Earlier today, OCG hosted a ceremony at their Tokyo headquarters, where AECOM

President, Asia Pacific, Sean Chiao and OCG President Eiji Yonezawa signed the

agreement in front of senior executives from both companies. The preferred

partner agreement between the two leading infrastructure companies, each with

its own legacy of globally successful projects, will allow for joint financial

and resourcing arrangements to compete for the largest and most complex

infrastructure projects in the region.

"As Japan continues to increase its support for infrastructure development

across the Asia region, the strategic partnership formed by AECOM and Oriental

Consultants Global will bring together our respective expertise, experience and

insights to fulfil the transformational and often extremely complex projects

that are being envisioned," said Mr. Chiao. "Our joint business plan includes

formalizing mutual growth objectives aligned with the US-Japan Partnership for

Infrastructure Investment in Third Countries."

"In an effort to build upon the U.S.-Japan Partnership, we're proud to partner

with AECOM to further develop transformative infrastructure projects across

Asia," said Mr. Yonezawa.

The U.S.-Japan Partnership for Infrastructure Investment in Third Countries has

been developed to address development challenges, increase connectivity, and

promote economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

"Since the U.S.-Japan partnership, there has been a significant increase in

overseas investment by Japanese public and private organizations," said Saito

Hiroshi, head of Japanese overseas investment at AECOM. "In partnership with

OCG, we are well-suited to help high-growth nations across Asia create safer,

cleaner and more connected communities."
