         The reporting person filed an Amended Schedule 13G dated January 17,
2002. The reporting person's ownership of Valmont common stock existed prior to
Valmont's initial public offering. The number of shares owned by the reporting
person increased during 2002 on account of the acquisition of shares under a
Valmont Stock Plan. The percentage ownership of the reporting person increased
during 2002 on account of stock repurchases by Valmont. The reporting person
hereby amends Item 4 "Ownership" to report that as of January 1, 2003, the
reporting person owned 7,113,568 shares of Valmont common stock, which
represented approximately 29.8% of Valmont's outstanding common stock. These
shares were owned by the reporting person through MCT Investments Limited
Partnership. The ownership of the reporting person does not include 24,000
shares of Valmont common stock which the reporting person has the right to
acquire through the exercise of outstanding stock options. At October 25, 2002,
Valmont had outstanding 23,875,083 shares of common stock.
