The number of options exercised also includes a dividend equivalent in addition to the options initially granted in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

No new shares were issued in respect of these transactions with shares being transferred to the individuals from the Forterra Employee Benefit Trust.

The above notification is intended to satisfy the Company's obligations under Article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulations.
