• Earnings Release and Investor Conference Call Rescheduled

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill., March 3, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MYR Group Inc. ("MYR Group") (Nasdaq:MYRG), a leading specialty contractor serving the electrical infrastructure market, previously announced that in September 2013, a verdict was entered against named defendants, including The L. E. Myers Co. ("L. E. Myers"), a subsidiary of the Company, in favor of the estate of Allen Young, in connection with a traffic accident involving Mr. Young. The verdict included compensatory and punitive damages. As a result of this verdict, L. E. Myers recorded a legal reserve of $2.3 million during the third quarter of 2013. L. E. Myers appealed this judgment and on February 27, 2015, received notice that the District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District, reversed the judgment issued by the trial court, determined that punitive damages were not available, and remanded the case for a new trial. As a result of this ruling, L. E. Myers has reversed the $2.3 million reserve it recorded in the third quarter of 2013 and will reflect the net impact of the reversal in the Company's consolidated results for the year-ended December 31, 2014.
