Von der nachfolgend genannten Gesellschaft wurde uns am 24. März 2014 gemäß § 27a Abs. 1 WpHG Folgendes mitgeteilt:

Dear Sirs,

We, Major Assets, S.L., Avenida de Pío XII, 102, 28036 Madrid, Spain, a 100% subsidiary of ACS, Actividades de Construcción y Servicios, S.A., refer to our voting rights notification pursuant to section 21 para. 1 WpHG dated 24 March 2014 regarding our holding exceeding the threshold of 20% of the voting rights in HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft on 19 March 2014 and notify you pursuant to section 27a para. 1 WpHG as follows:
1. The investment in HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft serves the implementation of strategic objectives.

2. Our parent company, ACS, Actividades de Construcción y Servicios, S.A., intends to acquire, directly or indirectly, additional voting rights in HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft within the next twelve months. This may also imply the acquisition of further voting rights in HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft by Major Assets S.L. within the next twelve months.
3. We currently do not aim at influencing the composition of administrative, management or supervisory bodies of HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft. However, we point out that one member of the supervisory board of HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft holds office as legal representative of the sole administrator of Major Assets, S.L. and that he, in his capacity as member of the supervisory board of HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft, would be, inter alia, involved in the appointment and revocation from office of members of the management board of HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft which may become necessary. In addition, our parent company ACS, Actividades de Construcción y Servicios, S.A., intends to exercise its voting rights in the general meeting of HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft to have a number of its directors, representatives, employees and appointees in the supervisory board of HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft as it considers appropriate and may - as in the past - support the appointment of new management board members of HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft which have or have held positions or other affiliations with ACS, Actividades de Construcción y Servicios, S.A. and its affiliates.
4. We do not seek a significant change in the capital structure of HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft, in particular not in respect of the ratio of equity financing and debt financing and the dividend policy.
5. Major Assets, S.L., has exceeded the threshold of 20% of the voting rights in HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft merely due to a cancellation of treasury shares previously held by HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft. Therefore, no funds were used by Major Assets, S.L.to acquire shares in HOCHTIEF Aktiengesellschaft in this context.

Yours sincerely
Major Assets, S.L.
