Since there has been publicity in the Russian press about a contract between Russian Kurskaya stroitelnaya companiya and FLSmidth, FLSmidth will like to clarify that a binding contract has not been signed. When and if the contract becomes binding, we will immediately inform the market hereof. FLSmidth are continuously negotiating several potential contracts on the global market. For these to be considered binding, signed contracts and among other things down payment and guarantees are required. ------------------------------------- Please address any questions regarding this announcement to Group Chief Executive Officer Jørgen Huno Rasmussen, FLSmidth & Co.
