New boost at the Environment Division’s activity in the U.S. The Environment area bolstered its business presence in the Nor - th American country by adding the contract for the collection of solid urban waste from Omaha, Nebras - ka, over the next ten years for an amount of 255 million dollars. FCC will provide the service with a fleet of 69 trucks powered by compres - sed natural gas. The contract in - cludes a possible extension for an additional period of 10 years. In ad - dition, last August, the County of Vo - lusia, in Florida, approved the award of the contract for the collection of urban solid waste, for a term of se - ven and a half years and a portfolio of 87 million dollars. This fifth con - tract awarded in Florida, along with those in Orlando (Orange County) as well as Lakeland (Polk County), strengthens FCC’s presence in the U.S. The total volume of FCC’s por - tfolio in the country, where it already has ten other contracts in Texas, ex - ceeded 1 billion euros at year-end and serves more than eight million citizens.

In addition, the company was awar - ded the contract for the operation and maintenance of the sewerage system in the capital of Abu Dhabi, as well as in the adjacent islands, for 40 million euros. On the other hand, the sanitation contract for the city of Al Ain was extended for seven years, for an amount of more than 60 million euros. The total value of the contracts Aqualia manages in the Arabian Peninsu - la (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and Oman) exceeds 600 million euros. These projects, mostly mid- and long-term contracts, reflect the growing success and acceptance of models of partnerships between public and private institutions to promote the development and ope - ration of essential infrastructure in the region, with a total population of six million. The Environment area completes its reorganization and is wins the World Smart City Award Environment area completed its cor - porate and financial optimization in the last quarter. On the one hand, the process of subsidising and re - organising holdings was completed with a new parent company that brings together all the area’s activity within its different jurisdictions, FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente Holding. In addition, last November the new parent company of the area issued two long-term green bonds in the GBE of the Irish Stock Exchange (ISE) for a combined amount of 1.1 billion euros. Both issues were rated investment grade and viewed favou - rably on their application to sustai - nable and climate change mitigating assets. In addition, in November 2019, FCC Medio Ambiente won the World Smart City awards in the “Innovative Idea” category for its highly ener - gy-efficient e-mobility platform. The award-winning project is a 100% electric modular chassis-platform for urban service vehicles develo - ped by FCC Medio Ambiente and the Irizar Group, and which receives a subsidy from European funds. The strategic goal of this platform is the implementation of affordable elec - tric mobility in urban services with environmental benefits, such as the reduction of pollutant emissions, noise, carbon footprint and the maximization of energy efficiency. 2019 highlights F C C G R O U P 6 F C C G R O U P
