PRESS RELEASE

TUGRO

Leidschendam, the Netherlands, 10 May 2006

News from Fugro's Shareholders meeting

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held today Mr K.S. Wester – CEO of Fugro – indicated that the first quarter turned out to be very strong and that, setting aside unforeseen circumstances, both profit and turnover will exceed last year's record. The order book as at the start of the year, remains at a high level. By now, the number of employees has increased to more than 9,000, despite a world wide shortage for technical personnel and qualified specialists.

On 23 June Fugro will report on the developments of the first half year.

On 11 August the half year figures will be announced and a forecast for the full year 2006 will be given.

At the Shareholders meeting the dividend for 2005 was set at EUR 0.60 per (certificate of) common share. The dividend will either be paid fully in cash or fully in shares, at the choice of the shareholder.
