Biberach (ots) - - Eiffage Énergie Systèmes becomes the new owner of the EQOS
Group, specialist in infrastructure services.

- Sustainable growth strategy will continue to be pursued throughout the group.

- EQOS brand and organization will be upheld.

Eiffage Énergie Systèmes acquired the EQOS Group from Triton on 23 April 2024,
marking a significant milestone for one of the leading providers of complex
infrastructure services in the energy, telecommunications, and rail sectors.
EQOS, which specialises in overhead line construction, energy, rail, and
communication technology, offers a comprehensive range of services covering the
entire value chain, from engineering and fitting to maintenance. Established in
1920, the company now employs approximately 1,700 staff across Germany, Austria,
Belgium, Luxembourg, and France.

With 79,300 employees, Eiffage is one of the leading construction and concession
companies in Europe. Based in France, the group generated EUR 21.8 billion in
revenue from its international markets in 2023. With this transaction, Eiffage
expands its regional access, particularly in Germany and Austria, EQOS's core
markets. EQOS's strong performance and entrepreneurial culture, which have been
pivotal in securing Eiffage Énergie Systèmes' confidence in the business, will
continue to form the foundation of the company's upcoming growth phase. The EQOS
brand will also continue under the new ownership across all business sectors.
The terms of the transaction, subject to approval by regulatory authorities,
have not been disclosed.

EQOS CEO Eric Mendel shares: "Together with Triton, we have developed and
executed a strategy that has transformed EQOS from adversity into a highly
profitable growth platform. Despite significant cost increases in recent years,
we have successfully maintained steady growth in sustainably attractive markets,
enhancing the value and appeal of the company. This impressive progress is fully
endorsed by EQOS's acquisition by Eiffage. Therefore, we can look back with
pride on this chapter of the company's history. I extend my thanks to all
involved - especially our employees - for their trust and excellent
collaboration."

New strategic partner supports next phase of growth

EQOS continues to stand for Excellent Quality of Services. Under the new
strategic umbrella, the company, with its existing management team, will uphold
its commitment to delivering high-quality services for its customers'
infrastructure, maintaining its ambitious trajectory of both organic and
inorganic growth. The points of contact within EQOS will remain the same.

Ludovic Duplan, Chairman of Eiffage Énergie Systèmes, said: "EQOS will enable
Eiffage Énergie Systèmes to enter the market segment of the energy
infrastructure particularly in Germany and Austria. In those countries, the
acquisition will allow us to densify our network, and to cover all key energy
markets: infrastructure of course but also industry and tertiary, covering
public and private markets. EQOS will definitively contribute through its
know-how and strong market positions to further strengthen Eiffage Énergie
Systèmes position amongst top and sustainable players in European Energy Market.
In the name of Eiffage Énergie Systèmes, I am wishing all EQOS teams from all
over Germany, Austria, France, Belgium, and Luxembourg a warm welcome into
Eiffage Group."

EQOS currently holds a top-three market position in its business sectors. The
company has recently made significant strides towards digitisation and process
improvement. EQOS has successfully completed and integrated five acquisitions.
"Our strengths clearly lie in our highly qualified and motivated employees, to
whom we offer long-term security and perspective through the new owner. With
Eiffage, we have found a perfect entrepreneurial home for the future. My
management team and I are looking forward to managing the next successful
chapter of EQOS together," concludes Mendel.
