Quantum leap for Implenia
Joint venture established with Russian Land,
Russia´s premier property development business

D i e t l i k o n, 30 November 2007. Implenia, the market-leading
Swiss construction services group, has entered into a partnership
with Russian property developer "Russian Land" to form a joint
venture called "Russian Land Implenia" (RLI). The new joint ven¬ture,
which is controlled equally by the two partners, will take over the
planning, engineering, execution and subsequent management of all
Russian Land´s development and construction projects. Russian Land is
Russia´s premier real estate development and services company, with
projects in prime locations in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other
regional centers around Russia. There are currently 16 large real
estate projects in Russian Land´s multi-billion dollar project
pipeline, such as the redevelopment of the former Hotel Rossia site,
adjacent to the Kremlin. Russian Land is majority owned by Russian
entrepreneur Chalva Tchigirinsky. He has been working successfully
in the Russian property business since 1989, and is now bringing his
real estate projects together under Russian Land. At the operational
level, Russian Land is managed by its Swiss CEO Urs Häner.

The two partners bring their own particular strengths to the new
joint venture "Russian Land Implenia": Russian Land has the high-end
projects and access to the market, while

Invitation to a media and analysts' conference today, Friday, 30
November, 10.30 a.m. at the Hotel Savoy in Zurich At today´s media
conference, the Chairman of Implenia´s Board of Directors Anton
Affentranger, Implenia´s CEO Christian Bubb, Member of Implenia Group
Management Peter Bodmer, and the CEO of Russian Land Urs Häner will
provide more details of the joint venture.

Implenia has the skills to plan and implement complex projects to the
highest standards. Peter Bodmer, a member of Implenia´s Group
Management, is assuming operational management of RLI. Initially he
will concentrate on project management for the develop¬ment and
realization of all Russian Land projects. In a later phase the RLI
business model also envisages handling major infrastructure projects.
Implenia plans to further expand its international operations and
believes that in five years´ time its international activities will
be contributing substantially to Implenia´s EBIT.

The two partners are also entering into a longer-term partnership
beyond the joint ven¬ture. Russian Land is becoming a shareholder in
Implenia by purchasing from Implenia a 2,71 percent capital stake,
500,000 shares, for a price of CHF 39 per share. In addition, the two
companies are nominating a representative to sit on each other´s
Boards of Directors.

Pronounced growth market

"The joint venture 'Russian Land Implenia´ offers us a unique
opportunity to use our exten¬sive know-how in a very rapidly
expanding market with minimum investment and correspondingly
manageable risk. This will deliver strong growth and sustainable
value," says the Chair¬man of Implenia´s Board of Directors Anton
Affentranger. RLI marks the first logical and deter¬mined step in the
implementation of Implenia´s internationalization strategy. Thanks to
the joint venture, Russia is set to become an attractive second home
market for Implenia. In terms of supplying high quality residential
and commercial property, not to mention shopping centers, hotels and
entertainment complexes, and modernizing the country´s
infrastructure, there is a great deal of catch-up demand in Russia.
"Jones Lang Lasalle estimates that invest¬ment in commercial real
estate in Russia last year totaled US$4.2bn and expects it to reach
US$6.5bn this year," says Russian Land´s CEO Urs Häner.

In addition to the huge redevelopment on the Hotel Rossia site in the
center of Moscow - which will include a new hotel, residential and
retail space as well as two concert halls, a major museum and a
library - Russian Land is planning further major projects like the
Russia Tower in Moscow, Europe´s tallest building at over 600m, and
the Norman Foster-designed New Holland project in St. Petersburg,
which includes a Festival Palace. It is also planning regional
projects in major cen¬ters such as Kaliningrad and Irkutsk. Russian
Land currently owns 16 development projects and is in final
negotiations for another 10 projects in Moscow, St. Petersburg and
the rest of Russia.

Attractive margins, great growth potential and manageable risks

According to the joint venture agreement concluded by the partners,
RLI will take over project management of all Russian Land´s projects
at market margins. Russian Land and Implenia both intend to build up
the joint venture substantially in the years to come in order to
benefit from their complementary abilities and the immense
opportunities offered by the Russian market. Alongside pure process
and project management, RLI plans to enter the construction business
which offers attractive margins in Russia in the near to medium term,
as well as the mainte¬nance and service business. These areas will
increase value creation still further. Implenia´s aim is to harness
this high-margin, high-growth business, together with its other
planned interna¬tional operations, to raise its consolidated EBIT
margin to 6% by 2012 and thus to generate through its international
activities a significant portion of group EBIT. "Thanks to the
structure chosen for the joint venture with Russian Land, the risks
are manageable," says member of Implenia Group Management and RLI´s
CEO Peter Bodmer. "At the same time the market po¬tential and the
benefits for our shareholders and other stakeholders are very
promising indeed."

Good corporate governance

Owing to the strategic importance of the joint venture, the two
partners have agreed a series of governance guidelines. Implenia´s
Board of Directors has decided to propose that Russian Land´s CEO Urs
Häner be nominated to the Board at the next AGM. Conversely, the
Chairman of Implenia´s Board of Directors Anton Affentranger will be
nominated to the Board of Directors of Russian Land. In addition,
Russian Land is purchasing a stake of 2,71 percent, 500,000 shares,
in Implenia´s equity capital for a price of CHF 39 per share while
undertaking to respect the existing voting right restrictions set out
in Article 7 para. 4 b of Implenia´s articles of associa¬tion.
Russian Land regards itself as a long-term investor in Implenia, but
it does not intend to buy the company, so it has undertaken not to
make any takeover offer within the next five years. "We welcome
Russian Land as a strategic investor in our company. Our close
coop¬eration is in the best interests of Implenia and its
stakeholders, and will help greatly to increase shareholder value,"
says Anton Affentranger.
