Litwin is pleased to announce that it has been awarded an EPC contract for the
construction of five new natural gas compressor stations by GRTgaz, the French main company in
gas transportation for a total value of €220m. Litwin will lead a consortium. The other consortium members are Cegelec and Friedlander.

The reconstruction of the GRTgaz stations is part of a wider programme of
compressor station optimisation and network adaptation. The work is expected to
commence shortly and will take place between 2007 and 2009. GRTgaz plans a
second phase from 2008-2012.
The OSCAR program will allow the merger of GRTgaz’ balancing zones reducing them from 4 to 2.

The five natural gas compression stations are:

• Nozay, in Loire-Atlantique, a turbocompressor station
• Dierrey, in the Aube, a turbocompressor station
• Evry Gregy, in Seine-et-Marne, an electrocompressor station
• Auvers, in the Sarthe, an electrocompressor station
• Courthezon, in the Vaucluse, an electrocompressor station

Max Abitbol, Chief Executive Officer of Litwin SA said:

"This is a strategically important contract win for Litwin, as we aim to build
our partnership with GRTgaz and its shareholder Gaz de France by combining its long experience and
expertise in gas treatment with Gaz de France's expected future growth."
