NCC enters into new agreement to acquire Destia's asphalt operation

Last week, the Finnish Market Court approved NCC's acquisition of

Destia's asphalt operation subject to certain conditions. NCC has now

analyzed the conditions and choose not to complete the agreement by

March 2011 but instead use a new agreement with Destia, since it had

become clear that the Market Court's conditions were partly not under

NCC's control. The new agreement will be examined by the Finnish

Competition Authority, which is expected to complete its inquiry before

year-end.

It was in March 2011 that NCC signed an agreement to acquire the asphalt

and paving operations of the Finnish company Destia. Subsequently, the

agreement became subject to review by the Finnish Competition Authority,

which announced in early August that it opposed the merger and requested

that the matter be tried in the Market Court. Last week, the Finnish

Market Court approved the acquisition subject to certain conditions.

NCC has now analyzed the Market Court's conditions and chooses not to

complete the agreement by March 2011 but instead use a new agreement

with Destia since it had become clear that the conditions for the

business transaction were partly not under NCC's control. The new

agreement will now be examined by the Finnish Competition Authority,

which is expected to complete its inquiry before year-end.

The new agreement encompasses Destia's entire asphalt and paving

operations, with the exception of asphalt operations in the Helsinki

area.

NCC has previously communicated information concerning the agreement

with Destia on March 24, August 5 and November 2.
