PRESS RELEASE

Filing of the 2019 Universal Registration Document and update on the impact
                          of the Covid-19 pandemic

Imerys filed with the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) on March 24,
2020, its 2019 Universal Registration Document including the annual financial
report and the report of the Board of Directors on corporate governance.

The 2019 Universal Registration Document includes additional information
concerning the COVID-19 pandemic in chapter 2 "Risk factors and internal
control" (page 39) and Chapter 5 "Comments on fiscal year 2019" (paragraph 5.4
- page 160). The  Group has established a Crisis Management Team to handle the
emergency  and has set up a strict monitoring process under the supervision of
the Executive Committee. The Group has taken measures to ensure the health and
safety of its employees and stakeholders  and  to  contain  the negative
effects the virus might have on its business. Imerys is a global company and
the spread of the coronavirus outbreak is expected to cause a drop in activity,
potentially resulting in temporary plant shutdowns due to a decline in demand
in certain end markets (automotive, iron & steel, construction), legal
containment measures ordered by local authorities and/or supply and logistical
difficulties. In this context, Imerys, which can count on a strong balance
sheet, is implementing any necessary measure to preserve its profitability,
liquidity and overall financial structure.

The 2019 Universal Registration Document is available to  the  public  free  of
charge under the conditions provided by applicable regulations and may be
consulted on the Group's website www.imerys.com. It is also available on the
AMF's website (www.amf-france.org).

The English version of the 2019 Universal Registration Document will be
available within the next few days on the Group's website.
