“believe,” “forecast,” “look,” “build,” “focus,” “create,” “work,”

thereof. Words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions, or events identify forward-looking
statements.
Forward-looking statements by their nature address
matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such statements regarding the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of January 16, 2024, among PGTI, MIWD Holding Company LLC and RMR MergeCo, Inc. (the “Transaction”),
including the expected time period to
consummate the Transaction. All such forward-looking
statements are based upon current plans, estimates, expectations and ambitions that are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
many of which are beyond the control of PGTI, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking
statements. Key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the expected timing and
likelihood of completion of the Transaction, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory
approvals of the Transaction; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the
definitive agreement; the possibility that PGTI’s stockholders may not approve the Transaction; the risk that the parties may not
be able to satisfy the conditions to the Transaction in a timely manner or at all; risks related to disruption of management time from
ongoing business operations due to the Transaction; the risk that any announcements relating to the Transaction could have adverse effects
on the market price of PGTI’s common stock; the risk that the Transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the
parties’ business relationships and business generally, including the ability of PGTI to retain customers and retain and hire key
personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers, and on their operating results and businesses generally; the
risk of unforeseen or unknown liabilities; customer, shareholder, regulatory and other stakeholder approvals and support; the risk of
potential litigation relating to the Transaction that could be instituted against PGTI or its directors and/or officers; the risk associated
with third party contracts containing material consent, anti-assignment, transfer or other provisions that may be related to the Transaction
which are not waived or otherwise satisfactorily resolved; the risk of rating agency actions and PGTI’s ability to access short-
and long-term debt markets on a timely and affordable basis; the risk of various events that could disrupt operations, including severe
weather, such as droughts, floods, avalanches and earthquakes, cybersecurity attacks, security threats and governmental response to them,
and technological changes; the risks of labor disputes, changes in labor costs and labor difficulties; and the risks resulting from other
effects of industry, market, economic, legal or legislative, political or regulatory conditions outside of PGTI’s control. All such
factors are difficult to predict and are beyond our control, including those detailed in PGTI’s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that are available on PGTI’s website at https://pgtinnovations.com and on the
website of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) at http://www.sec.gov. PGTI’s forward-looking statements
are based on assumptions that PGTI’s believes to be reasonable but that may not prove to be accurate. Other unpredictable or factors
not discussed in this communication could also have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements. PGTI does not assume an obligation
to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the
date hereof.
