To All BlueLinx Employees:

This morning we announced the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a $60 million rights offering that is backstopped by one of our shareholders, Cerberus ABP Investor LLC (“Cerberus”).

The rights offering provides our existing stockholders the opportunity to purchase a pro rata portion of additional shares of BlueLinx Holdings Inc. common stock. Under the rights offering, each stockholder as of the record date will receive, at no charge, one subscription right for each share of common stock owned on the record date, and each right will entitle the holder to purchase its pro rata allocation of shares of BlueLinx common stock. The rights are transferable and we will apply to have them listed on the NYSE under the symbol BXC RT.

The rights offering is structured as a backstopped rights offering which means that, through an Investment Agreement with Cerberus, they will purchase, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, all remaining unsubscribed shares of common stock (shares not purchased by other existing stockholders in rights offering after stockholders, including the backstop party, have purchased their pro rata portion) at the subscription price. This ensures that the gross proceeds from the rights offering will not be less than approximately $60 million.

The proceeds from this offering will provide BlueLinx with more financial and operating flexibility to strategically expand our business as the recovery of the building products industry unfolds. We believe the actions we are taking to strengthen our liquidity position and better position Bluelinx to aggressively participate in the housing market recovery will be well received by the investment community and our customers, suppliers, and employees.

As the rights offering process proceeds over the next couple of months, I ask you to stay focused on our strategic objectives.

The management team and our Board of Directors continue to believe in the long-term strength of the housing market and of BlueLinx. The action we have taken today to bolster our liquidity position will help ensure our company is well positioned in this challenging environment and ready to capitalize on opportunities when business resumes a more normal pace.

We have filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents we have filed with the SEC for more complete information about us and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov.
