On October 18, 2012, the Board of Directors of PPG Industries, Inc. (“PPG”) elected John V.

Mr. Faraci also has been appointed to the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.
In connection with his service as a director of PPG, Mr. Faraci will be entitled to receive compensation consistent with that of PPG’s other independent directors who are not employees of PPG, as described in PPG’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2012 under the caption “Compensation of Directors,” which portion of such proxy statement is incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Faraci is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of International Paper Company. In 2011, PPG purchased approximately $3.5 million of products and services from International Paper and sold approximately $25.6 million of products and services to International Paper. Through September 2012, PPG has purchased approximately $3.5 million of products and services from International Paper and has sold approximately $31.3 million of products and services to International Paper. Such purchases and sales were made in the ordinary course of each company’s business and amount to less than two percent of each company’s consolidated gross revenues for 2011 and for 2012 through September 30.
Mr. Faraci was not selected as a director of PPG pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between Mr. Faraci and any other person or entity.
