<p style="color:black;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" color="black" face="Times New Roman" style="color:windowtext;font-size:10.0pt;">On May&nbsp;8, 2008, Steel
Dynamics,&nbsp;Inc. announced that</font><font size="2" color="black" face="Times New Roman" style="color:windowtext;font-size:10.0pt;"> its wholly-owned subsidiary OmniSource Corporation and
Recycle South, LLC, one of the largest regional scrap recycling companies in
the nation, have executed a definitive agreement whereby OmniSource, through a
wholly-owned subsidiary, Carolina Investment Company, LLC, will acquire the
remaining stock of Recycle South.</font></p>

<p style="color:black;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-autospace:none;"><font size="2" color="black" face="Times New Roman" style="color:windowtext;font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;page-break-after:avoid;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant to the
agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of
both companies, OmniSource, which already owns 25% of Recycle South, will
acquire the remaining outstanding equity interests in Recycle South in a
transaction valued at approximately $500 million.&#160; Recycle South&#146;s equity owners will receive
3,938,000 shares of Steel Dynamics common stock and $232 million in cash. The
aggregate transaction value includes the assumption of certain liabilities,
including net debt, which is expected to be approximately $135 million at
closing. Completion of the transaction is subject only to regulatory approval,
and is expected to close before the end of the second quarter of 2008.</font></p>

Dynamics/OmniSource To Acquire Recycle South</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">FORT
WAYNE, INDIANA, May&nbsp;8, 2008 &#151; Steel Dynamics,&nbsp;Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD)
today announced that OmniSource Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Steel
Dynamics, and Recycle South, LLC have executed a definitive agreement whereby
OmniSource will acquire the remaining equity interests in Recycle South, one of
the largest regional scrap metal recycling companies in the nation. Recycle
South was formed in August&nbsp;2007 by the merger of Carolinas Recycling Group
and Atlantic Scrap and Processing. The company is headquartered in Spartanburg,
South Carolina.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Pursuant
to the agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the boards of
directors of both companies, OmniSource, which already owns 25 percent of
Recycle South, will acquire the remaining equity interests in a transaction valued
at approximately $500 million. Current Recycle South equity owners will receive
3,938,000 shares of Steel Dynamics common stock, valued at approximately $138
million and $232 million in cash. The aggregate transaction value includes the
assumption of certain liabilities, including net debt, which are expected to
total approximately $135 million at closing. Completion of the transaction is
subject only to regulatory approval, and is expected to close before the end of
the second quarter of 2008.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Recycle
South employs 600 people in 19 locations throughout North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Georgia. On an annualized basis using actual results from September&nbsp;of
2007 to March&nbsp;of 2008, the company generated revenues of approximately
$670 million from the processing of 1.4 million tons of ferrous scrap and 150
million pounds of nonferrous scrap. The company will operate as a division of
OmniSource Corporation, and will be called OmniSource Southeast. As part of
OmniSource, all current management will remain in place and will continue to
focus on ferrous and nonferrous scrap processing, brokerage, and the industrial
scrap management needs of its customers.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Keith
Busse, Chairman and CEO of Steel Dynamics commented, &#147;This transaction
significantly expands our recycled metals business platform created by the
acquisition of OmniSource in October&nbsp;2007. It demonstrates SDI&#146;s strategic
commitment to the continued expansion of ferrous and non-ferrous recycling,
which is an important element of our overall growth plan. The additional
capacity of the Recycle South operations brings our company&#146;s total annual
ferrous scrap processing capacity to approximately seven million tons.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Danny
Rifkin, President of OmniSource added, &#147;This transaction demonstrates the
company&#146;s willingness to capitalize on growth opportunities within the scrap
processing segment and expand our geographic footprint into a region where both
industrial and obsolete scrap generation is increasing. Having been partners
with the members of Recycle South for some time, we are confident that
integration efforts will be accomplished in a timely and efficient manner,
allowing us to pursue further growth in this and other regions.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Marvin
Siegel, Chairman and CEO of Recycle South said, &#147;We look forward to the next
stage of our involvement with OmniSource and are excited to join the Steel

relationship will make for a natural transition allowing us to sustain our
growth pattern and maintain the highest level of service to our customers.&#160; Our strength has always been based in the </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">About the Companies</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Steel Dynamics,&nbsp;Inc.</font></i></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> is the fifth
largest producer of carbon steel in the U.S. and is one of the nation&#146;s largest
metals recyclers. Producing steel from recycled steel scrap in five
electric-arc-furnace mini-mills, the company shipped 5.6 million tons of steel
in 2007 and had consolidated revenues of $4.4 billion. Steel products include
flat-rolled steel, wide-flange beams, rails, engineered bars, merchant bars,
and specialty shapes. Steel Dynamics also produces fabricated steel building
products. In October&nbsp;2007 Steel Dynamics acquired OmniSource Corporation,
which at the time was the largest privately owned U.S. scrap metals processor.
Including scrap processing facilities previously owned by SDI, OmniSource now
processes and trades metallic scrap at 50 locations in the Eastern U.S. and
Canada. Steel Dynamics currently employs about 6,000 people.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Recycle South LLC</font></i></b><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> is one of the
leading metal recycling companies in the southeastern United States. The
company was formed in August&nbsp;2007 by the merger of Carolinas Recycling
Group, LLC and Atlantic Scrap and Processing, LLC, both of which were sizeable
processors preceding the merger. On an annualized basis using actual results
from September&nbsp;of 2007 to March&nbsp;of 2008, Recycle South generated
revenues of approximately $670 million from the processing of 1.4 million tons
of ferrous scrap and 150 million pounds of nonferrous scrap. The company
employs 600 people at 19 locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, and
Georgia.</font></p>
