RE: CGI2'S TAKEOVER BID FOR UGL LIMITED - ASIC RELIEF GRANTED CGI2's takeover bid for UGL Limited - Offer extends to shares issued on vesting of UGL Performance Rights and UGL Rights

Section 9.1(b) of the Bidder's Statement for CIMIC Group Investments No.2 Pty Limited's (CGI2) takeover bid for UGL Limited provides that, subject to CGI2 obtaining any necessary relief from the Corporations Act, CGI2's offer extends to UGL shares that are issued during the period from 11 October 2016 (Register Date) to the end of the offer period due to the vesting of, conversion of or exercise of rights attached to, UGL Performance Rights and UGL Rights that are on issue as at the Register Date (Rights).1

CGI2 confirms that the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has granted the necessary relief. The effect of the relief is to confirm that CGI2's offer extends to shares that are issued during the period from the Register Date to the end of the offer period due to the vesting of, conversion of or exercise of rights attached to, Rights that are on issue as at the Register Date.

If UGL issues shares as a result of the vesting of Rights on or after the Register Date and before the end of the offer period, CGI2 may not regard the issue of such shares on the vesting of Rights as non‐fulfilment of the defeating condition in section 9.8(a)(i)(D) of its Bidder's Statement. This complies with the ASIC instrument attached.

A copy of the ASIC relief instrument is attached to this announcement.

Sincerely,

CIMIC GROUP LIMITED T +61 2 9925 6666 F +61 2 9925 6000
