Balfour Beatty
Following recent press speculation, Balfour Beatty confirms that it is in advanced discussions regarding a significant and complementary acquisition which would materially accelerate the fulfilment of its existing strategy.
If the acquisition proceeds, it is expected that it would be substantially funded by a rights issue.
However, there can be no certainty that either the acquisition or associated rights issue will proceed.
A further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.
