CH2M Internal Market Trade on February 10, 2017

As previously announced, the internal market trade date for CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd. (“CH2M”) is February 10, 2017. CH2M’s Board and members of senior management met to determine what amount, if any, will be allocated by CH2M to repurchase shares in the internal market on that date. The Board decided to allocate $10 million toward repurchasing shares in the internal market on February 10, 2017, at the $46.83 per share stock price in effect at this time. There was also available $5 million in funds provided by employees who placed orders to purchase stock in the internal market on February 10, 2017. Based on the aggregate funds available, and pursuant to the proration methodology described in CH2M’s Form 8-K dated January 19, 2017, each stockholder who placed a sell order for up to 260 shares was able to sell all shares requested in this trade, while those requesting the sale of shares exceeding that amount were able to sell 260 shares during this period.

For an explanation of the factors and values used by the CH2M Board in setting the price of the common stock and in making the determination whether to participate in the internal market by purchasing shares of common stock available to be repurchased because of an excess of sell orders over buy orders, see the section titled “INTERNAL MARKET INFORMATION — Stock Price Determined by Board of Directors” in the CH2M prospectus dated March 23, 2010, as amended by the Current Reports on Form 8-K disclosing the price for common stock filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, each of which can be found at http://www.sec.gov or by calling CH2M at (303) 771-0900.
