Vienna, 18 October 2007 - Immediately following the close  of  the  
subscription period for institutional  investors,  the  offering  
price  for  the  shares  of STRABAG SE being tendered under the IPO 
was fixed at EUR 47 per  share.  At  the beginning of the issue, the 
price  range  had  been  fixed  between  EUR 42  and EUR 48.  The  
strong  demand  in  Austria  as  well   as   among   international 
institutional investors led to an approx. tenfold subscription of  
the  offering volume of 28,200,001 shares. 19,000,000 shares came 
from a capital increase  and 9,200,001 shares from the holdings  of  
the  previous  shareholders.  Given  the offering  price,  the   
market   capitalisation   of   STRABAG SE   amounts   to EUR 5.358 
bn. The IPO proceeds for the company amount to EUR 893m.
For the first time demand from over 100,000 private investors during 
an  IPO  in Austria Demand for the shares was particularly high among
private shareholders. In  all, around one hundred thousand Austrians 
subscribed for  the  STRABAG SE  shares  - representing the greatest 
number of shareholders ever achieved during an IPO  in Austria. A 
total of more than 26 per cent of the issue was placed  with  private
Austrian investors,  additional  15  per  cent  was  placed  with  
institutional Austrian. The largest portion of  the  share  placement
was  distributed  among international institutional investors with a 
focus  on  Europe.  For  the  first time during the initial public 
offering of  an  Austrian  company,  shares  were also specifically  
marketed  towards  institutional  investors  in  Russia.  The 
preferential allotment will be 70 shares.
STRABAG-CEO Hans Peter Haselsteiner: "With EUR 47 we want to set a 
signal for  a future stable and fair relationship with our new 
shareholders. We did  not  make use of the whole price range 
intentionally."
