OFFERING OF SENIOR NOTES
PROVIDENCE, RI, April 11, 2011—Nortek, Inc. (“Nortek”) (OTC QB: NTKS) announced today that it
intends to offer $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2021 (the
“Notes”). Proceeds of the Notes offering will be used, in part, to refinance the Company’s
outstanding 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2013.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy,
nor shall there be any sale of the Notes, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or
sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction.
This press release contains forward-looking statements. These statements are based on
Nortek’s current plans and expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
future activities and results of operations to be materially different from those set forth in the

and commercial markets, interest rates, employment levels, inflation, foreign currency
fluctuations, consumer spending levels, exposure to foreign economies, the rate of sales growth,
prices, and product and warranty liability claims. Nortek undertakes no obligation to update
publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise. For further information, please refer to the reports and filings of Nortek with the
