Company Information
02.11.2007
D i e t l i k o n, 2 November 2007 - The Board of Directors of 
Implenia AG is aware of the preliminary notification published this 
morning of a public offer to acquire the entire share capital of 
Implenia AG. Its position on this matter is as follows:
The price offered to shareholders of CHF 33.23 per share is 
significantly lower than the market price prior to the publication of
the acquisition offer, and it does not reflect the current value nor 
the potential of the company in any way. The Board of Directors 
believes that this is not a serious offer and designed to allow Laxey
to increase its shareholding without having to submit an adequate 
offer to the shareholders. This behavior is consistent with Laxey´s 
strategy so far. Laxey has built up its stake in Implenia in apparent
breach of the relevant stock exchange regulations and has tried 
several times to force the Board to register the shares it has 
secretly acquired.
The Board of Directors therefore regards the takeover offer as unfair
and rejects it as not being in the interests of the shareholders or 
the company. The Board also continues to refuse to register the 
shares held by Laxey beyond the stake of 4.9% that is already 
registered. This is because it believes that, based on the relevant 
legislation (Lex Koller), registering the additional shares would 
destroy value that has been created and threaten or impede Implenia´s
further development. This is particularly the case since Laxey has 
never been transparent about its intentions with regard to Implenia.
The Board of Directors will review the validity of Laxey´s offer and 
make a formal response within the legally required deadline. It 
recommends that in the meantime Implenia´s shareholders do not accept
Laxey´s offer and do not sell their shares.
