The 2016 DABP awards represent the deferral into ordinary shares of the IPO Bonus to which those individuals become entitled to following the successful admission of the Company's ordinary share capital to the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange plc's main market for listed securities, which occurred on 26 April 2016, as disclosed in the Company's prospectus (the "Prospectus") dated 21 April 2016 subject to the participant being an employee at the time of vesting.

No consideration was paid for the grant of the awards which are structured as nominal (1p) cost options although this sum was waived by the Company on exercise. The number of options exercised also includes a dividend equivalent in addition to the options initially granted in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

No new shares were issued in respect of these transactions with shares being transferred to the individuals from the Forterra Employee Benefit Trust.

The above notification is intended to satisfy the Company's obligations under Article 19 of the Market Abuse Regulations.
