("Costain" or "the Company") 
Scrip Dividend Reference Price 
The Company announces that the Scrip Dividend Reference Price for the fully paid 
shares in the Company to be issued to shareholders who elect to receive the 
scrip dividend alternative for the final dividend for the year ended 31 December 
2009 is 24.3 pence per ordinary share of 5 pence each. 
The Scrip Reference Price has been calculated in the usual way as the average of 
the middle market quotations for the Company's shares as derived from the Daily 
Official List of the London Stock Exchange for the five business days commencing 
on the ex-dividend date.  The Company's ordinary shares were marked ex-dividend 
on 21 April 2010. 
Further Information 
Shareholders wishing to receive the scrip dividend in respect of the final 
dividend for the year ended 31 December 2009 and who have not already submitted 
a mandate form, should return a mandate form to Equiniti Limited, Share Dividend 
Team, Aspect House, Spencer Road, Lancing, West Sussex BN99 6DA to arrive no 
later than 29 April 2010. 
Mandate forms and the scrip dividend booklet containing the terms of the 
Company's scrip dividend scheme are set out on the Company's website at: 
http://www.costain.com/investors/shareholder-details/dividend-history.aspx 
If you have already completed a valid scrip dividend mandate form, it will 
remain valid until you cancel your election and you need not return any 
documentation to receive this scrip dividend. 
The final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2009, including the scrip 
dividend, will be paid on 21 May 2010 (the dividend payment date) to the 
ordinary shareholders of the Company on the register at close of business on 23 
April 2010 (the record date). 
Shareholders should note that shareholders are being asked to approve a 
consolidation of the  Company's ordinary share capital at the Company's Annual 
General Meeting to be held on 6 May 2010 (the "Share Consolidation").  If the 
resolution to effect the Share Consolidation is approved by shareholders, the 
Share Consolidation will become effective on 6 May 2010 and, as this date is 
prior to the dividend payment date, the Costain shares that will be allotted and 
issued to shareholders who elect to receive the scrip dividend will be Costain's 
new ordinary shares with a par value of 50p each.  Accordingly, the number of 
shares so allotted and issued in connection with scrip dividend will be adjusted 
to reflect the Share Consolidation (on the basis of one ordinary share of 50p 
each for each 10 ordinary shares of 5p each).  Any fractions of shares arising 
will be disregarded, with any surplus cash balance being carried forward to the 
next dividend payment date in the usual way. 
For further information please contact Equiniti on 0871 384 2270.  Calls to this 
number are charged at 8p per minute from a BT landline.  Other telephony 
provider costs may vary.
