PLEASE VOTE THE ENCLOSED WHITE PROXY CARD;
WE GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT
January 17, 2012
Dear Fellow Stockholders:
As you likely are aware, last week a Carl Icahn affiliate announced that the tender offer for Commercial Metals Company (CMC) had expired, and Mr. Icahn stated that he and his affiliates would discontinue their proxy fight. As a result, only CMC’s highly qualified nominees are now standing for election at the meeting on Friday, February 3, 2012.
We are pleased with this development and continue to seek your support for the election of our nominees, Harold L. Adams, Joe Alvarado and Anthony A. Massaro. Each of these candidates brings extremely relevant expertise to the CMC Board, including significant leadership skills, business acumen and valuable metals industry experience.
To vote for the Company’s three director nominees, please vote the enclosed white proxy card. For your convenience, we have arranged for telephone and internet voting. Simply follow the instructions on the enclosed form of proxy.
Your Board and management have great confidence in CMC’s future, and our commitment to delivering
enhanced value to our stockholders remains steadfast. We thank you for your continued support.
On behalf of the Commercial Metals Company Board of Directors:
|
|
|||||
| Anthony A. Massaro Chairman of the Board |
Joe Alvarado President and CEO |
