New Enterprise Stone & Lime Co., Inc. Completes Exchange Offer for Senior Secured Notes

New Enterprise, Pennsylvania, October 31, 2013 — New Enterprise Stone & Lime Co., Inc. (“NESL”), a leading privately held, vertically integrated construction materials supplier and heavy/highway construction contractor in Pennsylvania and western New York and a national traffic safety services and equipment provider, announced that it has closed its offer to exchange up to $301 million in aggregate principal amount of its 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “Exchange Notes”), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for an equal aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 13% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “Old Notes) that were originally issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act.  The aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes includes the $265 million in aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes initially issued in a private placement transaction on March 15, 2012, increased by an additional $36 million in lieu of cash issued as payment in kind interest in respect of the Old Notes on the September 15, 2012, March 15, 2013 and September 15, 2013 interest payment dates.

The exchange offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 30, 2013.  As of that time, $301 million in aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes, or approximately 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Old Notes, had been validly tendered and accepted for exchange in the exchange offer.

The exchange offer was made to satisfy NESL’s obligations under a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the original issuance of the Old Notes, and did not represent a new financing transaction.  The terms of the Exchange Notes are substantially identical to the terms of the Old Notes, except that the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and will not be subject to the transfer restrictions and registration rights that related to the Old Notes.

This press release is for information purposes only and is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Old Notes or the Exchange Notes and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
