Company Information/Government Contracts

Hong Kong (euro adhoc) - In September BAUER Hong Kong Ltd., the local
subsidiary of BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH, was contracted to execute
part of the extensive foundation works for the Hong Kong-Zuhai-Macau
bridge.

The mega-project is divided into two segments: one on the Chinese
side, the other on Hong Kong territory. BAUER Hong Kong Ltd. will be
carrying out roughly half of the foundation works over the first 9.4
kilometres through Hong Kong. The contract is worth some EUR 65
million. Work is scheduled to start in January 2013, and last until
mid-2014.

On the project, most of which involves working offshore, Bauer will
be deploying four BG 40 drilling rigs. The foundation piles, in
diameters of up to 2.5 metres, will have to be sunk into the sea bed
down to depths of 90 metres working from several drilling platforms.

Professor Thomas Bauer, Chairman of the Management Board of BAUER AG,
comments: "This highly challenging foundation contract is the largest
offshore project in the company's history. The Far East, and in
particular Hong Kong, is a key market for us. We have had a local
presence for years based on our specialist foundation engineering
know-how, which is highly respected in the region."

The 30 kilometre long Hong Kong-Zuhai-Macau bridge will connect the
seven million people of Hong Kong with the smaller cities of Zuhai
and Macau. It is intended to boost tourism, and above all improve
supply lines to the region. The bridge will cut travel times from
Hong Kong to Zuhai or Macau from three hours to just half an hour.
