The Buy-Back Programme will be executed under the following terms:
- Purpose: the treasury shares acquired under this Programme will be delivered to:
- The Company’s Executives Directors and managers and employees of the Ferrovial group who are beneficiaries of the third cycle of the III Performance-based Share Target-linked Plan for financial years 2016 to 2018, approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting held on 29 October 2015 (relevant event with registration number 234,716) and by the General Shareholders’ Meeting held on 4 May 2016 for the Companys’s Executive Directors (relevant event with registration number 238,182).

- Maximum net investment: 25 million euros. In no case may the number of shares to be acquired under the Buy-back Programme exceed 1 million shares, representing 0.34% approximately of the share capital of Ferrovial as of the date thereof.
- Price and volume conditions: the own shares will be purchased in accordance with the conditions of price and volume established in article 3 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052.

- Duration: the Buy-back Programme will start on 26 February 2021 and will remain in force until 8 March 2021 (both days included).
