We funded the closing payment with a combination of cash on-hand and a &#8364;400 million drawdown on this facility. We anticipate refinancing this facility in the euro bond market during calendar year 2018.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10.5pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10.5pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10.5pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10.5pt;">Dr. Jack Truong, President, International Operations of James Hardie, welcomed the completion of the acquisition which will add over 800 new James Hardie employees in Europe.  Dr. Truong said, &#8220;We welcome our new employees to the James Hardie group and acknowledge the hard work undertaken by our integration team consisting of people from James Hardie, Fermacell and our advisors to achieve this significant milestone.&#8221;  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10.5pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10.5pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10.5pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10.5pt;">Dr. Truong added, &#8220;We are ready to realize the benefits of this strategic acquisition and are excited about adding this high quality business to the James Hardie group.  Fermacell&#8217;s broad European footprint and capabilities offer the right enabling platform to accelerate our fiber cement business growth in Europe.

Fermacell&#8217;s market position, go-to-market strategy and strong management team will enable us to scale and accelerate our European business.  The Fermacell acquisition diversifies our geographic, product and end-market portfolio, complementing our strong positions in North America and Australasia, and will create significant growth opportunities and drive long-term value for customers, employees and shareholders.&#8221;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10.5pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10.5pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10.5pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10.5pt;">Beginning with the first quarter fiscal year 2019 results, James Hardie intends to include a European Building Products segment in its report of quarterly results.
