Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 23, 2009, Dayton Superior Corporation (the “Company”) filed a proposed plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) and disclosure statement with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware in Wilmington. Under the Plan, which the Company believes has the support of an overwhelming majority of the secured and unsecured creditors, approximately $161 million of the Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 will be converted to equity. Qualified prepetition note holders would have the right to purchase additional shares of stock of the reorganized Dayton Superior through a $100.0 million rights offering. Pursuant to the backstop rights purchase agreement with the Company (which is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions), two of the largest prepetition note holders, Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. and Solus Alternative Asset Management LP, have agreed to provide a $100 million backstop for any unsubscribed portion of the rights offering, and the Company is obligated to pay Oaktree and Solus, in addition to the reimbursement of expenses, a commitment fee or alternative transaction fee upon the occurrence of certain events. Oaktree and Solus would own a substantial majority of the stock of the reorganized Dayton Superior upon its emergence from chapter 11 as a privately owned company. The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the backstop rights purchase agreement and the Plan, each of which has been filed in connection with the Company’s ongoing chapter 11 bankruptcy case.
