To Our Clients:

Enclosed for your consideration is a prospectus dated                     , 2014 (the “prospectus”) and the accompanying letter of transmittal (which together with the prospectus constitute the “exchange offer”) relating to the offer by General Cable Corporation (“General Cable”) to exchange up to $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its new 5.750% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “new notes”) and related guarantees, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for any and all of its outstanding 5.750% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “old notes”) and related guarantees. As set forth in the prospectus, the terms of the new notes are substantially identical to the old notes, except that the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions relating to the old notes do not apply to the new notes. Tenders of old notes will be accepted only in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

This material is being forwarded to you as the beneficial owner of the old notes carried by us in your account, but not registered in your name. A tender of such old notes can be made only by us as the registered holder for your account and pursuant to your instructions. The enclosed letter of transmittal is furnished to you for your information only and cannot be used by you to exchange old notes held by us and registered in our name for your account or benefit.

Accordingly, we request instructions as to whether you wish us to exchange any or all old notes held by us for your account or benefit pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the prospectus and the letter of transmittal. We urge you to read carefully the prospectus and the letter of transmittal before instructing us to exchange your old notes.

You should forward instructions to us as promptly as possible in order to permit us to exchange old notes on your behalf before the exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                    , 2014, unless extended. A tender of old notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration time, which is 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                    , 2014, or the latest time to which the exchange offer is extended.

Your attention is directed to the following:

 

  1. The exchange offer is described in and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the prospectus and the letter of transmittal.

 

  2. The exchange offer is for any and all outstanding old notes. An aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000 of old notes was outstanding as of                    , 2014.

See “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” in the prospectus.

Old notes may be withdrawn, subject to the procedures described in the prospectus, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

if the holder is a broker-dealer, such broker-dealer will receive the new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, and:

 

   

such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities; and

 

   

such broker-dealer will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with the resale of such new notes, however, by so acknowledging and delivering a prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act

Any person who is an affiliate of General Cable, or is participating in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing the new notes, must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a resale transaction of the new notes acquired by such person and such person cannot rely on the position of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission enunciated in its series of interpretative no-action letters with respect to exchange offers.

The enclosed “Instructions with Respect to the Exchange Offer” form contains an authorization by you, as the beneficial owner of old notes, for us to make, among other things, the foregoing representations on your behalf.

We urge you to read the enclosed prospectus and letter of transmittal in conjunction with the exchange offer carefully before instructing us to tender your old notes. If you wish to tender any or all of the old notes held by us for your account, please so instruct us by completing, executing, detaching and returning to us the instruction form attached hereto.

None of the old notes held by us for your account will be tendered unless we receive written instructions from you to do so. Unless a specific contrary instruction is given, your signature on the attached “Instructions with Respect to the Exchange Offer” constitutes an instruction to us to tender ALL of the old notes held by us for your account.

General Cable is not making the exchange offer to, nor will it accept tenders from or on behalf of, holders of old notes residing in any jurisdiction in which the making of the exchange offer or the acceptance of tenders would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction.
