Shareholder information

The Annual review 2008 includes a summary of information contained in the Directors’ report and accounts 2008. The aim is to provide shareholders with information in a clear and concise manner. For this reason, the Annual review 2008 does not contain all the information to allow for a full understanding of the results of the Company and the Group and their state of affairs. For further information, the full Annual report and accounts 2008, comprising the Annual review 2008 and the Directors’ report and accounts 2008 (containing the Financial review, the Directors’ report, the Directors’ remuneration report, the financial statements and the independent auditors’ report, which is unqualified), should be consulted. A copy of the Directors’ report and accounts 2008 may be obtained, free of charge, by writing to Capita Registrars at the address on the inside back cover. Shareholders contacting the Registrars should quote their full name and address in correspondence. The Directors’ report and accounts 2008 is also available on the Group’s website at www.balfourbeatty.com

Dividends and dividend reinvestment plan

If you wish dividends to be paid directly into your bank or building society account, through the Bankers Automated Clearing System (BACS), you should contact the Registrars for a dividend mandate form.

Balfour Beatty has a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) which allows ordinary shareholders to reinvest their cash dividends in the Company's shares bought in the market through a specially arranged share dealing service. Full details of the DRIP and its charges, together with mandate forms, can be accessed at www.balfourbeatty-shares.com

Shareholder information on the internet and electronic communications

The Balfour Beatty website at www.balfourbeatty.com offers shareholders and prospective investors a range of information about the Company, its people and businesses and its policies on corporate governance and corporate responsibility. It should be regarded as your first point of reference for information on any of these matters.

In conjunction with Capita Registrars, you can create a Share Portal account, through which you are able to access the full range of online shareholder services, including the ability to:

view your holdings and indicative share price and valuation;
view movements on your holdings and your dividend payment history;
register a dividend mandate to have your dividends paid directly into your bank account;
change your registered address;
sign-up to receive e-communications or access the online proxy voting facility;
download and print shareholder forms.

The Share Portal is easy to use. Please visit www.balfourbeatty-shares.com. Alternatively, you can email: shareportal@capita.co.uk

Balfour Beatty actively supports Climate Care, a not-for-profit organisation that funds global sustainable energy and forest restoration projects that reduce greenhouse gases. Climate Care's projects also help to improve people's standard of living and to protect wildlife habitats. For more information on Climate Care, visit www.climatecare.org

In support of the Climate Care programme, Balfour Beatty will donate £1 to Climate Care for every shareholder that registers to receive shareholder communications electronically.

Gifting shares to your family or to charity

To transfer shares to another member of your family as a gift, please ask the Registrars for a Balfour Beatty gift transfer form. Alternatively, if you only have a small number of shares whose value makes it uneconomic to sell them, you may wish to consider donating them to the share donation charity ShareGift (registered charity no. 1052686), whose work Balfour Beatty supports.

Any shares that you donate to ShareGift will be aggregated, sold when possible, and the proceeds will be donated to a wide range of other UK charities. Since ShareGift was launched, over £13m has been given to more than 1,500 charities. The relevant share transfer form may be accessed at www.balfourbeatty-shares.com. For more information on ShareGift, visit www.ShareGift.org
