Four directors of OHLA, including the vice president of the construction company, José Elíasthey left their positions just before the meeting was held, convened for this Thursday. In addition to the departure of Audax and the siren, they also did the same José Eulalio Poza “Represented by Carmen Vicario,” Josep María Echarri and Antonio Almansa. They are the four counselors who entered block last December, and whose shares total 16.79% of the company.
The official reason for its march, expressed in the respective resignation letters, have to do with discrepancies with financial management and cash forecasts, with their opposition to the cessation of the financial director of the company – José María Sagardoy – and with the “the existence of deficiencies in internal research processes on possible irregularities and conflicts of interest”, according to the statement shared by Ohla before the CNMV.
These alleged “irregularities” to those who allude to have to do with Antonio Almansaone of the four councilors who resigned.
According to market sources consulted by this newspaper, as well as the subsequent communication of OHLA before the CNMV, Everything lies in the 8% drop in the company’s stock market after The reverse he suffered last weekwhen it was known that it must pay guarantees of 39.8 million euros for arbitration with respect to the construction of a road in Kuwait.
Between March 13 and 17, Antonio Almansa, owner of 1.01%, sold 5 million shares worth 0.51 euros through Coenersol, as reported on March 18 before the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV).
The dates, although they could be casual, are located a few days after the emission of the award with Kuwait, for which the actions of the construction company began to fall. Although on March 18 they were 0.54 euros, at the end of this Thursday they were 0.37 euros. Therefore, this operation, some 2.5 million euroscould have been carried out from privileged information, contravening the regulations of the stock market and traded companies.
It should also be noted that Almansa himself acquired these shares worth 0.25 euros.
According to the aforementioned sources, some members of the OHLA council raised on Thursday the complaint to the Audit and Prior Compliance Commission to the Council, with the objective Disitge Almansa himself. However, the succession of facts would not only have derived in the brand of Almansa, but also in that of the rest of minority advisors.
This event adds to the disagreements that have been happening within the Council in recent weeks. Precisely this Tuesday, the Spanish Association of Minority Shareholders of traded companies (AEMEC) sent a letter to the company’s president, Luis Amodio, to request the review of the company’s governance.
This letter was motivated by two reasons: the “irrationality after the designation as independent of Josep María Echarri Torres and Antonio Almansa Moreno as members of the Board of Directors, and the sale of packages of shares of the company by Almansa.
Besides, the company decided to dispense with José María SagardoyFinancial Director of Ohla, after gaining distrust between the amodio. It should be noted that the debate about Sagardoy motivated in recent days some of the most popular disputes between the Amyodio family and the counselors related to Elijah. Similarly, Elijah and his own defended the broadcast of convertible bonds, another disagreement.
