Prospectus This document comprises a prospectus relating to Polypipe Group plc (the “Company”) prepared in accordance with the Prospectus Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) made under section 73A of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”). The Prospectus will be made available to the public in accordance with the Prospectus Rules. Application has been made to the FCA for all of the Shares, issued and to be issued, to be admitted to the premium listing segment of the Official List of the FCA and to London Stock Exchange plc (the “London Stock Exchange”) for all of the Shares to be admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange (“Admission”). Conditional dealings in the Shares are expected to commence on the London Stock Exchange on 11 April 2014. It is expected that Admission will become effective, and that unconditional dealings in the Shares will commence on 16 April 2014. Dealings on the London Stock Exchange before Admission will only be settled if Admission takes place. All dealings before the commencement of unconditional dealings will be of no effect if Admission does not take place and such dealings will be at the sole risk of the parties concerned. No application is currently intended to be made for the Shares to be admitted to listing or dealt with on any other exchange. The directors of the Company and the Proposed Director, whose names appear on pages 55 and 56 of this document (the “Directors”), and the Company accept responsibility for the information contained in this document. To the best of the knowledge of the Directors and the Company (who have taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case), the information contained in this document is in accordance with the facts and contains no omission likely to affect the import of such information. See “Risk Factors” in Part 2 for a discussion of certain risks and other factors that should be considered prior to any investment in the Shares.

The Stabilising Manager is not required to enter into such transactions and such transactions may be effected on any securities market, over-the-counter market, stock exchange or otherwise and may be undertaken at any time during the period commencing on the date of the commencement of conditional dealings of the Shares on the London Stock Exchange and ending no later than 30 calendar days thereafter. There is no assurance that stabilising transactions will be undertaken. Such stabilisation, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time without prior notice. Except as required by law or regulation, neither the Stabilising Manager nor any of its agents intends to disclose the extent of any over-allotments made and/or stabilisation transactions conducted in relation to the Offer. The Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “US Securities Act”). The Shares will be offered (i) in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers (“QIBs”), as defined in Rule 144A under the US Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act, and (ii) to institutional investors outside of the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the US Securities Act. Prospective investors are hereby notified that the sellers of the Shares may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of section 5 of the US Securities Act provided by Rule 144A. No actions have been taken to allow a public offering of the Shares under the applicable securities laws of any jurisdiction, including Australia, Canada, Japan or South Africa. Subject to certain exceptions, the Shares may not be offered or sold in any jurisdiction, or to or for the account or benefit of any national, resident or citizen of any jurisdiction, including Australia, Canada, Japan or South Africa. This document does not constitute an offer of, or the solicitation of an offer to subscribe for or purchase, any of the Shares to any person in any jurisdiction to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction. In connection with the Offer, the Stabilising Manager may, for stabilisation purposes, over-allot Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares comprised in the Offer. For the purposes of allowing the Stabilising Manager to cover short positions resulting from any such over-allotments and/or from sales of Shares effected by it during the stabilising period, Cavendish has granted the Stabilising Manager the Over-allotment Option, pursuant to which the Stabilising Manager may purchase or procure purchasers for additional Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of Shares comprised in the Offer (the “Over-allotment Shares”) at the Offer Price. The Over-allotment Option will be exercisable in whole or in part, upon notice by the Stabilising Manager, at any time on or before the 30th calendar day after the commencement of conditional dealings of the Shares on the London Stock Exchange. Any Over-allotment Shares made available pursuant to the Over-allotment Option will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares, including for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on the Shares, will be purchased on the same terms and conditions as the Shares being issued or sold in the Offer and will form a single class for all purposes with the other Shares. Each of the Underwriters and Moelis & Company, which are authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the FCA, is acting exclusively for the Company and no one else in connection with the Offer. None of the Underwriters or Moelis & Company will regard any other person (whether or not a recipient of this document) as a client in relation to the Offer and will not be responsible to anyone other than the Company for providing the protections afforded to their respective clients or for the giving of advice in relation to the Offer or any transaction, matter, or arrangement referred to in this document.
