What is Amrize and why is Holcim separating the Amrize Business and distributing Company Shares? | As of the date of this information statement, the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Following the Spin-off, the Company will hold the assets and liabilities related to the Amrize Business. The Separation and the Distribution are intended to provide you with equity investments in two independent, publicly traded companies, each of which will be able to focus on its respective businesses. We and Holcim believe that the Spin-off will result in enhanced long-term performance of each business for the reasons discussed in the section of this information statement entitled “The Separation and Distribution—Reasons for the Spin-off.” | ||
Why are you receiving this document? | Parent is making this document available to you because you are a holder of Parent Shares. This document will help you understand how the Spin-off will affect your investment in Parent and the value of your Company Shares after the Spin-off. | ||
How will the Spin-off work? | To effect the Spin-off, Holcim will undertake a series of internal reorganization transactions that will result in the Company owning and operating the Amrize Business and Parent continuing to own and operate the Holcim Business. Parent will then cause UBS AG, as the Swiss settlement agent, to effect the Distribution by distributing Company Shares to holders of Parent Shares on a pro rata basis as a dividend-in-kind. Immediately following the completion of the Spin-off, the Company will be an independent, publicly traded company holding the Amrize Business, and Parent will not own any Company Shares. For a more detailed description, see the section of this information statement entitled “The Separation and Distribution.” | ||
Why is the Spin-off structured as a Distribution? | Parent believes that the Distribution, together with certain internal reorganization transactions undertaken in anticipation of the Distribution, which Parent intends to be tax-free to holders of Parent Shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes and tax-neutral to holders of Parent Shares for Swiss tax purposes, is an efficient way to separate the Amrize Business in a manner that is expected to create long-term benefits and value for Parent, the Company and their respective shareholders. Following the Spin-off, Parent will not retain any ownership interest in us. | ||
What will be distributed in the Distribution? | Each holder of Parent Shares (other than Parent) will receive one Company Share for each Parent Share held by such holder as of the close of business on the Cum-Dividend Date. Any excess Company Shares held by Parent which will not be distributed to holders of Parent Shares as set forth in the preceding sentence will be contributed by Parent to the Company in connection with the Separation prior to the Spin-off and will be held by the Company at the time of the Spin-off. Following the completion of the Spin-off, Parent will not own any Company Shares. Your proportionate interest in Parent will not change as a result of the Distribution. For a more detailed description, see the section of this information statement entitled “The Separation and Distribution.” | ||
What is the Cum-Dividend Date for the Distribution? | The Cum-Dividend Date for the Distribution is June 20, 2025. | ||
When will the Distribution occur? | The Ex-Dividend Date is June 23, 2025. We expect that Company Shares will commence trading on a standalone basis on NYSE at 9:30 a.m., New York City time, and on SIX at 9:00 a.m., Zurich time, on the Ex-Dividend Date. If you hold your Parent Shares in book-entry form with a custodian bank or broker through SIX SIS, we expect that your bank or broker will credit your custody account with the number of Company Shares you are entitled to | ||
receive in the Distribution on or after the Ex-Dividend Date, at which time you should be able to commence trading your Company Shares. However, no assurance can be provided as to the timing of the Distribution or that all conditions to the Distribution will be satisfied. | |||
Is a shareholder vote required to approve the Spin-off? | Yes. Approval of certain matters required for the Distribution was sought, and obtained, from the holders of Parent Shares at the Holcim Annual General Meeting 2025. In connection with the Holcim Annual General Meeting 2025, Parent published the Holcim Shareholder Meeting Materials on April 14, 2025. The Holcim Shareholder Meeting Materials describe the procedures for voting Parent Shares and other details regarding the Holcim Annual General Meeting 2025. As a result, this information statement does not contain a proxy and is not intended to constitute solicitation material under the U.S. federal securities laws. | ||
What do shareholders need to do to participate in the Distribution? | You will not be required to make any payment or surrender or exchange your Parent Shares or take any other action to receive Company Shares, except as described in “The Separation and Distribution—When and How You Will Receive Company Shares—Holders of Parent Shares in Physical Certificated Form” with respect to holders of physical certificates representing Parent Shares. However, you are urged to read this entire information statement carefully. | ||
Will you receive physical certificates representing Company Shares following the Spin-off? | No. All holders of physical certificates representing Parent Shares duly registered in the Parent Share Register (as defined in “The Separation and Distribution—Registration in the Company Share Register”) who have previously provided a valid mailing address to Parent will be sent a notice with instructions on how to receive Company Shares in the Distribution. See “The Separation and Distribution—When and How You Will Receive Company Shares—Holders of Parent Shares in Physical Certificated Form.” | ||
How many Company Shares will you receive in the Distribution? | Each holder of Parent Shares (other than Parent) will receive one Company Share for each Parent Share held by such holder as of the close of business on the Cum-Dividend Date. Immediately following the Spin-off, we expect to have 566,875,513 Company Shares issued and approximately 552,735,960 Company Shares outstanding. See “The Separation and Distribution—Results of the Spin-off.” | ||
Will the Company issue fractional shares in the Distribution? | No. The Company will not issue fractional Company Shares in the Distribution. | ||
What are the conditions to the Distribution? | Under Swiss law and Parent’s articles of incorporation, the approval of holders of a majority of Parent Shares represented at the Holcim Annual General Meeting 2025 is required to effect the Distribution. The resolution proposed at the Holcim Annual General Meeting 2025, as set forth in the Holcim Shareholder Meeting Materials, requires that the following conditions are satisfied or waived by the Parent Board of Directors prior to consummation of the Distribution: • The SEC will have declared effective the registration statement of which this information statement is a part, and no stop order relating to the registration statement will be in effect, and no proceedings for that purpose will be pending before or threatened by the SEC. • NYSE will have approved the listing of Company Shares, and SIX will have approved the additional listing of Company Shares subject to technical deliverables as customarily required. • The registration statement, of which this information statement is a part, will have been approved by the SIX Prospectus Office for the purpose of | ||
the Swiss listing in accordance with Article 54 of the FinSA. • Parent will have received the Tax Opinion. • All actions, filings, permits, registrations and consents necessary or appropriate under applicable federal, state or other securities laws or “blue sky” laws and the rules and regulations thereunder will have been taken or made and, where applicable, become effective or accepted. • No order, injunction or decree issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Separation, Distribution or any of the related transactions will be in effect, and no other event outside the control of Parent shall have occurred or failed to occur that prevents the consummation of the Spin-off. • No event or development shall have occurred or exist as of the Ex-Dividend Date that, in the reasonable judgment of the Parent Board of Directors, would result in the Separation, the Distribution or the other related transactions having a material adverse effect (including, but not limited to, material adverse tax consequences or risks) on Parent or its shareholders. Neither we nor Parent can assure you that any or all of these conditions will be satisfied. While the Parent Board of Directors does not currently intend to waive any of the conditions to the Distribution described in this information statement, the Parent Board of Directors may waive any conditions to the Distribution to the extent legally permissible if such waiver is, in the judgment of the Parent Board of Directors, in the best interest of Parent and its shareholders. | |||
Can Parent decide to cancel the Distribution even if all the conditions have been met? | No. Under Swiss law, the power and authority to authorize the distribution of a dividend falls within the sole competence of the shareholders of the relevant company acting pursuant to a shareholders’ meeting and may not be delegated to a company’s board of directors. The Distribution was approved by holders of a majority of Parent Shares represented at the Holcim Annual General Meeting 2025, and assuming the conditions to the Distribution set forth in the resolution of the Holcim Annual General Meeting 2025 are satisfied or waived by the Parent Board of Directors, Parent will be obligated to effect the Distribution. See “The Separation and Distribution—Conditions to the Distribution.” | ||
What if you want to sell your Parent Shares or Company Shares? | You should consult with your financial advisors, such as your stockbroker, bank or tax advisor. | ||
Will there be any “when-issued” trading of Company Shares or any “ex-distribution” trading of Parent Shares? | There will not be any trading of Company Shares on a “when-issued” basis or any “ex-distribution” trading of Parent Shares before the Ex-Dividend Date. This means that Company Shares will not trade separately from Parent Shares prior to the Ex-Dividend Date and any Parent Shares purchased or sold up to the close of business on the Cum-Dividend Date will include the right to receive Company Shares in the Distribution. See “The Separation and Distribution—No When-Issued Trading or Ex-Distribution Trading.” | ||
Where will you be able to trade Company Shares? | We have received approval to list Company Shares on NYSE under the symbol “AMRZ.” We have also received approval to list Company Shares on SIX subject to technical deliverables as customarily required. We expect that Company Shares will commence trading on a standalone basis on NYSE at 9:30 a.m., New York City time, and on SIX at 9:00 a.m., Zurich time, on the Ex-Dividend Date. | ||
In which currency will the Company Shares trade? | Company Shares will trade in U.S. dollars on NYSE and in Swiss francs on SIX. You are free to choose to trade Company Shares on either stock exchange in the respective currency, subject to the arrangements with your bank or broker. | ||
What will happen to the listing of Parent Shares? | Parent Shares will continue to trade on SIX under the symbol “HOLN.” | ||
Will the number of Parent Shares that you own change as a result of the Distribution? | No. The number of Parent Shares that you own will not change as a result of the Distribution. | ||
What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Spin-off? | So long as the Distribution, together with certain internal reorganization transactions undertaken in anticipation of the Distribution, qualifies as a tax-free transaction under Section 355, Section 368(a)(1)(D) and related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, no gain or loss will be recognized by you for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and no amount will be included in your income for U.S. federal income tax purposes, upon the receipt of Company Shares pursuant to the Distribution. Parent has requested and received the IRS Ruling. The IRS Ruling does not address all of the requirements relevant to the qualification of the Distribution, together with certain internal reorganization transactions undertaken in anticipation of the Distribution, as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For more information regarding the potential U.S. federal income tax consequences to us, to Parent and to you, see the section of this information statement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution.” You should consult your tax advisor as to the particular consequences of the Distribution to you, including the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state and local, Swiss and any foreign, tax laws. | ||
What are the Swiss tax consequences of the Spin-off? | The Swiss Federal Tax Administration and the tax administration of the Canton of Zug have considered the tax consequences of the Separation, the Distribution and certain related transactions under applicable Swiss tax law and provided written confirmations that the Separation, the Distribution and certain related transactions generally qualify as a tax-neutral restructuring. Accordingly, as long as the conditions in the Swiss Tax Rulings are satisfied, the Distribution will not be subject to Swiss withholding tax and should generally be tax-neutral for the purposes of Swiss federal, cantonal and communal income tax. See “Material Swiss Tax Consequences of the Spin-off—Swiss Withholding Tax” and “Material Swiss Tax Consequences of the Spin-off—Swiss Income Taxes.” | ||
What are the material state or local income tax consequences of the Distribution? | Neither the Tax Opinion nor the IRS Ruling addresses the state or local income tax consequences of the Distribution. You should consult your tax advisor about the particular state and local tax consequences of the Distribution to you, which consequences may differ from those described in the sections of this information statement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution” and “Material Swiss Tax Consequences of the Spin-off.” Neither the Tax Opinion nor the IRS Ruling addresses any tax consequences of the Distribution other than U.S. federal income tax consequences. | ||
How will you determine your tax basis in the Company Shares you receive in the Distribution? | Assuming that the Distribution is tax-free to holders of Parent Shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes, your aggregate tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes in your Parent Shares held by you immediately prior to the Distribution will be allocated between your Parent Shares and Company Shares that you receive in the Distribution in proportion to the relative fair market values of each immediately following the Distribution. Holcim will provide you with | ||
information to enable you to compute your tax basis in both Parent Shares and Company Shares. This information will be posted on Holcim’s website following the Ex-Dividend Date. You should consult your tax advisor about the particular consequences of the Spin-off to you, including a situation where you have purchased Parent Shares at different times or for different amounts and the application of state, local, Swiss and other foreign tax laws. For a more detailed description, see the sections of this information statement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution.” | |||
What will our relationship be with Holcim following the Spin-off? | Following the completion of the Spin-off, Parent and the Company will be independent, publicly traded companies. Parent will not own any Company Shares, and we expect that the relationship between Amrize and Holcim will be governed by, among others, a Separation and Distribution Agreement and Ancillary Agreements. These agreements will provide for the allocation between us and Holcim of Holcim’s and our assets, employees, liabilities and obligations (including with respect to employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) attributable to periods prior to, at and after the Spin-off, and govern the relationship between Amrize and Holcim for certain commercial matters (including manufacturing, supply and insurance) following the Spin-off. For additional information regarding these agreements, see the sections of this information statement entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Spin-off” and “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.” | ||
Will you have appraisal rights in connection with the Distribution? | No. Holders of Parent Shares are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the Distribution. | ||
Are there risks associated with owning Company Shares? | Yes. Ownership of Company Shares is subject to both general and specific risks relating to the Amrize Business, the industry in which we operate, our ongoing contractual relationships with Holcim and our status as an independent, publicly traded company. Ownership of Company Shares is also subject to risks relating to the Spin-off, including that following the Spin-off, the Amrize Business will be less diversified than Holcim’s business prior to the Spin-off. These risks are described in the section of this information statement entitled “Risk Factors.” You are encouraged to read that section carefully. | ||
Who will manage Amrize after the Spin-off? | Following the Spin-off, we will be led by Jan Philipp Jenisch, who will be our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. For more information regarding our expected executive officers and other members of our management team, see the section of this information statement entitled “Management.” | ||
What will Amrize’s dividend policy be after the Spin-off? | While we expect to pay dividends, it will (within the boundaries of Swiss law) fall within the discretion of our Board of Directors to propose to shareholders the timing and amount of any future dividends on Company Shares. There can be no assurance that we will pay or declare dividends in the future. See “Dividend Policy.” | ||
What will happen to Parent Equity Awards in connection with the Spin-off? | The Employee Matters Agreement (as defined in “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions”) will provide for the treatment of performance-based restricted share units (“PSUs”) and performance-based vesting stock options (“PSOs”) that are outstanding on the Ex-Dividend Date. For each holder of PSUs granted under Parent’s Performance Share Plan (“Parent PSUs”) and PSOs granted under Parent’s Share Option Plan (“Parent PSOs” and, together | ||
with Parent PSUs, “Parent Equity Awards”), the intent is to maintain the economic value of that holder’s Parent Equity Awards before and after the Ex-Dividend Date. For individuals employed by Amrize on the Ex-Dividend Date (“Amrize Employees”), the Parent Equity Awards will be converted into equity awards denominated in Company Shares. For individuals employed by Parent or any of its affiliates (excluding the Company and its subsidiaries) on the Ex-Dividend Date, the Parent Equity Awards will remain Parent Equity Awards, except that certain changes to the evaluation of the performance-based vesting conditions will apply from and after the Ex-Dividend Date. See “The Separation and Distribution—Treatment of Parent Equity Awards.” | |||
Will the Distribution affect the market price of Parent Shares? | As a result of the Distribution, we expect the trading price of Parent Shares to be different from the trading price of Parent Shares immediately prior to the Distribution because the trading price of Parent Shares will no longer reflect the combined value of the businesses. Furthermore, until the market has fully analyzed the value of Parent without the Amrize Business, the price of Parent Shares may fluctuate. There can be no assurance that, following the Spin-off, the combined value of Parent Shares and Company Shares (adjusting for the Distribution Ratio) will equal or exceed what the value of Parent Shares would have been in the absence of the Distribution. | ||
Will Amrize incur any debt prior to or at the time of the Distribution? | Yes. In connection with the Spin-off, we have entered into certain financing arrangements including a revolving credit facility, a bridge loan facility, a commercial paper program and bond issuances. For more information, see “The Separation and Distribution—Debt Financing Transactions” and “Description of Certain Indebtedness.” We have also launched a series of debt-for-debt exchange offers. See “Description of Certain Indebtedness—Debt-for-Debt Exchange Offers.” There is no certainty that we will be able to consummate the debt-for-debt exchange offers prior to the completion of the Spin-off, or at all, or the extent to which holders of the subject debt securities will tender such securities. | ||
Who will be the transfer agent and registrar for Company Shares? | UBS AG will serve as the Swiss settlement agent in connection with the Distribution. Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare USA”) will serve as the transfer agent and registrar for Company Shares following the Distribution.

• | greater strategic focus of financial resources and management’s efforts; |
• | direct and differentiated access to capital resources; |
• | value creation by offering separate investment opportunities; |
• | improved ability to use stock as an acquisition currency; and |
• | improved management incentive tools. |
• | requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make interest payments on this debt; |
• | making it more difficult for us to satisfy debt and other obligations; |
• | increasing the risk of a future credit ratings downgrade of our debt, which could increase future debt costs and limit the future availability of debt financing; |
• | increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; |
• | reducing the cash flow available to fund capital expenditures and grow our business; |
• | limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry; |
• | placing us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors that may not be as highly leveraged with debt; and |
• | limiting our ability to pay cash dividends or repurchase Company Shares. |
• | Greater strategic focus of financial resources and management’s efforts. The Amrize Business historically exhibited different financial and operating characteristics than the Holcim Business. In particular, unlike the Holcim Business, we generate substantially all of our revenues from the United States and Canada. Owing to this and other factors, we and Holcim’s other businesses employ different capital expenditure and acquisition strategies. Consequently, Parent has determined that its current structure may not be optimized to design and implement the distinct strategies necessary to operate its businesses in a manner that maximizes the long-term value of each business. The Company and Parent believe that our respective management resources would be more efficiently utilized if Parent’s management concentrated solely on the Holcim Business and our management concentrated solely on the Amrize Business. The Spin-off will result in dedicated, independent management for each of the businesses and enable the respective management teams to adopt strategies and pursue objectives specific to their respective businesses and better focus on both strengthening their respective core businesses and operations and unlocking new growth opportunities. Both Parent and we expect to more efficiently use management and financial resources as a result of having board and management teams solely focused on our respective businesses. We believe the Spin-off will allow us to better align our management’s attention, compensation and resources to pursue opportunities for long-term growth in the markets that we serve and to manage our cost structure more actively. Parent similarly expects to benefit from its management’s ability to focus on the operation of its businesses. |
• | Direct and differentiated access to capital resources. After the Spin-off, we will no longer need to compete with other businesses conducted by Holcim for capital resources. As a business with operations in the Amrize Territories, the Amrize Business has financial and operating characteristics that differ from the Holcim Business. The Company and Parent believe that direct and differentiated access to capital resources will allow us to better optimize the amounts and terms of the capital needed for our respective businesses, aligning financial and operational characteristics with investor and market expectations applicable to |
• | Value creation by offering separate investment opportunities. The Separation will result in two more focused businesses with different strategies that are more aligned with the markets in which they operate. We believe that after the Spin-off, investors will be better positioned to evaluate our financial performance and strategy within the context of our markets and peer groups, and that the ability to value us against a comparable peer set will enhance the likelihood that we achieve an appropriate market valuation. Parent’s management and financial advisors believe that our investment characteristics may appeal to types of investors who differ from Parent’s current investors. We expect that, as a result of the Spin-off, our management will be better positioned to target these investors by implementing goals and evaluating strategic opportunities in light of investor expectations within the context of the markets we serve. |
• | Improved ability to use stock as an acquisition currency. The Spin-off will provide each of Parent and Amrize with its own distinct equity currency that relates solely to its business to use in pursuing certain financial and strategic objectives, including acquisitions. For example, each of Parent and Amrize will be able to pursue strategic acquisitions in which potential sellers would prefer equity or to raise cash by issuing equity to public or private investors. We expect that we will be able to more easily facilitate potential future transactions with similar businesses through the use of Company Shares as consideration. |
• | Improved management incentives, recruitment and retention. We expect to use our equity to compensate current and future employees. It is more difficult for conglomerates such as Holcim to structure equity incentives that reward managers in a manner directly related to the performance of their geographic and product lines. By granting stock linked to a specific business, we will be able to better align our equity compensation structures and targets with the underlying business, thus offering our managers equity compensation that is linked more directly to their work product than Holcim’s current equity compensation. The Company and Parent believe that improved alignment of equity incentives will allow each of Parent and Amrize to more effectively recruit, retain and motivate employees. |
• | Potential costs and disruptions to the Amrize Business as a result of the Spin-off. Some of our current and prospective customers and suppliers may believe that our financial stability on an independent basis does not satisfy their requirements for doing business with us. If our customers, prospective customers or suppliers are not satisfied with our financial stability, we may not be successful in acquiring new business or retaining existing business. |
• | Risks of being unable to achieve the benefits expected from the Spin-off. By separating from Holcim, we may become more susceptible to, among other things, market fluctuations and other adverse events; actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results due to factors related to the Amrize Business; and competitive pressures from new or existing competitors. |
• | Increased significance of certain costs and contingent liabilities. Certain costs and contingent liabilities that were less material to Holcim as a whole will be more material for us as an independent company. |
• | The decreased capital available for investment. We have relied upon Holcim for working capital requirements and other cash requirements. Subsequent to the Spin-off, Holcim will not be providing us with funds to finance our working capital or other cash requirements. Given our smaller size relative to Holcim prior to the Spin-off, our access to and cost of debt financing after the Spin-off may be different from our access to and cost of debt financing as a part of Holcim. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Spin-off—After the Spin-off, we will not be able to rely on the earnings, assets or cash flows of Holcim and Holcim will not provide funds to finance our working capital or other cash requirements, which may impact the interest rate charged to us on debt financings, the amounts of indebtedness, types of financing structures and debt markets that may be available to us, and our ability to make payments on and to refinance any indebtedness.” |
• | The reaction of Parent’s shareholders to the Spin-off. The market price of Company Shares may fluctuate widely, depending on many factors, many of which will be beyond our control, including the sale of Company Shares by Parent shareholders after the Spin-off because our business profile and market capitalization may not fit their investment objectives. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Ownership of Company Shares—Any sales of substantial amounts of Company Shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, may cause the market price of Company Shares to decline.” |
• | The potential loss of purchasing power and higher cost structure. As a part of Holcim prior to the Spin-off, we take advantage of Holcim’s size and purchasing power in procuring certain goods, services and other resources. After the Spin-off, as a separate, independent, publicly traded company, we may be unable to obtain such resources at prices or on terms as favorable to us as those we obtained prior to the Spin-off. Our costs for functions previously performed by or paid for by Holcim, such as accounting, tax, legal, human resources and other general and administrative functions, may be higher than the amounts reflected in our financial statements, which could cause our profitability to decrease. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Spin-off—We have no history operating as an independent, publicly traded company, and our financial information in this information statement is not necessarily representative of the results that we would have achieved as a separate, publicly traded company and therefore may not be a reliable indicator of our future results.” |
• | The risk that the Spin-off might not be completed or not be completed within the envisaged time frame and the non-recurring and recurring costs of the Spin-off may be greater than we expected. There are risks and uncertainties relating to the execution of the Spin-off, including the timing and certainty of the completion of the Separation and the timing and certainty of the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Distribution. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Spin-off—The Spin-off might not be completed or not be completed within the envisaged time frame and the non-recurring and recurring costs of the Spin-off may be greater than we expected.” In addition, we will incur substantial costs in connection with the transition to being an independent publicly traded company. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Ownership of Company Shares—The obligations associated with being a standalone public company will require significant resources and management attention.” These costs, whether incurred before or after the Spin-off, may be greater than anticipated and could have a negative effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
• | The risk that the Spin-off or any of the related transactions may not qualify as tax-free transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes or as a tax-neutral restructuring for Swiss tax purposes. If the Separation, Distribution or any of the related transactions is determined to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes and/or Swiss tax purposes, a holder of Parent Shares that has received Company Shares in the Distribution could incur significant U.S. federal and/or Swiss income tax liabilities. Further, we and Holcim could incur significant U.S. federal income tax, Swiss corporate income tax, Swiss withholding tax, Swiss stamp duty and capital tax obligations, whether under applicable law or under the Tax Matters Agreement. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Distribution” and “Material Swiss Tax Consequences of the Spin-off.” |
• | The SEC will have declared effective the registration statement of which this information statement is a part, and no stop order relating to the registration statement will be in effect, and no proceedings for that purpose will be pending before or threatened by the SEC. |
• | NYSE will have approved the listing of Company Shares, and SIX will have approved the additional listing of Company Shares subject to technical deliverables as customarily required. |
• | The registration statement, of which this information statement is a part, will have been approved by the SIX Prospectus Office for the purpose of the Swiss listing in accordance with Article 54 of the FinSA. |
• | Parent will have received the Tax Opinion. |
• | All actions, filings, permits, registrations and consents necessary or appropriate under applicable federal, state or other securities laws or “blue sky” laws and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the Company will have been taken or made and, where applicable, become effective or accepted. |
• | No order, injunction or decree issued by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing the consummation of the Separation, Distribution or any of the related transactions will be in effect, and no other event outside the control of Parent shall have occurred or failed to occur that prevents the consummation of the Spin-off. |
• | No event or development shall have occurred or exist as of the Ex-Dividend Date that, in the reasonable judgment of the Parent Board of Directors, would result in the Separation, the Distribution or the other related transactions having a material adverse effect (including, but not limited to, material adverse tax consequences or risks) on Parent or its shareholders. |
• | Cycle 2025 PSUs will be converted into a number of PSUs denominated in Company Shares having an equivalent value assuming target levels of performance. |
• | The performance goals applicable to the portion of the three-year performance cycle on and after the Ex-Dividend Date will be reset in connection with the Ex-Dividend Date (based on a continuation of the performance goals relative to the pro forma starting financials for the Amrize Business). |
• | The satisfaction of performance-based vesting conditions will be evaluated at the end of the three-year performance cycle using a weighted average of (i) the performance achieved by the combined Holcim Business and Amrize Business for the portion of the three-year performance cycle prior to the Ex-Dividend Date and (ii) the performance achieved by just the Amrize Business for the portion of such performance cycle on and after the Ex-Dividend Date. |
• | Cycle 2026 PSUs will be converted into a number of PSUs denominated in Company Shares having an equivalent value assuming target levels of performance. |
• | New performance goals applicable to the entire three-year performance cycle will be established in connection with the Ex-Dividend Date (with such goals being set relative to the pro forma starting financials of the Amrize Business from the beginning of the three-year performance period, and using goal-setting principles that are similar to those which were previously established for the Cycle 2026 PSUs (based on a continuation of the performance goals relative to the pro forma starting financials for the Amrize Business) |
• | The satisfaction of performance-based vesting conditions will be evaluated at the end of 2026. |
• | Parent PSOs which have performance cycles in progress as of the Ex-Dividend Date will be converted into a number of PSOs denominated in Company Shares having an equivalent value assuming attainment of the applicable performance metrics at (x) the maximum level of performance for those PSOs that remain subject to the attainment of performance metrics immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date or (y) the actual level of performance for those PSOs that are no longer subject to the attainment of performance metrics immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date. |
• | At or prior to the Ex-Dividend Date, Parent’s total shareholder return for the portion of such PSO’s performance cycle prior to the Ex-Dividend Date will be used to calculate performance against the original comparator group during such portion of the performance cycle. |
• | As of the Ex-Dividend Date, the value of the Holcim Business will be treated as a reinvested dividend for purposes of determining the Company’s total shareholder return (the “Reinvested Holcim Business Dividend”). |
• | The Company’s actual total shareholder return during the portion of such PSO’s performance cycle on and after the Ex-Dividend Date (including the Reinvested Holcim Business Dividend) will be used to calculate performance against the original comparator group during such portion, and to determine the final number of PSOs earned. |

(1) | The pro forma figures reflect incurrence of indebtedness through the issuance of Senior Unsecured Notes and the expected incurrence of indebtedness through the Debt-for-Debt Exchange Offers and the USPP Debt Assumption. In April 2025, we issued Senior Unsecured Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $3.4 billion. On May 19, 2025, we launched the Debt-for-Debt Exchange Offers pursuant to which we are offering to exchange certain outstanding series of senior bonds issued by subsidiaries of Parent for new senior bonds of a corresponding series issued by FinanceCo with the same interest rate, interest payment dates and maturity date. We also expect FinanceCo and the Company to undertake the USPP Debt Assumption, pursuant to which FinanceCo and the Company will assume the rights and obligations (as the new issuer and guarantor, respectively) of $50.0 million of bonds due in 2031 issued by a subsidiary of Parent. We assume for purposes of this table the Debt-for-Debt Exchange Offers and the USPP Debt Assumption will result in the issuance by FinanceCo of approximately $1.7 billion aggregate principal amount of senior bonds. In addition, in March 2025, we entered into the Revolving Credit Facility with commitments of $2.0 billion and the Bridge Loan with commitments of $5.1 billion (which was permanently reduced to $1.7 billion on April 8, 2025). The Revolving Credit Facility cannot be drawn prior to the completion of the Spin-off, while the Bridge Loan is not expected to be utilized. The Bridge Loan will be terminated if the Spin-off is consummated without any amounts being drawn. We expect that the Debt-for-Debt Exchange Offers and the USPP Debt Assumption will be completed prior to the consummation of the Distribution. However, no assurance can be given whether these transactions will occur in the anticipated time frame on favorable terms, or at all.

The discounts and debt issuance costs will be amortized to Interest expense, net over the terms of the Senior Unsecured Notes and are reflected as a reduction to Long-term debt. The Senior Unsecured Notes have maturities ranging from two years to ten years with a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 4.96%, excluding debt issuance costs. See “Description of Certain Indebtedness—Senior Unsecured Notes.” |
(b) | In March 2025, we entered into the Revolving Credit Facility with commitments of $2.0 billion and the Bridge Loan with commitments of $5.1 billion (which was permanently reduced to $1.7 billion on April 8, 2025). Total debt issuance costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility and Bridge Loan are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in our unaudited historical condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025. A pro forma adjustment has been recorded to Interest expense, net to reflect the impact of the amortization of debt issuance costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility and Bridge Loan. The Revolving Credit Facility cannot be drawn prior to the completion of the Spin-off, while the Bridge Loan is not expected to be utilized. The Bridge Loan will be terminated if the Spin-off is consummated without any amounts being drawn. See “Description of Certain Indebtedness—Revolving Credit Facility” and “Description of Certain Indebtedness—Bridge Loan.” |
(c) | Prior to the completion of the Spin-off, we expect that FinanceCo, a future wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, will consummate the Debt-for-Debt Exchange Offers (as defined in “Description of Certain Indebtedness—Debt-for-Debt Exchange Offers”) pursuant to which it is offering to exchange certain outstanding series of senior bonds issued by subsidiaries of Parent for new senior bonds of a corresponding series with the same interest rate, interest payment dates and maturity date. See “Description of Certain Indebtedness—Debt-for-Debt Exchange Offers.” There is no certainty that we will be able to consummate the Debt-for-Debt Exchange Offers prior to the completion of the Spin-off, or at all, or the extent to which holders of the Original Exchange Notes (as defined in “Description of Certain Indebtedness—Debt-for-Debt Exchange Offers”) will tender such Original Exchange Notes. However, for illustrative purposes, we have assumed for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements that holders of 20% of each series of the Original Exchange Notes (except for the bonds due in 2033) will not accept the Debt-for-Debt Exchange Offers (and that holders of 80% of each series of the Original Exchange Notes (except for the bonds due in 2033) will accept the Debt-for-Debt Exchange Offers). We also expect FinanceCo and the Company to undertake the USPP Debt Assumption, pursuant to which FinanceCo and the Company will assume the rights and obligations (as the new issuer and guarantor, respectively) of $50.0 million of bonds due in 2031, originally issued by a subsidiary of Parent in a private placement transaction. For illustrative purposes, we have assumed that holders of 100% of the $50.0 million of bonds due in 2031 will consent to the USPP Debt Assumption. |

(d) | Adjustment reflects estimated interest expense and amortization charges related to the treasury adjustments described in pro forma footnotes (a), (b) and (c) above. Interest expense was calculated assuming constant debt levels throughout the period. Assuming the treasury adjustments described in pro forma footnote (a) and pro forma footnote (b) remain constant, a 5% change to the assumed Debt-for-Debt Exchange Offer acceptance rate described in pro forma footnote (c) would change Interest expense, net by approximately $1.4 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. |

(e) | In connection with the completion of the Spin-off, Parent expects to transfer to the Company certain employees who historically operated within specific corporate functions of Parent. The unaudited historical condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the audited historical combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 included expense allocations for these employees. This adjustment reflects an incremental increase in costs of $5.1 million and $20.3 million recorded to Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, due to the Company bearing the full costs of these employees upon completion of the Spin-off. These costs primarily relate to salaries, bonuses, insurance and allowances. Current and noncurrent liabilities associated with these employee-related obligations as of March 31, 2025 are not expected to have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. |
(f) | Adjustment reflects the reclassification of Parent’s net investment in Amrize to Additional paid-in capital. |
(g) | Immediately following the Spin-off, we expect to have 566,875,513 Company Shares issued. This calculation is based on 579,124,606 Parent Shares issued as of March 31, 2025, less 12,249,093 Parent Shares held in treasury and expected to be cancelled, all of which were purchased by Parent under the Parent share buyback program announced in March 2024 and completed in December 2024. We expect Parent to distribute approximately 552,735,960 Company Shares in the Distribution and we expect to have approximately 552,735,960 Company Shares outstanding immediately following the Spin-off. We anticipate the number of excess Company Shares not distributed in the Distribution, and therefore the number of Company Shares held by the Company in treasury following the Spin-off, to be approximately 14,139,553 Company Shares. Adjustment reflects the distribution of 552,735,960 Company Shares, with a nominal amount (par value) of $0.01 per share, pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement. The actual number of Company Shares to be distributed will not be known until the Cum-Dividend Date and will depend on the number of Parent Shares outstanding as of the Cum-Dividend Date. |

(In millions) | As of March 31, 2025 | ||

Net impact of issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes and intercompany debt repayment (refer to pro forma footnote (a)) | 2,714 | ||
Total pro forma adjustment to Additional paid-in capital | $13,051 | ||
(i) | Adjustment reflects the reclassification of certain transactions historically included as Due from related-party and Due to related-party as Accounts receivable, net and Accounts payable, respectively, as of March 31, 2025. |

(j) | Adjustment reflects the income tax effect of the transaction pro forma adjustments calculated using the applicable statutory income tax rates in effect within the respective tax jurisdictions during the periods presented. The applicable tax rates could be impacted depending on many factors subsequent to the transaction and may be materially different from the pro forma results. |
(k) | Adjustment reflects additional non-recurring costs from executed contracts with third party vendors related to the establishment of Amrize as a standalone public company, which are expected to be incurred in relation to the Spin-off. These costs primarily consist of estimable costs related to advisor fees. These costs are necessary to facilitate the Spin-off and establish Amrize as an autonomous entity. These adjustments are comprised of non-recurring costs of $0 million and $3.2 million in Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Actual charges that will be incurred pursuant to these executed contracts with third-party vendors could be different from these estimates. |
(l) | Adjustment reflects the income tax effect of the autonomous entity pro forma adjustments using the applicable statutory tax rates in effect within the respective tax jurisdictions during the periods presented, and the expected effects of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. The applicable tax rates could be impacted depending on many factors subsequent to the transaction and may be materially different from the pro forma results. |
(m) | The weighted-average number of Company Shares used to compute pro forma basic earnings per Company Share is 552,735,960 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, which represents the number of Company Shares expected to be outstanding immediately following the Spin-off. Refer to pro forma footnote (g) above. |
(n) | The weighted-average number of Company Shares used to compute pro forma diluted earnings per Company Share is 552,735,960 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, which represents the number of Company Shares expected to be outstanding immediately following the Spin-off. Refer to pro forma footnote (g) above. The actual dilutive effect on the number of Company Shares outstanding following the completion of the Spin-off will depend on various factors, including employees who may change employment between Parent and the Company and the impact of equity-based compensation arrangements. We cannot estimate dilutive effects at this time. |

Our Building Envelope segment generated $3.4 billion of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2024. |
• | Positioned in the most attractive markets to service our North American customers: Population growth, urbanization, climate change, onshoring and investments in infrastructure are shaping the future of construction and driving demand for advanced solutions in key markets.

Reward Element | Description | |||||
Standard Benefits and Retirement Plans | U.S.-Based Employees • Same tax-qualified retirement, medical, dental, vacation benefit, life insurance, and disability plans provided to other employees. • Nonqualified retirement plans that restore benefits above the Internal Revenue Code limits for tax-qualified retirement plans as provided to other employees (and a comparable arrangement for Mr. Johnston who participates in the Canadian retirement plans). • Nonqualified deferred compensation plans that allow for deferral of base salary, Cash Incentive Awards and Parent Equity Awards. Switzerland-Based Employees • Vacation and insurance plans consistent with local market practices and available to other employees. • Defined benefit pension plans, as described in “Executive and Director Compensation—Narrative Discussion of Pension Benefits.” | |||||
Severance Benefits | U.S.-Based Employees • Holcim’s U.S.-based employees who were not members of Parent’s executive committee participate in severance plans that are aligned with typical U.S. practices, where such benefits are described below. With the Distribution, the plan provisions for its executives will be adjusted to align with Swiss compensation regulations. | |||||
Reward Element | Description | |||||
• Prior to the Distribution, severance benefits for a termination without cause or upon good reason were to receive 12 months of salary and target bonus, payment of pro rata bonus awards for the current year and benefits continuation for the same 12-month period. • After the Distribution, severance benefits for members of our Executive Management will be replaced with a 12-month pre-termination notice period to be legally compliant with Swiss law. Canada-Based Employees • Employees are entitled to termination pay in accordance with minimum statutory requirements as well as Canadian case law (which in general ranges from 2-4 weeks of base pay per year of service, with a maximum of 24 months). Switzerland-Based Employees • Consistent with Swiss regulations, no Swiss NEO is eligible for a severance benefit. • Swiss employees have employment agreements that are ongoing, which may be terminated with one year of notice. | ||||||
Change in Control (CIC) Benefits | • Holcim does not offer specific change in control benefits. However, certain employees based in North America may receive accelerated payment of certain entitlements under a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. • Treatment of incentive awards is governed by the respective plan or award agreement. • There are no single trigger severance benefits nor single trigger acceleration of equity awards. • Holcim does not provide for any tax gross-ups in the event of a change in control, and we are expected to continue this practice. • The Swiss NEOs may participate in non-competition agreements for up to one year following a change in control and are eligible for payments of up to 50% of the last paid total annual compensation. • For additional information, see “Executive and Director Compensation—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.” | |||||
Limited Perquisites | • Our benefits and perquisites align with local market practices. • Some NEOs are eligible for car allowances, as specified in “Executive and Director Compensation—Summary Compensation Table.” • As needed, NEOs can be eligible for relocation assistance or other related benefits. • An NEO on assignment outside of his or her country of origin can be eligible for expatriate benefits, including housing, travel, family education, and tax counseling. • Following the Distribution, we anticipate continued use of very limited perquisites or personal benefits. | |||||

(1) | Amounts shown in this column of the table above represent the potential opportunities under Cash Incentive Awards granted in 2024. A target Cash Incentive Award is established at the beginning of the relevant fiscal year (or upon hire as appropriate), based on a percentage of the NEO’s base salary. Target Cash Incentive Award for Mr. Jenisch represents 125% of base salary from January 1, 2024 to April 30, |
(2) | Amounts shown in this column of the table above represent the potential payout range of PSUs and PSOs granted in 2024. Vesting for PSUs is based equally upon performance against EPS, ROIC and Sustainability goals. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2024 Compensation Program Details and Decisions—Parent Equity Incentive Plan.” Performance and payouts are determined independently for each metric. At the conclusion of the three-year performance period, the actual award, delivered as Parent Shares, can range from 0% to 200% of the original grant. Dividend equivalents are applied after the final performance determination. Vesting for PSOs is based upon relative total shareholder return against the Holcim Peer Group. At the conclusion of the five-year performance period, the actual award, delivered as PSOs, can vest at a maximum of 100% of the original grant. Dividend equivalents are applied after the final performance determination. For a discussion of the impact on PSUs and PSOs of any termination, see “—Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.” As discussed elsewhere, Parent PSUs and Parent PSOs held by Amrize Employees on the Ex-Dividend Date will be subject to special treatment. See “The Separation and Distribution—Treatment of Parent Equity Awards.” |
(3) | For Parent Equity Awards, the grant date fair value is based upon the probable outcome of the performance conditions. This amount is consistent with the estimate of aggregate compensation cost to be recognized over the service period determined as of the grant date under ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. The grant date fair value of the PSUs, to the extent subject to a EPS, ROIC and Sustainability metric, was based upon the closing price of Parent Shares on SIX as of the grant date (converted from CHF to U.S. dollars using the foreign exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2024 (1.1070)), which was $61.90. The grant date fair value of the PSOs, to the extent subject to a relative total shareholder return performance measure, was $4.02, estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation. Values for Mr. Johnston, Mr. Hill and Ms. Forrest reflect a conversion from CHF to U.S. dollars using the foreign exchange rate in effect on December 31, 2024 (1.1070). |

• | Base Salaries: Employees are entitled to a 12-month pre-termination notice period. If notice is provided by either the employee or the company, the employee is able to receive continuation of salary payments for the pre-termination notice period. For employment agreements governed by Illinois law, if the employee is released from work and placed on garden leave, such payments will cease if the individual accepts Amrize-approved employment with another company. For employment agreements governed by Swiss law, income received from a new employer for work performed during the period of garden leave will be deducted from our payment obligations. |
• | Cash Incentive Awards: Employees are also eligible to continue to participate in Parent’s cash incentive plans during the 12-month pre-termination notice period. Participation ceases upon the actual end of the employment. Employees are eligible for pro rata payments until the termination date upon retirement, death, disability, change in control, or a termination by us with cause. |
• | Parent Equity Awards: In the event an employee terminates for cause, performance, or for a voluntary exit, all unvested Parent Equity Awards are forfeited. In the case of termination for death, disability, retirement, or upon certain involuntary termination events within eighteen months following a change in control, or in any case at the discretion of the Parent Board of Directors, participants receive credit for pro rata vesting prior to the termination event. In these cases, the performance-based awards are earned based on the actual performance achieved at the end of the performance period, except for death and involuntary termination within eighteen months following a change in control, where the performance is evaluated upon termination and payable assuming that performance conditions are met. Our equity programs allow for continued vesting and earning during employment, including during the 12-month pre-termination notice period. Employees are eligible for pro rata payouts of performance-based awards based upon actual achievement as of the end of the respective performance measurement period. Vesting/earning of Parent Equity Awards ceases upon the actual end of the employment. Vested and exercisable PSOs must be exercised within six months of a termination event. Unvested PSOs and PSUs continue their performance cycle and earned and vested PSOs and PSUs must be exercised within six months of the end of the performance measurement period when a participant is no longer an employee. In the event of a change in control where awards are not assumed by the buyer, unvested awards are fully accelerated. |
• | Benefits: Core benefits such as medical and insurance are continued during the 12-month pre-termination notice period, though all such benefits are no longer in effect upon termination of employment. No |

Mergers and similar arrangements | Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, a merger, consolidation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation must be approved by the board of directors and a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. A shareholder of a Delaware corporation participating in certain major corporate transactions may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which such shareholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair value of the shares held by such shareholder (as determined by a court) in lieu of the consideration such shareholder would otherwise receive in the transaction. The DGCL also provides that a parent corporation, by resolution of its board of directors, may merge with any subsidiary of which it owns at least 90% of each class of capital stock, without a vote by the shareholders of such subsidiary. Upon any such merger, dissenting shareholders of the subsidiary would have appraisal rights. | Under Swiss law, with certain exceptions, a merger or a demerger of the corporation or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation must be approved by holders of two-thirds of the voting rights represented at the general meeting of shareholders as well as the absolute majority of the nominal amount (par value) of shares represented at such general meeting of shareholders. A shareholder of a Swiss corporation participating in a statutory merger or demerger pursuant to the Swiss Merger Act (Fusionsgesetz) can file a lawsuit against the surviving company, and if the consideration is deemed “inadequate,” all shareholders may, in addition to the consideration (be it in shares or in cash) receive an additional amount to ensure that the shareholders receive the fair value of the shares held by such shareholders. Swiss law also provides that if the merger agreement provides only for a compensation payment, the merger agreement must be approved by at least 90% of all shareholders entitled to vote. | ||||
Shareholder Lawsuits; Class Actions | Class actions and derivative actions are generally available to shareholders of a Delaware corporation for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste and actions not taken in accordance with applicable law. In such actions, courts have discretion to permit the winning party to recover attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action. | Class actions and derivative actions as such are not available under Swiss law. A class action is available only to the extent that U.S. laws and regulations provide a basis for liability and U.S. courts have jurisdiction. Nevertheless, certain actions may have a similar effect. A shareholder of a Swiss corporation is entitled to bring suit against its directors for breach of their duties and claim the payment of the corporation’s losses or damages to the corporation (and therefor indirectly compensate all shareholders) and, in some cases, to the individual shareholder. | ||||
Topic | Delaware Corporate Law | Swiss Corporate Law | ||||
Under Swiss law, the winning party is generally entitled to recover a limited amount of attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action. The court has discretion to permit the shareholder who lost the lawsuit to recover attorneys’ fees incurred to some extent, provided that the court deems he acted in good faith. | ||||||
Board and management compensation | Under the DGCL, the board of directors has the authority to fix the compensation of directors, unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation. | Pursuant to the Swiss Code, the general meeting of shareholders has the non-transferable right to vote separately and bindingly on the aggregate amounts of compensation of (i) the members of the board of directors, (ii) the executive management and (iii) the advisory board, if any. | ||||
Classified Board | Classified boards are permitted. | Directors are elected for a term of office until the end of the following annual general meeting of shareholders. Classified boards are therefore not permitted. | ||||
Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers; Limitation of Liability | The DGCL provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors (but not other controlling persons) for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director, except no provision in the certificate of incorporation may eliminate or limit the liability of a director for: • any breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; • acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; • statutory liability for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful share purchase or redemption; or • any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, other than an action by or on | Under Swiss corporate law, an indemnification by the corporation of a director or member of the executive management in relation to potential personal liability is not effective to the extent the director or member of the executive management intentionally or grossly negligently violated his or her corporate duties towards the corporation. Furthermore, the general meeting of shareholders may discharge (release) the directors and members of the executive management from liability for their conduct to the extent the respective facts are known to shareholders. Such discharge is effective only with respect to claims of the corporation and of those shareholders who approved the discharge or who have since acquired their shares in full knowledge of the discharge. Most violations of corporate law are regarded as violations of duties towards the corporation rather than towards the shareholders. In addition, indemnification of other controlling persons, including shareholders of the corporation, is not permitted under Swiss corporate law. The articles of association of a Swiss corporation may also set forth that the corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by the | ||||

Unless ordered by a court, any foregoing indemnification is subject to a determination that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct: • a majority of the directors who are not parties to the proceeding, even though less than a quorum; • a committee of directors designated by a majority of the eligible directors, even though less than a quorum; • independent legal counsel in a written opinion if there are no eligible directors, or if the eligible directors so direct; or • the shareholders. Moreover, a Delaware corporation may not indemnify a director or officer in connection with any proceeding in which the director or officer has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for those expenses which the court deems proper. | law, the directors and executive managers out of assets of the corporation against threatened, pending or completed actions.

Fiduciary Duties of Directors | A director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this | The board of directors of a Swiss corporation manages the business of the corporation, unless responsibility for such management has been duly delegated to the executive management based on organizational regulations. However, there are several non-transferable duties of the board of directors: | ||||

duty, a director must inform himself or herself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation. | • the ultimate direction of the corporation and the issuing of all necessary directives; • determination of the corporation’s organization; • the organization of the accounting, financial control and financial planning systems as required for management of the corporation; • the appointment and dismissal of persons entrusted with managing and representing the corporation; • overall supervision of the persons entrusted with managing the corporation, in particular with regard to compliance with the law, articles of association, operational regulations and directives; • compilation of the annual management report prepared pursuant to Swiss law, the annual consolidated financial statements, the annual standalone financial statements prepared pursuant to Swiss law, the annual compensation report prepared pursuant to Swiss law and the annual report regarding non-financial matters prepared pursuant to Swiss law, as well as any other reports required by Swiss law; • preparation for the annual general meeting of shareholders and implementation of its resolutions; and • filing of a petition for debt-restructuring moratorium and the notification of the court in the event that the corporation is over-indebted. The members of the board of directors must perform their duties with all due diligence and safeguard the interests of the corporation in good faith. They must afford the shareholders equal treatment in equal circumstances. The duty of care requires that a director act | |||||

in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent director would exercise under like circumstances. The duty of loyalty requires that a director safeguard the interests of the corporation and requires that directors act in the interest of the corporation and, if necessary, put aside their own interests. If there is a risk of a conflict of interest, the board of directors must take appropriate measures to ensure that the interests of the corporation are duly taken into account. The burden of proof for a violation of these duties is with the corporation or with the shareholder bringing a suit against the director. The Swiss Federal Supreme Court established a doctrine that restricts its review of a business decision if the decision has been taken following proper preparation, on an informed basis and without conflicts of interest. | ||||||
Shareholder Action by Written Consent | A Delaware corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent. | Shareholders of a Swiss corporation generally exercise their voting rights at an annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and may only act by written consent if no shareholder (or proxy) requests an oral debate. The articles of association for a Swiss corporation must allow for (independent) proxies to be present at an annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. The instruction of such (independent) proxies may occur in writing or electronically. | ||||
Shareholder Proposals; Special Meetings | A shareholder has the right to present any proposal for consideration at the annual meeting of shareholders, subject to compliance with the notice provisions in the corporation’s governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the corporation’s governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. | A shareholder may present any proposal for consideration at any annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders if the proposal is part of an agenda item. No resolution may be taken on proposals relating to the agenda items that were not duly notified, with certain exceptions (see below). Any shareholder can propose candidates for election as directors or make other proposals within the scope of an agenda item without prior written notice. | ||||
Topic | Delaware Corporate Law | Swiss Corporate Law | ||||
In addition, any shareholder is entitled, at the annual general meeting of shareholders and without advance notice, to (i) request information from the board of directors on the affairs of the corporation (note, however, that the right to obtain such information is limited), (ii) request information from the auditors on the methods and results of their audit, (iii) request that the general meeting of shareholders resolve to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, (iv) request that the general meeting of shareholders resolve to carry out a special examination (Sonderuntersuchung), or (v) request that the general meeting of shareholders elect an auditor. Unless the corporation’s articles of association provide for a lower threshold or for additional shareholders’ rights, in a company with securities listed on a stock exchange (i) holders of at least 5% of the corporation’s share capital may request in writing that an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders be called for specific agenda items and (ii) holders of at least 0.5% of the corporation’s share capital may request in writing that an item be put on the agenda for a scheduled annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, provided such request is made with appropriate lead time. | ||||||
Cumulative Voting | Under the DGCL, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides for it. | Cumulative voting is not permitted under Swiss corporate law. Pursuant to Swiss law, shareholders can vote for each proposed candidate, but they are not allowed to cumulate their votes for single candidates. An annual individual election of (i) all members of the board of directors, (ii) the chairperson of the board of directors, (iii) the members of the compensation committee, (iv) the independent proxy for a term of office of one year (i.e., until the following annual general meeting of shareholders), as well as the vote on the aggregate amounts of compensation of the members of the board of directors, executive management and advisory board (if any), is mandatory for a Swiss company with securities listed on a stock exchange. | ||||
Topic | Delaware Corporate Law | Swiss Corporate Law | ||||
Removal of Directors | A Delaware corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. | A Swiss corporation may remove, with or without cause, any director at any time with a resolution approved by holders of a majority of the voting rights represented at the annual general meeting of shareholders where a proposal for such removal was properly set on the agenda. According to the New Articles, such removal of directors requires the approval by a supermajority at an annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. | ||||
Transactions with Interested Shareholders | The DGCL generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” (a person or group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares within the past three years) for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. | No such rule applies to a Swiss corporation. | ||||
Dissolution; Winding Up | Unless the board of directors of a Delaware corporation approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by holders of 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board of directors. | Dissolution of a Swiss corporation requires the approval by two-thirds of the voting rights represented at an annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders as well as the absolute majority of the nominal amount (par value) of shares represented at an annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. The articles of association may increase the voting thresholds required for such a resolution. Dissolution by law or court order is possible if, for example, a corporation becomes bankrupt. Under Swiss law, any surplus arising out of a liquidation (after the settlement of all claims of all creditors) is distributed to shareholders in proportion to the paid-up nominal amount (par value) of shares held, unless the articles of association provide for a different form of distribution. | ||||
Variation of Rights of Shares | A Delaware corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. | The issuance of preference shares may be authorized by holders of a majority of the shares represented at an annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. Where a corporation has issued preference shares, further preference | ||||

shares conferring preferential rights over the existing preference shares may be issued only with approval by holders of a majority of the adversely affected holders of the existing preference shares and approval by holders of a majority of all shares, unless otherwise provided in the articles of association. | ||||||
Amendment of Governing Documents | A Delaware corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. | The articles of association of a Swiss corporation may be amended with a resolution approved by holders of a majority of the voting rights represented at an annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, unless otherwise provided in the articles of association. There are a number of resolutions (such as an amendment of the stated purpose of the corporation, the introduction of conditional share capital or a capital band and the introduction of shares with preferential voting rights) that require the approval by holders of two-thirds of the voting rights and holders of an absolute majority of the nominal amount (par value) of the shares represented at an annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. The articles of association may increase these voting thresholds. | ||||
Inspection of Books and Records | Shareholders of a Delaware corporation, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose, and to obtain copies of list(s) of shareholders and other books and records of the corporation and its subsidiaries, if any, to the extent the books and records of such subsidiaries are available to the corporation. | Under Swiss law, a shareholder may request to inspect a corporation’s minutes of annual or extraordinary general meetings of shareholders. A corporation’s annual management report prepared pursuant to Swiss law, annual consolidated financial statements, annual standalone financial statements prepared pursuant to Swiss law and auditors’ report prepared pursuant to Swiss law and annual report regarding non-financial matters prepared pursuant to Swiss law, must be made available for inspection by shareholders at least 20 calendar days prior to each annual general meeting of shareholders. If the reports are not accessible electronically, any shareholder may request a copy of these reports in advance of, or within one year after the relevant annual general meeting of shareholders. | ||||
Topic | Delaware Corporate Law | Swiss Corporate Law | ||||
Shareholders of a Swiss corporation that together represent at least 5% of the share capital or voting rights may inspect books and records if the board of directors approved such inspection. An inspection may be refused where providing it would jeopardize the corporation’s trade secrets or other interests warranting protection. A shareholder is only entitled to receive information to the extent required to exercise his or her rights as a shareholder, subject to the interests of the corporation. A shareholder’s right to inspect the share register is limited to the right to inspect his or her own entry in the share register. | ||||||
Payment of Dividends | The board of directors may approve a dividend without shareholder approval. Subject to any restrictions contained in its certificate of incorporation, the board of directors may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock out of its surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of its net income for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. | Dividend payments are subject to approval at an annual or extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. The board of directors may propose a dividend payment to shareholders, but cannot itself authorize the distribution. Payments out of a Swiss corporation’s share capital (in other words, the aggregate nominal amount (par value) of the corporation’s share capital registered in the relevant commercial register) in the form of dividends are not allowed and may be made only by way of a share capital reduction. Dividends may be paid only from the profits of the previous business year or brought forward from previous business years or if the corporation has freely distributable reserves, each as evidenced by the corporation’s audited annual standalone financial statements prepared pursuant to Swiss law, after allocations to reserves required by Swiss law and the articles of association have been deducted and the corporation’s statutory auditors have confirmed that the dividend proposal complies with Swiss law and the corporation’s articles of association. | ||||

However, directors may issue authorized shares without shareholder approval. Creation of new shares must be approved | All creation of shares requires approval or authorization by shareholders.

Description of the Matter | As of December 31, 2024 the Building Envelope goodwill balance was $4,026 million. As described in Notes 2 and 8 to the Financial Statements, goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level. The Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for the reporting units in the Building Envelope segment and therefore estimated the fair market value of these reporting units. Auditing management’s quantitative impairment test for goodwill was complex and judgmental due to the significant estimation required to determine the fair value of the reporting units in the Building Envelope segment. In particular, the | ||
Company’s fair value estimates were sensitive to significant assumptions, specifically forecasted revenues, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margins, discount rates and long-term growth rates, which are forward-looking and affected by expectations about future market and economic conditions. | |||
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | To test the estimated fair value of the Building Envelope reporting units, we performed procedures that included comparing the forecasted revenues, margins and long-term growth rates used by the Company to external economic forecasts and for consistency with other internal reporting such as the Company’s business plan. We tested the mathematical accuracy of the models used by the Company and to assess the historical accuracy of management’s prior estimates, we compared them to subsequent actual results. We performed sensitivity analyses of forecasted revenues, EBITDA margins and discount rates applied to evaluate the changes in the estimated fair value of the reporting units that would result from changes in such significant assumptions. With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we evaluated the methodologies used to determine the fair value by comparing against the requirement of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, and we assessed the discount rates used by the Company by comparing them with independently developed discount rates. We evaluated the adequacy of the Company’s disclosures in the Financial Statements. | ||
