  2. Disclaimer Disclaimer Not for distribution in the United States, Canada, Australia or Japan Important information This communication does not constitute an offer to purchase or exchange or the solicitation of an offer to sell or exchange any securities of Lafarge or an offer to sell or exchange or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange any securities of Holcim and it does not constitute an offering prospectus within the meaning of article 652a or article 1156 of the Swiss Code of Obligations or a listing prospectus within the meaning of the listing rules of the SIX Swiss Exchange. Investors must rely on their own evaluation of Holcim and its securities, including the merits and risks involved. Nothing contained herein is, or shall be relied on as, a promise or representation as to the future performance of Lafarge or Holcim. Pursuant to French regulations, the documentation with respect to the exchange offer which, if filed, will state the terms and conditions of the offer, and the listing prospectus regarding the envisaged admission to trading of Holcim shares on Euronext Paris will be subject to the review by the French Market Authority (AMF). Investors and shareholders in France are strongly advised to read, if and when they become available, the prospectus and related exchange offer materials regarding the exchange offer and listing of Holcim shares referenced in this communication, as well as any amendments and supplements to those documents as they will contain important information regarding Lafarge, Holcim, the contemplated transactions and related matters. The transaction is notably subject to definitive execution of definitive documentation and obtaining of required regulatory and other customary authorisations. The exchange offer would only be filed after such and other conditions have been fulfilled. These materials must not be published, released or distributed, directly or indirectly, in the United States, Canada, Japan or Australia or any other jurisdiction where the distribution of such information is restricted by law. This communication does not constitute an offer of or solicitation to purchase or otherwise acquire securities in the United States. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The shares of Holcim mentioned herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act. The exchange offer will not be open to the public in the United States or any jurisdiction other than France where action to permit the offer is required. The release, publication or distribution of these materials in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by laws or regulations. Therefore, persons in such jurisdictions into which these materials are released, published or distributed must inform themselves about and comply with such laws or regulations. Side-by-Side and Combined Financials This communication contains side-by-side and combined financials (as published by Holcim and Lafarge, i.e. Pre-IFRS 11 for Lafarge) which are presented for illustration purposes only and have not been adjusted for accounting differences nor purchase accounting. In this document, euro amounts have been translated into Swiss francs at the rate of 1.223 per euro, and Swiss franc amounts have been translated into euros as the rate of 0.818 per Swiss Franc. Certain numerical figures set out in this document have been subject to rounding adjustments and, as a result, this may vary slightly from the actual arithmetic totals. Forward-Looking Statements This communication contains forward-looking information and statements about Holcim, Lafarge and their combined businesses after completion of the proposed transaction that have not been audited or independently verified. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. These statements include financial projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions, statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations with respect to future operations, products and services, and statements regarding future performance and synergies. Forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words “expect”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “intends”, “estimates” and similar expressions. Although the managements of Holcim and Lafarge believe that the expectations reflected in such forward- looking statements are reasonable, investors and holders of Holcim and Lafarge shares are cautioned that forward-looking information and statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of Holcim and Lafarge, that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. The combined company may not realize the full benefits of the transaction, including the synergies, cost savings or growth opportunities that we expect within the anticipated time frame or at all. 2
