SAINT-GOBAIN EXTENDS THE MATURITY AND REDUCES THE COST OF A EURO 2.44 BILLION 
BANK FACILITY 
 
 
 
23 banks* participating in the revolving credit facility signed in June 2009 
have today agreed to an amendment proposed by Saint-Gobain which introduces the 
following main changes : 
 
The final maturity of the line (currently undrawn) is extended from June 2012 to 
June 2013. 
 
The current margin of this facility is reduced from 250 to 100 basis points over 
the Euribor rate, at Saint-Gobain's current long-term senior debt rating of BBB
