Case study: MXN bond program What we did Set up a MXN 10 bn shelf program in Mexico to issue bonds guaranteed by Holcim Ltd Issued the first Mexican Holcim bonds in the amount of MXN 4.0 bn in 2012 The proceeds of the issuance were passed on to Holcim México our subsidiary in Mexico as an intercompany loan How we did it In-depth analysis of the peculiarities and requirements of the Mexican debt capital market over a long period of time A joint project team with dedicated people from the head office and the Mexican subsidiary was put together Close collaboration with local banks and lawyers Focused roadshow in Mexico City and investor calls Results we achieved Holcim can issue up to MXN 10 bn in local bonds which provides us with an alternative funding source for our Mexican operations Short term bank debt was replaced with long term debt which lengthens the average maturity Financing costs were substantially reduced 12

MXN bond program main difficulties Language all legal documentation had to be in Spanish. Tackled by project team familiar with the language and by translating main documents Transaction had to be postponed due to unfavorable capital market conditions in the beginning Mexican authorities sometimes unpredictable in their requests for additional documentation Transaction windows quite short due to regulatory approval process and closed periods 15
Conclusions Broad diversification of financing allows To optimize the currency mix of the balance sheet and cash flows (natural hedge) To tap the most favorable capital markets To access markets opportunistically To lower financing costs To broaden investor base To reduce counterparty risks (large investor base, no swaps) To reduce the risk that comes along with higher market volatility The MXN bond program allows us to finance our Mexican Peso needs in the local market at low costs Strong relationships to banks, investors and rating agencies are key in all markets 16
