CH2M Internal Market Trade on April 28, 2017

As previously announced, the internal market trade date for CH2M HILL Companies, Ltd. (“CH2M”) is April 28, 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 towards repurchasing shares in the internal market on April 28, 2017, at the $50.69 per share stock price in effect at this time. There was also available $2.3 million in funds provided by employees who placed orders to purchase stock in the internal market on April 28, 2017. Based on the aggregate funds available, and pursuant to the proration methodology described in CH2M’s Form 8-K dated April 4, 2017, each stockholder who placed a sell order for up to 250 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 250 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. For an explanation of CH2M’s historical financial performance, see CH2M’s financial information included in CH2M’s annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC, which may be accessed at http://www.sec.gov.

CH2M intends to return to a routine trading schedule following the filing of the Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017.  As previously announced in our Form 8-K filed on April 10, 2017, the next trade date is currently expected to occur in September 2017, with the market opening in August 2017.
