<P STYLE="font: 10pt/107% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The move comes after Privet Fund Management
LLC, an Atlanta-based investment firm, announced last month that it was nominating its own slate of five directors for Synalloy&rsquo;s
eight-member board.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Privet said it was joining with another investor,
UPG Enterprises, to nominate the directors. Illinois-based UPG is a holding company with eight metals and distribution businesses
focused on steel and steel-related industries. Together, Privet and UPG own almost 25% of Synalloy&rsquo;s stock.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/107% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&ldquo;Given that we&rsquo;re solely focused
on reconstructing the board and installing new leadership to strengthen Synalloy, we believe insinuations about imaginary takeover
threats are just a smokescreen to distract shareholders from the need for change,&rdquo; Ben Rosenzweig, a partner at Privet, said
in a statement. &ldquo;We also believe it&rsquo;s telling that Synalloy&rsquo;s announcement about Q1 &lsquo;growth&rsquo; lacks
any comment on profitability, which was already predicted to be lackluster in 2020 prior to COVID-19 developments and has remained
far too elusive under [CEO Craig C. Bram&rsquo;s] watch.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/107% Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Synalloy is one of several companies that
have recently announced shareholder rights plans &mdash; often called &ldquo;poison pill&rdquo; plans &mdash; to prevent a takeover
of the business because of market volatility.</P>

due to the coronavirus and the volume and volatility of its stock.</P>
