(b) John D. Baker II and Orin R. Smith will not be standing for reelection to the board of
directors at the Vulcan Materials Company (the “Company”) Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 8,
2009.
Mr. Baker (60) notified the Company on March 19, 2009 that his decision not to stand for
reelection is based on his desire to avoid potential conflicts of interest with the Company. Mr.
Baker is the President and CEO of Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (“Patriot”), and he and
members of his family have substantial ownership in Patriot. Patriot has interests in real
property in Florida and other states. Certain of these properties are leased to the Company and
others are jointly owned and will be jointly developed by the Company and Patriot. Mr. Baker is
not standing for reelection to avoid potential conflicts of interest as these jointly owned
properties are developed. Mr. Baker will continue to serve the remainder of his term, which
expires at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Mr. Smith (73) has served as a director since 1983 and will retire from the board of directors
at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
