HEIJMANS : well positioned for a difficult year

In his New Year speech today, 11 January, Chairman of the Executive Board Rob
van Gelder noted his expectation that 2010 would be a difficult year: "Our
markets will not yet recover in 2010." The chairman indicated that Heijmans had
carefully plotted its course and that it had "cut its 2009 cloth to match its
2010 coat".
For 2010 he said Heijmans anticipated a year in which revenue would decline
further, operational results would nonetheless be positive, but modestly, and
the debt position could be reduced further.
In 2009 Heijmans cut 1,300 jobs, strengthened its capital structure by EUR100
million through a rights issue, and decided to adapt a strategy focusing mainly
on the Dutch market.

Heijmans also announced a number of proposed management changes.

The current Vice-chairman of the Executive Board, Mr Gerrit Witzel (58), will
succeed Mr Rob van Gelder (64) as Chairman from 28 April 2010. As agreed in
