Because of the efforts of the Board, Mr.&nbsp;Marlen and the many dedicated Ameron employees, Ameron is a focused, streamlined company without equal in most of the markets it serves. Based on these efforts as well as prudent fiscal planning, timely
divestitures, strategic organic initiatives and an expanded global footprint, Ameron is poised for growth when its end markets improve. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">* The

discontinuation of tax gross-ups. The Board made these changes voluntarily, based on input from a variety of sources, including all of the Company&#146;s stockholders and after reviewing best governance practices, and not just in response to any one
particular agitator as Mr.&nbsp;Mitarotonda would like you to believe. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">* Based on Jim Marlen&#146;s planned retirement as CEO no later than
March 2012, the Board has also launched a thoughtful succession plan to select a highly qualified CEO to succeed Mr.&nbsp;Marlen and build on his record of success. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">* We welcome dialogue with our stockholders, and we have always been amenable to new voices and perspectives on the Board, as evidenced by the addition of Barry Williams to the Board in 2010. Indeed, we
have publicly indicated our openness and desire to add two new independent directors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>On the basis of all of this, we question
Barington&#146;s motives in launching a hostile proxy contest. In addition, after a thorough review of Mr.&nbsp;Mitarotonda&#146;s experience and qualifications and based on our prior experiences with him and our experiences with him during his
proxy campaign, the Nominating&nbsp;&amp; Corporate Governance Committee and the Board have determined that James Mitarotonda is an unsuitable director candidate for your Board.</B> </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In stark contrast to Ameron&#146;s performance, we believe Mr.&nbsp;Mitarotonda has been unable to effectively manage his own organization and investments. We understand that numerous managers and
analysts have left him due to his management style, and his fund&#146;s assets under management have fallen in recent years by more than 80%, from over $500 million to less than $100 million. Mr.&nbsp;Mitarotonda&#146;s explanation for the
redemptions is that this was due to redemptions by &#147;funds of funds.&#148; We believe the more probable explanation for those investor withdrawals is that his own investors have delivered an indictment of his record. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">*Integrity and character are two of the most critical qualities for corporate directors, and Mr.&nbsp;Mitarotonda&#146;s past conduct has raised concerns
for us in these areas. He has approached the Board in a confrontational manner and spuriously thrown around unfounded allegations. His ill-informed public portrayal of the Company and Management&#146;s performance and his reckless character
assassinations also raise concerns about his ability to collaborate with the Board in further developing Ameron&#146;s success. </FONT></P>
