New movement in the shareholding of OHLA. The Tyrus Capital fund has become the second largest shareholder of the infrastructure group by taking a 7.09% stake in the company, of which The Villar Mir Group leaves, which in its day was the controlling shareholder of the company founded and then chaired by Juan Miguel Villar Mir.
According to the official records of the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), the Villar Mir Group, through Inmobiliaria Espacio, it has just 0.001% OHLA. For his part, Tyrus entered 2015 for the first time in what was then called OHL on the occasion of the expansion carried out by the company for 1,000 million. His decision to go through this operation came after the Villar Mir Group announced the sale to the Monaco-based fund of pre-emptive subscription rights for the acquisition of about 25 million of the new shares that were to be issued. Following this movement, the fund then declared a stake of 8.37%.

One year later, in November 2016, the Villar Mir Group renewed the agreement signed with Tyrus and in June 2017 it bought the fund’s shares in the group. Subsequently, in 2018 the Villar Mir Group closed the process of refinancing its debt with a consortium led by Tyrus, which allowed the business holding company to have funds amounting to 323 million euros. In 2021, after completing the recapitalization plan and after undertaking a capital injection into the group, the Mexican Amodio brothers became the main shareholders of the group, which they renamed OHLA, with 25.9% of the capital.
Once this debt refinancing plan is closed, The Villar Mir Group saw its stake reduced from 14.6% to 7.09% of the company, in which until the arrival of the Amodio family they were the reference shareholders. In addition, the Monegasque fund Tyrus Capital raised a 2.35% stake in OHL, after its contribution of 5 million euros in the capital increase.
With this new move, the Villar Mir Group says goodbye to OHLA de facto. In an interview with EFE in 2021, the president of the company, Luis Amodio, pointed out that the relationship with the Villar Mir Group was cordial and that he had not explored the possible purchase of the percentage that the businessman still held in the company.
