Abengoa Finance, S.A.U.

(the "Issuer")

Notice to the holders of the outstanding

USD 650,000,000 8.875 per cent. Senior Notes due 2017

(Regulation S ISIN: USE0002VAC84) (Rule 144A ISIN: US00289RAA05)

(the "Notes")

Notice is hereby given that the management of Abengoa, S.A., the parent guarantor of the Notes (the "Parent Guarantor"), is restating its unaudited interim financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

In accordance with advice of independent legal and accounting professionals, management of the Parent Guarantor prepared the aforementioned financial statements on the basis that certain solar plants located in Spain (pertaining to 650 MW in the aggregate, of which 150 MW are already in operation), which were registered in the pre-assignment register under Spanish RD 661/2007 in November 2009, met the requirements set out in IFRIC 12 to be considered as concession assets, and thus were recorded as such in its unaudited semi-annual financial information for June 30, 2010.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the management of the Parent Guarantor has agreed with the regulatory authorities of the Spanish stock market ("Comision Nacional del Mercado de Valores" or CNMV) to continue to study the implementation of IFRIC 12 in respect of the aforementioned solar plants and to postpone the application of IFRIC 12 to such plants, given that the CNMV has yet to assess which public utility assets in the solar sector in Spain operated pursuant the special electricity generation regime of RD 661/2007 should be considered as concession assets pursuant to IFRIC 12. This decision relates exclusively to solar plants in Spain registered in the pre-assignment register under RD 661/2007 and does not affect other projects in Spain or elsewhere.

As a consequence of the foregoing decision, the Parent Guarantor has restated its unaudited interim financial statements as of June 30, 2010 as follows (figures in thousands of euros):
