Abertis' Board of Directors appoints new directors
The Abertis’ Board of Directors has approved the appointments, by cooptation at the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, of Luis Fortuño and Enrico Letta as new independent directors of the company.
With these appointments, the company covers the vacancies occurred by the resignation of the proprietary directors representing OHL.
Luis Guillermo Fortuño Burset (San Juan, 1960) is a graduate in Law by the University of Virginia (USA). He was the 9th Governor of the Associated Free State of Puerto Rico from 2009 until 2012; former chairman of the Partido Nuevo Progresista (PNP); and is member of the Republican party of the United States of America.
Enrico Letta (Pisa, 1966) is a graduate in Political Science by the University of Pisa and PhD in EU law by the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Studi Universitari e di Perfezionamiento (SSSUP). He was Italy Prime Minister between 2013 and 2014, and Member of the European Parliament between 2004 and 2006, among other responsibilities.
With these new incorporations, the Abertis’ Board of Directors is now formed by 15 directors, eight of which are independent, more than the 50% of the total. Six directors representing significant shareholders and one executive complete the organ.
