<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Item&nbsp;1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May&nbsp;18, 2011, Olympic Steel, Inc. (&#147;Olympic&#148;), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;) with Chicago Tube and Iron Company, a Delaware corporation (&#147;CTI&#148;), and
the holders of a majority of CTI&#146;s outstanding common shares. The Merger Agreement provides that,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Olympic will
merge with and into CTI (the &#147;Transaction&#148;), and CTI will become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Olympic.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Transaction purchase price is $150&nbsp;million in cash, plus the assumption of approximately
$6&nbsp;million of indebtedness. The purchase price is subject to a working capital
adjustment, as well as a dollar-for-dollar cash adjustment to the
extent that CTI has more or less than $8.75 million in cash at the
closing. Olympic expects to  use the CTI cash on hand to pay up to an
aggregate of $12.75 million to certain CTI officers and employees in
connection with a goodwill payment and retention bonuses (which
bonuses are payable in four installments).
 Upon completion of the Transaction, Dr.&nbsp;Donald McNeeley
will enter into a five-year employment agreement with Olympic and is expected to become a member of
Olympic&#146;s Board of Directors.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Merger Agreement provides for customary representations, warranties and covenants,
including, among others, that each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the
Transaction. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Olympic entered into
non-compete agreements with key stockholders of CTI (&#147;Non-Competition Agreements&#148;). The
Non-Competition Agreements provide for customary non-solicit, non-compete and confidentiality
covenants in favor of Olympic.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of a number of customary
conditions, including the expiration of waiting periods and the receipt of approvals under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act. The parties expect the Transaction to close on July
1, 2011, at which time Olympic anticipates that it will conduct a conference call and simulcast.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement contained in this Item&nbsp;1.01 does not purport
to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement. A copy of
the Merger Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit&nbsp;2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

time for its review and comment prior to filing (taking into account the due date of the Tax
Return). The Company shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments by the Buyer prior to
the timely filing of such Tax Returns, provided that such comments have been delivered promptly

withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Representative shall give a draft of such Tax Return to
Buyer with sufficient time for its review and comment at least 30&nbsp;days prior to filing or such

and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection to the Representative, as
promptly as possible, but in no event later than 10&nbsp;days after receiving such draft of such Tax
Return or such shorter period as is required to facilitate the timely filing of such Tax Return.
Buyer&#146;s failure to notify the Representative of any such objection prior to the end of the
applicable review period shall indicate its concurrence with such draft of such Tax Return. The

any Tax period that begins on or before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a
&#147;<U>Straddle Period</U>&#148;) will be apportioned between the period of the Straddle Period that
extends before the Closing Date through the Closing Date (the &#147;<U>Pre-Closing Straddle
Period</U>&#148;) and the period of the Straddle Period that extends from the day after the Closing Date
to the end of the Straddle Period (the &#147;<U>Post-Closing Straddle Period</U>&#148;) in accordance with
this Section&nbsp;9.4(f). The portion of such Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period will
(a)&nbsp;in the case of any income (net or gross), gross receipts, profits, windfall profit, sales, use,
goods and services, ad valorem, value added, franchise (to the extent that such franchise tax is
measured by one of the other methods listed in this clause (a)), withholding, employment, social
security, workers compensation, unemployment compensation, payroll, transfer, excise (to the extent
that such excise tax is imposed on a transaction), import, occupancy, recording, minimum,
alternative
minimum, stamp, severance, custom, duty, environmental or estimated tax, and any other Tax
based on or measured by income, receipts or profits earned during a Straddle Period, be deemed
equal to the amount that would be payable if the Straddle Period ended on and included the Closing
Date; and (b)&nbsp;in the case of any other Taxes be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire
taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the
Pre-Closing Straddle Period and denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period.
The balance of the Tax for the Straddle Period shall be attributable to a Post-Closing Straddle
Period. To the extent that any Tax for a Straddle Period is based on the greater of a Tax on net
income, on the one hand, and a Tax measured by net worth or some other basis not otherwise measured
by income, on the other hand, the portion of such Tax related to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period
and the Post-Closing Straddle Period will be determined based on the foregoing and based on the
manner in which the actual Tax liability for the entire Straddle Period is determined. In the case
of a Tax that is (i)&nbsp;paid for the privilege of doing business during a period (a &#147;<U>Privilege
Period</U>&#148;) and (ii)&nbsp;computed based on business activity occurring during an accounting period
ending prior to such Privilege Period, any reference to a &#147;Tax period&#148;, a &#147;tax period&#148;, or a
&#147;taxable period&#148; means such accounting period and not such Privilege Period. The Stockholders will
be severally and not jointly liable for the payment of all Taxes of the Company that are
attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or any Pre-Closing Straddle Period whether or not shown
on any original Tax Return or amended Tax Returns for the period referred to therein.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;This Agreement cannot be amended, except by a writing signed by each party (provided that
the Representative may sign any such amendment on behalf of each Stockholder), or terminated orally
or by course of conduct. No provision hereof can be waived, except by a writing signed by the

particular instance in which such waiver shall have been given.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;Neither any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring
satisfaction of any condition herein nor any course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or
prevent any party from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any
condition. No notice to or demand on a party waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that
party or impairs any right of the party giving such notice or making such demand, including any
right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required by this Agreement. No
exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise
of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved party whole with respect to such

punitive or exemplary damages awarded in connection with a Third-Party Claim).
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.3 <U>Arms-Length Bargaining</U>. This Agreement has been negotiated at arms-length by
parties of equal bargaining strength, each represented by counsel or having had but declined the
opportunity to be represented by counsel and having participated in the drafting of this Agreement.
This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the parties, and no such

condition precedent to the effectiveness of any provision hereof or thereof. No party has relied
on any representation from, warranty or agreement of any person in entering into this Agreement,
