ITEM 7.01 |
Regulation FD.
|
On May 30, 2025, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on
Form 10 filed with the SEC by Amrize Ltd (the “Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holcim Ltd. (“Holcim”), on May 7, 2025 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with Holcim’s previously announced plan to spin-off Holcim’s North
American business to Holcim’s shareholders (the “Spin-off”). Upon consummation of the Spin-off, the Company will be an independent, publicly traded company. The Registration Statement includes a preliminary information statement that describes the
Spin-off and provides important information regarding the Company’s business and management.
The final information statement, dated June 2, 2025 (the “Information Statement”), is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. Holcim expects a
Notice of Internet Availability of Information Statement Materials, the form of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto, to be mailed to holders of Holcim’s ordinary shares as of June 2, 2025 beginning on or about June 3, 2025.
The information set forth in this Item 7.01 is deemed to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information set forth in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the
Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
ITEM 8.01 |
Other Events.
|
On June 2, 2025, Holcim issued a press release announcing, among other things, (1) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and (2)
that Holcim has selected June 20, 2025 as the cum-dividend date (the “Cum-Dividend Date”) for the distribution of the Company’s ordinary shares as a dividend-in-kind (the “Distribution”). Each of Holcim’s shareholders will receive one ordinary share
of the Company for every one ordinary share of Holcim they own as of the close of business on the Cum-Dividend Date. Ordinary shares of the Company are expected to commence trading on a standalone basis on the New York Stock Exchange at 9:30 a.m.,
New York City time, and on the SIX Swiss Exchange at 9:00 a.m., Zurich time, on June 23, 2025 (the “Ex-Dividend Date”) under the ticker symbol “AMRZ”.
Completion of the Distribution is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as set forth in the form of Separation
and Distribution Agreement filed with the SEC as part of the Registration Statement. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.3 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. References to websites and social media sites in the press
release are provided for convenience only. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, any website or social media site referenced in the press release is not incorporated by reference into this Form 8-K.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange
Act, including statements relating to the planned Spin-off, the expected timing of the transaction and the anticipated benefits of the transaction. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking
statements. Words such as “anticipate(s),” “expect(s),” “intend(s),” “plan(s),” “believe(s),” “plan(s),” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “seek(s),” and similar expressions, or the negative of these terms, are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties that could lead to actual results differing materially from those projected, forecasted or expected. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance
that its expectations will be attained.
Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include, but are not limited to: the effect of
political, economic and market conditions and geopolitical events, the logistical and other challenges inherent in the Company’s operations, the actions and initiatives of current and potential competitors, the level and volatility of, interest rates
and other market indices, the outcome of pending litigation, the impact of current, pending and future legislation and regulation, additional tax expenses or exposures that could affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows, inadequate or ineffective internal controls, the ability and willingness of the Company and Holcim to meet and/or perform their obligations under any contractual arrangements that are entered into among the parties in connection with the
Spin-off and any of their obligations to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against various claims, litigation and liabilities and the ability to achieve some or all the benefits that the Company expects to achieve from the
Spin-off.
All forward-looking statements set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that
the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on the Company or its business or operations. Forward-looking statements
set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances, changes in expectations or the
occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law.
