- The Company's claims relate to amounts owed for work that was actually performed. FCC has presented a claim for the amounts due to it, in accordance with the applicable legislation.

- FCC, the Citizen Services Group, is cooperating and will cooperate fully with the justice authorities, as it always does, to assist in clarifying the events. To that end, it will provide all the documentation in its possession to accredit its actions.

- FCC does not countenance any illegal conduct within its organisation and its internal regulations include the optimal tools for fostering integrity: Code of Ethics, Whistleblower Channel, Response Committee, etc. The Group communicates these values to the entire organisation on a permanent basis.

- The "Acuamed case" confirms the importance of acting every time in strict compliance with applicable legislation and the values contained in our Code of Ethics. Any deviation in this area will be severely punished.

- FCC's claims against Acuamed refer mainly to two contracts:

1) Chemical decontamination of the Flix reservoir (Tarragona). This contract dates from 2008 and the work was practically complete in 2015. Final settlement is pending.

2) Bajo Almanzora desalination plant (Almeria). This contract dates from 2006. Construction was completed and the plant came into service on 1 August 2012. The plant subsequently sustained severe damage from floods.

Final settlement of the construction contract and reconstruction of the plant after the flood damage are pending.

There is no connection between this project and the Flix reservoir project.

- FCC will claim payment of these debts before the appropriate authorities.
