Andrew Seeks New Buyer for Orland Park Property.

WESTCHESTER, Ill. -- Andrew Corporation, a global leader in communications systems and products, is seeking a new residential, commercial or industrial buyer for the remaining portion of its former Orland Park, IL, manufacturing and headquarters location after Kimball-Hill Homes failed to close on the purchase of the 73-acre property.

As previously disclosed, Andrew and Kimball-Hill signed a contract in August 2005 for the purchase of Andrew's 103-acre Orland Park property in two phases, the first of which involved 30 acres and closed in 2006 for net proceeds of approximately $9 million. The second phase, involving 73 acres that include the former cable manufacturing and corporate headquarters buildings, was contracted to sell for $16.5 million and did not close as required by May 31, 2007. As a result, Kimball-Hill has forfeited to Andrew $2.5 million in earnest money and refunded approximately $1.1 million of unused funds from a $1.7 million escrow account established by Andrew for any required environmental remediation.

"The buyer's decision to not proceed with closing on the second phase of our agreement delays the process, but doesn't change our focus on selling our remaining 73 acres of highly desirable property in Orland Park," said Marty Kittrell, chief financial officer, Andrew Corporation. "We have restarted the sales process with The Staubach Company and are beginning discussions with interested residential, commercial and industrial parties immediately."

The company previously reported in its May 3, 2007 earnings release that it expected a $0.06 per share gain in the fiscal third quarter from the second phase of the sale of the Orland Park property. As a result of Kimball-Hill's failure to close, the company now expects to record a gain of $0.02 per share in its fiscal third quarter related to the earnest money, instead of the previously expected $0.06 per share gain. The foregoing change in estimate has no impact on the company's previous non-GAAP fiscal 2007 earnings guidance. The company intends to update annual guidance when it reports fiscal third quarter results.

The Orland Park property status has no effect on Andrew's office and manufacturing relocations to Westchester and Joliet. The company's corporate headquarters relocated to west suburban Westchester in early 2006, while the move to a newly constructed North American cable manufacturing and office facility in Joliet was completed this spring.
