During the course of this presentation, we may make forward-looking statements or provide forward-looking information. All statements
that address expectations or projections about the future, including with respect to our expected acquisition of Lafarge North America’s

“expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “projects,” and “indicates.” Although they reflect our current
expectations, these statements are not guarantees of future performance, but involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions
that are difficult to predict, including those described in “Risk Factors” in our prospectus dated March 11, 2015 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC. Some of the
factors that may cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking
statements include, but are not necessarily limited to, general economic conditions, competitive pressures, the commodity nature of our
products and their price movements, raw material costs and availability, and the ability to retain key employees. We do not undertake to
update any forward-looking statements as a result of future developments or new information.
