     On March 29, 2006, the Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) granted awards in the form of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as performance shares to certain of the Company’s named executive officers (as identified in the proxy statement relating to the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and as of December 31, 2006). All awards were granted pursuant to and are subject to the terms of the BlueLinx Holdings Inc. 2006 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

Each restricted stock award vests on March 29, 2012, five years after the grant date, subject to accelerated vesting under certain conditions. Pursuant to the accelerated vesting provision of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, a percentage of the stock award vests upon the attainment of a specified Average Company Share Price, as defined in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, with no more than 33.333% of the award shares vesting before March 29, 2008.

The performance measure vesting schedule is used to determine the actual amount of shares of Company common stock to be issued to the recipient, based on the Company meeting certain targets for return on net assets in 2009 and specialty product volume growth in excess of the Company’s end-use market growth for the performance period of 2007-2009. These targets were approved by the Compensation Committee in conjunction with the grant of performance share awards.
