AENZA S.A.A. Informs Change of Ratio of its American Depositary Shares

AENZA S.A.A. (the “Company”) hereby informs that it plans to change the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to its common shares (the “ADS Ratio”) from the current ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to five (5) common shares, to a new ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to fifteen (15) common shares (the “ADS Ratio Change”). The Company anticipates that the ADS Ratio Change will be effective on or about November 22, 2022.

For the Company’s ADS holders, the ADS Ratio Change will have the same effect as a one-for-three reverse share split. Effective as of November 22, 2022, ADS holders will be required to surrender and exchange every three (3) existing ADSs then held for one (1) new ADS. The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Depositary”), as the depositary bank for the Company’s ADSs program, will arrange for the exchange of current ADSs for new ADSs. The Company’s ADSs will continue to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “AENZ”.

No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the ADS Ratio Change. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the Depositary and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the Depositary. The ADS Ratio Change will have no impact on the Company’s underlying common shares, and no common shares will be issued or cancelled in connection with the ADS Ratio Change.

As a result of the ADS Ratio Change, the Company’s ADS trading price is expected to increase proportionally; however, there can be no assurance that the ADS trading price after the ADS Ratio Change will be equal to or greater than three (3) times the ADS trading price before the change.
