Carillion plc secures new corporate borrowing facilities of £590million

Support services and construction company, Carillion plc, has completed a refinancing of its corporate borrowing facilities, which have been increased by £261 million from £329 million to £590 million. These facilities will support the medium-term growth strategy of the Group.

These new facilities, launched at £500 million, were oversubscribed and secured on attractive terms and replace the syndicated loan taken out in February 2006 to support financing of the acquisition of Mowlem plc. Syndication of the new five-year facilities has been led by four core banks; The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, Bank of Scotland, Bayerische Landesbank (London Branch) and Lloyds TSB Bank

plc.

Commenting, Carillion's Group Finance Director, Richard Adam, said: "We are pleased to have negotiated new facilities over the last few months, particularly in the current challenging conditions of the global debt markets. This demonstrates the banking community's strong support for, and confidence in, the Carillion Group and we look forward to working with our core banks to build on

the strong relationships we have with them."
