CORRECTING and REPLACING – Hill International Announces Update to Anticipated Closing Date of Construction Claims Group Sale

PHILADELPHIA, March 23, 2017 -- In a release issued under the same headline earlier today by Hill International (NYSE:HIL), please note that an incorrect date appeared at the end of the first paragraph. It should have read "to close the transaction on April 30, 2017," not on March 31, 2017 as previously stated. The corrected release follows:

Hill International (NYSE:HIL), the global leader in managing construction risk, announced today that the sale of its Construction Claims Group is now expected to occur on or about April 30, 2017.  The company had previously announced that it expected that the closing of the sale would occur on March 31, 2017.  While good progress continues to be made, it has been agreed between the parties that further time will be required to complete the necessary steps to close the transaction on April 30, 2017.
