You may vote if you owned shares at the close of business on April 11, 2002. You are entitled to one vote for each share you owned on that date on each matter presented at the meeting. As of April 11, 2002, Insituform had 26,543,017 shares of class A common stock, $.01 par value, outstanding. Insituform has no class or series of voting stock outstanding other than the common stock. WHAT AM I VOTING ON? - You are voting to elect nine directors. Each director, if elected, will serve a term of one year and until his or her successor has been elected and has qualified. The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" this proposal. - In addition, you may vote on other business, if it properly comes before the meeting, or any adjournment(s) of the meeting. HOW DO I VOTE? - By Written Proxy: You can vote by written proxy. If you sign and return the enclosed proxy card, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with the terms of the proxy, unless you subsequently revoke your proxy. You can return your proxy card in the enclosed envelope, which requires no postage if mailed in the U.S. - In Person: If you are a record stockholder, you can vote in person at the meeting. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RECORD STOCKHOLDER AND A STOCKHOLDER WHO HOLDS SHARES IN STREET NAME? - If your shares are registered in your name, you are a record stockholder. - If your shares are in the name of your broker or bank, your shares are held in street name. WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO ELECT DIRECTORS? Directors are elected by a plurality vote. That means that the nine nominees who receive the most votes are elected. A majority vote is not required. CAN I REVOKE MY PROXY? Yes. You can revoke your proxy by: - giving written notice to Insituform's Secretary prior to the actual vote at the meeting, - delivering a later-dated proxy card at the meeting, or - voting in person at the meeting. WHAT IS THE RECORD DATE AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The record date for the 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is April 11, 2002. The record date is set by the Board of Directors, as required by Delaware law. Record stockholders at the close of business on the record date are entitled to: - receive notice of the meeting, and - vote at the meeting, and at any adjournment(s) of the meeting. 2 WHAT IF I DO NOT SPECIFY MY VOTE WHEN I RETURN MY PROXY? You should specify your choice for each matter on the enclosed proxy card. If no specific instructions are given, proxies that are signed and returned will be voted FOR the election of all director nominees. HOW ARE DESIGNATIONS TO WITHHOLD AUTHORITY AND BROKER NON-VOTES COUNTED? If you designate on the proxy that you "withhold authority" to vote for a nominee or nominees, your shares will be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for transacting business at the meeting. Broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum to the extent that such shares are voted on any matter presented at the meeting. A "broker non-vote" occurs when a broker or nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker or nominee: - has not received voting instructions on a particular matter from the beneficial owner or persons entitled to vote, and - does not have the discretionary voting power on the matter. As discussed above, a plurality of the votes cast is required for the election of directors, which means that the nominees with the nine highest vote totals will be elected as directors. As a result, a broker non-vote or the withholding of a proxy's authority will have no effect on the outcome of the vote in the election of directors. WHAT IS A QUORUM? A quorum must be present in person or by proxy in order to transact business at the meeting. A majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present in person or by proxy constitutes a quorum for this purpose. PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS At the meeting, stockholders will elect nine directors, each to serve a term of one year and until a successor is elected and qualified. It is the intention of each of the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy to vote the shares represented thereby in favor of the nine nominees listed under "Certain Information Concerning Nominees and Directors" below, unless otherwise instructed in the proxy. Each director nominee, other than John P. Dubinsky, is presently serving as a director of Insituform. Insituform's Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the director nominees will be unable or will decline to serve. If, however, any nominee should become unable or unwilling to serve, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote the shares represented by the proxy for another person duly nominated by the Board to act in the nominee's place, or, if no other person is so nominated, to vote the shares only for the remaining nominees. Russell B. Wight, Jr. was a member of Insituform's Board during a portion of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

The Insituform Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Strategic Planning Committee and a Non-Insider Stock Option Committee. The Board dissolved its Nominating Committee in 2000. Currently, the Board acts as a nominating committee. Stockholders also may make nominations for directors. Stockholders wishing to propose nominees for consideration at the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must comply with a by-law provision dealing with nominations. For a discussion of the nominating procedures, see "Stockholder Proposals." The members of the Board's Audit Committee are Paul A. Biddelman (Chair), Juanita H. Hinshaw and Sheldon Weinig. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing that management fulfills its responsibilities in connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of Insituform and its subsidiaries. The committee's functions include making recommendations to the Board regarding the engaging and discharging of Insituform's independent auditors, reviewing with the independent auditors the plan and the results of the auditing engagement, reviewing the scope and results of Insituform's procedures for internal auditing, approving the professional services provided by the independent auditors and reviewing the independence of the independent auditors. During the year ended December 31, 2001, 5 the Audit Committee held six meetings. The Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. A copy of the charter was included as an appendix to Insituform's 2001 proxy statement. The members of the Board's Compensation Committee are Stephen P. Cortinovis (Chair), Juanita H. Hinshaw and Alfred L. Woods. The functions of the Compensation Committee include establishing performance-based compensation for Insituform's executive officers and making recommendations to the Board regarding the salaries, bonuses, fringe benefits or compensation of any kind for Insituform's other senior management employees and directors. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Compensation Committee held four meetings. The members of the Board's Strategic Planning Committee are Anthony W. Hooper (Chair), Robert W. Affholder and Thomas N. Kalishman. The role of the committee is to review and to make recommendations to the Board regarding Insituform's strategy and strategic planning process. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Strategic Planning Committee held one meeting. The members of the Board's Non-Insider Stock Option Committee are Anthony W. Hooper (Chair) and Robert W. Affholder. After the Board approves an aggregate number of option grants, the Non-Insider Stock Option Committee makes specific grants of stock options under the 2001 Employee Equity Incentive Plan (the "2001 Employee Plan") to employees who are not subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Non-Insider Stock Option Committee acted four times by unanimous written consent. DIRECTOR COMPENSATION Each director of Insituform who is not an Insituform employee receives compensation in the amount of $16,000 per annum and $1,500 per Board meeting, or Board committee meeting, attended by such director ($750 in the case of telephonic meetings and committee meetings held in conjunction with Board meetings), plus reimbursement of his or her expenses. Directors who are operating officers of Insituform do not receive any additional compensation for their service as director. In addition, on March 19, 2001, Insituform granted options under its 1992 Director Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Director Plan") covering 7,500 shares of common stock to each of the current directors, except Anthony W. Hooper, Insituform's Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. All of these options are currently exercisable at a price per share equal to $29.06, the closing price per share of the common stock on The Nasdaq National Market on the date of grant, and expire ten years from the date of grant. Mr. Hooper was granted 75,072 options under the 1992 Director Plan on March 19, 2001. One-quarter of Mr. Hooper's options were immediately exercisable. The remainder become exercisable in three equal annual installments thereafter. These options are exercisable at a price per share of $29.06 and they expire seven years from the grant date. On May 10, 2001, Insituform stockholders approved the adoption of the 2001 Employee Plan and the 2001 Non-Employee Director Equity Incentive Plan (the "2001 Director Plan"). These plans replaced the 1992 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Employee Plan") and the 1992 Director Plan. Following the May 2001 stockholder vote, the Board ceased grants under the 1992 Director Plan and the 1992 Employee Plan. Currently, grants to non-employee directors would be made under the 2001 Director Plan. Grants to Messrs. Affholder, Hooper and Kalishman, directors that are also Insituform employees, would be made under the 2001 Employee Plan. 6 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE The following table sets forth certain information with respect to compensation for each of Insituform's last three completed fiscal years of Insituform's chief executive officer and other current executive officers.

CERTAIN AGREEMENTS WITH DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS In July 1998, Insituform entered into arrangements with Anthony W. Hooper, Insituform's Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, which replaced all prior arrangements with Mr. Hooper. Under these arrangements, Insituform will endeavor to continue Mr. Hooper's tenure as 9 Chairman of the Board and a director of Insituform. In addition, the arrangements provide for a base salary, subject to annual review, and an annual bonus payment in an amount calculated as a percentage of base salary with a center point objective of 50%, intended to provide an opportunity of up to twice the center point. The base salary and annual bonus percentage have both been increased after annual reviews. Those arrangements with Mr. Hooper also provide that option grants become immediately exercisable in the event of specified changes in control of Insituform. Further, Insituform provides Mr. Hooper with a car allowance, reimbursement for one country club membership and medical and life insurance benefits. Last, the arrangements provide that, in the event Mr. Hooper's employment is terminated without "cause" or he resigns with "good reason" (as defined therein), he will be entitled to base salary and bonus over a period of 18 months (or 30 months, if following specified changes in control of Insituform), subject to payment, at his election, in a lump sum at a discounted rate, and in all cases, together with excise taxes due, if any, and coverage during the foregoing period under Insituform's welfare plans (or equivalent coverage). In connection with Mr. Hooper's relocation to Insituform's headquarters facilities in Chesterfield, Missouri, and in addition to the amounts extended to Mr. Hooper under Insituform's Relocation Plan, in September 1997, Insituform extended a loan to Mr. Hooper in the amount of $200,000, due on the fifth anniversary thereof, or earlier in the event of cessation of employment. The loan accrues interest after default at the rate of 1% per month, and does not accrue interest prior to default except as specified therein. In connection with Insituform's acquisition of Insituform Mid-America, Inc. ("IMA") in October 1995, Insituform entered into an employment agreement with Robert W. Affholder. Under Mr. Affholder's agreement, as amended, which has been extended through December 2002, Mr. Affholder serves as Senior Executive Vice President of Insituform, receives an annual salary of $125,000, and devotes one-half of his business time to Insituform's affairs. In the event of Mr. Affholder's death, the agreement terminates automatically. In addition, it is terminable by Insituform upon the failure of Mr. Affholder to perform his duties thereunder owing to illness or other incapacity, if the illness continues for a period of six months, or for other "cause" (as defined in the agreement). Mr. Affholder's arrangements with Insituform entitle him to participate in medical and other employee benefit plans and to the use of an automobile. Mr. Affholder has also entered into a non-competition agreement with Insituform that expires two years after all of Mr. Affholder's service to Insituform has ended. Antoine Menard, Vice President-Europe of Insituform, is entitled to severance upon termination, other than for specified causes, calculated as the greater of twelve months' base salary or an amount prescribed by law. JOINT REPORT OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Compensation Committee of Insituform's Board of Directors consists of three directors: Stephen P. Cortinovis (Chair), Juanita H. Hinshaw and Alfred L. Woods, none of whom is an executive officer or employee of Insituform. The Compensation Committee establishes performance-based compensation for Insituform's executive officers and makes recommendations to the Board regarding other compensation arrangements for Insituform's executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee administers the 2001 Employee Plan, under which stock options may be awarded to executive officers. The objectives of the Compensation Committee in establishing and recommending executive compensation to the Board are: - to offer levels of compensation which are competitive with those offered by other companies in similar businesses, - to compensate executives based on each executive's level of responsibility and contribution to Insituform's business goals, 10 - to link compensation with Insituform's financial performance, and - to align the interests of Insituform's executives with the interests of Insituform's stockholders. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the achievement of the foregoing objectives was directed to the support of Insituform's principal business strategies. As a result of the foregoing objectives, the compensation program for Insituform's executives, including its Chief Executive Officer, has been formulated to consist principally of base salary, annual cash bonuses, long-term cash bonuses and stock options, as described below. Base Salary. The Compensation Committee evaluates executive base salaries by level of responsibility, individual performances and Insituform's performance, as well as by the need to provide a competitive package that allows Insituform to retain key executives. At the commencement of each year, the Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with key executives, establishes individual performance objectives for the ensuing year. After reviewing individual performance, Insituform's performance and available information on salaries at other companies of similar size (with particular focus on other construction-based operations), the Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee concerning the base salaries of executive officers. The Compensation Committee reviews and, with any changes it deems appropriate, approves the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer for submission to the Board. Using the same review process, the Compensation Committee makes decisions pertaining to the Chief Executive Officer. During the year ended December 31, 2001, remuneration as President and Chief Executive Officer to Mr. Hooper was initially at the rate of $467,500 per annum. In March 2001, Mr. Hooper's base salary was increased to $530,000 per annum in connection with the annual review of his performance, at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and upon authorization of the full Board. Insituform also remains party to certain loan arrangements extended to Mr. Hooper in connection with his relocation to Chesterfield in July 1997, as described under "Certain Agreements with Directors and Executive Officers" above. Annual Cash Bonuses. Key employees can receive annual cash bonuses based on the performance of Insituform as a whole, the employee's operating unit and the employee compared to goals set at the beginning of the year. The availability of the bonus is determined by actual performance compared to the goals. The target amount of the bonus is established as a percentage of the employee's salary, but can vary based on actual performance. The Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers participate in the bonus program, but, because the Chief Executive Officer has responsibility for Insituform as a whole, his bonus does not have an individual operating unit component. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the goals and target bonus amounts were set by the Board for the Chief Executive Officer's at 70% of his annual salary and for the other executive officers at 50% of their respective annual salaries, based on a compensation study and the Board's review of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers. As part of Mr. Hooper's employment arrangements entered into in July 1998, he is entitled to bonus payments in an amount calculated as a percentage of base salary with a center point objective of 50%, intended to provide an opportunity of up to twice the center point. The goals and target bonus amounts for the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers are now set by the Compensation Committee under the Long-Term Incentive Plan described below. Because of Insituform's actual financial performance during 2001, no bonus amounts were paid to the Chief Executive Officer or the other executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2001. Long-term Cash Bonuses. A new Long-Term Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders at the 2001 annual stockholders meeting. The purpose of the Long-Term Incentive Plan is to provide members of senior management of Insituform and its affiliates with long-term incentive compensation based on the level of achievement of financial and other performance criteria. Any performance based 11 compensation can be paid in the form of cash bonuses or by the grant of a benefit (other than stock options) under the 2001 Employee Plan. The Long-Term Incentive Plan is intended to focus the interests of key employees on the key measures of Insituform's success and to reward such employees for achieving such key measures of Insituform's success. The Long-Term Incentive Plan is intended to qualify compensation paid thereunder as "qualified performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under the Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee designates the participants in various incentive programs operated under the Long-Term Incentive Plan for each fiscal year or other period set by the Compensation Committee. Each incentive program can have its own specific performance goals or targets and performance period. The Compensation Committee establishes objective performance goals based upon one or more of the following criteria, individually or in combination, adjusted in such manner as the Compensation Committee determines in its sole discretion: - stock price - earnings per share - sales - free cash flow - return on equity - net income - book value - individual performance - expense management - business unit performance The payment of any award pursuant to an incentive program under the Long-Term Incentive Plan may be reduced by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, and the granting of awards is subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Based on a compensation study and a review of executive officer performance, during the year ended December 31, 2001, the Compensation Committee established the 2001-2003 Long-Term Executive Cash Performance Program, with a performance period from 2001 through 2003. The participants are the Chief Executive Officer, and Messrs. Cook, Slusher and White, each of whom is an Insituform executive officer. The performance goals or measures used are return on equity and EPS growth, with specific weighting and targets set by the Compensation Committee. The target payout for the Chief Executive Officer is $420,000. Stock Options. The primary purpose of Insituform's stock option program is to align the interests of Insituform's key employees, including the executive officers, more closely with the interests of Insituform's stockholders by offering key employees an opportunity to benefit from increases in the market price of the common stock. Insituform's stock option program provides long-term incentives that have enabled Insituform to attract and retain key employees by encouraging their ownership of Insituform's common stock. In connection with attracting new executive management, Insituform has typically authorized the grant of options effective upon commencement of employment. The 2001 Employee Plan and the 2001 Director Plan were approved by the stockholders at the 2001 annual stockholder meeting. Prior to the adoption of the 2001 Employee Plan, options were granted by the Board to Messrs. Hooper and Affholder under the 1992 Director Plan and to the executive officers, other than Mr. Hooper, under the 1992 Employee Plan. Currently, Insituform's executive officers, collectively, hold options under the 1992 Employee Plan and the 2001 Employee Plan and, in the case of Messrs. Hooper and Affholder, under the 1992 Director Plan. During the year ended December 31, 2001, Insituform authorized an option grant under the 1992 Director Plan covering 75,072 shares to the Chief Executive Officer in connection with his annual review for the prior year. In February 2002, as a result of the annual review of performance for 2001, Insituform authorized an option grant under the 2001 Employee Plan to the Chief Executive Officer covering 80,837 shares. Executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, may also defer, at their election, up to specified maximum amounts of compensation by contribution of such amounts to a non-qualified, deferred 12 compensation plan. The plan allows for base pay deferral, when aggregated with 401(k) base pay contributions under the 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan, of up to 15% of base salary, and bonus deferral, in addition to 401(k) bonus contributions under the 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan, of up to 50% of bonus amounts. Under the plan, Insituform will match the first 3% of contributions at a 100% rate, and the next 2% of contributions at a 50% rate (limited to compensation up to $160,000 per annum). Contributions under the plan increase by an amount to match the performance of participant-selected indices. Insituform has the option to actually invest participant contributions in whatever manner it chooses. Subject to claims of creditors, Insituform will pay account balances to participants after termination of employment based on their deferrals into the accounts and the investment performance from their selected indices. Section 162(m) ("Section 162") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), generally limits federal income tax deductions for compensation to the Chief Executive Officer and Insituform's four other most highly compensated officers to $1 million per year, but contains an exception for performance-based compensation that satisfies certain conditions. The Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 2001 Employee Plan are intended to allow Insituform to pay performance based compensation as defined in Section 162. In making compensation decisions, Insituform will consider the net cost of compensation to it and whether it is practicable and consistent with other compensation objectives to qualify Insituform's incentive compensation under the applicable exemption of Section 162. Insituform anticipates that deductibility of compensation payments will be one among a number of factors used in ascertaining appropriate levels or modes of compensation, and that Insituform will make its compensation decision based upon an overall determination of what it believes to be in the best interests of its stockholders. The foregoing report on executive compensation is provided jointly by the Compensation Committee and the Board. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS ---------------------- ------------------- Stephen P. Cortinovis, Chair Anthony W. Hooper, Chair Juanita H. Hinshaw Robert W. Affholder Alfred L. Woods Paul A. Biddelman Thomas N. Kalishman Sheldon Weinig Notwithstanding anything set forth in any of Insituform's previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act 1934 which might incorporate future filings, including this proxy statement, in whole or in part, the preceding report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any such filings. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION During the 2001 fiscal year, Insituform's Compensation Committee consisted of Stephen P. Cortinovis (Chair), Juanita H. Hinshaw and Alfred L. Woods. None of the members of the Compensation Committee has been an officer or employee of Insituform or its subsidiaries. The Board, based on recommendations from the Compensation Committee, establishes executive officer salaries and fringe benefits. Affholder, Inc., Insituform's wholly-owned subsidiary that comprises the tunneling segment, leased four cranes from A-Y-K-E Partnership as of April 11, 2002. A-Y-K-E is a partnership that is controlled by Robert W. Affholder, Insituform's Executive Vice President and a member of the Board of Directors. During the year ended December 31, 2001, Affholder paid A-Y-K-E $453,500 pursuant to equipment leases. This amount represents 31.9% of all lease payments made by Affholder during 2001 and 2.1% of all lease payments made by Insituform in 2001. Affholder owns, or leases under long term operating leases with third party leasing companies, several pieces of tunneling equipment, including cranes and tunnel boring machines. From time to time for specific projects, Affholder will lease additional equipment from a 13 variety of sources, including A-Y-K-E. A-Y-K-E owns various pieces of equipment that are used in the tunneling industry, including cranes and tunnel boring machines. The cranes that are currently under lease are leased under separate lease agreements on terms that are substantially similar to, or better than, those otherwise available to Affholder in the market. The leases are terminable upon 30 days' prior notice by either party. During 2001, A-Y-K-E leased equipment only to Affholder. At Affholder's discretion, Affholder may sublease the cranes to third parties and retain any profit generated from the sublease. REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE The Board's Audit Committee consists of three "independent" (as such term is defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers' listing standards) directors: Paul A. Biddelman (Chair), Juanita H. Hinshaw and Sheldon Weinig. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed Insituform's audited December 31, 2001 financial statements with Insituform's management. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with Insituform's auditors, Arthur Andersen LLP, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, which include the following: - Andersen's responsibility under generally accepted auditing standards - significant accounting policies - management judgments and accounting estimates - significant audit adjustments - other information in documents containing audited financial statements - disagreements with Insituform's management, including accounting principles, scope of audit and disclosures - consultation with other accountants by management - major issues discussed with Insituform's management prior to retention of Andersen - difficulties encountered in performing the audit The Audit Committee received and discussed with Andersen written disclosures and the letter regarding any significant relationships that could impair Andersen's independence (as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1), and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with Andersen's independence. Based upon the above reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that Insituform's December 31, 2001 audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. The Board and the Audit Committee believe that the Audit Committee's current member composition satisfies the rule that governs audit committee composition, including the requirement that all audit committee members are "independent" directors, as that term is defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the National Association of Securities Dealers' listing standards. A copy of the Audit Committee's charter was included as an appendix to Insituform's 2001 proxy statement. Paul A. Biddelman, Chair Juanita H. Hinshaw Sheldon Weinig Notwithstanding anything set forth in any of Insituform's previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act 1934 which might incorporate future filings, including this proxy statement, in whole or in part, the preceding report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any such filings. 14 AUDIT FEES The aggregate fees billed by Andersen for the 2001 fiscal year audit and for the reviews of the financial statements included in Insituform's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q were $360,000. FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES Andersen did not render any services related to financial information systems design and implementation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. ALL OTHER FEES The fees billed for all other services rendered by Andersen for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 were as follows: Tax Related Services........................................ $ 425,000 Audit Related Services...................................... 658,000 Process Improvement Reviews................................. 456,000 Other....................................................... 46,000 ---------- Aggregate Fees Billed for All Other Services................ $1,585,000 ========== Insituform intends to use its independent auditors to provide only audit, audit related and tax related services in the future. INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS Insituform's Board, based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, has selected Andersen, independent certified public accountants, as Insituform's auditors for the review of Insituform's interim financial information during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002, until final selection of Insituform's auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002, based on proposals to be submitted to the Audit Committee. Andersen has audited Insituform's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. One or more representatives of Andersen will attend the annual meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders. PERFORMANCE GRAPH The following performance graph compares the total stockholder return on Insituform's common stock to the S&P 500 Index and a composite peer group index for the past five years. Insituform's peer group index is comprised of the following six companies: - Insituform East Incorporated - Michael Baker Corporation - Granite Construction, Inc. - Fluor Corporation - Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc. - Foster Wheeler Corp. At the end of 2000, Fluor Corporation, a publicly-traded company, completed a reverse spin-off of one of its businesses that resulted in two publicly-traded companies. As a result, Fluor Corporation, the company that now contains the segment relevant to Insituform's peer group index, is only included in the peer group index for 2001, the period following the spin-off. 15 The graph assumes that $100 was invested in Insituform's common stock and each index on December 31, 1996 and that all dividends were reinvested.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Based solely upon a review of copies of reports received by Insituform pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Insituform believes that during 2001 all filing requirements applicable to its directors, officers and 10% stockholders under Section 16(a) were satisfied, except with respect to Thomas N. Kalishman, a member of Insituform's Board. Mr. Kalishman filed one late report in 2001 that contained information relating to one transaction effected in 2001. OTHER MATTERS The Board does not know of any other matters which may be brought before the annual meeting. However, if any other matters are properly presented for action, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy to vote the shares represented thereby in accordance with their judgment on such matters. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS Insituform's by-laws provide that, in order for a stockholder to nominate a candidate for director at a meeting of stockholders, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to Insituform's Secretary. In the case of an annual meeting of stockholders, to be timely, a stockholder's notice must ordinarily be delivered to or mailed and received at Insituform's principal executive office not less than 18 90 days (which for the 2003 annual meeting of stockholders would be March 1, 2003) nor more than 120 days (which for the 2003 annual meeting of stockholders would be January 30, 2003) prior to the anniversary date of the preceding year's annual meeting of stockholders. However, if the date of the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than 30 days compared to the date of the preceding year's annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely made must be received not later than the close of business on the later of: - the ninetieth day prior to the meeting, or - the tenth day following the date on which the date set for the meeting is first announced publicly. Any stockholder filing a notice of nomination must include the information required by Insituform's by-laws, including information about the nominee, as well as the name and address of the stockholder and the number of shares of common stock held by the stockholder. In order for a stockholder to bring other business before an annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to Insituform's Secretary within the time limits described above. The notice must include the information required by Insituform's by-laws, including a description of the proposed business, the reasons therefor and any interest the stockholder has in such business. If a stockholder fails to notify Insituform within the time limits described above of an intent to be present at Insituform's 2002 annual meeting of stockholders in order to present a proposal for a vote, Insituform will have the right to exercise its discretionary authority to vote against the proposal, if presented, without including any information about the proposal in its proxy materials. The foregoing requirements are separate from and in addition to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission that a stockholder must meet to have a proposal included in Insituform's proxy statement. Stockholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2003 annual meeting must be received by Insituform by December 30, 2002 in order to be considered for inclusion in Insituform's proxy statement relating to such meeting.
