<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><b><font size="3" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Steel Dynamics Issues Statement
Regarding Industry Consolidation Activity</font></b></p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10.0pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">FORT
WAYNE, INDIANA</font></i>, April
26, 2007&#151; Steel Dynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ-GS: STLD) today issued a statement to
clarify its position regarding recent consolidation activity in the U.S. metals
industry. In response to inquiries and comments recently made in the press
regarding M&amp;A activity, SDI stated that it is not currently in talks
concerning, nor does it have any immediate plans to involve itself in, any of
the potential primary-steelmaking consolidation transactions that have recently
been the focus of interest in the financial press.</p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;SDI
is a growth company that has always prudently evaluated growth opportunities
whether they are organic or by acquisition,&#148; said Keith Busse, Chairman and CEO
of Steel Dynamics. &#147;We believe that some of the multiples being paid, offered,
or suggested for certain steel-making assets may not represent the best values
or alternatives for SDI shareholders. Organic or greenfield growth in certain
sectors (expanding existing SDI facilities, or building and operating new, more
cost-effective operations) may well be a better alternative.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Since
our start-up in 1996, Steel Dynamics has achieved a compound annual growth rate
of over 20 percent and has consistently demonstrated some of the best operating
and financial metrics among U.S. steelmakers. To a large extent, our growth has
resulted from the successful construction and operation of new, efficient
steelmaking operations. We have looked at many M&amp;A opportunities over the
past few years and have sought to pursue relatively few. The acquisitions we
have made in recent years have been at reasonable valuations and are providing
strong returns on invested capital.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;Steel
Dynamics continues to be interested in pursuing growth at a reasonable price,
balancing the additional premium that may be required by an acquisition against
the cost of internal growth project opportunities. Our management team, which
we regard as one of the industry&#146;s strongest in terms of technical, commercial,
and entrepreneurial skills, will continue to look at opportunities that make
sense for the company, and thus, our shareholders. Each opportunity will be
evaluated on its own merits.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;With
respect to SDI&#146;s tolerance for financial leverage, it has not been our practice
to over-lever our company, nor do we intend to do so in the future. Through
disciplined growth, our debt-to-capitalization ratio has declined markedly over
the past few years. SDI&#146;s balance sheet and capital structure depict an
extremely strong company with great financial flexibility. While we are in a
strong position to undertake various projects to foster further growth, we
would only expect to proceed with projects or acquisitions that are prudent
from a financial and business operations perspective,&#148; Busse said.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Forward-Looking Statements</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This
press release contains some predictive statements about future events, such as
the merger or acquisition of companies with or by&#160; Steel Dynamics, the possible investment in
and/or construction of new production facilities, taking on additional
indebtedness, and the company&#146;s strategies to achieve future growth. These
strategies are subject to change and may not play out as we currently expect
and intend. These statements are intended to be made as &#147;forward-looking,&#148;
subject to many risks and uncertainties, within the safe harbor protections of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such predictive
statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results could
differ materially from our current expectations.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">We
refer you to SDI&#146;s detailed explanation of factors and risks that may cause
such predictive statements to turn out differently, as set forth in our most
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports which we from time to
time file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, available publicly on
the SEC Web site, www.sec.gov, and on the Steel Dynamics Web site,
www.steeldynamics.com</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Forward-looking
or predictive statements we make are based on our knowledge of our businesses
and the environment in which they operate as of the date on which the
statements were made.&#160; Due to these risks
and uncertainties, as well as matters beyond our control which can affect
forward-looking statements, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these predictive statements, which speak only as of the date of this press
release.&#160; We undertake no duty to update
or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.</font></p>
