ISSUES STATEMENT REGARDING SACHEM HEAD NOMINATIONS </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><I>Confirms Receipt of Director Nominations; No Shareholder Action Required at This

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>DALLAS &#150; May</B><B></B><B>&nbsp;8 &#150;</B> Eagle Materials (NYSE: EXP, &#147;Eagle&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) today confirmed that Sachem
Head Capital Management (&#147;Sachem Head&#148;) has submitted nominations for two candidates for election to the Company&#146;s Board of Directors at its 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, scheduled for August&nbsp;6, 2019. Eagle shareholders
are not required to take any action at this time. The Eagle Board of Directors issued the following statement in response: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Eagle&#146;s
Board is committed to delivering long-term value for all shareholders, and is open-minded and receptive toward ideas that advance this objective. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As announced on April&nbsp;18, 2019, following consultation with and input from the Company&#146;s largest shareholders, including Sachem Head,
the Eagle Board and management team commenced a strategic review of the Company&#146;s portfolio of businesses to help ensure the Company&#146;s inherent value is appropriately reflected in the marketplace and the Company is best positioned to
unlock that value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Board&#146;s independent directors, who have extensive operational, financial and transactional experience, are
deeply involved with the strategic portfolio review and believe that execution of the review already underway with the existing Board will result in the most efficient, thorough and timely result. The review is ongoing and the Company does not
intend to publicly discuss or disclose developments with respect to this process unless and until the Board has approved a definitive action, or the process is otherwise concluded. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Notwithstanding the ongoing strategic review, the Board and management team are executing a strategy designed to strongly position the Company
for growth and value creation across industry cycles. The Company also recently announced Board authorization for the repurchase of an additional 10.0&nbsp;million shares of common stock, bringing the Company&#146;s total repurchase authorization to
10.7&nbsp;million shares, or nearly 25% of the Company&#146;s outstanding share capital. These authorized repurchases are in addition to the nearly $300&nbsp;million Eagle has already returned to shareholders during fiscal 2019 through a combination
of share repurchases and dividends. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Eagle Board will continue to take actions that it believes are in the best interests of the
Company and all of its shareholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Eagle Board will review Sachem Head&#146;s materials and will present its formal recommendation regarding
director nominations and any shareholder proposals in the Company&#146;s definitive proxy materials that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed to shareholders eligible to vote at the 2019 Annual Meeting. </P>
