The change in capital structure
	Ordinary Shares	Savings shares	Total Shares	Buzzi Family stake
Current	165,349,149	40,711,949	206,061,098	58.3%
After the conversion	192,626,155	-	192,626,155	51.5%

Saving Shares Conversion – The Rationale

Untangle the Governance

A single class of shares, with the same rights and the same price, shall align the rights of all shareholders ("one share – one vote" rule)

More liquidity and higher market cap for common shares after conversion

Improve P/E ratio

EPS accretive transaction that should lead to an increase in the share price

Streamline and simplify the capital structure

Capital structure rationalization and simplification mean less corporate obbligations and costs associated with the existence of different class of shares

Market-friendly approach

The conversion reflects a trend that is clearly visible in the Italian market and has been often solicited by the investors

• RATIONALE
• the Southeast region (in terms of cement volumes sold) 2. Establish a relevant position in the Southeast: the largest cement

1. Increase market penetration: following the acquisition of CRH's

th largest producer in the country and in

• market in Brazil (cement consumption of about 25 mt per year) with significant potential
• 3. Entry point in the State of Rio De Janeiro
• 4. Interesting cost synergy potential

operations, BCPAR becoming the 4

Strategic Move: BCPAR strenghthens its presence in Brazil - 2

• On 26 Oct, the Brazilian Companhia Nacional de Cimento (CNC), a wholly owned subsidiary of BCPAR, company in which Buzzi Unicem holds 50% of the share capital in a joint venture with Grupo Ricardo Brennand, has signed a purchase agreement for the businesses of the CRH group operating in Brazil
• The CRH companies operating in Brazil own three full-cycle cement plants and two grinding plants, all of them located in the South-East area of the country
• The parties have agreed a price of US\$ 218 million, subject to adjustments based on the net financial situation at the closing date, and the contract includes the usual guarantees provided for this type of transaction
• Buzzi Unicem intervenes in the transaction in order to ensure its success, in particular by financing CNC, on an arm's length basis, for a maximum amount equal to the expected consideration. This financial support may occur by using cash as well as credit lines already available
• Buzzi Unicem and Grupo Ricardo Brennand have agreed on some changes to the existing shareholders' agreements, in order to consider the new scope of consolidation. However, the changes do not have significant impacts on the current structure of the pacts
