BULLETIN
PROXY ISSUE
The ESOP Search Committee
requests your support in favor of
amending the governance to allow for
qualified people over 65 years of age
to represent the ESOP on the Weirton
Steel Board of Directors.
Having gone through two searches for a STEEL PERSON to
serve on the Board and Represent the Members of the ESOP, We
have found a limited amount of qualified candidates. We recently
lost Joe Nowak, a retired steel person and a person that was
thought highly of by both Management and Union officials, as our
representative because of age. We found Len Wise, another retired
steel person, to represent us on the Board and we will lose Mr.
Wise at the end of his first term because of his AGE. To end this
cycle of losing GOOD people to represent the interest of the ESOP
we must consider this Issue in a positive light.
Please vote your proxies IN FAVOR OF THE CHANGE IN
GOVERNANCE DEALING WITH THE 65 YEARS OF AGE
LIMIT.
The change on this issue is supported by the Members of the
Weirton Steel Board of Directors and the Full ESOP search
Committee.
