Gibraltar Industries Announces Pricing of Senior Subordinated Notes

Buffalo, New York, January 18, 2013 - Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROCK), a leading manufacturer and distributor of products for building and industrial markets, today announced the pricing of its offering of $210 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior subordinated notes due 2021 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be guaranteed on an unsecured senior subordinated basis by certain of Gibraltar’s existing and future subsidiaries.

Gibraltar intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, along with cash on hand, to repurchase, redeem and/or satisfy and discharge all of its outstanding 8.00% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015. Net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, after deducting initial purchaser discounts and the Company’s estimated fees and expenses, is expected to be approximately $206.6 million. We expect the offerings to close on January 31, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes and related guarantees will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, 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 is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes or any other securities, and no offer, solicitation or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
