Exhibit 99
(BW)(MO-INSITUFORM-TECH) (INSUA) Insituform Technologies, Inc.
Announces Dismissal of Antitrust and Unfair Competition Claims
Lawsuit
Chesterfield, MO -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- November 17, 1999 --
Insituform Technologies, Inc. ("Insituform") (NASDAQ: INSUA)
announced today that CAT Contracting, Inc. and Inliner USA, Inc.
(now called FirstLiner U.S.A., Inc.) had dismissed with prejudice
their lawsuit which has been pending in the United States District
Court in Houston since 1996. The suit had been brought against
Insituform Technologies, Inc., Insituform Gulf South, Inc. and
Insituform East, Inc. and included claims, among others, of
antitrust activities and unfair competition.
After initial pre-trial disclosures, the plaintiffs
unilaterally approached Insituform to end the case. No payments or
other concessions were made by Insituform.
Anthony Hooper, Insituform's Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer said today: "This outcome completely vindicates
us and is in recognition of what we have maintained since the
outset of this unfortunate case, namely that Insituform never
engaged in the practices alleged by the plaintiffs. Insituform
welcomes the opportunity to be freed from this baseless litigation
so that it can now direct its resources and personnel towards more
productive endeavors".
Insituform Technologies, Inc. is a leading worldwide provider
of proprietary technologies and services for rehabilitating sewer,
water and other underground piping systems without digging and
