Bilfinger Berger intends to reduce its construction business with an output
volume of approximately EUR6 billion in 2008 to a level of around EUR2
billion in the mid-term. In this regard, the Group is exploring the
potential initial public offering of its activities in Australia. In the
current year, Bilfinger Berger Australia will achieve an output volume of
around EUR2.6 billion.

Construction will remain a core future activity of Bilfinger Berger.
Synergies with other segments in the Group, including Concessions, will
continue to be utilized. Any additional funds generated by the potential
offering will be used to expand the Group's Services segment. This shift in
focus to services leads to an improved risk profile and greater
profitability.
