completed the acquisition of Boral Limited&#146;s North American building products businesses in roofing; siding, trim and shutters; decorative stone; and windows for $2.15&nbsp;billion in an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-cash</FONT>
transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;This transaction effectively doubles the size of our portfolio in the high-growth North American building products segment,&#148; said
Westlake President and Chief Executive Officer Albert Chao. &#147;The North American building products segment, based on market analysis for new construction and remodel and repair, is expected to grow by approximately 15% during the next three
years, and Boral&#146;s high-quality architectural solutions and premium products will help us extend our leading position in the North America building products segment. We look forward to welcoming the Boral employees to the Westlake family and
realizing the tremendous opportunities to grow the combined businesses.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Boral&#146;s North American building products businesses employ
approximately 4,600 employees at 29 manufacturing sites in the United States and Mexico. Boral&#146;s North American building products businesses generated revenues in excess of $1&nbsp;billion during the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;30, 2020. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We believe that this acquisition makes our business much stronger today,&#148; continued Chao. &#147;With this acquisition, we have significantly
increased scale, added product and geographical diversity, improved our sustainable products positioning, and enhanced our growth prospects. We expect the deal to be accretive to earnings in the first full year of combined operations.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The acquisition comes after Westlake recently closed on its acquisitions of Dimex LLC, which processes recycled plastic materials to manufacture home and
lifestyle products, such as landscape edging, home and office matting, and marine deck edging; and of LASCO Fittings LLC, a leading designer, engineer and manufacturer of injected-molded PVC fittings. </P>
