Bilfinger Berger Global Infrastructure SICAV S.A. (ticker "BBGI") is pleased to announce that it has signed contracts for the acquisition of further equity interests in two PFI/PPP projects from Graham Investment Projects Limited for an aggregate cash consideration of approximately £2.5 million. The interests are a further 16.66% stake in East Down Colleges and a further 50% stake in Lisburn Colleges, both in Northern Ireland. The acquisition brings BBGI's stake in East Down Colleges and Lisburn Colleges to 66.66% and 100% respectively.

The acquisition is conditional on, inter alia, third party consents and is expected to be completed by August 2012. The projects are both operational and are supported by contracted, public sector-backed revenue streams, with inflation-protection characteristics.
