PRESS NOTE

MILAN, October 11, 2019 - Lane, a U.S. subsidiary of Salini Impregilo, has completed the sale of its unit, Power & Energy Solutions (LPES) to private investment firm Keystone Capital, Inc.

It is also expanding its traditional business of road and highway construction in states such as Virginia, Florida, North Caroline and California. Recent contracts include the I-10 Corridor Express Lanes in California, the 1-440/US 1 in North Carolina and a section of the Wekiva Parkway in Florida.

In the water sector, the Group recently won a $255-million contract to build a water storage tunnel to help reduce polluted overflows into the Lake Washington Ship Canal in the state of Washington.

In Texas, Lane and Salini Impregilo are conducting the early works on a project to build a high-speed railway in Texas, the first in the country. The civil infrastructure work is valued at $14 billion out of the project's estimated $20 billion.
