             Dayton Superior Corporation Completes $165.0
        Million Senior Second Secured Notes Private Placement


    DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 10, 2003--Dayton Superior
Corporation today announced the completion of its offering of $165.0
million of senior second secured notes in a private placement. The net
proceeds of the offering were used to repay existing indebtedness
under its credit facility.
    Dayton Superior Corporation, with annual revenues of $378 million,
is the largest North American manufacturer and distributor of metal
accessories and forms used in concrete construction and metal
accessories used in masonry construction and has an expanding
construction chemicals business. The Company's products, which are
marketed under the Dayton Superior(R), Dayton/Richmond(R), Symons(R),
American Highway Technology(R) and Dur-O-Wal(R) names, among others,
are used primarily in two segments of the construction industry:
non-residential buildings and infrastructure construction projects.

    "Certain statements made herein concerning anticipated future
performance are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and
assumptions of management and are not guarantees of future
performance. Actual future performance, outcomes and results may
differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements
as a result of a number of important factors. Representative examples
of these factors include (without limitation) the cyclical nature of
nonresidential building and infrastructure construction activity,
which can be affected by factors outside Dayton Superior's control,
such as the general economy, governmental expenditures and changes in
banking and tax laws; Dayton Superior's ability to successfully
integrate acquisitions on a timely basis; the seasonality of the
construction industry; and the amount of debt Dayton Superior must
service. This list of factors is not intended to be exhaustive, and
additional information concerning relevant risk factors can be found
in Dayton Superior's Registration Statement on Form S-4, Annual Report
on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission."
