Pricing of Senior Notes

Kier Group plc ("Kier" or the "Issuer"), a leading UK infrastructure services, construction and property group providing specialist design, build capabilities and project management, is pleased to announce the pricing of £250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.0% senior notes due 2029 (the "Notes") as part of a wider refinancing of the Issuer's existing committed debt facilities.

The Issuer intends to use the proceeds from the offering of the Notes to partially prepay certain elements of its existing credit facilities and private placement notes. The Notes will be general unsecured senior obligations of the Issuer and will be guaranteed on a senior basis by certain subsidiaries of the Issuer.

Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPS Regulation.
