"The Board of Directors of the Company announces that on July 5 2014, at 16’00, at the Company's offices, Mr. Jenaro García Martin, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Board, has declared in the presence of different Board Members that the financial accounts of the Company for the last four years, at least, do not show a full and fair view of the Company’s situation, taking responsibility for this falsity.

The Board, as stated in the minutes of the meeting, signed by the Board Members attending the session (Mrs. Solsona Piera, Martínez Marugán and García (attending the meeting both on his own behalf and representing the Board Member Ms. Maté),has revoked all powers and delegations granted to the Chief Executive Officer and has accepted his resignation.

The Board, anticipating that the Company might not be in a position to face its ongoing debts when they become due, has agreed to file for a declaration of voluntary insolvency, without prejudice of other measure that it may adopt for the best protection of the Company’s interests, regarding which it will immediately inform the market as soon as it might  adopt them."
