Letter regarding the change of Auditor

Letter regarding the change of Auditor

As previously announced on 3 December 2015, during 2015, the Board of Balfour Beatty plc ("the Company") completed a competitive tender process for the appointment of an external auditor, as a result of which KPMG LLP was appointed as the Company's auditor for the year ending 31 December 2016. Deloitte LLP will consequently not be seeking re-appointment as auditor and, as required by section 519(3) of the Companies Act 2006, has deposited with the Company a statement of the circumstances connected with its loss of office ("the Statement").

Pursuant to Section 520(2) of the Companies Act 2006, a letter containing the Statement has today been sent to the Company's shareholders for information only. The letter has been submitted to the UK Listing Authority ("the UKLA"), and will shortly be available for inspection at the UKLA's Document Viewing Facility, via the National Storage Mechanism, which is located at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
