The four new investors who entered at the end of 2024 in OHLA, headed by the vice president, businessman José Elías, president of Audax Renewables and owner of the siren, have resigned this Thursday of the Board of Directors of the construction company, just a month after completing the capital expansion of 150 million to try to restore the patrimonial situation of the group.
Sources of the sector confirm to Europa Press these resignations, which arrive after the company has denounced one of them, Antonio Almansa, for negotiating with their market shares by selling 5 million titles with privileged information regarding the negative outcome of an award in Kuwait that occurred last week.
The four entered at the same time, with a participation of around 18%, through a corporate group called Excelsior Times: José Elías, along with Key Wolf, Sociedad de José Eulalio Poza-Funder de MásMóvil-but represented in the Council by Maricarmen Vicario; The Nimo, Matrix of the Inveready Group (Josep Maria Echarri); and Coenersol, a promoter of solar parks (Antonio Almansa).
Therefore, given the complaint and disagreements in the Council with the main shareholders, the Mexican brothers Amodio (21.6%), the new investors have decided to present their resignation to the position of counselors.
With the capital extensions that gave entry to all, the Mexican Luis Andrés Holzer (9%) also entered, independently to that group of entrepreneurs and on behalf of the Coapa Larca real estate company, which will continue as a counselor.
Faced with the accusations of Almansa, the new investors had focused on the judicial causes in Mexico that drags Ohla’s CEO, Tomás Ruiz, a trusted person of the amodio.
However, the company has already defended at the time of its appointment that Ruiz is not in a situation of conflict of interest or presents any other incompatibility or cause of prohibition for the exercise of the position of advisor to the company.
According to ‘El Confidencial’, the amodio have also taken advantage of the purification in the Board of Directors to say goodbye to the financial director, José María Sagardoy, for alleged accusations of ‘Black’ cards, and they would have proposed the appointment of Víctor Pastor, an executive who had previously worked in FCC, Abengoa and Duro Felguera.
With all these changes, the company has suffered this Thursday in the stock market and its titles have fallen by 12.3%, to 0.37 euros per share, being the most punished value of the continuous market. Since last week, he accumulates a 28%drop, first by the award in Kuwait and then due to the disagreements in the Council. Its capitalization has been reduced to 443 million.
