Departure of Directors or Certain Officers

On December 20, 2011, Dan M. Dutton, a member of the Board of Directors of Universal Forest Products, Inc. (the "Company"), notified the Company that he will retire from the Board as of the date of the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders (the "2012 Meeting"), the date on which his term of office expires.  Mr. Dutton's decision to retire from the Board is not related to any disagreement with the Company on any matter.

As of the same date, Mr. William Payne, whose term of office also expires as of the date of the 2012 Meeting, notified the Company that he will not stand for re-election to the Company's Board of Directors.  Mr. Payne's decision not to stand for re-election is not related to any disagreement with the Company on any matter; rather, his decision was based on existing personal commitments and additional business obligations.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors is currently evaluating whether to recommend that the size of the Board be reduced at the time of expiration of the current terms of office of Mr. Dutton and Mr. Payne.  If the size of the Board is not reduced, the Committee or the Board will engage in the process of searching for one or more nominees for the vacant Board seats, in accordance with the Company's Policy Governing Director Qualifications and Nominations.
