For Immediate Release

RELATED COMPANIES SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES KSW TENDER OFFER

Long Island City, New York and New York, New York – October 11, 2012 – Related Companies and KSW, Inc. (“KSW”) (NASDAQ:KSW) today announced that Related Companies’ indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Kool Acquisition Corporation (“Purchaser”), has successfully completed its cash tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of KSW.

The tender offer expired as scheduled at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on October 10, 2012, and was not extended. The depositary for the tender offer has advised that as of the expiration time, approximately 3,962,679 shares of KSW common stock (excluding 14,938 shares subject to notices of guaranteed delivery) were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, representing approximately 62.05% of the outstanding shares of common stock of KSW on a fully diluted basis. All shares that have been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn have been accepted for purchase, and payment for such shares will be made promptly in accordance with the terms of the tender offer and merger agreement at the offer price of $5.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, Purchaser will immediately exercise its “top-up” option to purchase directly from KSW an additional number of shares for $5.00 per share (the same per share price paid in the tender offer) so that Purchaser owns at least 90% of the outstanding shares of KSW common stock, and Purchaser will complete and close the merger today without a vote or meeting of KSW’s stockholders through the “short-form” merger provisions of Delaware law.

At the effective time of the merger, all remaining KSW shares (other than shares owned by Related Companies or any of its subsidiaries or held by KSW or any of its subsidiaries as treasury shares or shares held by KSW’s stockholders who are entitled to and properly demand appraisal rights for their shares under Delaware law) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive the same $5.00 per share in cash paid in the tender offer, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. In addition, upon the completion of the merger, KSW’s common stock will cease to be traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market and KSW will become a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Related Companies. KSW stockholders who did not tender their shares in the tender offer will receive relevant information in the mail on how to receive payment for their shares in connection with the merger.
