Continental Building Products, Inc. announced that Chantal D. Veevaete and Michael J. Keough will join its board of directors as independent directors, effective on March 14, 2016. They will replace Chad Suss and Kevin Barner, who were affiliated with the company's private equity sponsor, Lone Star Funds. Messrs.

The board of directors has determined that each of Ms. Veevaete and Mr. Keough is independent under the New York Stock Exchange governance rules.

Most recently, from May 2012 through December 2014 Ms. Veevaete served as Senior Vice President, Human Resources of Phillips 66, a Fortune 10 diversified energy and logistics company, and prior to that she helped implement the separation of Phillips 66 from ConocoPhillips. Most recently, Mr. Keough served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Stronghaven Inc., which has been a subsidiary of Hood Container Corporation since December 2013.
