NOTES
(1) This Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to the Statement on Schedule 13G
filed by Groupe Bruxelles Lambert ("GBL") on February 3, 2006, is being filed
pursuant to Rule 13d-2(d) to disclose that GBL has acquired greater than 10
percent of the outstanding Ordinary Shares of Lafarge S.A. (the "Company"). As
of May 16, 2006, GBL owned 17,822,324 ordinary shares of the Company,
representing 10.13% of the outstanding capital and 9.96% of the voting rights.
As of May 17, 2006, GBL owned 17,900,000 ordinary shares of the Company,
representing 10.17% of the outstanding capital and 10.01% of the voting rights.
GBL is a corporation organized under the laws of Belgium, and is a holding
company which holds a limited number of investments in leading companies. The
principal business address of GBL is 24 avenue Marnix, 1000 Brussels, Belgium.
As a result of direct and indirect securities holdings, Mr. Paul G.
Desmarais and Baron Frere may be deemed to control GBL. Mr. Paul G. Desmarais, a
citizen of Canada, has his principal business address at 751 Square Victoria,
Montreal (Quebec), Canada H2Y 2J3. Baron Frere, a citizen of Belgium, has his
principal business address at 12, rue de la Blanche Borne, 6280 Gerpinnes,
Belgium. Exhibit A attached hereto identifies additional persons through whom
Mr. Paul G. Desmarais and Baron Frere may be deemed to control GBL. The filing
of this Amendment, including the exhibits, shall not be construed as an
admission that any of the control relationships enumerated herein actually
exist.
(2) GBL beneficially owns 17,900,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company. Based on
the number of the Company's shares reported as outstanding by the Company in
recent public filings (175,985,303 as of January 23, 2006), as of May 17, 2006,
GBL beneficially owns approximately 10.17% of the Company's shares as calculated
pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i). Through the mechanism of double voting rights
attached to certain of the Company's shares held by other shareholders, as of
May 17, 2006, GBL has voting rights equivalent to approximately 10.01% of the
Company's voting rights (based upon a total of 178,897,539 existing voting
rights as of January 23, 2006).
(3) Calculated based on the number of the shares outstanding disclosed by the
Company in its January 23, 2006, Notice No. 2006-197 published on the Euronext
Paris website. As of January 23, 2006, there were 175,985,303 issued and
outstanding shares of the Company, representing 178,897,539 voting rights.
