Geremski, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer will retire in August, 2006. Mr. Geremski will continue to exercise full responsibility until a new Chief Financial Officer joins Carpenter, which is expected to occur before the June 30th fiscal year end. </P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-right:72pt; margin-bottom:0pt; width:540pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt"><BR></P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-right:72pt; margin-bottom:0pt; width:540pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt">Mr. Geremski assumed the Chief Financial Officer role in January 2001 and was instrumental in the restructuring process undertaken at Carpenter. &quot;Under Terry's guidance, Carpenter created a culture of financial discipline and rigor that is now central to the company's operations. In addition, Carpenter's business performance has helped build our credibility with the investment community,&quot; said Robert J. Torcolini, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. </P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-right:72pt; margin-bottom:0pt; width:540pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt"><BR></P>
<P style="margin-top:0pt; margin-right:72pt; margin-bottom:0pt; width:540pt; line-height:14pt; font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:12pt">&quot;My decision to retire is based entirely on my personal desire to spend more time with my family. While there is never an ideal time to depart from a job that has been both challenging and rewarding, Carpenter's balance sheet and overall financial position is extremely strong and I remain confident in the company's future,&quot; said Geremski. </P>

Upon selection of a new Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Geremski will help in the transition and serve as Senior Vice President Strategic Planning and Business Development reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer until commencement of his retirement in August, 2006. </P>
