Brower Piven Encourages Investors Who Have Losses in Excess of $500,000 From Investment in Carbo Ceramics, Inc. to Inquire About the Lead Plaintiff Position in Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit Before the April 9, 2012 Lead Plaintiff Deadline

Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Carbo Ceramics, Inc. ("Carbo Ceramics" or the "Company") (NYSE: CRR) during the period between October 27, 2011 and January 26, 2012, inclusive (the "Class Period").

If you have suffered a net loss for all transactions in Carbo Ceramics, Inc. common stock during the Class Period, you may obtain additional information about this lawsuit and your ability to become a lead plaintiff by contacting Brower Piven at www.browerpiven.com, by email at hoffman@browerpiven.com, by calling 410/415-6616, or at Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, 1925 Old Valley Road, Stevenson, Maryland 21153. Attorneys at Brower Piven have combined experience litigating securities and class action cases of over 60 years.

No class has yet been certified in the above action. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff no later than April 9, 2012 and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in the Company during the Class Period. You are not required to have sold your shares to seek damages or to serve as a Lead Plaintiff.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the Company's failure to disclose during the Class Period that the Company was experiencing a dramatic decline in proppant sales in the Haynesville region and was being negatively impacted by logistical problems such that it was not able to shift resources to liquid plays where drilling activity was increasing. According to the complaint, after, on January 26, 2012, Carbo Ceramics revealed that the Company had seen a 70% decline in proppant sales in the Haynesville region and that it had been unable to shift resources to various liquid plays due to logistical issues, the value of Carbo Ceramics shares declined significantly.

If you choose to retain counsel, you may retain Brower Piven without financial obligation or cost to you, or you may retain other counsel of your choice. You need take no action at this time to be a member of the class.
