FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Office Announcement:

Stratus launches infrastructure/P3 transaction management service in US

Stratus Infrastructure: P3 transaction and investment management services from courthouses to transportation

14th November 2014 London & Charlotte. Stratus Infrastructure, the PPP/P3 bid,
transaction and asset management specialist, launches in USA with the appointment of John
Small.

Stratus brings over 20 years experience of leading investments into P3 public-private

partnerships. Its executives have formulated and led P3 proposal teams, closing and

managing over $20bn of project financed infrastructure deals from schools and courthouses
to transportation schemes such as roads and mass transit rail systems. Use of P3s has been
widely adopted to deliver public building programs in other countries while historically,
state and municipal governments in the USA have tended to use municipal bond funding for
such projects. Over recent years, 34 states have passed P3 enabling legislation in order to
open-up future funding options. Also, P3 enabling legislation is now being seriously
considered in Congress for use by the GSA and VA.

John Small said Im delighted to be joining Stratus Infrastructure at this formative stage of
the US P3 market. There is great potential for the structuring, bidding and P3 process
expertise that Stratus will bring and Im very excited about our prospects in this market.

Bob Shekleton said I have known John for 15 years and am very much looking forward to
working with him again. His hands-on experience of working with major EPC contractors
such as Parsons will bring heavy-weight experience to Stratus Infrastructures US offering

Both John and Bob will be representing Stratus Infrastructure at the P3 for Public Buildings
conference in Miami on November 17-18.
