FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>ROANOKE, VA, August&nbsp;16, 2006 &#150; </B>Optical Cable Corporation (Nasdaq GM: OCCF), announced that it received yesterday afternoon an unsolicited and contingent proposal from Superior Essex, Inc. (Nasdaq GM:
SPSX) to purchase all of Optical Cable Corporation&#146;s outstanding shares of common stock for $6.00 per share. This proposal is the same as a private proposal from Superior Essex first received by Optical Cable on August&nbsp;1, 2006, which was
considered by the Board of Directors of Optical Cable Corporation and rejected. Optical Cable&#146;s Board of Directors carefully considered and unanimously determined that the private proposal was financially inadequate and that attempting to
negotiate with Superior Essex at this time is not in the best interests of Optical Cable&#146;s shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;Optical Cable is in various stages of
implementing a number of initiatives expected to improve substantially our strategic position and to provide upside opportunities for Optical Cable and our shareholders. Our Board of Directors believes&#151;as do I&#151;that Optical Cable&#146;s
upside opportunities should benefit our current shareholders, not Superior Essex or anyone else,&#148; stated Mr.&nbsp;Neil Wilkin, President&nbsp;&amp; CEO of Optical Cable Corporation. </FONT></P>

unsolicited proposal received from Superior Essex on August&nbsp;1&#151;which contained the same terms and conditions as set forth in their surprise public announcement yesterday afternoon. After careful consideration in consultation with legal and
