(NYSE: VHI) today announced plans to vigorously defend Energy<font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-STYLE: italic">Solutions</font>'&#160; pending acquisition of Waste Control Specialists LLC (WCS) in response to a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit seeking to block the transaction. &#160;<font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif"><br>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; COLOR: #000000; TEXT-ALIGN: left">The DOJ contends that the combined company would be "the only option for customers in nearly 40 states." &#160;In fact, there are numerous disposal sites for LLRW waste operated by the competitors of the two companies. &#160;In addition, customers have the option to store on-site, as many have done, rather than ship to one of the many companies offering LLRW disposal. &#160;Furthermore, the innovation and price declines for LLRW waste disposal that DOJ cites in its own statements are in fact evidence of other competitors in the marketplace. &#160;</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif">This combination&#160;is in the best interest of the nuclear industry as it delivers on part of the "Nuclear Promise" strategic plan. &#160;Through merging the two companies, the new entity will realize significant cost synergies through a decrease in management, selling, and administration expenses.&#160; Those savings, in turn, can be passed on to utilities and consumers of nuclear electricity. &#160;In addition, this merger will save costs on nuclear decommissioning.<font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif"><br>
