Information responsive to Item 5.02(e):

On August 5, 2008, the Compensation Committee of Eagle Materials Inc. (the “Company”) approved the extension of Arthur R. Zunker, Jr.’s rights under his outstanding stock option and restricted stock unit agreements (the “Agreements”) through the two-year period following Mr. Zunker’s retirement date. Mr. Zunker, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Treasurer, has indicated that he will retire from the Company effective December 31, 2008, after over 37 years of service.

The Agreements have been amended to provide that during the two-year period (the “Retirement Period”) beginning on the date Mr. Zunker retires from the Company (the “Retirement Date”) and ending on the second anniversary of the Retirement Date (the “Expiration Date”), the shares of Company common stock subject to the Agreements shall continue to vest and become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Agreements, notwithstanding (a) the cessation of Mr. Zunker’s employment; (b) any requirement or condition that Mr. Zunker continue to be employed by the Company or one of its affiliates; or (c) Mr. Zunker’s death during such Retirement Period. Notwithstanding the termination provisions of the Agreements, such Agreements shall remain in force through the Retirement Period (subject to the Company’s right to settle the awards in connection with a Change in Control, as provided in the Agreements) and terminate and be of no further force or effect on the Expiration Date.
