<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Taylor, Mich., (January&nbsp;8, 2014) &#150; Masco Corporation (NYSE: MAS) announced today that its Board of Directors has elected Keith J. Allman, 51, to
succeed Timothy Wadhams as president and chief executive officer (CEO), and to join Masco&#146;s Board of Directors, effective February&nbsp;14, 2014. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Allman, who currently serves as a Masco group president, joined Masco in 1998 as vice president of manufacturing for cabinet maker Merillat

record of results reflecting his strong leadership and operational skills. Keith has not only played an integral role in developing our strategies to strengthen our brands and improve our execution, he has also led large, complex businesses in
executing against these strategies for growth and value creation. I have worked closely with Keith and our leadership team over the past several years and we have established the foundation on which Masco can build a successful future.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Verne Istock, chairman of the Board of Directors, stated, &#147;The board is delighted to elect Keith Allman as Masco&#146;s president and CEO. With his
knowledge of Masco and its people, his operational expertise, his customer relationships and his skill in leading large organizations, we are confident that this will be a seamless transition. We strongly believe that Keith, leading the outstanding
management team that we have across the enterprise, will continue to drive value creation for our shareholders.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Istock continued, &#147;On
behalf of the board and Masco&#146;s employees, we thank Tim for his tireless commitment and numerous contributions to Masco&#146;s success during his 37-year career. During his tenure with the company, Tim has proven himself to be a strong and
stable leader </P>

Masco to take advantage of the recent improvement in housing dynamics as evidenced by our 2012 and 2013 performance. We also appreciate Tim&#146;s willingness to continue to lead Masco past age 65, as our board worked on his succession. It has been
a great relationship and we wish Tim an enjoyable and rewarding retirement.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Masco Corporation will hold a conference call with Timothy Wadhams and
