Cuatrecasas advises on Amodio’s acquisition of OHL stake

Cuatrecasas has advised Tyrus Capital, the financial creditor of Villar Mir Group, on the financial and corporate aspects of designing, structuring and implementing the acquisition by Mexican industrial group Amodio of a 25-per cent stake in Spanish infrastructure company OHL from Villar Mir.

Amodio’s purchase, which turns the Mexican company into majority shareholders of OHL, totaled 50.4 million euros ($57.3 million), according to Spanish media reports.

The purchase of the stake gives Amodio, which is owned by Mexican brothers Luis Fernando and Julio Mauricio Martín Amodio, a place on OHL’s board of directors. 

Monaco-based Tyrus Capital manages assets for institutional investors globally, including banks, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, foundations and endowments.

Cuatrecasas partners Juan Antonio Aguayo (pictured), Héctor Bros and Adolfo Rovira, and associate Iñigo Várez advised on the transaction.
