Final decision concerning Finnish competition case

Final decision concerning Finnish competition case

The Supreme Administrative Court of Finland has announced its decision
concerning competition-curtailing collusion in the Finnish asphalt sector. The
court increased the fine for the seven companies involved, including Skanska, to
EUR 82.5 million or about SEK 840 million, of which Skanska's share amounts to
EUR 4.5 million or about SEK 45 million.

Approximately SEK 32 million will be charged against Skanska's earnings for the
third quarter. According to the decision of the Finnish Market Court in December
2007, Skanska was ordered to pay an administrative fee of about SEK 13 million,
which has already been expensed. The new ruling cannot be appealed.

The ruling is related to competition-curtailing activities conducted within
Skanska Asfaltti Oy during the 1990s.

Skanska is opposed to all forms of unethical actions. Since 2002, when Skanska
adopted a global Code of Conduct, thousands of employees and all new recruits
have received training in Skanska's Code of Conduct.
