Birmingham Steel Corporation
September 15, 1998
Dear Stockholder:
Recently, you received a copy of the Company's Notice of Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, Proxy Statement and proxy card. The record date for determination
of stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting is
August 28, 1998, rather than August 21, 1998 as indicated in the Proxy
Statement. The information contained in the table of beneficial ownership of
common stock on page 2 of the Proxy Statement is provided as of August 21, 1998.
We encourage you to sign, date and return the proxy card whether or not you plan
to attend the meeting in person. Doing so will not prevent you from voting in
person if you later decide to attend the meeting.
Sincerely,
Catherine W. Pecher
