•Portfolio review announced in August 2019
−Review concluded Downer should exit both Mining and Laundries to increase returns to shareholders and release invested capital
−In March 2020, Downer announced it was suspending the sale process for Mining due to volatile market conditions. Downer is currently exploring the potential
sale of the portfolio (in parts or as a whole) in response to recent enquiries from a number of interested parties. At this stage there is no certainty that any
transaction will proceed
−The Laundries business is performing well with hospital volumes returning. The sale process has been paused and will resume wheninvestment market
conditions improve
•FY20 performance
−Mining earnings were above FY19 despite the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on operations, state border closures and operations in South Africa closing due
to COVID-19
−Laundry volumes were also impacted materially from the restrictions on elective surgery resulting in a reduction in EBITA forFY20. With those restrictions now
relaxed, the business is performing well with volumes returning, improved yield as hospitals use more supplied consumables and the benefit from efficiency
improvements implemented during the year

Positive outlook for core businesses

Downer expects earnings to continue to be resilient, supported by strong exposure to critical infrastructure
and government-mandated public works
•Due to the current economic environment Downer cannot provide earnings guidance for FY21 at this time
•While the Downer business continues to be impacted by COVID-19, particularly in Hospitality, its diversification across criticalservices such as road and
rail maintenance, public transport, power and gas, water, health and education, defence and government housing and facilitieshas delivered
considerable resilience in earnings and cash flows
•Across all of Downer's businesses, apart from Hospitality, there is strong demand for its services, significant work-in-hand anda strong pipeline of
opportunities with the potential to benefit further from government stimulus during the COVID-19 recovery period
•As committed, Downer’s deferred unfranked interim dividend of 14 cents per share will be paid on 25 September 2020 to shareholders on the register at
26 February 2020
•Given the current circumstances and equity raising the Downer Board does not intend to pay a final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2020. Dividends
are expected to resume in financial year 2021 depending on business performance

Key risks
Appendix C
Not for distribution or release in the United States
There are a number of risks, of a general and specific nature, which may affect the future operating and financial performance of Downer, its investment returns and the value of its shares. Many of the circumstances giving rise to these risks
are beyond the control of Downer.
This section describes certain specific areas that are believed to be the major risks associated with an investment in Downer. Broadly, these risks include:
•risks specific to Downer's business and the industry in which Downer operates;
•risks relating to the acquisition of 100% of the shares not already owned by Downer in Spotless; and
•general risks associated with the current economic conditions including, among other things, changes in legislation or regulatory policies and variations in prevailing exchange rates and interest rates.
Each of the risks described below could, if they eventuate, have a material adverse effect on Downer’s operating and financial performance. You should note that the risks in this section are not exhaustive. There may be other risks which
Downer is not presently aware of or may arise in the future, which may also have a material impact on Downer's performance. You should consider carefully the risks described in this section, as well as other information in this presentation,
and consult your financial or other professional adviser before making an investment decision.
DOWNER BUSINESS SPECIFIC RISKS:
COVID-19 impact
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Australian and global economy and the ability of individuals, businesses, and governments to operate. Across Australia and the world, travel, trade, business, working
arrangements and consumption have been materially impacted by the pandemic. In addition, events relating to COVID-19 have resulted in significant volatility across financial, commodity and other markets, including in the prices of securities
trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) (including the price of Downer securities) and on other foreign securities exchanges.
As previously disclosed to ASX, COVID-19 has affected Downer in several ways, with:
•generally reduced productivity due to distancing measures;
•reduced provision of services (down to 30%) in New Zealand caused by Level 4 restrictions (now lifted);
•Spotless's hospitality division being unable to generate revenue and the laundries division operating on reduced volumes fromprivate hospitals as a result of the cancellation of elective surgery;
•Asset services experiencing delays to non-essential maintenance and capital works;
•Mining division being impacted by travel restrictions and changed work practices, as well as the closure of the Palaboramine in South Africa; and
•Yarra Trams fare box being impacted by reduced patronage.
While government restrictions have begun to ease, there continues to be considerable uncertainty as to the duration of and further impact of COVID-19. A new wave of infections, prolonged period of social distancing, quarantines, travel
restrictions, work stoppages, (including in the construction industry), project delays, health authority actions, lockdowns and other related measures within Australia or New Zealand (or overseas), or an escalation of currently existing
measures, may directly and indirectly impact a number of aspects of Downer's business divisions including those referred to above. Events such as those experienced in Victoria in early July 2020 demonstrate that the easing of restrictions
can be reversed quickly and without warning.
KEY RISKS
33
Not for distribution or release in the United States
In addition, there is a risk of a COVID-19 related infection occurring at a location in which Downer operates, which could have a negative impact on Downer's ability to operate at that location. This may also create a risk of broader infection of
Downer's workforce which could negatively impact on Downer's ability to meet its contractual obligations, and may adversely impact Downer's financial and business performance.
While Downer considers that it has a strong balance sheet (including as a result of the Entitlement Offer), significant available liquidity and headroom in its bank covenants and expects it will have sufficient liquidity to deal with the
circumstances relating to COVID-19 currently known to it, there is a risk that if the duration of events surrounding COVID-19 isprolonged, Downer may need to take additional measures in order to respond appropriately, including by raising
additional funding or selling assets/businesses.
Downer is also exposed to counterparty risk in respect of its customers failing to fulfil their contractual obligations. Thisrisk may be heightened as a result of COVID-19 and may cause Downer's financial performance and business to be
impacted where its customers experience financial difficulties, reduce or discontinue operations or default on obligations owed to Downer.
There have been and may be other changes in the domestic and global macroeconomic environment associated with the events relating to COVID-19 that are beyond the control of Downer and may be exacerbated in an economic
recession or downturn. These include, but are not limited to:
(a) changes in inflation, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates;
(b) changes in employment levels and labour costs;
(c) changes in customer and consumer behaviours to those that existed prior to the pandemic;
(d) changes in aggregate investment and economic output; and
(e) other changes in economic conditions which may affect Downer's revenue or operating costs.
Many of the risks highlighted in further detail below are likely to be heightened due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
FY20 financial information is preliminary, incomplete and unaudited
The financial information contained in this Investor Presentation for the year ended 30 June 2020 is preliminary only. Downer currently expects to release its full FY20 financial statements on 12 August 2020. While Downer has taken care
so as to have a high degree of confidence that this financial information will not materially differ from the final numbers contained in the FY20 financial statements, there is a risk that those numbers will differ from the final financial information
contained in the FY20 financial statements.
The financial information contained in this Investor Presentation is not a complete statement of all the financial information that will be contained in the FY20 financial statements. Certain of the information that will be contained in the FY20
financial statements may aid in an understanding of the financial information contained in this Investor Presentation. In addition there may be information contained in the FY20 financial statements that may be material to an understanding of
the financial performance and assets and liabilities of Downer that is not set out in this Investor Presentation.
The financial information contained in this Investor Presentation is unaudited. An audit process is currently under way in respect of the finalisation of the FY20 financial statements. The FY20 financial statements will contain an independent
auditors report given by Downer's auditor, KPMG, containing an opinion on the FY20 financial statements and their compliance with the disclosure requirements of Corporation Act. An independent auditors report provides greater assurance
of financial disclosure as compared to unaudited financial information. The independent auditors report will also contain details of the key audit matters that the auditor has focused on in providing its report that may assist in an understanding
of the financial information contained in the FY20 financial statements. There is a risk that the completion of the audit process may require changes to the financial information concerning the year ended 30 June 2020 contained in this
Investor Presentation.
KEY RISKS
34
Not for distribution or release in the United States
Equity raising and Underwriting Risk
Downer has entered into an underwriting agreement under which the Underwriters have agreed to fully underwrite the Entitlement Offer, subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement. If certain events occur, the
underwriter may terminate the underwriting agreement.
Such "termination events" include: regulatory action being undertaken in respect of the Entitlement Offer; ASX refusing to grantquotation of the new shares to be issued under the Entitlement Offer; Downer being prevented from issuing the
new shares under the Entitlement Offer; Downer ceasing to be admitted to the official list of ASX; a director of Downer beingcharged with an indictable offence, being disqualified from managing a corporation or otherwise being the subject of
a regulatory action; Downer or a prescribed member of the Downer Group becoming insolvent; there being a disruption in financialmarkets which makes it impossible or impracticable to settle the Entitlement Offer; the documents released
on ASX by Downer for the Entitlement Offer containing a false, misleading or deceptive statement (including by omission) in amaterially adverse respect; a representation or warranty given by Downer to the Underwriters becoming incorrect
in a materially adverse respect; there being a change in law which materially adversely impacts the Entitlement Offer; or hostilities arising or majorly escalating which involve Australia or the US or a state of emergency being declared in either
of those countries in a materially adverse respect.
Termination of the underwriting agreement would have an adverse impact on the availability of the proceeds raised under the Entitlement Offer and may require Downer to review its proposed gearing strategy and/or seek alternative sources
of funding to achieve those strategies.
Risk of Dilution
You should also note that if you do not take up all of your entitlement under the Entitlement Offer, then your percentage security holding in Downer will be diluted by not participating to the full extent in the Entitlement Offer.
Workplace accidents and environmental incidents
Downer maintains a rigorous focus on Zero Harm for its employees and environment, recognising that its activities can result in harm to people and the environment. As part of this focus Downer, on an ongoing basis, seeks to assess,
understand and mitigate the "critical risks" facing Downer and implementing "Cardinal Rules" which provide direction and guidance on these critical risks and high potential incidents. However, the risk of serious injury, death or environmental
incident cannot be fully eliminated. In such cases there may be adverse impacts on project completions, as well as reputationaldamage to Downer. In the event Downer is found to have failed to comply with applicable health, safety or
environmental legislative requirements, fines, penalties and/or compensation to those affected may be payable.
Key contracts, competition and retention of clients
There is a risk that material contracts that Downer enters may not be renewed, renewed on less favourable terms or cancelled.
Furthermore, some of the markets in which Downer operates are highly competitive. Increased competition can impact on Downer’s ability to win new contracts.
If such events take place this may lead to a decrease in work in hand, profitability and earnings. To manage these risks, Downermaintains its focus on forming strong relationships with customers across a range of different markets and
delivering successful outcomes for its customers, strategic partnerships and joint ventures with leading technology and knowledge providers and a strong focus on its Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.
In addition, some of the contracts that Downer enters have pricing that is ‘fixed’ or ‘not to exceed’. While Downer undertakes thorough bid governance processes to ensure that projects are appropriately estimated and there is a strong focus
on costs, supply chain management and project management controls, to the extent that the cost of delivering on its contractual obligations exceeds the estimated price, Downer could incur losses that are not recoverable from its customers.
KEY RISKS
35
Not for distribution or release in the United States
Project Management and bid governance for large projects
Downer has sought to implement robust project risk management processes and systems across its business (including a Project Management Office), as well as additional bid governance relating to tenders for large projects.
Because of the nature of the industries in which Downer operates and the size of some of Downer’s contracts, there is the possibility that material losses could be incurred if these systems and governance requirements are not followed
correctly.
Key supplier, subcontractor and partner risk
Where Downer is reliant on one or a small set of specialist suppliers or subcontractors to provide goods and services, the performance of these suppliers or subcontractors may impact Downer’s ability to achieve budgeted project outcomes.
Where suppliers or subcontractors do not fulfil contractual obligations or do not renew existing contracts, the ability of Downer to complete projects and win new work may be adversely affected. In addition, there are particular suppliers with
whom Downer has a long term relationship which support Downer’s business activities. A change in relationship with these suppliers and partners could negatively impact Downer’s financial performance.
Capital expenditure
Certain aspects of Downer's operations are reliant on significant capital investment being made in order for Downer to provide services to its customers. Downer's ongoing ability to win new work and to comply with its obligations in respect of
existing contracts may be dependent on sufficient funds being available to Downer in respect of this capital expenditure.
Key personnel and labour issues
Downer’s growth and profitability may be limited by the loss of key management, the inability to attract new suitably qualified personnel or by increases in remuneration costs associated with attracting and retaining personnel. Downer is
dependent on the availability of suitably skilled personnel to provide its services and therefore, access to labour can sometimes represent an ongoing risk in some parts of the business.
Product and services liability
There is a risk that Downer may fail to fulfil its statutory and contractual obligations in relation to the quality of its products or services, which could give rise to contractual damages claims or statutory penalties.
Some entities in the Downer Group are subject to normal design liability in relation to completed design and construction projects where that entity has had design responsibility and in some cases also construction responsibility. The liability
may include claims, disputes and/or litigation against Downer Group companies and/or joint venture arrangements in which the Downer Group has an interest. The liabilities may also include an obligation on Downer to rectify the design
defects at its own cost. The directors are of the opinion that there is adequate insurance to cover these potential liabilities and accordingly, no amounts are recognised in the financial statements.
Insurance
The availability of insurance at an appropriate term and price is not guaranteed. It is possible that the occurrence of an eventmay not be fully covered, or covered at all, by insurance.

Payroll Remediation
(a) Employee Pay Remediation
In 2019, following the identification of historical under and overpayments to some employees, the Group commenced a review ofthe main Enterprise Agreements (EA) and Modern Awards (MA) under which permanent and casual Spotless
employees have been engaged. The review was set up to validate the calculation of wage payments (covering hourly base rates of pay and other entitlements and allowances) through an assessment of how employment agreements, EAs
and MAs have been applied, interpreted and configured in Spotless’ payroll systems.
The review is ongoing but has progressed to a point where Management has been able to identify further instances of underpayments and form its best estimate of the additional cost of remediation in relation to these shortfalls.
(b) Redundancy costs
In addition, on 1 July 2020, Spotless was notified that its appeal to the Full Federal Court in the matters of United Voice vBerkeley Challenge Pty Limited [2018] FCA224 and Fair Work Ombudsman v Spotless Services Australia Ltd [2019]
FCA9 were unsuccessful.
Both cases involved an interpretation of the ordinary and customary turnover of labour(OCTL) exemption to the obligation to make redundancy payments under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act).
Spotless is currently considering the Court’s judgment in the context of an application to the High Court of Australia for special leave to appeal. However, in the meantime Management has formed its best estimate of Spotless’ exposure to
make redundancy payments to former staff where the OCTL exemption has been historically relied upon and on an assumption thatany appeal is not successful.
(c) Estimate of potential exposure in relation to (a) and (b) and risks
Management has estimated the amount at $41m in relation to the above matters, which will be recognisedas a provision in the Financial Statements for the full year ended 30 June 2020. Of this amount, $25m will be recognisedas a prior
period error in opening retained earnings, with $16m being recognisedas an expense in the period.
Each identified case is currently in the process of final validation and quantification. In the case of redundancy costs, thequantification and ultimate liability will also be subject to the outcome of any appeal.
The work involved in calculating the provision has been time consuming, complex and is Management’s best estimate of the Group’sexposure in relation to (a) and (b). The estimate is based on an assessment of substantial volumes of
payroll data and where employee, payroll and/or rostering data has been missing or incomplete, assumptions have been made by thereviewing team in relation to known gaps. The estimate also relies upon the correct interpretation of the
applicable EAs and Modern Awards in calculating the shortfalls.
Changes to any of the variables (including the reviewing period and numbers of employees affected), assumptions (including the roles that employees were originally hired to perform in the case of (b)) or inputs has the potential to result in
further adjustments to the calculation of the shortfall, which would result in further provisioning being required in subsequentreporting periods.
The Group is committed to ensuring its people are paid in accordance with their legal entitlements and will keep the dedicated reviewing team in place until it is satisfied that the above matters have been addressed.

Not for distribution or release in the United States
IT and Cyber risk
Downer relies on IT infrastructure and systems and the efficient and uninterrupted operation of core technologies. Downer's coretechnologies and other systems and operations could be exposed to damage or interruption from system
failures, computer viruses, cyber-attacks, power or telecommunication provider's failure or human error. These events may cause one or more of Downer's core technologies to become unavailable.
Any interruptions to these operations would impact Downer's ability to operate and could result in business interruption, loss of customers and revenue, damaged reputation and weakening of competitive position and could therefore
adversely affect Downer's operating and financial performance.
Downer uses technologies which involve the collection of confidential information. Through the ordinary course of business, Downer may be exposed to cyberattacks. Cyberattacks may lead to a compromise or breach of technology systems
used by Downer to protect confidential information. It is possible that measures taken by Downer will not be sufficient to detect or prevent unauthorised access to, or disclosure of, confidential information, whether malicious or inadvertent.
There is a risk that, if a cyberattack is successful, any data security breaches or Downer's inadvertent failure to protect confidential information could result in a loss of information integrity, breaches of Downer's obligations under applicable
laws or client arrangements, system outages and the hacking of Downer systems. Each of these has the potential to have a materially adverse impact on Downer's reputation and financial performance.
Downer is currently undertaking an IT systems upgrade and is continuing to invest in data centres and network infrastructure.There is a risk that the costs of undertaking these improvements will exceed those anticipated by Downer, that the
anticipated improvements are not achieved or that the upgrading process causes business disruption.
Environmental risk
Downer operates in industries and services that may have a negative impact on the environment, including in respect of land, airand water pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Downer believes in the pursuit of environmental excellence
and enhancing liveability for all communities in which it operates.
Downer is committed to developing solutions to reduce its energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and is seeking to transition to a low carbon economy. There is a risk that these strategies cause increases to Downer's cost
structure or that Downer will be unable to satisfy future regulatory requirements relating to these matters.
There is a risk that Downer's business operations may incur liability under applicable environmental laws and regulations that could adversely impact Downer's financial and business performance. In the event that Downer is found to have
failed to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations, fines, penalties and/or compensation to those affected may be payable. There is also a risk that any such event may have adverse impacts on project completions and
result in reputational damage to Downer.
Future dividends and franking capital
On 24 March 2020 Downer announced that payment of the interim dividend ($83 million) would be deferred until September 2020 as aconsequence of COVID-19. While the current intention of Downer remains to pay that interim dividend,
a number of listed companies have cancelled previously declared dividends as the COVID-19 pandemic develops. The impact of COVID-19 may also impact on the ability to pay future dividends.
While Downer maintains a progressive dividend policy with interim and final dividends generally being in line with improved earnings and balance sheet strength, any future dividends and the level of franking will ultimately be determined by
the Board of Downer having regard to a range of factors including the performance of Downer's businesses (particularly in theCOVID-19 environment), the availability of cash, capital requirements of the business and obligations under debt
instruments. There is no guarantee that any dividend will be paid by Downer or, if paid, that they will be paid at previous levels, or with the same level of franking as prior periods.
KEY RISKS

Not for distribution or release in the United States
Partnerships and joint ventures
Controlled entities have entered into various partnerships and joint ventures under which the controlled entity could ultimatelybe jointly and severally liable for the obligations of the partnership or joint venture.
The participation of third parties in partnerships and joint ventures introduces the risk that Downer may not be able to determine the outcome of business decisions concerning the activities of the partnership or joint venture and may not be
able to access surplus cash generated by the partnership or joint venture. The contractual terms governing the partnership orjoint venture may give third party participants rights that are adverse to the interests of Downer in certain
circumstances (for example where Downer breaches a term of the arrangement or where there is a change of control of Downer) and may give rise to disputes between the participants in the partnership or joint venture.
Asset impairment
The Downer Board regularly monitors impairment risk. Consistent with accounting standards, Downer is periodically required toassess the carrying values of its assets. Where the value of an asset assessed is to be less than its carrying
value, Downer is obliged to recognise an impairment charge in its profit or loss. Impairment charges can be significant and operate to reduce the level of a company’s profits, may impact its capacity to pay dividends and may impact upon
financial ratios relevant to Downer’s financing arrangements. Impairment charges are a non-cash item.
As outlined in the Presentation,on 21 July 2020 Downer announced non-cash impairment charges of $165m relating to the Spotless goodwill and certain other impairment charges (for example, $26m relating to the information systems of
Downer), including as a result of the impact of COVID-19. While Downer believes that those impairment charges fully deal with the financial consequences of this deterioration in the relevant activities of the Downer Group there is a risk that
deterioration in those activities may result in further impairment charges in relation to these matters.
Cost reductions
Downer has undertaken an internal analysis of cost saving and restructuring opportunities available to the Downer Group. It is possible that such analyses, the assumptions made by Downer and the resulting conclusions, are ultimately
inaccurate or fail to be fully realised, or the costs associated with the cost saving and restructuring opportunities (includingtransaction costs, taxes and stamp duty) or the level of cost saving realisations are different compared to those
indicated by Downer's analysis. In such circumstances, there is a risk that the profitability and future earnings of the operations of the Downer Group may be different from the profitability and earnings expected as reflected in this presentation.
As outlined in the Investor Presentation, on 21 July 2020 Downer announced that it will incur portfolio and exit costs of $142m to right size its corporate cost structure, primarily in restructuring its hospitality, engineering and construction and
infrastructure and construction divisions to reflect its new business model. There is a risk that the provision for these costs is insufficient to recognise the actual costs incurred in undertaking this right size its corporate cost structure.
Acquisition and Divestment risks
Downer periodically considers acquisition and divestment opportunities. There can be no assurance that Downer will identify suitable acquisition or divestment opportunities or other projects at acceptable prices, or successfully execute those
opportunities.
In addition, Downer's past and future acquisitions and divestments may subject to unanticipated risks and liabilities, or maydisrupt its operations. Acquisitions may not deliver projected benefits or value, and integrations may not be
successful, resulting in interruptions to the achievement of business strategy. Due diligence undertaken in making acquisitions may not have identified all liabilities and risks associated with the relevant business. This may divert
management's attention and resources from Downer's day to day operations.
Downer is conducting a portfolio review of its business in order to determine whether to divest certain non-core assets and business units, particularly its mining and laundries business units. The laundries sale process has been paused and
is intended to resume when investment market conditions improve. There is no guarantee that Downer will be able to dispose ofthese assets or business units at acceptable prices or successfully execute any such disposal opportunities.
Downer is seeking to exit high risk construction markets in Downer's engineering and construction and Spotless's infrastructure and construction divisions as remaining projects complete. The stadium and events business of Spotless
hospitality has been placed in hibernation as Downer determines which parts of that business will continue, be exited or soldasfuture market demand becomes clearer. The exiting of these markets and businesses may involve unanticipated
costs and may impact the future financial performance of Downer.

Guarantees and indemnities
Downer and certain of its controlled entities are called upon to give guarantees and indemnities in respect of the performance by counterparties, including controlled entities and related parties, of their contractual and financial obligations.
These guarantees and indemnities are generally indeterminable in amount.
Litigation
Downer is subject to the usual business risk that disputes or litigation may arise from time to time in the course of its business activities. Downer's 2019 Annual Report and half-year report for the 6 months ended 31 December 2019 discloses
a number of such disputes, claims and litigation such as those relating to the "leaky building" claims in New Zealand and thearbitration proceedings on foot with TecnicasReunidasS.A. among others. If such issues are not resolved in line
with Downer's expectations, there could be a material impact on Downer's financial position.
Economic and Financial Risks
Level of economic activity
Downer’s operational and financial performance is linked to both the overall level of activity in the economy and the level of construction, investment and outsourcing in the sectors in which Downer operates. A reduction in economic activity
(for example, during periods of economic recession, including, but not limited to, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic), and particularly a reduction in demand for the commodities produced by many of Downer’s larger clients,
or a reduction in the level of outsourcing in the sectors in which Downer operates, can negatively impact the level of revenue and earnings generated by Downer.
Level of government spending
Public authorities in Australia and New Zealand are major clients of Downer. Changes in prioritisation of government spendingorrestrictions on the level of spending undertaken by governments (including, but not limited to, as a result of the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic) could impact the level of earnings generated by Downer.
Continued access to capital markets
Downer’s ability to service its existing debt will dependon its future performance and cash flows, which in turn will be affected by various factors, certain of which are outside of itscontrol (such as changes in interest and foreign exchange
rates, and general economic conditions (including, but not limited to, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic)). Anyinability to service its existing debt may have a material adverse effect on Downer. Further, to the extent that
additional equity or debt funding is not available from time to time on acceptable terms, Downer may not be able to operate its business in the ordinary course, take advantage of acquisition and other growth opportunities, develop new
business or respond to competitive pressures.
Financing covenants and ability to refinance
Downer has various covenants in relation to its banking facilities. Factors such as increases in base rates, increased borrowings and weak operational performance could lead to Downer breaching its debt covenants. In certain
circumstances, lenders may require that such banking facilities be repaid immediately. Under such a scenario, there is no guarantee that Downer will be able to secure alternative financing on commercially acceptable terms or at all.
Further, where existing loans either approach or reach maturity, Downer may seek to re-negotiate with existing and new lenders to extend the maturity date of those loans. Downer’s earnings profile, credit rating, state of the economy and
other factors (including, but not limited to, the COVID-19 pandemic) may influence the outcome of those negotiations. Where refinancing occurs at a higher cost, this may impact the ability of Downer to win new work and the profitability of its
operations.
KEY RISKS

Not for distribution or release in the United States
Credit ratings
As at the date of this presentation Downer was rated BBB (Stable) by Fitch Ratings.
Changes to Downer’s credit rating by Fitch Ratingsmay impact the ability of Downer to win new work as well as the cost of funding. Where the credit rating is reduced, or placed on negative watch, customers and suppliers may be less
willing to contract with Downer as Downer may be considered to be higher counterparty risk. Banks and other lending institutionsmay demand a higher interest rate on funds provided to Downer to reflect the higher risk of lending. In such
circumstances, both the revenue and profitability of Downer may be reduced.
Impact of interest rate and foreign exchange movements
While Downer takes reasonable steps to protect itself through the use of hedges, rising interest rates may nonetheless adverselyimpact Downer’s interest payments on its floating rate borrowings and inflation in underlying input costs may
also adversely impact the anticipated returned from client operations. Notwithstanding the hedging arrangements Downer has inplace, disruptions in financial markets (including, but not limited to, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic) may
affect the availability and cost of hedging, which may have a material adverse impact on the financial performance and position of Downer.
In addition, as Downer operates internationally it faces foreign exchange rate risks associated with foreign currency denominated debt, input costs and offshore earnings.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACQUISITON OF SPOTLESS
Increased economic exposure to Spotless
Downer currently has an approximate 88% interest in Spotless and has had such an interest since the close of its takeover offer in 2017. If the Spotless Offer is successful Spotless will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Downer and will
therefore have an increased economic exposure to Spotless. While this increased economic exposure will afford Downer the opportunity to receive all of the benefit of any improvement in the financial performance and value of Spotless, the
increased economic exposure also exposes Downer to greater risk if there is a financial deterioration and decline in the value of Spotless.
Impact of COVID-19
As discussed above in further detail, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on various business divisions of Downer. With a strong focus on hospitality services (among others), Spotless's businesses have been
impacted significantly as a result of government restrictions imposed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the closure of a number of venues that Spotless provides hospitality services to and restricted operating conditions in
those venues as restrictions ease and the laundries business operating on reduced volumes. The effect of such restrictions may continue for a prolonged period of time even as they begin to ease, such that Spotless operates under limited
revenue conditions in the near to medium term before its operating environment recovers to pre-COVID levels. Downer is unable to estimate when such recovery may be achieved. Events such as those experienced in Victoria in early July
2020 also demonstrate that the easing of restrictions can be reversed quickly and without warning.
Post Acquisition Performance and Synergies
Downer has undertaken an internal analysis of the synergies which would be available as a result of successful completion of theSpotless Offer and 100% ownership of Spotless. It is possible that such analyses, the assumptions made by
Downer and the resulting conclusions, are ultimately inaccurate or fail to be fully realised, or the costs associated with the acquisition (including transaction costs, taxes and stamp duty) or the level of synergy realisation are different compared
to those indicated by Downer's analysis. In such circumstances, there is a risk that the profitability and future earnings ofthe operations of the combined Downer Group may be different from the profitability and earnings expected as reflected
in this presentation.
KEY RISKS
41
Not for distribution or release in the United States
Completion risk
The acquisition of the outstanding shares in Spotless is subject to an unconditional takeover bid which Downer has committed to make in respect of the shares it does not currently own in Spotless. Downer has entered into a call option deed
with Coltrane Master Fund, L.P. over 2.99% of Spotless shares. While the making of the bid and grant of the option means thatthere is a high degree of certainty that Downer will be able to proceed with compulsory acquisition and move to
100% ownership of Spotless, the technical nature of the relevant legislative provisions means there is a possibility that outcome might not be achieved or may be delayed.
If Downer otherwise acquires less than 100% of the remaining shares in Spotless, the full benefits of completing the SpotlessOffer would not be realised. In that event, more of the net proceeds of the Entitlement Offer would be applied to
reduce debt, with Downer to review its capital management position in the future as required.
GENERAL RISKS
General equity market and investment risk
The price of Downer shares will fluctuate due to various factors including movements in Australian equity markets, recommendations by brokers and analysts, interest rates, inflation, Australian and international economic conditions, changes
in government, fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies, global and geo-political events and hostilities, natural disasters, changing climatic conditions, pandemics, public health emergencies, acts of terrorism, investor perceptions and other
factors that may affect Downer’s financial position and earnings. Downer manages its exposure to these risks by undertaking, among other things, strategic partnerships and joint ventures to diversify revenue sources.
Government policies and legislation
Downer’s business is affected by a range of industry specific and general legal and regulatory controls. Changes in these types of controls can have an adverse effect on Downer’s financial performance. Further, any major shift in regulatory
policy may impact on the profitability of Downer and its customers. Infrastructure projects, which are a key source of revenue for Downer, are subject to discretion by government departments and ministers.
Business interruptions
Significant business interruptions as a result of natural disasters (such as fire, earthquake, flood or cyclone), pandemics or public health emergencies, general periods of prolonged rain, unstable service sites or regulatory intervention may
have a materially adverse impact on the business activities of Downer and its clients and may lead to a decrease in profitability and earnings.
Taxation risk
Future changes in the tax law of Australia or the investor's jurisdiction, including changes in interpretation or applicationofthe law by courts or taxation authorities in Australia or the investor's jurisdiction, may affect the taxation treatment of an
investment in Downer shares or the holding and disposal of those shares. Further, changes in tax law, or changes in the way tax law is expected to be interpreted in the various jurisdictions in which Downer operates may impact the future
tax liabilities of Downer.
Changes in accounting policy
Changes to Australian Accounting Standards could affect Downer’s reported earnings and its financial position from time to time.

The following is a summary of the statutory rights of rescission or to damages, or both, available to purchasers in Ontario. In Ontario, every purchaser of the New Shares purchased pursuant to this document (other than (a) a "Canadian
financial institution" or a "Schedule III bank" (each as defined in NI 45-106), (b) the Business Development Bank of Canada or (c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in (a) or (b) above, if the person owns all the voting securities of the
subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of that subsidiary) shall have a statutoryright of action for damages and/or rescission against Downer if this document or any amendment thereto contains a
misrepresentation. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against Downer. This right of action for rescission or damages is in addition to and without derogation
from any other right the purchaser may have at law. In particular, Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that, if this document contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases the New Shares during the period of
distribution shall be deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase and has a right of action for damages or, alternatively, may elect to exercise a right of rescission against Downer,
provided that (a) Downer will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the New Shares with knowledge of the misrepresentation; (b) in an action for damages, Downer is not liable for all or any portion of the damages that Downer
proves does not represent the depreciation in value of the New Shares as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon; and (c) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the New Shares were offered.
Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than (a) in the case of any action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of
action or (b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the fact giving rise to the cause of action or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave
rise to the cause of action. These rights are in addition to and not in derogation from any other right the purchaser may have.
Certain Canadian income tax considerations. Prospective purchasers of the New Shares should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposition of the New Shares as
any discussion of taxation related matters in this document is not a comprehensive description and there are a number of substantive Canadian tax compliance requirements for investors in the Provinces.
