                                BPB plc ("BPB")
          Saint-Gobain's offer receives very low level of acceptances

BPB notes the announcement earlier today by Saint-Gobain that it has received
acceptances representing only 0.88% of the issued share capital of BPB.

This very low level of acceptances endorses the Board's view that Saint-Gobain's
offer fundamentally undervalues BPB.

The Board of BPB strongly advises shareholders to continue to reject
Saint-Gobain's offer and not complete any form of acceptance.
