"The Offer" stated Pietro Salini, the CEO, "will increase Salini Impregilo's free float on the Italian stock exchange and improve the liquidity of its shares and will consequently increase the Company's visibility in the financial market and heavy civil engineering construction industry. In addition, the proceeds from the capital increase will provide additional strength to Salini Impregilo's capital structure and augment the Group's flexibility in pursuing its already announced 2014-2017 Business Plan.”

The placement, handled by Goldman Sachs International, Mediobanca and Banca IMI as Joint Global Coordinators and Bookrunners, BNP Paribas, Equita, Natixis, Unicredit Corporate and Investment Banking as Joint Bookrunners, and Intermonte as Co-Manager, was aimed, through a bookbuilding process, exclusively at qualified investors in Italy and institutional investors abroad, excluding any jurisdiction in which the offering of shares is prohibited in accordance with applicable law.

The transaction will be settled through the delivery of the shares and payment of the consideration on June, 25 2014.

Following the completion of the above-mentioned transaction, Salini Impregilo’s free float amounts to 40.03% of the ordinary share capital and Salini Costruttori's holding in the share capital of Salini Impregilo is 59.97% of the ordinary share capital.

In the context of the transaction, Salini Costruttori and Salini Impregilo have entered into lock-up commitments respectively for 180 and 360 days in line with market practice in similar transactions.
