Gulf Announces Bank Amendment</font></u></b></p>

<p align="center" style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-align:center;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="font-size:10.0pt;margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">ATLANTA,
GEORGIA &#151; May&nbsp;11, 2009 &#150; </font></b>Georgia Gulf Corporation
(NYSE:&#160; GGC &#151; News) today announced that
it has received from its senior secured lenders an amendment to its senior
secured credit agreement that allows the Company to continue to withhold interest payments due on its 2014 senior notes
and 2016 senior subordinated notes without constituting a default under such
credit agreement until the earlier of June&nbsp;15, 2009 or the first day
holders of such notes or its 2013 senior notes may accelerate the indebtedness
under such notes. Georgia Gulf previously announced that it had withheld
payment of $34.0 million of interest due April&nbsp;15, 2009 for the 2014
senior notes and 2016 senior subordinated notes. All three of the Company&#146;s
note issues are the subject of previously disclosed and currently pending
private exchange offers. Under the indentures governing the 2014 senior notes
and 2016 senior subordinated notes, Georgia Gulf has a 30-day grace period to
pay the withheld interest before the note holders can seek remedies. The
Company is currently in discussions with principal holders of each issue of its
notes seeking forbearance agreements to provide more time to negotiate the
exchange offers. If the Company does not obtain such forbearance agreements (and
there can be no assurance that such agreements will be obtained), and does not
pay the withheld interest, the indebtedness under the notes may be accelerated
by the holders on or after May&nbsp;15, 2009. The Company&#146;s current liquidity
remains essentially unchanged from the previously disclosed $100 million as of March&nbsp;31,
2009.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">An acceleration of indebtedness
under any issue of the notes would constitute cross defaults under the Company&#146;s
other note issues and its senior secured credit facility, permitting the
holders of such debt to accelerate same. In the event of any such acceleration,
the Company would be required to immediately explore alternatives which could
include a potential reorganization or restructuring under the bankruptcy laws.
Further, in light of the security interests the Company has granted to its
senior secured lenders in it assets, including its current assets, a default
under the Company&#146;s senior secured credit facility could materially adversely
affect the Company&#146;s liquidity.</font></p>
