Finmeccanica has been awarded a contract worth EUR 700 million to build the

new Copenhagen Metro

Finmeccanica, through its companies Ansaldo STS (STS.MI) and AnsaldoBreda has been awarded a
contract worth EUR 700 million to build the technological transport system of the Copenhagen’s new
metro, Cityringen.

A city circle line for an automated, driverless and entirely underground metro will be realized
employing a more advanced system compared to the one used previously in Denmark, and it will
cover 16 km in the centre of Copenhagen and include 17 stations. The metro will become operational
in 2018.

AnsaldoBreda will supply high technological trains whereas Ansaldo STS will provide planning and
construction of power systems, communications systems, SCADA, platform-edge doors, signalling
(CBTC), superstructure, carriages, depot and control centre; the bid also includes five years’ operation
and maintenance, with the option of a further three years.
