TO ALL TXI EMPLOYEES:

Many of you have received proxy materials related to the upcoming shareholder’s meeting to be held on October 22 – both from TXI and from Shamrock Activist Value Fund. The TXI Board Members who are up for reelection – Gordon Forward, Keith Hughes and Hank Mauz – are part of a strong, independent board that has always made the interests of all shareholders their priority. Shamrock, who has been an investor in TXI for less than twelve months, is running a slate of three directors to replace Gordon, Keith and Hank.

Your vote in this year’s election is very important in helping to reelect TXI’s nominees.

I encourage you to VOTE FOR TXI MANAGEMENT’S NOMINEES – Gordon Forward, Keith Hughes, and Hank Mauz – using materials sent to you by TXI.

PLEASE DO NOT VOTE SHAMROCK’S PROXY CARD, even as a vote of protest against Shamrock. Voting Shamrock’s proxy – even as a protest against Shamrock – could nullify your vote for TXI’s directors.

If you have any questions at all about how to register your vote, please call our proxy solicitation firm, Morrow & Co., LLC (toll-free) at (800) 449-0910.

Thanks for your support,

Ken Allen
Chief Financial Officer
