CTB INTERNATIONAL CORP. ANNOUNCES ITS REINCORPORATION IN INDIANA
MILFORD, Ind., Oct. 22, 1999 - CTB International Corp. (NASDAQ: CTBC) today
announced that its Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the

would not be required under the current Indiana tax system. The company is
filing an information statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
which will be distributed to stockholders of record as of September 21, 1999.
The company anticipates that the reincorporation will be completed by the end of
this year.
