NEW YORK'S FIRST BANK - FOUNDED 1784 BY ALEXANDER HAMILTON

Dear Class B Common Stockholder,
Due to a clerical error in our printing process, the recent proxy material
mailing to you for Sequa Corporation contains an incorrect statement on the
proxy card admission ticket attached to your voting card.
This statement incorrectly indicated that the share breakdown printed on your
admission ticket represents the number of votes that you are entitled to, rather
than the number of shares that you own. The information printed is the number of
shares that you own for each class of stock. Your Class B Common Stock is
entitled to ten votes per share.
The Bank of New York's computers will record your vote correctly; however, if
you have already returned your proxy card and wish to change your vote because
of this information, please contact The Bank of New York at 1-800-524-4458, and
a new proxy card will be mailed to you.
Please accept our apologies for this error and any inconvenience that it has
caused.
THE BANK OF NEW YORK
