Investment decisions

Notice for U.S. shareholders

This Bidder's Statement does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in the United States. The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (U.S. Securities Act) or the securities laws of any state or other

jurisdiction of the United States. Accordingly, such securities may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, to any person in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This Bidder's Statement may not be forwarded, distributed or reproduced in whole or in part in any jurisdiction where it would be unlawful, including the United States.

It is important for U.S. shareholders to be aware that the transaction is subject to takeover and disclosure laws and regulations in Australia that are different from those in the United States. Certain of the U.S. federal securities laws applicable to tender offers will not apply to the transaction and you may not have the same rights or protections applicable to equivalent transactions conducted in the United States. It may be difficult for you to enforce

your rights and any claim you may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws, since Downer and Downer Services are located in Australia, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of Australia.
