Privet Fund Management LLC (together with its affiliates, "Privet") and UPG Enterprises LLC (together with its affiliates, “UPG” and collectively with Privet, the "Stockholder Group" or “we” or “us”), which collectively own approximately 24.9% of the outstanding common stock of Synalloy Corporation (NASDAQ: SYNL) (“Synalloy” or the "Company"), today commented on Synalloy’s eleventh-hour rescindment of the limited duration stockholder rights plan unanimously authorized by its eight-member Board of Directors (the “Board”) roughly three months ago. As a reminder, Privet and UPG have nominated five highly-qualified and independent candidates – Andee Harris, Chris Hutter, Aldo Mazzaferro, Ben Rosenzweig and John Schauerman – for election to the Company’s Board at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) scheduled to be held on June 30, 2020.

Ben Rosenzweig, Partner at Privet, and Chris Hutter, Co-Founder at UPG, commented:

“Only three months after adopting a poison pill without stockholder approval, the Board is now trying to court favor with dissatisfied investors and win their votes by walking its decision back on the eve of the Annual Meeting. The Board’s clandestine rescindment of Synalloy’s poison pill over the weekend does not address the fact that the step was taken without stockholder approval in the first place. Moreover, conspicuously missing from Synalloy’s announcement is a commitment from the Board that it will not just unilaterally put the pill back in place following the Annual Meeting should the incumbent directors retain control. This is why we are urging stockholders to avoid being misled by what amounts to a contradictory and disingenuous ploy.

Stockholders should recognize that this latest maneuver, which was enacted by the Board as Synalloy’s stock continues its descent toward a five-year low, only reinforces the need for meaningful change in the boardroom. The same entrenched directors who claimed they were implementing a poison pill because of the pandemic and Synalloy’s purported trading price discount have now covertly rescinded it for entirely self-serving purposes. In light of this, we question how stockholders can believe that a Board dominated by the incumbents is best situated to save Synalloy. After failing to produce a strategic plan with tangible targets and projected goals over the course of this election contest, the incumbents have demonstrated once and for all that their priority is self-preservation over stockholder value creation.”

Do not be misled: Synalloy’s leadership has made clear it will say anything to try to retain power.

Only by voting on the WHITE Proxy Card to elect all five of our nominees will stockholders benefit from our strategic plan for achieving up to $25 per share in near-term value and a real vision for a stronger Synalloy.
