On 14th December 2005 Carillion and Mowlem announced that they had reached
agreement on the revised final terms of a recommended cash and share acquisition
of Mowlem plc (the 'Acquisition').  It is proposed that the Acquisition will be
effected by means of a scheme of arrangement under section 425 of the Companies
Act 1985 (the 'Scheme').

Further to that announcement, Carillion and Mowlem announce that the
documentation in relation to the Acquisition will be posted today.   Mowlem
Shareholders will receive, amongst other documents, the Scheme Document
published by Mowlem in connection with the Scheme, together with an Information
Memorandum published by Carillion in connection with the New Carillion Shares
being offered pursuant to the Acquisition.  Carillion Shareholders will receive,
amongst other documents, the Carillion Shareholder Circular in relation to the
Acquisition, together with a copy of the Information Memorandum.

As set out in the documentation, a Carillion Extraordinary General Meeting will
be held to allow the Carillion Shareholders to vote on the resolutions required
to approve and implement the Acquisition, and two shareholder meetings, namely
the Court Meeting and the Mowlem Extraordinary General Meeting, will be held to
allow the Mowlem Shareholders to vote on the proposed resolutions required to
approve the Scheme and the Acquisition.  The key dates for these meetings are as

This announcement and the Acquisition are not an offer of securities for sale in

and no regulatory clearance in respect of the New Carillion Shares has been, or
will be, applied for in any jurisdiction other than the UK.   It is expected
that the New Carillion Shares will be issued in reliance upon the exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)
(10) thereof.  Under applicable US securities laws, Mowlem Shareholders who are
or will be deemed to be 'affiliates' of Mowlem or Carillion prior to, or of
Carillion after, the Effective Date will be subject to certain transfer
restrictions relating to the New Carillion Shares received in connection with

any securities laws of any province or territory of Canada nor has any
prospectus, information memorandum or other documents relating to the New
Carillion Shares been, or will be, lodged with, or registered by, the Australian
Securities Investments Commission or the Japanese Ministry of Finance and the
New Carillion Shares have not been, and nor will they be, registered under or
offered in compliance with applicable securities laws of any state, province,
territory or jurisdiction of Canada, Australia or Japan. Accordingly, unless an
exemption under relevant securities laws is applicable, the New Carillion Shares
may not be offered, sold, resold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in or
into Canada, Australia, Japan or any other jurisdiction where to do so would
constitute a violation of the relevant laws of, or require registration thereof
in, such jurisdiction or to, or for the account or benefit of, a person located
in Canada, Australia or Japan.
