are based on the company&#146;s current expectations, estimates and assumptions and because forward-looking statements address future results, events and conditions, they, by their very nature, involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which
are unforeseeable and beyond the company&#146;s control. Such known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause actual results, performance or other achievements to differ materially from the anticipated results, performance or
achievements expressed, projected or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors, some of which are discussed under &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in Section&nbsp;3 of the Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
19&nbsp;May 2016, include, but are not limited to: all matters relating to or arising out of the prior manufacture of products that contained asbestos by current and former company subsidiaries; required contributions to AICF, any shortfall in AICF
and the effect of currency exchange rate movements on the amount recorded in the company&#146;s financial statements as an asbestos liability; governmental loan facility to AICF; compliance with and changes in tax laws and treatments; competition
and product pricing in the markets in which the company operates; the consequences of product failures or defects; exposure to environmental, asbestos, putative consumer class action or other legal proceedings; general economic and market
conditions; the supply and cost of raw materials; possible increases in competition and the potential that competitors could copy the company&#146;s products; reliance on a small number of customers; a customer&#146;s inability to pay; compliance
with and changes in environmental and health and safety laws; risks of conducting business internationally; compliance with and changes in laws and regulations; currency exchange risks; dependence on customer preference and the concentration of the
company&#146;s customer base on large format retail customers, distributors and dealers; dependence on residential and commercial construction markets; the effect of adverse changes in climate or weather patterns; possible inability to renew credit
facilities on terms favorable to the company, or at all; acquisition or sale of businesses and business segments; changes in the company&#146;s key management personnel; inherent limitations on internal controls; use of accounting estimates; and all
other risks identified in the company&#146;s reports filed with Australian, Irish and US securities regulatory agencies and exchanges (as appropriate). The company cautions you that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive and that other
risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from those referenced in the company&#146;s forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are statements of the company&#146;s
current expectations concerning future results, events and conditions. The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or information except as required by law. </P>
