, is go back and find the three
largest transactions of significance before that. But I’ll tell you this, over the last 21 years for transactions of any significance in the space. When you look at the combined company at $6.5 billion in revenue, it speaks to the
benefits of densification of the network and creating a better customer experience, because that’s what I want to bring it around to.

Creating a better, consistent customer experience is really how you win in this industry. When you get past all the big terms and all the
business speak, there’s a customer on the other end that just wants a consistently high-level experience, from low touch to high touch, from pick, pack and ship to finished part. And they want a reliable, dependable, professional and enjoyable
experience with that supplier, with that partner. So those are the benefits of increased scale and scope availability selection within this proposed merger. Rick?

Rick Marabito: Thanks, Eddie. And really, the next two slides I’m just going to touch on briefly. And it’s really for those of you who may not be
as familiar with Olympic Steel. And I’ll tell you, most of the next two slides we’ve already covered in our conversation. So I’m not going to go in depth. Just wanted to make a couple of points here. So we talked about at Olympic
moving down the value - up the value stream, higher returns less cyclicality and all the things that we’re trying to do there.

So
I’ll point out a couple things here. 8% of our revenue mix is now from manufactured products. I’d say roughly 20% of our mix is from multi-process fabricating work again. You combine those two, we’re pushing 25% to 30% of our mix
is of the kind of the highest end of the margin returns that we see for service centers. Touch really quickly our specialty metals segment. Specialty metals for us is aluminum and stainless. That’s really been a growth engine for us. 10%
compound annual growth. Really excited about our aluminum opportunities and the growth there. We’ve seen enormous growth year over year. For now, two years in aluminum. So excited about that and excited about the opportunities when the two
companies combine on aluminum.

If you look at the bottom of the slide, that’s just how we report publicly. We report in three
segments. We break it out by product. The carbon is really the traditional Olympic Steel.
