Prospectus and, if given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorised by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Managers (as defined in "SUBSCRIPTION, SALE AND OFFER OF

Recent Events
As part of its strategy announced on 28 February 2013, the
HOCHTIEF Group sold its facility management and energy
management activities in the HOCHTIEF Europe division, the Streif
Project Service segment of Streif Baulogistik GmbH, as well as the
airport business and its participation in aurelis. Under its new
