CLOUGH INDEPENDENT EXPERT CONCLUDES SCHEME IS IN BEST INTERESTS OF
CLOUGH SHAREHOLDERS; COURT APPROVED SCHEME BOOKLET REGISTERED WITH
THE AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT COMMISSION

Shareholders are referred to the announcements released on the Stock Exchange News
Service of the JSE Limited (“SENS”) on Tuesday, 30 July 2013, Thursday, 29 August 2013 and
Monday, 7 October 2013, with regards to the proposal by Murray & Roberts to acquire all of the
ordinary shares in Clough Limited (“Clough”) that Murray & Roberts does not already own
(“Proposed Acquisition”).

Murray and Roberts is pleased to advise that the independent expert, Grant Samuel &
Associates Pty Limited, has concluded that the scheme of arrangement between Clough and its
shareholders (the “Scheme”) is in the best interests of Clough shareholders, in the absence of a
superior proposal. Shareholders are further advised that the Federal Court of Australia has
approved the release of the booklet relating to the Scheme (“Scheme Booklet”) and the
convening of a meeting of Clough shareholders to consider and vote on the Scheme. The
Scheme Booklet has been registered with the Australian Securities and Investment
Commission.

This is an important milestone of the Proposed Acquisition which remains on track to be
implemented on or about 11 December 2013, subject to the fulfilment or waiver of certain
conditions precedent including Clough shareholder approval and Murray & Roberts shareholder
approval, as previously advised. The Proposed Acquisition is anticipated to be considered by
Murray & Roberts shareholders at the general meeting to be held on 6 November 2013 and by
Clough shareholders at the shareholder meetings to be held on 15 November 2013.

The full announcements released by Clough, including a copy of the Scheme Booklet to be sent
to Clough shareholders which contains the independent expert’s report, are available for
download at www.asx.com.au/asx/statistics/announcements.do or the Clough website at
