LNH is organized under the laws of Belgium. The remaining Reporting Persons are organized under the laws of Luxembourg. On August 21, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), pursuant to the Securities Sale Agreement (the "SSA"), dated June 27, 2026, by and between Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (the "Issuer") and LNH, the Issuer acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Lhoist North America, Inc. ("LNA"), a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of LNH (the "Transaction") in exchange for (i) $7 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments set forth in the SSA (the "Consideration Cash"), and (ii) 10,953,543 of newly-issued shares(the "Consideration Shares") of Issuer common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock").

Shareholders Agreement On the Closing Date, the Issuer, LNH and, solely for purposes of the standstill provisions set forth therein, FGI, entered into a shareholders' agreement (the "Shareholders Agreement"). Under the Shareholders Agreement, LNH and its affiliates are subject to a lock-up period with respect to the Consideration Shares, with 50% of such shares released from the lock-up on the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date and the remaining 50% of such shares released from the lock-up on the 24-month anniversary of the Closing. The Shareholders Agreement further provides that the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the "Board") will take such actions as are necessary to increase the size of the Board by one director, and LNH will have the right to designate one director to the Board and to designate one non-voting Board observer. These designation rights are subject to graduated reduction and termination based on LNH's beneficial ownership of Common Stock: LNH may designate one director and one observer for so long as it beneficially owns at least 7,102,033 shares of Common Stock; this right is reduced to one director if such ownership falls below 7,102,033 shares of Common Stock but remains at or above 5,326,525 shares of Common Stock; and all designation and observer rights terminate if such ownership falls below 5,326,525 shares of Common Stock. Furthermore, subject to certain exceptions, in the event LNH and its affiliates fail to vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them in accordance with the recommendation of the Board (subject to certain exceptions) and in favor of persons nominated and recommended to serve as directors by the Board, all of LNH's designation rights will terminate. In addition, FGI and LNH and their affiliates have agreed to be subject to a customary standstill obligation, including a restriction on acquiring shares in excess of 12,783,660 shares of Common Stock, which will be effective until the earlier of (a) 15 months after the date on which both (i) no LNH designee sits on the Board and (ii) LNH has irrevocably waived or no longer has any right to designate a director or observer and (b) the date on which LNH holds fewer than 5,326,525 shares of Common Stock.
