`
`CONSOLIDATED LIST OF CREDITORS
`HOLDING LARGEST UNSECURED CLAIMS
`
`’Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc. and Hanson Permanente Cement, Inc. (together,
`the "Debtors") each filed a petition in this Court on the date hereof for relief under chapter 11 of
`title ll of the United States Code. Contemporaneously with the filing of their petitions, the
`Debtors filed a motion requesting, among other things, authority to file a consolidated list of
`creditors holding the largest unsecured claims (the "Largest Unsecured Creditors List") and
`exclude asbestos personal injury claimants from the list and instead include a separate
`consolidated list of the 30 asbestos plaintiff firms with the largest number or scope of asbestos
`cases filed against the Debtors.
`
`The Largest Unsecured Creditors List is based on the Debtors’ books and records
`as of approximately September 29, 2016, and was prepared in accordance with Rule 1007(d) of
`the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure for filing in the Debtors' chapter 11 cases. The
`Largest Unsecured Creditors List does not include (1) persons who come Within the definition of
`"insider“ set forth in 11 U.S.C. § 101(31), (2) secured creditors, unless the value of the collateral
`is such that the unsecured deficiency places the creditor among the holders of the largest
`unsecured claims, or (3) asbestos personal injury claimants or the law firms representing those
`claimants. The information contained in the Largest Unsecured Creditors List shall not
`constitute an admission by, nor shall it be binding on, the Debtors.
`
`The Debtors are the following entities (the last four digits of their respective taxpayer identification
`numbers follow in parentheses): Kaiser Gypsum Company, Inc. (0188) and Hanson Permanente Cement,
`Inc. (”3313). The Debtors' address is 300 B. John Carpenter Freeway, Irving, Texas ’3‘5062.

`Consolidated List of Creditors Who Have the 20 Largest Unsecured Claims and
`Are Not Insiders
`
`A list of creditors holding the 20 largest unsecured claims must be filed in a Chapter 11 or Chapter 9 case. Include claims which the
`debtor disputes. Do not include claims by any person or entity who is an insider, as defined in 11 11.5.8. § 101(31). Also, do not
`include claims by secured creditors, unless the unsecured claim resulting from inadequate collateral value places the creditor among
`the holders of the 20 largest unsecured claims.
