On July 19, 2007, the Board of Directors of PPG Industries, Inc. (“PPG”) elected Martin H.
Richenhagen as a director to serve in a class whose term expires at the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders in 2010, effective as of September 1, 2007. Mr. Richenhagen also has been appointed
to the Audit Committee and the Technology and Environment Committee of the Board of Directors. In
connection with his service as a director of PPG, Mr. Richenhagen will be entitled to receive
compensation consistent with that of PPG’s other independent directors who are not employees of
PPG, as described in PPG’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 6, 2007 under the caption “Director Compensation,” which portion of such proxy
statement is incorporated herein by reference.
Mr. Richenhagen was not selected as a director of PPG pursuant to any arrangement or
understanding between Mr. Richenhagen and any other person or entity. Since the beginning of PPG’s
last fiscal year, there was no transaction or series of similar transactions, nor is there any
currently proposed transaction or series of similar transactions, to which PPG or any of its
subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which Mr. Richenhagen has a direct or indirect material
interest and which is required to be disclosed pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission
Regulation S-X 404(a), except for his director compensation arrangements.
