Filing for Chapter 11 is an appeal to the court to "Keep our creditors
off our back while we straighten out this mess". It should mean that
they can keep going when they otherwise would not be able to.

Correct Allan,

Rohn has sold off some of its tower lines along with tooling so parts
should not be
a problem, similar to automotive markets, plenty of companies make bolts
and rivits,
along with other parts.

ROHN INDUSTRIES, INC. FILES FOR CHAPTER 11 PROTECTION;
$9.5 MILLION DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION FINANCING SECURED;
BOARD MEMBERS RESIGN

PEORIA, IL, September 16, 2003 — ROHN Industries, Inc., (OTCBB: ROHN),
(the "Company") a provider of infrastructure equipment to the
telecommunications industry, announced today that the Company and five
of its direct and indirect subsidiaries have filed voluntary petitions
for Chapter 11 relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Indiana (the "Bankruptcy Court").

The Company also announced that, concurrent with the Chapter 11
filing, it has entered into a $9.5 million debtor-in-possession
("DIP") line of credit with the lenders that are party to the
Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, subject to the
approval of the Bankruptcy Court, which will include funds that will
be rolled forward from the Company's current credit facility. Subject
to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Company remains in
possession of its assets and properties, and continues to operate its
business. The Company said that the objective of the Chapter 11
proceeding is to maximize recovery to creditors by facilitating an
orderly sale of assets. The Company is currently in discussions with
an unrelated third party regarding a proposed sale of the assets of
the Company.

Upon the filing of the bankruptcy petition of the Company, but
following the approval by the Board of Directors of the Chapter 11
filing, Stephen Gorman and Jordan Roderick each have resigned from the
Board of Directors of the Company. Currently, Horace Ward, the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, is the only remaining director of
the Company.

Commenting on today's announcement, Mr. Ward said, "Our immediate goal
is to stabilize the Company's financial situation and utilize the
Chapter 11 process to enable the Company to conduct normal business
operations as the Company works to complete a sale transaction."

The Company has retained the Indianapolis law firm of Ice Miller to
act as its legal counsel in the bankruptcy proceedings. The Company
has also retained Silverman Consulting, a national turnaround
consulting firm.
