(Nasdaq: ROCK), a leading manufacturer and distributor of products for building and industrial markets, today announced that it intends to commence an offering of $210 million in aggregate principal amount of senior subordinated notes due 2021, subject to market and other conditions (the “Notes”). The Notes will be guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by certain of Gibraltar's existing and future subsidiaries.

Gibraltar intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase all of Gibraltar’s outstanding 8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes”) pursuant to the cash tender offer and consent solicitation announced today by Gibraltar (and to redeem any outstanding 2015 Notes not so repurchased and/or satisfy and discharge the indenture governing the 2015 Notes).

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities, and no offer, solicitation or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the Notes will be made only by means of a confidential offering memorandum. This press release is not an offer to purchase, a solicitation of an offer to purchase or a solicitation of a consent with respect to any of the 2015 Notes. The tender offer and consent solicitation announced today are being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated January 16, 2013, and related Letter of Transmittal and Consent. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135(c) under the Securities Act.
