OREANDA-NEWS. January 25, 2008. Evraz Group S.A. (LSE: EVR) (Evraz) and Claymont Steel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLTE) (Claymont Steel) today announced that Evraz has completed its acquisition of Claymont Steel via a “short-form” merger of Titan Acquisition Sub, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Evraz, with and into Claymont Steel pursuant to the applicable provisions of Delaware law. As a result of the merger, Claymont Steel is now an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Evraz.

The merger followed the announcement on January 17, 2008 of the successful closing of the cash tender offer by Titan Acquisition Sub, Inc. to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of Claymont Steel for $23.50 per share, in which approximately 96.6% of the shares were tendered (including shares delivered pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery). Payment has been made for the tendered shares.

Pursuant to the merger, each share of Claymont Steel common stock not accepted for payment in the tender offer, other than those as to which holders exercise dissenters’ rights and those held by Evraz or Claymont Steel or their respective subsidiaries, has been converted into the right to receive the $23.50 price per share that was paid in the tender offer, without interest thereon and less any applicable stock transfer taxes and withholding taxes.
