(�Arlon�), an indirect subsidiary of WHX Corporation (�WHX�, NASDAQCM:WXCO) (collectively, the �Company�), is in receipt of the Complaint that Rogers Corporation filed against Arlon in the United States District Court in Hartford, CT.

Arlon believes that the lawsuit is without merit, and intends to vigorously defend itself against Rogers� allegations. �We believe that this lawsuit is unfounded,� stated Robert Carini, President of Arlon�s Electronic Materials operations. �It is regrettable that Rogers chose to file the lawsuit before contacting us.
