We refer to the news published today in various media, through which it is indicated that Graña y Montero S.A.A. (the "Company") has filed a request for arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes ("ICSID").

In this regard, we ratify the points indicated in the previous paragraph. In effect, after having finished the direct negotiation procedure1, the Company presented a request for arbitration to make effective the collection of the debt maintained by the Peruvian Government in favor of Gasoducto Sur Peruano S.A. ("GSP")2 for the net book value of the assets of the concession of the project "Improvements to the Energy Security of the Country and Development of the Southern Peruvian Gas Pipeline"3.

It should be noted that, to date, the Company has not filed any lawsuit regarding this matter. As a matter of fact, the Company may file the corresponding arbitral lawsuit after the ICSID accepts and registers the request to initiate arbitration and the respective arbitral tribunal is installed.

The Company is committed to inform the market in a timely manner when our request for arbitration is accepted or denied and we formally initiate the arbitration indicated above.

Sincerely yours,


Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
