<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">PLEASANTON,
California &ndash; JANUARY 31, 2017 &ndash; Simpson Manufacturing Co. Inc. (NYSE: SSD) today announced that it will convene a
special meeting of shareholders expected to be held on or around March 28, 2017. The special meeting will provide shareholders
with the opportunity to vote on proposals to amend the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of Simpson Manufacturing.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">Specifically,
shareholders will be asked to (1) declassify the company&rsquo;s board of directors over a three-year period and provide that
directors be elected for one-year terms beginning at Simpson Manufacturing&rsquo;s 2017 annual meeting of shareholders, and (2)
eliminate cumulative voting in the election of directors.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">Simpson
always welcomes the viewpoints of all of its shareholders. Consistent with this commitment, the board is submitting these proposals
after extensive engagement, including multiple conversations with shareholders representing more than 50 percent of shares outstanding.
These constructive discussions provided the board with feedback on the company&rsquo;s corporate governance practices and executive
compensation program. Shareholders provided valuable input on several points, including Simpson&rsquo;s classified board, shareholder
rights plan, cumulative voting, compensation program and compensation risk policies.&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif; font-size: 10pt">In
response to this feedback, the board took &ndash; and continues to take &ndash; a number of actions to enhance its corporate governance
practices and executive compensation practices, including the termination of its shareholder rights plan. In addition, the board
will submit to a vote to all shareholders those matters requiring shareholder approval &ndash; specifically the declassification
of the board and the elimination of cumulative voting.&nbsp;The board believes these actions demonstrate Simpson&rsquo;s steadfast
commitment to shareholder democracy and ensure that the board&rsquo;s decisions reflect the consensus of a majority of its shareholders.
Notably, while Simpson&rsquo;s shareholders have indicated broad support for the declassification of the board, the impact of
such a declassification heightens concurrent shareholder concerns regarding the impact of cumulative voting &ndash; post-declassification
like this would result in shareholders holding only 11 percent of its shares being able to unilaterally seat a director candidate.</FONT></P>

meeting details will be included in the company&rsquo;s forthcoming proxy statement, which will be mailed to all shareholders
eligible to vote at the special meeting.&nbsp;Shareholders are not required to take any action at this time.</FONT></P>
