Bilfinger Berger intends to sell up to 19 public-private partnership
projects

Bilfinger Berger intends to introduce a publicly-listed fund in which it
will place up to 19 public-private-partnership projects from its current
portfolio of 30 concession projects. The assets in the fund will be
predominantly operational and revenue generating. The Group has a total
equity commitment of EUR161 million in the 19 project companies.

Shares in the fund are intended to be listed in the premium segment of the
London Stock Exchange with a placement volume of up to £245 million (up to
EUR280 million). Shares in the fund will be offered for sale to
institutional investors at a pre-determined price. Bilfinger Berger will
commit to a strategic investment of at least 19.9 percent of the fund's
equity.

Publication of the prospectus for the fund is planned for October with a
listing to follow in November 2011. The sale of the projects to the fund is
expected to take effect in the first quarter of 2012 and will lead to net
proceeds of up to EUR270 million for Bilfinger Berger of which a minimum of
EUR55 million will be reinvested in the fund. The anticipated capital gain,
depending on exchange rate development and other factors, will be in the
magnitude of up to EUR50 million.
