The Manager ASX Market Announcements Office ASX Limited Level 4 Exchange Centre 20 Bridge Street Sydney NSW 2000

Dear Sir/Madam

Takeover Offer by Network Investment Holdings Pty Limited in relation to Boral Limited

Seven Group Holdings Limited (ACN 142 003 469) (ASX: SVW) (SGH) refers to the off-market takeover offer (the Offer) by the Group for all of the ordinary shares in Boral Limited (ACN 008 421 761) (ASX:BLD) (Boral).

We enclose an updated substantial holder notice dated today. As set out in that notice, SGH has now received acceptances under the Offer such that its aggregate interest in Boral Shares is up to 52.65%.

This includes an economic interest of up to 3.33% held through an equity swap transaction. SGH notes that this arrangement does not give SGH voting power in Boral shares, and accordingly SGH's voting power in Boral shares is currently 49.32%.

SGH considers it is likely that its voting power will exceed 50% before the scheduled close of the Offer, being 7.00pm (Sydney time) today. If this occurs, the Offer will be automatically extended for 14 days pursuant to section 624 of the Corporations Act.

SGH looks forward to re-engaging with the Boral board to collectively drive Boral's renewed strategy and maximise value for all shareholders.

SGH confirms that it will support a proposal that retains a majority of independent directors on the Boral board.

Having a majority of independent directors has been an important feature of SGH's corporate governance for many years, helping to drive value for the benefit of all SGH shareholders, and it looks forward to following the same approach for Boral.

Yours sincerely

Warren Coatsworth Company Secretary Encl
