SAINT-GOBAIN SIGNS WITH 24 BANKS 
 A EURO 3 BILLION  CREDIT FACILITY WITH A 5 
YEAR MATURITY 
 
 
 
Compagnie de Saint-Gobain today signed, with a large group of 24 banks*, a 
revolving credit facility for an amount of Euro 3 billion, maturing in December 
2015. 
 
The operation was significantly oversubscribed at Euro 3.5 billion, enabling 
Saint-Gobain to increase the size of the facility to Euro 3 billion from Euro 2 
billion at launch, which underlines banks' confidence in the credit quality of 
Saint-Gobain. 
 
Reflecting improved market conditions the initial margin of this facility is set 
at 75 basis points, based on Saint-Gobain's long-term senior debt being 
currently rated BBB by Standard & Poor's and Baa2 by Moody's. 
 
This operation allows Saint-Gobain to replace a Euro 2 billion facility 
otherwise maturing in November 2011 and to reduce from Euro 2 billion to Euro 1 
billion another credit facility maturing in June 2013. It therefore reinforces 
the Group's strong liquidity for the next 5 years. 
 
* Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Barclays, BNP 
Paribas, Citi, Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank, Crédit Mutuel - CIC, 
Commerzbank, HSBC, Intesa SanPaolo, JP Morgan, Mizuho, Natixis, The Royal Bank
