With our strategically located Water Transmission manufacturing facilities, we believe we are well-positioned to meet North America&#8217;s growing needs for water and wastewater infrastructure. We serve a wide range of markets and our solutions-based products are a good fit for applications including water transmission, plant piping, tunnels and river crossings. We have established a prominent position based on a strong and widely-recognized reputation for quality, service and an extensive range of products engineered and manufactured to meet expectations in all categories of performance including highly corrosive environments.</FONT></P>

The Water Transmission Group produces large diameter, high pressure, engineered welded steel pipe products for use in water transmission applications. Our sales have historically been driven by the need for new water infrastructure, which is based primarily on overall population growth and population movement between regions, as well as by drought conditions, which are causing a dwindling water supply from developed water sources. More recently, we have seen a recent trend towards spending on water infrastructure replacement, repair and upgrade.</FONT></P>

This reflects our long-term objective to focus on our core Water Transmission business through organic growth initiatives as well as through merger and acquisition activity. The Atchison facility operated at reduced levels from April 2015 to January 2016, when we idled the facility to reduce operating expenses until market conditions improve or a sale is completed. </FONT></P>

In connection with the rights agreement, a dividend was declared of one preferred stock purchase right for each outstanding share of common stock. Each such right entitles the registered holder to purchase from us one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $83.00 per one one-hundredth share, subject to adjustment. Each share of common stock that we issue prior to the expiration of the rights agreement will have attached one right.

The rights will only become exercisable if a person or group has acquired 15% or more of our outstanding common stock in the aggregate, or announced an intention to acquire 15% or more of our outstanding common stock in the aggregate. If the rights become exercisable, each holder of a right, other than the acquiring party, will be entitled to purchase, at the right&#8217;s then-current exercise price, shares of our common stock having a market value of two times the exercise price. If another corporation acquires us after a party acquires 15% or more of our common stock, then each holder of a right will be entitled to receive the acquiring corporation&#8217;s common shares having a market value of two times the exercise price. The rights generally may be redeemed at a price of $0.01 per right until a party acquires 15% or more of our common stock, and after that time may be exchanged for one share of our common stock per right until a party acquires 50% or more of our common stock. The rights will expire on June 28, 2019, unless the rights are earlier redeemed or the rights agreement is amended. The rights do not have voting or dividend rights and, until they become exercisable, have no dilutive effect on our earnings. </FONT></P>

Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants&#8217; accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities. </FONT></P>

Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the registered global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit agreement. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit agreement. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, guaranteed trust preferred security or unit agreement, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.</FONT></P>

Any common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or other principal market for our common stock.

Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that such transactions may have on the price of the securities. For a description of these activities, see the information under the heading &#8220;Underwriting&#8221; or &#8220;Plan of Distribution&#8221; in the applicable prospectus supplement.</FONT></P>

Under the OBCA, corporations may not indemnify against liability in connection with a claim by or in the right of the corporation but may indemnify against the reasonable expenses associated with such claims. Corporations may not indemnify against breaches of the duty of loyalty. The OBCA provides for mandatory indemnification of directors against all reasonable expenses incurred in the successful defense of any claim made or threatened whether or not such claim was by or in the right of the corporation. Finally, a court may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances whether or not the director or officer met the good faith and reasonable belief standards of conduct set out in the statute. </FONT></P>
