HOUSTON, Sep 23, 2008 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- NX | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Quanex Building Products Corporation (NYSE:NX), an industry-leading manufacturer of value-added, engineered materials and components for the building products market, today announced the dismissal of the putative shareholder class action lawsuit, Momentum Partners v. Raymond A. Jean, et al., Cause No. 2008-01592 (125th Judicial District of Harris County, Texas).

The lawsuit was filed by a purported shareholder of Quanex Corporation and asserted claims relating to the spin-off of Quanex Building Products and the subsequent merger of Quanex Corporation into a subsidiary of Gerdau S.A. The suit named Quanex Corporation, Gerdau, and Quanex Corporation's directors (who currently serve as directors of Quanex Building Products) as defendants. On March 14, 2008, the district court denied plaintiff's motion to enjoin the transactions, which closed successfully on April 23, 2008. After failing to obtain injunctive relief, plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit in its entirety by filing a motion for nonsuit on September 9, 2008.

Quanex Corporation was represented in the litigation by its General Counsel, Kevin Delaney (now General Counsel of Quanex Building Products), and by Gerard G. Pecht at Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P. Gerdau was represented by David Elbaum at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett L.L.P.
