TABLE OF CONTENTS
This Amendment No. 19 (“Amendment No. 19”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement
on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2010,
as amended (the “Schedule TO”), by (i) Foster Thomas Company, a West Virginia corporation (the
“Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of L.B. Foster Company, a Pennsylvania corporation
(“Parent”), and (ii) Parent. The Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Purchaser to purchase all
of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Shares”), of Portec Rail
Products, Inc., a West Virginia corporation (“Portec”), at a purchase price of $11.80 per Share,
net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding or stock
transfer taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase
dated February 26, 2010 (which, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, collectively
constitute the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are
filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively. Capitalized terms
used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 19 have the meanings assigned to such terms in
the Schedule TO or the Offer to Purchase. This Amendment No. 19 is being filed on behalf of the
Purchaser and Parent. Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule TO, the information contained
in the Offer to Purchase, including all schedules and annexes thereto, is hereby expressly
incorporated by reference in answers to Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO and is supplemented
by the information specifically provided for herein.
Item 11. Additional Information.
Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO are amended and supplemented to include the following:
“The subsequent offering period under the Offer was scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m,, New York
City time, on Tuesday, December 21, 2010. The Depositary for the Offer has advised L.B. Foster and
Purchaser that, as of such time, an aggregate of approximately 991,424 million Shares were validly
tendered in the subsequent offering period and Purchaser has accepted for payment all validly
tendered shares. Purchaser now owns approximately 8,622,393 Shares, representing approximately
89.78% of the outstanding Shares.
On December 21, 2010, L.B. Foster and Purchaser extended the subsequent offering period for
all remaining untendered Shares. The extended subsequent offering period will expire at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on Wednesday, December 22, 2010, unless further extended. Any such extension
will be followed by a public announcement no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next
business day after the subsequent offering period was scheduled to expire.
The same $11.80 per Share price, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less
any required withholding taxes, offered in the initial offering period of the Offer will be paid
during the extended subsequent offering period. Purchaser will immediately accept for payment all
Shares validly tendered during this extended subsequent offering period, and payment will be made
promptly after acceptance in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Procedures for tendering
Shares during the subsequent offering period are the same as during the initial offering period
with two exceptions: (1) Shares cannot be delivered by the guaranteed delivery procedure, and (2)
pursuant to Rule 14d-7(a)(2) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
Shares tendered during the subsequent offering period may not be withdrawn.
The full text of the press release issued by L.B. Foster on December 21, 2010 announcing the
extension of the subsequent offering period for the Offer is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(BB) to the
Schedule TO and is incorporated by reference into the Schedule TO.”
