The Corporation continues to experience operational and financial challenges due
to difficult market conditions and a lower volume of sales. This has resulted in
negative operating cash flows, ongoing working capital deficits and cash
shortfalls. In order to address the challenges and uncertainties facing the
Corporation, the Board has authorized senior management to explore strategic
alternatives in an effort to maximize shareholder value, including the potential
sale of all or part of the Corporation, a privatization transaction, or the
entering into of strategic partnerships or other business combinations. While
undertaking this process, the Board and senior management team remain highly
focused on executing Excellium's long-term operational plan and improving its
financial and operational performance.


There can be no assurance that the Board's exploration of strategic alternatives
will result in any transaction being pursued, entered into or consummated.
Excellium does not intend to discuss or disclose developments with respect to
this process until the Board has approved a definitive course of action.
