1. The investment does not serve the purpose of strategic goals, but rather the generation of trading profits.
2. We may intend to acquire further voting rights in Bilfinger SE by share purchase or other means in the next 12 months.
3. We always seek a representation in the supervisory board of the company corresponding to the significance of our shareholding. We do not intend to change the composition of the management board.
4. We do not seek a significant change in the capital structure of Bilfinger SE, in particular neither of the ratio between equity and debt financing nor of the dividend policy.
5. Cevian Capital Partners Limited and Cevian Capital II Master Fund L.P. have exceeded the threshold of 25 % of the voting rights in Bilfinger SE due to the cancellation of the company's treasury shares. Thus, neither own funds nor debt funds have been used to exceed the threshold of 25 % of the voting rights in Bilfinger SE.

Yours sincerely,

Cevian Capital Partners Limited
