The offer began 19 th November 2012, and is scheduled to end on 18 th December 2012. According to the terms and conditions of the offer, the company’s stockholders will have the opportunity to tender some or all of their shares at a price within the range of $15 to $17.50 per share in increments of $0.25 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest.

If, after purchasing all shares tendered at the lowest per share purchase price, the company has not purchased shares for $60 million in aggregate, then International Wire Group will purchase shares tendered at the next lowest per share purchase price, and will continue to purchase shares at each succeeding per share purchase price increment, from lowest to highest, until the company has purchased shares for $60 million. The aggregate purchase price of $60 million represents approximately 35 percent to 40.9 percent of the company’s issued and outstanding shares as of 14 th November 2012.
