SALE OF DOWNER BLASTING SERVICES

Downer EDI Limited (Downer) announced today it had entered into an agreement to sell its blasting services business (Downer Blasting Services) to Enaex S.A.

The sale price represents an enterprise value of $62 million.

The Chief Executive Officer of Downer, Grant Fenn, said the sale of Downer Blasting Services was an important step in Downer's Urban Services strategy.

"The sale of Downer Blasting Services follows the sale of the Snowden consulting business and also our share in the RTL Mining and Earthworks joint venture," Mr Fenn said. "We are in active discussions with a number of interested parties in relation to the rest of the Mining portfolio."

Completion of the transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions, is expected to occur before the end of March 2021.

Authorised for release by Downer's Chief Executive Officer, Grant Fenn.
