Georgia Gulf Announces Extension of Expiration Date for Private Debt Exchange Offers

ATLANTA, GEORGIA — July 16, 2009- Georgia Gulf Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE: GGC) today announced it has extended the expiration date for its private offers to exchange its outstanding 7.125 percent Senior Notes due 2013 (the “2013 notes”), 9.5 percent Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 notes”) and 10.75 percent Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the “2016 notes” and, collectively with the 2013 notes and 2014 notes, the “notes”) and related consent solicitations (the “exchange offers”) until 12:00 midnight, New York City time July 22, 2009.

The exchange offers provide for the exchange of the three issues of outstanding notes totaling $800 million in aggregate principal amount for an aggregate of 32,050,000 shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, which are convertible into shares of its common stock on a one-for-one basis, and an aggregate of 1,430,000 shares of its common stock after giving effect to the previously announced 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock.

Each exchange offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on July 22, 2009, unless extended. As of 5:00 PM ET July 16, 2009 approximately $ 653.1 million, or 81.6 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the notes had been tendered in the exchange offers, comprised of $ 60.4 million, $434.6 million and $158.1 million of the $100 million, $500 million and $200 million in principal amount outstanding of the 2013, 2014 and 2016 notes, respectively. Full details of the exchange offers and related consent solicitations are included in the offering memorandum for these exchange offers, copies of which are available to Eligible Holders (as defined below) from Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the information agent, by calling (212) 430-3774 or toll free at (866) 873-7700.

The exchange offers have been made, and the shares of convertible preferred stock and shares of common stock are being offered and will be issued, in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, only to holders of the notes (i) in the United States, that are “qualified institutional buyers,” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or (ii) outside the United States, that are persons other than “U.S. persons,” as that term is defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act, in offshore transactions in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Eligible Holders”).

Neither the shares of convertible preferred stock nor the shares of common stock have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Georgia Gulf Announces Developments Regarding Debt Forbearances

ATLANTA, GEORGIA — July 16, 2009- Georgia Gulf Corporation (the “Company”) (NYSE: GGC) today announced that it has entered into extensions to the forbearance agreements with certain holders of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”), 10.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (the “2016 notes”) and 7.125% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “2013 notes,” and together with the 2014 notes and 2016 notes, the “Notes”), and that it is continuing to seek extensions of the forbearance agreements with the lenders under its senior secured credit agreement, which expired July 15, 2009.

The forbearance agreements provide for the Company to continue to withhold the $34.5 million of interest payments due April 15, 2009 on the 2014 notes and the 2016 notes and the $3.6 million interest payment due June 15, 2009 on the 2013 notes.

The Company has entered into extended forbearance agreements with the holders of the 2014 notes comprising the requisite percentage thereof to ensure that such indebtedness may not be accelerated under the indentures for such notes by the holders thereof prior to the earlier of and the first day on which (i) the indebtedness under any issue of the Notes is accelerated; (ii) any other remedies with respect to any issue of Notes are exercised; (iii) the requisite lenders under the senior secured credit agreement accelerate indebtedness thereunder or terminate the revolving commitments thereunder, in each case due to the interest payments being withheld by the Company or (iv) July 30, 2009. These forbearance agreements were entered into with over 84 percent of the holders of the Company’s 2014 notes. Also, the Company has obtained similar forbearance agreements from the holders of 71 percent of the 2013 notes and 26 percent of the 2016 notes due to the missed interest payments for these notes. Holders of 25 percent of these note issues may cause the indebtedness under such notes to be accelerated. The Company is seeking forbearance agreements from additional holders of the 2013 notes and 2016 notes.

The defaults in the payment of interest on the 2013 notes and 2016 notes permit the requisite holders of those notes to accelerate the indebtedness thereunder. The defaults in the payment of interest due under the Notes constitute a cross default under the Company’s senior secured credit agreement, permitting the lenders thereunder to accelerate such indebtedness. Such defaults also comprise a cross default under the Company’s asset securitization agreement, permitting the lenders to terminate that agreement. In that event, the Company would be prevented from selling additional receivables under the asset securitization agreement. If the Company was to lose access to funding under both the senior secured credit agreement and the asset securitization agreement, the Company would be required to immediately explore alternatives which could include a potential reorganization or restructuring under the bankruptcy laws.
