STRABAG SE: Changes planned in composition of supervisory board

29 April 2010

Dr. Alfred Gusenbauer proposed as Chairman of the Supervisory Board
Mag. Kerstin Gelbmann proposed as new member of the supervisory board
Dr. Gerhard Gribkowsky and o.Univ.-Prof. DDr. Waldemar Jud to leave supervisory board

A number of changes are planned in the composition of the supervisory board of STRABAG SE. The terms of supervisory board members o.Univ-Prof. DDr. Waldemar Jud (chairman), Dr. Gerhard Gribkowsky, Dr. Gottfried Wanitschek and Ing. Siegfried Wolf end on 18 June 2010 and supervisory board elections are scheduled to take place during the Annual General Meeting on 18 June 2010.

The supervisory board of STRABAG SE will propose the re-election of Dr. Gottfried Wanitschek and Ing. Siegfried Wolf. o.Univ.-Prof. DDr. Waldemar Jud and Dr. Gerhard Gribkowsky will leave the supervisory board. In their place, the supervisory board will propose the election of Dr. Alfred Gusenbauer and Mag. Kerstin Gelbmann to the supervisory board. The supervisory board of STRABAG SE further proposes Dr. Alfred Gusenbauer as Chairman of the Supervisory Board in the event of this election to the board.

Dr. Alfred Gusenbauer has demonstrated his social and professional competence in politics – as President of the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) and as Federal Chancellor of the Republic of Austria –, as professor-at-large, lecturer and consultant and was recently a member of the supervisory board of a large European construction group. On the basis of the professional competence and trustworthiness shown by Dr. Gusenbauer throughout his career, and in light of his high esteem in the worlds of politics and business both nationally and internationally, the Supervisory Board is delighted that he is prepared to be a candidate for the election.

Dr. Gerhard Gribkowsky will assume his new duties as a member of the supervisory board of the German subsidiary Ed. Züblin AG, which requires his departure from the supervisory board of STRABAG SE. With its proposal of Mag. Kerstin Gelbmann, the supervisory board has nominated an outstanding professional from the corporate and financial consulting sector with years of management experience. Her nomination can be seen as a response to the call for more women in management.
