 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Termination of American Depositary Share Program </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">James Hardie Industries plc (the &#147;Company&#148;) sponsors an American Depositary Share (&#147;ADS&#148;) program under which ADSs, which are listed for
trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the &#147;NYSE&#148;) and are evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (&#147;ADRs&#148;), represent the Company&#146;s CHESS Units of Foreign Securities (&#147;CUFS&#148;), each unit of which represents one
ordinary share of the Company. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the depositary under the Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement, as amended (the &#147;Deposit Agreement&#148;), that governs the ADS program. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company is party to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March&nbsp;23, 2025, as amended, among the Company, Juno Merger Sub Inc. and The AZEK
Company Inc. (the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;), pursuant to which, in connection with the consummation of the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the &#147;Merger&#148;), ordinary shares of the Company would be issued, and the
Company&#146;s ordinary shares would be listed for trading on the NYSE (the &#147;Listing&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company believes the ADS program will become
unnecessary as a result of the Listing and intends that the ADS program be terminated in connection with the Merger and the Listing. Accordingly, on May&nbsp;30, 2025, the Company and the Depository amended the Depositary Agreement to, among other
things, provide for the Depositary Agreement to terminate on July&nbsp;1, 2025, the anticipated closing date of the Merger (the date of such termination, the &#147;Effective Date&#148;), subject to the terms of the Deposit Agreement providing for
possible cancellation of such termination and/or extension of the Effective Date to a later date. Effective on the Effective Date, each registered holder of ADRs would be required on a mandatory basis to surrender such holder&#146;s ADRs to the
Company&#146;s exchange agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., for cancellation and exchange to receive one Company ordinary share for every one ADS evidenced by such holder&#146;s surrendered ADRs. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because the Merger Agreement provides that the consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions, there can be no
assurance as to when or if the Merger and the Listing, or any related termination of the Deposit Agreement, will occur. </P>
