holding in Malta Airport
Flughafen Wien AG hereby announces the signing of a share purchase
agreement to acquire SNC-Lavalin Group Inc.'s indirect stake in
SNC-Lavalin (Malta) Limited ("SNCL Malta"), subject to the fulfilling
of certain closing conditions by both parties. SNCL Malta has a

Limited. Flughafen Wien AG also provides operating management for
Malta Airport and directly holds a further 10.1% of the shares in

Airport equalled in 32.94%.
