    corto plazo en ‘AA-(col)’ con Perspectiva Estable y ‘F1+(col)’, respectivamente.
    Asimismo, las calificaciones de las emisiones de sus bonos ordinarios por

    “Nos complace recibir estas afirmaciones que se convierten en un sello de confianza

    adaptación y, nos motivan a continuar aportando a la competitividad del país” afirmó

    De acuerdo con el informe de Fitch Ratings las calificaciones consideran la amplia
    experiencia de Odinsa en el desarrollo de proyectos de infraestructura dentro y fuera
    de Colombia; su enfoque en concesiones de largo plazo y, en especial, el
    robusteciendo su estructura de capital, con la efectiva ejecución de la estrategia de
    optimización en varias de sus concesiones.
    Adicionalmente, la agencia destacó como factores clave para la calificación: la
    presencia de Grupo Argos como accionista controlador, su portafolio de concesiones
    balanceado con participación en proyectos en distintas fases de madurez, su flujo de
    caja prospectivo positivo y su capacidad de gestionar su estructura de capital pese a
    los impactos generados por la pandemia.

    Sobre las calificaciones

    La calificación AA-, otorgada a Odinsa, es una calificación crediticia nacional de largo plazo.
    Pertenece a la primera categoría, en la que se encuentran las emisiones de deuda con mayor
    certeza sobre su capacidad de pago, es decir, emisiones muy atractivas para los
    inversionistas, quienes ven en la opinión de Fitch un importante referente para la toma de
    decisiones.
    F1(Col) es una calificación crediticia nacional de corto plazo. Indica la más fuerte capacidad de
    pago oportuno de los compromisos financieros en relación a otros emisores u obligaciones en
    el mismo país. En la escala de Calificación Nacional de Fitch, esta calificación es asignada al
    más bajo riesgo de incumplimiento respecto a otros en el mismo país. Cuando el perfil de
    liquidez es particularmente fuerte, un “+” es añadido a la calificación asignada.
