The Offer Price paid to U.S. holders of Common Shares and holders of ADSs will be paid in U.S. dollars and will be converted from Peruvian Soles to U.S. dollars based on the “Applicable Exchange Rate” and will be deposited with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., which has been appointed by Purchaser to act as tender agent for the U.S. Offer, on the second trading day after the expiration date of the U.S. Offer. The Applicable Exchange Rate will be the Peruvian Sol/U.S. dollar exchange rate (tipo de cambio contable venta) published by the Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y AFP (SBS) on its website on the expiration date of the U.S. Offer.
Concurrent with the U.S. Offer, the Purchaser is making an offer to purchase Common Shares from all holders of Common Shares (other than Common Shares owned by Holcim and its affiliates), wherever located, for the same price and on substantially the same terms as offered to purchase Common Shares in the U.S. Offer, in accordance with the provisions of the Consolidated Text of the Securities Market Law, which was approved by Supreme Decree No. 020-2023-EF (the “Peru Offer” and together with the U.S. Offer, the “Offers”).
On December 15, 2025, Holcim entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with (i) the marital community property (sociedad conyugal) formed by Eduardo Hochschild Beeck, a Peruvian citizen and resident, and Mariana Violeta Correa Sabogal de Hochschild, a Peruvian citizen and resident, (ii) Farragut Holdings, Inc., a Cayman limited company ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Sellers”) and (iii) Eduardo Hochschild Beeck, as representative of the Sellers, pursuant to which Holcim agreed to acquire from the Sellers 99.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Purchaser, in exchange for an aggregate cash purchase price of S/1,850,370,000 (the “ASPI Acquisition”). The ASPI Acquisition was consummated on March 30, 2026. The Purchaser owns 50.01% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, which common shares are indirectly owned by Holcim following the ASPI Acquisition. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and based on Peruvian law, Holcim is required to launch and complete a public tender offer for at least an additional 24.99% of the Common Shares within the timeframe permitted under Peruvian law; the Offers are intended to satisfy such provision of the Purchase Agreement. As requested by Holcim, pursuant to Oficio No. 5172-2026-SMV/11.1 dated October 14, 2026, the Superintendencia del Mercado de Valores (“SMV”) granted an exception to Holcim, allowing the Peru Offer to be conducted by the Purchaser.
