(d) Election of Director.

     On April 17, 2007, Commercial Metals Company (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the election of Robert L. Guido (“Guido”) to its Board of Directors (the “Board”). With this action, the Board will increase from ten to eleven directors. Guido will serve for a term to expire at the annual meeting of stockholders scheduled to be held in January 2008, at which time it is anticipated he will be included with the slate of nominees submitted for election by stockholders.

     Guido will serve as a member of the Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of the Board. The Board has affirmatively determined that Guido is “independent” as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and is eligible and qualified to serve on the Audit Committee of the Board. Guido is also a director and chairs the Audit Committee of Bally Technologies, Inc., a NYSE-listed company.

     There is no arrangement or understanding between Guido and any other person pursuant to which Guido was elected as a director of the Company. There are no relationships or transactions in which Guido has or will have an interest, or was or is a party, requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
