Aedas Homes creates a committee of independents to oversee Neinor's takeover bid.

The board of directors of Aedas Homes has agreed to create a committee composed exclusively of independent directors to monitor and supervise the voluntary Public Offer for Acquisition of Shares (OPA) launched by Neinor Homes on June 16 for an amount of €1.07 billion.

In a statement sent early this morning to the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), Aedas Homes emphasized that the new committee will be chaired by the chairman of the board of directors, Santiago Fernández Valbuena , who will assume the presidency of this specific body.

Along with Fernández Valbuena, the committee will include Milagros Méndez Ureña , chair of the Appointments and Compensation Committee; Javier Lapastora Turpín, chair of the Audit and Control Committee; and Cristina Álvarez Álvarez, chair of the Technology, Innovation, and Cybersecurity Committee.

This body's main functions will be to monitor and evaluate the takeover bid process, ensuring the independence of both the process and the advice received.

Likewise, it will ensure adequate transparency of information related to the transaction and the best management of any potential conflicts of interest that may arise, Aedas explained.

The operation of this reduced-composition committee will allow for a "more agile and efficient" monitoring of the takeover bid process, which Castlelake , which holds 79% of Aedas' capital, has already agreed to accept.

The real estate developer has indicated that the creation of this committee does not affect the legal or statutory powers provided to the other governing bodies within the framework of the transaction.

Aedas Homes has proposed distributing a dividend of 3.15 euros per share starting July 9, according to the notice of the ordinary general shareholders' meeting, which will take place this Thursday, July 3, in Madrid.

Specifically, the fifth item on the agenda proposes the distribution of 2.58 euros for a total maximum amount of 111.5 million euros, charged to the income statement for its last fiscal year, which ended last March.

The sixth point concerns the approval of the distribution of an extraordinary dividend of 0.57 euros, charged to the share premium, which, along with the previous dividend, will be distributed starting July 9 of this year.

The shareholders' meeting will also propose the reelection of Milagros Méndez Ureña as an independent director for the statutory term of three years, as well as the appointment of EY as the company's auditor until the 2028-2029 financial year.
