<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Timken Company recently received approximately $11.5&nbsp;million under the U.S. Continued
Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA)&nbsp;for 2007. Timken expects to use the entire amount for
general corporate purposes and to reduce debt.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CDSOA provides the authority for U.S. Customs to distribute antidumping duties to U.S.
producers harmed by unfair trade that have continued to invest in their technology, equipment and
people. A leading provider of friction management and power transmission solutions, Timken received
a distribution under CDSOA based on the company&#146;s consistent investments to remain competitive in
the face of continued dumping of bearings.
