Company Well-Positioned to Decarbonize the Materials Sector through Innovative Technology

NEW YORK--Eco Material Technologies (鈥淓co Material鈥� or the 鈥淐ompany鈥�), a leading producer of sustainable cementitious materials, today announced that it has completed the acquisitions of Boral Resources (鈥淏oral鈥�), Boral Limited鈥檚 (ASX: BLD) North American fly ash business, and Green Cement Inc. (鈥淕reen Cement鈥�), a manufacturer of near-zero carbon cement alternatives. Eco Material is a newly-formed company dedicated to decarbonizing the materials industry through scalable and proven technological solutions. As part of the combination, Eco Material received significant investments from 中文AV (鈥淥EP鈥�), a middle market private equity firm, Warburg Pincus LLC (鈥淲arburg Pincus鈥�), a leading global growth investor, and historical Green Cement shareholders. Along with these investments, the Company priced and closed $525 million of Green Bonds to facilitate the combination transaction.

Eco Material transforms industrial waste into environmentally-friendly substitutes for everyday products. The Company is the only national marketer and distributor of fly ash, a byproduct of thermal power generation that is used as an alternative to traditional cement, and maintains patented technologies to convert fly ash and other natural materials into value-added manufactured products like its proprietary Pozzoslag庐. Pozzoslag庐 exceeds the strength, durability, and performance of traditional cement in concrete, while generating approximately 99% lower CO2 emissions. Eco Material also provides mission-critical utility services, including operations support, waste disposal, and environmental remediation.

鈥淓co Material is truly the best of both worlds, combining the largest network of cement alternatives in the U.S. with an innovative, proven technology that increases their environmental and economic value,鈥� said Grant Quasha, CEO of Eco Material. 鈥淭he Company is excited to partner with OEP, Warburg Pincus, our Green Bond holders and our 1,100 new team members on its journey towards decarbonizing the materials industry, starting with the cement sector, which generates approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions.鈥�
