               IBEROJET CRUCEROS ACQUIRES THE CRUISE-SHIP MISTRAL




Iberojet Cruceros,  cruising branch of the major Spanish tour-operator IBEROJET,
has just  acquired  the  cruise-ship  Mistral,  which had been managed by ALSTOM
since early 2004 following the default of the cruise operator Festival.  Mistral
will be  delivered to Iberojet  Cruceros in March 2005 and start again  cruising
next spring.

The sale of Mistral is an important step for ALSTOM in reducing the risks linked
with past vendor financing of some ships. The agreement with Iberojet is in line
with the market price assumptions used by ALSTOM to estimate its exposure.

               EXCHANGE OFFER FOR CERTAIN OF ALSTOM's BONDHOLDERS

ALSTOM intends to launch an exchange offer on its 650 million bonds due 26 July
2006  and its  250  million  auction  rate  coupon  subordinated  notes  due 29
September 2006 for new Euro fixed rate unsubordinated notes due 2010.


The exchange offer period is expected to be open to  institutional  investors in
selected jurisdictions (outside the United States) from 8 February 2005 until 15
February 2005 and to individual investors (in France, Luxembourg and Switzerland
only)  from  17  February  2005  until  24  February  2005.  Subject  to  market
conditions,  ALSTOM may decide to issue  additional  notes  which would have the
same terms and conditions and form part of the same issue as the new notes.

Patrick Kron, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ALSTOM, declared:

"This exchange offer to our bondholders is part of ALSTOM's strategy to optimise
its debt  maturity  profile,  while taking  advantage of the current  favourable
market conditions."
