AECOM Announces Proposed Offering of Common Stock and Filing of Universal Shelf Registration Statement
LOS ANGELES (March 3, 2009) — AECOM Technology Corporation (NYSE: ACM), a provider of professional technical and management support services for government and commercial clients around the world, announced today that, in conjunction with the decision by Standard & Poor’s to include AECOM in the S&P MidCap 400 Index after the market close on March 3, 2009, it intends to offer 3.5 million shares of its common stock in a registered public offering.
The company intends to use the proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes and future strategic acquisitions. Morgan Stanley is the sole book-running manager and Merrill Lynch & Co. and J.P.Morgan are co-managers for this offering.
The company also announced that it filed today a universal shelf registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The terms of any future offerings would be established at the time of the offering.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make an offer, solicitation or sale in such jurisdiction.
