                               Important notice

At the Bouygues Extraordinary General Meeting held on 10 October 2011,
shareholders passed the resolution to reduce share capital through a share
repurchase tender offer.

The tender offer priced at EUR30 per Bouygues share, declared compliant by the
AMF on 4 October 2011, covers a maximum of 41,666,666 shares, or 11.7% of the
share capital and at least 8.7% of voting rights based on a total number of
356,313,006 shares and 479,807,380 voting rights of the Company at
31 August 2011.

Pursuant to the provisions of Article 261-3 of the AMF General Regulation, the
firm Ricol Lasteyrie, represented by Sonia Bonnet-Bernard acting as an
independent appraiser and retained by Bouygues to prepare a report on the
financial terms of the Offer, concluded that the price of the Offer is fair for
both shareholders who decide to tender their shares and for those who decide not
to, which the Board of Directors of Bouygues has noted.

The Board of Directors of Bouygues has resolved, after the Extraordinary General
Meeting, to implement the share capital reduction through a share repurchase
tender offer followed by cancellation of the repurchased shares of the Company
in accordance with Article L. 225-207 of the French Commercial Code.

Regulation, legal, financial, accounting and other information concerning
