<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"><B>Explanatory Note</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">The following information updates and should be read together
with the information contained in our preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 11, 2018, which we refer to herein as
the prospectus supplement. In the prospectus supplement, we proposed to offer 2,500,000 primary shares of our common stock
and the selling stockholder named therein proposed to offer 5,583,375 shares of Griffon&rsquo;s common stock, in each
case subject to market conditions. We have determined not to sell primary shares based on the price at which shares are
expected to be sold in the offering, and are therefore withdrawing the shares of common stock to be offered by us from the
offering, including the shares necessary to cover the underwriters&rsquo; 30-day option to purchase additional shares from
us. As a result of our withdrawal of shares necessary to cover the underwriters&rsquo; 30-day option, the selling stockholder
has reduced the amount of shares offered under the prospectus supplement from 5,583,375 to 4,855,109 shares of common stock
and will grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 728,266 additional shares of common stock from the
selling stockholder (representing 15% of the aggregate amount of the reduced number of &nbsp;shares of common stock offered
by the selling stockholder pursuant to this offering). If the option is exercised in full, the selling stockholder will no
longer own any shares of Griffon. This issuer free writing prospectus updates the information contained in the prospectus
supplement to reflect the withdrawal of the shares to be offered by us, the reduction in the amount of shares offered by
the selling stockholder and the grant by the selling stockholder of the 30-day option to the underwriters to purchase
additional shares. This free writing prospectus discloses, among other things, the impact of the withdrawal of the primary
portion of the offering on the use of proceeds and capitalization tables. Unless otherwise specified, all references to page
numbers are to page numbers in the prospectus supplement and unless the context requires otherwise, the
words &ldquo;we,&rdquo; &ldquo;our,&rdquo; and &ldquo;us&rdquo; refer to Griffon Corporation.</P>
