Koppers Inc. announced that it has terminated its previously announced tender offer to purchase all of its issued and outstanding 7.875% Senior Notes due 2019 and related solicitation of consents to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Senior Notes. The tender offer is being terminated because Koppers Inc.'s previously announced private offering of new senior notes has been postponed due to perceived unfavorable market conditions. As a result of the termination, none of the Senior Notes that have been tendered in the tender offer will be accepted for purchase and no consideration will be paid or become payable to holders of Senior Notes who have tendered their Senior Notes in the tender offer.

All Senior Notes previously tendered and not withdrawn will be promptly returned or credited back to their respective holders, and all consents previously delivered and not revoked will be of no force and effect.
