Wheeling-Pittsburgh Corp.’s Chief Executive Officer and President have entered into 10b5-1 plans in order to sell a portion of their Restricted Stock, as have each of the company’s Vice Presidents.

Restrictions on the shares lapse on Aug. 12, 2005. The eight officers will sell a total of 47,990 shares in August in order to pay tax obligations due as a result of the lapsing of restrictions on their Restricted Stock.

In addition, as part of such plans, two officers expect to sell an additional combined 13,564 shares over the four weeks following the lapse of restrictions, at market price, subject to certain price thresholds. These two plans were entered in order to diversify the portfolios of these officers in an orderly manner.
