Led by Lee Ann Dillon, the Ruta al Mar team included X’Ania Marie Saldana, Obediah Samuel, and Thenya Taiyanides, all of New York.
Last year, the Financial Industry Group (FIG) was also awarded Latin America Road Deal of the Year by IJGlobal in connection with its mandate to represent Citibank in Concesión Pacífico Tres, the first 4G Colombian public infrastructure financing project (worth COP1.3 billion). Reed Smith has worked with Citibank and Cititrust’s CTLA groups on a multitude of transactions. The financing of Ruta al Mar breaks new ground in Colombia as the first private initiative to obtain international financing under the 4G program. In 2016, the New York FIG team represented Citibank in the approximately US$800 million (debt and equity) financing for the Pacifico Tres toll road, which was also sponsored by Construcciones El Cóndor; and the approximately US$600 million (debt and equity) financing for the Costera toll road.
