         The  reporting  person filed an Amended  Schedule 13G dated January 11,
1999. The reporting  person's ownership of Valmont common stock existed prior to
Valmont's  initial public offering.  The number of shares owned by the reporting
person  increased  during 1999 on account of the  acquisition  of shares under a
Valmont Stock Plan. The percentage  ownership of the reporting  person increased
during 1999 on account of stock  repurchases  by Valmont.  The reporting  person
hereby  amends  Item 4  "Ownership"  to report  that as of the end of  Valmont's
fiscal year ended December 25, 1999, the reporting person owned 7,107,568 shares
of Valmont  common stock,  which  represented  approximately  30.4% of Valmont's
outstanding  common  stock.  These  shares  were owned by the  reporting  person

outstanding 23,354,497 shares of common stock.

belief, the securities referred to above were acquired in the ordinary course of
business  and were not acquired for the purpose of and do not have the effect of

not acquired in connection  with or as a participant in any  transaction  having
such purposes or effect.

certify that the information  set forth in this statement is true,  complete and
