WESCO International, Inc. announces completion of the sale of
LADD Industries, LLC

PITTSBURGH, June 8, 2010/PRNewswire/ — WESCO International, Inc. (NYSE: WCC), a leading provider of electrical and industrial MRO products, construction materials, and advanced integrated supply procurement outsourcing services, today announces the completion on June 7, 2010 of the sale of its 40% interest in LADD Industries, LLC to Deutsch Engineered Connecting Devices, Inc. as previously announced on May 6, 2010.

WESCO received consideration of $40 million plus repayment of a $15 million promissory note and accrued interest. The proceeds are expected to be used to reduce variable rate debt. The Company estimates a quarterly earnings per share reduction of approximately $0.03 per share on a full quarter run rate basis due to the expected loss of equity and note income, offset by the anticipated reduction in interest expense from the use of sale proceeds. The above assumes an effective tax rate of 29.5% and 43.7 million fully diluted shares.
