  • The swap ratio consists of one share of Cox ABG Group S.A. for every five shares of Cox Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. contributed to the swap.
  • The operation will involve a share swap aimed at specific shareholders, for those holding shares in both BIVA and BME Growth, exchanging Cox Energy shares for parent company shares to increase the group’s free float.
  • The swap was already outlined in the information booklet of the company’s share subscription offer, approved in November by the CNMV.
  • Cox Energy, founded in 2014 by Enrique Riquelme, began trading on BIVA in July 2020, becoming the first solar photovoltaic energy company to list on a Latin American stock exchange.

 

Madrid, April 9, 2025. The Board of Directors of Cox, a vertically integrated utility in water and energy, has agreed to initiate a share swap process targeted at specific shareholders of Cox Energy, which will continue to be listed on BIVA. This action is being carried out as outlined on page 151 of the information booklet for the company’s share subscription offer, registered in the Official Register of the CNMV on November 5, 2024, as amended by the supplement to the booklet approved and registered on November 12, 2024.

To execute the swap involved in this operation, the Board of Directors of Cox has decided that, at the forthcoming General Shareholders’ Meeting, a proposal will be made for a capital increase through a non-cash contribution of Cox Energy shares to the parent company, with a swap ratio of one share of Cox ABG Group S.A. for every five shares of Cox Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. contributed in the swap.

The Company notes that the operation is still under analysis, and it cannot guarantee that it will ultimately proceed or that the announced conditions will be maintained. At this stage, it does not plan to extend the operation to other shareholders of Cox Energy nor launch a public offer, although if it were to do so, it would treat all Cox Energy shareholders equitably.

Cox Energy was founded in 2014 by Enrique Riquelme, specializing in renewable energy generation, with a primary focus on solar photovoltaic technology. It began trading on the Bolsa Institucional de Valores (BIVA) in Mexico on July 8, 2020, becoming the first solar photovoltaic energy company to list on a Latin American stock exchange. Later, on July 3, 2023, the company began trading on BME Growth in Spain, achieving a dual listing on both markets.
