ARCADIS LAUNCHES EQUITY OFFERING
Equity offering of up to 7,555,362 new ordinary shares
Net proceeds to be used to partially finance the acquisition of Hyder Consulting PLC

The Board of ARCADIS N.V. ("ARCADIS" or the "Company") announces the launch of an equity offering of up to 7,555,362 new ordinary shares (the "New Shares"), which represents less than 10 percent of the issued share capital of ARCADIS (the "Equity Offering"). The New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares.

The New Shares will be offered, on a non-pre-emptive basis, to qualified investors in the European Economic Area ("EEA") and to qualified institutional buyers in the United States in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities Act"), by way of an accelerated bookbuild offering (the "ABB").

The net proceeds from the Equity Offering will be used to partially finance ARCADIS' acquisition of Hyder Consulting PLC, in line with ARCADIS' earlier announcements that it is considering options to refinance the bridge facility that was arranged for the Hyder Consulting PLC acquisition by way of debt and / or equity instruments in due course.

The books for the Equity Offering will open with immediate effect and may close at any time.

The issue price and the exact number of New Shares to be placed under the ABB will be determined based on the outcome of the bookbuilding process and will be announced in a subsequent press release. Settlement of the Equity Offering and the admission of the New Shares to listing and trading on Euronext in Amsterdam are expected to take place on 6 November 2014.

There will be a 90-day lock-up period for ARCADIS on issuances or sales of shares and securities that give the holder the right to acquire shares.

BNP Paribas, HSBC and ING are acting as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners for the Equity Offering.
