Item 11 (a)(5) of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing None. with
the following paragraph:
On February 24, 2010, a lawsuit related to the Offer and the Merger was filed in the Court of
Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, Everett Harper v. Marshall T. Reynolds, et al. The
action is brought by Everett Harper, who claims to be a stockholder of Portec, on his own behalf
and on behalf of all others similarly situated, and seeks certification as a class action on behalf
of all public Portec stockholders, except the defendants and their affiliates. The lawsuit names
Portec, each of Portecs directors, L.B. Foster and Purchaser as defendants. The lawsuit alleges,
among other things, that Portecs directors breached their
fiduciary duties and L.B.
Foster and Purchaser aided and abetted such alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. Based on these allegations, the lawsuit seeks, among other relief, injunctive relief
enjoining the defendants from consummating the Offer and the Merger. It also purports to seek
recovery of the costs of the action, including reasonable attorneys fees. A copy of the Complaint
is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(C) to the Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.
