May 27, 2026. Colliers (NASDAQ, TSX: CIGI), a global leader in professional services and investment management, announced today it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Ayesa Engineering, following receipt of the relevant regulatory approvals.

Colliers is a Canadian multinational listed on both the Nasdaq and the Toronto Stock Exchange. The transaction significantly strengthens its engineering division, further establishing it as a leading global player. Specializing in engineering design and project management services, Colliers Engineering will now operate across 23 countries with over 11,000 professionals, while reinforcing its capabilities in transportation and infrastructure, water and environmental services, buildings, and energy.

For its part, Ayesa Engineering has confirmed that its headquarters will remain in Seville, the city where the group was founded, further reinforcing its commitment to the development of highly qualified employment and economic activity in the region.

The company’s leadership team will remain in place and will hold equity stakes in the business, in line with Colliers’ partnership model.

Rosalío Alonso, previously the group’s Chief Operating Officer, will lead this new chapter as Chief Executive Officer of Ayesa Engineering. Alongside him, several senior executives will also become part of Colliers’ partnership structure.

“Ayesa is a highly strategic acquisition that meaningfully expands the global scale of our engineering business, strengthens the resilience of our earnings, and underscores the power of our partnership model,” said Jay Hennick, Global Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Colliers. “Our ability to partner with exceptional operators and align them for long-term growth differentiates Colliers. More than 700 of our operators are partners in our engineering business, creating strong alignment, reinforcing our entrepreneurial culture, and driving long-term value creation. Looking ahead, we see significant opportunity to accelerate global growth within our engineering business, both organically and through acquisitions.”

“This acquisition strengthens our ability to serve clients in attractive, high-growth markets across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and South Asia, while broadening our technical capabilities on a global scale,” said Elias Mulamoottil, Chief Investment Officer and CEO of Engineering at Colliers. “That expertise is reflected in Ayesa’s complex, high-profile projects such as the design and project oversight of the transformation of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, the design of hundreds of desalination and water distribution facilities across Saudi Arabia, and the design and project oversight of several metro lines globally including the Bogotá Metro in Colombia.”

“Partnering with Colliers creates an exceptional opportunity for our professionals to become significant stakeholders in the business, reinforcing long-term stability and our focus on delivering the best outcomes for clients,” said Rosalío Alonso, Chief Executive Officer of Ayesa Engineering. “It also gives us the ability to leverage Colliers’ significant engineering operations in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, while benefiting from its more than 30-year track record of scaling global businesses and creating long-term value for all stakeholders.”

In connection with the transaction, Alantra acted as financial advisor and Uría Menéndez acted as legal advisor to Colliers. Baird and Arcano Partners acted as financial advisors and Pérez-Llorca and Weil, Gotshal & Manges acted as legal advisors to Ayesa Group and its owners, A&M Capital Europe and the Manzanares family.
