RELEVANT INFORMATION

 

In relation to the incident that occurred on January 15, 2018 on the Chirajara bridge located at Km. 64 of the Bogotá-Villavicencio highway, Grupo Aval Acciones y Valores S.A. ("Grupo Aval") informs that at this moment, in addition to giving priority to the attention of those affected, it is evaluating all the financial implications that this event could have on Coninvial S.A.S. (constructor consortium in charge of the road), Concesionaria Vial de los Andes - Coviandes S.A. (concessionaire awarded with the construction of the highway), Corficolombiana S.A., direct and indirect shareholder in 60% of both companies, and on Grupo Aval, parent company of Corficolombiana.

 

The preliminary evaluation indicates that the insurance policies contracted by Gisaico S.A., subcontractor in charge of the construction of the bridge, would be sufficient to cover all the costs associated with this accident.

 

Finally, Coviandes S.A. is in talks with the National Infrastructure Agency (“ANI”) in order to define the next steps that would allow continuity of the project as soon as possible.
