Offering of up to 980,019 new shares in H+H International A/S

The Board of Directors of H+H International A/S ("H+H" or “Company”) has today
decided to offer up to 980,019 new shares of a nominal value of DKK 10 through
a private placement at market price using an accelerated book-building process
(the "Offering"). The resolution by the Board of Directors is adopted pursuant
to authorisation from the general meeting in accordance with article 2.4 of
H+H’s articles of association.

The new shares will represent up to 9.99% of the existing registered share
capital of H+H. The new shares will be offered to institutional and
professional investors in Denmark and internationally without pre-emption
rights to H+H’s existing shareholders. This announcement comes in continuation
of Company Announcements No. 312 of 5 February 2015 and No. 314 of 16 March
2015 where H+H International A/S announced the intention to increase the share
capital by up to 9.99% of the company’s share capital after release of the
Company’s annual report for 2014 on 16 March 2015.

Background and use of proceeds
H+H intends to use the net proceeds to strengthen its capital base following
the acquisition of Grupa Prefabet S.A. With the acquisition, the H+H group has
enhanced its position as the second largest manufacturer of aircrete in Poland.

As previously announced, the purchase price was DKK 108 million (enterprise
value). The purchase price will be paid according to an agreed payment schedule
where approximately DKK 40 million was paid at closing on 5 February 2015 and
the remaining amount will be payable in two instalments by mid-2016 (DKK 32
million) and by mid-2017 (DKK 36 million) respectively.

Subscription price and allocation
The subscription price and proceeds will be established by H+H through an
accelerated book-building process. The book-building process and consequently
the subscription starts immediately, and it is expected that the allocation,
the final subscription price and the number of new shares to be issued will be
announced on 18 March 2015, but the book-building may be closed earlier. If the
Offering is oversubscribed, allocation of shares will take place on an
individual basis.

Share capital and new shares
If all 980,019 shares are subscribed for and issued, the issued share capital
of H+H will increase by nominally DKK 9,800,190 from DKK 98,100,000 to DKK
107,900,190, divided into a total of 10,790,019 shares of nominally DKK 10
each. The maximum number of new shares that may be issued represents 9.99% of
H+H's registered share capital before the capital increase and will, if the
Offering is fully subscribed, account for 9.08% of H+H’s registered share
capital upon completion of the capital increase.

The new shares will be issued to bearer, but may be registered in the name of
the holder in H+H’s share register. The new shares will be negotiable
instruments and will in every respect carry the same rights as the existing
shares in the Company. The new shares will carry the right to receive dividends
and other rights in the Company as from the time of registration of the capital
increase with the Danish Business Authority, which is expected to take place on
20 March 2015.

Lock-up
H+H has undertaken a lock-up obligation on customary terms and conditions
according to which the Company, subject to certain exemptions, shall not issue
or publicly announce the intention to issue any shares or other securities
convertible or exchangeable into shares or options to acquire shares or other
securities for a period of 180 days from the listing of the new shares.

Admission for trading and official listing
The new shares will be issued under the temporary ISIN code DK0060631448. No
application for trading and official listing has been filed for the shares
issued under the temporary ISIN code, and the temporary ISIN code will only be
registered with VP Securities A/S. The temporary ISIN code in VP Securities A/S
will be merged with the existing primary ISIN code for the existing shares,
DK0015202451, as soon as possible following registration of the share capital
increase with the Danish Business Authority. The new shares are expected to be
admitted for trading and official listing at Nasdaq Copenhagen on 23 March
2015.
