Claymont Steel Commences Tender Offer for its Outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes Due 2015

The tender offer will expire at 12:00 midnight,New York City time, on July 30, 2008, (as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Date"). Holders who validly tender their Notes prior to 5:00 p.m.,New York City time, on July 16, 2008 (as the same may be extended, the "Early Tender Date") will be eligible to receive the total consideration of $1,147.50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered, which includes an early tender payment of $20 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered. Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Date but prior to the Expiration Date will be eligible to receive the tender offer consideration of $1,127.50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered, which equals the total consideration less the early tender payment. Holders will also be paid accrued interest on tendered Notes up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date, as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The Company has the option to settle Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Date on an early settlement date, as set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

Consummation of the tender offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including but not limited to a financing condition. Consummation of the tender offer is not conditioned upon receipt of any minimum principal amount of the Notes.

Prior to the initiation of the tender offer, the Company obtained consents from holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding to certain amendments to the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued. The amendments, which are set forth in a supplemental indenture dated as of July 2, 8008, delete or modify substantially all of the restrictive covenants, as well as certain events of default and related provisions in the indenture. These changes to the indenture are applicable to all holders of Notes, whether or not such holders have given their consent and will become operative upon the early settlement date or, if the Company elects to forego early settlement, on the final settlement date, as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The only consideration received by the majority holders of the Notes for giving their consent was the agreement by the Company to commence and consummate the tender offer, which is being made to all holders of the Notes.
