<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">FORT WAYNE, INDIANA</font></i><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">, June&nbsp;12, 2008&#151; Steel
Dynamics,&nbsp;Inc. (NASDAQ/GS: STLD) today announced that it now expects
second quarter 2008 earnings to be within a range of $0.90 to $0.95 per diluted
share. The increase in expectations is based primarily on stronger than
anticipated shipping volume and selling values for flat-rolled steel products
and stronger volume and margins in recycling. The company&#146;s initial guidance
for the second quarter, provided on April&nbsp;21, was $0.80 to $0.90 per
diluted share.</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;">&#147;We continue to experience strong market conditions
for our steel and recycled metals businesses,&#148; said Keith Busse, Chairman and
CEO of Steel Dynamics. &#147;In addition to the improving performance of the Flat
Rolled Division and The Techs, our long products divisions continue to perform
well, with continued strong order activity and backlogs. Strong shipping
volumes and profit margins of our OmniSource Corporation subsidiary are
expected to continue in the third quarter as well, as both internal and external
demand for recycled metals remain strong.&#148;</font></p>
