* Note: In 2011 and subsequently in 2013, Associated Materials, LLC (the “Company”) registered the 9.125% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 and the related guarantees (the “Securities”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a Form S-4 declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Indenture pursuant to which the outstanding Securities were issued was satisfied and discharged on November 22, 2016, and as a result, the Company no longer has a contractual obligation to file Exchange Act reports. All of the outstanding Securities were redeemed on December 22, 2016, and as a result, there will be no outstanding Securities. Pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the duty of the Company to file reports under Section 15 of the Exchange Act as a result of the registration of the Securities pursuant to Form S-4 in 2013 was suspended commencing with the fiscal year beginning December 29, 2013, because the Securities were held of record by less than 300 persons as of that date. The Company has nevertheless continued to file Exchange Act reports with the Commission on a voluntary basis. The Company is filing this Form 15 to provide notice of its intention to cease voluntarily filing reports with the Commission under Section 15 of the Exchange Act. (As confirmed by guidance published by the Commission staff, the automatic suspension is granted by statute and is not contingent upon the filing of this Form 15, whether within 30 days after the beginning of the fiscal year as set forth in Rule 15d-6 or otherwise.)

Approximate number of holders of record as of the certification or notice date: 0
