After a thorough analysis, HeidelbergCement has decided to refrain from the
ongoing bidding process for the assets offered for sale of Lafarge and
Holcim in the frame of its merger proceedings. The company intends to use
the anticipated proceeds from the announced sale of its building products
business in North America and United Kingdom for debt reduction and for its
own high quality growth projects.
