("Murray & Roberts" or "the Group")
GAUTRAIN PROJECT
Shareholders are advised that the capital cost estimate for the Gautrain project
announced by government recently represents a potential order book to the Group
of approximately R 4,5 billion at current pricing levels, over a minimum five-
year period commencing with full financial close of the 20-year concession
contract.
Various articles concerning the Gautrain Project have been published through the
media recently, alleging a moral contract between Gauteng Province and Bombela
that links completion of the Gautrain project to the 2010 World Cup. The Group
wishes to clarify that no such contract exists. Any agreement to contractually
link completion of Gautrain with 2010 World Cup will require advance agreement
of all parties concerned, including Murray & Roberts as a shareholder and
participant in Bombela.
