ƒ Enlarged purchasing power helps to counterweight the strong supplier

consolidation (top 3 account for more than 80% of market)

ƒ Additional (typical) synergies in admin, finance, IT, etc.

z The acquisition of Temtco supports significantly the leading position of

Primary and Namasco in the plate distribution segment

ƒ Securing continuing specialty plate supply through Temtco’s supplier

relations

ƒ Leveraging Temtco’s customer base for sale of Namasco/Primary’s

commodity plate and vice versa

ƒ Broad geographic coverage with five locations Leading

position in plate segment

Strong acquisition criteria

Further acquisitions in core markets and Eastern Europe:

● Leverage existing structure in core markets with

small-and mid-size bolt-on acquisitions

● Large scale acquisitions when appropriate

● Acquisitions in Eastern Europe to increase footprint

Focus on targets in 3 directions:

● Expansion of geographic reach

● Extension of customer base ● Extension of product portfolio

Focus on targets at attractive valuations:

● EV/EBITDA multiple between 4x and 6x

Focus on targets with significant synergy and scale effects:

● Stronger purchasing power

● Streamlining operations and processes, integrating IT ● Integration of STAR

Steel cycle and EBITDA/cash flow relationship

Comments

n Klöckner & Co buys and sells products at spot prices generally

o Sales increase as a function of the steel price inflation environment

p Cost of material are based on an

average cost method for inventory and therefore lag the steel price increase

q This time lag creates accounting windfall profits (windfall losses in a decreasing steel price environment) inflating

(deflating) EBITDA

r Assuming stable inventory volume cash flow is impacted by higher NWC needs

s The windfall profits (losses) are mirrored by inventory book value increases

(decreases)
