"Boskalis is a company that traditionally values the welfare of its employees. It would be unacceptable for us to leave our new colleagues and SMIT pensioners out in the cold, in our centenary year in which we will be reporting a record profit. I think that this proposal offers a fine solution which will enable us to leave the past behind us. We prefer to look ahead with this wonderful maritime company we form together." This deposit has no impact on the 2010 full-year profit forecast of at least 290 million
announced earlier today. This is an English translation of the Dutch press release. In the event of any disparity between the Dutch original and this translation, the Dutch text will prevail.
