At the Annual and Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting on April 16, 2008, 
chaired by Mr. Hervé Le Bouc, the shareholders of Colas SA approved all 
resolutions put to vote.

       Activity: Consolidated revenue for 2007 rose 8.9%, to 11.7 billion euros
, compared to 10.7 billion euros in 2006. The Group's share of net profit 
amounted to 474 million euros (396 million euros in 2006), a 19.7% increase 
that reflects sharp growth in business activity and good performance levels 
throughout the 1,400 profit centers worldwide, thanks to buoyant markets and 
favorable weather. Net profit for parent company Colas S.A. totaled 278.5 
million euros, compared to 232.5 million euros in 2006.

        Dividend: A net dividend of 8.50 euros per share - a 32.8% increase 
compared to the dividend distributed last year, will be paid out as of April 28
, 2008 to shareholders in cash or in shares. For shareholders who wish to be 
paid in shares, the issue price of new shares issued in payment of the dividend 
has been set at 206.29 euros. Shareholders have from April 28, 2008 to May 19, 
2008 included to make their choice known. After this date, the dividend will be 
paid out in cash only.

        Outlook: Business has gotten off to a satisfactory start in the first 
quarter. Work-on- hand at the end of March 2008 amounted to 7.27 billion euros, 
a 14% increase compared to the end of March 2007. Even if, in the first months 
of 2008, greater economic and financial uncertainties and the vagaries of the 
climate to which Colas' businesses are sensitive encourage a certain degree of 
caution, no indicator in any of the Group's activities at this stage suggests a 
forecast of reduced business. A first revenue target for 2008 has been set at 12
.5 billion euros.
