Each concessionaire is required to make minimum investments at each airport under the terms of its MDP. The Company’s investment plans under the MDP must be updated every five years starting from 2000 and approved by the SCT. During December 2014, the SCT authorized the Company’s MDP update for the five-year period from 2015 to 2019.

The concessionaire will use the airport facilities only for the purposes specified in the concession, will provide services in conformity with the law and applicable regulations, and will be subject to inspections by the SCT.

The SCT may modify concession terms and conditions that regulate the Company’s operations in accordance to the General Law on Airports.

Sangster International Airport (MBJ)

As disclosed in Note 1.a, the Company acquired DCA in 2015, which holds a 74.5% stake in MBJA in 2015, located in Montego Bay, Jamaica. MBJA has a concession to operate, maintain and operate the airport for a period of 30 years as of April 12, 2003.

The concession of MBJ contains the following terms and conditions:

•

On April 2003, MBJ entered into a concession agreement with AAJ pursuant to which AAJ granted MBJA the right to rehabilitate, develop, operate and maintain MBJ. MBJA is thereby designated as the approved airport operator and permitted to undertake the functions of AAJ, relative to SIA. The agreement was amended on December 16, 2005 and further amended on April 12, 2006.

•

The concession agreement requires MBJA to provide the airport services set out therein at MBJ.

•

Through its concession agreement, MBJA is obliged to pay AAJ a monthly concession fee on the basis of traffic units (passengers) multiplied by the rate established in the concession. The rate is subject to annual adjustment according to the National Consumer Price Index in the United States (CPI). MBJA is also required to pay an additional concession fee equal to 45% of any revenues earned in excess of the forecast revenues established in the Concession Agreement. This additional concession fee is over the period from April to March of each year, with payment required annually. For the years ended of December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017 the Company recognized USD$10.6 million, USD$20.1 million and USD$25.5 million, respectively, corresponding to this fee.

•

The concession agreement is governed by Jamaican laws and MBJA cannot assign its rights or obligations under the agreement (except by way of security for indebtedness, without the prior written consent of AAJ).

•

AAJ can terminate the concession agreement in an event of default of MBJA including insolvency of MBJA or its shareholders (if the latter would have a material adverse effect on MBJA), cessation of business, material breach by MBJA of the concession agreement including non-payment of any amount due within 60 days after the due date, change of control, bribery or corruption or failure by the shareholders to provide equity funding required by applicable documents. Also, MBJA may terminate the concession agreement in the event of a material breach by AAJ which has a material adverse effect on the business of MBJ or expropriation or other material adverse action by the Jamaican Government.
