AMENDMENTS TO SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAMME SECTION B ISSUER On page 12 of the Prospectus, Section B.4b for Holcim Ltd as Issuer shall be deleted and replaced with the below: B.4b A description of any known trends affecting the Issuer and the industries in which it operates: For 2014, Holcim Ltd and its consolidated subsidiaries as a whole (the Group ) expects the global economy to show another year of uneven performance. Construction markets in Europe are expected to have reached the bottom with slow recovery in sight. North American markets are expected to continue to benefit from a further recovery. Latin America could continue to face uncertainties in Argentina but is expected to show slight growth in 2014. The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow although at a comparatively slower pace than experienced in recent years. Africa Middle East is expected to gradually improve. The Group expects cement volumes to increase in all Group regions in 2014. Aggregate volumes are expected to remain flat overall as increases in Asia Pacific, Europe, North America and Africa Middle East are expected to be offset by reduced volumes in Latin America. In ready-mix concrete, volumes are expected to increase in most regions with the exception of Europe and Latin America. The Group expects that organic growth in operating profit can be achieved in 2014. The ongoing focus on the cost base coupled with all the benefits expected from a programme launched in May 2012 that is intended to reinforce the Group s market and cost leadership (the Holcim Leadership Journey ) are intended to lead to a further expansion in operating margins in 2014.

Issuer, there has been no significant change in the financial or trading position of Holcim Ltd since 30 June 2014. AMENDMENTS TO RECENT DEVELOPMENTS SINCE 31 DECEMBER 2013 The wording in the section titled Recent Developments since 31 December 2013 on page 161 of the Prospectus shall be deemed deleted and replaced with the following wording: On 7 April 2014, the Group announced that it intends to enter into a merger of equals with Lafarge to create LafargeHolcim and on 7 July 2014 has entered into a combination agreement in this respect. The proposed combination (the Combination ) would be structured as a public offer filed by Holcim Ltd for all outstanding shares of Lafarge on the basis of a 1 for 1 exchange ratio with an agreement to have equal dividends on a per share basis between announcement and completion. LafargeHolcim would be listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange in Zurich and Euronext in Paris. It would continue to be domiciled in Switzerland and would operate under the local governance rules. The Board of Directors would be composed with equal numbers of Holcim and Lafarge directors with Wolfgang Reitzle as designated Chairman, Bruno Lafont as CEO and Thomas Aebischer as CFO. The Executive Committee of LafargeHolcim would be formed by members from both companies. The Combination is conditional upon, amongst other things, execution of definitive documentation, approval of the shareholders of Holcim Ltd and obtaining required approvals from the relevant regulatory authorities and other customary authorisations and is expected to be completed by the end of the first half of 2015, subject to obtaining regulatory approvals. On 7 July 2014, the Group further announced a list of proposed divestments in order to anticipate the potential requirements of competition authorities in the context of the Combination. The Group is proposing asset disposals in Brazil, Canada, France, Hungary, Mauritius, and Serbia. The Group will continue to consider whether divestments are necessary where there might be business overlaps with Lafarge or depending on regulatory requirements. The proposed divestments are subject to further review and discussions with the regulatory authorities and to the agreement of business partners where relevant. AMENDMENTS TO RECENT TRENDS, UNCERTAINTIES AND DEMANDS The wording in the section titled Recent trends, uncertainties and demands on page 162 of the Prospectus shall be deemed deleted and replaced with the following wording: For 2014, the Group expects the global economy to show another year of uneven performance. Construction markets in Europe are expected to have reached the bottom with slow recovery in sight. North American markets are expected to continue to benefit from a further recovery. Latin America could continue to face uncertainties in Argentina but is expected to show slight growth in 2014. The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow although at a comparatively slower pace than experienced in recent years. Africa Middle East is expected to gradually improve. The Group expects cement volumes to increase in all Group regions in 2014. Aggregate volumes are expected to remain flat overall as increases in Asia Pacific, Europe, North America and Africa Middle East are expected to be offset by reduced volumes in Latin America. In ready-mix concrete, volumes are expected to increase in most regions with the exception of Europe and Latin America. The Group expects that organic growth in operating profit can be achieved in 2014. The ongoing focus on the cost base coupled with all the benefits expected from the Holcim Leadership Journey are intended to lead to a further expansion in operating margins in 2014. AMENDMENTS TO COMPETITION PROCEEDINGS The wording in the section titled Australia on page 169 of the Prospectus shall be deemed deleted and replaced with the following wording: 14

In September 2008, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission ( ACCC ) filed proceedings against Cement Australia Holdings Pty Ltd, in which the Group holds a 50 per cent. interest, and against three related companies of Cement Australia Holdings Pty Ltd in the Federal Court, Brisbane, and also against the managing director and the business manager of the fly ash business for alleged breaches of the Trade Practices Act 1974. The ACCC has alleged two breaches in relation to entering into and amending a contract to acquire fly ash from Millmerran Power Station in south east Queensland. The ACCC has alleged that Cement Australia Holdings Pty Ltd and related companies had no commercial need for the contracted fly ash from Millmerran Power Station, and by contracting for the fly ash, took advantage of their market power for the purpose of preventing entry and competitive conduct in the relevant concrete-grade fly ash market. On 10 September 2013, the Federal Court in Brisbane decided that the named respondents had breached section 45 of the Australian Competition and Consumer Act (the ACCA ), that outlaws contracts or arrangements that lessen competition. However, the Federal Court could not find any breach of section 46 of the ACCA regarding the provisions relating to the abuse of market power. The Federal Court reserved its decision on costs and no decision was made on any penalties. The case centres on alleged events dating back to 2002. The Federal Court formalised the interim orders on 28 February 2014. A hearing in relation to penalties will be held on a date to be fixed in August 2014 with a decision on penalties likely to be delivered in 2015. It is at this time that time will begin to run in relation to any appeal. The wording in the section titled Brazil on page 169 of the Prospectus shall be deemed deleted and replaced with the following wording: In 2006, the Secretariat of Economic Law of the Ministry of Justice ( SDE ) initiated a formal administrative investigation against the major Brazilian cement companies, including Holcim (Brasil) S.A., regarding an alleged price fixing, division of market and the blocking of new competitors entering the relevant market. On 10 November 2011, the SDE published a ruling and recommended that the Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica ( CADE ) shall convict nearly all of the investigated cement companies, including Holcim (Brasil) S.A., as well as a number of associations and individual persons. On 28 May 2014, CADE pronounced a unanimous condemnation against six companies, six individuals, and three associations with fines totalling BLR 3.1 billion. CADE also ordered the divestment of plants, prohibition of carrying specific operations in the cement and concrete sector until 2019 and other measures. Holcim (Brasil) S.A. requested clarification in respect of some items of the condemnation on 7 July 2014. Following CADE s clarifications, the company intends to pursue available means to protect its legal position. The wording in the section titled Germany on page 170 of the Prospectus shall be deemed deleted and replaced with the following wording: On 26 June 2009, the Higher Regional Court of Düsseldorf issued a verdict and reduced the fine for Holcim (Deutschland) AG from EUR 74.0 million (as issued by the Federal Cartel Office FCO, in 2003) to EUR 14.6 million for alleged price fixing and quota fixing between at least 1997 and 2001 in the cement sector. Due to German procedural law, Holcim (Deutschland) AG appealed the ruling on 3 July 2009, in order to analyse the grounds for the verdict in detail. On 8 April 2013, the German Supreme Court ruled on the appeal and reduced the fine for Holcim (Deutschland) AG from EUR 14.6 million to EUR 13.9 million. Moreover, following the ruling by the FCO, the Belgian company Cartel Damages Claims SA ( CDC ), a private organisation that purchases claims from plaintiffs and pursues those claims against alleged cartel participants, has lodged a claim before the Landgericht Düsseldorf against six major German cement producers (including Holcim (Deutschland) AG) on behalf of cement customers for an aggregate amount of EUR 176.0 million, the precise amount to be fixed by the competent court. CDC alleges that cement customers paid non-competitive prices for cement during the period from at least 1993-2002. On 17 15

December 2013, the Landgericht Düsseldorf has dismissed the CDC claim against six major German cement producers in its entirety. The CDC appealed the decision. The wording in the section titled Hungary on page 171 of the Prospectus shall be deemed deleted and replaced with the following wording: In June 2011, the Hungarian Competition Office ( GVH ) initiated an investigation into the ready-mix concrete industry in the Budapest area by conducting searches in various ready mix concrete plants. While none of Holcim s plants or other facilities were searched, Holcim Hungária Zrt. was a named respondent in this investigation. Holcim Hungaria Zrt. s legal successor is party to the proceeding and respondent to the statement of objections issued by the GVH on 20 January 2014. By a decision dated 1 July 2014, the GVH confirmed its accusations regarding the Budapest market (the alleged price fixing and market sharing between 2005 and 2007) and imposed a total fine of HUF 2.7 billion on the respondents. Holcim Hungaria Zrt. s legal successor was fined HUF 550 million. It will pursue available means to protect its legal position. The wording in the section titled India on page 171 of the Prospectus shall be deemed deleted and replaced with the following wording: On 20 December 2007, the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission ( MRTPC ) issued a cease and desist order against Group companies ACC Limited and Ambuja Cements Ltd., thirty-nine other cement producers and the Indian Cement Manufacturers Association ( CMA ) alleging that they engaged in cartelisation and manipulation of cement prices between February and April of 1990. Appeals were submitted against the order and the matter is now pending before the Supreme Court. No fines were imposed by the MRTPC. On 29 February 2008, the MRTPC issued a cease and desist order against nine cement companies, including ACC Limited, concerning an alleged concerted price increase in Jabalpur in 2001. Appeals were submitted against the order and the matter is now pending before the Supreme Court. No fines were imposed by the MRTPC. In August 2010, the Competition Commission of India ( CCI ) initiated an investigation in India against the CMA and eleven cement manufacturers, including ACC Limited and Ambuja Cements Ltd. In June 2012 the CCI issued an order and imposed fines against eleven cement producers, two of them being ACC Limited and Ambuja Cements Ltd. ACC Limited and Ambuja Cements Ltd. have been fined approximately INR 11.5 billion and INR 11.6 billion, respectively. Each company had filed an appeal together with an interim application for stay of penalty before the Competition Appellate Tribunal ( CAT ). The CAT subsequently granted each application for stay subject to a deposit by each company of 10 per cent. of the penalty amount with which they had been respectively fined. The appeal proceedings are ongoing. On 2 January 2014, the CCI passed a prima facie order directing an investigation to be conducted on alleged price fixing and market allocation on several cement companies in India in violation of the Competition Act. In mid May 2014 ACC Limited and Ambuja Cements Ltd. duly submitted their answers to the CCI requests for information.
