**John Laing Group** (LON: JLG), the international active investor and partner behind
responsible infrastructure, has announced that further to its announcement on 20th
August 2019 regarding the agreed acquisition of 30% of the Ruta del Cacao road project
in Colombia, all relevant approvals have now been obtained and the acquisition completed
on 28th October 2019 for a total consideration of £62 million.

Separately, John Laing Group has invested £13 million for a 35% interest in the 
Hurontario Light Rail Transit PPP project in Canada, which recently reached financial

the two districts. The project builds on John Laing’s successful history of investment
and delivery of complex rail schemes, including the Denver Eagle commuter rail in
USA and Sydney Light Rail in Australia.
