August 17, 2016 024 Conconcreto Joins the Market Makers Program Bogotá, Colombia, August 17, 2016 – From today, the infrastructure and building construction company, Constructora Conconcreto, is part of the Colombian Securities Exchange's Market Makers Program. This program aims to provide the best opportunities to investors, with greater trading and a reduction in the spread (difference between buy and sell prices), which particularly benefit individual investors. The stock brokerage firm Credicorp Capital will be the market maker of the construction company's stock, which since May 2016, is part of the main stock market index in Colombia, COLCAP. It also has IR Recognition, which the BVC has awarded annually since 2013 to acknowledge issuers committed to best practices for information disclosure and investor relations. “Conconcreto is part of the group of companies that find an excellent financing alternative and a partner to grow and strengthen their companies in the capital market and also lead the country's mega infrastructure projects. By participating in this initiative, it also shows that it is an issuer that recognizes the importance for countries to develop the capital market,” states BVC CEO, Juan Pablo Córdoba. According to the BVC, with the acquisition of Conconcreto stock, there are now six shareholdings listed under this category (BVC, EEB, ETB, Tecnoglass and ETF, ICOLCAP) where a stock brokerage firm commits to provide points of sale and purchase for financial instruments in order to increase the liquidity and expansion of the market. The Exchange highlighted the program's success, pointing out recent cases such as that of ETB, for which the average spread between 2014 and July 2015 oscillated between 1.71% and 2.36%, and from July 2015 (when it entered the contract with the market maker) until July 2016, it amounted to 0.76%. EEB presented an average spread between 1.18% in 2014 and 1.24% in 2015, and after the stock was incorporated into the program, it dropped to 0.58%. “With this BVC initiative in partnership with Credicorp, we aim to improve the stock's liquidity, gain more investors, and attract more foreign and institutional investors that see Conconcreto as a company to invest in. Now we are part of COLCAP and we have made important announcements, which demonstrate that Conconcreto is a good investment mechanism for those who want exposure throughout the expansion of local and international infrastructure in which the construction company works,” pointed out Juan Luis Aristizábal, Conconcreto CEO.
