Result of placing of ordinary shares in Ibstock plc ("Ibstock"
or the "Company")
Further to the announcement released on 25 April 2017 by Diamond
(BC) S.A R.L (the "Seller"), the Seller announces that it has
increased the size of the placement of shares (the "Placing") in
Ibstock due to strong investor demand. Accordingly, pursuant to the
Placing, the Seller has sold an aggregate of 101.6 million ordinary
shares in the share capital of Ibstock, by way of an accelerated
bookbuild to institutional investors at a price of 215 pence per
ordinary share (the "Placing Shares") raising gross proceeds of
GBP218.4 million.
Following the completion of the Placing, the Seller will cease
to hold any ordinary shares in the Company. The proceeds of the
Placing are payable in cash. The closing of the Placing is expected
to occur on or around 2 May 2017 on a T+3 basis. Ibstock will not
receive any proceeds from the Placing.
Upon completion of the Placing, the Relationship Agreement
between the Seller and Ibstock will terminate. If requested by the
Board, the Seller is required to procure that all of its nominated
shareholder directors resign from the Board.
Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays"), J.P.Morgan Securities Plc (which
conducts its UK investment banking activity as J.P. Morgan
Cazenove) ("J.P.Morgan Cazenove") and UBS Limited ("UBS") acted as
joint bookrunners in connection with the Placing.

investment funds advised by Bain Capital Europe, LLP or its
affiliates.
