notify us in advance of its inspection. Such inspections are to be carried out at least annually for each airport with passenger traffic greater than 750,000 per year.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Performance Guarantee and Guarantee for the Performance of the Works Foreseen in the AA2000 Concession Agreement
Under the terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we are required to maintain a performance guarantee in the amount of at least AR$30 million (U.S.$1.9 million) as security for the timely fulfillment of all of our obligations under the AA2000 Concession Agreement. The amount of the guarantee is to be kept constant during the term of the AA2000 Concession Agreement. In the event that the ORSNA collects part or all of the guarantee, we are required to restore the full amount of the guarantee within 30 days from the date of collection and to pay the Argentine Government interest in an amount equal to LIBOR plus 2.0% from the fifth day following such collection until the date that the guarantee is restored. We may, with the approval of the ORSNA, pledge securities, assets, mortgages and surety bonds to satisfy our guarantee requirement. In this regard, we obtained a surety bond in the amount of AR$410.6 million (U.S.$25.8 million).
In addition, we are required to annually establish, prior to March 31 of each year, a guarantee in the amount of 50% of the annual investment plan required under the AA2000 Concession Agreement in order to guarantee our compliance with the investment plan for such year. We may, with the approval of the ORSNA, pledge securities, assets, mortgages and surety bonds to satisfy our guarantee requirement. We obtained a surety bond in the amount of AR$1.5 billion (U.S.$94.4 million) to comply with our obligation for 2017.
Technical Expert Requirement
Under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we are required to have as a shareholder, at all times, a technical expert who has expertise in operating and managing airports. Under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, any shareholder who has held at least 10.0% of our share capital for a minimum of five years is considered a technical expert. Any substitution of a shareholder that qualifies as a technical expert must be previously approved by the ORSNA. Since CASA and CAS have owned at least 45.9% and 29.8% of AA2000’s common shares, respectively, for over five years, they are deemed technical experts.
Maintenance of Insurance
The Concession Agreement requires us to maintain a civil insurance policy covering personal and property damages, loss or injury in an amount equal to at least AR$300.0 million (U.S.$18.9 million) throughout the term of the Argentine Concession. We are also required to maintain worker’s compensation insurance in accordance with Argentine law. We have taken out a civil liability insurance policy in our name as well as in the ORSNA’s and the Argentine Government’s names in the amount of U.S.$500.0 million covering liabilities that may arise under civil law in connection with the management of our airports and the development of works in our airports.
Collateral Assignment of Revenue
We may collaterally assign revenue derived from the concession, in order to obtain the necessary resources for the fulfillment of our obligations. Such assignment cannot affect the Specific Allocation of Revenue, as defined in the AA2000 Concession Agreement and described in “—Specific Allocation of Revenue,” or the resources foreseen for the financing of the investment plan detailed in the Final Memorandum of Agreement. In addition, collateral assignment of revenue that is made into a trust may remain in effect even upon an early termination of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, as long as the application of the funds thereunder is audited by the Argentine Government and/or by a consulting firm hired for such purpose that is satisfactory to the Argentine Government. Such collateral assignment must be previously authorized by a resolution of the ORSNA, which is responsible for the auditing of the application of the funds. On January 17, 2017, the ORSNA issued Resolution No. 1/2017, pursuant to which it authorized the collateral assignment of proceeds from the Argentine Notes up to an amount equal to U.S.$400 million as long as, after such assignment, AA2000 would have sufficient funds to cover basic operating costs.
150

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Additionally, according to the AA2000 Concession Agreement, a collateral assignment cannot, under any circumstances, decrease the quality of our services or affect the fulfillment of our contractual obligations. Moreover, the collateral assignment must recognize the powers and privileges of the Argentine Government set forth in the AA2000 Concession Agreement and must guarantee that no rights or actions that jeopardize the continuity of the aeronautical public services are exercised. According to the AA2000 Concession Agreement, while a collateral assignment remains in place, we shall have no right to indemnification for the investments secured by the relevant collateral assignment. Once the collateral assignment is terminated, we shall be paid the relevant indemnification amount corresponding to such investments net of the amounts transferred to and applied by the trust.
Assignment of Concession Agreement
The AA2000 Concession Agreement may not be assigned to any third party without the prior consent of the ORSNA and the Argentine Government. We are authorized to grant concessions relating to commercial operation of the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement to third parties during the term of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, including the execution of subcontracts with, and the granting of permits to, third parties in order to exploit AA2000’s rights emerging from the provision of the commercial services under the AA2000 Concession Agreement. We are required to inform the ORSNA of our intentions prior to the execution of subcontracts or the granting of the permits. The ORSNA may object to any assignment if it considers it to be insufficient or against the best interests of the management, operation or functioning of the airports.
Previous Subconcessions
Pursuant to the bidding documentation for our concessions in Argentina, we were required to maintain in effect certain subconcessions granted by the Argentine Government for the provision of commercial activities within our airports that were in effect at the time we commenced our activities at the airports until the expiration of such agreements’ terms. After the expiration of their terms, such subconcessions will belong to us. We may decide to continue such activities ourselves, continue with the existing providers or enter into new agreements with third parties to provide such services. We describe below the most important agreements that are currently in effect.

Agreement with Intercargo: On November 20, 1990, the Argentine Government granted a concession to Intercargo for a period of 20 years. Intercargo provides assistance with the connection of aircraft to terminals through passenger walkways, for arriving and departing passengers, in 16 of our airports. Intercargo also provides additional services such as ramp services, loading and unloading of luggage, mail and cargo, among other services.
Intercargo had executed an agreement with the Argentine Government providing for the payment of monthly fees of U.S.$156,000 for ramp services and U.S.$8,000 for the use of space within our airports. Such agreements were assigned to us when we took over the operations of the airports. As a result of certain negotiations following the Argentina peso devaluation, Intercargo currently pays to us an additional monthly fee of U.S.$156,740 and, every six (6) months, pays us the difference between such amounts and the amount resulting from the calculation using the current market exchange rate. The agreement with Intercargo expired on November 19, 2010. In May 2011, through Resolution No. 421/2011, the Argentine ANAC approved a new fee structure for the services rendered by Intercargo, therefore tacitly renewing ( tácita reconducción ) this subconcession. In June 2011, we challenged such Resolution with the Argentine ANAC. On December 31, 2012, we entered into a new agreement with Intercargo which expired on September 31, 2015. In March 2016, we also challenged Resolution No. 421/2011 with the ORSNA. As of the date of this prospectus, the Argentine ANAC and the ORSNA have not issued resolutions to our challenges to Resolution No. 421/2011 and Intercargo continues making monthly payments to us as described herein. Furthermore, we are currently negotiating the terms of a new agreement with Intercargo regarding ramp services and the use of space within our airports.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Agreement with Interbaires: On April 24, 1990, the Argentine Government granted a 20-year concession to Interbaires, which may be automatically extended for an additional 10-year term. Interbaires operates the duty free shops at Ezeiza, Aeroparque and the airports of Córdoba, Bariloche, Mendoza, Mar del Plata and Iguazú. AA2000 agreed to extend the concession on May 4, 2010. The additional term under which Interbaires will continue providing services to us consists of an additional 17 years, two months and 29 days, and expires on February 8, 2028. Interbaires pays us a monthly royalty fee equal to 15% of its total gross revenue, net of VAT.

Agreement with Gate Gourmet (previously Buenos Aires Catering): On June 8, 1989, the Argentine Government granted a concession to Buenos Aires Catering for an indefinite period of time. Such concession was terminated in 2000, when we granted them a commercial use permit. In 2005, we entered into an agreement with Gate Gourmet, which substituted the previous agreement and granted such company an exploitation and commercial use permit for the provision of catering services in aircraft, laundry services, catering for third parties delivered outside the airports and training courses, among other services. Such agreement shall expire on February 29, 2028. Pursuant to such agreement, Gate Gourmet is required to pay us a monthly fee of 10% of the gross amounts invoiced by such company for the provision of catering services, 5% of the gross amounts invoiced for laundry services, 1.5% of the gross amounts invoiced for the renting of space for training courses and 1.5% of the gross amounts invoiced for catering to third parties delivered outside the airports.
Share Transfer Restrictions
AA2000’s shares may not be pledged or encumbered without prior authorization from the ORSNA. The pledging or refraining from pledging shares or other assets may not be regarded as a condition precedent for fulfillment of investment commitments, and may not serve as justification for failing to fulfill the commitments assumed under the AA2000 Concession Agreement in a proper and timely manner.
The shareholders of AA2000 can only change their stake ownership or sell their shares upon prior authorization from the ORSNA. AA2000 cannot merge or spin off during the term of the AA2000 Concession Agreement.
Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
The AA2000 Concession Agreement is governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Argentina. The parties to the AA2000 Concession Agreement agree to accept the jurisdiction of the competent federal courts of the City of Buenos Aires.
Miscellaneous Provisions
Under the terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we and the Argentine Government have additional rights and obligations, including the following:
We are permitted to use and manage airports other than the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement with the prior authorization of the Argentine Government;
In order to encourage the performance of new works in the airports, we may stipulate in agreements with third parties aimed at rendering services which require the performance of new works, upon the prior authorization of the ORSNA, that these agreements shall continue in effect in the event of an early termination of the AA2000 Concession Agreement. In such a case, the Argentine Government or its assignee shall be subrogated in our rights and obligations under such agreements; and
The Argentine Government, through the Secretary of Transportation, is required to establish a procedure for governing slot allocation at each apron.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Specific Allocation of Revenue
Under the terms of the Final Memorandum of Agreement, we are required to, on a monthly basis, allocate an amount equal to 15% (in Argentine pesos) of the total revenue derived from the AA2000 Concession Agreement (“Specific Allocation of Revenue”), pursuant to the following percentages:

11.25% of total revenue to a trust for the development of the Argentine National Airport System to fund capital expenditures for the Argentine National Airport System. The Secretary of Transportation, following the ORSNA’s approval, will determine which construction projects within the Argentine National Airport System shall be implemented with such funds, whether at airports operated by us or not.

1.25% of total revenue to a fund to study, control and regulate the AA2000 Concession, which shall be administered and managed by the ORSNA.

2.5% of total revenue to a trust for investment commitments for the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement.
The Specific Allocation of Revenue is set forth in a trust agreement for the development of the Argentine National Airport System executed on December 29, 2009, between us and Banco Nación, as trustee (“Development Trust”). See “—Development Trust” below.
However, for the purpose of calculating the Specific Allocation of Revenue, we do not take into account our revenue derived from reimbursement of expenses by our subconcessionaire’s, revenue derived from Construction services under IFRIC 12, and the revenue resulting from our contributions to the Development Trust aimed at investments in our airports equivalent to 2.5% of the total revenue derived from the AA2000 Concession Agreement.
Investment Plan
Under the terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we are required to make capital expenditures in accordance with our investment plan submitted with the Final Memorandum of Agreement, which sets forth our required investment commitments for the period from 2006 through the end of the AA2000 Concession Agreement in 2028. Under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, our total required investment commitments from January 2006 until 2028 are AR$2.2 billion (U.S.$733.3 million) (calculated in December 2005 values). As of September 30, 2017, we have invested AR$2.1 billion (U.S.$700.0 million) (calculated in December 2005 values) under our investment plan. Our investments have thus far been financed by cash generated by our operations and the net proceeds from our issuance of indebtedness.
Compliance with the investment plan was evaluated after the first five-year period following the effective date of the Final Memorandum of Agreement. The first five-year period ran from December 13, 2007 until December 31, 2012, while the second five-year period overlapped with the first five-year period and ran from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2015. For the period from January 1, 2016 through the end of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the investment plan will be revised and approved by the ORSNA every five years, notwithstanding other adjustments that the ORSNA may apply within its annual review of the economic equilibrium. The investments contemplated in the five-year plans submitted to the ORSNA will be directed, in all cases, to cover operating needs and capacity and demand increases, as well as the fulfillment of international quality and safety standards within our airports. Each successive investment plan will take into account our revenue and expenses as they relate to the financial projections set forth in the AA2000 Concession Agreement. We may not commence works that are not authorized by the ORSNA and included in the applicable investment plan. We are required to present, pursuant to the procedures established by the ORSNA, each five-year investment plan to the ORSNA by January 31 of the year prior to the year in which the investment plan will come into effect. If the ORSNA comments on the investment plan, we are required to modify the investment plan in accordance with the comments or we will be deemed to have breached the AA2000 Concession Agreement. In addition, the ORSNA will specify the rules governing the authorization of our related construction.
Under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the ORSNA may revise the timing of the works contemplated in the applicable investment plan and may also modify the investment plan to require additional works, provided that such modifications may not require investment commitments in excess of those already contemplated for the relevant annual period.
153

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Works performed in accordance with the investment plan are entered in an investment registry maintained by the ORSNA, which catalogues both the physical progress and economic investments made under the investment plan. We are required to provide all the necessary documentation and any other data or reports requested by the ORSNA with respect to the investment registry.
Master Plan
Under the terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we are also required to establish a master plan for each of our airports, which shall be approved and can only be subsequently amended by the ORSNA. Each master plan sets forth the investment commitments to be received by each airport over the term of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, taking into account the expected demand for aeronautical and commercial services.
Financial Projections
The AA2000 Concession Agreement requires us to submit to the ORSNA financial projections (“Financial Projection of Income and Expenses”) of our income, operational expenses, investment obligations and the procedure for paying balances and mutual claims during the term of the AA2000 Concession Agreement. See “—The AA2000 Concession Agreement—Withdrawal and Settlement of Claims.” The AA2000 Concession Agreement contemplates annual revisions to the Financial Projection of Income and Expenses in order to preserve the stipulated economic equilibrium to be made during March of each year. All changes to the projections are contemplated to be effective as of April 1 of the same year, although as of the date of this Prospectus, the yearly adjustments for 2016 were not yet effective.
Economic Equilibrium
Under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the ORSNA must annually review the Financial Projection of Income and Expenses in order to verify and preserve the equilibrium of the variables on which it was originally based. The “economic equilibrium” derives from, and is determined in accordance with, the Financial Projection of Income and Expenses and the initial investment, as determined in Annex V of Decree no. 1799107 and subsequent regulations, including ORSNA Note No. 152/08. During each annual review, amounts previously included in the Financial Projection of Income and Expenses as projections are replaced with our actual results of operations and investments for each relevant period. Our actual results of operations and investments for any year are adjusted to eliminate the effects of inflation for such year in accordance with a formula set forth in the Final Memorandum of Agreement, in order for the Financial Projection of Income and Expenses to be restated in December 2005 values. The ORSNA then determines a new set of projections through the term of the AA2000 Concession which, together with our past results of operations, may result in an economic equilibrium. The three principal factors that determine economic equilibrium are the payments we make to the Argentine Government, the fees we charge airlines and passengers for aeronautical services (such as passenger use fees and aircraft landing and parking fees) and the investments that we are required to make under the AA2000 Concession. The ORSNA then determines the adjustments to be made to these three factors that would be needed, if any, to achieve economic equilibrium through the term of the AA2000 Concession. The only factor that has been adjusted in the past has been the fees that we are permitted to charge for aeronautical services and the additional investment commitments.
In addition, we may propose additional charges not included in the AA2000 Concession Agreement whenever such charges are for technical and financial improvements to the rendering of services to users and air operators. In the event we engage in or offer new or additional services not expressly contemplated in the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we may also request the ORSNA to approve such services and set additional fees for such services when the application of such additional fees results in better service for the airlines and the passengers using our airports.
Since 2012, the ORSNA has reviewed the Financial Projection of Income and Expenses four times through Resolution 115/12, dated November 7, 2012, Resolution No. 44/14, dated March 31, 2014, Resolution No. 167/15, dated November 20, 2015, and Resolution No. 100/2016, dated November 25, 2016.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 100/2016, the ORSNA retroactively approved the Financial Projection of Income and Expenses for the period of 2015, according to the following rules:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to re-establish the economic equilibrium of the Financial Projection of Income and Expenses through an adjustment in aeronautical fees; and

to maintain the benefit airlines paying on time are entitled to under Resolution No. 10/09, dated January 28, 2009, pursuant to which such airlines pay fees equivalent to 70.0% of the international aeronautical charges set forth in Annex II of the Final Memorandum of Agreement, instead of paying the fees established by ORSNA Resolution No. 101/2016, which became effective as of January 1, 2017.
In addition, by means of Resolution No. 101/2016, the ORSNA approved a 14.0% decrease in the international passenger use fees from U.S.$57.0 to U.S.$49.0 and a 150.0% increase in the rate of the domestic passenger use fees from AR$20.00 to AR$74.33. We filed a claim with the ORSNA regarding the adjustments to the fees approved by Resolution No. 101/2016 which, as of the date of this prospectus, has not been resolved.
Withdrawal and Settlement of Claims
As a result of Argentina’s 2001-2002 economic crisis, we and the Argentine Government, among other parties, had several claims against each other for breach of payment obligations under the AA2000 Concession Agreement. As a result of the withdrawal of such claims, we and the Argentine Government agreed that the total amount to be paid by us to the Argentine Government was AR$849.1 million, which we reflected in AA2000’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2006. We also agreed that this amount would be settled as follows:

23.0% (AR$195.0 million) (U.S.$45.3 million), was fully satisfied in 2011;

18.6% (AR$158.0 million) (U.S.$36.7 million) through the issue of convertible notes, which were converted into shares of AA2000 in December 2011; and

58.4% (AR$496.1 million) (U.S.$115.3 million) was capitalized through the delivery to the Argentine Government of 496,161,413 preferred shares which are convertible into common shares of AA2000. Such preferred shares have a nominal value of AR$1 and have no voting rights. In addition, such shares are redeemable by us at any time at nominal value plus accrued interest. Beginning in 2020, the Argentine Government will be able to convert all of the preferred shares into common shares of AA2000 with a nominal value of one peso each, up to a maximum amount of 12.5% per year of the total amount of the initial preferred shares issued to the Argentine Government to the extent we have not previously redeemed such an annual percentage for that year. At the time of exercising any conversion rights, the Argentine Government shall execute an agreement with other shareholders of AA2000 to secure and maintain the Argentine Government’s level of participation in common shares as a consequence of the conversion. The preferred shares will accrue an annual dividend of 2% of the nominal value of the preferred shares, which shall be paid in kind with delivery of additional preferred shares and will be accumulated in the event we do not have sufficient retained earnings during a given fiscal period. In addition, the preferred shares have a priority over common shares in the event of liquidation.
The decisions to increase AA2000’s corporate capital, issue preferred shares and issue the convertible notes were authorized by the ORSNA under Resolution No. 26/2008, dated April 25, 2008. In turn, these were authorized by the Argentine Securities and Exchange Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores or “CNV”) on June 9, 2008, and registered before the Mercantile Registry on June 19, 2008, under No. 12,201, Corporations Book No. 40.
The preferred shares will be considered part of the shareholder’s equity of AA2000 so long as they are not redeemed by us. The debts and commitments are reflected in our Audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements.
Regulation of Fees
The AA2000 Concession Agreement establishes the maximum fees that we may charge to aircraft operators and passengers for aeronautical services that principally consist of passenger use fees for the use of the airports, which are charged to each departing passenger and vary depending on whether the passenger’s

TABLE OF CONTENTS
flight is an international, regional or domestic flight, and aircraft fees, which are charged for aircraft landing and aircraft parking and vary depending on whether the flight is international or domestic, among other factors. In accordance with its annual review of our financial projections, the ORSNA may adjust the maximum fees which we may charge, taking into account increases in air traffic, improvements in efficiency, increases in taxes, the level of services provided, as well as projected investment levels under the master plan and the need to preserve the economic equilibrium of the AA2000 Concession Agreement. See “—Financial Projections” above. The implementation of such fees generally occurs over different periods of time following effectiveness of the resolution authorizing such fees. In addition, from time to time as established by the ORSNA, we may set fees for arrangements not contemplated under the AA2000 Concession Agreement when the implementation of such additional charges represents technical and financial improvements in the provision of services to airlines and passengers. Under Argentine law, we have the right to collect all passenger use fees and aircraft fees.
Pursuant to ORSNA Resolutions Nos. 10/09, 126/11, 45/14, 168/15 and 101/2016, airlines that pay aircraft landing fees on time benefit from a discount pursuant to which such airlines pay fees equivalent to 70.0% of the international aeronautical fees set forth in Annex II of the Final Memorandum of Agreement, irrespective of the fees set forth in each of such resolutions. With respect to the fees set forth by ORSNA Resolution No. 101/2016, which are currently in place, the discount entails a 48.42% effective discount on landing fees, and a 42.35% effective discount on parking fees. We filed a claim with the ORSNA regarding the fee adjustments approved by Resolution No. 101/2016, which became effective on January 1, 2017. As of the date of this prospectus, our claim has not been resolved by the ORSNA. See “—Financial Projections” above.

Aircraft parking fees for international flights are charged to all commercial and private aircrafts, with the exception of aircrafts that weigh less than five tons. Aircraft parking fees for domestic flights are charged to all commercial and private aircraft, with the exception of aircraft that weigh less than five tons. Aircrafts that weigh less than five tons pay the minimum fee set forth above, only when parking time is greater than 15 days within a one-month period. Aircraft parking fees for international and domestic flights for Ezeiza Airport and Aeroparque Airport are charged to aircrafts parked in an operative apron; aircraft parking fees for international and domestic flights for aircraft parked in a remote apron are charged the fees corresponding to Category I. Free parking time is not applicable, irrespective of whether the flight is international or domestic, or commercial (whether in regular flight or not) or private.
Commercial Revenue
Fees for commercial services may be freely established by us. However, under the terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we are required to submit to the ORSNA any information it requests in connection with our agreements with third parties for the provision of commercial services within 30 days of the execution of such agreements. If the ORSNA objects to the terms of an agreement, it may request that the agreement be terminated. Either we or the third party may challenge such request in an administrative proceeding to be decided by the ORSNA, which is subject to further administrative proceedings and judicial review.
Termination by the Argentine Government upon breach by AA2000
The Argentine Government may terminate the AA2000 Concession Agreement upon the existence of the following conditions:

if we repeatedly breach, as determined by the ORSNA, any of our obligations under the AA2000 Concession Agreement and the breach is not cured within the time period specified by the ORSNA in its notice of the breach;

if the cumulative amount of fines (affirmed by final administrative ruling) imposed on us exceeds 20% of our annual gross revenue, net of taxes and charges, as calculated by the ORSNA at the end of each fiscal year;

if any of our shareholders encumber or allow to be encumbered in any manner AA2000’s shares without the ORSNA’s consent, and do not secure the discharge of the encumbrance within a time period specified by the ORSNA;

if we fail to pay the Specific Allocation of Revenue in due manner and time;

if our shareholders approve, without the ORSNA’s consent, an amendment to our bylaws or a stock issuance that alters or permits alterations of the shareholdings existing at the time of incorporation, on the terms established under the AA2000 Concession Agreement; or

if our shares are transferred and no technical expert remains a shareholder without the prior approval from the ORSNA.
158

TABLE OF CONTENTS
If the Argentine Government elects to terminate the AA2000 Concession Agreement (even due to our breach), it is required to pay us the value of the aeronautical investments we have made that have not been amortized as of the time the termination is ordered, after deducting the following percentages as compensation for damages incurred:

50.0% during the first 10 years of the AA2000 Concession;

45.0% during the second 10-year period of the AA2000 Concession; and

40.0% during the third 10-year period of the AA2000 Concession.
Aeronautical investments include those investments that are contemplated under the AA2000 Concession Agreement or that are specifically authorized by the ORSNA as aeronautical investments within our airports’ premises, but do not include investments not originally contemplated under the investment plan that are not expressly authorized by the ORSNA. In the event that the Argentine Government elects to terminate the AA2000 Concession Agreement for one of the reasons stated above, the Argentine Government and the ORSNA may also foreclose on and collect the full amount of the performance guarantees.
Termination of the AA2000 Concession Agreement would constitute a default under the Argentine Notes.
Buy-out of the AA2000 Concession Agreement
Under Argentine public law, the Argentine Government has the right to buy out or otherwise terminate concessions, including the AA2000 Concession, at any time if such buy out or termination is made in the public interest. Under the terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the Argentine Government has agreed not to buy-out our concession rights before February 13, 2018. If the Argentine Government elects to buy out the AA2000 Concession Agreement, it is required to indemnify us in an amount equal to the value of the aeronautical investments we have made that have not been amortized as of the time of the buy-out, multiplied by 1.10 plus the value of all other investments made that have not been amortized. The Argentine Government will not indemnify us for investments not foreseen in our investment plan, investments that have not been authorized by the ORSNA or for lost revenue. In addition, the Argentine Government must assume in full any debts incurred by us to acquire goods or services for purposes of providing airport services, except for debts incurred in connection with the investment plan (such as the issuance of the Argentine Notes) for which we would be compensated as part of the indemnification to us by the Argentine Government. However, in accordance with section 30.4 of the Final Memorandum of Agreement, while a collateral assignment of revenue that is made into a trust remains in effect, we will have no right to indemnification for the investments secured by the relevant collateral assignment.
The buy-out of the AA2000 Concession Agreement by the Argentine Government would constitute a default under the Argentine Notes.
Termination by AA2000 upon breach by the Argentine Government
We may demand termination of the AA2000 Concession Agreement if the Argentine Government breaches its obligations in such a manner that prevents us from providing the services required of us under the AA2000 Concession Agreement or which permanently affects the same and if the Argentine Government does not remedy the situation giving rise to such breach within 90 days following notice from us.
Upon our termination of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we shall be entitled to the following damages from the Argentine Government:

if terminated during the first 10-year period of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the amount of our aeronautical investments that have not been amortized as of the time of the termination multiplied by 1.30;

if terminated during the second 10-year period of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the amount of our aeronautical investments that have not been amortized as of the time of the termination multiplied by 1.20; and
159

TABLE OF CONTENTS

if terminated during the third 10-year period of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, the amount of our aeronautical investments that have not been amortized as of the time of the termination multiplied by 1.10.
Additionally, if the Argentine Government’s breach of the AA2000 Concession Agreement that gives rise to our termination of the AA2000 Concession Agreement is caused by the negligence, fault or willful misconduct of the individuals acting on behalf of the Argentine Government, we shall have the right to demand compensation for all damages, with the exception of lost profits, that arise in connection with our obligations under the AA2000 Concession Agreement.
Termination of the AA2000 Concession Agreement shall be deemed a default under the Argentine Notes.
End of Concession
Upon the termination of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we will be required to (i) turn over the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement to the Argentine Government and all property thereof, together with any improvements thereto, at no charge and in good condition, subject to normal wear and tear; (ii) undertake responsibility for payment of all of our debts, which cannot be transferred to the Argentine Government; and (iii) transfer to the Argentine Government or the new grantee of the concession the performance of all services in connection with the AA2000 Concession, including developments and technological breakthroughs and other services related to the performance of the services under the AA2000 Concession Agreement.
In addition, under the terms of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, no agreement entered into by us and in effect as of such date will be transferred to the Argentine Government upon the end of the AA2000 Concession. We are required to include provisions in any such agreements whereby the providers of goods or services undertake to continue with the performance of the relevant agreements for at least 180 days following the end of the AA2000 Concession. Such agreements shall also provide for the Argentine Government’s right to terminate the same.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to section 30.4 of the Final Memorandum of Agreement, a collateral assignment of revenue that is made into a trust may remain in effect even upon an early termination of the AA2000 Concession Agreement, as long as the application of funds thereunder is audited by the Argentine Government and/or by a consulting firm, hired for such purpose and satisfactory to the Argentine Government. The collateral assignment of revenue must be previously authorized by a resolution of the ORSNA. On January 17, 2017, the ORSNA issued Resolution No. 1/2017, pursuant to which it authorized the collateral assignment of revenue under the Argentine Notes, up to an amount equal to U.S.$400 million. While such a collateral assignment remains in place, we will have no right to indemnification for the investments secured by the relevant collateral assignment. See “—Collateral Assignment of Revenue.”
Development Trust
On December 29, 2009, we, as trustor, and Banco Nación, as trustee, entered into the Development Trust, aimed at managing and allocating the funds to be transferred by us under the Specific Allocation of Revenue and the Allocated Revenues under the Mutual Claim Settlement Procedure. The Secretary of Transportation and the ORSNA also executed the Development Trust acknowledging and providing their consent with the terms and conditions therein.
Under the Development Trust, the following trust funds were established:

“Trust Fund to Study, Control and Regulate the Concession,” consisting of the assignment in trust of 1.25% of AA2000’s total revenues, which shall be designated to carry out studies on the control and regulation of the concession as required by the ORSNA;

“Trust Fund for the Payment of the Unpaid Amounts Arising from Mutual Claims,” consisting of Allocated Revenues under the Mutual Claim Settlement Procedure, which shall be designated to pay the amount of AR$195.0 million (U.S.$51.3 million) plus interest at a 2% annual rate, owed to the
160

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Argentine Government according to the provisions set forth in the Final Memorandum of Agreement. See “—The AA2000 Concession Agreement—Withdrawal and Settlement of Claims.” In turn, such funds shall be used in connection with infrastructure projects at airports of the Argentine National Airport System not operated by us;

“Trust Fund for Funding Infrastructure works of the Argentine National Airport System,” consisting of the assignment in trust of 11.25% of AA2000’s total revenues, 70.0% of which is to be contributed to finance infrastructure airport works and to improve the services provided in airports of the Argentine National Airport System and 30.0% of which is to be contributed directly to ANSES;

“Trust Fund for Funding Infrastructure Works in airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement,” consisting of the assignment in trust of 2.5% of AA2000’s total revenues derived from services under the AA2000 Concession, which shall be designated to finance works included in each five-year investment plan;

“Trust Fund for Infrastructure Airport Works Derived from Potential Charges and Tariff Increases for Specific Allocations,” consisting of the assignment in trust of 100% of the amounts deriving from specific charges and tariff increases that may be set in the future, net of collection expenses, which shall be designated to finance airport infrastructure works as it shall be detailed in the regulations under which such specific tariff and charges are created. Pursuant to Resolutions No. 118/12, as amended, and 45/14, the ORSNA created two specific trust funds: (a) “Trust Fund for Works of 2012 Project” and (b) “Trust Fund for the Reinforcement of Significant Works in airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement.” Under these trusts, after giving effect to the Specific Allocation of Revenue detailed above, we must assign: (1) 100% of the difference between the increase of the passenger use fee approved by the ORSNA for the 2011–2012 period, in comparison with the fees in effect as of 2010, for the “Trust Fund for Works of 2012 Project,” until we finished the works under 2012 investment plan or the expiration of a 30-year period, whichever occurs first; and (2) 10.72% of the passenger use fees approved by the ORSNA for the 2011–2012 revision period, for the “Trust Fund for the Reinforcement of Significant Works in airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement” (which include works that were not previously specified in the AA2000 Concession Agreement, nor in the Final Memorandum of Agreement), until the expiration of the concession or the expiration of a 30-year period, whichever occurs first.
The term of the above-mentioned trust funds shall not exceed 30 years and shall be terminated if the concession is terminated for any cause, except for the “Trust Fund for the Payment of the Unpaid Amounts Arising from Mutual Claims,” which terminated in 2011, and the “Trust Fund for Infrastructure Airport Works Derived from Potential Charges and Tariff Increases for Specific Allocations,” which shall have the duration set forth under the regulations pursuant to which such tariff and charges are created.
The ORSNA shall calculate the amounts that we shall transfer on a monthly basis to Banco Nación pursuant to the procedure for Specific Allocation of Revenues approved by ORSNA Resolution No. 64/2008, dated August 7, 2008. The amount calculated shall be communicated to us and to Banco Nación during the first 15 days of each month. We shall deposit the respective amounts during the following 48 business hours after being notified of the amount by the ORSNA. In the event of payment default, the amounts will accrue interest at a rate equal to one and a half times the discount rate for commercial transactions of Banco Nación in pesos.
The Development Trust sets forth that we are not obligated to make any additional capital contributions to the above-mentioned trust funds. In the event such trust funds are insufficient to meet their purpose due to a cause not related to us, the amounts required to fulfill the commitments undertaken shall be paid by the Argentine Government.
Contributions to the Development Trust
Pursuant to the Development Trust, the Specific Allocation of Revenue and the Allocated Revenues under the Mutual Claim Settlement Procedure retroactively accrued from January 1, 2006, through the execution date of the Development Trust would be transferred to the Development Trust pursuant to the conditions and methodologies to be set forth by the ORSNA, with the approval of the Secretary of Transportation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The Development Trust provides that we may pay the amounts in cash payable to the Development Trust through the assignment of credits owed to us originated in aeronautical services and/or commercial services within the AA2000 Concession, subject to the ORSNA’s prior authorization.
Assessment of the Regulatory and Concessions Framework
Pursuant to Resolution No. 8/2017 dated March 17, 2017, the ORSNA initiated an international procurement process for hiring consultancy services to conduct a comprehensive study of the legal framework governing the AA2000 Concession Agreement, including a comparative analysis of the regulatory frameworks existing in other countries. It is expected to be completed within a six-month term from the date of commencement. The tasks to be performed under the consultancy services include:
A survey of the current condition of infrastructure of the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, including their needs of upgrading, standardization and adequacy to current legislation as well as an assessment of new investments in terms of current and future capacity, based on demand forecasting in a short, medium and long term.
An analysis of operational, security and planning matters in airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement as compared to the current international trends, including the analysis of Master Plans and the pertinence of the incorporation, substitution or removal of airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement.
A critical analysis of the economic and finance regulations in force, stating pros and cons and including proposal of alternatives as regards economic regulation, rates and charges.
A comprehensive survey of the legal regime in force in the AA2000 Concession, compared with the regulation of airport activity in other countries. The comparative legal analysis of the Argentine regulatory model shall include, among others, the following topics:

The main duties of the concessionaire, such as the Investment Plan.

The Specific Allocation of Revenues as compared to the fee (canon) system or other compensation mechanisms. Analysis of the most beneficial system for the interest of the State. A survey on the amounts effectively deposited by the concessionaire to date.

The regulations regarding approval, supervision and authorization of use of works ( Reglamento para la Autorización, Fiscalización, Habilitación y Aprobación de Obras ) in the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement.

The regulations for the registration of investments (Reglamento de Registro de Inversiones) and the regulatory accounting rules ( Manual de Contabilidad Regulatoria ), including an assessment of the enforcement of these regulations and compliance with the corresponding procedures.

The Guidelines for the Review of the Financial Projection of Income and Expenses ( Pautas y Mecanismos de Revisión de la Proyección Financiera de Ingresos y Egresos de la Concesión ).

The Rules on Penalties applicable to both the Concessionaire and third-party providers that develop activities in the airports. A further analysis on the legal regime applicable to the providers that develop non-aeronautical activities in the airports is also required.

The applicable regulations for the approval of the Land Use Plan and of the Master Plans.

Evaluation of the legal feasibility in accordance with the international best practices that the Argentine Government re-assume direct management or exploitation of airports in the cases and matters it considers pertinent.
The Argentine Government may adopt new measures upon completion of this study which could affect our business. While the current administration has publicly stated that it intends to foster long-term investments by assuring a stable and reliable legal framework for investors, we cannot provide any assurance that the Argentine Government will not enact new regulations, seek to renegotiate the AA2000 Concession Agreement and extend its term in order to preserve the economic equilibrium or to pursue its early termination for reasons of public interest. See “—The AA2000 Concession Agreement.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Other airports we operate in Argentina
In addition to the airports operated under the AA2000 Concession Agreement, we also operate the Neuquén Airport, the Bahía Blanca Airport and the Termas de Rio Hondo Airport.
In 2001, the Government of the Province of Neuquén together with the ORSNA awarded to us the concession agreement to operate the Neuquén Airport for an initial term of 20 years, which is set to expire in 2021. Likewise, in 2008 the Municipality of Bahia Blanca together with the ORSNA awarded to us the concession to operate the Bahía Blanca Airport for an initial term of 26 years, which is set to expire on 2033. Both concession agreements provide the possibility of extension upon approval.
We operate the Termas de Rio Hondo Airport in Argentina, pursuant to an agreement between AA2000 and the Province of Santiago del Estero, but there is no written concession agreement with the Argentine Government. As of the date of this prospectus, there are certain regulatory approvals pending to include the Termas de Rio Hondo Airport within the AA2000 Concession Agreement.
The Neuquén Airport, the Bahía Blanca Airport and the Termas de Rio Hondo Airport are not material to our business.
Italy
Headquartered in Florence, TA is the result of the merger of SAT, Galileo Galilei S.p.A. and ADF on June 1, 2015. As a result of the merger, CA Italy, which is 100% owned by CAAP, has a controlling stake of 51.1% of TA. Prior to the merger, SAT and ADF were granted concessions for the management of the Pisa Airport and the Florence Airport, respectively. After the merger, the concessions were transferred to TA. Set forth below is a description of their main terms and conditions, as well as of the relevant regulatory framework.

Powers Reserved to the Italian Government with Respect to Strategic Transport Assets
Pursuant to current laws and regulations, (i) the approval of specific corporate resolutions by companies operating in the energy, transport, and communications sectors, which are understood to be of strategic importance to the nation, and (ii) the acquisition of significant shareholdings in such companies by investors, are subject to special “Golden Powers” of the Italian Government provided under Law Decree 21/2012. Article 2 of Law Decree 21/2012 specifically regulates the special powers of the Italian Government concerning the strategic assets of companies operating in the transport sector. In particular, Article 2 of Law Decree 21/2012 includes the following regulations for identifying:

strategic assets in the transport sector, such as ports and airports, including those necessary to ensure the minimum provision and operation of essential public services, the assets and relationships of strategic importance to the national interest in the transport sector;

the types of acts or transactions within the same group of companies to which the Italian Government’s special powers do not apply; and

the procedures for exercising the special powers in the transport sector.
The “ strategic assets ” in the transport sector have been defined by Article 2 of Presidential Decree No. 85 of March 25, 2014 (the “Presidential Decree 85/2014”) as large networks and plants of national interest, intended to ensure the main trans-European corridors and the related conventional reports, including:

ports of national interest;

airports of national interest; and

national railroad networks of relevance for trans-European networks.
Such regulations apply to TA by virtue of its being an entity that operates the Italian Airports of national interest located in Pisa and Florence. In particular, these provisions state that, in relation to companies that own one or more of these strategic assets, the Italian Government, having assessed the relevant transaction and identified a threat concerning said strategic assets, may:

impose specific conditions on, or (in case the specific conditions are not adequate to protect the essential national interests of defense and national security) veto any resolutions, acts and transactions by any company owning strategic assets that would determine a change in the ownership, control,
164

TABLE OF CONTENTS
availability or transferability of those assets themselves or change their use (including merger or demerger, transfer of the registered office to a foreign country, change of the relevant company’s business purpose, winding up, amendments to the company’s articles of association concerning the limits to the voting rights attaching to the company’s interest or the maximum shareholding which each shareholder may own, transfer of the entire business or of a business division which include the strategic assets, assignment of the strategic assets by way of security, and resolutions concerning the sale of subsidiaries which own strategic assets), where such resolutions, acts or transactions result in an exceptional situation not regulated by national or European laws applicable to the sector which constitute a threat of a serious prejudice to the interest of public safety and operation of the networks and installations, and the continued provision of services (Article 2, paragraph 3);

impose conditions requiring certain buyers outside the European Union to give guarantees in any purchase and for any reason, (Article 2, paragraph 5), of shareholdings in an amount that would give the buyer control of the purchased company, pursuant to Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code and the Consolidated Financial Services Act, if such a purchase poses a serious threat to public interest in the security and operation of networks and installations and the continued provision of services (Article 2, paragraph 6); and

oppose the purchase described before, if such a purchase entails exceptional risks to the protection of public interest relating to the security and operation of networks and installations and continued provision of services, which cannot be mitigated by the buyer committing to guarantee the protection of such interests (Article 2, paragraph 6).
To exercise these special powers, Article 2 of Law Decree 21/2012 provides that:

the operator has an obligation to disclose both any resolutions, acts and transactions that could be subject to the actions described before, and any purchases or transactions that could be subject to the actions described before; and

the Italian Government shall abide by objective and non-discriminatory evaluation criteria in exercising its special powers. The Italian Government is required, in relation to any transaction, to consider the following: (i) in relation to the official position of the European Union, whether there is any reason to believe (a) that connections may exist between the buyer and other countries that do not recognize the principles of democracy or the rule of law, and which may not comply with international law, or that have acted in a way that poses as a threat to the international community, as evidenced by their alliances; or (b) that the buyer has relationships with criminal or terrorist organizations or with persons or entities otherwise related to them; (ii) the suitability of the structure resulting from the legal deed or transaction, considering conditions for financing the acquisition and the economic, financial, technical, and organizational capacity of the buyer to guarantee the security and continuity of provision of services, or provide adequate security and operation of the networks and installations.
Without prejudice to the disclosure obligations set out in Article 2, paragraphs 2 and 5 of Law Decree 21/2012, Article 4 of Presidential Decree 85/2014 provides that:

the special powers apply to the extent that protection of the essential national interests, including those relating to adequate infrastructure development, is not guaranteed by the existence of specific sector regulation, either in the form of a convention connected with a specific concession relationship or otherwise;

certain transactions are excluded from the scope of the special powers, including transactions carried out within the same corporate group, such as mergers, demergers, takeovers, or sales and transfers, including, in certain cases, the sale and transfer of shares; and

such an exclusion is not available when there is information indicating a threat of serious harm to the public interest in the security and operation of the networks and installations and continued provision of services.
The procedures for exercising such special powers in the transport sector have been established by Presidential Decree No. 86 of March 25, 2014 (the “Presidential Decree 86/2014”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS
As discussed above, the Italian Government may exercise its veto power in relation to the adoption of shareholders’ meeting or management body meeting resolutions of companies that own strategic assets in the transport sector in the matters indicated in Article 2, paragraph 2, of Law Decree 21/2012. Accordingly, the company that owns these strategic assets must notify the Prime Minister’s Office ( Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri ) within ten days of the implementation of any such resolution, and must provide the complete set of information concerning the resolution itself  (Article 5, Presidential Decree 86/2014). The Prime Minister’s Office will announce any veto it may issue within 15 business days after being so notified. If additional information is requested by the Prime Minister’s Office, the deadline for giving notice of any veto is postponed once until such requested information is received. The Italian Government’s veto power may also be exercised by imposing specific requirements or conditions if such requirements and conditions are considered to be sufficient to ensure protection of the public interest in the security and operation of the networks and installations and continuous provision of services. If the deadline for announcing any veto expires without any order having been issued, the transaction is deemed approved and can be executed.
Resolutions or acts adopted in violation of the abovementioned veto power are null and void. The Prime Minister’s Office may also require the company and any counterparty to unwind any such transaction at its own expense. Unless the act constitutes a criminal offense, anyone who fails to comply with the measures associated with the exercise of the veto power is subject to monetary administrative fine up to twice the value of the transaction, and at any rate not less than 1% of the total revenues realized by the companies involved during the last financial year in which a financial statement has been approved.
The Italian Government has the power to impose conditions or oppose the acquisition of significant shareholdings attributing control of companies that own assets of strategic importance in the transport sector to a party outside the European Union pursuant to Article 2, paragraph 5, of Law Decree 21/2012. Accordingly, the person or entity outside the European Union that acquires a significant shareholding constituting control of a company that owns strategic assets in the transport sector (Article 4, paragraph 1, Presidential Decree 86/2014) must disclose such a purchase within ten days after the execution of any such transaction to the Prime Minister’s Office, together with all information providing a general description of the merger plan, the buyer, and the scope of its operations. The Prime Minister’s Office will notify the buyer of any conditions it deems necessary to impose or exercise its veto power within 15 business days after such disclosure. Until the expiry of this deadline, the voting rights and those rights other than ownership associated with the shares representing the significant shareholding are suspended.
If the Prime Minister’s Office exercises its power to impose conditions, in the event of breach or violation of such conditions, the voting rights or rights other than ownership of the shares which represent a significant shareholding are suspended for the entire period that the breach or violation continues. Any resolutions adopted with the deciding vote of such shares and the resolutions and acts adopted in violation or in breach of the imposed conditions, are null and void. A buyer that fails to comply with the imposed conditions, unless the act constitutes a criminal offense, is subject to a monetary administrative fine up to twice the value of the transaction and, in any event, no less than 1% of the total revenues realized in the last financial year for which a financial statement has been approved (Article 8, Presidential Decree 86/2014). If the power to oppose the acquisition of the shareholding is exercised, the buyer may not exercise its voting rights of such shares and must sell these shares within one year. If it fails to comply with this obligation, the courts, on request from the Prime Minister’s Office, will order the sale of these shares according to the procedures provided for in Article 2359 of the Italian Civil Code. Any shareholders’ meeting resolutions adopted with the deciding vote of such shares are null and void.
On October 2, 2014, the Prime Ministerial Decree ( Decreto del Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri ) of August 6, 2014 was published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Italy (General Series No. 229). It contains rules for the coordination of the activities of the Prime Minister’s Office necessary to exercise the special powers over company ownership structures in the defense and national security sectors, and over strategic activities in the energy, transport, and telecommunication sectors. These rules specify the Department of the Prime Minister’s Office to which these notifications must be sent, as well as the relevant procedures, and also provide a simplified procedure in the case of intercompany transactions.

Governmental Authorities
Transport Regulatory Authority (Autorità di Regolazione dei Trasporti)
The Transport Regulatory Authority (“TRA”) was established pursuant to Article 37 of Decree-Law 6 December 2011, No. 201 (converted into law, with modifications, by Law No 214 of December 22, 2011).
It is responsible for regulation in the transport sector and access to its infrastructure and ancillary services. Among its tasks are also the definition of the quality levels of transport services and the minimum content of the rights that users can claim against the operators. The TRA reports annually to the Parliament and the President of the Council of Ministries indicating the state of the services.
In the airport sector, the TRA undertakes supervisory duties (Article 71 et seq., Decree-Law No 1/2012), approving the airport regulatory system and the amount of airport charges.
ENAC
ENAC was established on July 25, 1997, under Legislative Decree No. 250/97 as the national authority committed to oversee the technical regulation, oversight and control of civil aviation.
ENAC is responsible for many aspects of the civil aviation regulation including the control and vigilance of the application of the regulatory regimes, and the regulation of the administrative and economic aspects of the air transport system.
Other aspects of the aviation sector that fall within the institutional mandate of ENAC include safety, security control and enforcement of international law, and guaranteeing the quality of the services provided to the user and the protection of the rights of the passenger.
The Pisa Concession Agreement
With the Inter-managerial Decree ( decreto interdirigenziale ) No. 002/2004, the Pisa Airport was assigned to ENAC. On January 11, 1999, SAT filed a request for the granting of the concession for the full management of the Pisa Airport, along with its operations program, which is comprised of the investment plan and business plan for the Pisa Airport. Following the positive results of the assessment, ENAC and SAT executed a concession agreement on December 14, 2001, granting a temporary three-year concession.
On April 14, 2004, ENAC requested that SAT provide an update of the abovementioned program and plans, which SAT filed on January 18, 2005. The submitted documents were reviewed by ENAC in determining the duration of the full management concession, which it determined to be a 40-year duration starting in March 2005. On March 14, 2006, ENAC and SAT entered into a full management concession agreement (“Pisa Concession Agreement”). In light of the changes made to the relevant legal framework under Legislative Decree No. 151/2006, ENAC and SAT executed an updated version of the Pisa Concession Agreement on October 20, 2006.
The concession for Pisa Airport (“Pisa Concession”) was approved on December 7, 2006, with the Inter-Ministerial Decree issued by the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of the Economy and the Ministry of Defense.
On October 9, 2015, ENAC and TA entered into an operating agreement ( contratto di programma ) in order to define TA’s obligations with respect to (i) airport traffic level forecasts, (ii) new construction and extraordinary maintenance works, (iii) the quality levels with respect to environmental protection, (iv) the status of TA’s performance of the obligations arising under the relevant operating agreement for TA’s four-year intervention plan, as well as its quality and environmental protection plan and (v) the fines that would apply to TA in the case of delay in carrying out its obligations arising under the operating agreement, or failure to fulfill such obligations.

The Florence Concession Agreement
On January 19, 1999, ADF filed a request for the granting of the concession for the full management of the Florence Airport, along with its operations program, which is comprised of the relative investment plan and business plan for the Florence Airport. Directive No. 141-T/2000 provided the possibility of a temporary granting of concessions on the basis of a summary evaluation by ENAC of the submitted business plan, which would subsequently proceed to define a definitive duration of the concession following the complete assessment of the provided programs and plans. On April 26, 2001, ENAC determined that the temporary concessions would have a maximum duration of three years.
Following the positive results of the relative assessment, ENAC and ADF executed a concession agreement on December 14, 2001, granting a temporary three year concession. The concession for the Florence Airport was approved on March 11, 2003, with the Inter-Ministerial Decree issued by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of the Economy and Finance (the “Florence Concession Agreement” and jointly with the Pisa Concession Agreement, the “Italian Concession Agreements”).
In order to meet the urgent need to implement the relevant legal framework, the abovementioned Inter-Ministerial Decree provided the extension of the duration of the Florence Concession Agreement to 40 years.

Furthermore, TA is also required to obtain an insurance policy to cover the risks connected to the carrying out of its business and damages that may be incurred by public administrations and entities and/or third parties present in the Florence Airport.
Termination, Revocation and Forfeiture
The Florence Concession Agreement will expire on February 10, 2043.
Revocation and Forfeiture
Pursuant to Article 2 of the Florence Concession Agreement, as necessary for public interest, TA may revoke the Florence Concession Agreement, at which time TA will assume the burden of making all compensatory payments to be determined with the relevant third parties and after consultation with ENAC.
The concession granted may be revoked before its expiration date upon the occurrence of specific events of default, and the Florence Concession Agreement shall be forfeited by TA (and ENAC shall proceed to appoint an officer for the management of the airport) upon the occurrence of the following: (i) the instances provided under the Italian Navigation Code; (ii) serious and breach of the security regulations; (iii) a failure to implement the operations program and investment plan; and (iv) events that indicate that TA is no longer capable of operating the Florence Airport. Furthermore, the Florence Concession Agreement may be automatically forfeited should TA fail to pay the relevant concession fee for a period exceeding 12 months from the provided due date or in the instance of TA being declared bankrupt.
In the instance of forfeiture, ENAC shall regain the rights over the assets which were assigned to TA and shall appoint an officer for the management of the airport. Moreover, TA shall have no right to reimbursement neither for the carried out works nor for the costs it may have incurred in the event of forfeiture.
173

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Should ENAC not determine that a declaration of forfeiture is necessary, the same authority may provide a fine in relation to TA for the payment of a sum equal to a maximum of 50% of the concession fee, plus the payment of security and control costs.
Governing Law
The Florence Concession Agreement is governed by the laws of Italy.
Dispute Resolution
Under the Florence Concession Agreement, ENAC and TA may elect to have a dispute concerning the Florence Concession Agreement be decided by an arbitration panel, without prejudice to their right to file their claims before the competent courts. The arbitration panel shall be composed of three members, of which TA and ENAC may appoint one each and the chairman being appointed by the two selected by TA and ENAC. Should the two arbiters fail to reach an agreement on the appointment of the chairman of the panel, the relative appointment shall be made by the chairman of the Italian State Council ( Consiglio di Stato ).
ENAC has no liability in the disputes between TA, subconcessionaires and third parties that arise in relation to the Florence Concession Agreement.
Brazil
Sources of Regulation
The Brazilian Federal Constitution provides that the Brazilian Government shall, directly or by concessions, authorizations or permissions, explore air and space navigation and all airport infrastructure.
In 1997, Federal Law No. 9,491/1997 was enacted and created the National Privatization Program ( Programa Nacional de Desestatização ) which established the framework for privatizations in Brazil. Since the enactment of the National Privatization Program, the Brazilian privatization process has undergone constant change as economic and political realities shifted.
Until 2011, the construction, operation and exploitation of the airport infrastructure in Brazil was undertaken directly by Infraero, which was established by the Brazilian Government in 1973 to implement, manage, operate and explore, industrially and commercially, all airport infrastructure assigned to it by the Civil Aviation Department of the Republic Presidency. At that time, Infraero directly operated 66 airports, concentrating 97% of the transportation of passengers in Brazil.
However, upon the enactment of Presidential Decrees Nos. 7,205/2010, 7,531/2011, 7,896/2013 and 8,517/2015, the following airports were included in the National Privatization Program and began to be operated by third parties under concession agreements: Natal–Aluízio Alves; São Paulo–Guarulhos; Campinas–Viracopos; Brasilia–Juscelino Kubitschek; Rio de Janeiro–Galeão; Cofins–Tancredo Neves; Porto Alegre–Salgado Filho; Salvador–Luís Eduardo Magalhães; Florianópolis–Hercílio Luz; and Fortaleza–Pinto Martíns.
Although currently Infraero has responsibility to manage, directly or through concession agreements with third parties, a substantial portion of the Brazilian medium and large airport infrastructure, Brazilian laws provide that the Brazilian ANAC has responsibility for creating a standard model for concessions for airport infrastructure and authority to enter into the relevant concession agreements. The Brazilian ANAC was established in 2005 pursuant to Federal Law No. 11,182/2005 that integrates the Federal Public Administration, and since 2016, the Ministry of Transport, Ports and Civil Aviation has been responsible for the regulation and inspection of the civil aviation in Brazil. Notwithstanding the recent privatization of airports in Brazil, the privatization and concession models vary considerably and no definitive privatization standard for airport concessions has been defined by the relevant governmental authorities.
Recent developments
Certain recent rules have changed the regulation of the airport industry and may be applied to the concessions if requested by the relevant concessionaire.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On March 29, 2017, Directive No. 135 of the Ministry of Transport, Ports and Civil Aviation was enacted and established the terms and conditions in connection with the re-profiling of the fixed grant (concession fee) payments related to the concession agreements that have been executed prior to December 31, 2016.

On April 7, 2017, Directive No. 143 of the Ministry of Transport, Ports and Civil Aviation was enacted and established the possibility of commercial agreements being executed with a term of effectiveness that exceeds the term of the concessions.

On May 19, 2017, in order to further the implementation of Directive No. 135, Provisional Executive Order No. 779/2017 was published and provided for the conditions for amendments to the concession agreements executed prior to December 31, 2016, in connection with the re-profiling of the fixed grant (concession fee) payments related to the concession agreements. This Provisional Executive Order is still pending approval by the Brazilian Congress.

On October 26, 2017, Federal Law 13.449 was published and established the conditions for amendments to the concession agreements executed prior to December 31, 2016, in connection with the re-profiling of the fixed grant (concession fee) payments.

On June 25, 2017, Federal Law No. 13,448/2017 was published and brought new alternative solutions for ongoing concessions. Among such solutions is the re-tendering of concession projects, including public private partnerships (“PPPs”). Additionally, such Federal Law sets forth that Brazilian Concession Agreements between the Brazilian Government and concessionaires may be formally amended to contain and arbitration clause permitting resolution of specific claims permitted by law through arbitration. The relevant concessionaire will be required to deposit in advance the costs and expenses of the arbitration, but the final arbitral award may rule that the Brazilian Government shall reimburse the concessionaire for such costs and expenses.
Natal Concession Agreement
The concession agreement for the construction, operation and maintenance of the Natal Airport (the “Natal Concession Agreement”) was awarded in August 2011 to ICASGA, and became effective on January 18, 2012. It was the first federal airport concession granted to the private sector. The initial term of the Natal Concession Agreement is for 28 years and can be extended for another five years if necessary to reestablish economic equilibrium.
Brasilia Concession Agreement
The concession agreement for the construction, operation and maintenance of the Brasilia Airport (“Brasilia Concession Agreement”) was awarded in February 2012 to ICAB, and became effective on July 24, 2012. The initial term of the Brasilia Concession Agreement is for 25 years and can be extended for an additional 5 years if necessary to reestablish economic equilibrium.
The Natal Concession Agreement and the Brasilia Concession Agreement are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “Brazilian Concession Agreements.”
Material Terms and Conditions of the Brazilian Concession Agreements
Under the Natal Concession Agreement, ICASGA shall be responsible for (i) the construction of Natal Airport based on a scope of work prepared by ICASGA and approved by the Brazilian ANAC; and (ii) the maintenance and operation of Natal Airport in accordance with certain parameters provided for under Annex 2 of the Natal Concession Agreement (the “Natal Airport Development Plan”). ICASGA is required to pay the Brazilian ANAC an annual fixed payment adjusted based on the base interest rate of the Central Bank of Brazil in the amount of R$12.0 million (U.S.$3.6 million) as of 2017.

ICAB is required to pay the
175

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Brazilian ANAC an annual fixed payment adjusted by the Consumer Price Inflation Index ( Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo ; or “IPCA”) in the amount of R$253.1 million (U.S.$77.6 million) as of 2017, as well as a variable payment, adjusted by IPCA, as follows: (a) 2% of the annual gross revenues with respect to gross revenues of up to R$363.2 million (amount as of 2012) plus (b) 4.5% of the annual gross revenues with respect to gross revenues above R$363.2 million (amount as of 2012 , if any (the “Variable Payment”).
During the term of the Brazilian Concession Agreements, ICASGA and ICAB shall be responsible for, among other things:

providing adequate service to passengers and users of the airport, as defined in Article 6 of Federal Law 8.987/95 (the “Brazilian Concessions Law”), using all means and resources available, including, but not limited to, making any necessary investments to expand airport operations to sustain the required service levels, based on the existing demand and the provisions set forth in the Natal Airport Development Plan or Brasilia Airport Development Plan, as applicable;

implementing services and management programs, and offering training programs to its employees for purposes of improving services and the convenience of users in order to meet the requirements set forth in the Natal Airport Development Plan or Brasilia Airport Development Plan, as applicable;

providing proper service (according to what the Natal Airport Development Plan or Brasilia Airport Development Plan, as applicable, defines as regular, continuous, efficient, safe, up to date, broad and courteous service), at a fair price, to the general public and airport customers;

performing all services, controls and activities related to the concession agreement, with due care and diligence, employing the best available practices in every task performed;

presenting the Brazilian ANAC with an Infrastructure Management Plan every five years and an annual Service Quality Plan during the term of the ICAB Concession Agreement;

submitting to the approval of the Brazilian ANAC any proposal for the implementation of service improvements and new technologies, as provided for under the Brazilian Concession Agreement and applicable regulations;

developing and implementing plans for dealing with emergencies at the airports, maintaining, for such purposes, human resources and materials required by industry regulations and the Natal Airport Development Plan or Brasilia Airport Development Plan, as applicable; and

meeting minimum corporate capital requirements, as follows: (i) ICASGA must have a minimum subscribed corporate capital in the amount of R$84 million (U.S.$35.6 million), comprised of, at least, R$32.5 million (U.S.$13.8 million) paid-in and R$16 million (U.S.$6.8 million) paid-in cash; and (ii) with respect to ICAB, a minimum subscribed and paid-in corporate capital in the amount of R$243.251 million (U.S.$103.1 million).
Fees
As consideration for the investments and payment obligations assumed by ICASGA and ICAB under the Brazilian Concession Agreements, ICASGA and ICAB are entitled to charge the tariffs (fees contemplated by the Brazilian Concession Agreements and pursuant to applicable law and regulation) and non-tariffs (fees associated with the exploration of other commercial activities) described below:
Tariffs
ICASGA and ICAB are entitled to charge certain tariffs from users and airlines upon use of services, equipment, facilities and installations available at Natal and Brasilia Airports, including:

departure passenger charges;

connection charges (solely with respect to ICAB);

landing fees;
176

TABLE OF CONTENTS

aircraft parking fees;

cargo fees; and

approach and communications fees (solely with respect to ICASGA).
ICASGA and ICAB are prohibited from charging any tariff not provided for in the Brazilian Concession Agreements, or the applicable law and regulation.
Non-Regulated Revenue
Pursuant to the Brazilian Concession Agreements, ICASGA and ICAB may engage in commercial activities that generate non-regulated revenues, as provided under the relevant airport master plan, directly, through subsidiaries or through lease contracts with third parties.
The following airport-related commercial activities are authorized:

ground handling, catering and fueling;

retail, duty free, food and beverage, banking services, lottery and vending machines;

rental of office spaces, warehouses and export processing areas;

car rental, parking, hotels and meeting rooms; and

hotel transfers, city tour and telecommunication services.
Adjustment
Tariffs shall be adjusted annually by IPCA, upon the application of a specific formula that considers the IPCA and the effects of the Q and X Factors, as defined in the Brazilian Concession Agreements. The Brazilian ANAC adopted Factor X as a mechanism to measure positive and negative productivity and efficiency variations and Factor Q as a mechanism to verify compliance with service levels. Adjustment of tariffs under Natal Concession Agreement also considers an additional Factor M, which allows the increase of tariffs when non-tariffs correspond to more than 35% of revenues.
Review of the Concession Parameters
The review of the parameters of the Brazilian Concession Agreements shall be conducted every five years during the concession period and involves the determination of service quality indicators, the methodology of calculation of factors X, Q and the discount rate considered in the calculation of the marginal cash flow used in determining extraordinary reviews.
Extraordinary Review
The extraordinary review is intended to restore the economic and financial equilibrium of the Brazilian Concession Agreements when costs, revenues or gains of ICASGA or ICAB are unbalanced as a result of events with respect to which the Brazilian ANAC is required to bear the risk (e.g., changes in airport security requirements, change in certain rules and regulations, and the existence of archeological sites in the airport area).
In addition, the Natal Airport and Brasilia Airport may make a request for the restoration of economic and financial equilibrium under the Brazilian Concession Agreements if government entities do not complete the works required under the concession tender documents. A request for the restoration of equilibrium may also be made if there are latent defects in the then existing infrastructure.
The relevant concessionaire may request an extraordinary review of the Brazilian Concession Agreement to re-establish the economic and financial equilibrium of the concession if one or more events under Section V of the concession agreement occurs. The principal events are the following:

any changes in any law or rule related to (a) the services that the concessionaire must provide or (b) any security procedure;
177

TABLE OF CONTENTS

operational restrictions resulting from any act (or omission thereof) by any governmental body;

mandatory changes in tariffs or granting of tariff benefits;

changes in the tax regime that causes additional costs for the concessionaire (excluding income tax); and

a Force Majeure event.
The restoration of the economic and financial equilibrium may be implemented by the Brazilian ANAC upon (i) changing the amount of tariffs; (ii) modifying the concession term or ICASGA or ICAB’s obligations; or (iii) adopting other measures it deems appropriate. The review will be based, among others, on the marginal cash flow related to every event generating economic and financial disequilibrium.
In the process of determining the compensation necessary to offset economic and financial changes, the Brazilian ANAC may request documents prepared by independent institutions, the cost of which shall be at ICASGA or ICAB’s expense, as the case may be.
Guarantees and other Financial Commitments

Governmental Authorities
Role of DINACIA
The former Directorate of Civil Aviation, currently called DINACIA, the Uruguayan aviation authority, was created by the Executive Branch Decree 21/999, dated January 26, 1999.
181

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The goal of DINACIA is to implement civil aviation policies in Uruguay, according to current international standards and recommendations, thus continuously monitoring operational security, directing, and controlling civil aviation activities. DINACIA is also in charge of the safety, regularity and efficiency of the aeronautical operations and with providing services in accordance with international regulations and requirements in Uruguay.
DINACIA’s rights and obligations with respect to the Carrasco Concession Agreement are set forth under the Concession Agreement and applicable laws. DINACIA also provides the necessary resources for the functioning of the Unidad de Control and administrative support, infrastructure and material resources.
Uruguayan Executive Branch Decree 21/999 also regulates DINACIA’s organization and powers, which among others include the following: (i) execute the national aeronautics policies according to current regulations and directives; (ii) direct, coordinate, monitor and evaluate the activities assigned to other departments; (iii) advise, in compliance with current legal standards, in all matters related to civil aviation; (iv) issue, in its capacity as national aeronautical authority certain certificates ( Certificados de Explotador Aéreo ) to airline companies that must comply with the requirements established in the regulations of civil aviation; (v) issue instructions ( Instructivos ) to define policies to be developed in the areas of its competence in order to control compliance with all civil aviation activity; and (vi) issue rules ( Circulares ) regarding airport security and operations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DINACIA has authority in all matters related to civil aviation and aeronautics, according to national statutes and international treaties.
Unidad de Control
The Unidad de Control was created by Executive Branch Decree 376/002 as the responsible body for the supervision and control of the fulfillment of airport concessionaires and the financial, legal, technical and operative supervision of the Uruguayan Concession Agreements. Puerta del Sur and CAISA have weekly communications with the Unidad de Control and the Unidad de Control’s members inspect both the Carrasco Airport and the Punta del Este Airport regularly.
Under the terms of the Uruguayan Concession Agreements, certain tariffs and charges included in the Uruguayan Concession Agreements require the approval of the Executive Branch. Prices not included in the Carrasco Concession Agreement, applicable to the airlines, require the approval of the Unidad de Control . Other prices must only be notified to the Unidad de Control and they have to be based on market prices and private negotiations.
All disputes arising in connection with the operation or management of an airport must be submitted to the Unidad de Control . The Unidad de Control is the body responsible for suggesting to DINACIA all mitigations and sanctions that could apply in case of breach by the concessionaires of their obligations.
The Unidad de Control also controls compliance with the Organización de Aviación Civil Internacional (“OACI”) rules relating to maintenance and management of all airports, and is responsible for coordinating and controlling all activities related to the emergency plans of the airports.
Resolution 193/016 dated April 28, 2016, incorporated rules related to Emergency Plans at airports and Airports Certifications, which must be obtained by Puerta del Sur and CAISA. Before Resolution 193/016, both the Emergency Plan and the Airport Certification were obligations of the State. The completion of the Certification process is long and can last a couple of years.
The Carrasco Concession Agreement
In September 2002, the Uruguayan Government (through Law 17,555 and Executive Branch Decree 376/02) authorized the CND to incorporate a company with the purpose of  “managing, exploiting, operating, constructing and maintaining” the Carrasco Airport. Pursuant to the aforementioned authorization, in 2003 the CND incorporated Puerta del Sur.
In February 2003, Puerta del Sur (then wholly owned by the Uruguayan Government) entered into the Carrasco Concession Agreement with the Defense Ministry to operate the Carrasco Airport. The initial term of the Carrasco Concession Agreement was for 20 years commencing in November 2003, which has been extended for an additional 10-year period (i.e., until 2033) by Executive Branch Decree 229/2014 dated August 6, 2014.
182

TABLE OF CONTENTS
In August 2003, our wholly-owned subsidiary Cerealsur S.A. acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Puerta del Sur in a public auction organized by the Uruguayan Government at the Uruguayan Stock Exchange. In November 2003, Puerta del Sur took the effective control of the Carrasco Airport.
In order to meet the operator expertise requirements under the Carrasco Concession Agreement, upon consent of the Executive Branch, Puerta del Sur entered into an operating agreement with Cedicor, with experience in the management and operations of airports around the world, including in Argentina, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Italy and Armenia, to manage the Carrasco Airport. See “—Obligations Assumed by Puerta del Sur as Concessionaire—Airport Operator.”

complying with all the obligations contained in the Régimen de Gestión Integral and all those inherent to a “reasonable” or “diligent” business owner.
The control of the aeronautical transit, general flight operations and security measures are excluded from the Carrasco Concession Agreement and remain with DINACIA.
The Unidad de Control , an agency that consists of representatives of the Defense Ministry and the Ministries of Economy and Transportation, supervises Puerta del Sur’s compliance with its obligations as concessionaire of Carrasco Airport, and oversees the financial, legal, technical and operative supervision of the concession. Under the terms of the Carrasco Concession Agreement, Puerta del Sur has assumed the obligations described below.
Construction of a New Passenger Terminal
One of the principal obligations assumed by Puerta del Sur under the Carrasco Concession Agreement was the construction of a new passenger terminal to replace the old passenger terminal. The construction of the new terminal began in 2007 and was completed in December 2009 when the terminal became fully operational.
Maintenance and Operation of the Airport Terminal
Under the Carrasco Concession Agreement, Puerta del Sur is required to take all measures to provide secure, regular, efficient and high quality services, at the minimum cost to the users of Carrasco Airport. Any change in the Carrasco Concession Agreement related to infrastructure, facilities or equipment will require the prior authorization of the Executive Branch.
Under the Carrasco Concession Agreement, Puerta del Sur is responsible for complying with all applicable legal requirements related to aeronautical, labor, fiscal, customs and other matters related to its activity.
Airport Operator
Under the Carrasco Concession Agreement, Puerta del Sur is required to engage and maintain an experienced and financially sound airport operator for the airport, who, in turn, is charged with providing advice to Puerta del Sur in the following areas: airplanes, passengers, mailing and cargo.
On February 2, 2017, Puerta del Sur replaced SEA as operator and entered into an operating agreement with Cedicor in form and substance in accordance with a draft agreement, which was previously duly approved by the Executive Branch. Under the terms of the operating agreement between Puerta del Sur and Cedicor, Puerta del Sur pays Cedicor an annual fee of 2.5% of Puerta del Sur’s operating income with a minimum of U.S.$500,000 and a maximum of U.S.$2.0 million per calendar year.
The Carrasco Concession Agreement requires that any entity acting as the operator of Carrasco Airport must be approved by the Executive Branch and must satisfy the following conditions:

Technical operational capacity: The operator must have at least eight years’ experience in airport management and operations with, at minimum, 40,000 tons of cargo and 2.4 million passengers per year, as certified by the competent aeronautical authority of the country in which it operates. If the operator is a holding company, the referenced technical capacity will be that of the controlled entity. Cedicor’s technical and operational capacity was certified by the Aeronautical Authority of Guayaquil and approved by Uruguay’s Executive Branch.

Financial and economical capacity: The operator must have a minimum operating capital of U.S.$100.0 million in its most recently ended fiscal year, as evidenced by the audited balance sheet and income statement of the operator prepared in accordance with IFRS. Operating capital is calculated as the sum of net worth and short and long term financial debt.
Puerta del Sur must submit to DINACIA any request seeking the approval of the Executive Branch to approve an entity to become operator of Carrasco Airport. The Executive Branch must approve the proposed operator within a term of 20 days. If denied, Puerta del Sur will have 15 days to respond to any objections. Once approved, the agreement between Puerta del Sur and the operator will be in force during the effective term of the Carrasco Concession Agreement. Any termination of the operating agreement will require the consent of the Uruguayan Government.
184

TABLE OF CONTENTS
If Puerta del Sur elects to replace the airport operator, it must submit to the Uruguayan Government the name of the replacement, together with evidence that the proposed operator meets all required conditions. Any proposed operator must be approved by the Uruguayan Government.
Fees
As consideration for the Carrasco Concession Agreement, Puerta del Sur is required to pay annual fees to DINACIA for the concession of Carrasco Airport. These fees consist of: (a) basic fees and (b) additional fees.
Basic Fees
The basic fees are calculated annually for the period from November to November and are equal to the higher of  (i) a fixed amount of U.S.$2.5 million and (ii) the amount resulting by multiplying the total number of passengers that use Carrasco Airport by U.S.$4.05 per passenger (passengers in transit that exceed 7.5% of the total number of passengers that use the services of Carrasco Airport are excluded from such calculation, as well as diplomats, members of the Defense Ministry assigned to United Nation’s peace keeping missions or other international organizations and children under the age of two), plus applicable cargo fees.

Additional Fees
In connection with the extension of the term of the Carrasco Concession Agreement, in September 2014 Puerta del Sur agreed to pay additional fees (effective as of September 1, 2017), which are calculated based on the number of passengers that use Carrasco Airport and that exceed 1.5 million passengers per year (transit passengers are not included in such calculation, nor are diplomats, members of the Defense Ministry assigned to United Nation’s peace keeping missions or other international organizations or children under the age of two) multiplied by the coefficient set forth in the following table.

Timing of Payment of Fees: Puerta del Sur must pay 50% of the annual fees to DINACIA in June of each year (as calculated for the previous November-to-November period), and the remaining 50% in the following December.
Delay in Payment of Fees: If Puerta del Sur fails to timely pay the annual fees, it shall incur default interest at a rate of LIBOR (180 days) plus 10.0%. In addition, such failure to pay would be a breach of the Concession Agreement and may lead to the termination of the Carrasco Concession Agreement.
Puerta del Sur Revenue
Under the terms of the Carrasco Concession Agreement, Puerta del Sur is entitled to collect, among others, all aeronautical, commercial and cargo revenue related to services rendered at Carrasco Airport.
According to Executive Branch Decree 317/003, the Executive Branch of the Uruguayan Government shall determine, from time to time, the prices charged at Carrasco Airport for landing, aircraft parking,
186

TABLE OF CONTENTS
passenger use tariffs, cargo, handling and storage of containers. However, the prices related to landing, aircraft parking, cargo and aircraft services established by the Uruguayan Executive Branch are the maximum that can be charged, but not necessarily the fees that Puerta del Sur must charge. This allows Puerta del Sur in principle to charge lower prices, except for the boarding fee which is a fixed rate. Other services provided by Puerta del Sur to airlines and not included above shall be proposed by Puerta del Sur and approved by the Unidad de Control . The current services that are being provided by Puerta del Sur to the airlines are included in the Concession Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding executed between the airline companies and Puerta del Sur which was ratified by the Unidad de Control .
The prices charged to the airlines per aircraft movements are adjusted pursuant to the “ Anexo F ” of the Carrasco Concession Agreement while the passenger use tariffs are adjusted on an annual basis pursuant to the formula described in the Carrasco Concession Agreement. According to the Carrasco Concession Agreement, Puerta del Sur can submit a calculation to the Unidad de Control requesting it to validate proposed adjustments to regulated fees.
Other commercial revenues agreed between Puerta del Sur and the Unidad de Control relating to the operation of Carrasco Airport and not included above are unregulated and may be fixed by Puerta del Sur without any restriction. However, the Carrasco Concession Agreement requires that the prices for such unregulated services be in line with local market prices, taking into account the quality and kind of services provided. Puerta del Sur must inform the Unidad de Control about the prices that it will charge for such services, and enclose comparative information about similar services in Uruguay and in the region. Prices are also published on the Puerta del Sur website and at DINACIA’s website.
The prices that Puerta del Sur charges for the use of spaces within the terminal (other than spaces granted for airline operations) are freely set between Puerta del Sur and its counterparties and not subject to review or approval by any authority.
Obligations Assumed by Puerta del Sur Under the 2014 Amendment to the Carrasco Concession Agreement
As consideration for the extension of the term of the Concession Agreement for an additional 10-year period that took place in September 2014, Puerta del Sur agreed to the following:

Extension Premium: Puerta del Sur agreed to pay to the Uruguayan Government U.S.$20.0 million simultaneously with the execution of the amendment to the Carrasco Concession Agreement, which amount has been already paid in full;

Return of Old Passenger Terminal: The old passenger terminal has been detached from the Concession Agreement and was returned to the Defense Ministry; however Puerta del Sur has assumed the obligation to pay U.S.$3.5 million in order to renovate the old terminal, which were duly paid at the execution of the amendment to the Carrasco Concession Agreement;

MITRE Program: Puerta del Sur will assume all the costs relating to the MITRE Corporation’s Center for Advanced Aviation System Development Program whereby the reorganization of the Uruguayan airspace will take place. This program has an estimated cost of U.S.$3.0 million, of which U.S.$1.7 million has been already paid. The remaining shall be due upon completion of certain milestones under the program which to the date of this prospectus have not been completed;

Waiver of the Payment of Passenger Use Tariffs for Certain Governmental Authorities: Puerta del Sur has agreed to waive the payment of passenger use tariffs for diplomats, members of the Defense Ministry assigned to United Nations peace keeping missions or other international organizations and children under the age of two;

Airport Security System: Puerta del Sur agreed to replace Carrasco Airport’s current security system with an integrated security system. The replacement will be initiated once the Executive Branch issues the Decrees imposing the obligation on the airlines to submit the advanced passenger information and passenger name record information to the Ministry of Interior;
187

TABLE OF CONTENTS

New Taxiway: Puerta del Sur agreed to build a new taxiway before the termination date of the Carrasco Concession Agreement, or earlier, if required by the OACI regulations based on Carrasco Airport traffic statistics; currently the airport does not have sufficient traffic to require the construction of the taxiway, and Puerta del Sur expects to build the taxiway in the final years of the Carrasco Concession Agreement; and

Change of Control of Puerta del Sur: In general terms, a change of control of Puerta del Sur is not subject to approval by the Uruguayan Government, nor would it require any type of permit or authorization. However, under the terms of the amendment to the Carrasco Concession Agreement, it was agreed that if the shares of Puerta del Sur are sold within 36 months after the execution of the amendment (August 6, 2014), Puerta del Sur will be required to pay to the Uruguayan Government 50% of the benefit resulting from the sale, which is defined as the total consideration to be obtained from the sale minus investment costs. Puerta del Sur is prohibited from assigning the Carrasco Concession Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior and express authorization of the Executive Branch. Any new concessionaire would have to comply with the terms of the Carrasco Concession Agreement.
Guarantees
Under the Carrasco Concession Agreement, Puerta del Sur is required to provide the following guarantees:

A guarantee securing the completion of the construction works of the new terminal. A U.S.$3.5 million completion guarantee is in place concerning Group 1 and 2 works.

A performance guarantee for U.S.$6.0 million. This guarantee will be returned six months after the expiration of the Carrasco Concession Agreement.
We have obtained a surety bond with a local financial institution to support our guarantee obligations under the Carrasco Concession Agreement.
Insurance
See “Business—Property and Insurance.”
Termination
The Carrasco Concession Agreement by its terms will be terminated on November 20, 2033.
Termination Upon Breach by Puerta del Sur
The Carrasco Concession Agreement may be terminated by the Defense Ministry (with prior approval of the Executive Branch) upon due notification to Puerta del Sur, upon repeated and material breaches of the Carrasco Concession Agreement by Puerta del Sur. The Carrasco Concession Agreement does not expressly set forth a definition of a material breach of the Concession Agreement; however, the Carrasco Concession Agreement provides certain examples, including:

delay in the payment of annual fees to DINACIA for the concession of Carrasco Airport;

charging amounts over the maximum permitted under the Carrasco Concession Agreement;

provision of services repeatedly in an incorrect or not efficient manner; and

assignment of the Carrasco Concession Agreement without the prior approval of the Defense Ministry.
Upon a breach of the Carrasco Concession Agreement by Puerta del Sur, the Defense Ministry will be entitled to:

foreclose upon all collateral posted by Puerta del Sur under the Carrasco Concession Agreement to guarantee performance of its obligations;

take control of the Carrasco Airport and all its assets; and
188

TABLE OF CONTENTS

claim all damages suffered by Carrasco Airport as well as request payment of all credit owed to the Defense Ministry.
Unilateral Termination by the Uruguayan Executive Branch
The Defense Ministry may unilaterally terminate the Carrasco Concession Agreement if prior approval from the Executive Branch is obtained and only due to reasons based on “public interest” that require the Concession Agreement to be terminated.
Upon the unilateral termination of the Carrasco Concession Agreement, Puerta del Sur shall be entitled to receive termination payments calculated as follows:

the performance guarantee posted under the Carrasco Concession Agreement, plus

the value of all investments made in construction, reparation of buildings made in accordance with the Carrasco Concession Agreement, less accumulated depreciation, plus

a portion of the amount paid in the auction in August 2003 (U.S.$34.0 million) to purchase shares of Puerta del Sur which shall be calculated according to a formula agreed under the Carrasco Concession Agreement.
Termination Upon Terminal Destruction
In the event of force majeure (e.g., the destruction of Carrasco Airport or severe damage that prevents Carrasco Airport’s operations), the Defense Ministry will be entitled to terminate the Carrasco Concession Agreement without paying the termination payment to Puerta del Sur and collect all of the indemnification payments under all of Carrasco Airport’s insurance policies.
Alternatively, the Defense Ministry could request Puerta del Sur to re-build Carrasco Airport if the reconstruction of the airport does not alter the terms of the Carrasco Concession Agreement.
Termination Upon Agreement Between Puerta del Sur and the Defense Ministry
The Carrasco Concession Agreement may be terminated by mutual agreement (with prior approval of the Uruguayan Executive Branch). No termination fee is payable by any party in this circumstance.
Return of Facilities
Upon the expiration of the term, or termination, of the Carrasco Concession Agreement, the Carrasco Concession Agreement provides that the Uruguayan Government will take full possession of Carrasco Airport’s premises, and all of its facilities and installations. The works and equipment incorporated by Puerta del Sur will also be transferred to the Defense Ministry.
In the event that the facilities, installations or equipment become obsolete or are not of interest to the Uruguayan Government, Puerta del Sur may be required to remove, update or demolish the same. If Puerta del Sur fails to comply with the aforementioned obligation, the Defense Ministry may perform the mentioned activities at Puerta del Sur’s cost.
After the Carrasco Concession Agreement term has expired or been terminated, Puerta del Sur will have a period of 180 calendar days to deliver the premises in perfect condition, other than normal wear and tear.
Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
The Carrasco Concession Agreement is governed by the laws of Uruguay. Under the Carrasco Concession Agreement, all disputes over “technical matters” between Puerta del Sur and the Defense Ministry will be resolved before an arbitration tribunal meeting in Uruguay. The arbitration award will not be subject to any kind of appeal or review.
All other “non-technical” disputes are to be resolved before Uruguayan courts. The Carrasco Concession Agreement does not provide a definition of  “technical matters” and it could be a matter of discussion in each case whether the issue subject to dispute falls within this definition.

The Master Plan describes the works to be executed for each five-year period during the term of the Armenian Concession Agreement, including the corresponding preliminary estimates of investment amounts, and also sets forth the guidelines for the works and operations related to improvement and maintenance of the airports during the remaining part of the term.
The Master Plan and all revisions and extensions thereof will be made according to traffic projections, the internal rate of return agreed upon by the Armenian Government and the Concession Manager, the objective needs of the services and other conditions that the Concession Manager may deem appropriate according to standards applied in similar airports around the world. The Master Plan will be updated every five years and extended to cover the 30-year term of the Armenian Concession Agreement. The Master Plan may be revised from time to time at the Concession Manager’s request or based on the changing needs of the airports.
The Concession Manager is entitled, in its sole discretion, to establish the priority rank among the works described in the Master Plan, to postpone or anticipate the execution thereof to earlier or later periods than those originally foreseen in the Master Plan, and to prepare the corresponding projects for the implementation of the works, emphasizing safety concerns according to ICAO rules and taking into account service quality levels under the International Air Transport Association Class C category.
The Concession Manager is required to inform the Armenian Government on the performance and progress of the specific works described in the Master Plan. Nevertheless, there are no periodic reporting requirements.
Fees
Under the Armenian Concession Agreement, the Concession Manager shall not pay any fee or other consideration of any kind whatsoever for the rights granted to it in the Armenian Concession Agreement.
Airport Charges and Fees
All of the activities carried out at the airports as well as the use of any property transferred to the Concession Manager by the Armenian Government shall entitle the Concession Manager to collect the
194

TABLE OF CONTENTS
relevant Airport Charges and the Fees which the Concession Manager establishes. The initial airport charges are stated in an appendix of the Armenian Concession Agreement. Any modifications to such airport charges may be effected upon notice from the Concession Manager to the Armenian Government, subject to the Armenian Government’s right to object to any adjustment within a 15-day period as from the date of receipt of such notice. The Armenian Government cannot unreasonably withhold its approval to the adjustments to the airport charges.
The Concession Manager, at its sole discretion, may collect the airport charges and fees in U.S. dollars, euros or Armenian dram, to the extent permitted by Armenian Law.
Airport charges and fees shall be automatically adjusted by applying the following procedures:

airport charges and fees expressed in Armenian dram will be adjusted proportionally to the variations of the exchange ratio between the Armenian dram and the United States dollar;

airport charges and fees expressed in United States dollars will be adjusted based on the Total Producer Price Index for Finished Goods seasonally adjusted (PPI), as published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, and verified by the index as of December 2001, which shall be considered the “PPI Base Year,” and the index as of December of the year to be updated; and

airport charges and fees expressed in euros will be adjusted proportionally to the variations of the exchange ratio between the euro and the United States dollar.
Exchange and inflation variations between the date of any invoice and the date of actual payment of the corresponding charge or fee may be billed by the Concession Manager separately.
Internal Rate of Return
Internal Rate of Return is calculated as the annual net after tax internal rate of return on the Concession Manager’s actual total airport capital investments valued in United States dollars, including equity, equity equivalents, subordinate loans and/or convertible loans and any other capital contribution as expressed in the Concession Manager’s accounting statements audited by an international auditing firm.
Pursuant to the terms of the Armenian Concession Agreement, the Concession Manager is granted the right to receive an annual Internal Rate of Return of 20%. At the end of each fiscal year, the Concession Manager may propose to the Armenian Government certain adjustments to the Master Plan to adhere to the Internal Rate of Return of 20%. The Armenian Government may not unreasonably withhold its consent to such adjustments. If the approved adjustments to the Master Plan are insufficient to meet the agreed Internal Rate of Return, the Concession Manager shall be entitled to adjust the real value (taking into account inflation) of airport charges, provided that before each adjustment the Concession Manager informs the Armenian Government of the proposed adjustment. If the Concession Manager does not recover the agreed Internal Rate of Return after applying the foregoing procedures, the Concession Manager shall be entitled, in its sole discretion and the Armenian Government cannot oppose, to extend the term of the Armenian Concession Agreement to the extent it permits the Concession Manager to reach the target Internal Rate of Return.
In addition, if applicable taxes payable by Concession Manager increase, then the Concession Manager shall be entitled to immediately increase all airport charges and fees so as to reflect such increase. Tax increases include rate increases, elimination or reduction of any exemption or deduction and any other modification which causes any applicable tax liability to increase.
Termination
The Armenian Concession Agreement will terminate pursuant to its terms on June 9, 2032. If the Concession Manager is in good standing on such date, the Concession Manager shall have the option, which the Concession Manager may exercise at its sole discretion from the date which is six months prior to the end of the first and any subsequent five-year period from possession (June 9, 2002), to indefinitely extend the term of the Armenian Concession Agreement for additional periods of five years.

dividends are in an amount that will not exceed 100% of the cumulative net income of such fiscal year and declared at a shareholders’ meeting. If the Argentine Notes are given an investment grade rating by two specified rating agencies, no such restrictions would apply to the payment of dividends by AA2000 during the time they maintain such rating.
In relation to the Argentine Notes, AA2000 is subject to certain customary negative covenants, such as restrictions on debt it may incur, restrictions on encumbrances of its property, limitations on disposal of its assets and investments which it may make, as well as restrictions in relation to its ability to merge or consolidate with another entity.
Termination of the AA2000 Concession Agreement will trigger a default under the Argentine Notes.

Pursuant to the indenture related to the Argentine Notes, AA2000 has collaterally assigned revenue derived from the AA2000 Concession into a trust, approved by the ORSNA up to the full principal amount of the Argentine Notes, in order to secure its obligations under the Argentine Notes. See “Regulatory and Concessions Framework—The AA2000 Concession Agreement—Collateral Assignment of Revenue.” AA2000 is not required to fully fund the collateral trust.

We are registered with the Trade and Companies Register in Luxembourg under the number B 174140. We were incorporated on December 14, 2012, under the name A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l. The name changed to Corporación América Airports S.A. on September 14, 2017, upon conversion from a private limited liability company ( société a responsabilité limitée ) to a public limited liability company ( société anonyme ). Our registered office is currently located at L-2453 Luxembourg 4, rue de la Grêve L-1643 Luxembourg.
Our agent for service of process in the United States in connection with this offering is Puglisi & Associates, located at 850 Library Avenue, Suite 204, Newark, Delaware 19711. Since our incorporation, other than a capital increase by the conversion of reserves, there have been no material changes to our share capital. We have not undergone any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.
Common Shares
Common shares are issued in registered form only and no certificates will be issued. The Company is entitled to treat the registered holder of any share as the absolute owner thereof and is not bound to recognize any equitable claim or other claim or interest in such share on the part of any other person.
Issuance of Common Shares
Our shareholders have authorized the board of directors to issue common shares up to the maximum amount of the authorized unissued share capital of the Company for a period of five years from the date of the deed granting such authorization (regardless of the date of its publication on the RESA), which period may be renewed, to such persons, and on such terms and for such consideration as the board of directors may determine.
Immediately following the completion of this offering, our authorized share capital will consist of 2,000,000,000 common shares with a nominal value of U.S.$1.00 per share. Upon completion of the offering, there will be        common shares issued and outstanding, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional common shares. All of our issued and outstanding common shares will be fully paid and the board of directors cannot call on or compel our shareholders to contribute additional amounts to the Company
Pre-emptive Rights
In the event of any capital increase whether in cash or in kind, the holders of our common shares shall have pre-emptive rights to subscribe for additional common shares proportionally to their existing equity in the share capital of the Company, except as noted below. The exercise period for such pre-emptive rights is determined by the board of directors, but must be at least 14 days from the date of the publication of the offering in the Recueil électronique des sociétés et associations and a journal published in Luxembourg. If holders of common shares do not elect to exercise their pre-emptive rights, the other holders of pre-emptive rights shall benefit from secondary pre-emptive subscription rights for unsubscribed shares; provided, however, that the general meeting (or the board of directors, as authorized by the general meeting) may limit or withdraw such pre-emptive subscription rights in accordance with applicable law and our articles of association. The board of directors is also authorized for a period of five years commencing on
223

TABLE OF CONTENTS
September 13, 2017, to cancel or limit the pre-emptive rights of the shareholders in accordance with our articles of association and in connection with the issuance of shares (i) for payment in cash or in kind, or (ii) in connection with a conversion of profits and reserves (including share premium and capital surplus).
Meetings of Shareholders
The board of directors shall convene at least one general shareholders meeting each calendar year (the “annual general meeting”) for the purpose of, among other things, approving the annual accounts, deciding on the allocation of the annual profit, if any, and as the case may be, electing or renewing the mandates of directors. Under Luxembourg Law, the annual general meeting must be held within six months of the end of the fiscal year. A general meeting can be adjourned at the request of one or more shareholders representing at least 10.0% of the issued share capital.
The board of directors may convene any general meeting whenever in its judgment such a meeting is necessary. The board of directors must convene a general meeting within a period of one month upon notice, which notice must set forth certain information specified in the articles of association, to the Company from shareholders holding at least the 10.0% threshold on the date of such notice. In addition, one or more shareholders who together hold at least 10.0% of the issued share capital on the date of the notice to the Company, which notice must set forth certain information specified in the articles of association, may require that the Company include on the agenda of such general meeting one or more additional items. At least eight days’ notice to shareholders is required for a general meeting. No business may be transacted at a general meeting, other than business that is properly brought before the general meeting in accordance with our articles of association.
Voting Rights
Holders of our common shares are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of holders of common shares. Luxembourg Law does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Voting of shareholders at a general meeting may be in person, by proxy or by voting bulletin. Our articles of association specify how the Company shall determine the shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof.
Amendments of the Articles of Association
Except where our articles of association authorize the board of directors to approve an increase in share capital and change the registered office and subsequently record such change in the presence of a Luxembourg notary, our articles of association require a special resolution approved at an extraordinary general shareholders meeting to amend the articles of association. The agenda of the extraordinary general shareholders meeting must indicate the proposed amendments to the articles of association. Any resolutions to amend the articles of association must be taken before a Luxembourg notary and such amendments must be published in accordance with Luxembourg Law. Resolutions to amend the articles of association may only be passed in a general meeting where at least one half of the share capital is represented, and the agenda indicates the proposed amendments to the articles of association, and the text of those which pertain to the purpose or the form of the Company. If the required quorum is not obtained, a second general meeting may be convened by an announcement filed with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register and published in the RESA and in a Luxembourg newspaper at least 15 days before the relevant meeting. The applicable majority shall be 66.67% of all votes validly cast.
Variation of Share Rights
Under Luxembourg Law, where a resolution of an extraordinary general shareholders meeting will change the rights of our common shares or any other outstanding class of shares, the resolution must, in order to be valid, fulfill the quorum and voting requirements for an extraordinary general meeting with respect to each such class.
Permitted Transfers of Common Shares
The common shares are freely transferable subject to compliance with transfer formalities under applicable law.
224

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Dividend Rights
Under Luxembourg Law, dividends may only be declared from the freely available distributable reserves of the Company. Interim dividends may be declared by the board of directors, subject to certain mandatory legal requirements as detailed in the articles of association. The general shareholders meeting would in the normal course be asked to declare as final the interim dividends paid during the year. The shareholders may declare dividends at a general meeting, but, in accordance with the articles of association, such dividends may not exceed the amount recommended by the board of directors.
Dividends may be paid in U.S. dollars, Euro or any other currency chosen by the board of directors and dividends may be paid at such places and times as may be determined by the board of directors within the limits of any decision made at the general shareholders meeting. Dividends may also be paid in kind in assets of any nature, and the valuation of those assets shall be established by the board of directors according to valuation methods determined in its discretion.
Distributions on winding up of the Company
The Company may be dissolved, at any time, by a resolution of the General Meeting adopted in the manner required for amendment of the articles of association. In the event of dissolution of the Company, the liquidation shall be carried out by one or more liquidators (who may be physical persons or legal entities) appointed by the general meeting which authorized such liquidation. The general meeting shall also determine the powers and the remuneration of the liquidator(s). Under the liquidation of the Company, the surplus assets of the Company available for distribution among shareholders shall be distributed in accordance with the rules on distributions set forth in our articles of association, by way of advance payments or after payment (or provisions, as the case may be) of the Company’s liabilities.
Registration Rights and Indemnification Agreement
In connection with this offering, we expect to enter into a registration rights and indemnification agreement with the Selling Shareholder. This agreement will provide to the Selling Shareholder up to five “demand” registrations for the sale of our ordinary shares. Additionally, the agreement will provide the Selling Shareholder and its affiliate transferees customary “piggyback” registration rights. The registration rights and indemnification agreement will also provide that we will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify such holders of registrable securities against certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act. See “Certain Relationships and Related-Party Transactions—Registration Rights and Indemnification Agreement.”
Board of Directors
Our articles of association provide that our business is to be managed and conducted by or under the direction of our board of directors. In managing the business of the Company, the board of directors is vested with the broadest powers to perform or cause to be performed any actions necessary or useful in connection with the purpose of the Company. All powers not expressly reserved by the Luxembourg Companies or by the articles of association to the general shareholders meeting shall fall within the authority of the board of directors.
Our board of directors shall be composed of up to nine directors, appointed by the general shareholders meeting. The members of the board of directors shall be elected for a term not exceeding six years, and shall be eligible to stand for re-election. A director may be removed with or without cause and/or replaced, at any time, by a resolution adopted at the general shareholders meeting. The general shareholders meeting shall also determine the number of directors, the remuneration and their term of office. In the event of any director vacancy, the remaining directors may elect at a meeting of the board of directors, by majority vote, to fill such vacancy or vacancies, as the case may be, until the following general shareholders meeting.
Mergers and de-mergers
A merger by absorption whereby a Luxembourg company, after its dissolution without liquidation, transfers to the absorbing company all of its assets and liabilities in exchange for the issuance to the shareholders of the company being acquired of shares in the acquiring company, or a merger effected by
225

TABLE OF CONTENTS
transfer of assets to a newly incorporated company, must, in principle, subject to certain exceptions, be approved by a special resolution of shareholders of the Luxembourg company to be held before a notary. Similarly, a de-merger of a Luxembourg company is, in principle, subject to certain exceptions subject to the approval by a special resolution of shareholders.
Shareholder Suits and Information Rights
Class actions and derivative actions are generally not available to shareholders under Luxembourg law. Minority shareholders holding securities entitled to vote at the general meeting that resolved on the granting of discharge to the directors, and holding at least 10.0% of the voting rights of the Company may bring an action against the directors on behalf of the Company.
Minority shareholders holding at least 10.0% of the voting rights of the Company may also ask the directors questions in writing concerning acts of management of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, and if the Company fails to answer these questions within one month, these shareholders may apply to the Luxembourg courts to appoint one or more experts instructed to submit a report on these acts of management. Furthermore, consideration would be given by a Luxembourg court in summary proceedings to acts that are alleged to constitute an abuse of majority rights against the minority shareholders.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Prior to the consummation of the offering, we intend to amend our articles of association to provide that we will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify our directors and officers against liability and expenses reasonably incurred or paid by them in connection with claims, actions, suits or proceedings in which they become involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of performing or having performed as a director or officer, and against amounts paid or incurred by them in the settlement of such claims, actions, suits or proceedings, except in cases of fraud, dishonesty, gross negligence, willful misconduct or action giving rise to criminal liability. The indemnification will extend, among other things, to legal fees, costs and amounts paid in the context of a settlement. We intend to enter into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers.
Prior to the consummation of the offering, we intend to amend our articles of association to further provide that we may purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements, including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit or surety bond on behalf of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against them in their capacity as a director or officer.
Access to Books and Records and Dissemination of Information
The register of shareholders of the Company is open to inspection, at the Company’s registered office, by shareholders.
Each year, the shareholders have the right to inspect, at the Company’s registered office, for at least eight calendar days prior to the annual general meeting, among other things, (i) the annual accounts, as well as the list of directors and of the statutory auditors, (ii) the report of the statutory auditors and (iii) in case of amendments to our articles of association, the text of the proposed amendments and the draft of the resulting consolidated articles of association. Each shareholder is entitled to obtain these free of charge, upon request. Under Luxembourg law, it is generally accepted that a shareholder has the right to receive responses to questions concerning items on the agenda for a general meeting of shareholders, if such responses are necessary or useful for a shareholder to make an informed decision concerning such agenda item, unless a response to such questions could be detrimental to our interests.
Registrar and Transfer Agent
We intend to appoint American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. as our U.S. registrar and transfer agent, and all common shares and shareholders are transferred from the register held at our registered office to the register held by our U.S. registrar and transfer agent.
226

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Shares Eligible for Future Sale
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for any of our securities and, while we have applied for our common shares to be quoted on the NYSE, we cannot assure you that a regular trading market will develop in our common shares. Furthermore, because only a limited number of common shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering due to existing contractual and legal restrictions on resale as described below, there may be sales of substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market after the restrictions lapse. This may adversely affect the prevailing market price and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.
Upon the completion of this offering, we will have      common shares issued and outstanding. All of the common shares sold in this offering will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except for any common shares purchased by one of our existing “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Our remaining common shares held by our parent are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144. Restricted shares may be sold in the public market only if registered under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration, including, among others, the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 701 of the Securities Act.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144, an affiliate is entitled to sell within any three-month period beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a number of common shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of our then-outstanding common shares, which will equal approximately      of our common shares immediately after this offering, or the average weekly trading volume of our common shares on the NYSE during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice of the sale with the SEC. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.
Once we have been subject to public company reporting requirements for at least 90 days, a person that is not an affiliate of ours at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months, may sell common shares subject only to the availability of current public information about us, and any such person who has beneficially owned our restricted common shares.
Lock-up Agreements
For a description of the lock-up agreements entered into in connection of this offering, see “Underwriting—No Sales of Similar Securities.”
Registration Rights and Indemnification Agreement
In connection with this offering, we expect to enter into a registration rights and indemnification agreement with the Selling Shareholder. This agreement will provide to the Selling Shareholder up to five “demand” registrations for the registration of the sale of our common shares. Additionally, the agreement will provide the Selling Shareholder and its affiliate transferees customary “piggyback” registration rights. The registration rights and indemnification agreement will also provide that we will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify such holders of registrable securities against certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act. See “Certain Relationships and Related-Party Transactions—Registration Rights and Indemnification Agreement.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Taxation
The following is a summary of the material Luxembourg and U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common shares by persons addressed herein.
Potential investors in our common shares should consult their own tax advisors concerning the specific Luxembourg and U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common shares in light of their particular situations as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
Luxembourg Tax Considerations
Introduction
The following information is of a general nature only and is based on the law currently in force in Luxembourg, though it is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of all possible tax situations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or deposit our common shares.
Prospective purchasers of our common shares (“Shareholders”) should consult their own tax advisers as to the applicable tax consequences of the ownership of our common shares, based on their particular circumstances. Please be aware that the residence concept used under the respective headings below applies for Luxembourg income tax assessment purposes only. Any reference in this section to a tax, duty, levy impost or other charge or withholding of a similar nature refers to Luxembourg tax laws and/or concepts only. Also, please note that a reference to Luxembourg income tax encompasses corporate income tax ( impôt sur le revenu des collectivités ), municipal business tax ( impôt commercial communal ), a solidarity surcharge ( contribution au fonds pour l’emploi ) and personal income tax ( impôt sur le revenu ) generally. Corporate taxpayers may further be subject to net worth tax ( impôt sur la fortune ), as well as other duties, levies or taxes. Corporate income tax, municipal business tax, as well as the solidarity surcharge invariably applies to most corporate taxpayers resident of Luxembourg for tax purposes. Individual taxpayers are generally subject to personal income tax and the solidarity surcharge. Under certain circumstances, where an individual taxpayer acts in the course of the management of a professional or business undertaking, municipal business tax may apply as well.
Taxation of the Company
A fixed registration duty of €75 will be payable at the moment of the incorporation of the Company and in the case of amendment of its articles of association.
From a Luxembourg tax perspective, Luxembourg companies are considered as being resident in Luxembourg provided that they have either their registered office or their central administration in Luxembourg. The Company (a fully taxable company) will be considered as a resident of Luxembourg both for the purposes of Luxembourg domestic tax law and for the purposes of the double taxation treaties entered into by Luxembourg, and should therefore be able to obtain a residence certificate from the Luxembourg tax authorities.
The Company will be liable to Luxembourg corporation taxes. The standard applicable rate of Luxembourg corporation taxes (which include corporate income tax, municipal business tax and the solidarity surcharge) is 27.08% for the fiscal year ending on 31 December 2017 for a company established in Luxembourg city. Liability to such corporation taxes extends to the Company’s worldwide income (including capital gains), subject to the provisions of any relevant double taxation treaty. The taxable income of the Company is computed by application of all rules of the Luxembourg income tax law of 4 December 1967, as amended ( loi concernant l’impôt sur le revenu ), as commented and currently applied by the Luxembourg tax authorities (LIR). Under the LIR, all income of the Company will be taxable in the fiscal period to which it economically relates and all deductible expenses of the Company will be deductible in the fiscal period to which they economically relate. Under certain conditions, dividends received by the Company from qualifying participations and capital gains realized by the Company on the sale of such participations, may be exempt from Luxembourg corporation taxes under the Luxembourg participation exemption regime.
229

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The Company will be subject to net wealth tax levied annually at a 0.5% rate. Under certain conditions, qualifying participations may be exempt from net wealth tax under the Luxembourg participation exemption regime.
Taxation of the Shareholders
   Luxembourg tax residency of the holders of our common shares
A holder of our common shares will not become resident, nor be deemed to be resident, in Luxembourg by reason only of the holding and/or disposing of our common shares or the execution, performance or enforcement of his/her rights thereunder.
   Withholding tax
Dividends paid by the Company to the Shareholders are as a rule subject to a 15% Luxembourg withholding tax of the gross dividend (17.65% of the net dividend if the Company bears the cost of the withholding tax, which is not mandatory under Luxembourg tax laws), unless a reduced withholding tax rate applies pursuant to an applicable double tax treaty or an exemption pursuant to the application of the participation exemption, and, to the extent withholding tax applies, the Company is responsible for withholding amounts corresponding to such taxation.
There is a double tax treaty between Luxembourg and the United States under which the Luxembourg withholding tax may be reduced to 5% if the beneficial owner of the dividend is a U.S. corporation that holds directly at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company (or to 0% if the beneficial owner holds at least 25% of the voting stock and certain other requirements are met). In addition, under Luxembourg domestic law, a dividend paid to a U.S. corporation may qualify for an exemption from Luxembourg withholding tax if it has held either (i) 10% of the stock of the Company or (ii) stock of the Company having an acquisition value of at least EUR1,200,000, for at least 12 months at the time of distribution. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability to them of an exemption from Luxembourg withholding taxes.
A withholding tax exemption may apply under the participation exemption if cumulatively (i) the Shareholder is an eligible parent (“Eligible Parent”) and (ii) at the time the income is made available, the holder of our shares has held or commits itself to hold for an uninterrupted period of at least 12 months a direct participation of at least 10% of our share capital or a direct participation of an acquisition price of at least €1.2 million (or an equivalent amount in another currency). Holding participation through an entity treated as tax transparent from a Luxembourg income tax perspective is deemed to be a direct participation in proportion to the net assets held in this entity.
An Eligible Parent includes (a) a collective entity resident in a European Union (EU) Members State covered by Article 2 of Directive 2011/96/EU of November 30, 2011 on the common system of taxation applicable in the case of parent companies and subsidiaries of different EU Member States, as amended (the “EU Parent-Subsidiary Directive”) or a Luxembourg permanent establishment thereof, (b) a collective entity resident in a State having a double tax treaty with Luxembourg and subject to a tax corresponding to Luxembourg corporate income tax or a Luxembourg permanent establishment of such entity, (c) a joint-stock company or a cooperative company resident in the European Economic Area (EEA) other than an EU Member State and liable to a tax corresponding to Luxembourg corporate income tax or a Luxembourg permanent establishment of such company or (d) a Swiss joint-stock company which is effectively subject to corporate income tax in Switzerland without benefiting from an exemption or (e) a fully taxable Luxembourg resident collective entity or (f) the Luxembourg State, a Luxembourg municipality, an association of a Luxembourg municipality or an operation of Luxembourg public-law entity, (iv) a permanent establishment of an entity referred to at letters (a), (e) or (f) above. No withholding tax is levied on capital gains and liquidation proceeds.
   Taxation of Dividend Income
Shareholders who are either Luxembourg resident individuals or Luxembourg fully taxable resident companies (or foreign shareholders having a permanent establishment in Luxembourg through which such Shares are held), will in principle be subject to tax at the ordinary rates on the dividends received from the
230

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Company. However, under Luxembourg tax laws currently in force, 50% of the amount of such dividend may be tax exempt at the level of these Shareholders.
The Luxembourg withholding tax levied at source on the dividends paid may, under certain conditions, be credited against the Luxembourg income tax due on these dividends.
Furthermore, certain corporate Shareholders may benefit from an exemption of Luxembourg corporation taxes on dividend income under the following conditions:

the Shareholder receiving the dividends is either (i) a fully taxable Luxembourg resident collective entity, (ii) a Luxembourg permanent establishment of an EU resident collective entity falling within the scope of article 2 of the EU Parent-Subsidiary Directive, (iii) a Luxembourg permanent establishment of a joint-stock company that is resident in a State with which Luxembourg has concluded a double tax treaty, or (iv) a Luxembourg permanent establishment of a joint-stock company or of a cooperative company which is a resident of a EEA Member State (other than a EU Member State); and

on the date on which the income is made available, the Shareholder holds or commits to hold directly (or even indirectly through certain entities) for an uninterrupted period of at least twelve months, a participation of at least 10% in the share capital of the Company (or with an acquisition price of at least EUR1.2 million).
The Shareholder which is a Luxembourg resident entity governed by the law of 17 December 2010 on undertakings for collective investment, as amended, by the law of 13 February 2007 on specialized investment funds, as amended, by the law of 11 May 2007 on the family estate management company, as amended, or by the law of 23 July 2016 on reserved alternative investment funds and which does not fall under the special tax regime set out in article 48 thereof, is not subject to any Luxembourg corporation taxes in respect of dividends received from the Company. No tax credit is then available for Luxembourg withholding tax on dividends received from the Company.
Non-resident shareholders (not having a permanent establishment in Luxembourg through which the Shares are held) will in principle not be subject to Luxembourg income tax on the dividends received from the Company (except for the withholding tax mentioned above, if applicable).
   Taxation of Capital Gains
Under current Luxembourg tax laws, capital gains realized by a Luxembourg resident individual Shareholder (acting in the course of the management of his/her private wealth) upon the disposal of his/her Shares are not subject to Luxembourg income tax, provided this disposal takes place more than six months after the Shares were acquired and he/she does not hold a substantial participation. The participation is considered as substantial (a Substantial Participation) if the Shareholder (i) holds or has held (either solely or together with his/her spouse or partner and minor children) directly or indirectly more than 10% of the share capital of the Company at any time during a period of five years before the realization of the capital gain or (ii) acquired his/her Shares for free during the five years preceding the disposal of his/her Shares and the previous holder of the Shares or, in the case of subsequent gratuitous transfers, one of the previous holders has held (either solely or together with his/her spouse or partner and minor children) directly or indirectly more than 10% of the share capital of the Company at any time during a period of five years before the realization of the capital gain.
Capital gains realized upon the disposal of Shares by a Luxembourg resident corporate Shareholder (fully subject to Luxembourg corporation taxes) are in principle fully taxable. However, an exemption from Luxembourg corporation taxes applies under the following conditions:

the Shareholder realizing the capital gains is either (i) a fully taxable Luxembourg resident collective entity, (ii) a Luxembourg permanent establishment of an EU resident collective entity falling within the scope of article 2 of the EU Parent-Subsidiary Directive, (iii) a Luxembourg permanent establishment of a joint-stock company that is resident in a State with which Luxembourg has concluded a double tax treaty, or (iv) a Luxembourg permanent establishment of a joint-stock company or of a cooperative company which is a resident of a EEA Member State (other than a EU Member State); and
231

TABLE OF CONTENTS

on the date on which the disposal takes place, the Shareholder has held for an uninterrupted period of at least twelve months, a participation of at least 10% in the share capital of the Company (or with an acquisition price of at least EUR6 million).
The Shareholder which is a Luxembourg resident entity governed by the law of 17 December 2010 on undertakings for collective investment, as amended, by the law of 13 February 2007 on specialized investment funds, as amended, by the law of 11 May 2007 on the family estate management company, as amended, or by the law of 23 July 2016 on reserved alternative investment funds and which does not fall under the special tax regime set out in article 48 thereof, is not subject to any Luxembourg corporation taxes in respect of capital gains realized upon disposal of its Shares.
Under Luxembourg tax laws currently in force (subject to the provisions of double taxation treaties), capital gains realized by a Luxembourg non-resident Shareholder (not acting via a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in Luxembourg through which/whom the Shares are held) are not taxable in Luxembourg unless (a) the Shareholder holds a Substantial Participation in the Company and the disposal of the Shares takes place less than six months after the Shares were acquired or (b) the Shareholder has been a former Luxembourg resident for more than fifteen years and has become a non-resident, at the time of transfer, less than five years ago.
   Net Wealth Taxation
A corporate Shareholder, whether it is resident of Luxembourg for tax purposes or, if not, it maintains a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in Luxembourg through which/whom such Shares are held, is subject to Luxembourg wealth tax on such Shares, except if the Shareholder is governed by the law of 11 May 2007 on the family estate management company, as amended, by the law of 17 December 2010 on undertakings for collective investment, as amended, by the law of 13 February 2007 on specialized investment funds, as amended, by the law of 23 July 2016 on reserved alternative investment funds, or is a securitization company governed by the law of 22 March 2004 on securitization, as amended, or is a capital company governed by the law of 15 June 2004 on venture capital vehicles, as amended.
The Shareholder which is (i) a Luxembourg resident fully taxable collective entity, (ii) a Luxembourg permanent establishment of an EU resident collective entity falling within the scope of article 2 of the EU Parent-Subsidiary Directive, (iii) a domestic permanent establishment of a joint-stock company that is resident in a State with which Luxembourg has concluded a double tax treaty, or (iv) a domestic permanent establishment of a joint-stock company or of a cooperative company which is a resident of a EEA Member State (other than a EU Member State), may be exempt from Luxembourg net wealth tax on its Shares if it holds a participation of at least 10% in the share capital of the Company (or with an acquisition price of at least €1.2 million.
An individual Shareholder, whether he/she is resident of Luxembourg or not, is not subject to Luxembourg wealth tax on his/her Shares.
   Other Taxes
Under current Luxembourg tax laws, no registration tax or similar tax is in principle payable by the Shareholder upon the acquisition, holding or disposal of the Shares. However, a fixed registration duty of EUR12 may be due in the case where the shares are physically attached to a public deed or to any other document subject to mandatory registration, as well as in the case of a registration of the Shares on a voluntary basis.
When the Shareholder is a Luxembourg resident for inheritance tax assessment purposes at the time of his/her death, the Shares are included in his/her taxable estate for Luxembourg inheritance tax assessment purposes.
Luxembourg gift tax may be due on a gift or donation of the Shares if embodied in a notarial deed executed before a Luxembourg notary or recorded in Luxembourg.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the ownership and disposition of our common shares. This summary is based upon U.S. federal income tax laws (including the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, rulings, judicial decisions and administrative pronouncements), all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change or changes in wording or administrative or judicial interpretation occurring after the date hereof, possibly with retroactive effect.
As used herein, the term U.S. Holder means a beneficial owner of one or more of our common shares:

that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes one of the following:

an individual citizen or resident of the United States,

a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

trust if  (1) a court within the United States can exercise primary supervision over it, and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person;

who holds the common shares as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

who owns, directly, indirectly or by attribution, less than 10% of the share capital or voting shares of the Company; and

whose holding is not effectively connected with a permanent establishment in Luxembourg.
The discussion does not cover all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to, or the actual tax effect that any of the matters described herein will have on, the acquisition, ownership or disposition of our common shares by particular investors (including consequences under the alternative minimum tax or net investment income tax), and does not address state, local, non-U.S. or other tax laws.
This summary also does not address all of the tax considerations that may apply to holders that are subject to special tax rules, such as U.S. expatriates, insurance companies, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, tax-exempt organizations, certain financial institutions, dealers and certain traders in securities, persons holding common shares as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion or other integrated transaction, persons who acquired their common shares pursuant to the exercise of employee shares options or otherwise as compensation, entities or arrangements classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes or persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Such holders may be subject to U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below.
If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds common shares, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. An entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or partner in a partnership, is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the specific tax consequences of owning and disposing of the common shares.
Except as otherwise noted, this summary assumes that the Company is not a passive foreign investment company (a ”PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which the Company believes to be the case. The Company’s possible status as a PFIC must be determined annually and therefore may be subject to change. If the Company were to be a PFIC in any year, materially adverse consequences could result for U.S. Holders.
Potential investors in our common shares should consult their own tax advisors concerning the specific U.S. federal, state and local tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common shares in light of their particular situations as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Taxation of distributions
Distributions received by a U.S. Holder on common shares, including the amount of any Luxembourg taxes withheld generally will constitute foreign source dividend income to the extent paid out of the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s basis in the common shares and thereafter as capital gain. Because the Company does not maintain calculations of its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that such distributions (including any Luxembourg taxes withheld) will be reported to U.S. Holders as dividends. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisers with respect to the appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of any distribution received from the Company. Corporate U.S. Holders will not be entitled to claim the dividends received deduction with respect to dividends paid by the Company. A non-corporate recipient of dividend income will generally be subject to tax on dividend income from a “qualified foreign corporation” at a reduced capital gains rate rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income provided that the holding period requirement is met. A non-U.S. corporation (other than a corporation that is classified as a PFIC (defined below) for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) generally will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation with respect to any dividend it pays on stock which is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. The common shares are expected to be listed on the NYSE, and should qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States so long as they are so listed. Therefore, the Company believes that it will be a qualified foreign corporation for purposes of the reduced tax rate, although no assurance can be given that it will continue to be treated as a qualified foreign corporation in the future. Non-corporate U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine whether they are subject to any special rules that limit their ability to be taxed at this favorable rate.
Dividends received on common shares will be treated, for United States foreign tax credit purposes, as foreign source income. A U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of any non-United States withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on common shares. Instead of claiming a credit, a U.S. Holder may elect to deduct foreign taxes (including any Luxembourg taxes) in computing its taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations. An election to deduct foreign taxes (instead of claiming foreign tax credits) applies to all taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year to foreign countries and possessions of the United States. The limitations on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex. Therefore, U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of foreign tax credits in their particular circumstances.
Taxation upon sale or other disposition of common shares
A U.S. Holder generally will recognize U.S. source capital gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of common shares, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held such common shares for more than one year. The amount of the U.S. Holder’s gain or loss will be equal to the difference between such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the common shares sold or otherwise disposed of and the amount realized on the sale or other disposition.
Passive foreign investment company rules
The Company believes that it was not a PFIC for its 2016 taxable year and does not expect to be a PFIC for its 2017 taxable year or in the foreseeable future. A non-U.S. corporation will be a PFIC in any taxable year in which, after taking into account the income and assets of the corporation and certain subsidiaries pursuant to applicable “look-through rules,” either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income” or (ii) at least 50% of the average value of its assets is attributable to assets which produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Although rental income generally is passive income, certain exceptions apply to allow a lessor to treat its rental income as non-passive. One exception provides that rental income earned by a lessor from leasing real property with respect to which the lessor, through its own officers or staff of employees, regularly performs active and substantial management and operational functions while the property is leased will be non-passive income. The Company believes that the rental
234

TABLE OF CONTENTS
income that it takes into account for purposes of the PFIC tests described above currently qualifies for this exception. However, because PFIC status depends upon the composition of the Company’s income and assets and the market value of its assets (including, among others, less than 25% owned equity investments) from time to time, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year.
If the Company were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held common shares, gain recognized by a U.S. Holder on a sale or other disposition of a common shares would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the common shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and to any year before the Company became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, and an interest charge at the rates generally applicable to underpayments of tax payable in those years would be imposed on the resulting tax liability. The same treatment would apply to any distribution in respect of common shares to the extent such distribution exceeds 125% of the average of the annual distributions on common shares received by the U.S. Holder during the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter. Certain elections may be available that would result in alternative treatments (such as mark-to-market treatment) of the common shares.
In addition, if the Company were treated as a PFIC in a taxable year in which it pays a dividend or in the prior taxable year, the reduced rate discussed above with respect to dividends paid to certain non-corporate U.S. Holders would not apply.
A U.S. Holder who owns, or is treated as owning, PFIC stock during any taxable year in which the Company is a PFIC may be required to file IRS Form 8621 annually. Prospective purchasers should consult their tax advisors regarding the requirement to file IRS Form 8621 and the potential application of the PFIC regime.
Information reporting and backup withholding
Payments of dividends and sales proceeds with respect to common shares by a U.S. paying agent or other U.S. intermediary will be reported to the IRS and to the U.S. Holder as may be required under applicable regulations. Backup withholding may apply to these payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number or certification that it is not subject to backup withholding. Certain U.S. Holders are not subject to backup withholding. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such U.S. Holder to a refund; provided that the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors about these rules and any other reporting obligations that may apply to the ownership or disposition of common shares, including requirements related to the holding of certain foreign financial assets.

Underwriting
We and the Selling Shareholder have entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters named below. Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC are acting as representatives of the underwriters.
The underwriting agreement provides for the purchase of a specific number of common shares by each of the underwriters. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, we and the Selling Shareholder have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has severally and not jointly agreed to purchase the number of common shares set forth opposite its name below:

Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, the underwriters have agreed to purchase all of the common shares offered by this prospectus (other than those covered by the option to purchase additional common shares described below) if any are purchased. Under the underwriting agreement, if an underwriter defaults in its commitment to purchase common shares, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated, depending on the circumstances.
We and the Selling Shareholder have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
The underwriters are offering the common shares subject to various conditions and reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject all or part of any order.
Commissions and Discounts
The representatives have advised us and the Selling Shareholder that the underwriters propose to offer the common shares directly to the public at the public offering price that appears on the cover page of this prospectus. In addition, the representatives may offer some of the common shares to other securities dealers at such price less a concession of U.S.$    per share. The underwriters may also allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of U.S.$    per share to other dealers. After the common shares are released for sale to the public the representatives may change the offering price and other selling terms at various times.
The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discount and proceeds before expenses to us and the Selling Shareholder. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional common shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
We and the Selling Shareholder estimate that our portions of the total expenses of the offering, excluding the underwriting discount, will be approximately U.S.$    and U.S.$   , respectively.
Option to Purchase Additional Common Shares
We and the Selling Shareholder have granted the underwriters an option to purchase additional common shares. This option is exercisable for up to 30 days after the date of this prospectus. If the underwriters exercise all or part of this option, they will purchase shares covered by the option at the initial public offering price that appears on the cover page of this prospectus, less the underwriting discount. If this option is exercised in full, the total price to public will be U.S.$   , the total proceeds to us will be U.S.$    and the total proceeds to the Selling Shareholder will be U.S.$   . The underwriters have severally agreed that, to the extent the option to purchase additional shares is exercised, they will each purchase a number of additional shares proportionate to the underwriter’s initial amount reflected in the foregoing table.
No Sales of Similar Securities
We, our officers and directors, and the Selling Shareholder have agreed to a 180-day “lock up” with respect to all common shares, including securities that are convertible into common shares and securities that are convertible into, repayable with, exchangeable for or exercisable for common shares. This means that, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of 180 days following the date of this prospectus, we and such persons may not offer, sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of these securities without the prior written consent of the representatives.
New York Stock Exchange Listing
We expect the shares to be approved for listing on the NYSE under the symbol “CAAP.” In order to meet the requirements for listing on that exchange, the underwriters have undertaken to sell a minimum number of shares to a minimum number of beneficial owners as required by that exchange.
Before this offering, there has been no established trading market for the shares. In addition to prevailing market conditions, the offering price for the shares has been determined by us, the Selling Shareholder and the representatives, based on the following factors:

the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

our past and present operations;

our historical results of operations;

our prospects for future business and earning potential;

our management;

the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering;

the recent market prices of securities of generally comparable companies;

the market capitalization and stages of development of other companies which we and the representatives believe to be comparable to us; and

other factors deemed to be relevant.
Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids
Rules of the SEC may limit the ability of the underwriters to bid for or purchase common shares before the distribution of the common shares is completed. However, the underwriters may engage in the following activities in accordance with the rules:

Stabilizing transactions: The representatives may make bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the common shares, so long as stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
237

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales and syndicate covering transactions: The underwriters may sell more of our common shares in connection with this offering than the number of common shares they have committed to purchase, which creates a short position for the underwriters. This short sales position may involve either “covered” short sales or “naked” short sales. Covered short sales are short sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional common shares in this offering described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising their option to purchase additional common shares or by purchasing common shares in the open market. To determine how they will close the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of common shares available for purchase in the open market, as compared to the price at which they may purchase common shares through the option to purchase additional common shares. Naked short sales are short sales in excess of the option to purchase additional common shares. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing common shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that, in the open market after pricing, there may be downward pressure on the price of the common shares that could adversely affect investors who purchase common shares in this offering.

Penalty bids: If the representatives purchase common shares in the open market in a stabilizing transaction or syndicate covering transaction, they may reclaim a selling concession from the underwriters and selling group members who sold those common shares as part of this offering.
Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters’ purchases to cover the syndicate short sales or to stabilize the market price of our common shares may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common shares or preventing or mitigating a decline in the market price of our common shares. As a result, the price of our common shares may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of the common shares if it discourages resales of the common shares.
Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the common shares. These transactions may occur on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise. If such transactions are commenced, they may be discontinued without notice at any time.
Electronic Distribution
A prospectus in electronic format may be delivered to potential investors by one or more of the underwriters participating in this offering. The prospectus in electronic format will be identical to the paper version of such preliminary prospectus. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on any underwriter’s web site and any information contained in any other web site maintained by an underwriter is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Other Relationships
The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. Some of the underwriters and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.
In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. The underwriters and their affiliates may also make investment

Enforcement of Civil Liabilities
We are a Luxembourg société anonyme . Substantially all of our assets are located outside the United States.
Furthermore, all of our directors and officers and some experts named in this prospectus reside outside the United States and a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, investors may not be able to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons or to enforce judgments obtained against us or these persons, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal securities law. Likewise, it may also be difficulSquadront for an investor to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against us or these persons in courts located in jurisdictions outside the U.S., including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws.
Argentina
It may be difficult for an investor to bring an original action in an Argentine court predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us, our directors or our officers. There is doubt as to whether Argentine courts would permit such actions or enforce any civil liabilities thereon.
Prior to any enforcement in Argentina, a judgment entered by a U.S. court will be subject to the procedures and conditions set forth in of Article 517 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Procedure Code (approved by Law No. 17,454 as amended by Law No. 22, 434), which includes the following conditions:

the judgment must be final in the jurisdiction where rendered, issued by a competent court in accordance with Argentine jurisdictional principles and result from (a) a personal action or (b) in rem action with respect to personal property which was transferred to Argentina during or after the prosecution of the foreign action;

the defendant against whom enforcement of the judgment is sought must be personally served with the summons, in accordance with due process of law, and given an opportunity to defend against the foreign action;

the judgment must be valid in the jurisdiction where rendered and its authenticity must be established in accordance with the requirements of Argentine law;

the judgment cannot contravene Argentine principles of public order; and

the judgment cannot be contrary to a prior or simultaneous judgment of an Argentine court.
Luxembourg
It may be difficult for an investor to bring an original action in a Luxembourg court predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us, our directors or our officers. There is doubt as to whether Luxembourg courts would permit such actions or enforce any civil liabilities thereon. Furthermore, Luxembourg law does not recognize a shareholder’s right to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company except in limited cases.
As there is no treaty in force on the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters between the United States and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, courts in Luxembourg will not automatically recognize and enforce a final judgment rendered by a U.S. court. A valid judgment obtained from a court of competent jurisdiction in the United States may be entered and enforced through a court of competent jurisdiction in Luxembourg, subject to compliance with the enforcement procedures (exequatur). The enforceability in Luxembourg courts of judgments rendered by U.S. courts will be subject, prior to any enforcement in Luxembourg, to the procedure and the conditions set forth in the Luxembourg procedural code, which conditions may include the following (which may change):

the judgment of the U.S. court is final and enforceable ( exécutoire ) in the United States;

the U.S. court had jurisdiction over the subject matter leading to the judgment (that is, its jurisdiction was in compliance both with Luxembourg private international law rules and with the applicable domestic U.S. federal or state jurisdictional rules);
243

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the U.S. court has applied to the dispute the substantive law that would have been applied by Luxembourg courts;

the judgment was granted following proceedings where the counterparty had the opportunity to appear and, if it appeared, to present a defense, and the decision of the foreign court must not have been obtained by fraud, but in compliance with the rights of the defendant;

the U.S. court has acted in accordance with its own procedural laws;

the judgment of the U.S. court does not contravene Luxembourg international public policy; and

the U.S. court proceedings were not of a criminal or tax nature.
Class actions and derivative actions are generally not available to shareholders under Luxembourg law. Minority shareholders holding securities entitled to vote at the general meeting that resolved on the granting of discharge to the directors, holding at least 10.0% of the voting rights of the Company may bring an action against the directors on behalf of the company. Minority shareholders holding at least 10.0% of the voting rights of the Company may also ask the directors questions in writing concerning acts of management of the company or one of its subsidiaries, and if the company fails to answer these questions within one month, these shareholders may apply to the Luxembourg courts to appoint one or more experts instructed to submit a report on these acts of management. Furthermore, consideration would be given by a Luxembourg court in summary proceedings to acts that are alleged to constitute an abuse of majority rights against the minority shareholders.
Prior to the consummation of the offering, we intend to amend our articles of association to include a provision providing for the waiver by each of our shareholders of any claim or right of action they have, both individually and on our behalf, against any director or officer in relation to any action or failure to take action by such director or officer, except in respect of any matter involving fraud or dishonesty, gross negligence, willful misconduct or action giving rise to criminal liability that may attach to such director or officer.
Italy
The concessionaires who operate the different Italian airports are stock companies ( società per azioni or S.p.A.) incorporated under the laws of Italy. All or a majority of the Italian subsidiaries’ directors, officers and other executives currently reside outside and/or are not citizens of the United States. Furthermore, all or a substantial part of the Italian subsidiaries’ assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon the Italian subsidiaries or the persons mentioned above or to enforce judgments of U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws against them. It may be possible for investors to effect service of process within Italy upon those persons or us or our subsidiaries provided that the requirements of The Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters of November 15, 1965 are complied with.
Judgments of U.S. courts may be enforceable in Italy. Final enforceable and conclusive judgments rendered by U.S. courts, even if obtained by default, may not require retrial and will be enforceable in the Republic of Italy; provided that pursuant to article 64 of Italian Law No. 218 of May 31, 1995 ( riforma del sistema italiano di diritto internazionale privato ), the following conditions are met:

The U.S. court which rendered the final judgment had appropriate jurisdiction to pass judgement upon the matter according to Italian law principles of jurisdiction;

The relevant summons and complaint were appropriately served to the defendants in accordance with U.S. law and during the proceedings the essential rights of the defendants were not violated;

The parties to the proceeding appeared before the court in accordance with U.S. law or, in the event of default by the defendants (“ contumacia ”), the U.S. court declared such default in accordance with U.S. law;

The judgment is final and not subject to any further appeal in accordance with U.S. law (so called “ passato in giudicato ”);
244

TABLE OF CONTENTS

There is no conflicting final judgment previously rendered by an Italian court;

There is no action pending in the Republic of Italy among the same parties and arising from the same facts and circumstances which commenced prior to the action in the United States; and

The provisions of such judgment would not violate Italian public policy.
In addition, according to article 67 of Italian Law No. 218 of May 31, 1995 ( riforma del sistema italiano di diritto internazionale privato ), if the judgement rendered by the U.S. court is not complied with, its recognition is challenged or it is necessary to enforce such judgement, a proceeding must be instituted in the competent Italian court to this end. The competent Italian court does not consider the merits of the case but reviews exclusively the existence of all requirements set out above (including that requiring that the judgment rendered by the U.S. court is not contrary to public policy in Italy).
In addition, if a separate action is brought before an Italian court, the Italian court may refuse to apply U.S. law provisions or to grant some of the remedies sought (for example punitive damages) if their application violates Italian public policy and mandatory provisions of Italian law.
Italian shareholders should seek advice from their own counsel based on the applicable circumstances.
Brazil
A judgment obtained outside Brazil against us, our directors and officers, or the experts named in this prospectus, would be enforceable in Brazil, without reconsideration of the merits, upon confirmation of that judgment by the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice ( Superior Tribunal de Justiça ). That confirmation will occur if the foreign judgment: (i) complies with all formalities required for enforcement under the laws of the jurisdiction where it was rendered; (ii) is issued by a court of competent jurisdiction after proper service of process on the parties and such service either complies with Brazilian law, if made in Brazil, or, after sufficient evidence of the parties’ absence, as required by applicable law; (iii) is final and thus not subject to appeal; (iv) is apostilled by the appropriate authority of the state rendering such foreign judgment in accordance with the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, or the Apostille Convention, or is duly authenticated by the appropriate Brazilian consulate; (v) does not violate a final and unappealable decision issued by a Brazilian court; (vi) is translated into Portuguese by a certified translator in Brazil, unless an exemption is provided by an international treaty to which Brazil is a signatory; and (vii) is not contrary to Brazilian sovereignty, public policy, good morals or public morality. The Brazilian Superior Court of Justice will also not recognize a foreign decision in the event Brazilian courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, as set forth in Article 964 of Brazilian Federal Law No. 13,105, of March 16, 2015, as amended.
In addition, a plaintiff, whether Brazilian or non-Brazilian, that resides outside Brazil during the course of litigation in Brazil must provide a bond to guarantee court costs and legal fees if the plaintiff owns no real property in Brazil that could secure payment, unless an exemption is provided by an international treaty to which Brazil is a signatory. This bond must be sufficient to satisfy the payment of court fees and defendant attorney’s fees, as determined by the Brazilian judge, except in the case of the enforcement of foreign judgments that have been duly confirmed by the Brazilian Superior Court of Justice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we cannot assure you that confirmation of any judgment will be obtained or the process described above can be conducted in a timely manner.
Uruguay
Cerealsur S.A. and Puerta del Sur are organized under the laws of Uruguay, and all of their respective directors and executives reside outside the United States. In addition, all of Cerealsur S.A.’s and Puerta del Sur’s assets (other than certain offshore accounts) and a substantial portion of their assets of these persons are located in Uruguay.
As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process outside Uruguay upon any of Cerealsur S.A.’s and Puerta del Sur’s directors or officers, or to enforce against such parties in United States courts judgments predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States and/or non-Uruguayan laws. In addition, it is uncertain whether the courts of Uruguay
245

TABLE OF CONTENTS
would enforce in all respects, to the same extent and in as timely a manner as a U.S. or other non-Uruguayan court, an original action predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other non-Uruguayan laws; and that the enforceability in Uruguay courts of judgments of U.S. or other non-Uruguayan courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or other non-Uruguayan laws will be subject to compliance with certain requirements under Uruguayan law, including the condition that any such judgment does not violate Uruguayan public policy ( orden público ).
Subject to the foregoing, a final and conclusive judgment against us obtained outside of Uruguay (and, in particular, in the United States) would be recognized, conclusive and enforceable against us in the courts of Uruguay without re-examination of the merits of the case in respect of which such judgment was given or re-litigation of the merits adjudicated upon; provided that an exequatur proceeding is followed before the Uruguayan Supreme Court and the judgment complies with the requirements of applicable Uruguayan law for its enforcement. The exequatur proceeding will proceed under the following conditions:

If there is a treaty between Uruguay and the country where the judgment was rendered, pursuant to the provisions of such treaty. Currently, Uruguay is not a party to any treaty with the United States of America with respect to the enforcement in Uruguay of judgments by a U.S. court.

If there is no treaty, if such judgment:
(i)
complies with all formalities required for the enforceability thereof under the laws of the country where the same was issued;
(ii)
together with related documents, has been translated into Spanish (if applicable) by a Uruguayan public translator and satisfies the authentication requirements of Uruguayan law;
(iii)
was issued by a competent tribunal under the laws of Uruguay after valid service of process upon the parties to the action;
(iv)
was issued after an opportunity was given to the defendant to present its defense;
(v)
is no subject to appeal; and
(vi)
is not against Uruguayan public policy ( orden público internacional ).
In addition, written evidence of compliance with items (iii) and (iv) above would be required to be presented to the relevant court in Uruguay.
Upon compliance with the above, courts in Uruguay will enforce a final and conclusive judgment rendered by a U.S. court in accordance with the procedure contemplated for the enforcement of final and conclusive foreign judgments in the Uruguayan Civil Procedure Code.
Armenia
It may be difficult for an investor to bring an original action in Armenian courts predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us, our directors or our officers. There is doubt as to whether Armenian courts would permit such actions or enforce any civil liabilities thereon.
As there is no treaty in force on the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters between the United States and the Republic of Armenia, due to Article 247 6 of the Armenian Civil Procedure Code, Armenian courts will not automatically recognize and enforce a final judgment rendered by a U.S. court.
Ecuador
It may be difficult for an investor to bring an original action in an Ecuadorian court predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us, our directors or our officers. There is doubt as to whether Ecuadorian courts would permit such actions or enforce any civil liabilities thereon.
Prior to any enforcement in Ecuador, a judgments entered outside of Ecuador will be subject to the homologation procedures and conditions set forth in of Article 104 of the General Procedure Code (published on the Official Gazette No. 506, dated May 22, 2015), which includes the following conditions:
246

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the judgment has the external necessary formalities to be considered authentic in the jurisdiction it was issued;

the judgment is final as per the laws of the jurisdiction it was issued and the enclosed documents should be legalized;

the documents should be translated to Spanish, if applicable;

that it is evidenced, with the relevant procedural documents and certifications, that the defendant was legally notified and that their defense right has been assured;

that the homologation request includes the place in which the place to serve the individual or corporation against whom the foreign resolution is issued; and

the homologation procedure is filled before the relevant Provincial Court.
Peru
It may be difficult for an investor to bring an original action in a Peruvian court predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us, our directors or our officers.
No treaty exists between the U.S. and Peru for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments. Peruvian courts, however, may enforce (a) arbitration awards rendered in the United States by virtue of the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of New York, dated June 10, 1958, and (b) judgments rendered in the U.S. by virtue of the legal principles of reciprocity and comity. Such U.S. judgments are subject to Peruvian judicial review in order to ascertain whether certain basic principles of due process and public policy have been respected and will be enforced, provided that all of the following requirements under Article 2104 of the Peruvian Civil Code for the recognition and execution of foreign judgments are fulfilled:

such judgment does not resolve matters under the exclusive jurisdiction of Peruvian courts;

the court rendering such judgment had jurisdiction under its own private international law rules and under international rules on procedural jurisdiction;

the defendant was served with process in accordance with the laws of the place where such court sits, was granted a reasonable opportunity to appear before such foreign courts and was guaranteed due process rights;

the judgment has the status of res judicata in the jurisdiction of the court rendering such judgment;

there is no pending litigation in Peru between the same parties for the same dispute initiated before the commencement of the proceeding that concluded with the foreign judgment;

such judgment is not incompatible with another enforceable judgment in Peru unless such foreign judgment was rendered first;

such judgment is not contrary to Peruvian public order or good moral;

such judgment has been (a) duly apostilled by the competent authority of the jurisdiction of the issuing court, in case of jurisdictions that are party to The Hague Apostille Convention, or (b) certified by Peruvian consular authorities, in case of jurisdictions that are not party to The Hague Apostille Convention; and is accompanied by a certified and officially translated copy of such judgment into Spanish;

the applicable court taxes and fees have been paid; and

in the absence of a treaty between the United States and Peru, the reciprocity rule is applicable (such reciprocity being presumed), under which a judgment given by a foreign competent court will be admissible in the Peruvian courts and will be enforceable thereby, except if according to such foreign law, (i) judgments issued by Peruvian courts are not admissible in such foreign country, or (ii) judgments issued by Peruvian courts are subject to re-examination by such competent court of the issues dealt with therein.

Where You Can Find More Information
We have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-1, including relevant exhibits and schedules, under the Securities Act covering the common shares to be sold in this offering. This prospectus, which constitutes a part of the registration statement, summarizes material provisions of contracts and other documents that we refer to in the prospectus. Since this prospectus does not contain all of the information contained in the registration statement, you should read the registration statement on Form F-1 and its exhibits and schedules for further information with respect to us and our common shares.
Immediately upon completion of this offering, we will become subject to periodic reporting and other informational requirements of the Exchange Act as applicable to foreign private issuers. Accordingly, we will be required to file reports, including annual reports on Form 20-F, and other information with the SEC. However, we are allowed four months to file our annual report with the SEC instead of approximately three, and we are not required to disclose certain detailed information regarding executive compensation that is required from United States domestic issuers. In addition, we will not be required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently as companies that are not foreign private issuers whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. Also, as a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules of the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing of proxy statements to shareholders, and our senior management, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. However, we plan to file with the SEC quarterly reports on Form 6-K. The quarterly reports will include a Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
As a foreign private issuer, we are also exempt from the requirements of Regulation FD (Fair Disclosure) which, generally, are meant to ensure that select groups of investors are not privy to specific information about an issuer before other investors. We are, however, still subject to the anti-fraud and anti-manipulation rules of the SEC, such as Rule 10b-5. Since many of the disclosure obligations required of us as a foreign private issuer are different than those required by other United States domestic reporting companies, our shareholders, potential shareholders and the investing public in general should not expect to receive information about us in the same amount, and at the same time, as information is received from, or provided by, other United States domestic reporting companies. We are liable for violations of the rules and regulations of the SEC which do apply to us as a foreign private issuer.
You may review and copy the registration statement, reports and other information we file at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549. You may also request copies of these documents upon payment of a duplicating fee by writing to the SEC.
For further information on the Public Reference Room, please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Our SEC filings, including the registration statement, are also available to you on the SEC’s website at http:// www.sec.gov . This site contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The information on that website is not part of this prospectus.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders of Corporación América Airports S.A.
In our opinion, the accompanying combined consolidated statements of financial position and the related combined consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l. and its subsidiaries and combined entities at December 31, 2016, 2015, and January 1, 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2016 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 2 to the combined consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its 2016 and 2015 financial statements to correct an error.

1   General information and corporate reorganization
General Information
A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l. (the “Company” or “ACI”) is a holding company primarily engaged through its operating subsidiaries in the acquisition, development and operation of airport concessions. The Company and its operating subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Group”.
The Company was formed as a private limited liability company under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on December 14, 2012. The Company is ultimately controlled by Southern Cone Foundation (“SCF”), a foundation, organized under the laws of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The address of its registered office is in Vaduz.
The Group currently has operations in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Armenia, Italy, Ecuador and Perú.
Corporate Reorganization
SCF’s airport business was historically conducted through a large number of entities as to which there was no single holding entity but which were separately owned by entities directly or indirectly controlled by SCF during all of the periods presented.
In order to facilitate the Company’s initial public offering, SCF completed a reorganization (the “Reorganization”) whereby, each of the operating and holding entities under SCF’s common control, were ultimately contributed to ACI (see Note 2L). Prior to the contribution of the businesses to ACI, certain initial preparatory steps were conducted whereby certain business activities were either transferred or sold between entities in several corporate reorganization steps under local laws. None of these reorganizations affected the common control structure of the entities forming the Group. Also, certain other SCF’s businesses activities were either sold or transferred to other companies and not contributed to ACI.
The reorganization process was completed with the contribution of the shares of American International Airports LLC, the holding company which owns directly and indirectly controls the airports in Armenia and Argentina, to A.C.I Airports International S.à r.l. The contribution was made, in accordance with Luxembourg law, at its fair value for USD 1,506,867 at December 22, 2016 (Note 26).
The Reorganization was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control for the interests in the contributed businesses which were contributed by the controlling shareholder. As such, the transactions were accounted for under the predecessor cost method. Under the predecessor cost method, the results and financial positions of the contributed businesses were combined and consolidated with and into the Company own operations as from the first day of the earliest period presented in the financial statements as if these businesses had always been part of the Group.
In addition, in connection with the initial public offering, the Company was converted from a Luxembourg Limited Liability Company named A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l. into a Luxembourg Corporation and changed its name to Corporación América Airports S.A. (the “Conversion”). In conjunction with the Conversion, all of the Company’s outstanding equity interests will be converted into one billion five hundred million (1,500,000,000) shares of common stock which will be held by ACI Airports S.à r.l. In connection with the Conversion, Corporación América Airports S.A. will continue to hold all assets of ACI and will assume all of its liabilities and obligations.
These consolidated combined financial statements have been approved for issuance by the Company on November 17, 2017.

2   Basis of presentation and accounting policies
A.   Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these combined consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation and transition to IFRS
The Group’s combined consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). All IFRS issued by the IASB, effective at the time of preparing these combined financial statements have been applied.
IFRS provides no guidelines for the preparation of consolidated combined financial statements, which are therefore subject to the rules given in International Accounting Standards (IAS) 8.12. This paragraph requires consideration of the most recent pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies, other financial reporting requirements and recognized industry practices.
The Group has applied IFRS for the first time for the year ended December 31, 2016 with a transition date of January 1, 2015. The following paragraphs contain the details of the Group’s transition to IFRS and application of IFRS 1 “First Time Adoption of IFRS”.
The application of IFRS 1 required that the Group adopt accounting policies based on the standards and related interpretations effective at the reporting date of its first annual IFRS financial statements. These accounting policies were applied as of the date of transition to IFRS and throughout all periods presented in the first IFRS consolidated combined financial statements.
In accordance with IFRS 1, assets and liabilities were recognized and measured in accordance with those IFRSs required to be applied as of January 1, 2015. The group did not use any optional exemptions to full retrospective application of IFRS set out within IFRS 1, except for the election to reset the cumulative translation differences to zero as of January 1, 2015.
IFRS 1 requires that an entity explain how the transition from previous generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to IFRSs affected its reported financial position, financial performance and cash flows. As the combined Group neither prepared nor reported a complete set of financial statements in the past, these reconciliations from previous GAAP to IFRS were not required.
Presentation in the consolidated combined statement of financial position differentiates between current and non-current assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities are regarded as current if they mature within one year or within the normal business cycle of the Group, or are held for sale.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated combined financial statements are disclosed in Note 2.F.
Several balance sheet consolidated statements of final position and consolidated statement of income items have been combined in the interests of clarity. These items are stated and explained separately in the notes to the consolidated combined financial statements. The statement of income is structured according to the function of expense method (nature of the expenses is classified in notes).

2   Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Continued)
The combined consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. All amounts are rounded off to thousands of U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.
As such, insignificant rounding differences may occur. A dash (“—”) indicates that no data was reported for a specific line item in the relevant financial year or period or when the pertinent figure, after rounding, amounts to nil.
The fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31.
Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
Subsequent to the issuance of the Group’s combined consolidated financial statements, the Group discovered an error in its accounting for disposals of subsidiaries during 2016 and 2015, specifically in connection with the release of the cumulative translation adjustments into earnings. Upon disposal of a subsidiary, 100% of the cumulative translation adjustment should be released into earnings. The Group noted errors related to the release of incorrect amounts of cumulative translation adjustments given that the Group had elected to reset translation adjustments accumulated prior to the date of first time adoption of IFRS (i.e. January 1, 2015) to zero.
These combined consolidated financial statements, as initially reported, have therefore been amended and restated to correct for these errors. The restatement impacts on the combined consolidated statement of income for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the combined consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the combined consolidated statement of changes in equity for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and on the combined consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Accordingly, these restated combined consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and January 1, 2015 and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 have been approved and authorized for issue by the Group’s Board of Directors on November 17, 2017. The Group’s previously issued combined consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on October 5, 2017. The restated consolidated financial statements have been updated for the effects of subsequent events up to November 17, 2017.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2015:

Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortization—Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38.

Annual improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 cycle, and

Disclosure initiative—amendments to IAS 1.
The adoption of these amendments did not have any impact on the current period or any prior period and is not likely to affect future periods.
New and amended standards not yet adopted for ACI
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for December 31, 2016 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the group. The group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”
IFRS 9—Financial Instruments, and subsequent amendments, issued in July 2014. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning January 2018 and replaces the previously issued versions and establishes new requirements for hedge accounting and a new model of impairment for financial assets.

2   Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Continued)
The group has reviewed its financial assets and liabilities and is expecting the following impact from the adoption of the new standard on 1 January 2018:
The majority of the group’s financial instruments are currently classified as held to maturity. Those instruments will satisfy the conditions for classification as amortized cost and hence there will be no change to the accounting for these assets.
There will be no impact on the group’s accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the group does not have any such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed.
As the Group has no hedging instruments, the new hedging requirements will not affect the Group’s financial condition or results of operations.
The new impairment model requires the recognition of impairment provisions based on expected credit losses (ECL) rather than only incurred credit losses as is the case under IAS 39.
It applies to financial assets classified at amortized cost, debt instruments measured at fair value measured through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), contract assets under IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers , lease receivables, loan commitments and certain financial guarantee contracts. The Company’s management has not yet finalized the assessment of the potential impact that the application of these amendment may have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. These are expected to change the nature and extent of the group’s disclosures about its financial instruments particularly in the year of the adoption of the new standard.
IFRS 15, “Revenue from contracts with customers”
IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers.
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces IAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and IAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and earlier application is permitted. The Company’s management has not yet finalized the assessment of the potential impact that the application of this standard may have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
IAS 12, “Income tax”
In February 2016, IASB issued certain amendments to clarify the requirements for recognition of deferred tax assets for tax unrealized losses, effective from January 1, 2017. Management analyzed these amendments and concluded that will not significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements on the current period and is not likely to affect future periods.
IAS 7, “Cash Flow Statement”
In February 2016, IASB issued an amendment by which requires that an entity disclose information that enables users to understand the changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, effective from January 1, 2017. Management analyzed these amendments and concluded that will not significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements on the current period and is not likely to affect future periods.

2   Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Continued)
IFRS 16, “Leases”
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, “Leases’’, which will result in almost all leases being recognized on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognized. IFRS 16 must be applied on annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company’s management is currently assessing the potential impact that the application of this standard may have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Other standards and interpretations non-significant for the Company’s financial statements:

Amendment to IFRS 2—Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions—Annual Improvements to IFRS 2014-2016 cycle.

IFRIC 22—Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration.

IFRIC 23—Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments.
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
B   Group accounting policies
(1)   Subsidiaries and transactions with non-controlling interests
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is exercised by the Company and are no longer consolidated from the date control ceases.
The acquisition method is used to account for the business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, and the equity interest issued by the group. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
Any non-controlling interest in the acquiree is measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. Accounting treatment is applied on an acquisition by acquisition basis.
The excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the Combined Consolidated Statement of Income.
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted as equity transactions with owners of the Company. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

(Amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars except share data or as otherwise indicated)
2   Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Continued)
Material inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses have been eliminated in consolidation. However, financial gains and losses from intercompany transactions may arise when the subsidiaries have different functional currencies. These financial gains and losses are included in the Combined Consolidated Statement of Income under Financial income and Financial loss .
(2)   Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognize the investor`s share of profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. The Company’s investment in associates includes goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment loss.
Unrealized gains or losses arising from transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of ACI’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The Company’s pro-rata share of earnings in associates is recorded in the Combined Consolidated Statement of Income under Share in income or loss in associates and Share of other comprehensive income of associates . The Company’s pro-rata share of changes in other reserves is recognized in the Combined Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity under Other Reserves.
(3)   List of Subsidiaries
Detailed below are the subsidiaries of the Company which have been consolidated in the Combined Consolidated Financial Statements. The percentage of ownership refers to the direct and indirect ownership of ACI Airports International S.à r.l. in their subsidiaries at each period-end.

C   Foreign currency translation
(1)   Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”).
The Group’s presentation currency of this Combined Consolidated Financial Statements is the U.S. dollar.
(2)   Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuations where items are re-measured.
At the end of each reporting period: (i) monetary items denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated using the closing rates; (ii) non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a currency other than the functional currency are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions; and (iii) non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a currency other than the functional currency are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other

than the functional currency are recorded as gains and losses from foreign exchange and included, if applicable, in “Financial income / Financial loss” in the Combined Consolidated Income Statement. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss as part of the “fair value gain or loss,” while translation differences on non-monetary financial assets such as equities classified as available for sale are included in the “available for sale reserve” in equity. ACI had no such assets or liabilities for any of the periods presented.
(3)   Translation of financial information in currencies other than the functional currency
Income and expenses of the subsidiaries whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at the monthly average exchange rates. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the balance sheet date exchange rates. Translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income as “Currency Translation Adjustments”. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized a translation loss of USD 45.9 million and USD 169.8 million, respectively, arising from the translation of the investments in Argentina, Brazil, Italia and Armenia. In the case of a sale or other disposal of any of such subsidiaries, any cumulative translation difference would be recognized in income as a gain or loss from the sale of such subsidiary.
D   Intangible assets
(1)   Concession Assets
The Group, through some of its subsidiaries has been awarded the concession for the administration and operation of the following airports:

Puerta del Sur S.A. and C.A.I.S.A., of major airports in Uruguay (Montevideo and Punta del Este).

Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A. (“TA”) a merger of Aeroporto di Firenze S.p.A. (“ADF”) and Società Aeroporto Toscano Galileo Galilei S.p.A. (“SAT”) of Florence and Pisa airports, respectively.

2   Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Continued)
The intangible asset for infrastructure under each concession agreement is amortized over the contract term in accordance with an appropriate method reflecting the rate of consumption of the concession asset’s economic benefits as from the date the infrastructure is brought into service.
Accounting of the fixed concession fee under the Brazilian concession agreements are described in Note 24 A.
As part of the obligations arising from the concession agreements, the Group provides construction or upgrade services. IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Arrangements” requires to recognize revenues and costs from the construction or upgrade services provided. The fair value of the construction or upgrade service is equal to the construction or upgrade costs plus a reasonable margin, which the Group has estimated at an average of 3% to 5%.
The concession fee paid to the grantor derived from the concession agreements are recognized depending on the terms defined in the concession agreement:
a)
Fixed concession fee is recognized at the beginning of the concession as it is reliably measurable, as a counterpart an intangible asset is recognized, this type of fee is independent form the revenue.
b)
Variable fees payables that are define as a percentage over certain revenue streams, recognized monthly by monthly in the income statement.
Each operating company is responsible for obtaining the necessary guarantees for the commitments assumed in each concession. They are mostly covered by insurance that it is paid in advance and it is recorded in Other receivables, and is accrued over the life of the coverage.
Main commitments under each concession agreement are included in Note 27.
(2)   Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of ACI’s share of net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired as part of business combinations determined by management. Goodwill impairment reviews are performed annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Goodwill, net of impairment losses, if any, is included on the Combined Consolidated Statement of Financial Position under Intangible assets, net .
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating units (CGUs) of a subsidiary or group of subsidiaries that are expected to benefit from such business combination.
E   Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recognized at historical acquisition or construction cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses; historical cost includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Major overhaul and rebuilding expenditures are capitalized as property, plant and equipment only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the group and the investment enhances the condition of assets beyond its original condition.

2   Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Continued)
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of each asset to its residual value over the estimated useful life, as follows:
Land, building and improvements
25 – 30 years​
Plant and production equipment
3 – 10 years​
Vehicles, furniture and fixtures, and other equipment
4 – 10 years​
The residual values and useful lives of significant property, plant and equipment are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each year-end date.
Gain and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are included in “Other (losses)/gains, net” in the Statement of income.
(1)   Oil and gas exploration activities from discontinued operations
The Company applies IFRS 6 “Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources” to account for its oil and gas exploration and evaluation activities.
As a result, in accordance with IFRS 6, the Company capitalizes oil and gas exploration and evaluation expenses, such as topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies; exploratory drilling; evaluation of oil and gas reserves, and mining property associated with unproven reserves, such as assets for exploration and evaluation as a special category (Exploration and evaluation assets) within Property, plant and equipment. The costs prior to obtaining an exploration permit are charged to income/loss as incurred.
This means that exploration costs are temporarily capitalized until the results of the exploration efforts are evaluated so as to determine if there are sufficient hydrocarbon reserves to commercially exploit them.
If exploration and evaluation activities do not conclude that there are sufficient hydrocarbon reserves, the amounts capitalized are charged to income/loss at the time this conclusion is reached. Exploration and evaluation assets in relation to which reserves were identified are tested for impairment, prior to reclassification of the line “Production facilities and wells”.
Exploration and evaluation assets are not subject to depreciation or amortization.
(2)   Oil and gas development activities from discontinued operations
Development costs are costs incurred to develop and produce proven reserves and provide facilities for extraction, collection and storage of oil and gas. This item includes payments of exploitation concession rights, which are recorded under “Mining Property” line.
Development costs incurred to drill development wells (successful and dry) and to construct facilities or install equipment for production purposes are capitalized and classified as “Works in progress” until their completion. Once productive, these wells are reclassified to “Production facilities and wells” and depreciation begins; oil and gas production costs are charged to income/loss.
Subsequent expenses are incorporated as a cost component of these assets only if they are an improvement and/or extend the useful life and/or increase the production capacity of assets and/or it is probable that the asset generates an increase in net cash flows.
The costs of maintenance and repair that only restore production to its original level are charged to income/loss in the fiscal year they are incurred.

2   Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Continued)
The costs of asset retirement obligation and well plugging obligations are capitalized at discounted value, together with the assets that gave rise (within the “Production facilities and wells” line) to them and are depreciated using the units of production method. As counterpart, a liability is recognized for this item at the estimated value of the discounted sums payable. These values are adjusted when necessary based on changes in current costs, the date on which wells will be retired and/or any other information available.
F   Critical accounting estimates and judgments
Critical accounting estimates are those that require management to make significant judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Actual results could differ from estimates used in employing the critical accounting policies and these could have a material impact on the Group’s results of operations.
The Group’s critical accounting estimates are discussed below.
(a)   Business combinations—purchase price allocation
Accounting for business combinations requires the allocation of the Group’s purchase price to the various assets and liabilities of the acquired business at their respective fair values. The Group uses all available information to make these fair value determinations. In some instances, assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future revenues and expenses associated with an asset might have to be used in determining its fair value. Actual timing and amount of net cash flows from revenues and expenses related to that asset over time may differ from those initial estimates, and if the timing is delayed significantly or if the net cash flows decline significantly, the asset could become impaired.
(b)   Impairment testing
At the date of each statement of financial position, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, investment in associates and finite lived intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss. Assets that have an indefinite useful life or assets not ready to use are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.
An impairment loss, if applicable, is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units or CGUs). Prior impairments of nonfinancial assets (other than goodwill) are reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
(c)   Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.

2   Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Continued)
Deferred tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the combined consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. In assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is probable that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
(d)   Application of IFRIC 12
The Group has carried out a comprehensive implementation of the standards applicable to the accounting treatment of their concession and has determined that, among others IFRIC 12 is applicable to us. The Group treats their investments related to improvements and upgrades to be performed in connection with the concession obligation under the intangible asset model established by IFRIC 12, as all investments required by the concession obligation, regardless of their nature, directly increase the maximum tariff per traffic unit. Accordingly, all amounts invested under the concession obligation have a direct correlation to the amount of fees the Group will be able to charge each passenger or cargo service provider, and thus, a direct correlation to the amount of revenues the Group will be able to generate. As a result, the Group defines all expenditures associated with investments required by the concession obligation as revenue generating activities given that they ultimately provide future benefits, whereby subsequent improvements and upgrades made to the concession are recognized as intangible assets based on the principles of IFRIC 12. Additionally, compliance with the committed investments per the Master Development Programs is mandatory, as well as the fulfillment of the maximum tariff and therefore, in case of a failure to meet any one of these obligations, the Group could be subject to sanctions and the concessions could be revoked.
G   Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Net realizable value is the estimated price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted averaged principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition.
If applicable, the Group establishes an allowance for obsolete or slow-moving inventory related to finished goods. For slow moving or obsolete finished products, an allowance is established based on management’s analysis of product aging.
H   Investment Properties
Investment Properties (properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation), are measured at cost, net of impairment losses.

2   Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Continued)
I   Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are initially recognized at fair value, generally the original invoice amount and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. The Group analyzes its trade receivables on a regular basis and, when aware of a specific counterparty’s difficulty or inability to meet its obligations, impairs any amounts due with a provision for bad debts. Additionally, this provision is periodically assessed based on the aging of receivables.
J   Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash in banks, mutual funds and short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash.
In the Combined Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, bank overdrafts are included in Borrowings in current liabilities. For the purposes of the Combined Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes bank overdrafts.
K   Non–current assets classified as held for sale
If the Company intends to sell non-current assets or groups of assets, and if the sale is highly probable to be carried out within 12 months, the non-current asset or group of asset is classified as held for sale and presented as such in the statement of financial position.
Assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amounts, immediately prior to their classification as held for sale and their fair value less costs to sell. They are not subject to depreciation or amortization. Held for sale assets, however, such as financial assets or deferred tax assets, are measured in accordance with the corresponding standard.
Any profit or loss arising from the sale or revaluation of held for sale assets is included in ‘other operating income’ or ‘other expense’, respectively, in profit or loss.
L   Equity
(1)   Equity components
The Combined Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity includes:

The share capital, legal reserve and free distributable reserves calculated in accordance with Luxembourg Law;

The currency translation adjustment, other reserves, retained earnings and non-controlling interest.
(2)   Share capital
Share capital is stated at nominal value. The Company has an authorized share capital of 20,000 shares having a nominal value of USD 1 per share. All issued shares are fully paid.
Pursuant to Luxembourg regulations, contributions in kind made by shareholders must be at fair value and must be considered as Free Distributable Reserve.
(3)   Dividends distribution by the Company to shareholders
Dividends distributions are recorded in the Company’s financial statements when Company’s shareholders have the right to receive the payment, or when interim dividends are approved by the Board of Managers in

accordance with the by-laws of the Company. Dividends may be paid by the Company to the extent that it has distributable retained earnings, calculated in accordance with Luxembourg law (see Note 27).
(4)   Other reserves
As mentioned in Note 1, the reorganization was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control, using the predecessor cost method. The net effect was recorded in Net Equity under Other Reserves. Moreover, in the current year, and considering that the shares of America International Airports (“AIA”) were contributed to the Free Distributable Reserves of the Company at the fair value a significant negative amount was included in Other Reserves to reflect the reduction to the predecessor’s cost of the shares.
(5)   Non-controlling interest
The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognized in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of ACI Airports International S.à r.l.
M   Borrowings
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Subsequently borrowings are measured at amortized cost.
N   Current and Deferred income tax
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the Combined Consolidated Statement of Income, except for tax items recognized in the Combined Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group entities operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions when appropriate.
Deferred income taxes recognized applying the liability method on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. The principal temporary differences arise from fair value adjustments of assets acquired in business combinations, and the effect of valuation on fixed assets, inventories and provisions. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for net operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the time period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period, ACI reassesses unrecognized deferred tax assets. The group recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

O   Employee benefits
Compensation to employees in the event of dismissal is charged to income in the year in which it becomes payable.
Some entities of the Group have long term employee benefits that are unfunded defined benefit plan in accordance with IAS 19—“Employee Benefits”.
The company calculates annually the provision for employee retirement cost based on actuarial calculations performed by independent professionals using the Projected Unit Credit Costs method. The present value of the defined benefit obligations at each year-end is calculated discounting estimated future cash outflows at an annual rate equivalent to the average rate of high quality corporate bonds, which are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits will be paid, and whose terms approximate the terms of the pension obligations.
Service cost and interest cost are recognized in the income statement, with actuarial gains and losses arising from changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the Combined Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Actuarial assumptions include variables such as, in addition to the discount rate, death rate, age, sex, years of service, current and future level of salaries, turnover rates, among others.
P   Provisions
Provisions for legal claims and other charges are recognized when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
The concession agreements in the different jurisdictions include certain commitments to be complied by each company. These commitments can be grouped in two categories:

Works that can be classified as standard maintenance of the infrastructure, which are expensed as incurred

Major scheduled maintenance and refurbishments of the infrastructure in the future.
Since IFRIC 12 does not recognize infrastructure as property, plant and equipment, rather as a right to charge customers for the use of the infrastructure, major refurbishments and renewals to be performed in future years to maintain or restore the infrastructure asset to its level of functionality, operation and safety should be recognized in accordance with IAS 37—Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Assets (unless the grantor agrees to reimburse the operator). Provision is recorded at the best estimate of the amount of the expenditure expected to be incurred to perform the major overhaul or restoration work, discounted using a rate that reflects time value of money and risks involved.

Q   Trade payables
Trade payables are initially recognized at fair value, generally the nominal invoice amount and are subsequently measured at amortized cost.
R   Commitments to the grantor
Each concession agreement determines different types of concession fees to be paid to the corresponding regulatory authority. Fees could be fixed or variable. Some concession agreements establish both a minimum fixed payment, and an additional variable amount if certain conditions are met (such as a minimum number of passengers, among others.
Those concession agreements that require payment of a fixed amount, the Company recognized the obligation at present value. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense. The variable concession fees paid to the grantor derived from the concession agreements are recognized as cost of the period. The fixed concession fee payable pursuant to the Brazilian concession agreements are capitalized at inception of the agreement as concession assets—intangible asset.
S   Revenue recognition
Revenue from airports operations includes:

Aeronautical revenues, which are those generally regulated under each airport’s concession agreement. It consists of passengers departure fees, landing, parking and other fees paid by the airlines.

Commercial revenues: those are typically not regulated under the applicable concession agreement. Commercial revenues are leases and/or royalty fees from retail (including duty free), food and beverage, services and car rental companies, advertising and car parking, fueling charges and cargo fees, among others.

Construction service revenues: IFRIC 12 requires to recognize revenues and costs from the construction or upgrade services provided. Construction service revenue equals the construction or upgrade costs plus a reasonable margin.
Revenue is recognized when the amount of revenue may be reliably measured; it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company, and when collection is reasonably assured.
Revenue is shown net of value-added tax and discounts. Intercompany balances with subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
T   Cost of services and other expenses
Cost of services and expenses are accrued and recognized in the Combined Consolidated Statement of Income.
Construction service cost: IFRIC 12 requires to recognize revenues and costs from the construction or upgrade services provided. Construction service revenue equals the construction or upgrade costs plus a reasonable margin.
Commissions, freight and other selling expenses, including services and fees, office expenses and maintenance, are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Combined Consolidated Statement of Income.

U   Government grant
As consideration for having granted the concession of the Group A of the Argentine Airports, AA2000 assigns to the Government 15% of the total revenues of the concession, 2,5% of such revenues are destined to fund the investments commitments of AA2000 corresponding to the investment plan under the concession agreement by means of a trust in which AA2000 is the settlor; Banco de la Nación Argentina, the trustee; and the beneficiaries are AA2000 and constructors of the airports’ works. The funds in the trust are used to settle the accounts payable to suppliers of the infrastructure being built in the Argentine Airport System. As per IAS 20, the benefit received by AA2000 qualifies as a grant related to income on a monthly basis that it is recognized at fair value since there is a reasonable assurance that such benefit will be received.
V   Financial instruments
Non derivative financial instruments comprise investments in debt instruments, time deposits, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, borrowings, and trade and other payables. The Group’s non derivative financial instruments are classified into the following categories:

Financial assets at amortized cost: comprise trade receivables, other receivables and cash and cash equivalents and are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any impairment.

Financial liabilities: comprises borrowings, trade payables and other liabilities and are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial instrument and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized on the trade-date, and derecognized on their realization or settlement date.
Gains and losses from financial assets measured at amortized cost and which are not part of a hedging relationship are recognized through profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized or impaired by the amortization process using the effective interest rate method.
W   Segment information
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), which is the Group’s Board. The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. The operating segments are described in Note 4.
For management purposes, the Company analyzes its business based on the geographic perspective, the country where the airports are located. Therefore, the Company identified the following segments: Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Ecuador, Italy, Armenia and Perú. Others include all other business activities that are not required to be separately reported. Assets, liabilities and results from holding companies are included as Unallocated.
3   Financial Risk Management
The Group’s operations expose it to a variety of risks, mainly related to market risks (including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group manages its financial risk exposure independently at each operating subsidiary, however decisions are discussed by BOD members.

3   Financial Risk Management (Continued)
The most significant financial risks to which the Group is exposed are detailed below.
A.   Financial Risk Factors
(i)   Market risk

Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates in a number of countries throughout the world and consequently is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk. In addition, the Group has certain investments in foreign operations, whose net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. ACI does not enter into derivative financial instruments to cover foreign exchange risks. In order to manage foreign exchange risk, the Group policy consists in minimize net positions of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
The value of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities is subject to changes arising out of the variation of foreign currency exchange rates. A significant majority of the Group’s business activities is conducted in the respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries. However, the Group transacts in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries. There are significant monetary balances held by the Group companies at each period-end that are denominated in others currencies (non-functional currency). The following table provides a breakdown of the Group’s main monetary net assets and liabilities which impact the Group’s profit and loss:
Currency Exposure / Functional currency

The relevant exposures correspond to:

U.S. dollar / Argentine Peso
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 consisting primarily of U.S. dollar-denominated net monetary assets and liabilities at certain Argentine subsidiaries which functional currency was the Argentine Peso. A change of 1% in the AR$/ USD exchange rate would have generated a pre-tax gain / loss of USD 1,312.8 as of December 31, 2016 (USD 1,543.8 as of December 31, 2015).

U.S. dollar / Armenian dram
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 consisting primarily of U.S. dollar-denominated net monetary assets and liabilities at the Armenian subsidiaries which functional currency was the Armenian Dram. A change of 1% in the Dram / USD exchange rate would have generated a pre-tax gain / loss of USD 540.2 as of December 31, 2016 (USD 554.2 as of December 31, 2015).

Euro / Armenian dram
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 consisting primarily of Euro-denominated net monetary assets and liabilities at the Armenian subsidiaries which functional currency was the Armenian Dram. A change of 1% in the Dram / USD exchange rate would have generated a pre-tax gain / loss of USD 474.7 as of December 31, 2016 (USD 519.5 as of December 31, 2015).

A change of 1% in the Euro/ USD exchange rate would have generated a pre-tax gain / loss of USD 2.8 as of December 31, 2016 (USD 31.6 as of December 31, 2015).

Uruguayan peso / U.S. dollar
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 consisting primarily of Uruguayan Peso-denominated net monetary assets and liabilities at certain Uruguayan subsidiaries which functional currency was the U.S. dollar. A change of 1% in the URU$/ USD exchange rate would have generated a pre-tax gain / loss of USD 18.5 as of December 31, 2016 (USD 7.7 as of December 31, 2015).
(ii)   Interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk principally arises from long-term borrowings (Note 23). Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to the risk that the actual cash flows differ from those expected. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to the risk that the fair values of these differ from those expected. The Group manages this risk by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate interest bearing liabilities.
These activities are evaluated regularly to determine that the Group is not exposed to interest rate movements that could adversely impact its ability to meet its financial obligations and to comply with its borrowing covenants.
The following table shows a breakdown of the Group’s fixed-rate and floating-rate borrowings for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
At December 31,
January 1,
2015
2016
2015
Fixed rate
630,541 696,066 685,474
Variable rate
476,700 391,500 79,710
1,107,241 1,087,566 765,184
The Group estimates that, other factors being constant, a 10% increase in floating rates at year-end would decrease profit before income tax for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 USD 3,846 and USD 518 respectively. A 10% decrease in the floating interest rate would have an equal and opposite effect on the statement of income.
This sensitivity analysis provides only a limited, point-in-time view of this market risk sensitivity of certain of the Group’s financial instruments. The actual impact of rate changes on the Group’s financial instruments may differ significantly from the impact shown in the sensitivity analysis.
(iii)   Credit risk
The financial instruments that could be subject to concentration of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and short term investments.
The Group places its cash and cash equivalents and short term investments in several first rate credit entities, reducing in this way the credit exposure to only one entity. The Group has not experienced significant losses from those assets.

3   Financial Risk Management (Continued)
Each subsidiary is responsible for managing and analyzing credit risk of its accounts receivable, for each of their new customers before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. There is no significant concentration of credit risk from customers.
The Group credit policies with customers are designed to identify customers with acceptable credit history. The Group recognized provision for bad debts to cover impairment for potential credit losses. The credit quality of the financial assets that are not yet due and not impaired can be assessed based on the credit qualification (“rating”) granted by entities external to the Group or through the historical rates of uncollectibility. Based on these rates, Trade Receivables as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and January 1, 2015, are composed by existing customers/related parties (more than 6 months) with no defaults in the past.
(iv)   Liquidity risk
The Group is exposed to liquidity risks, including risks associated with refinancing borrowings as they mature, the risk that borrowing facilities are not available to meet cash requirements, and the risk that financial assets cannot readily be converted to cash without loss of value. Failure to manage liquidity risks could have a material impact on the Group’s cash flow and statement of financial position. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding its existing and prospective debt requirements by maintaining diversified funding sources with adequate committed funding lines from high quality lenders.
The Group monitors its current and projected financial position using several key internally generated reports: cash flow; debt maturity; and interest rate exposure. The Group also undertakes sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of proposed transactions, movements in interest rates on the key profitability, liquidity and balance sheet ratios.
The Group’s debt positions are continually reviewed to meet current and expected debt requirements. The Group maintains a balance between longer-term and shorter-term financings. Short-term financing is principally raised through bank facilities and overdraft positions. Medium- to longer-term financing comprises public and private bond issues, including private placements. Financing risk is spread by using a variety of types of debt. The maturity profile is managed, by spreading the repayment dates and extending facilities.
Liquid financial assets as a whole (comprising cash and cash equivalents) were 5.87% of total assets at the end of 2016, 5.63% at the end of 2015 compared to 8.93% at January 1, 2015. The Group has a conservative approach to the management of its liquidity, which consists mainly in cash at banks.
(v)   Capital Management
The capital structure of the Group consists of shareholders’ equity and short-term to long-term net borrowings. The type and maturity of the Group’s borrowings are analyzed further in Note 23. The Group’s equity is analyzed into its various components in the statement of changes in equity.
Capital is managed so as to promote the long-term success of the business and to maintain sustainable returns for shareholders.
The objectives of the Group for capital management are to safeguard its capacity to continue doing business and be able to provide yield to owners as well as benefits to holders of instruments of shareholder’s equity and maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce cost of capital.

C.   Fair value hierarchy
IFRS 13 requires for financial instruments that are measured in the statement of financial position at fair value, a disclosure of fair value measurements by level according to the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3—Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
D.   Fair value estimation
The estimated fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

4   Segment information
The Company presents its segment information for airports, which are considered as strategic business units, not by type of service. All airports provide similar services to their customers. For each one of the strategic business units the Group Board, composed of the CEO, the CFO and the corporate planning manager, assess the Group’s performance from a geographic perspective and by types of activities (Airports and Others) of which seven segments have been identified to be reported:
1. Argentina
2. Brazil
3. Uruguay
4. Armenia
5. Ecuador
6. Italy
7. Perú
The activities carried out by the Group are as follows:
Airport: It relates to the operation of airport concessions in the geographic areas mentioned above.
Others: These are represented by the businesses that are not operation of airport concessions (for example: TCU S.A. and Aerocombustible S.A.)
All other segments—Assets and results of the subsidiaries that are holding companies are not analyzed by the CODM, therefore they are not separately included in the reports provided to the Board. The results of the operations of holding companies are included in the “unallocated” column. The column also includes head office and group services.
The elimination of any intersegment revenues and other significant intercompany operations are included in the “Intersegment Adjustments” column.
The results, assets and liabilities of companies that are not related to the airport business are included in the Discontinued Operation column. The main businesses that were sold by the Group are: an oil company (Latin Exploration S.A.) and construction companies (Helport S.A. and Helport do Brasil).
The performance of each segment is measured by its adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, defined, with respect to each segment, as income from continuing operations before financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization for such segment. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations excludes certain items that are not considered part of Group’s core operating results; specifically, financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization are not allocated to Group’s reportable segments.

12   Intangible assets, net (Continued)
During 2016, the Company identified impairment indicators of Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. (“ICASGA”) intangible assets in Brazil operation segment. The passenger curve of the concession notice has a significantly higher projection for the elapsed period, which indicates a reduction in the expectation of future economic benefits. Therefore, the company performed an impairment test based on cash flow projections covering the remaining concession period of 23 years (value in use), based on key assumptions estimated with historical information and management judgment. The key assumptions are: number of passengers, fees, future operating expenses and discount rate.
The carrying value of the assets impaired was as follows:
Net assets
before
impairment
Impairment
Net assets after
impairment
ICASGA
98,198 (16,638 ) 81,560
The discount rates used is the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) which is considered to be a good indicator of capital cost. WACC was determined considering the industry, country and size of the business. The discount rate used was 6.8% plus inflation.
As the calculation of the impairment applied to the intangible assets has as one of its main variables the discount rate, the company carried out a sensitivity analysis showing the impact that it would have on the result if different rates were used. The result of this analysis is shown in the table below:
As of December 31, 2016:
Rate (6.8+

No other of the Company’s CGUs, including long-lived assets with finite useful lives, were tested for impairment as no impairment indicators were identified.

The Brazilian concession agreement establishes the payment of a fixed and variable concession fee.
a)
Fixed concession fee
The Brasilia Airport concession agreement established a fixed concession fee of Brazilian Reales (R$) 4,501,132 (approximately USD 1,380,715), payable in 25 equal annual installments since inception of the concession period. The concession fee is adjusted for inflation annually based on the changes in the Brazilian IPCA. The Natal Airport concession agreement established an annual fixed concession fee of R$ 6,800 (approximately USD 2,086), payable as from the 37 th month of the inception of the concession, and adjusted periodically by the Selic rate.

24   Other liabilities (Continued)
The Company initially recognized the present value of fixed concession fee against a concession asset in intangible assets. The liability is presented as current and non-current concession fee payable within other liabilities.
The Company estimates this fixed concession fee to be divided in two parts:
(a)
Right of use if the airport operates at the existing operating capacity at the beginning of the concession, and
(b)
the second portion relates to the Company estimation of the value of the right of use after the infrastructure works that increase capacity of the airport.
Changes in the liability related to the increase capacity of the airport are accounted for against the “Concession asset”. Changes in the liabilities due to passage of time and inflation adjustment are recognized against profit or loss of the period.
b)
Variable concession fee
The concession agreement for the Brasilia Airport requires payment of an annual fee of 2% of aeronautical and commercial revenues with a cap annually established by the regulatory authority in Brazil (ANAC). After that limit, concession fee is calculated at 4.5%.

TAGSA and Toscana have post-employment benefits which are defined benefit obligation. The amount of termination benefit has been calculated using the “Projected Unit Credit Method”, making actuarial valuations at the end of the period.
The assumptions used for the purposes of valuation of Toscana Aeroporti long term benefits at December 31, 2016 are:

Annual discount rate: 1.31%

Annual inflation rate: 1.5%

Annual employee termination benefit increase rate: 2.63%
The iBoxx Eurozone Corporate AA 10+ index has been selected as the discount rate to be used, as the term of 10 or more years is comparable to the average remaining period of service of the personnel subject to the long term benefit.

Contingencies
ACI and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, including customer claims, in which third parties are seeking payment for alleged damages, reimbursement for losses or indemnity. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings are subject to substantial uncertainties. Accordingly, the potential liability with respect to such claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty. Management, with the assistance of legal counsel, periodically reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses potential financial exposure. If a potential loss from a claim, lawsuit or proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a provision is recorded. Accruals for loss contingencies reflect a reasonable estimate of the losses to be incurred based on information available to management as of the date of preparation of the financial statements, and take into consideration the Group’s litigation and settlement strategies.
The Company believes that the aggregate provisions recorded for losses in these financial statements, are adequate based upon currently available information.
AA2000 legal proceedings

During 2013 and 2014 the Argentine Federal Administration of Public Income initiated three different tax assessments proceedings against AA2000, challenging the income tax deduction made by AA2000 from certain services rendered by related companies and third parties and expenses.
Two of such tax assessments proceedings were initiated against AA2000 with respect to income tax deductions from services rendered by third parties. On November 30, 2015, AA2000 agreed to pay the

amounts claimed for these deductions through a facility payment regime set forth by General Resolution No. 3806. Pursuant to this regime, AA2000 must pay AR$18.4 million (USD 1.2 million) in 36 consecutive, monthly, installments. As of December 31, 2016 the outstanding amount is AR$12.7 million (USD 0.8 million) which is included in other taxes payable.
The third and most significant claim was initiated by the Argentine Federal Administration of Public Income against AA2000 and its consolidated subsidiaries for income taxes and income tax on undocumented exemptions. The Argentine Federal Administration of Public Income considered that certain management and administrative services provided by CAS (one of its shareholders) were not actually rendered to AA2000. On August 3, 2016, AA2000 appealed the ruling of the assessment proceeding to the Argentine National Tax Court.
In addition, in 2013, a separate criminal proceeding was initiated by a third party against two former directors of AA2000 based on the same facts as of the assessment proceeding mentioned above. The Court of first instance dismissed the claim and the prosecutor appealed the ruling. The Court of Appeals reversed the prior ruling based on the lack of evidence obtained in the original proceeding and ordered the Court of first instance to expand the fraud investigation and to determine the possible connection with the assessment proceeding mentioned above. After further investigation, the Court of first instance ratified the dismissal of AA2000, which the prosecutor subsequently appealed. The Court of Appeals once again dismissed the case against AA2000 based on the connection of both proceedings and ordered the consolidation of the fraud and the tax investigations. Consequently, the Court of first instance on economic and criminal matters No. 11 is now the intervening court for both proceedings.
Given that the facts which originated both claims were the same, both proceedings continued as a unified criminal matter on income taxes and income tax on undocumented exemptions.
Although management and legal advisors have strong arguments to prove that the management and administrative services were in fact rendered to AA2000 by CAS, on February 21, 2017 AA2000 complied with the extraordinary regime of regularization of tax obligations provided by Law No. 27,260 published in the Argentine Official Gazette on July 22, 2016. The total amount that AA2000 must pay for such extraordinary regime is USD 10.5 million in 60 consecutive, monthly payments as from March, 2017 which is included in other taxes payable.
On August 25, 2017, the prosecutor challenged the request made by AA2000 to suspend the criminal proceeding, arguing that although the company complied with the extraordinary regime for the services rendered by CAS, it failed to include under this extraordinary regime the services rendered by third parties. Legal advisors and management believe that once all the installments under the extraordinary regime are fully paid, the action to prosecute tax claims based on these facts will be fully extinguished.

Pursuant to the Final Memorandum of Agreement entered into with the Argentine Government, dated April 3, 2007, AA2000 is required to assess and remediate environmental damage at their airports in Argentina.
In August 2005, a civil action was brought by Asociación de Superficiarios de la Patagonia , a non-governmental organization, against Shell Oil Company for alleged environmental damages caused by an oil spill at Ezeiza Airport and, in September 2006, AA2000 was called to intervene as a third party at the request of the plaintiff. The lawsuit alleges that AA2000 is jointly liable with Shell due to the fact that AA2000 manages the real property at which the environmental damages occurred. AA2000 has asserted that Shell is solely responsible for any damages.

In August 2011, Asociación de Superficiarios de la Patagonia brought a civil action against AA2000 in an Argentine administrative federal court in the City of Buenos Aires ( Justicia Federal en lo Contencioso Administrativo de la Capital Federal ), under the General Environmental Law No. 25,675, requesting compensation for environmental damage caused in all of the airports under the AA2000 Concession Agreement.
The administrative federal court appointed the Argentine Center of Engineers ( Centro Argentino de Ingenieros ) to conduct research studies in connection with the required remediation works. In connection with this proceeding, Asociación de Superficiarios de la Patagonia obtained an injunction for compensation for environmental damages. In order to guarantee the injunction, an insurance policy was filed for an amount equals to AR$97.4 million (equivalent in USD 6.1 million).
The aforementioned do not constitute a contingency as soon as their execution is ordered, the disbursements must be considered included in the contractual investment plan.
Brazil legal proceedings
Administrative Proceedings before the Brazilian ANAC
Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia S.A. filed claims before the Brazilian ANAC on December 29, 2015, in the total amount of R$758.0 million (USD 253.1 million), requesting the economic re-equilibrium of Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia’s concession agreement based on (among other things) additional construction works required to complete the terminals and the runway that were not provided for in the concession agreement, and the negative impact of the issuance of new rules and regulations by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, which reduced Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia’s revenues in connection with the use of the cargo terminal. Claims in the amount of R$454.1 million (USD 120.2 million) were denied by the Brazilian ANAC, and Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia expects to initiate an arbitration proceeding with respect to the denied claims. The remaining claims are under review by the Brazilian ANAC.
In addition, on June 29, 2017, Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia filed new claims with the Brazilian ANAC in the amount of R$196.8 million (USD 61.2 million) requesting the economic re-equilibrium of ICAB’s concession agreement based on (among other things) the loss of revenues as a result of modifications to the rules and regulation affecting the air traffic system in Congonhas airport. These claims are under review by the Brazilian ANAC.
On December 29, 2015, Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. filed claims in the total amount of R$1.0 billion (USD 263.1 million) before the Brazilian ANAC requesting the economic re-equilibrium of Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante’s concession agreement based on inconsistencies in the parameters related to the viability study prepared by the government (EVTEA) under the tender documents, inconsistencies related to the control tower and additional capital expenditures required to complete the airport that were not provided for in the concession agreement. Claims in the amount of R$956.8 million (USD 251.7 million) were denied by the Brazilian ANAC, and Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. expects to initiate an arbitration proceeding with respect to the denied claims. The remainders of the claims are under review by the Brazilian ANAC.
Civil Proceedings
Inframérica and its subsidiaries are defendants in various civil lawsuits, which individually and in the aggregate are not material.

Inframerica Participações S.A.
Inframerica Participações S.A. identified three payments totaling R$ 858 made during 2014, when Infravix Participações S.A. was still an indirect shareholder of the Inframerica Participações S.A., to individuals or entities for which Inframerica Participações S.A. was unable to clearly identify a proper purpose. Through the date of the issuance of these financial statements Inframerica Participações S.A. has received no official notice that it is under investigation by Brazilian authorities in connection with these payments. Inframerica Participações S.A. could be exposed to reputational harm and other adverse effects in connection with these payments. Additionally, if these payments are ultimately found to have been improper fines and sanctions may be applied, as well as other penalties.
Based on the opinion from external legal counsel of Inframerica Participações S.A., that made an assessment based on a criminal, civil and administrative legislation, Inframerica Participações S.A. doesn’t expect, considering the facts and circumstances known to date, losses to be material.

The concession agreement includes the administration and operation of certain duty-free areas for a 20 year-period, in order to develop commercial and service activities, as well as the improvement of existing facilities and the construction of new ones. Duty-free areas are entitled to certain tax benefits, including a 100% exemption from income tax, as well as VAT, among others.
In 2010, a new Production, Commercial and Investment Code was enacted in Ecuador, which repealed the law that created tax free zones. However, transitional provisions in such code included a grandfather clause, which determined that concessions granted by previous regulations were not affected by these new dispositions.
Notwithstanding that, tax authority reviewed 2010 and 2012 fiscal years, and determined additional income tax charges for USD 1.9 and USD 1.4 million, respectively.
TAGSA paid the amount regarding 2010’s fiscal year and disputed the validity of 2012’s claims, based on the opinion of its tax and legal advisors.
Fiscal years 2013-2016 are open for review, but TAGSA’s management consider that the company has strong arguments to support its position.

In December 2015, ACI Airports International S.à r.l. acquired 43.05% of the shares of Inframérica Participaçoes S.A. (“Inframérica”) and 49.95% of Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. (“ICASGA”) in order to gain control of the aforementioned companies.

The fair value of the net assets amounted to USD 189 million. The most significant assets acquired represented concession assets at a fair value of USD 1.34 billion. Goodwill was measured at acquisition date as the amount by which the aggregate of  (i) the fair value of consideration transferred plus (ii) the fair value of the non-controlling interest recognized plus (iii) the fair value of the previously held interests in the acquired entities exceeds the total fair value of net assets acquired recognized in accordance with IFRS 3. Goodwill amounted to USD 51 million. This goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
In connection with the fair value of net assets acquired, assets and liabilities included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position are mainly related with those assets and liabilities acquired in the above mentioned business combinations and other acquisitions and investments.

Accounting policy choice for non-controlling interests
The group recognizes non-controlling interests in an acquired entity either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets. This decision is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. The Company has elected to recognize the non-controlling interests in ICAB at fair value. See note 2.F for the group’s accounting policies for business combinations.
Previously held equity interest in both acquired entities
The previously held interests in both acquired entities was re-measured at fair value at acquisition date. The result of such re-measurement was a gain of USD 11,504 and was included in share of income or loss in associates in the statement of income.

34   Subsequent events
During 2017, ACI Aiports S.à r.l. (the Controlling Entity) made cash contributions to ACI as free distributable reserves for a total amount of USD 6.1 million and ACI made refunds of the free distributable reserve for a total amount of USD 28.9 million.
On January 23, 2017, Notes issued in April 2010 by AA 2000 were redeemed in full with the Company’s own funds, so the amount equivalent to the mentioned redemption will be aimed at infrastructure works in the airports of the Company belonging to Group “A” of the National System of Airports.
On February 6, 2017, AA2000 S.A. renegotiated the Notes maturing in 2020, by issuing new 6.875% senior secured notes for a nominal amount of USD 400 million due 2027. The principal will be amortized in 32 equal quarterly installments as from May 1, 2019. The notes are secured by the assignment of fiduciary rights of certain revenue of AA2000. As a consequence of these transactions the restrictions on distribution of dividends were significantly eased after December 31, 2016.
On March 13, 2017 AA2000 early redeemed in full the notes issued in December 2010 for a principal amount of USD 157.5 million.
On May 2017, the Government of Perú and Management of Kuntur Wasi have agreed a temporary suspension of contractual obligations for a term of 90 days from June 1, 2017 in order to review and implement the recommendations granted by the Government.
On July 13, 2017, the Government of Peru notified the unilateral decision to rescind the concession agreement for the Nuevo Aeropuerto Internacional de Chinchero. The Company has stated its intention to reach an agreement, however, if it is not achieved, will initiate legal proceedings as established in the concession agreement. In line with this, the Company notified the state of Perú of its disagreement with the unilateral resolution and its intention to begin a Direct Treatment procedure, such procedure as provided in the Concession Agreement. The Company also communicated the non-compliance of certain state obligations under the 1996 Bilateral Investment Agreement between Perú and Argentina for the promotion and protection of investments caused by the mentioned unilateral resolution.
In line with this, the Company notified the state of Perú of its disagreement with the unilateral resolution and its intention to begin a Direct Treatment procedure, such procedure as provided in the Concession Agreement. The Company also communicated the non-compliance of certain state obligations under the 1996 Bilateral Investment Agreement between Perú and Argentina for the promotion and protection of investments caused by the mentioned unilateral resolution.
On February 24, 2017, the Peruvian Prosecutor initiated an investigation under the Peruvian Law against certain management of Kuntur Wasi, for alleged conspiracy with governmental authorities to obtain the concession for the operation of the new Cusco International Airport in Chinchero. On October 10, 2017, upon expiration of the statutory term for the completion of the initial investigation, the Peruvian prosecutor filed an amendment to the complaint, which is now based on alleged instances of crimes against the state and money laundering by Kuntur Wasi under the Organized Crime Law.
As set forth by the Peruvian prosecutor in this amended complaint, the investigation will now center around Kuntur Wasi not having funding available at the time of the award of the concession to complete the bid project, the provision of certain loans and payments made to Kuntur Wasi from Cedicor, APP, Converse Bank and Liska, and payments made to Proyecta y Construye S.A. from Kuntur Wasi in connection with engineering services for the construction of the Cusco Airport.

1   General information and corporate reorganization
General Information
Corporación América Airports S.A. or “The Company” (“CAAP”, formerly known as A.C.I. Airports International S.á r.l.) is a holding company primarily engaged through its operating subsidiaries in the acquisition, development and operation of airport concessions. The Company and its operating subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Group”.
The Company was formed as a private limited liability company under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on December 14, 2012. The Company is ultimately controlled by Southern Cone Foundation (“SCF”), a foundation, organized under the laws of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The address of its registered office is in Vaduz.
The Group currently has operations in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Armenia, Italy, Ecuador and Perú.
A list of the principal Group’s subsidiaries is included in Note 2 of the Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2016.
Corporate Reorganization
SCF’s airport business was historically conducted through a large number of entities as to which there was no single holding entity but which were separately owned by entities directly or indirectly controlled by SCF.
In order to facilitate the Company’s initial public offering, SCF completed a reorganization (the “Reorganization”) whereby, each of the operating and holding entities under SCF’s common control, were ultimately contributed to the Company. Prior to the contribution of the businesses to the Company, certain initial preparatory steps were conducted whereby certain business activities were either transferred or sold between entities in several corporate reorganization steps under local laws. None of these reorganizations affected the common control structure of the entities forming the Group. Also, certain other SCF’s businesses activities were either sold or transferred to other companies and not contributed to the Company.
The reorganization process was completed on December 22, 2016 with the contribution of the shares of American International Airports LLC, the holding company which owns directly and indirectly controls the airports in Armenia and Argentina, to Corporación América Airports S.A.
The Reorganization was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control for the interests in the contributed businesses which were contributed by the controlling shareholder. As such, the transactions were accounted for under the predecessor cost method. Under the predecessor cost method, the results and financial positions of the contributed businesses were combined and consolidated with and into the Company own operations as from the first day of the earliest period presented in the financial statements as if these businesses had always been part of the Group.
In addition, in connection with the initial public offering, the Company was converted on September 14, 2017, from a Luxembourg Limited Liability Company named A.C.I. Airports International S.à r.l. (“ACI”) into a Luxembourg Corporation and changed its name to Corporación América Airports S.A. (the “Conversion”). In conjunction with the Conversion, all of the Company’s outstanding equity interests were converted into one billion five hundred million (1,500,000,000) shares of common stock which are held by ACI Airports S.à r.l. (controlling shareholder).In connection with the Conversion, Corporación América Airports S.A. continues holding all assets of ACI and assumed all of its liabilities and obligations.

1   General information and corporate reorganization (Continued)
The main adjustment of the Conversion principally give effect to the recognition of the share capital of Corporación América Airports S.A. for a total nominal value of USD 1,500 million (USD 1 per share) and the elimination of the shares of A.C.I. Airports International S.à. r.l. for a total amount of USD 20 thousands and of the Free distributable reserves for a total amount of USD 1,499.9 million.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been approved for issuance by the Company on November 17, 2017.
2   Basis of presentation and accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements are consistent with the Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements ended at December 31, 2016. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Basis of presentation
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).
Elimination of all material intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and the other companies and their respective subsidiaries have been made.
The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain accounting estimates and assumptions that might affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting dates, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, the significant areas of judgment by management in the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the main areas of assumptions and estimates are consistently as those applied in the Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Assets and liabilities are classified as current if settlement is expected within 12 months.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period and there were no changes in risk management policies since the end of the year ended December 31, 2016.
2.2   Changes in the accounting polices
There were no changes on accounting policies and accounting methods. The standards that are mandatory effective on or after January 1, 2017 were applied by the group, and as a result the Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards.

2   Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Continued)
New and amended standards not yet adopted for CAAP.
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for September 30, 2017 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the group. The group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.
IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”
IFRS 9 — Financial Instruments, and subsequent amendments, issued in July 2014. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning January 2018 and replaces the previously issued versions and establishes new requirements for hedge accounting and a new model of impairment for financial assets.
The group has reviewed its financial assets and liabilities and is expecting the following impact from the adoption of the new standard on 1 January 2018:
The majority of the group’s financial instruments are currently classified as held to maturity. Those instruments will satisfy the conditions for classification as amortized cost and hence there will be no change to the accounting for these assets.
There will be no impact on the group’s accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the group does not have any such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed.
As the Group has no hedging instruments, the new hedging requirements will not affect the Group’s financial condition or results of operations.
The new impairment model requires the recognition of impairment provisions based on expected credit losses (ECL) rather than only incurred credit losses as is the case under IAS 39.
It applies to financial assets classified at amortized cost, debt instruments measured at fair value measured through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), contract assets under IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers , lease receivables, loan commitments and certain financial guarantee contracts. The Company’s management has not yet finalized the assessment of the potential impact that the application of these amendment may have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. These are expected to change the nature and extent of the group’s disclosures about its financial instruments particularly in the year of the adoption of the new standard.
IFRS 15, “Revenue from contracts with customers”
IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers.
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard replaces IAS 18 ‘Revenue’ and IAS 11 ‘Construction contracts’ and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and earlier application is permitted. The Company’s management has not yet finalized the assessment of the potential impact that the application of this standard may have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

2   Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Continued)
IFRS 16, “Leases”
In January 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16, “Leases”, which will result in almost all leases being recognized on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognized. IFRS 16 must be applied on annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The Company’s management is currently assessing the potential impact that the application of this standard may have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Other standards and interpretations non-significant for the Company’s financial statements:
 — 
Amendment to IFRS 2 — Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions — Annual Improvements to IFRS 2014 – 2016 cycle.
 — 
IFRIC 22 — Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration.
 — 
IFRIC 23 — Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments.
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
3   Segment information
For management purposes, the Company analyzes its business in a consistently manner as was included in Note 2.W of the Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and has the same segments to be reported as follows:
1.

Others: These are represented by the businesses that are not operation of airport concessions (for example: TCU S.A. and Aerocombustible S.A.)
All other segments — Assets and results of the subsidiaries that are holding companies are not analyzed by the CODM, therefore they are not separately included in the reports provided to the Board. The results of the operations of holding companies are included in the “unallocated” column. The column also includes head office and group services.
The elimination of any intersegment revenues and other significant intercompany operations are included in the “Intersegment Adjustments” column.

3   Segment information (Continued)
The results, assets and liabilities of companies that are not related to the airport business are included in the Discontinued Operation column. The main businesses that were sold by the Group are: construction companies (Helport S.A. and Helport do Brasil).
The performance of each segment is measured by its adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, defined, with respect to each segment, as income from continuing operations before financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization for such segment. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations excludes certain items that are not considered part of Group’s core operating results; specifically, financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization are not allocated to Group’s reportable segments.

16   Contingencies, commitments and restrictions on the distribution of profits
Contingencies
CAAP and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, including customer claims, in which third parties are seeking payment for alleged damages, reimbursement for losses or indemnity. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings are subject to substantial uncertainties. Accordingly, the potential liability with respect to such claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty. Management, with the assistance of legal counsel, periodically reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses potential financial exposure. If a potential loss from a claim, lawsuit or proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a provision is recorded. Accruals for loss contingencies reflect a reasonable estimate of the losses to be incurred based on information available to management as of the date of preparation of the financial statements, and take into consideration the Group’s litigation and settlement strategies.

The Company believes that the aggregate provisions recorded for losses in these financial statements, are adequate based upon currently available information.
There are no other lawsuits or legal proceedings different from the ones included in the Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 except for the following.
Peruvian Proceedings
Unilateral Termination
On July 13, 2017, the Government of Perú notified the unilateral decision to rescind the concession agreement for the Nuevo Aeropuerto Internacional de Chinchero. The Company has stated its intention to reach an agreement, however, if it is not achieved, will initiate legal proceedings as established in the concession agreement. In line with this, the Company notified the State of Perú of its disagreement with the unilateral resolution and its intention to begin a Direct Treatement procedure, such procedure as provided in the Concession Agreement. The Company also communicated the non-compliance of certain state obligations under the 1996 Bilateral Investment Agreement between Perú and Argentina for the promotion and protection of investments caused by the mentioned unilateral resolution.
State and Money Laundering Complaint
On February 24, 2017, the Peruvian Prosecutor initiated an investigation under the Peruvian Law against certain members of management of Kuntur Wasi, for alleged conspiracy with governmental authorities to obtain the concession for the operation of the new Cusco International Airport in Chinchero. On October 10, 2017, upon expiration of the statutory term for the completion of the initial investigation, the Peruvian prosecutor filed an amendment to the complaint, which is now based on alleged instances of crimes against the state and money laundering by Kuntur Wasi under the Organized Crime Law.
As set forth by the Peruvian prosecutor in this amended complaint, the investigation will now center around Kuntur Wasi not having funding available at the time of the award of the concession to complete the bid project, the provision of certain loans and payments made to Kuntur Wasi from Cedicor, APP, Converse Bank and Liska, and payments made to Proyecta y Construye S.A. from Kuntur Wasi in connection with engineering services for the construction of the Cusco Airport.
Management and legal advisors have strong arguments to defend against these allegations, considering that such allegations are without merit.
There are no new commitments or significant changes related to the concession agreements in the current period from the ones included in the Restated Combined Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Restrictions to the distribution of profits and payment of dividends

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Management
of Inframerica Participações S.A.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Inframerica Participações S.A. and its subsidiary, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inframerica Participações S.A. and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board .

The Company is a non-listed company constituted on March 1, 2012, with the purpose, as established in the concession agreement resulting from auction no. 02/2011 of the National Civil Aviation Agency (“ANAC”) (“Concession Agreement”), to hold equity shares of Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasília S.A.
The company and its subsidiary (together the “Group” or “Consolidated”) are carrying out the partial construction, expansion, maintenance and operation of the Brasília International Airport, named Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek Airport, as well as other authorized activities, necessary or useful for the execution of its corporate purpose, in accordance with the provisions of the Concession Agreement. Inframerica Participações S.A. holds 51% equity shares of Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasília S.A.

Notes to the financial statements at December 31, 2015
All amounts in thousands of dollars unless otherwise stated
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic acquisition cost convention, as modified by some financial assets measured at fair value.
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3.
(a)   Consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are being presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Inframerica Participações S.A. basically holds shares on Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasília S.A. and it’s individual financial statements are irrelevant when analyzing the consolidated figures.
2.3   Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and with immaterial risk of change in value.
2.4   Financial Assets
2.4.1   Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets, upon initial recognition, in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available for sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired.
(a)   Financial assets measure at fair value through profit or loss
The financial assets measure at fair value through profit or loss are held for trading. A financial asset is held for trading if acquired or originated principally for the purpose of generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in price or dealer’s margin or if it is part of a portfolio of identified instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. Assets in this category are classified in current assets and comprise balances held in fixed rates investment funds, categorized as “Cash and Cash Equivalents”.
(b)   Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They typically arise when an entity provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. They are presented in current assets, except for those with a maturity date of over 12 months after the balance effective date (classified in non-current assets). The Company’s loans and receivables represent “Accounts Receivable from Clients and Other Accounts Receivable”.
2.4.2   Recognition and measurement
Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of income. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Group has

transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to the cash flows from the assets expired or have been transferred. In the latter case, providing that the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards. Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. The loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
2.5   Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of the Group’s business. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment of trade receivables.
2.6   Impairment
2.6.1   Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Management assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
The criteria that the Company uses to define whether there is a loss objective evidence by impairment include:

Debts overdue for more than 90 days;

Relevant financial difficulty of the issuer or borrower;

A breach of contract, such as default or arrears on principal or interest payments;

The borrower is likely to declare bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;

Disappearance of an active market for those financial assets due to financial difficulties; or

Observable data indicating a measurable reduction in future estimated cash flow from the financial assets portfolio since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease may not yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio.
The Company first evaluates whether there is an objective evidence of impairment.

The provision for risks on accounts receivable consists of an amount deemed sufficient to cover possible losses on the realization of receivables and which takes into account amounts overdue for more than 90 days, net of recoveries, regardless of the initiation of judicial proceedings for receipt;

Other operations: Consists of individual analyses and an amount deemed sufficient to overcome eventual losses in the credit realization.
The Company understands that the provision for risks on accounts receivable is appropriate and reflects the history of internal losses.

2.7   Prepaid expenses
Prepaid expenses, mainly insurance premiums, are measured at cost, net of amortization, which are recognized in profit or loss in accordance with the terms of the insurance agreement.
2.8   Current and deferred income tax and social contribution
The income tax and social contribution benefit or expense for the period comprise current and deferred taxes. Taxes on profit are recognized in the statement of income, except to the extent that they relate to items recognized in comprehensive income or directly in equity. In such cases, the taxes are also recognized in comprehensive income or directly in equity.
The current and deferred income tax and social contribution are calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Group entities operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken by the Group in income tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
The current income tax and social contribution are presented net, separated by taxpaying entity, in liabilities when there are amounts payable, or in assets when the amounts prepaid exceed the total amount due on the reporting date.
Deferred income tax and social contribution are recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred taxes are not accounted for if they arise from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences and/or tax losses can be utilized.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for a deferred tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented net in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right and the intention to offset them upon the calculation of current taxes, generally when related to the same legal entity and the same tax authority. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities in different entities or in different countries are generally presented separately, and not on a net basis.
2.9   Other receivables
Other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment of other receivables.
2.10   Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at the cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses pursuant to IAS 36, where applicable. Cost of acquisition includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Historic acquisition cost includes finance costs related to the acquisition of qualifying assets.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these costs will flow to the Group and they can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced items or parts is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are recorded on the statement of income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

2.11   Intangible assets
As per the Concession Agreement the Company is a service provider, constructing or improving the infrastructure used to provide a public service, as well as operating and maintaining this infrastructure during a certain period.
Intangible assets costs includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items, which includes finance costs related to the acquisition of qualifying assets.
The Concession Agreement does not include any remuneration in financial assets. Therefore, the compensation is obtained through the infrastructure operation. The agreement also requires payment by the Company to the concession agency in financial assets in addition to the obligation to expand the existing infrastructure.
Construction carried out during the term of concession will be delivered to the government in exchange for intangible assets representing the right to charge users for the services provided, and the revenue will be subsequently generated by the services provided.
The amortization of the intangible asset, represented by the recognition of the right to operate the infrastructure and the expenses incurred to expand this structure, is recognized in the profit or loss for the year, in accordance with the economic benefit curve expected over the 308 month period counted from the beginning of the airport operation until the end of the concession period, and the estimated passenger curve was used as the foundation for amortization.
(a)   Right of concession (Grant)
The Company recognized an asset related to the concession of the rights to construct and operate the Brasília Airport as an intangible asset on the date of commencement of operations of the airport, and will be fully amortized up to the end of the concession period.
(b)   Concession infrastructure
The concession agreement is accounted for in accordance with the principles included in IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Arrangements”. The Company recognized an intangible asset for:
a)
Fixed fees payables as the result of the acquisition of the right (license) to charge users for the service of airport concession (see Note 15),
b)
Right to obtain benefits for services provided using the assets built under the construction services performed under the concession contracts.
Acquisitions correspond, according to the terms of the Concession contract, to the improvements over existing infrastructure to increase the useful life or its capacity, or the construction of new infrastructure.
The intangible asset for infrastructure under the concession agreement is amortized over the contract term in accordance with an appropriate method reflecting the rate of consumption of the concession asset’s economic benefits as from the date the infrastructure is brought into service.
Accounting of the fixed concession fee under the concession agreements are described in Note 2.13.
As part of the obligations arising from the concession agreements, the Company provides construction or upgrade services. IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Arrangements” requires to recognize revenues and costs from the construction or upgrade services provided. The fair value of the construction or upgrade service is equal to the construction or upgrade costs plus a reasonable margin, which the Group has estimated at an average of 2% to 3%.

(c)   Softwares
Computer software licenses purchased are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized as an expense as incurred.
2.12   Suppliers
Suppliers are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due in one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
2.13   Commitments to the Grantor
The commitments paid to the grantor derived from the concession agreement is recognized on the terms defined in the concession agreement:
(a)
Fixed concession fee is recognized at the beginning of the concession as it is reliably measurable, as a counterpart an intangible asset is recognized, this type of fee is independent form the revenue.
(b)
Variable fees payables that are define as a percentage over certain revenue streams, recognized monthly by monthly in the income statement
The government, through ANAC , has established in the Concession Contract that the Company must pay a fixed and a variable contribution during the whole concession period.
The fixed and variable contributions are recorded under the name “Commitments to the Grantor” in the current and non-current liabilities, considering the periods shorter and longer than one year and amortized by financial settlements.
(a)   Grant
The fixed contribution established in the concession agreement amounts to US$ 1,152,895 divided into 25 equal and consecutive annual installments adjusted by the National Broad Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”). This obligation was recorded at present value.
Airport operation rights received as consideration are recorded as intangible assets at the same amount and reported under investments in airport operating projects. The rights received as consideration for construction and expansion services are recognized at the cost of production for the period in which the production costs are incurred. Financial charges are recorded are therefore recognized as current expenses of the period.
(b)   Variable contribution
The Company is also subject to a variable contribution, determined by the granting authority, which is calculated based on the total gross revenue of tariff and non-tariff income of the Company. It is applied a percentage of 2%, up to a limit of annual revenue stipulated by ANAC and, after this limit is reached, it is also applied a percentage of 4.5%, acknowledged by the Government. The limit established in 2015, according to the Concession Agreement, was US$ 107,200 (2014—US$ 86,142), an amount already updated by the accumulated inflation. The payment of this contribution will always occur on the submission date of the audited financial statements for the ANAC. The limit date established in the Concession Agreement for submission of the audited financial statements is May 15 of the subsequent fiscal year.
2.14   Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs incurred and subsequently measured at amortized costs.

All amounts in thousands of dollars unless otherwise stated
2.15   Other payables
Other payables are recognized at known or estimable amounts plus, when applicable, corresponding charges and monetary variations incurred up to the balance date. When required, the liability elements arising from long term operations are adjusted to present value.
2.16   Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities.
Revenue from airports operations includes:
—Tariff, which are those generally regulated under each airport’s concession agreement. It consists of passengers departure fees, landing, parking and other fees paid by the airlines.
—Non-tariff: those are typically not regulated under the applicable concession agreement.
—Construction: IFRIC 12 requires to recognize revenues and costs from the construction or upgrade services provided. Construction revenue equals the construction or upgrade costs plus a reasonable margin.
Revenue is recognized when the amount of revenue may be reliably measured; it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company, and when collection is reasonably assured.
Revenue is shown net of value-added tax. Intercompany balances with subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.
(a)   Tariff revenue
The Company obtains revenue by charging users of the airport infrastructure. Tariff prices are established by the concession agency through the Annex 4 of the Concession Agreement and are updated annually by the IPCA—Broad national consumer price index. Tariff revenue is affected by two factors: X and Q.
The X-factor was established to capture the variables associated with airport industry productivity and efficiency. It may generate a positive or negative effect on tariffs, and the start of its application occurs from the first tariff readjustment according to item 6.4 of Annex 19 to the Notice—Concession contract.
The Q-factor measures the quality of services provided through parameters established in the Airport Exploitation Plan (“PEA”) and may positively or negatively affect tariffs. The concessionaire will use the Q-factor to affect tariff adjustments from the end of the first year of full operation of the airport. Thereafter, if the concessionaire fails to meet the Q-factor standards the tariffs will be reduced by 30% (thirty percent) in the first year and 70% (seventy percent) in the second year. After the third year of failure there will be a full reduction (one hundred percent) of the tariff.
As established in the Concession Agreement, every five years there will be a review of the concession parameters aiming to preserve the economic-financial balance. This review covers the service quality indicators that are the basis for calculating the Q-factor, the methodology for calculating the X and Q factors and the discount rate to be used in the marginal cash flow.
(b)   Non-tariff revenue
The Company also obtains revenue by operating other activities at the airport, such as the allocation of spaces granted to it, parking lots and telecommunications services to companies and institutions that are on the airport site. This revenue is not governed by any rule established by the concession agency and is freely negotiated between the companies concerned.

2.17   Costs
Fixed grant amortization and infrastructure amortization are recognized in the profit or loss for the year, in accordance with the economic benefit curve expected over the concession period counted from the beginning of the airport operation until the end of the concession period, and the estimated passenger curve was used as the foundation for amortization. Other costs are recognized on the accrual basis.
2.18   Expenses
Expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.
3   Critical accounting estimates and judgments
Critical accounting estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors including future event expectations, deemed reasonable in the circumstances.
Based on assumptions, the Company makes estimates concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Such estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities accounting values within the next financial year are addressed below:
(a)   Intangible assets amortization
The amortization of intangible assets is carried out over the concession term and the calculation must represent the consumption standard for the future economic benefits, which occur due to the demand curve. In December 2015, the rate used was 4.01% (2014—5.34%) which represents the participation of the period in the total number of passengers expected for the entire concession.
(b)   Discount rate
The concession present value was calculated using the rate of 5,5% a.a. plus market inflation rate, estimated based on similar transactions.
(c)   Deferred income tax and social contribution valuation
Significant judgment is required to determine the tax provision. The Company also recognizes provisions for situations in which it is likely that the additional amounts of taxes will be due. Whenever the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts initially assumed, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which the final figure is established.
(d)   Impairment
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that an asset is impaired. An asset is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset that can be reliably estimated.
The amount of any impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the statement of income. An impairment loss may be recognized, even for intangible assets subject to amortization. After the recognition of the impairment loss, the adjusted carrying amount of the intangible asset will be the new accounting basis for amortization.

(e)   Application of IFRIC 12
The Company has carried out a comprehensive implementation of the standards applicable to the accounting treatment of their concession and has determined that, among others IFRIC 12 is applicable to us. The Company treats its investments related to improvements and upgrades to be performed in connection with the concession obligation under the intangible asset model established by IFRIC 12, as all investments required by the concession obligation, regardless of their nature, directly increase the maximum tariff per traffic unit. Accordingly, all amounts invested under the concession obligation have a direct correlation to the amount of fees the Company will be able to charge each passenger or cargo service provider, and thus, a direct correlation to the amount of revenues the Company will be able to generate. As a result, the Company defines all expenditures associated with investments required by the concession obligation as revenue generating activities given that they ultimately provide future benefits, whereby subsequent improvements and upgrades made to the concession are recognized as intangible assets based on the principles of IFRIC 12. Additionally, compliance with the committed investments per the Master Development Programs is mandatory, as well as the fulfillment of the maximum tariff and therefore, in case of a failure to meet any one of these obligations, the Company could be subject to sanctions and the concessions could be revoked.
4   Financial risk management
4.1   Identification and valuation of financial instruments
The Company has operations involving financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, including financial investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable to suppliers.
The amounts recorded in current assets and liabilities have immediate liquidity or maturity, mostly in terms of less than three months. Considering the terms and characteristics of these instruments, which are systematically renegotiated, the book values approximate the fair values. The amounts accounted for are close to those realized.
4.2   Financial risk management policies
The Company has and follows a risk management policy, which provides guidance in relation to transactions and requires the diversification of transactions and corresponding entries. According to this policy, the nature and general position of the financial risks are regularly monitored and managed to evaluate the results and financial impact on the cash flow.
4.3   Capital management
The Company’s purposes when managing its capital are to safeguard the Company’s continuity capacity to offer any return to the shareholders and benefits to any other interested parties, in addition to maintaining an optimal capital structure to decrease such costs.
In order to maintain or adjust the Company’s capital structure, the management may, or may propose to, in the event that shareholder approval is required, review the dividend payment policy, return capital to the shareholders or even issue new shares or sell assets to decrease, for instance, the indebtedness level. So far, the Company has not made any dividend distribution.
4.4    Market risk
4.4.1   Interest Rate Risks
The associated risk arises from the possibility of the Company incurring losses due to fluctuations in the interest rates that increase the financial expenses related to the commitments currently assumed.

4.5   Credit risks
The Company’s policy considers the level of credit risk which it is willing to bear in the course of its business.
4.6   Liquidity risks
The cash flow forecast is performed by the Finance Department. This department monitors continuous estimates of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. It also maintains sufficient support from the shareholders, including a formal support letter for the next 12 months, to guarantee that the Company does not breach the limits or clauses of the loan (when applicable). This estimate takes into consideration the debt financing plans of the Company, compliance with clauses, compliance with internal goals related to the balance sheet ratio and, if applicable, external or legal regulatory requirements.

4.7   Fair value estimates
It is assumed that the balances of accounts receivable from customers and accounts payable to suppliers based on the book value, less losses (impairment ) in the case of accounts receivable, are close to their fair values. The fair values of financial liabilities, for disclosure purposes, are estimated by discounting future contractual cash flow at the prevailing market interest rate available to the Company for similar financial instruments. Borrowings are specifically contracts with BNDES for the construction and are presented substantially at fair value
4.8   Net working capital
In December 2015, the Company had negative net working capital of US$ 40,487 mainly due to the recognition of the fixed contribution to be paid to the government in July 2016. Shareholders are committed with capital to ensure the operations.

The Brasilia Airport concession agreement established a fixed concession fee of Brazilian Reales (R$) 4,501,132 (approximately USD 1,380,715), payable in 25 equal annual installments since inception of the concession period. The concession fee is adjusted for inflation annually based on the changes in the Brazilian IPCA.
The Company initially recognized the present value of fixed concession fee against a concession asset in intangible assets. The liability is presented as current and non-current concession fee payable Commitments to the grantor.
The Company estimates this fixed concession fee to be divided in two parts:
(a)
Right of use if the airport operates at the existing operating capacity at the beginning of the concession, and
(b)
the second portion relates to the Company estimation of the value of the right of use after the infrastructure works that increase capacity of the airport.
Changes in the liability related to the increase capacity of the airport are accounted for against the “Concession asset”. Changes in the liabilities due to passage of time and inflation adjustment are recognized against profit or loss of the period.
The concession agreement for the Brasilia Airport also requires payment of an annual fee of 2% of aeronautical and commercial revenues with a cap annually established by the regulatory authority in Brazil (ANAC). After that limit, concession fee is calculated at 4.5%.
16   Advances received
The Company records as advance payments from customers the values the corresponding entries for which relate to the transmission of the exclusive right to operation of certain business, within the scope of activities that may be the object of generation of non-tariff revenue. The respective values are deferred over the terms of the contracts.

Notes to the financial statements at December 31, 2015
All amounts in thousands of dollars unless otherwise stated
As per Note 18, the Company filed an ordinary action against the Brazilian ANAC requesting the economic re-equilibrium of the concession agreement and suspend the payment of the annual granting fees, which required the Company to make a court deposit in the amount of R$246,8 million (USD 76 million) in January 2016.
In 2017, due to the lack of decision regarding the rebalance of the concession agreement with ANAC, the Company required again a judicial permission to suspend the concession payments due in 2017 by doing insurance agreements to warranty the transaction. The Company is waiting the judicial decision regarding the requirement.
The Company identified three payments totaling R$ 858 made during 2014, when Infravix Participações S.A. was still an indirect shareholder of the Company, to individuals or entities for which the Company was unable to clearly identify a proper purpose. Through the date of the issuance of these financial statements the Company has received no official notice that it is under investigation by Brazilian authorities in connection with these payments. The Company could be exposed to reputational harm and other adverse effects in connection with these payments. Additionally, if these payments are ultimately found to have been improper fines and sanctions may be applied, as well as other penalties.
Based on the opinion from external legal counsel, that made an assessment based on a criminal, civil and administrative legislation, the Company doesn’t expect, considering the facts and circumstances known to date, losses to be material.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

1      General Information
Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. (“Inframerica” or the “Company”), incorporated on November 4, 2011 is a privately held corporation whose sole and exclusive purpose is to carry out the partial construction, maintenance and exploitation of the São Gonçalo do Amarante International Airport, located in the city of São Gonçalo do Amarante, State of Rio Grande do Norte, as well as other authorized activities, necessary or useful for the execution of its corporate purpose, in accordance with the provisions of the Contract and previously authorized by the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC).
The concession has a 28 year term which may be extended for another five years. The Company’s compensation will be paid through the collection of airport charges and other commercial activities that generate non-tariff revenue, as provided in a concession agreement. The contract is divided into two phases:
Phase 1: Airport Construction by the Company.
Phase 2: Maintenance and exploitation of the São Gonçalo do Amarante International Airport.
Once the concession term is over, the Concession agency will take over the provision of services, and every reversible asset will be reversed under the concession agreement.
Among the obligations of Inframerica established in the Concession Agreement there is an annual payment of the Fixed Contribution to the Granting Authority in the amount of US$ 1,742, adjusted by the SELIC rate, from the 37 th month, from the date of effectiveness of the contract. The airport began its operations in May 2014.
At the end of the concession, the assets linked to the airport exploitation will revert to the Government with no rights to any compensation for the Company.

Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A.
Notes to the financial statements at December 31, 2015
All amounts in thousands of dollars unless otherwise stated
2.1   Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and disclose all (and only) the applicable significant information related to the financial statements, which is consistent with the information utilized by management in the performance of its duties.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic acquisition cost convention, as modified by some financial assets measured at fair value.
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in Note 3.
2.2   Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and with immaterial risk of change in value.
2.3   Financial Assets
2.3.1   Classification
The Company classifies its financial assets, upon initial recognition, in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available for sale. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired.
(a)   Financial assets measure at fair value through profit or loss
The financial assets measure at fair value through profit or loss are held for trading. A financial asset is held for trading if acquired or originated principally for the purpose of generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in price or dealer’s margin or if it is part of a portfolio of identified instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking. Assets in this category are classified in current assets and comprise balances held in fixed rates investment funds, categorized as “Cash and Cash Equivalents”.
(b)   Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They typically arise when an entity provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. They are presented in current assets, except for those with a maturity date of over 12 months after the balance effective date (classified in non-current assets). The Company’s loans and receivables represent “Accounts Receivable from Clients and Other Accounts Receivable”.
2.3.2   Recognition and measurement
Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of income. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment of trade receivables.
2.5    Impairment
2.5.1   Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Management assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
The criteria that the Company uses to define whether there is a loss objective evidence by impairment include:

Debts overdue for more than 90 days;

Relevant financial difficulty of the issuer or borrower;

A breach of contract, such as default or arrears on principal or interest payments;

The borrower is likely to declare bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;

Disappearance of an active market for those financial assets due to financial difficulties; or

Observable data indicating a measurable reduction in future estimated cash flow from the financial assets portfolio since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease may not yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio.
The Company first evaluates whether there is an objective evidence of impairment.

The provision for risks on accounts receivable consists of an amount deemed sufficient to cover possible losses on the realization of receivables and which takes into account amounts overdue for more than 90 days, net of recoveries, regardless of the initiation of judicial proceedings for receipt;

Other operations: Consists of individual analyses and an amount deemed sufficient to overcome eventual losses in the credit realization.
The Company understands that the provision for risks on accounts receivable is appropriate and reflects the history of internal losses.
2.6   Prepaid expenses
Prepaid expenses, mainly insurance premiums, are measured at cost, net of amortization, which are recognized in profit or loss in accordance with the terms of the insurance agreement.

2.7   Current and deferred income tax and social contribution
The income tax and social contribution benefit or expense for the period comprise current and deferred taxes. Taxes on profit are recognized in the statement of income, except to the extent that they relate to items recognized in comprehensive income or directly in equity. In such cases, the taxes are also recognized in comprehensive income or directly in equity.
The current and deferred income tax and social contribution are calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken by the Company in income tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
The current income tax and social contribution are presented net, separated by taxpaying entity, in liabilities when there are amounts payable, or in assets when the amounts prepaid exceed the total amount due on the reporting date.
Deferred income tax and social contribution are recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred taxes are not accounted for if they arise from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences and/or tax losses can be utilized.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for a deferred tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented net in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right and the intention to offset them upon the calculation of current taxes, generally when related to the same legal entity and the same tax authority. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities in different entities or in different countries are generally presented separately, and not on a net basis.
2.8   Other receivables
Other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment of other receivables.
2.9   Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at the cost of acquisition less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses pursuant to IAS 36, where applicable. Cost of acquisition includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with these costs will flow to the Company and they can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced items or parts is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are recorded on the statement of income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
2.10   Intangible assets
As per the Concession Agreement the Company is a service provider, constructing or improving the infrastructure used to provide a public service, as well as operating and maintaining this infrastructure during a certain period.

The Concession Agreement does not include any remuneration in financial assets. Therefore, the compensation is obtained through the infrastructure operation. The agreement also requires payment by the Company to the concession agency in financial assets in addition to the obligation to expand the existing infrastructure.
Construction carried out during the term of concession will be delivered to the government in exchange for intangible assets representing the right to charge users for the services provided, and the revenue will be subsequently generated by the services provided.
The amortization of the intangible asset, represented by the recognition of the right to operate the infrastructure and the expenses incurred to expand this structure, is recognized in the profit or loss for the year, in accordance with the economic benefit curve expected over the 308 month period counted from the beginning of the airport operation until the end of the concession period, and the estimated passenger curve was used as the foundation for amortization.
(a)   Right of concession (Grant)
The Company recognized an asset related to the concession of the rights to construct and operate the São Gonçalo do Amarante Airport as an intangible asset on the date of commencement of operations of the airport, and will be fully amortized up to the end of the concession period. The beginning of the airport operation was characterized by its transfer from Augusto Severo Airport to the Company. The transfer occurred in May 2014.
(b)   Concession infrastructure
The concession agreement is accounted for in accordance with the principles included in IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Arrangements”. The Company recognized an intangible asset for:
a)
Fixed fees payables as the result of the acquisition of the right (license) to charge users for the service of airport concession (see Note 15),
b)
Right to obtain benefits for services provided using the assets built under the construction services performed under the concession contracts.
Acquisitions correspond, according to the terms of the Concession contract, to the improvements over existing infrastructure to increase the useful life or its capacity, or the construction of new infrastructure.
The intangible asset for infrastructure under the concession agreement is amortized over the contract term in accordance with an appropriate method reflecting the rate of consumption of the concession asset’s economic benefits as from the date the infrastructure is brought into service.
Accounting of the fixed concession fee under the concession agreements are described in Note 2.12.
As part of the obligations arising from the concession agreements, the Company provides construction or upgrade services. IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Arrangements” requires to recognize revenues and costs from the construction or upgrade services provided. The fair value of the construction or upgrade service is equal to the construction or upgrade costs plus a reasonable margin, which the Group has estimated at an average of 2% to 3%.
(c)   Softwares
Computer software licenses purchased are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognized as an expense as incurred.

2.11   Suppliers
Suppliers are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due in one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
2.12   Commitments to the Grantor
The commitments paid to the grantor derived from the concession agreement is recognized on the terms defined in the concession agreement:
—Fixed concession fee is recognized at the beginning of the concession as it is reliably measurable, as a counterpart an intangible asset is recognized, this type of fee is independent form the revenue.
The government, through ANAC, has established in the Concession Contract that the Company must pay a fixed contribution during the whole concession period. The fixed contribution established in the concession agreement amounts to US$ 1,742, adjusted by the SELIC rate, from the 37 th month from the date of validity of the contract.
The fixed contribution is recorded under the name “Commitments to the government” in the current and non-current liabilities, considering the periods shorter and longer than one year and amortized by financial settlements.
2.13   Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs incurred and subsequently measured at amortized costs.
2.14   Other payables
Other payables are recognized at known or estimable amounts plus, when applicable, corresponding charges and monetary variations incurred up to the balance date.
2.15   Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities. Revenue is presented net of value-added tax.
The Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, when it is probable that future economic benefits will result from the transaction and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Company’s activities as described below. The Company bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement. Regarding construction revenue refer to note 2.10(b).
Revenue from airports operations includes:
—Tariff, which are those generally regulated under each airport’s concession agreement. It consists of passengers departure fees, landing, parking and other fees paid by the airlines.
—Non-tariff revenues: those are typically not regulated under the applicable concession agreement.
—Construction: IFRIC 12 requires to recognize revenues and costs from the construction or upgrade services provided. Construction revenue equals the construction or upgrade costs plus a reasonable margin.
Revenue is recognized when the amount of revenue may be reliably measured; it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company, and when collection is reasonably assured.
Revenue is shown net of value-added tax.

(a)   Tariff revenue
The Company obtains revenue by charging users of the airport infrastructure. Tariff prices are established by the concession agency through the Annex 4 of the Concession Agreement and are updated annually by the IPCA—Broad national consumer price index. Tariff revenue is affected by two factors: X and Q.
The X-factor was established to capture the variables associated with airport industry productivity and efficiency. It may generate a positive or negative effect on tariffs, and the start of its application occurs from the first tariff readjustment according to item 6.4 of Annex 19 to the Notice—Concession contract.
The Q-factor measures the quality of services provided through parameters established in the Airport Exploitation Plan (“PEA”) and may positively or negatively affect tariffs. The concessionaire will use the Q-factor to affect tariff adjustments from the end of the first year of full operation of the airport. Thereafter, if the concessionaire fails to meet the Q-factor standards the tariffs will be reduced by 30% (thirty percent) in the first year and 70% (seventy percent) in the second year. After the third year of failure there will be a full reduction (one hundred percent) of the tariff.
As established in the Concession Agreement, every five years there will be a review of the concession parameters aiming to preserve the economic-financial balance. This review covers the service quality indicators that are the basis for calculating the Q-factor, the methodology for calculating the X and Q factors and the discount rate to be used in the marginal cash flow.
Additionally, a rule to be applied to the tariff adjustments was established in the Concession Agreement’s Annex 11, which establishes the calculation for reversion of non-tariff revenue for tariff modality.
In 2015 there was a tariff variation of  -5,54%, according to ANAC decision no. 60, of May 28, 2015.
(b)   Non-tariff revenue
The Company also obtains revenue by operating other activities at the airport, such as the allocation of spaces granted to it, parking lots and telecommunications services to companies and institutions that are on the airport site. This revenue is not governed by any rule established by the concession agency and is freely negotiated between the companies concerned.
2.16   Costs
Concession fees and infrastructure amortization are recognized in the profit or loss for the year, in accordance with the economic benefit curve expected over the concession period counted from the beginning of the airport operation until the end of the concession period, and the estimated passenger curve was used as the foundation for amortization. Other costs are recognized on the accrual basis.
2.17   Expenses
Expenses are recognized on the accrual basis.
3   Critical accounting estimates and judgments
Critical accounting estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors including future event expectations, deemed reasonable in the circumstances.
Based on assumptions, the Company makes estimates concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Such estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities accounting values within the next financial year are addressed below:

(a)   Impairment
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that an asset is impaired. An asset is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset that can be reliably estimated.
The amount of any impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the statement of income. An impairment loss may be recognized, even for intangible assets subject to amortization. After the recognition of the impairment loss, the adjusted carrying amount of the intangible asset will be the new accounting basis for amortization.
(a)   Intangible assets amortization
The amortization of intangible assets is carried out over the concession term, and the calculation must represent the consumption standard for the future economic benefits, which occur due to the demand curve. In December 2015, the rate used was 4.01% (2014—1,23%) which represents the participation of the period in the total number of passengers expected for the entire concession.
(c)   Property, plant and equipment depreciation
The recoverability of the assets used in the Company’s activities is evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the accounting value of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable based on future cash flow. If the carrying amount of these assets exceeds their recoverable value, the net value will be adjusted and its useful life will be adjusted to new levels.
(d)   Deferred income tax and social contribution valuation
Significant judgment is required to determine the tax provision. The Company also recognizes provisions for situations in which it is likely that the additional amounts of taxes will be due. Whenever the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts initially assumed, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which the final figure is established.
(e)   Application of IFRIC 12
The Company has carried out a comprehensive implementation of the standards applicable to the accounting treatment of their concession and has determined that, among others IFRIC 12 is applicable to us. The Company treats its investments related to improvements and upgrades to be performed in connection with the concession obligation under the intangible asset model established by IFRIC 12, as all investments required by the concession obligation, regardless of their nature, directly increase the maximum tariff per traffic unit. Accordingly, all amounts invested under the concession obligation have a direct correlation to the amount of fees the Company will be able to charge each passenger or cargo service provider, and thus, a direct correlation to the amount of revenues the Company will be able to generate. As a result, the Company defines all expenditures associated with investments required by the concession obligation as revenue generating activities given that they ultimately provide future benefits, whereby subsequent improvements and upgrades made to the concession are recognized as intangible assets based on the principles of IFRIC 12. Additionally, compliance with the committed investments per the Master Development Programs is mandatory, as well as the fulfillment of the maximum tariff and therefore, in case of a failure to meet any one of these obligations, the Company could be subject to sanctions and the concessions could be revoked.

4   Financial risk management
4.1   Identification and valuation of financial instruments
The Company has operations involving financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, including financial investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable to suppliers.
The amounts recorded in current assets and liabilities have immediate liquidity or maturity, mostly in terms of less than three months. Considering the terms and characteristics of these instruments, which are systematically renegotiated, the book values approximate the fair values. The amounts accounted for are close to those realized.
4.2   Financial risk management policies
The Company has and follows a risk management policy, which provides guidance in relation to transactions and requires the diversification of transactions and corresponding entries. According to this policy, the nature and general position of the financial risks are regularly monitored and managed to evaluate the results and financial impact on the cash flow.
4.3   Capital management
The Company’s purposes when managing its capital are to safeguard the Company’s continuity capacity to offer any return to the shareholders and benefits to any other interested parties, in addition to maintaining an optimal capital structure to decrease such costs.
In order to maintain or adjust the Company’s capital structure, the management may, or may propose to, in the event that shareholder approval is required, review the dividend payment policy, return capital to the shareholders or even issue new shares or sell assets to decrease, for instance, the indebtedness level. So far, the Company has not made any dividend distribution.
4.4   Market risk
4.4.1   Interest rate risks
The associated risk arises from the possibility of the Company incurring losses due to fluctuations in the interest rates that increase the financial expenses related to the commitments currently assumed.
4.5   Credit risks
The Company’s policy considers the level of credit risk which it is willing to bear in the course of its business.
4.6   Liquidity risks
The cash flow forecast is performed by the Finance Department. This department monitors continuous estimates of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. It also maintains sufficient support from the shareholders, including a formal support letter for the next 12 months, to guarantee that the Company does not breach the limits or clauses of the loan (when applicable). This estimate takes into consideration the debt financing plans of the Company, compliance with clauses, compliance with internal goals related to the balance sheet ratio and, if applicable, external or legal regulatory requirements.

4.7   Fair value estimates
It is assumed that the balances of accounts receivable from customers and accounts payable to suppliers based on the book value, less losses (impairment) in the case of accounts receivable, are close to their fair values. The fair values of financial liabilities, for disclosure purposes, are estimated by discounting future contractual cash flow at the prevailing market interest rate available to the Company for similar financial instruments. Borrowings are specifically contracts with BNDES for the construction and are presented substantially at fair value.
4.8   Net working capital
In December 2015, the Company had negative net working capital of US$ 23,321, mainly due to the recognition of the loan debt to BNDES and other investments made, all of which are included in its business plan. In order to meet this obligation, capital contributions to be made by its shareholders are included in the Company’s Business Plan until the operation reaches its full capacity and the business reaches maturity as per the Company’s Business Plan. Additional capital contribution has been made by the shareholders in order for the Company to pay its obligation’s, refer to Note 26.

In December 2015, there were indications that resulted in impairment testing, and consequently a decrease in the recoverable value of the Company’s assets. The passenger curve of the concession notice has a significantly higher projection for the elapsed period, which indicates a reduction in the expectation of future economic benefits. Therefore, the Company restated the projection of a new flow of passengers and brought to present value the operating cash flow resulting from this new projection until the end of the concession. As a result, a difference between the two curves was found, which takes the value recorded in Intangible Assets higher than its recoverable value, and such difference is recognized as an impairment.
As a direct consequence of the impairment, the projections indicated that the realization of deferred taxes would not materialize, and for this reason we proceeded with the reduction of the total amount recorded in deferred IR/CS (Income Tax/Social Contribution).

The company will carry out the impairment testing of its assets in each accounting period, as well as in the event of any change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable value of the asset since the last impairment loss that was recognized, this amount should be reversed. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset should be increased to its recoverable amount. This increase will occur through the reversal of the impairment loss.
As the calculation of the impairment applied to the intangible assets has as one of its main variables the discount rate, the company carried out a sensitivity analysis showing the impact that it would have on the result if different rates were used. The result of this analysis is shown in the table below:

From December 31, 2015 up to September 22, 2017, shareholders have made capital contributions in the amount of US$ 35.393.
As per Note 18, the Company filed an ordinary action against the Brazilian ANAC requesting the economic re-equilibrium of the concession agreement and suspend the payment of the annual granting fees, which required the Company to make a court deposit in the amount of R$10.5 million (USD2,7 million) in January 2016.

The Company is waiting the judicial decision regarding the requirement

ARTICLE 6.          Shares

 

6.1 Form of the shares

 

The shares of the Company are in registered form ( actions nominatives ) only.

 

6.2 Share register and share certificates

 

A share register will be kept at the registered office, where it will be available for inspection by any shareholder. Such register shall set forth the name of each shareholder, its residence or elected domicile, the number of shares held by it, the nominal value or accounting par value paid in on each such share, the issuance of shares, the transfer of shares and the dates of such issuance and transfers. The ownership of the registered shares will be established by the entry in this register, or in the event separate registrars have been appointed pursuant to the below, in such separate register(s).

 

The Company may appoint registrars in different jurisdictions who will each maintain a separate register for the registered common shares entered therein and the holders of common shares may elect to be entered in one of the registers and to be transferred from time to time from one register to another. The Board may however impose transfer restrictions for common shares that are registered, listed, quoted, dealt in or have been places in certain jurisdictions in compliance with the requirements applicable therein.

 

6.3 Deposit

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Article 6, where common shares are recorded in the register of shareholders in the name of or on behalf of a securities settlement system or the operator of such system and recorded as book-entry interests in the accounts of a professional depositary or any sub-depositary (any depositary and any sub-depositary being referred to hereinafter as a Depositary ), the Company - subject to having received from the Depositary a certificate in proper form - will permit the Depository of such book-entry interests to exercise the rights attaching to the common shares corresponding to the book-entry interests of the relevant shareholder, including receiving notices of general meetings, admission to and voting at general meetings, and shall consider the Depository to be the holder of the shares corresponding to the book-entry interests for all purposes in these Articles. The Board may determine the formal requirements with which such certificates must comply.

 

 

 

 

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this ARTICLE 6, the Company will make any and all payments (including any dividend payments and any other distributions) in respect of shares recorded in the name of a Depositary, or deposited with any of them, as the case may be, whether in cash, shares or other assets, only to such Depositary, or otherwise in accordance with such Depositary's instructions, and that payment shall release the Company from any and all obligations for such payments.

 

6.4 Ownership and co-ownership of shares

 

The Company will recognise only one holder per share. In the event that a share is held by more than one person, the Company has the right to suspend the exercise of all rights attached to that share until one person has been appointed as sole holder in relation to the Company. The person appointed as the sole holder of the shares towards the Company in all matters by all the joint holders of those shares shall be named first in the register.

Such treasury shares may be distributed at any time to existing shareholders or third parties, subject to compliance with ARTICLE 7, by a decision of the Board.

 

ARTICLE 7.          Transfer of registered shares

 

A transfer of registered shares may be effected by a written declaration of transfer entered in the share register of the Company, such declaration of transfer to be executed by the transferor and the transferee or by persons holding suitable powers of attorney, and in accordance with the provisions applying to the transfer of claims provided for in article 1690 of the Luxembourg civil code.

 

 

 

 

The Company may also accept as evidence of transfer other instruments of transfer evidencing the consent of the transferor and the transferee satisfactory to the Company.

 

ARTICLE 8.          Debt Securities

 

Debt securities issued by the Company shall be in registered form only.

 

ARTICLE 9.          Powers of the General Meeting

 

As long as the Company has only one shareholder, the Sole Shareholder has the same powers as those conferred on the General Meeting.

Decisions made by the Sole Shareholder are documented in the form of minutes or written resolutions, as the case may be.

 

In the case of a plurality of shareholders, any regularly constituted General Meeting shall represent the entire body of shareholders of the Company.

ARTICLE 11.         Notice, quorum, convening notices, powers of attorney and vote

 

11.1 Right and obligation to convene a general meeting

 

The Board may convene a general meeting. They shall be obliged to convene it so that it is held within a period of one month, if shareholders representing one-tenth of the capital require this in writing, with an indication of the agenda. One or more shareholders representing at least one-tenth of the subscribed capital may request that the entry of one or more items be added to the agenda of any general meeting. This request must be addressed to the Company at least five (5) days before the relevant general meeting.

 

11.2 Procedure to convene a general meeting

 

Convening notices for every general meeting shall contain the agenda of the relevant general meeting.

If all the shareholders of the Company are present or represented at a general meeting, and consider themselves as being duly convened and informed of the agenda of the general meeting set by the Board, the general meeting may be held without prior notice. In addition, if all the shareholders of the Company are present or represented at a general meeting and unanimously agree to set the agenda of the general meeting, the general meeting may be held without having been convened by the Board.

11.3 Voting rights attached to the shares

Any shareholder may, partly or entirely, waive the exercise of its voting rights with respect to some or all of its shares. Such waiver will be binding on the relevant shareholder and will be enforceable towards the Company following its notification by the relevant shareholder in writing.

However, resolutions to amend the Articles or to change the nationality of the Company may only be passed in a general meeting where at least one half of the share capital is represented (the Presence Quorum ) and the agenda indicates the proposed amendments to the Articles and, as the case may be, the text of those which pertain to the purpose or the form of the Company. If the Presence Quorum is not reached, a second general meeting may be convened by an announcement filed with the Trade and Companies Register and published in the RESA ( Recueil électronique des sociétés et associations ) and in a Luxembourg newspaper at least fifteen (15) days before the relevant meeting. Such convening notice shall reproduce the agenda and indicate the date and the results of the previous general meeting. The second general meeting shall deliberate validly regardless of the proportion of the capital represented. At both meetings, resolutions, in order to be passed, must be carried by at least two-thirds of the votes expressed at the relevant general meeting.

 

In calculating the majority with respect to any resolution at a general meeting, the votes expressed shall not include the votes relating to shares in which the shareholder abstains from voting, casts a blank ( blanc ) or spoilt ( nul ) vote or does not participate.

 

The commitments of the shareholders may only be increased with the unanimous vote of all the shareholders.

 

A mere dilution shall not be considered a triggering event for the special majority rules provided for in article 68 of the Companies Act.

 

11.5 Participation by proxy

In order to be taken into account, a copy of voting bulletins must be received by the Company at least [five] ([5]) days before the relevant general meeting.

Participation in a meeting by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

 

11.8 Bureau

 

The shareholders shall elect a chairman of the general meeting. The chairman shall appoint a secretary and the shareholders shall appoint a scrutineer. The chairman, the secretary and the scrutineer together form the bureau of the general meeting.

 

11.9 Minutes and certified copies

 

The minutes of the general meeting will be signed by the members of the bureau of the general meeting and by any shareholder who wishes to do so.

The director(s) shall be elected by the General Meeting. The General Meeting shall also determine the number of directors, their remuneration and their term of office.

 

A director may be removed with or without cause and/or replaced, at any time, by a resolution adopted by the General Meeting.

 

In the event of vacancy in the office of one or more directors because of death, resignation or otherwise, the remaining directors may elect at a meeting of the Board the director(s), by a majority vote, to fill such vacancy or vacancies, as the case may be, until the following general meeting.

 

 

 

 

ARTICLE 13.         Meetings of the Board

 

13.1 Chairman

 

The Board may appoint a chairman (the Chairman ) from among its members and may choose a secretary, who need not be a director, and who shall be responsible for keeping the minutes of the meetings of the Board. The Chairman will chair all meetings of the Board. In his/her absence, the other members of the Board will appoint another chairman pro tempore who will chair the relevant meeting by simple majority vote of the directors present or represented at such meeting.

 

13.2 Procedure to convene a board meeting

 

The Board shall meet upon call by the Chairman or any two directors at the place indicated in the meeting notice.

 

Written meeting notice of the Board shall be given to all the directors at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance of the day and the hour set for such meeting, except in circumstances of emergency, in which case the nature of such circumstances shall be set forth briefly in the convening notice of the meeting of the Board.

 

No such written meeting notice is required if all the members of the Board are present or represented during the meeting and if they state they have been duly informed and have had full knowledge of the agenda of the meeting. In addition, if all the members of the Board are present or represented during the meeting and they agree unanimously to set the agenda of the meeting, the meeting may be held without having been convened in the manner set out above.

 

A member of the Board may waive the written meeting notice by giving his/her consent in writing. Copies of consents in writing that are transmitted by telefax or e-mail may be accepted as evidence of such consents in writing at a meeting of the Board. Separate written notice shall not be required for meetings that are held at times and at places determined in a schedule previously adopted by a resolution of the Board.

 

13.3 Participation by proxy

 

Any member of the Board may act at any meeting of the Board by appointing in writing another director as his or her proxy. Copies of written proxies that are transmitted by telefax or by e-mail may be accepted as evidence of such written proxies at a meeting of the Board.

In giving this legal opinion, we have assumed, and we have not verified independently that all factual matters and statements relied upon or assumed herein were, are and will be (as the case may be) true, complete, up-to-date and accurate.

 

Based upon, and subject to, the assumptions made above and subject to any matters not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that, under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in effect, as construed and applied by the Luxembourg courts in published Luxembourg court decisions, on the date hereof:

 

1. Status

 

The Company is a public limited liability company ( société anonyme ) formed for an unlimited duration under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

 

2. Existing Shares

 

The Existing Shares being offered by the Existing Shareholder, have been validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (as this term is used under New York law).

Luxembourg legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in their original French or German terms. The concepts concerned may not be identical to the concepts described by the same English terms as they exist under the laws of other jurisdictions. It should be noted that there are always irreconcilable differences between languages making it impossible to guarantee a totally accurate translation or interpretation. In particular, there are always some legal concepts which exist in one jurisdiction and not in another, and in those cases it is bound to be difficult to provide a completely satisfactory translation or interpretation because the vocabulary is missing from the language. We accept no responsibility for omissions or inaccuracies to the extent that they are attributable to such factors.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to use of our name under the heading and “Taxation” and “Legal Matters” as regards the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in the prospectus contained therein. In giving such consent we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

4. PURPOSE

 

4.1 Exclusivity and Responsibility

 

As a consequence of the award made in the present National and International Public Bidding Competition, the Concession Grantor grants and the Concession Holder accepts the present concession for the operation, management and functioning of Airport Group A, on an exclusive basis, in accordance with the terms of the present Concession Contract and the provisions of section 3.5 of the Bidding Conditions and the regulations interpreting and supplementing the same.

 

To this end, the Concession Grantor, prior to the calling of the bidding competition, issued instructions to the pertinent dependencies of the national government to the effect that no new concessions were to be granted and/or existing concessions extended at the airports included in Airport Group A. Where necessary in order to ensure the continuity of services, the authorities were to resort to the mechanism of temporary permits for the providing of such services, Consequently, the granting of such temporary permits does not involve conferring any right upon the recipients of the same. The Concession Grantor guarantees the Concession Holder that the aforementioned permits shall not serve to enable the holders to contest the rights of the Concession Holder, the latter likewise being guaranteed the full use and enjoyment of the Concession on terms similar to those which would have existed if such permits had not been granted.

 

The Concession Grantor shall not authorize any alteration of airport infrastructure in the areas of influence of the National Airport System member airports in accordance with article 12 and article 17, section 34 of Executive Order No. 375/97, except pursuant to the terms of the Contract.

 

The concession is granted on a basis of Exclusivity, and the Concession Grantor shall under no circumstances have the right to lay aside this exclusivity clause and thereby affect the economic and financial equation of the Contract.

 

Under no circumstances shall the Concession Grantor be held responsible for the operation, management and functioning as to which a concession is granted under the present contract, or for maintenance and expansion of Airport Group A.

 

4.2 Scope

 

The Concession granted means that the Concession Holder shall assume exclusively the obligation of meeting any increase in demand within Airport Group A, subject to the quality specifications of ICAO/IATA, as specified under Exhibit 4 accompanying the present Contract, as well the obligation of making the investments provided for under Exhibit 3 accompanying the present Contract.

 

Any airport infrastructure work not duly approved by ORSNA shall be required to be demolished, in such manner as to leave the airport surface clean and vacant, unless an agreement is reached with the Concession Grantor whereby the latter accepts the same, with no right on the Concession Holder’s part to any charge or compensation.

 

  6  

 

  

For all work, including demolition, authorization must be requested from ORSNA and the work must proceed in accordance with such instructions as the latter may issue, within the scope of the Concession Holder’s obligations deriving from the present Contract. Such demolition may come about on the initiative of the Concession Holder, the Argentine Air Force or ORSNA, but in all cases approval must be obtained in advance from ORSNA in order to carry out the work.

 

The Concession granted is at the Concession Holder’s sole risk. Likewise, the Concession Grantor assumes no responsibility of any kind for the Investment Plan for which the Concession Holder is responsible.

 

4.3 Additions and Decommissioning

 

Subject to the Concession Holder’s approval, ORSNA shall have the right to withdraw from Airport Group A any airports that may have fallen into disuse as a result of changes in market conditions. In due time, ORSNA shall establish methods of analysis such as to permit defining under what circumstances an airport shall be deemed to have fallen into disuse.

 

In such cases, ORSNA shall take into account the impact of airport service on the region concerned.

 

Likewise, Airport Group A shall include any airports that may come to be incorporated into the same by decision of ORSNA, subject to the Concession Holder’s approval.

 

4.4 Replacement of an Airport

 

During the Concession Period, the Concession Holder shall be permitted to propose for approval by ORSNA the replacement of one or more airports by constructing new airports. In such cases, the airports to be replaced must be returned and turned over to the Concession Grantor simultaneously with the placing in service of the new airport(s). The Concession Holder shall be required to demonstrate to ORSNA the resulting benefit to Users, in terms of price and quality of service.

 

In all cases in which airports are replaced, authorization must be obtained in advance from ORSNA or the authority having competent jurisdiction under applicable legislation. The basic criteria that will be taken into account by ORSNA for purpose of such authorizations are as appears from the Bidding Conditions, without prejudice to attention to such national airport policy considerations as may be established by the national government, as well as the rights acquired by the Concession Holder by virtue of the Concession Contract and applicable provisions of law. ORSNA may consider alternative solutions proposed by the Concession Holder, or proposed by ORSNA with the Concession Holder’s approval; in all cases, however, final approval shall require an express decision on the part of the latter body.

 

  7  

 

  

Likewise, in all cases involving replacement of airports, it shall be the responsibility of the Concession Holder to arrange for all approvals and/or authorizations relating to locations and sites for the new airports, by ORSNA and the appropriate authorities. Any delay in obtaining the pertinent authorizations shall not be regarded as constituting grounds for postponements in the construction schedule for the new airports, unless the Concession Holder demonstrates to the satisfaction of ORSNA that the cause of such delay is not imputable either to the Concession Holder itself or to any interposed third party for which the Concession Holder is responsible.

 

Infrastructure and equipment quality standards must tend to improve upon those currently offered by the airports to be replaced, and in no case shall be inferior thereto.

 

5. CONCESSION PERIOD

 

5.1 Initial Period

 

The Concession Grantor grants the concession for the operation, management and functioning of Airport Group A for a term of 30 years, running from the Effective Date.

(b) The National Executive Branch must grant the extension requested, pursuant to a recommendation from ORSNA, indicating the term for which the same is granted.

 

5.3 Extension

 

Without prejudice to the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs, ORSNA shall have the power to require the Concession Holder to continue the Concession Contract for a term not to exceed 12 months, counting from the expiration of the Concession Period. In order to do so, ORSNA shall be required to give valid notice of such demand to the Concession Holder at least six months in advance of expiration of the Concession Period.

 

If the Concession is extended, the Concession Grantor shall consider the effect of such extension on the economic and financial equation of the Concession, taking into account for this purpose the fact that the recovery of investments should have taken place during the original term of the Concession.

The Concession Holder shall have the right to assign, for consideration or otherwise, the use of part of the real property made available for the Concession Holder’s use under the present Contract. In this regard, the Concession Holder shall have the right to enter into rental, commodatum [gratuitous bailment] or other similar contracts concerning the real property received. All assignments made by the Concession Holder must be reported in advance by the latter to ORSNA, which shall have the power to contest the same when the consideration for the assignment is lacking or unrealistically low, and the assignment is not warranted from the standpoint of the management, operation or functioning of the airports.

The Concession Holder shall be required to use the real property mainly for providing airport service on the terms authorized by ORSNA as to the activities involved. Use of the property must be such as fully to meet airport service needs.

As to real property received from the Concession Grantor by commodatum, the Concession Holder must pay all taxes, official charges and utility service charges payable by the Concession Holder in its capacity as such, and accruing after the Taking of Possession, without prejudice to its fulfillment of all of the other obligations inherent in commodatum.

 

The obligation mentioned in the preceding paragraph does not include real property tax, payment of any such tax due being the responsibility of the property owner.

 

6.3.4 Destruction of Property

 

In the event that for any reason, any property is destroyed in whole or in part, regardless of whether such destruction is caused by the Concession Holder itself, its employees or contractors, or third parties, the resulting damages shall be borne and repaired entirely by the Concession Holder, with the exception of those cases in which the latter can validly assert the defense of an act of God or force majeure, and in no case shall the latter have the right to demand of the Concession Grantor or ORSNA that the same be replaced or repaired, or to assert against either a claim for indemnity or compensation of any kind for the damages caused. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Concession Holder shall be required to take out insurance covering risks to the extent established in the aforementioned [sic] point 17.

Inasmuch as the Awardee formulated its bid based on its own evaluation and research, likewise receiving the property “as is,” all of the foregoing with no right to any claim of any kind, any assertion on its part of a warranty against hidden defects shall be under stood to be precluded.

 

6.3.5 Legal Impossibility of Continuing Use of Property

When loss of the use of property substantially affects the economic and financial equation of the Concession, the Concession Grantor shall be required to replace the property concerned with other similar property, or, alternatively, to adjust the economic and financial equation of the Contract to allow for the new circumstances, to the extent of the proven effect of the same.

 

The circumstances giving rise to the legal impossibility of continued use of the property by the Concession Holder must be beyond the Concession Grantor’s control, or must be the result of acts grounded on considerations of public interest or force majeure.

 

If assets appointed to airport activity under the terms indicated in the Contract are determined during the Taking of Possession to be missing or destroyed, and such assets are not essential, their absence or destruction shall not operate to bar the obligation to take possession or to give rise to a claim of any kind. Assets are to be regarded as nonessential if the absence or insufficiency thereof does not impede the continued operation of the airport on the same terms as up to the moment of the Taking of Possession of the same, or, in the case of those whose absence or insufficiency does represent an impediment, if the providing, creation or improvement of the same is the responsibility of the Concession Holder.

 

  11  

 

  

All property found within Airport Group A at the time of termination of the Concession Contract, whatever the reason for its presence, shall be presumed as of that time (except if proven otherwise by the Concession Holder) to be the property of the Concession Grantor, and shall be required to be transferred to the latter without charge, in accordance with the terms indicated under the Concession Contract.

 

While the Concession Holder cannot transfer a better right than it received from the Concession Grantor, the Concession Holder shall be responsible for taking precautions to see that the provisions of the present subsection are respected and enforced under any contracts it may enter into with third parties.

10. INVESTMENT PLAN

 

10.1 Fulfillment

 

It is the exclusive responsibility of the Concession Holder to make the investments offered in the pertinent National and International Bidding Competition, on the schedule likewise offered, as appended to the present Contract as Exhibit 3.

 

The investments to be made must in all cases be designed to cover increased demand and associated needs within Airport Group A, as well as to meet the minimum standards specified by ICAO and IATA.

 

The investment commitments for each airport, as included in the Investment Plan, may be modified, provided:

 

1. The modifications are included in the duly approved Master Plan.

 

2. The total amount for each year does not change.

 

3. The commitments assumed by the national government under the agreements signed with provincial and/or municipal governments for the assignment of the use of the airports included in the Concession are not affected.

 

Likewise, the Investment Plan must provide for replacement of the Jorge Newbery airport in the city of Buenos Aires prior to year 7 of the Concession, by means of either a new or an existing airport capable of meeting the airport demand needs of the city of Buenos Aires over the term of the Concession, whether by absorbing such demand at an existing airport or proposing a new one. In the latter case, only investments of a strictly airport- related nature shall be taken into consideration, and not those of a supplementary nature, which must be proposed at the time of evaluation of the preliminary project design for the site concerned.

 

The Concession Holder shall not be obligated to fulfill the Investment in Increased Capacity requirements at the airport to be replaced, provided the dates scheduled for construction of the new airport are respected. In such event, it shall be under stood that the Investment in Increased Capacity so omitted shall become part of the investment to be made in the new airport. Meanwhile, the replacement of the Jorge Newbery airport must cover and adequately meet the demands of present and anticipated future airport service to and from that airport.

 

This situation shall be governed by all of the provisions of section 3.17 of the Bidding Conditions, and by the provisions of section 4.4 of the present Contract.

 

With the express approval of ORSNA, the Concession Holder may postpone part of the investments scheduled for a given year, but in such case it shall be required to make a bank deposit in the amount originally committed to the investment so postponed, in accordance with such instructions as may be imparted to the Concession Holder by ORSNA to this end. Interest earned on such deposit shall be regarded as an increase in the royalty and credited accordingly to the Concession Grantor. The provisions of the present paragraph shall not be deemed to constitute a change in the provisions relating to the performance guarantee covering the commitments assumed under the Investment Plan, but the fines prescribed for delays in the schedule contemplated under the Investment Plan shall not apply as to those investments whose postponement has been authorized, for the duration of such postponement.

 

  14  

 

 

In order to evaluate the Concession Holder’s fulfillment of investment commitments during the first three one-year periods, and taking into consideration the fact that the Concession Holder has up to 360 days to complete the Taking of Possession of all of the Group A airports, the Concession Holder shall be deemed to be fulfilling investment requirements provided it has invested, as of the end of such three periods running from the Effective Date of the Concession Contract all of the sums contemplated for the three periods, in the manner explained in the preceding paragraph.

 

Investments scheduled for 1997 are to be regarded as pertaining to the first period beginning with the Effective Date of the Concession Contract, Investments scheduled for 1998 shall pertain to the second period, and so on. To this end, each period shall be regarded as consisting of one calendar year. The Tucumán and Viedma airports shall not become part of Airport Group A until the end of the first period; for this reason, the investment calendar for these airports shall begin to run with the second one-year period of the Concession.

Between years 5 and 10 of the Concession, the investment percentage to be guaranteed may be reduced by half, subject to approval in advance from ORSNA. Thereafter, ORSNA shall set the percentage to be guaranteed. In all cases, ORSNA shall base its decision on the degree of fulfillment of the Concession Holder’s obligations.

 

Any renewal of this guarantee must include both the amount of the investments remaining to be made for the then current one-year period, and the amount of the investments scheduled for the next 30 months covered by such [renewal of the] guarantee.

 

11. MASTER PLAN

 

The Concession Holder shall be required to prepare a Master Plan for each of the airports included in Airport Group A, in accordance with ICAO/IATA specifications.

 

  15

The Master Plan shall in no case be permitted to reduce the total investment amount to which the Concession Holder is committed under its Investment Plan.

 

Once approved by ORSNA, the Master Plan for each airport may be amended only with approval in advance from ORSNA.

 

Master Plans shall be submitted for the term of the Concession Contract, and shall be adjusted by the Concession Holder when the following contingencies arise:

 

- At airports with traffic exceeding 500,000 passengers per year, the Master Plan shall be updated at ten-year intervals, unless the airports concerned experience a difference on the order of 20% between actual passenger volume and that originally projected under the pertinent Master Plan.

During the term of the concession, the applicable Rate Mechanism shall be that appearing in Exhibit 1 accompanying the Concession Contract, or any other coming in the future to be approved by ORSNA.

 

The Concession Holder shall have the right to propose to ORSNA, at such intervals and in such manners as the latter may establish, the setting of rates for arrangements not originally contemplated, when implementation of the same represents technical and financial improvements in the providing of service for Users and/or Air Carriers and/or the Concession Holder. These proposals may be submitted once five years have elapsed following the Effective Date Likewise, ORSNA shall ordain such measures as circumstances warrant.

17. ROYALTY

 

The Concession Holder shall be required to pay the Concession Grantor, by way of an annual royalty, the amount resulting from combining the basic royalty, adjustments, updates and arrangements hereinafter provided for.

 

  25  

 

 

17.1 Amount

 

(a) The annual royalty amount offered by the Awardee in its final financial bid, hereinafter the “basic royalty,” namely $171,121,000, payable by the Concession Holder one-half at the end of each six-month period, in U.S. dollars.

 

(b) To this end, the payment dates are hereby established as being no later than 30 days after the end of each calendar half-year; that is, June 30 and December 31 of each year.

 

(c) In order to determine the amount payable by way of basic royalty at the end of the first half-year of the Concession, as well as for purposes of the updating provided for, the reference date shall be deemed to be the date of the taking of possession of all Group A airports, or the date on which a period of 180 days elapses following the Taking of Possession, whichever is earlier.

 

(d) In the event that the end of the first calendar half-year following the reference date does not coincide with the elapsing of a full six months [of the Concession], the amount payable by way of basic royalty on such date as provided for under (b) above shall be prorated for the time elapsed since the reference date. The same principle shall apply, where appropriate, to the determination of the amount of the last basic royalty payment at the end of the Concession, counting the time elapsed from the closing date of the six-month period immediately preceding.

 

(e) The criterion applied for purposes of updating the basic royalty shall be the change in the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods, Seasonally Adjusted – Total (PPI), published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, between the month of December of the year in which the reference date referred to under (c) above falls (the same being regarded as the “PPI base year “), and December of the year for which the update adjustment is to be calculated. Such update adjustment shall be applicable beginning with the year following that taken as the base year, until the end of the Concession.

 

(f) Beginning with the sixth calendar year, counting from the reference date, changes in air traffic at Airport Group A, measured in Total Transportation Units (UTG), shall be incorporated into the update adjustment provided for under the preceding subsection. For purposes of this provision, the fifth calendar year shall be regarded as the “UTG base year.”

 

(g) The following algebraic expressions shall be used to determine the update adjustments provided for under (e) and (f) above:

 

Through the fifth calendar year:

 

I i = ((P i / P 0 ) – 1) x 100

 

  26  

 

  

Beginning with the sixth calendar year:

 

I i = (((P i’ / P 0 ) x (T i’ / T 0 )) – 1) x 100

 

Where:

 

I i = Update adjustment percentage for year i, where i = year 2, 3, 4 or 5.
     
I i’ = Update adjustment percentage for year i’, where i’ = year 6, 7, . . 30).
     
P n = PPI for December of the year subject to update adjustment.
     
P 0 = PPI for December of the “PPI base year.”
     
T i = Total Traffic Units (UTG) for the year subject to update adjustment.
     
T 0 = Total Traffic Units (UTG) for “UTG base year.”

 

(h) The amount resulting from the above update adjustment calculations shall be paid in a single yearly payment to be made within 90 days of the end of the calendar year subject to update adjustment.

 

17.2 Environmental Expenses

 

If the Concession Holder incurs expenses as a consequence of correction of the effects of environmental situations already in existence as of the time of the Taking of Possession or any reconstruction deriving therefrom, any such expenses approved or authorized by ORSNA shall be deducted from the next royalty payment.

 

17.3 Default on Payment of Royalty

 

Default on payment of the royalty shall occur automatically simply upon expiration of the prescribed time limit, without need for judicial or extrajudicial demands for payment. The amount in default shall bear punitive interest at a rate equivalent to 1.5 times the discount rate for commercial transactions applied by the Argentine Central Bank as of each day of default.

 

18. INSURANCE

 

At the time of the signing of the present Concession Contract, the Concession Holder shall be required to take out at its own expense, effective as of the Taking of Possession of the first airport and throughout the entire Concession Period, a civil liability policy in the joint names of the Concession Holder and the Concession Grantor, covering any damages, loss or injury that may occur to persons or property as a result of the performance of work or operation of the airports included in the present Contract, in such manner as to hold harmless both the Concession Holder and the Concession Grantor until the termination of the Concession Contract. The minimum amount of insurance covering the aforementioned shall be US$100 million. This amount shall be updated annually by ORSNA.

 

  27  

 

  

The Concession Holder shall be required to have coverage including partial and total risks on the property granted by concession. The Concession Holder shall likewise be required to possess insurance covering any damages that may be caused by acts of God or force majeure with regard to the investment in work included in the Concession.

All of the insurance provided for under the present article, and all renewals of the same, must be obtained from insurance companies of recognized standing, to the satisfaction of ORSNA.

 

The insurance policies and renewals thereof shall expressly provide for the obligation on the part of the insurer to notify the Concession Grantor of any failure by the Concession Holder to make payment. The insurance policy must remain in effect for at least 15 days following the date of such notice, in order to allow time to remedy the nonpayment.

 

Any failure on the part of the Concession Holder to fulfill the obligations for which it is responsible with regard to the taking out of insurance shall empower the Concession Grantor to take out and keep in effect the pertinent insurance, at the expense of the former. In this regard, the Concession Grantor shall have the right to pay the applicable premiums, which shall be refunded by the Concession Holder within five days, on pain of foreclosure of the guarantee provided for under article 21 of the present Contract Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Concession Holder shall in no case be released from contractual liability in the event of a casualty loss.

No change or modification of the tax burden warranting the passing on of the impact in the manner provided for above shall be deemed to have occurred when the changes made relate to the profits tax or any tax coming in the future to replace or supplant the same.

 

The Concession Holder shall not be obligated to question the validity, legality, constitutionality or applicability of any tax provisions the competent authorities may seek to impose on the Concession Holder following the Taking of Possession, in order to be entitled to pass on the tax burden as provided for under the preceding subsection. Once the provisions making the change in the total tax burden have been enacted, the Concession Holder shall have the right to apply to ORSNA for the passing on of the same whenever regulated rates become affected, and ORSNA shall be required to grant the relief so applied for, once the impact of the Change on the Concession Holder’s economic and financial equation has been verified.

 

The Concession Holder’s obligation to pay the taxes and service and other charges for which it is liable shall in no case include an obligation to pay those which were outstanding or which accrued prior to the Taking of Possession, nor to pay real estate taxes, which – if any are payable – are the responsibility of the owner of the real property.

EXHIBIT 1 – RATE MECHANISM

 

The National Airport System Regulatory Body (ORSNA), in order to regulate National Airport System (SNA) aviation charges, shall apply the mechanism described in detail as follows:

 

The adjustment of rates shall be based on the formula PPI- X , where:

 

- PPI means the Producer Price Index published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor.

 

- X represents an adjustment factor which is set by ORSNA in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the present Exhibit.

 

Without prejudice to the figures established for the Initial Rate Schedule, the applicable aviation charges shall be reviewed by ORSNA every three to five years, as the latter may deem appropriate. At the time of each rate review, ORSNA shall set the value for the adjustment factor X, which may have point values for each year or for a given period of time.

 

A. Adjustment Factor X

 

In calculating adjustment factor X, ORSNA shall take into account five basic variables, as follows:

 

1. Increase in Traffic

 

Must be in such form as to be able to be converted into a projection of aviation revenues. This means that traffic projections must be expressed in terms of domestic and international passengers and aircraft movements, and the latter must likewise be broken down by aircraft type and maximum take-off weight, a fundamental factor in determining several aviation charges.

 

2. Improvements in Efficiency

 

In response to the advantages resulting from the developing of economies of scale, ORSNA shall estimate the extent of airport management cost savings benefits, or, alternatively, set reasonable cost reduction goals for each successive period of three to five years.

 

3. Level of Services

 

ORSNA shall have the right to impose certain service quality levels for different groups of airports, depending on their size (passenger and air craft traffic volume), characteristics (size of terminal, runways and operations area). The fundamental objective is to ensure that the airport operator does not generate profits by reducing the quality of service.

 

  40  

 

  

Levels of service are to be determined by ORSNA based on studies carried out by the latter or subcontracted to specialist consultants, who shall prepare a thorough analysis of the needs of users (airlines and passengers). The methods to be used include the Service Quality Index, which is calibrated by means of a questionnaire circulated to users.

 

4. Projected Investment Levels

 

Once the Project Master Plans have been approved by ORSNA, the total investment value for the next five-year period shall be determined.

 

5. Projected Rate of Return

 

The objective rate of return considered acceptable by ORSNA, as well as by the operator(s) of the airport(s). This rate must be in proportion to the rates of return achieved in other generally similar service industries in Argentina. It must also include a risk premium in view of the uncertainty associated with managing a large number of small, relatively unprofitable airports.

 

The rate of return to be used is the return on principal. This is adjusted operating income (operating revenues less costs less amortization) expressed as a percentage of principal.

 

The diagram below shows the relationship among the various variables and the information necessary for determining the adjustment coefficient X.

 

 

  41  

 

  

B. Value of Concession Holder’s Assets or Investment

 

The figure used as the value of the Concession Holder’s assets shall be that actually paid by the Concession Holder. This represents the investment that will be used by the new owner or concession holder of the airport to determine the concession holder’s future return value.

 

By way of updating the future value of the assets, the value of the same is adjusted every three to five years, in order to reflect new investments and inflation. The net investment consists of investment disbursements less the proceeds from sales of assets, if any The CPI for the construction industry [is used] to increase the value of the assets.

 

C. Determination of Prices of Network or Multiple Services

 

Airports and airfields are divided into five different categories for rate setting purposes. The rate structure is applicable to all categories, but the level of the charges may vary for any or all of the categories. ORSNA, taking into consideration cost structures, levels and composition of traffic for each of the airport groups, is to set rate levels for each specific category.

 

The airports are listed below by category.

Decree 1799/2007

 

The contract renegotiation Memorandum of Agreement signed between the Public Service Contract Analysis and Renegotiation Unit and Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 S.A. is hereby ratified.

 

Bs. As., December 4 th , 2007

 

File N° S01:0052536/2004 of the Registry of the MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION, its non consolidated additional case file N° S01:0314363/2006 of the same Registry, and Laws N° 25,561, 25,790, 25,820, 25,972, 26,077 and 26,204, Decree N° 311 dated on July 3, 2003, Joint Resolution N° 188 of the MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION and N° 44 of the MINISTRY OF FEDERAL PLANNING, PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES dated on August 6 th , 2003, Joint Resolution N°728 of the MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION and N° 1584 of the MINISTRY OF FEDERAL PLANNING, PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES dated on September 12 th , 2006, Resolutions of the HONORABLE SENATE OF THE NATION (CD-2/07) and the HONORABLE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES OF THE NATION (OD 1996), both dated on February 13 th , 2007, having been reviewed, AND

 

WHEREAS:

 

Law N° 25,561 declared public emergency in social, economic, administrative, financial and exchange matters, delegating to the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER the powers to enact measures aimed at solving the critical situation.

 

That the aforementioned rule provided for the end of the convertibility regime that established a fixed Peso-US Dollar parity, and authorized the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER to renegotiate the concessionned public works and services contracts, which were in a critical situation due to the end of said convertibility regime, making those contracts that used said regime as an adjustment mechanism, which was thus left without effect, lose their reference point.

 

That said law established certain criteria to be followed within the frame of the renegotiation process, such as the tariff impact on the economy competitiveness and on the income distribution; the service quality and investment plans, when they are contemplated in contracts; the users’ interest and the service availability; security of the systems involved; and company profitability.

 

     

 

 

That the provisions in Law N° 25,561 have been later ratified and extended through the passing of Laws N° 25,790, 25,820, 25,972, 26,077 and 26,204, as well as through different regulatory and complementary rules.

 

That, in order to comply with the precepts of the HONORABLE CONGRESS OF THE NATION, the contract renegotiation process has been developed up to the present with Licensee Companies of public works and services.

 

That, in the course of said process, carried out pursuant to the criteria established in Section 9 of Law 25,561, the NATIONAL STATE shall make sure that the public service availability, safety and quality conditions are kept.

 

That the aforementioned process involves the company AEROPUERTOS ARGENTINA 2000 SOCIEDAD ANONIMA, a concessionaire of the EXPLOITATION, ADMINISTRATION AND OPERATION OF GROUP “A” OF AIRPORTS, pursuant to the concession that was granted by means of Decree N 163, dated on February 11 th , 1998.

 

That the contract renegotiation is regulated by Decree N° 311, dated on July 3 rd , 2003 and Joint Resolution N° 188 of the MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION and N° 44 of the MINISTRY OF FEDERAL PLANNING, PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES dated on August 6 th , 2003.

 

That, in order to carry out the renegotiation with the Service Provider Companies, Decree N° 311/03 provided for the creation of the PUBLIC SERVICE CONTRACT ANALYSIS AND RENEGOTIATION UNIT (“UNIREN”) within the scope of the MINISTRIES OF ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION AND OF FEDERAL PLANNING, PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES.

 

That the abovementioned Unit has been assigned the missions, among others, to carry out the renegotiation process of the Public Services and Works Contracts, to sign full or partial agreements with licensee companies of public services “ad referendum” of the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER, to bring forward ruling projects related to possible temporary price or tariff adjustments and/or segmentations thereof, and to contractual clauses related to public services, as well as the mission to make any recommendation concerning public services and works contracts and the operation of such services.

 

That, in relation to the concession granted to the Company AEROPUERTOS ARGENTINA 2000 SOCIEDAD ANONIMA, the PUBLIC SERVICE CONTRACT ANALYSIS AND RENEGOTIATION UNIT has analyzed the contractual situation and taken the necessary steps to achieve a contractual renegotiation understanding.

 

     

 

 

That, within the frame of the aforementioned renegotiation process, a Letter of Understanding was signed on July 20 th , 2005 between said Unit and the Company AEROPUERTOS ARGENTINA 2000 SOCIEDAD ANONIMA, which established the GUIDELINESS for the renegotiation of the CONCESSION CONTRACT for the EXPLOITATION, ADMINISTRATION AND OPERATION OF GROUP “A” OF THE NATIONAL SYSTEM OF AIRPORTS, based on the guidelines set by the TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT of the MINISTRY OF FEDERAL PLANNING, PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES, as a member of the SECTORIAL COMMITTEE of the PUBLIC SERVICE CONTRACT ANALYSIS AND RENEGOTIATION UNIT.

 

That, by virtue of the established guidelines and as a result of the negotiations that were carried out, said Unit and the Company AEROPUERTOS ARGENTINA 2000 SOCIEDAD ANONIMA signed a LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING on June 16 th , 2006 -which was replaced by a new LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING signed on August 23 rd , 2006 - that included the points of agreement on the contract adjustment.

 

That this last instrument established the terms and conditions of the contract renegotiation agreement to be entered into by the LICENSOR and the Company AEROPUERTOS ARGENTINA 2000 SOCIEDAD ANONIMA.

 

That the LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING was submitted to a PUBLIC HEARING process called by Joint Resolution N° 728 of the MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION and N° 1584 of the MINISTRY OF FEDERAL PLANNING, PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES dated on September 12 th , 2006.

 

That the PUBLIC HEARING permitted users and consumers, as well as different social sectors and players, to participate and express their opinion; and these elements of judgment were added by the PUBLIC SERVICE CONTRACT ANALYSIS AND RENEGOTIATION UNIT to the renegotiation analysis.

 

That as a result, said Unit deemed convenient to modify aspects of the understanding that had been achieved before, as was stated in the PUBLIC HEARING Assessment Report attached with the proceedings and published in the Internet page of the abovementioned Unit.

 

     

 

 

That the PUBLIC SERVICE CONTRACT ANALYSIS AND RENEGOTIATION UNIT and the Company AEROPUERTOS ARGENTINA 2000 SOCIEDAD ANONIMA found points of coincidence as regards the proposed modifications after the PUBLIC HEARING had been held.

 

That said agreement was reflected on a MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT proposal which, pursuant to the provisions of Decree N° 311/03, was signed by the Authorities of the abovementioned Unit and the representatives of the Company AEROPUERTOS ARGENTINA 2000 SOCIEDAD ANONIMA, after complying with the usual procedures and “ad referendum” of the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER.

 

That said MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT includes the complete renegotiation of the CONCESSION CONTRACT for the EXPLOITATION, ADMINISTRATION AND OPERATION OF GROUP “A” OF THE NATIONAL SYSTEM OF AIRPORTS, aimed at preserving the continuity and quality of the service rendered.

 

That the NATIONAL TREASURY has issued its ruling, pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 of Decree N° 311/03, which included remarks aimed at achieving a better effectiveness of the MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT, and did not contain any objection to the terms and conditions thereof.

 

That the ARGENTINE GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE, decentralized entity within the scope of the PRESIDENCY OF THE NATION, has taken proper action in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 of Joint Resolution N° 188/03 of the MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION and N° 44/03 of the MINISTRY OF FEDERAL PLANNING, PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES, and stated that no objections were raised as regards the procedure that had been carried out.

 

That, in compliance with the applicable regulations, the intervention of the HONORABLE CONGRESS OF THE NATION was requested in order to consider the MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT.

Due to the severe crisis that affected the country at the end of 2001, the NATIONAL CONGRESS issued Law N° 25,561, which declared public emergency in social, economic, administrative, financial and exchange matters until December 10, 2003, delegating on the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER the necessary powers to adopt the measures to avert the acute emergency situation and stipulating the renegotiation of public service contracts.

 

The provisions in Law N° 25,561 have been later ratified and developed through the passing of Laws 25,790, 25,820, 25,972, 26,077 and 26,204, as well as through different regulatory and complementary rules.

 

The renegotiation process of Public Services and Works Contracts has been basically regulated and implemented in a first institutional stage through Decrees N° 293 of February 12, 2002 and N° 370 of February 22, 2002. And in a second stage, by Decree N° 311 of July 3, 2003 and Joint Resolution N° 188 and N° 44 of the Ministries of ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION, and of FEDERAL PLANNING, PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES, respectively, both dated August 6, 2003.

 

Decree N° 311/03 established that the renegotiation process shall be carried out through the PUBLIC SERVICE CONTRACT ANALYSIS AND RENEGOTIATION UNIT (“UNIREN”) presided by the Ministers of Economy and Production and of Federal Planning, Public Investments and Services.

 

UNIREN has been assigned the missions, among others, to carry out the process of renegotiating the Public Services and Works Contracts, to sign agreements with licensee companies of public services “ad referendum” of the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER, to bring forward ruling projects related to possible temporary price adjustments and to contractual clauses related to public services, as well as the mission to make any recommendation concerning public services and works contracts and the operation of such services.

 

By means of the Joint Resolution of the MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION N° 188/03 and of the MINISTRY OF FEDERAL PLANNING, PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES N° 44/03, it has been established that UNIREN be formed additionally by a Public Service Contract Analysis and Renegotiation Sector Committee (“Comité Sectorial de Renegociación y Análisis de Contratos de Servicios Públicos” ) and by the Executive Secretary of the Unit ( “Secretario Ejecutivo de la Unidad” ).

Said Committee is formed by State Secretaries with specific authority in the sectors related to public services and/or public works contracts subject to renegotiation, and by the Executive Secretary of the UNIREN.

 

Within the framework of said renegotiation procedures, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the NATIONAL STATE and the company AA2000 on July 20, 2005, which set forth the GUIDELINES for the renegotiation of the LICENSE CONTRACT for the EXPLOITATION, ADMINISTRATION AND OPERATION OF GROUP “A” OF THE NATIONAL AIRPORT SYSTEM, basing on the guidelines established by the SECRETARIAT OF TRANSPORT.

 

ORSNA, a decentralized Controlling Entity within the area of the SECRETARIAT OF TRANSPORT of the MINISTRY OF FEDERAL PLANNING, PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES, pursuant to the terms of Section 7° of Decree N° 311/03 and Section 13 of the Joint Resolution N° 188/03 and 44/03 of the Ministries of ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION, and of FEDERAL PLANNING, PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES, carried out the analysis of the situation and degree of fulfillment obtained by the LICENSE CONTRACT FOR THE EXPLOITATION, ADMINISTRATION AND OPERATION OF GROUP “A” OF THE NATIONAL AIRPORT SYSTEM, and sent to UNIREN several reports on this respect.

 

The Executive Secretariat of UNIREN has complied with the obligation of making the Report on the Fulfillment of the Contract set forth in Section 7 of the Joint Resolution of the MINISTRY OF ECONOMY AND PRODUCTION N° 188/03 and the MINISTRY OF FEDERAL PLANNING, PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES N° 44/03. This Report has been produced with the aim of presenting a fulfillment statement of the LICENSE CONTRACT FOR THE EXPLOITATION, ADMINISTRATION AND OPERATION OF GROUP “A” OF THE NATIONAL AIRPORT SYSTEM to serve as background and basis of the renegotiation process of the aforementioned contract, pursuant to the terms of Law N° 25,561 and subsequent and complementary rules.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding dated July 20, 2005 regarding the implementation of a new management model that allows the NATIONAL STATE an adequate direct control of the airport activity, both parties have agreed to introduce elements to allow the improvement of the regulation and control systems of the LICENSE.

 

Pursuant to international standards on the subject that impose income reinvestment in the activity, it was found sound, so as to make more efficient the allocation of this kind of resources, to adjust the obligations of the LICENSEE by turning a percentage of the LICENSE income into equity subject to specific allocation, for the investments that are necessary in infrastructure in the Airports of the National System. Moreover, what has been established in Law N° 25,924, Decree N° 1152/04 and Decree N° 642/97 can also be applied.

Pursuant to the principles of Law N° 17,520, the parties find convenient forming a Fund for studies, control and regulation of the LICENSE, by means of the specific allocation of income.

 

Moreover, it is herein determined that according to the principles that guided the license process, it is necessary to promote the instrumentation of mechanisms that allow to guarantee investment financing, both in licensed and not licensed airports, with the aim of obtaining the standards and levels of service quality demanded by the rules in force on the subject and the international treaties in which the NATION is party to.

 

Every time that in general terms the functions of regulation and management of the LICENSE CONTRACT are substantially different and imply the intervention of authorities competent on subjects of different nature, it is necessary to solve such differences regarding the assignment of said powers.

 

In this respect it is convenient to keep within the area of ORSNA the regulation and control powers differentiated from the powers of the ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY that shall be assigned to the SECRETARIAT OF TRANSPORT of the MINISTRY OF FEDERAL PLANNING, PUBLIC INVESTMENTS AND SERVICES as body with primary competence on the subject of management of transport systems, among them infrastructure and airport services.

 

The fulfilled renegotiation process has taken into account: a) the terms of Sections 8°, 9° and 10° of Law N° 25,561, Laws N° 25,790, 25,820, 25,972, 26,077 and 26,204 and Decree N° 311/03, as well as its regulatory and complementary rules; b) the provisions of the LICENSE CONTRACT; c) the background and projections of the service of the LICENSE according to the reports and analysis on record; and d) the conditions related to the economic and social situation of our country.

 

The renegotiation is based on rules and procedures to find the equilibrium point in the contracts adjustment.

 

The discussions conducted with the Company AEROPUERTOS ARGENTINA 2000 S.A. led to a first agreement expressed in a Memorandum of Understanding signed on June 16, 2006, which was finally replaced by a new MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING signed on August 23, 2006.

Public Service Contract Analysis

The PUBLIC HEARING was carried out on October 27, 2006 in the Town CARLOS SPEGAZZINI, District of EZEIZA, of the Province of Buenos Aires, in order to discuss the MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING put forward for consideration by public opinion.

 

Many and diverse opinions and arguments on behalf of different Actors were expressed because of the Hearing. Said opinions and arguments were dully analyzed by the UNIREN.

 

As a result of the evaluation of the opinions obtained in the Hearing, UNIREN considered proper to modify certain partial aspects of the understanding previously agreed, as it appears on the REPORT OF THE EVALUATION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING.

 

Considering that circumstances, another negotiation instance was carried out with the Company AEROPUERTOS ARGENTINA 2000 SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA to analyze the proposed changes, and an agreement was reached on the new understanding terms to be signed.

 

This instrument, which includes the terms of the complete renegotiation carried out, results from said understanding, and establishes the adjustment conditions of the LICENSE CONTRACT for the exploitation, administration and operation of Group “A” of the National Airport System, which was approved by Decree N° 163 of February 13, 1998, Pursuant to the applicable law, the instrumented proposal was submitted to the CONGRESS OF THE NATION (art, 4° Law N° 25,790) and, once it was passed, this MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT was signed “ad referendum” of the decision of the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE POWER, in its capacity of GRANTOR of the licensed service object of this agreement.

1. Income : to determine the income projection of the LICENSE for the 2006-2028 period, we have used as source of information, the passenger traffic and movement curve developed by the ORSNA. We have not considered any charge modification in the projection.

 

1.1. Aeronautical Income : This includes income received as air station usage fee, parking fee, landing fee and telescopic jet way usage fee.

 

The following chart exposes the annual increase percentages forecasted by the ORSNA for the aforementioned LICENSE period, discriminating between domestic and international passengers.

 

 

Such projection forecasts that movements will have the same evolution as the passenger traffic. The ORSNA forecasts a growth rate for the year 2006 of 9% for international traffic (pax and aircraft movement) and 2.5% for domestic traffic (pax and aircraft movement). For the following years, these rates tend to converge in an average value of around 3.5%.

1.2. Commercial Income: To make the commercial income projection, we used as basis the real commercial income for year 2005. Such income base was projected by means of the evolution of linked variables and by applying correlation functions, which are detailed in the following chart:

 

Concept   Linked variables   Correlation  
Ramp Services   Movements     80 %
Fuel   Movements     100 %
Tax Free Shop   International Passengers     100 %
Publicity   Investment Plan (*)     100 %
Parking   Total passengers     100 %
Catering   International Passengers     100 %
Rents   Investment Plan (*)     75 %
Transportation   Total passengers     100 %
Coffee shop   Total passengers     100 %
Services and shops   Total passengers     100 %
Reimbursement of expenses in public services   % of Expenses in public services     21 %

 

(*) This corresponds to the percentage of increase of the net investment.

 

Note: Additionally to the projection by the linked variables, we have taken into account income from payment for goodwill, for an annual average amount of around $ 5 million.

 

Likewise, we have adopted the following premises, as regards the business line evolution:

 

a) Tax Free Shop: The current terms of the LICENSE shall be kept until the end of the projection.

 

b) Ramp Services : The current terms of the LICENSE shall be kept until the end of the projection.

 

c) Fiscal Deposits : The premise considers that, from the second semester of 2009, the LICENSEE shall administer and exploit the 100% of the fiscal deposit activity that is currently carried out by Edcadassa. The income from the business, which is assumed to increase to an annual rate of 5%, has been exposed as commercial income from that date on.

2. Operative Expenses :

 

As a basis for the projection, the expenses presented by the LICENSEE in his/her tender for the year 2006 were used. The components of such cost structure are detailed below:

 

(Figures in Thousands of Pesos)
Personnel
Electricity
Gas
Water
Telephone
Mail
Maintenance and Repair
Stationary and Office material
Insurance policies
Hired Services
Fire-fighting and Medical Services
Matrix
Other Operation Expenses

 

Such expense structure is re-expressed based on the following polynomial formula:

 

[52,59% variation of the salary indexes + 14,23% variation of the exchange rate + 33,18% variation of the Wholesale Internal Price Index].

 

By applying such formula we obtain a re-expressed value of $194 million, to which we have added $22.3 million corresponding to the projected expenses related to the application of the Gross Income Tax and $4.8 million, corresponding to the debit and credit tax (without tax deductions) and subtracting $11.9 million by way of Management fee, in excess of the resulting amount of 3% over income for this item.

 

This $209-million basis has been considered as the level of operative expenses that the LICENSEE will have during 2006.

 

Such expense basis was projected to the year 2006-2028 by means of linked variables and correlation functions that are considered appropriate for the current license reality. Below, we expose such linked variables and the adopted correlation functions.

 

Concept   Linked variables   Correlation  
Salaries   Fixed      
Public Services   Investment Plan (*)     55 %
Maintenance   Total passengers     30 %
    Investment Plan (*)     35 %
Hired Services   Total passengers     30 %
Insurance policies   Investment Plan (*)     100 %
Fire-fighting and Medical Services   Total passengers     20 %
Other Operation Expenses   Investment Plan (*)     35 %
Matrix   Total passengers     30 %

 

(*) This corresponds to the percentage of increase of the net investment.

The aforementioned linked variables and correlation functions shall be considered for the purpose of future reviews.

 

3. Specific Allocation of the License Income:

 

The detailed provision in agreement with APPENDIX III to the present LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING was taken into account.

 

4. Mutual Claim Agreement:

 

A net balance at the expense of the license of $ 849.16 million and its repayment mechanisms were considered, according to the provisions of APPENDIX VII to the present LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING.

 

5. Investments:

 

The INVESTMENT PLAN corresponding to the period 2006-2028 is composed by: (i) Works needed to comply with the defined standards on service safety and quality and (ii) works that were also necessary, but were not being executed, and so have been rescheduled.

 

The INVESTMENT PLAN for the remaining years of the LICENSE period (2011 - 2028) shall be determined through five-year investment plans. For this period, the foreseen investment amount has been calculated as a function of the relation between committed investments and foreseen aeronautical incomes in the tender submitted by the LICENSEE, complemented by the remaining investment amount of works that have not still been executed, and which are scheduled to be finished in 2015.

6. (Tax) Amortizations: To make a projection for the tax amortizations, we have assumed that: a) investments have an average useful life of 24 years, b) the property, plant and equipment, pursuant to the provisions of the applicable standards, cannot be adjusted for inflation for tax purposes, and c) 100% of the investments shall be amortized at the end of the license period.

 

7. Taxes:

 

It was assumed that the company is affected by the following taxes:

 

· Income tax – Rate: 35%

 

· Minimum expected income tax – Rate: 1%

 

· Added Value Tax – Rate: 21% or 27%, depending on the concept.

 

· Gross Income tax – Rate: 4%

 

· Financial transfer tax – Rate: 1.2%, of which 0.2% was considered as payment to the account of income tax.

 

Additionally, it was considered that the suitability of the contract is not affected by stamp tax.

 

As regards the Income Tax, the Financial Projection of Incomes and Expenses considers the accumulated tax loss carry forward items.

 

In relation to the value added tax, the Financial Projection of Incomes and Expenses considers that when the tax position has a favorable balance, the recovery process of such balance shall take place in a period of 90 days.

 

8. Financing:

 

We should explain that, even when the Financial Projection of Incomes and Expenses of the License has not been taken into account, the Licensee foresees that he will be able to get financing for around US$ 400 million for the period 2006-2010, with the purpose of canceling the Negotiable Obligations issued by the LICENSEE, and having a working capital.

 

Below, we have included a detail of the required financing:

 

a) Third quarter 2006: Issuance of Series I for US$ 120 million for a term of 7 years plus one year’s grace, and an annual rate of 12%

 

b) Third quarter 2006: Payment of the balance of the ON.

 

c) Issuance Series II, for a total amount of US$ 150 million, for a term of 10 years, with 2 year’s grace and an annual interest rate of 8%

 

d) Issuance of other Series for US$ 1.30 million for a term of 7 years plus one year’s grace, and an annual rate of 12%.

5. Methodology to determine the MUTUAL CLAIM balance

 

We have used the following methodology to determine the amount differential for MUTUAL CLAIMS:

 

1) To each of those amounts, the following items were subtracted: a) payments made by the LICENSEE, b) amounts compensated by the ORSNA and c) claims made by the LICENSEE, which are added.

 

2) Each year’s balances, obtained as a result of the procedure exposed in 1), were adjusted by CER 2 (CPI 3 between 1998 and 2001), plus an annual 2% interest rate, with the purpose of taking those values to 2005.

 

3) To the obtained amount, according to the provisions of item 2), the claims that cannot be temporarily imputed were deducted.

SUB-APPENDIX VII-A

 

REPAYMENT MECHANISMS

 

1. Introduction

 

The status of the MUTUAL CLAIMS between the LICENSEE and the LICENSOR was determined taking into account the obligations undertaken by the LICENSOR and the LICENSEE

 

Based on the provisions of the “MUTUAL CLAIMS” Appendix, the amounts difference for MUTUAL CLAIMS gives a credit balance to the NATIONAL STATE of $ 849.16 million.

 

2. Listing of payment mechanisms

WHEREAS: As per the above mentioned Resolution # 51.952 of the Ministry of National Defense, it was resolved to open an instance of evaluation by the State concerning alternative proposals to the Master Plan and to the Technical Guidelines of the Comprehensive Management Agreement submitted by the Contractor. Those alternative proposals were: a) immediate extension of Runway 06-24 in 200 meters so that said runway would reach a total extension of 3,200 meters, b) construction of a new stretch of road on taxiway B, identified as B T8, postponing the construction of the new taxiway B between taxiways D and A, until the date it is determined to be necessary for a proper operation of Carrasco International Airport or until year 2017 (whichever happens first); c) to change the location of the Cargo Terminal to another area, nearer the future Passenger Terminal. WHEREAS: I) According to what has been set forth on WHEREAS II) of the above mentioned Resolution # 51.952 of the Ministry of National Defense, the criteria for the evaluation of alternative proposals are based

Upon the issuance of any substituted Note under this Section, the Indenture Trustee may require the payment by the Noteholder thereof of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any fees and expenses (including those of the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

In the event that Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described in Section 4.2(a) , the Company, in its sole discretion, will be permitted to classify such item of Debt on the date of its incurrence, and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Debt in one of such clauses although the Company may divide and classify an item of Debt in one or more of the types of Debt and may later re-divide or reclassify all or a portion of such item of Debt in any manner that complies with this covenant.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Default, the Indenture Trustee or the Controlling Party by notice then given in writing to the Company and the Argentine Collateral Trustee ( and the Indenture Trustee if given by the Controlling Party), shall declare the Principal Balance of the Notes immediately due and payable and the Company shall then be required to pay the Default Payment; provided that any Default under Section 5.1(f) (if a Concession Indemnification Event has occurred) or (h) of the definition of “Default” shall automatically be deemed to have resulted in an immediate declaration of the Principal Balance of the Notes to be due and payable and the requirement for the Company to make payment of the Default Payment.

 

(b)          Upon a request (or deemed request) to the Company for such payment, the Company shall promptly (but in any event by no later than the next Business Day) pay to the Indenture Trustee an amount equal to the Default Payment; provided that if such date of payment is not a New York Business Day, then the amount of the Default Payment shall be determined as if such date of payment were the next New York Business Day ( e.g. , additional Interest shall be included). If a Default Payment is requested (or deemed requested) to be made, then the Indenture Trustee shall also (in coordination with the Argentine Collateral Trustee to the extent applicable) apply funds in the Transaction Accounts for such purpose (any such application resulting in an equivalent reduction in the amount of the Default Payment remaining to be paid by the Company).

 

(c)          As promptly as reasonably possible after its Actual Knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or an Unmatured Default: (i) the Argentine Collateral Trustee shall provide notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee and (ii) the Indenture Trustee (including after notice from the Argentine Collateral Trustee pursuant to clause (i) ) shall provide notice thereof to each Noteholder and (unless such occurrence was notified to it by the Argentine Collateral Trustee pursuant to clause (i) ) the Argentine Collateral Trustee.

Any Beneficial Owner of Notes issued under this Indenture represented by a Global Note will be able to obtain from the relevant depositary, upon request, a certificate representing its interest in the relevant Global Note in accordance with the Argentine Capital Markets Law. Such certificate shall enable such Beneficial Owner to initiate legal action before any competent court in Argentina, including a summary proceeding, to obtain overdue amounts under the Notes.

(f)           The Company agrees promptly (and, in any event, within 10 Business Days of its receipt of an invoice therefor) to pay or reimburse each Beneficiary for all of its costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any enforcement or collection proceedings resulting from a Default.

 

Section 5.2          Payment of a Default Payment . (a) If the Default Payment (or a portion thereof) is made by (or on behalf of) the Company (including from funds in the Transaction Accounts), then the Indenture Trustee shall apply such amounts to make payment to the applicable Beneficiaries; it being understood that such payments to the applicable Beneficiaries of the Default Payment (b) might not occur until the Indenture Trustee’s Business Day after the Redemption Date and no additional Interest or other amounts shall accrue as a result of any such delay and (c) subject to the rights of the Company to request Basic Concession Operating Costs pursuant to Section 9.6 if a Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(b)          From the Default Payment: (i) the Noteholders shall be entitled to receive an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to the sum of: (A) the Principal Balance of the Notes, (B) all accrued and unpaid Interest (if any) on the Notes to but excluding the Redemption Date, (C) all unpaid Additional Amounts and (D) all other amounts (if any) then due and payable to the Noteholders under the Transaction Documents, and (ii) each other Beneficiary (including each Trustee) shall be entitled to receive all fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to it by the Company under the Transaction Documents. No Redemption/tender Premium would be payable by the Company with respect to any such redemption.

 

(c)          In connection with any requirement for the Company to pay the Default Payment, subject to the rights of the Company to request Basic Concession Operating Costs pursuant to Section 9.6, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the amounts on deposit from time to time in the Dollar Collection Account shall as promptly as possible be applied by the Indenture Trustee to the extent necessary to satisfy payment, in whole or in part, of such Default Payment.

  - 77 -  

 

 

(d)          Should a partial payment of the Default Payment be made, such payment shall, subject to the rights of the Company to request Basic Concession Operating Costs pursuant to Section 9.6 if a Default has occurred and is continuing, be allocated in the following order of priority: (i) on a pro rata basis, all fees, expenses and indemnities (if any) payable to the Indenture Trustee and the Argentine Collateral Trustee; (ii) the Principal Balance of the Notes, (iii) all accrued and unpaid Interest (if any) on the Notes, (iv) all unpaid Additional Amounts and (v) on a pro rata basis, all other amounts (if any) then due and payable to the Beneficiaries under the Transaction Documents. Any payment of the Principal Balance of the Notes as a result of a Default Payment shall, to the extent that the Principal Balance of the Notes has not been paid in full, be applied to reduce the remaining scheduled Quarterly Amortization Amounts in inverse order of maturity.

 

(e)          If a Default Payment shall not have been paid in full by the date required, then the Indenture Trustee shall have a direct cause of action against the Company to collect such unpaid amount for the benefit of the applicable Beneficiaries entitled to such payments and shall be entitled to use any legally available remedies in connection therewith.

 

(f)           No right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Trustee or to the holders of the Notes under this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy.

THE TRUSTEES

 

Section 6.1          Duties of the Trustees; Certain Rights of the Trustees . (a) Before the occurrence of a Default of which a Responsible Officer of the applicable Trustee has Actual Knowledge and after the curing of all such Defaults that may have occurred, each of the Trustees (in its respective capacities) undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. If a Default exists to the Actual Knowledge of a Trustee, then it shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by the Transaction Documents and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

 

(b)          Neither the Trustees, their respective agents nor their respective Affiliates shall be liable for any act or omission made in connection with this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents except: (y) in connection with the Transaction Documents governed by a law other than Argentine law, in the case of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such Person (or, with respect to a Trustee, any of its respective agents or Affiliates), and (z) in connection with the Transaction Documents governed by Argentine law, in the case of culpa (roughly translated as fault or negligence) or dolo (roughly translated as fraud or deceit) (each as applied under Argentine law) of any such Person (or, with respect to a Trustee, any of its respective agents or Affiliates). In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the Trustees’ rights, duties and protections hereunder, and unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture and/or any other Transaction Document, each of the Trustees shall (subject to the terms hereof and of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party) grant such consents, make such requests and determinations and take or refrain from taking such actions as are permitted (but not expressly required) to be granted, made or taken by it under the Transaction Documents, as the Controlling Party shall direct in writing (in each case, subject to Section 6.1(c) ). No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve either Trustee from liability for its (or its agents’ or Affiliates’) gross negligence/willful misconduct or culpa/dolo (as applicable); provided that:

(i)         the duties and obligations of a Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and it shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents against it,

 

(ii)         in the absence of gross negligence/willful misconduct or culpa/dolo (as applicable) on the part of a Trustee, it may conclusively rely as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any Transaction Document and upon any statements, certificates or opinions furnished to it pursuant to any of the Transaction Documents and conforming to the requirements of the Transaction Documents; it being understood that neither Trustee shall have any obligation to perform any calculation or to make any determination with respect to any financial matter (including the determination of any financial ratio or any amount due in respect of payments of the Notes),

 

(iii)         neither Trustee shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by any of its Responsible Officers unless such Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts, nor shall either Trustee be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the written direction of the Controlling Party under, or believed by it to be authorized or permitted by, this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents, and shall not be liable for accepting, or acting upon, any decision made by the Controlling Party in accordance herewith, and

 

(iv)         in no event shall either Trustee be liable under or in connection with the Transaction Documents for special, incidental or punitive losses, liabilities or damages of any kind whatsoever, including lost consequential profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if such Trustee has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought.

 

(c)          (i) Each Trustee may conclusively rely upon, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, and shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in, any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, note, guaranty or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person(s); provided that each Trustee may make such further inquiry or investigation as it shall determine to be appropriate.

(ii)         Neither Trustee shall be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party at the request, order or direction of the Controlling Party unless the Controlling Party shall have furnished to (or caused to be furnished to) such Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, that might be incurred by such Trustee therein or thereby.

 

(iii)         Except as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, nothing in this Indenture or the other Transaction Documents shall require either Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any legal or financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is payable to it but not reasonably assured to it.

 

(iv)         As a condition to the taking of or omitting to take any action by it hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, each Trustee may consult with counsel, an accountant, an appraiser or any other expert or advisor of its selection and the advice of such counsel, accountant, appraiser or other expert or advisor or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action reasonably taken or omitted by it under the Transaction Documents in good faith and in conclusive reliance thereon.

Any resolution adopted by any such Person in connection with such a request or direction shall be sufficiently evidenced by a copy of such resolution certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary (or similar officer) of such Person to have been duly adopted and to be in full force and effect.

 

(vii)        Wherever in the administration of this Indenture and/or any other Transaction Document a Trustee shall reasonably deem it desirable that a factual ( i.e. , non-legal) matter be proved or established before taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder or thereunder, such Trustee (unless other evidence is specifically prescribed in the Transaction Documents) may, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (with respect to Transaction Documents governed by a law other than Argentine law) or culpa or dolo (with respect to Transaction Documents governed by Argentine law, such terms being as applied under Argentine law) on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate of the applicable Person.

 

  - 80 -  

 

 

(viii)      Should either Trustee be required by the terms of the Transaction Documents to effect an exchange of funds through the Argentine FX Market and, in its reasonable determination, it is not certain whether such exchange is permitted under Argentine Applicable Law, then it shall have the right to request from the Company (and, if requested, to receive promptly) an Opinion of Counsel provided at the expense of the Company that such exchange is permitted by Argentine Applicable Law; provided that if the Company fails to have such an Opinion of Counsel delivered within five Buenos Aires Business Days after its receipt of such a request, then such Trustee shall either request an Opinion of Counsel from counsel of its selection (the cost for which shall be paid from the Expense Payment Account) or shall be protected in effecting such an exchange.

 

(ix)         The right of a Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty, and neither Trustee shall be answerable for other than its (or any of its agent’s or Affiliate’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of such act.

 

(x)          Each Trustee shall have the right to require that any directions, instructions or notices provided to it be signed by an Authorized Person (as defined in this paragraph), be provided on corporate letterhead, be notarized or contain such other evidence as may be reasonably requested by such Trustee to establish the identity and/or signatures thereon. The identity of such Authorized Persons, as well as their specimen signatures, title, telephone number and e-mail address, shall (if so requested by a Trustee) be delivered to such Trustee and shall remain in effect until the applicable Person, or an entity acting on its behalf, notifies such Trustee of any change thereto (the person(s) so designated from time to time, the “ Authorized Persons ”) .

 

(xi)         The parties hereto acknowledge that any action taken by the Person acting as either Trustee, in any capacity other than its capacity as a Trustee and/or (with respect to the Argentine Collateral Trustee) as the Indenture Trustee’s Representative in Argentina, shall not be deemed as a conflict of interest with its duties under the Transaction Documents, even if any decision made by it may deny or restrict any of the rights set forth hereunder in favor of the parties hereto or any of the Beneficiaries.

 

(d)          The parties hereto (and each Noteholder by its acquisition of a Note or a beneficial interest therein will be deemed to) acknowledge and agree to the provisions of Section 17 of the Argentine Collateral Trust Agreement.

Thereafter, the applicable Beneficiaries may (subject to any applicable statute of limitations) look only to the Company for any payment that they may be entitled to collect under the Transaction Documents, and all liability of the Trustees with respect to such monies shall thereupon cease.

 

Section 7.4          Defeasance .The Company shall at any time terminate all of its obligations with respect to the Notes (a “ Defeasance ”), except for certain obligations, including those to the Indenture Trustee and the agents appointed under the Indenture, those regarding any trust established for a defeasance and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the Notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and to maintain agencies in respect of Notes. The Company may at any time terminate its obligations under certain covenants set forth in the Indenture with respect to the Notes, and any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute an Unmatured Default or Default with respect to the Notes (“ Covenant Defeasance ”). In order to exercise either defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, the Company must irrevocably deposit in trust, for the benefit of the Noteholders, with the trustee money or U.S. government obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient, in the opinion of an internationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee, without consideration of any reinvestment, to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity and comply with certain other conditions, including the delivery of an opinion of legal counsel of recognized standing to the effect that the Noteholders shall not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance and shall be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same time as would otherwise have been the case (and in the case of a Defeasance that is not a Covenant Defeasance, such opinion will be based on a change in law or a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service).

Section 8.3          Document Affecting Immunity or Indemnity . Notwithstanding Sections 8.1 and 8.2 , if, in the reasonable opinion of either Trustee, any document required to be executed by it pursuant to such Sections adversely affects any interest, right, duty, immunity or indemnity in favor of it under the Transaction Documents, then it may in its sole discretion decline to execute such document.

 

Section 8.4          Effect of Amendments . Upon the execution of any amendment hereto under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 , this Indenture and any Note(s) shall be and be deemed to be amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustees, the other Beneficiaries and the Company shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such amendment hereto shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

  - 107 -  

 

  

Section 8.6          Notation on Notes in Respect of Amendments .

Section 8.7          Meetings of Noteholders . (a) A meeting of the Noteholders may be called by the Company’s board of directors, the Company’s supervisory committee, the Indenture Trustee, or upon the request of Noteholders holding at least 5% of the Principal Balance of the outstanding Notes (at the expense of the Company). If a meeting is held pursuant to such written requests of the Noteholders, such written requests will include the specific matters to be addressed in the meeting, and such meeting shall be convened within 40 days from the date such written request is received by the Company.

 

For the purpose of clarification, a meeting is not the exclusive manner in which the Noteholders may take any such actions outside of Argentina, which may be taken in any other manner permitted by New York law (such as via written consent); however , no such action shall be valid under Argentine law until it has been ratified by a meeting of Noteholders (or their representatives) held in the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina in accordance with the Negotiable Obligations Law and the Argentine Corporations Law as described in Section 8.7 (b) . As a result, the ability of Noteholders to take actions under the Transaction Documents, including to take actions after the occurrence of a Default, will be affected by these requirements.

 

(b)          Meetings of Noteholders will be convened and held in accordance with the provisions of the Negotiable Obligations Law and the Argentine Corporations Law. Meetings may be ordinary meetings or extraordinary meetings. Any proposed amendment to the terms and conditions of the notes shall be dealt with at our extraordinary meeting. Any such meetings shall be held in the City of Buenos Aires; provided however, that as long as it is permitted under Argentine law, the Company or the Indenture Trustee may elect to hold any such meeting in New York City and the Indenture Trustee or the Company may elect to hold any such meeting simultaneously in New York City by means or telecommunications which permit the meeting’s participants to hear and speak to each other and such simultaneous meeting shall be deemed to constitute a simple meeting for the purposes of the quorum and voting percentages applicable to such meeting. In any case, meetings shall be held at such time and at such place in any city as the Company or the Indenture Trustee (as applicable) determine. Any resolution passed at a meeting convened outside of Argentina shall be binding upon all Noteholders (whether present or not at such meeting) only upon ratification by a meeting of Noteholders held in the City of Buenos Aires in accordance with the Negotiable Obligations Law. With respect to any meetings of Noteholders to be held in the City of Buenos Aires, any one or more Noteholder(s) may grant a power-of-attorney to one or more attorney(s)-in-fact for purposes of attending and voting the Notes (or beneficial interests therein) of such Noteholder(s), including with respect to any ratification of any actions approved at a meeting of Noteholders held outside of Argentina. Subject to the above, any resolution duly passed at a meeting of Noteholders shall be binding upon all Noteholders (whether or not they were present at the meeting at which the decision was adopted and/or ratified). Pursuant to the Negotiable Obligations Law, any such meeting shall be presided over by the Indenture Trustee (or by the Argentine representative of the Indenture Trustee acting on its behalf) and in the absence of such Indenture Trustee by a member of the Company’s supervisory committee or, otherwise, by a representative of the regulatory authority or by such other person as may be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction for such purpose.

Notice of any meeting of Noteholders shall include the date, place and time for the meeting, the agenda therefor and the requirements to attend, shall be given as set forth under “—Notices” and shall be given not less than 10 days nor more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting and will be published at the Company’s expense in each of: (a) for five Business Days in Argentina in the Argentine Official Gazette, (b) a newspaper published in the Spanish language and of wide circulation in Argentina and in the bulletin of the BCBA Gazette (as long as the Notes are listed on MERVAL), in the bulletin of MAE (as long as the Notes are traded on MAE), or such other informative systems of the markets in which the Notes are listed, as is applicable, and (c) a newspaper published in the English language and of general circulation in New York City, and any such publication shall be for at least five consecutive Business Days in each place of publication. Noteholder meetings may be simultaneously convened for two dates, in case the initial meeting were to be adjourned for lack of quorum. However, for meetings that include in the agenda items requiring unanimous approval by the Noteholders or the amendment of any of the terms and conditions of the Notes, notice of a new meeting resulting from adjournment of the initial meeting for lack of quorum shall be given not less than eight days prior to the date fixed for such new meeting and shall be published for three Business Days in the Official Gazette of Argentina, a newspaper of general circulation in Argentina and the bulletin of the BCBA (as long as the Notes are listed on MERVAL), the bulletin of MAE (as long as the Notes are traded on MAE), or such other informative systems of the markets in which the Notes are listed, as is applicable.

 

(d)          The quorum at any meeting called to adopt a resolution shall be persons holding or representing greater than 50% of the Principal Balance; provided that if any meeting is adjourned for lack of the requisite quorum, then a second meeting may be convened at which Persons holding or representing greater than 25% of the Principal Balance shall constitute a quorum. The quorum at any extraordinary meeting called to adopt a resolution shall be Persons holding or representing at least 60% in the aggregate of the Principal Balance of the Notes and at any reconvened adjourned extraordinary meeting shall be Persons holding or representing at least 30% in aggregate of the Principal Balance. Any modifications, amendments or waivers to the terms and conditions of the Notes shall be conclusive and binding upon all Noteholders whether or not they have given such consent or were present at any meeting, and whether or not notation of such modifications, amendments or waivers is made upon the Notes, if approved by the affirmative vote of a majority in aggregate of the Principal Balance of the Notes present or represented at such meeting and duly passed at such meeting convened and at which a quorum is present, held in accordance with the provisions of the Negotiable Obligations Law and the Argentine Corporations Law; provided that, notwithstanding the amount of the Principal Balance of the Notes present at any such meeting, no modifications, amendments or waivers of any of the Transaction Documents, or any other actions, made by any such meeting shall be valid unless they otherwise comply with the voting and other requirements of the Transaction Documents (including, notwithstanding that quorum might have been obtained at a meeting, the requirement that Noteholders holding more than the indicated percentage of the Principal Balance required by Section 8.2 being complied with during such vote at such meeting).

(e)          Any Noteholder may attend any such meeting either personally or by proxy. To be entitled to vote at a meeting of Noteholders, a Person shall be (i) a Holder of one or more Notes as of the relevant record date or (ii) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by such a Noteholder of one or more Notes. Other than clearing systems (and their representatives), each Noteholder who intends to attend any such meeting must notify the Indenture Trustee in writing of its intention to do so at least three Business Days before the date of such meeting. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly thereafter notify the Argentine Collateral Trustee (in its capacity as registrar of the Notes) in writing of all notifications of attendance received from the Noteholders planning to attend such meeting. Such notification to the Indenture Trustee shall entitle the applicable Noteholder to attend such meeting.

 

(f)           [Reserved].

 

(g)          [Reserved].

 

(h)          The Company shall designate or the Indenture Trustee may designate the record date for determining the Noteholders entitled to vote at any meeting and the Company shall provide notice to Noteholders in the manner set forth in the Indenture, provided that such record date shall be fixed on a date at least three Business Days prior to the date of such meeting, as provided by Argentine law. The holder of a Note may, at any meeting of Noteholders at which such Noteholder is entitled to vote, cast one vote for each U.S. dollar of Principal Balance of the Notes held by such Noteholder.

 

For purposes of the above, any Note authenticated and delivered pursuant to the Indenture will, as of any date of determination, be deemed to be “outstanding,” except:

(ii)      Notes that have been called for redemption or tendered for repurchase in accordance with their terms or which have become due and payable at maturity or otherwise and with respect to which monies sufficient to pay the principal thereof and any premium, interest, Additional Amounts or other amount thereon have been deposited with the Company or with the Trustee; or

 

(iii)     Notes in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes have been authenticated and delivered;

 

provided , however , that in determining whether the Noteholders of the requisite Principal Balance of outstanding Notes are present at a meeting of Noteholders for quorum purposes or have consented to or voted in favor of any notice, consent, waiver, amendment, modification or supplement under the Indenture, Notes owned directly or indirectly by the Company or any of its Affiliates, including any Subsidiary, will be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding.

 

  - 110 -  

 

  

Section 8.8          Solicitation of Noteholders . The Company shall, upon reasonable request from the Indenture Trustee, provide the Indenture Trustee with sufficient information, to the extent that such information is reasonably available to the Company, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable each Noteholder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, modification, waiver, supplement or consent in respect of any of the Transaction Documents.

 

Section 8.9          Voting by the Company and Any Affiliates Thereof .

Promptly after the Company or any Affiliate thereof acquires or disposes of any Notes (or beneficial interests therein), it shall so notify the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon any such notices received or if no such notices have been received. It is noted that neither the Company (except to the extent still held before cancellation thereof pursuant to Section 2.7(b) or (c) ) nor any of its Subsidiaries is permitted to hold any of the Notes (or beneficial interests therein).

  - 111 -  

 

 

(c)          While it is expected that the Concession Indemnification Rights will be payable in Pesos and that the Use Fees will be payable in both Dollars or Pesos, should any other currency be used for any such payment then the Company, the Indenture Trustee and/or the Argentine Collateral Trustee (as applicable) shall convert (with respect to payments) or notionally convert (with respect to calculations, such as of the Collection Ratio) such amount into Dollars at the rate most recently (but no earlier than five New York Business Days before) published in the New York edition of the Wall Street Journal or, if such does not exist, in such other publication as shall be reasonably selected thereby; it being understood that the Indenture Trustee may (before converting such amounts into Dollars) be required to open a new trust account in connection with any such payment received by it in a currency other than Dollars ( it being understood that it may take in excess of two weeks for such account to be so opened and such funds to be so converted) and any costs related thereto shall be for the account of the Company.

 

Section 9.2          Dollar Collection Account . As noted in Section 9.1(a) , the Dollar Collection Account shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee in the United States as a segregated trust account. Use Fees on deposit in the Dollar Collection Account shall be released by the Indenture Trustee to the Company on a weekly basis, unless (i) the Indenture Trustee has Actual Knowledge that a Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case all amounts on deposit in the Dollar Collection Account shall be retained in the Dollar Collection Account and applied to pay Interest and principal on the Notes and other amounts payable to the Beneficiaries under the Transaction Documents in the manner provided in Section 9.6 or (ii) the Company, at its option, instructs the Indenture Trustee in writing to retain payments in the Dollar Collection Account for the period of time and in the amounts designated by the Company, in which case amounts so retained shall be applied by the Indenture Trustee to pay Interest and principal on the Notes.

On or before each Payment Date, the Company will fund the Dollar Collection Account (and may instruct the Indenture Trustee to retain payments of Use Fees in the Dollar Collection Account as described in clause (ii) of “Dollar Collection Account” above) with an amount equal to at least 100% of the amount of Interest and principal payable on the Notes on such Payment Date.

 

Section 9.3          Peso Collection Account and Local Dollar Collection Account .

The Argentine Collateral Trustee shall be required to give the Indenture Trustee written notice of receipt of any payments received relating to any Concession Indemnification Event, and receipt of such notice will constitute actual knowledge of the Indenture Trustee that a Default has occurred and is continuing.

The Company shall pay all of the Trustees’ fees, expenses and indemnities directly to each of the Indenture Trustee and the Argentine Collateral Trustee (and all Taxes payable by the Trust) as and when due and, only to the extent that the Company has not paid any such amounts directly, the funds credited to the Expense Payment Account shall be used to pay such fees and (to the extent advised on a timely basis as per the preceding sentence) expenses, indemnities and Taxes when payable (such amounts being paid first to Taxes payable by the Trust and then on a pro rata basis to the payees thereof, first with respect to fees and then with respect to any expenses and indemnities). Funds in the Expense Payment Account shall not be used for the payment of Interest, principal or other amounts with respect to the Transaction Documents unless and until all such fees, expenses and indemnities to the Trustees and the Attorney-in-Fact and such Taxes payable by the Trust have been paid. To the extent that the amount on deposit in the Expense Payment Account exceeds the amount required to be therein pursuant to this Section, then the Argentine Collateral Trustee shall deliver such funds to the Company; provided that if the Argentine Collateral Trustee has Actual Knowledge that a Default has occurred and is continuing then such funds shall only be so released to the Company to the extent that all amounts payable by the Company under the Transaction Documents have been paid in full and the Principal Balance of the Notes is US$0.

Before taking any such actions, the Indenture Trustee may request (and if requested, shall be entitled to receive) an Opinion of Counsel, at the expense of the Company, that such actions will be in compliance with Applicable Law. Interest and principal on the Notes are expected to be paid from the Collection Accounts, with any funds in the Collection Accounts being applied as set forth below.

(d)           fourth , all remaining funds in the Collection Accounts shall be paid to the Noteholders on each New York Business Day to the extent necessary to pay any Redemption/tender Premium payable to the Noteholders (such amounts being applied on a pro rata basis to the applicable Noteholders),

 

(e)           fifth, all remaining funds in the Collection Accounts shall be paid to the Beneficiaries on each New York Business Day to the extent necessary to pay any remaining amounts payable (other than principal as set forth in (f) below) to the Beneficiaries under the Transaction Documents (such amounts being applied on a pro rata basis among all such amounts), and

 

(f)            sixth, all remaining funds in the Collection Accounts shall be paid to the Noteholders on each New York Business Day to the extent necessary to reduce the Principal Balance of the Notes to US$0.

 

The payments referred to above will continue until the relevant Default has been cured.

 

  - 115 -  

 

  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Company lacks sufficient funds to pay Basic Concession Operating Costs, the Company shall be required to instruct the Argentine Collateral Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, in writing (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G ), to, commencing on the Business Day following the receipt of such instruction and until they receive a written instruction of the Company to the contrary (i) deliver, on a weekly basis to the Company Collections relating to the Transferred Rights deposited in the Collection Accounts, and (ii) apply, on each Payment Date, any remaining amounts in the Collection Accounts accordance with the priorities set forth in clauses (a) to (f) above. Such instruction of the Company shall apply with respect to Collections equal to the amount of the Basic Concession Operating Costs specified in such instruction. The amounts remitted to the Company pursuant to such instruction shall be taken from Collection Accounts pro rata , based upon the Collections credited to each such Collection Account. The instruction to the Argentine Collateral Trustee and the Indenture Trustee is required to be accompanied by a certification from an officer of the Company and an accounting report issued by Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L. or any other internationally recognized auditing firm (in English and Spanish, as applicable) stating that Company’s calculation of the Basic Concession Operation Costs set forth in any such instruction corresponds to the accounting records of the Company. In the event the Company receives amounts in excess of the amounts required to cover Basic Concession Operating Costs, such excess amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Beneficiaries and shall be promptly returned to the Indenture Trustee and the Argentine Collateral Trustee, as applicable. The Indenture Trustee and the Argentine Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely upon such written instruction and be fully protected, without liability, in transferring such collections to the Company. Once the Basic Concession Operating Costs have been satisfied, the Company shall then be required to instruct the Argentine Collateral Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, in writing (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H ) to terminate the request for the remittance of the Basic Concession Operating Costs.

 

On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall (in a report materially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F ) notify the Company of the amounts applied on such date (or during the Interest Period (or portion thereof) to but excluding such date) pursuant to each of the clauses in this Section.

 

Section 9.7          Securities Accounts . (a) The parties hereto (including, for the purpose of this Section only, the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as “securities intermediary”) hereby agree that, for so long as such account is maintained in New York at the Person acting as the Indenture Trustee: (i) the Dollar Collection Account shall be “securities accounts” as defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC, (ii) such Person is (and hereby represents that it is) a “securities intermediary” as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC, (iii) the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” for such accounts for purposes of Section 8-110(e) of the UCC is New York, (iv) all property credited to such accounts shall be treated as “financial assets” under Article 8 of the UCC, (v) the Indenture Trustee shall be the “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC), (vi) such Person is not a “clearing corporation” (as defined in Section 8-102 of the UCC), (vii) such Person treats the Indenture Trustee as the sole “entitlement holder” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) with respect to the accounts described in clause (i) , in each case that are maintained with it, (viii) none of the financial assets credited to any of the accounts described in clause (i) shall be registered in the name of, payable to the order of, or specially endorsed to any Person other than such bank as “securities intermediary,” (ix) such Person, as the “securities intermediary” with respect to the accounts described in clause (i) , has not agreed to comply with any “entitlement order” (as defined in Section 8- 102(a)(8) of the UCC) with respect to any such account of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee and (x) the Indenture Trustee acquired its interest in each of the accounts described in clause (i) without “notice of an adverse claim” (within the meaning of Sections 8-102(a)(1) and 8-105 of the UCC). Should the Indenture Trustee maintain any of the accounts described in clause (i) in any other jurisdiction in the United States, then it shall be deemed to have represented and agreed to similar provisions in such other jurisdiction.

 

  - 116 -  

 

 

(b)          The parties hereto agree that, except as otherwise provided herein, the Dollar Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee and that neither the Company nor the Argentine Collateral Trustee shall have any right to close, make withdrawals from or give disbursement directions with respect to such accounts. The Indenture Trustee represents that it has not allowed, and hereby agrees that it will not allow, any other Person to have control of any of the Dollar Collection Account and further represents that it has not entered into, and hereby agrees that it will not enter into, any control agreement or any other agreement relating to such accounts with any other third party.

 

(c)          The financial institution acting as the Indenture Trustee, in its capacity as “securities intermediary” with respect to the Dollar Collection Account, hereby acknowledges the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Dollar Collection Account and all cash, instruments, investment property and other assets on deposit therein or credited thereto from time to time and all financial assets and securities entitlements on deposit therein or credited thereto and all proceeds of such assets.

 

Section 9.8          Notices to Payors . In the manner described in Section 2.7 of the Argentine Collateral Trust Agreement: (a) the Company, the Argentine Collateral Trustee and (with respect to the Transferred Concession Indemnification Rights, the Argentine National Government) the Existing Note Collateral Trustee will send to certain Payors of the Transferred Rights a Notice governed by Argentine law of the transfer of the Transferred Rights to the Trust, and (b) on or before the Issuance Date the Company shall publish in both: (i) a newspaper published in the Spanish language and of wide circulation in Argentina and (ii) the Official Gazette of Argentina notice of the assignment of the Transferred Rights to the Trust.

 

Section 9.9          Redemption of Existing Notes . On the Issuance Date, the Company shall deliver to the Existing Notes Indenture Trustee any and all notices (together with any information, exhibits or attachments required to be included therewith) required under the Existing Indenture to satisfy and discharge the Existing Indenture on the Existing Notes Redemption Date. Such notices shall be delivered in accordance with the notice and delivery provisions of the Existing Indenture.

 

To secure its obligations under the Transaction Documents, pursuant to the Argentine Collateral Trust Agreement, the Company shall (under Argentine law) transfer and assign to the Argentine Collateral Trustee, acting on behalf of an Argentine trust to be created in accordance with Articles 1666 to 1707 of the Argentine Commercial and Civil Code (the “Trust” ), for the benefit of the Beneficiaries, all of: (a) the Transferred Use Fees and the Transferred Concession Indemnification Rights and (b) its rights in, to and under (but none of its obligations under or relating to) the Concession Agreement, other contractual agreements and Applicable Laws to the extent necessary in order to receive and pursue payments thereunder (the Property described in clauses (a) and (b) collectively being the “ Transferred Rights ”). The collateral assignment of the Transferred Rights must be previously authorized by a resolution of the ORSNA, which is responsible for the auditing of the application of the funds. On January 17, 2017, the ORSNA issued Resolution No. 1/2017, pursuant to which it authorized the collateral assignment of revenue under the Notes, up to an amount equal to US$400,000,000.

 

  - 117 -  

 

 

During the Existing Notes Pre-Redemption Period, the transfer of the Transferred Rights to the Argentine Collateral Trustee (under Argentine law) shall be limited to an amount equal to the Existing Notes Redemption Principal Amount. Pursuant to the Argentine Collateral Trust Agreement, the Argentine Collateral Trustee will acknowledge that during the Existing Notes Pre-Redemption Period, the transfer of the Transferred Rights to the Existing Notes Trustee under the Existing Trust is a prior assignment and thus will be senior to, and have priority over, the assignment of the Argentine Collateral Trustee with respect to the Existing Notes Redemption Principal Amount. The Transferred Rights have previously been assigned and transferred to the Existing Notes Trustee under the Existing Trust securing the Company’s obligations under the Existing Notes. Thus, payments in respect of the Transferred Rights shall flow into the Trust only after the Existing Notes Indenture Trustee has collected sufficient funds to redeem the Existing Notes. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of the Existing Indenture and Existing Trust, automatically and without any further action by the Company or the Argentine Collateral Trustee, the transfer of the Transferred Rights to the Argentine Collateral Trustee shall not be limited to the Existing Notes Redemption Principal Amount, but will apply with respect to all of the Transferred Rights. As a result of such transfer, the Trust shall own all of the Collections.

 

Section 9.10        Reserve Account . The Indenture Trustee shall maintain in the United States, a segregated trust account (the “ Reserve Account ”) for the benefit of the Beneficiaries and the holders of the Existing Notes that, inter alia, shall receive on the Issuance Date the net proceeds of the offering of the Notes, as described under Section 4.1(c). On the Business Day preceding the Existing Notes Redemption Date, the Indenture Trustee shall disburse to the Existing Notes Indenture Trustee from the Reserve Account an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Existing Notes Redemption Principal Amount and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Notes to the Existing Notes Redemption Date and the applicable prepayment premiums for the Existing Notes. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of the Existing Indenture, the Existing Trust and the release of the liens on the Transferred Rights assigned and transferred to the Existing Trust, the Indenture Trustee shall disburse all amounts remaining in the Reserve Account as directed by the Company.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 10.1        Payments; Currency Indemnity and Foreign Exchange Restrictions . (a) Except to the extent otherwise stated in the applicable Transaction Document(s), each payment to be made hereunder or on any Note shall be made on the required payment date in the applicable currency and in immediately available funds at the office of the payee specified in Section 10.9 or to such other office or account as may be specified by any party in a notice to the applicable sender of such payment.

 

  - 118 -  

 

  

(b)          Except with respect to the payment of certain fees and expenses to the Argentine Collateral Trustee, Dollars are the sole currency of account and payment for all sums payable under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, including with respect to indemnities. Any amount received or recovered in a currency other than the applicable currency (whether as a result of, or in the enforcement of, a judgment, decree or order of a court of any jurisdiction, in the winding-up or dissolution of the Company or otherwise) by any Beneficiary in respect of any sum expressed to be due to it under the Transaction Documents shall only constitute a discharge by the Company of the applicable obligation to the extent of the amount of the applicable currency that such Beneficiary evidences that it is able to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in such other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable for such Beneficiary to make such purchase on such date, on the first date on which it is practicable for such Beneficiary to do so). If such amount of the applicable currency is less than the amount payable to such Beneficiary, then the Company shall indemnify such Beneficiary against any loss sustained by it as a result. In any event, the Company shall indemnify such Beneficiary against the cost of making any such purchase. For the purposes of this indemnity, it shall be sufficient for such Beneficiary to certify in a reasonable manner (indicating the sources of information used) that it would have suffered a loss had an actual purchase of the applicable currency been made with the amount so received in such other currency on the date of receipt or recovery (or, if a purchase of the applicable currency on such date had not been practicable for such Beneficiary, on the first date on which it would have been practicable for such Beneficiary, it being required that the need for a change of date be certified in the manner mentioned above). Promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) after its receipt of such a certification, the Company shall pay the indicated amount ( plus any applicable Additional Amounts) to such Beneficiary in the location requested by such Beneficiary in such certification. These indemnities shall constitute a separate and independent obligation from the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the applicable payee and shall continue in full force and effect despite any other judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any sum due under the Transaction Documents.

 

(c)          In the event that any restrictions or prohibition of access to the Argentine foreign exchange market exists, the Company will seek to pay all amounts payable under the Notes either (i) by purchasing at market price securities of any series of U.S. dollar denominated Argentine sovereign bonds or any other securities or private or public bonds issued in Argentina, and transferring and selling such instruments outside Argentina, to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (ii) by means of any other reasonable means permitted by law in Argentina, in each case, on such payment date. All costs and taxes payable in connection with the procedures referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be borne by the Company. The Company agrees that, notwithstanding any restriction or prohibition on access to the foreign exchange market ( Mercado Único y Libre de Cambios ) in Argentina, any and all payments to be made under the Notes and the Indenture shall be made in U.S. dollars. Nothing in the Notes and the Indenture shall impair any of the rights of the holders of the Notes or the Indenture Trustee or justify the Company in refusing to make payments under the Notes and the Indenture in U.S. dollars for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any of the following: (i) the purchase of U.S. dollars in Argentina by any means becoming more onerous or burdensome for the Company than as of the date hereof and (ii) the exchange rate in force in Argentina increasing significantly from that in effect as of the date hereof. The Company waives the right to invoke any defense of payment impossibility (including any defense under Section 1091 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code), impossibility of paying in U.S. dollars (assuming liability for any force majeure or act of God), or similar defenses or principles (including, without limitation, equity or sharing of efforts principles).

 

  - 119 -  

 

 

(d)          In addition, the Company acknowledges that Section 765 of the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code is not applicable with respect to any payments to be performed in connection with the Notes and forever and irrevocably waives any right that might assist it to allege that any payments in connection with the Notes could be payable in any currency other than in U.S. dollars, and therefore waives and renounces to applicability thereof to any payments in connection with the Notes. This Section 10.1 shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

 

Section 10.2        Absolute Obligations . This Indenture and the Notes shall not terminate, nor shall the obligations of the parties hereto or thereto be otherwise affected, by reason of: (a) the invalidity or unenforceability of any other Transaction Document or any other agreement entered into in connection therewith, (b) any action or inaction by the Company or any other Person other than the Indenture Trustee to the extent taken by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the other provisions hereof, (c) the occurrence of a Default or any default by any party under any Transaction Document or other document delivered in connection therewith, (d) except to the extent required by Applicable Law, any insolvency of or any bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceeding affecting the Company or any other Person or any action that may be taken by any receiver, trustee or liquidator (or other similar official) or by any court in connection therewith, or (e) any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, it being the intention and agreement of the parties hereto, and the basis of the bargain, that all payment and performance obligations of the parties under this Indenture and any Note shall (except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law) continue to apply in all events in the manner and at the times herein or therein provided unless and until such obligations shall have been discharged pursuant to the express provisions of the Transaction Documents. Nothing in this Section shall preclude any separate, independent claim that any Person may have for the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking or agreement made under the Transaction Documents.

 

Section 10.3        Successors and Assigns . This Indenture shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) and assigns. The Company agrees that it shall not assign, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights hereunder or assign or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, and the Argentine Collateral Trustee (including on behalf of the Trust) agrees that (other than in connection with a pledge of its rights hereunder to the Indenture Trustee hereunder) it shall not assign, pledge or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights hereunder or assign or (except to the extent permitted by Section 6.2 ) delegate any of its obligations hereunder, without: (a) the prior written consent of the Controlling Party and (b) the receipt by the Indenture Trustee from each Rating Agency of written confirmation that such assignment, transfer or delegation shall not result in such Rating Agency withdrawing or reducing its rating on the Notes below the lower of the Notes’ then-current rating and initial rating from such Rating Agency; it being understood that any attempt to do so shall be null and void ab initio.

 

Section 10.4        Third-Party Beneficiaries . The parties hereto hereby agree that each applicable Beneficiary shall have the rights of a third-party beneficiary of the provisions hereof with respect to its rights hereunder and, except as provided otherwise herein, may enforce such provisions as if such Person were a party hereto.

 

  - 120 -  

 

 

Section 10.5        Governing Law . THIS INDENTURE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW); PROVIDED THAT ALL MATTERS RELATING TO (A) THE DUE AUTHORIZATION, EXECUTION, ISSUANCE AND DELIVERY OF THE NOTES, (B) THE CNV’S AUTHORIZATION OF THE PUBLIC OFFERING OF THE NOTES IN ARGENTINA, (C) THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS REQUIRED FOR THE NOTES TO QUALIFY AS NON- CONVERTIBLE NEGOTIABLE OBLIGATIONS ( OBLIGACIONES NEGOCIABLES SIMPLES NO CONVERTIBLES EN ACCIONES ), AND (D) CERTAIN MATTERS RELATING TO THE VALIDITY OF MEETINGS OF NOTEHOLDERS IN ARGENTINA, WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE NEGOTIABLE OBLIGATIONS LAW, THE ARGENTINE CORPORATIONS LAW, THE CNV RULES AND OTHER APPLICABLE ARGENTINE LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

 

Section 10.6        No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies . No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Person, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided herein and in the Notes are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Applicable Law.

 

Section 10.7        Modification of Indenture . All modifications, consents, amendments or waivers of any provision of this Indenture shall be effective only if the same shall be in writing among the parties hereto and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 

Section 10.8        Severability . Any provision of this Indenture or any Note that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby (with respect to the Argentine Collateral Trustee, including on behalf of the Trust) irrevocably and unconditionally submits (and each Beneficiary (by its acquisition of a Note or a beneficial interest therein or otherwise accepting the benefits of this Indenture and the other applicable Transaction Documents) shall be deemed to irrevocably and unconditionally submit) to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of: (i) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or of any New York State court (in either case, sitting in Manhattan, New York City) and (ii) solely with respect to itself, the courts of its own corporate domicile, in each case with all applicable courts of appeal therefrom (all the above such courts, the “ Submitted-to Courts ”), with respect to actions brought against it, for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents and/or the transactions contemplated thereby; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to limit the ability of any party to such Transaction Documents to bring suit against any other party to the Transaction Documents in any other permissible jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives (and each Beneficiary (by its acquisition of a Note or a beneficial interest therein or otherwise accepting the benefits of this Indenture and the other applicable Transaction Documents) shall be deemed to irrevocably and unconditionally waive), to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a Submitted-to Court, any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and any objection based upon place of residence or domicile.

 

(b)          The Company irrevocably appoints National Corporate Research, with offices at the Issuance Date at 10 East, 40 th Street, 10 th Floor, New York, New York 10016, as its authorized agent on which any and all legal process may be served with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding brought in New York.

As an alternative method of service, each of the Company and the Argentine Collateral Trustee (including on behalf of the Trust) also irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing or delivering of copies of such process in the manner provided in Section 10.9 . If for any reason such agent ceases to be available to act as such (including by reason of the failure of such agent to maintain an office in New York City), then (as applicable) each of the Company and the Argentine Collateral Trustee (including on behalf of the Trust) shall promptly designate a new agent in New York City, on the terms and for the purposes of this Section. Nothing contained in the Transaction Documents shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Indenture Trustee or any other Beneficiary to serve any such legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or to obtain jurisdiction over the Company or the Argentine Collateral Trustee (including on behalf of the Trust) or bring actions, suits or proceedings against it in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by Applicable Law.

 

(c)          If for any reason the Indenture Trustee shall not maintain an office in New York City, then the Indenture Trustee shall promptly designate a process agent in New York City on terms similar to those set forth in Section 10.13(b) . Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Company or any other Person to serve any such legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or to obtain jurisdiction over the Indenture Trustee or bring actions, suits or proceedings against it in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as may be permitted by Applicable Law.
