The following sections of the Offer to Amend filed as Exhibit 99.(a)(1)(A) of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and restated as follows:
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The “Forward Looking Statements” section of the Offer to Amend is hereby amended and restated as follows:
`This Offer to Amend, including the Section entitled “Risks of Participating in the Offer,” contains “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and Superior’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the Section entitled “Risks of Participating in the Offer” of the Offer to Amend, in the Section entitled “Risk Factors” in Superior’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended April 1, 2007 and July 1, 2007. Although we have sought to identify the most significant risks to our business, we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may

be realized. We also cannot assure you that we have identified all possible issues which we might face. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements that we make, except as required by applicable law. We confirm that we will comply with Rule 13e-4(d)(2) and Rule 13e-4(e)(3) of the Exchange Act with respect to the information presented to security holders.
SUMMARY TERM SHEET AND QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The table of contents of the “Summary Term Sheet and Question and Answers” section of the Offer to Amend is hereby amended by adding the following three additional items as new Questions 38, 39 and 40:
Q38. Will my cash payments be treated as a bonus or as regular payroll when paid in 2008?
Q39. Will part of my cash payment be contributed to my 401(k) account?
Q40. Can I transfer my options to a charity?
The Question and Answer portion of the “Summary Term Sheet and Question and Answers” section of the Offer to Amend is hereby amended by adding the following three additional items as new Questions 38, 39 and 40:
Q38. Will my cash payments be treated as a bonus or as regular payroll when paid in 2008?
A38. Your cash payments will be treated as a bonus and not as a payment of regular wages. As such, the cash payment will be subject to tax withholding as “supplemental income.” The federal and California supplemental tax withholding rate is 25% and 6%, respectively.
Q39. Will part of my cash payment be contributed to my 401(k) account?
A39. Yes. The cash payment will be contributed to your 401(k) account in accordance with your existing elections to the same extent that any other bonus would be contributed to your account.
Q40. Can I transfer my options to a charity?
Q40. No. The Plans do not permit a transfer to a charity.
