CERTAINTEED CORPORATION CONFIRMS COMMITMENT
TO TENDER OFFER
Valley Forge, PA, May 3, 2000 - CertainTeed Corporation, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain (Paris, France), today expressed its
disappointment with Brunswick Technologies, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: BTIC) response to
CertainTeed's offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of BTI at a cash
price of $8.00 per share.
CertainTeed issued the following statement:
"While we haven't had an opportunity to fully review BTI's SEC filing, we are
disappointed with BTI's rejection of our $8.00 all cash tender offer. We are
committed to pursuing this transaction, which we believe offers substantial
benefits to both BTI shareholders and employees. Our offer delivers significant
and immediate value to BTI shareholders and the BTI / CertainTeed combination
offers BTI employees more opportunities in an organization with far greater
scale and resources. We welcome BTI's commitment to explore strategic
alternatives to enhance value for all shareholders and look forward to sitting
down with the committee of independent directors and management to discuss the
benefits of this transaction."
Lehman Brothers Inc. is financial advisor to CertainTeed Corporation and
Compagnie de Saint-Gobain and Dealer Manager for the offer, and Innisfree M&A
Incorporated is acting as Information Agent for the offer.
CertainTeed Corporation is a leading manufacturer of roofing; vinyl and fiber
cement siding; vinyl windows; vinyl fencing, deck and railing; ventilation
products; piping products; fiber glass insulation; and fiber glass products for
reinforcing plastics and other materials. The company is headquartered in
Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, and has more than 7,000 employees and 45
manufacturing facilities throughout the United States.
