Chlzmadle <br />vice President <br />Communications antl Public Anairs <br />November 20, 2001 <br />To Holnam Vendors and Suppliers: <br />On December 12, 2001, Holnam will become Holcim (USj Inc. The move aligns <br />us with our corporate parent company, Holcim Ltd., which changed its name from <br />Holderbank Financiere Glaris earlier this year. The transition reflects our strong <br />global brand and clearly establishes the Holcim Group as one of the world's most <br />successful global cement companies. You may have seen already ads <br />announcing our new name in issues of various cemen! and construction trade <br />publications. <br />As a company that has provided a valuable product or service to us, I wanted to <br />ensure that you were aware of the change prior to the formal announcement next <br />month. Our new name reflects the company's heritage and maintains focus on <br />our core business as a leading manufacturer and supplier of cement worldwide. <br />"Hol" was derived from Holderbank, the town in Switzerland where our parent <br />company was founded, while the "cim" comes from cement, the French word for <br />cement. <br />Along with our new name, you'll also notice a new look for us, including a bold <br />new logo on our signs, products, stationery and facility locations. However, even <br />though we are changing our name and visual identity, our commitment to <br />customers and suppliers will remain strong. In fact, the opportunity to leverage <br />global resources throughout the Holcim Group will increase our domestic ability <br />to work more effectively with all of our stakeholders. <br />°leuce #eel,freo to get in teach with your local Holnam contact if you have any <br />questions, and thank you for your continued support. <br />Sincerely, <br />Thomas A. <br />
