TREX COMPANY SETTLES CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

WINCHESTER, Va. – (BUSINESS WIRE) – July 31, 2009 – Trex Company, Inc. (NYSE: TWP), the nation’s leading manufacturer and distributor of wood alternative decking, railing, fencing and trim, announced today that it has entered into a Settlement Agreement that will resolve a class action suit filed in California by a group of plaintiffs’ class action law firms alleging certain product defects. The settlement was preliminarily approved by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on July 30, 2009. The Court has set a hearing for final approval on October 30, 2009.

In this suit, two customers of Trex decking product alleged that their decks suffered from surface flaking and that Trex failed to provide adequate remedies. In 2007, Trex fully and publicly disclosed that a manufacturing problem affected a small percentage of product manufactured in its Fernley, Nevada plant beginning in 2003. This issue was entirely isolated to parts of the West Coast, only affected a small percentage of Trex decking materials produced in the Nevada plant, and has since been remediated.

Under the settlement, Trex will continue to fully honor its warranty by replacing product, and also will provide partial reimbursement of labor expenses to affected consumers, the amount of which will be dependent on the size of the deck. The claim resolution process is described in the Settlement Agreement and class notice.

Ronald Kaplan, president and CEO of Trex Company, stated, “Our decision to settle the case is not an admission of any of the allegations made by the plaintiffs but rather a way to avoid expensive and time-consuming litigation. Trex has steadfastly stood behind our warranty with respect to all affected product. Although we were fully prepared to defend this action and we strongly believe we would have prevailed, we were offered the opportunity to settle on terms that we feel are a win-win for both Trex and our consumers.”

Mr. Kaplan added, “Trex always has prided itself on customer service. Although the product defect only affected a small percentage of our product, we regret when any Trex customer has a less than fully satisfactory experience with our product. We believe that under these circumstances, providing partial labor reimbursement and going above and beyond our warranty obligations is a fair and reasonable settlement of this lawsuit. This settlement will allow our company to quickly and efficiently remove this distraction and continue to focus on delivering our award-winning products and high-quality service to our customers.”

Jonathan D. Selbin, a partner at Leift, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, one of the co-lead counsel for the plaintiffs, stated, “We commend Trex for stepping up to the plate and resolving the surface flaking dispute.”
