Carver Foundation, a Delaware not-for-profit corporation (the “Foundation”), and Grip Acquisition Corporation, an Iowa corporation (“Grip Acquisition”), entered into a Joinder Agreement relating to that certain Voting Agreement dated December 5, 2006 (the “Voting Agreement”) between Mr. Carver and Grip Acquisition. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, Mr. Carver has agreed to vote for and to grant irrevocable proxies to Grip Acquisition’s designees for the purpose of voting all of Mr. Carver’s shares in favor of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 5, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”) among Bandag, Grip Acquisition and Bridgestone Americas Holding, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the merger of Grip Acquisition with and into Bandag, and against, among other things, any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition or inconsistent with, the Merger Agreement or the proposed merger. The Voting Agreement also contains restrictions on the transfer of Mr. Carver’s shares unless Grip Acquisition consents to the transfer.
