SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in
this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This is not intended to be a
complete description of the matters covered in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus and is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the more
detailed information and financial statements (including the notes thereto) included or
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated, all references to "Commercial Metals Company," the "Company,"
"we," "us" and "our" refer to Commercial Metals Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company

General

We manufacture, recycle, market and distribute steel and metal products and related
materials and services through a network of locations located throughout the United States and
internationally. We consider our business to be organized into five segments: domestic mills,
our Polish mill CMC Zawiercie S.A. ("CMCZ") and related operations, domestic fabrication,
recycling and marketing and distribution.

We were incorporated in 1946 in the State of Delaware. Our predecessor company, a metals
recycling business, has existed since approximately 1915. We maintain our executive offices at
6565 MacArthur Boulevard in Irving, Texas, telephone number (214) 689-4300.

Recent Developments

On March 2, 2007, the Company purchased all of the minority shares of CMCZ owned by
the Polish Ministry of State Treasury for approximately $59.5 million, making the Company the
owner of approximately 99% of the outstanding shares of CMCZ.

On April 17, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all of the
operating assets of Nicholas J. Bouras, Inc., and its subsidiaries, United Steel Deck, Inc., The
New Columbia Joist Company, and ABA Trucking Corporation. United Steel Deck, Inc.
manufactures steel deck at facilities in South Plainfield, New Jersey; Peru, Illinois; and Rock
Hill, South Carolina. The New Columbia Joist Company manufactures steel joists in New
Columbia, Pennsylvania. ABA Trucking Corporation provides delivery services for United
Steel Deck, Inc. and The New Columbia Joist Company. The purchase price was approximately
$145.9 million, including inventory. The acquired assets have been combined with CMC Joist
and operate under the trade name CMC Joist & Deck as part of our domestic fabrication
segment.

This acquisition adds joist manufacturing capacity to meet the needs of our customers in the
Northeast and establishes CMC Joist as a manufacturer of steel deck. We believe the acquisition
is complementary to our current operations, providing both geographic and product growth
opportunities.

Commercial Metals Company.

year and will be payable in cash in arrears on January 15
and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2008.

Ranking
The Notes will rank equally in right of payment with all of
our unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time
to time outstanding.

Further Issuances
We may at our option and with the consent of the existing
holders of the Notes issue additional debt securities having
the same terms as the Notes offered hereby. Such debt
securities will be treated as part of the same series as the
Notes under the indenture governing the terms of the Notes.

Sinking Fund
None.

Optional Redemption
At our option, we may redeem some or all of the Notes at
any time at the redemption price described in "Description
of the Notes -- Optional Redemption."

Change of Control Offer
Upon the occurrence of a change of control triggering event,
we will be required to make an offer to repurchase all
outstanding Notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the

interest to, but not including, the purchase date. See
"Description of the Notes -- Change of Control Offer."

Use of Proceeds
The net proceeds from this offering, after deducting
underwriting discounts and expenses of the offering, are
estimated to be approximately $397,000,000. We intend to
use a substantial portion of the net proceeds from this

2007, (ii) to repay commercial paper and other short term
domestic bank borrowings, (iii) to fund construction of and
working capital for a micro mill in Arizona currently
anticipated to begin operations in May 2009, and (iv) for
general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions.
See "Use of Proceeds."

Trading
We do not intend to list the Notes on any national securities
exchange or have them quoted on any automated dealer
quotation system. The Notes will be new securities for
which there is currently no public market. See "Risk
Factors-Risks Related to the Notes-There is no public
market for the Notes, and a market for the Notes may not
develop."

Risk Factors
Investing in the Notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors"
and other information in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus for a discussion of factors you
should consider carefully before deciding to invest in the
Notes.
