NCC's acquisition of Destia's asphalt operations approved by the Finnish
Competition Authority

Today, the Finnish Competition Authority approved NCC's acquisition of
Destia's asphalt operations without reservation.

In March 2011, NCC signed an agreement to acquire the asphalt and paving
operations of the Finnish company Destia. Subsequently, the agreement
became subject to review by the Finnish Competition Authority, which
announced in early August that it opposed the merger and requested that
the matter be tried in the Finnish Market Court.

The Market Court later approved the acquisition subject to certain
conditions. Accordingly, NCC opted not to complete the agreement signed
in March and instead decided to enter into a new agreement with Destia.

The new agreement, which comprises all of Destia's asphalt and paving
operations with the exception of an asphalt works in the Helsinki area,
has now been approved by the Finnish Competition Authority.

Sales in 2010 for the now acquired business are estimated at
approximately SEK 375 million and the company has about 80 employees who
will be transferred to NCC Roads.

Takeover of the operations is expected to occur in December and both
parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase consideration.

NCC previously published information regarding its agreement with Destia
on March 24, August 5, November 2 and November 10.
