BRUNSWICK TECHNOLOGIES ENGAGES MCDONALD INVESTMENTS
AS FINANCIAL ADVISOR
BRUNSWICK, ME, APRIL 28, 2000 - Brunswick Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: BTIC)
("BTI"), a leading manufacturer and innovative developer of composite
reinforcements, today announced it has engaged McDonald Investments Inc., a full
service investment firm based in Cleveland, Ohio, as its financial advisor.
McDonald Investments will assist the BTI Board of Directors in its evaluation of
the unsolicited offer to acquire BTI by Compaigne de Saint-Gobain's wholly owned
subsidiary CertainTeed Corporation. BTI has advised shareholders not to respond
to the CertainTeed offer and that BTI's Board of Directors will provide its
recommendation on the offer to shareholders prior to May 4, 2000.
Examples of products manufactured with BTI engineered reinforcements
include: ballistic armor, boats, snowboards, railcars, truck panels, wind
blades, airframe structures, automotive parts, marine pilings, bridges, and
offshore oil and gas production equipment. BTI has manufacturing facilities in
the Maine, Texas and the UK.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
Matters discussed in this news release, including any discussion of or impact,
expressed or implied, on the Company's anticipated revenue growth, operating
results and future earnings per share contain forward-looking statements
(identified by the words "expect", "estimate", "project", "plans", "believe",
and similar expressions) that involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties.
For these statements the company claims the protection of the safe harbor of the
private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The company's results may
differ significantly from the results indicated by such forward-looking
statements. The Company's future results are dependent upon general economic
conditions, the availability of supplies of fiberglass, the ability to expand
new and existing markets, competition from competing product lines from both
fiberglass and non-fiberglass suppliers, the ability to manage growth in
inventory, the stability of its customers' capital spending plans and the
ability of the company to obtain necessary capital from time to time. These and
other risks are detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports,
including Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
