reimbursement for the cost of such solicitation from Meadow Valley if Mr. Ziegelman is elected as a

including expenditures for attorneys, proxy solicitation agents, and advertising, public relations,
printing, transportation and related expenses. As of the date hereof, the Participants have not
incurred any solicitation expenses. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, proxies may be

any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction to be ineffective with respect to the nomination of
Mr. Ziegelman at the Annual Meeting, or if he shall be unable to serve for any reason, this Notice
shall continue to be effective with respect to any replacement nominee or nominees selected by CD
Capital and CDIP.
Please be advised that neither the delivery of this Notice nor the delivery of additional
information, if any, provided by or on behalf of CD Capital or CDIP or any of their affiliates to
Meadow Valley from and after the date hereof shall be deemed to constitute an admission by CD
Capital or CDIP or any of their affiliates that this Notice or any such information is required or
is in any way defective or as to the legality or enforceability of any matter or a waiver by CD

EXHIBIT B
CD Capital
Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed in
December 2001 (
CD
Capital
). CD Capitals Founder, President and Chief Investment Officer is John Ziegelman. John
has over 20 years of financial management, investment banking and principal investing experience as
summarized below. Johns business address is c/o CD Capital Management LLC, 111 South Wacker
Drive, Suite 3950, Chicago, Illinois 60606.
CD Capital is an SEC registered Investment Advisor that manages capital on behalf of a fund family,
principally engaged in two small-cap investment strategies: Pro-Active Value Investing and Private
Placements. In both cases, CD Capital seeks to invest in undervalued public companies, preferring
to work collaboratively with the Issuers management teams and Boards to unlock long-term
shareholder value.
By working with existing Boards of Directors and corporate management teams, we seek to effect
positive change through a hands-on effort focusing on undervalued companies with several
identifiable governance, strategy and communication issues. We believe that our expertise in the
financial markets and in critical strategic planning is a major benefit for resource strapped
small-cap public Issuers. Where we do not have direct expertise, we bring to bear our substantial
strategic contacts to assist companies in strategic and operational matters. Our goal is to unlock
value for all shareholders by removing overhang associated with past failed strategies, creating
credibility in the marketplace, and adding substantial strategic value. To date, CD Capital has
been involved in two 13D activist campaigns, Sunterra Corporation (Acquired) and Meadow Valley
Corporation (NASDAQ-MVCO). With respect to Sunterra Corp., from July 2006 until the sale in April
2007, John was a member of the Board of Directors (and Chairman of the Board from October 2006) of
Sunterra and was instrumental in effecting the companys successful sale to a strategic buyer.
With respect to our Private Placement activities, CD Capital makes direct equity and equity-like
investments in small and micro-cap public companies. Our goal in making Private Placements in such
companies is to provide both growth capital and strategic advisory services to the Issuers to help
enable them to execute their strategic objectives and to create shareholder value.
Prior to founding CD Capitals predecessor John was a co-founder, Managing Member and Chief
Investment Officer of Castle Creek Partners LLC. During his tenure at Castle Creek, John
originated, structured and closed in excess of 80 private placement transactions (PIPEs), managed,
and restructured as needed, the PIPE portfolio for a series of private investment funds. From
December 1996 until he sold his membership interests in Castle Creek to his partner in April 2000,
John built Castle Creeks private placement business, managed the day-to-day operations of Castle
Creek, co-founded two external investment managers and expanded the investment strategy to include
opportunistic trading and investment strategies. Prior to co-founding Castle Creek, and during
1996, John was employed by Citadel Investment Group in Chicago. While at Citadel, John was
the portfolio manager and trader for the special situations desk where he managed a portfolio of
private placements including originating, structuring, negotiating and in multiple situations
restructuring equity, equity linked and convertible investment instruments.
Between 1986 and 1996, John held several financial positions, including at the internationally
recognized (affiliates of) investment banks: Shearson Lehman Brothers and Kidder, Peabody & Co.
During this period, John participated in closing more than 100 financing and M&A transactions for
both corporate and real estate clients and was part of the advisory team to dozens of public and
private companies regarding growth capital and financial strategy.
John earned his A.B. in philosophy and classical archaeology from the University of Michigan in
1986; and a M.B.A. from the University of Chicago in 1993. John currently serves on several
charitable boards including: The Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center, Childrens
Memorial Hospital Foundation and until its May 2007 merger with the Christopher Reeves Foundation,
the Daniel Heumann Foundation for Spinal Cord Research. In addition, John is a Member of the Windy
City Chapter of the Young Presidents Organization.

EXHIBIT A
Stockholder Proposal and Supporting Statement.
RESOLVED, that the Amended and Restated Bylaws of Meadow Valley Corporation be amended by inserting
the following new Article XXXV at the end:
ARTICLE XXXV
SPECIAL STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Bylaws, special meetings of the
stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose permitted by law may be called at any time
by written demand(s) of holders of at least 10% of the common stock issued and outstanding.
Such demands shall be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation and shall state the
purpose of such meeting. Such meeting shall be held within sixty days after the receipt of
such demands in the aggregate have been delivered to the Corporation and notice of such
meeting shall be provided in accordance with Article V hereof. This Article XXXV may not
be amended, altered or repealed in whole or in part, and no other amendment or alteration
to these Bylaws may be made that adversely affects the rights of stockholders under this
Article XXXV, in each case, unless holders of at least a majority of the common stock
issued and outstanding approve such amendment, alteration or repeal. The Board of
Directors shall not take any action that adversely affects, or is inconsistent with, the
rights of stockholders under this Article XXXV.
SUPPORTING STATEMENT:
In 2007, Meadow Valley stockholders were deprived of an important right without their consent when
the Board of Directors amended the Bylaws to remove our right to call stockholder meetings. As a
result, we have lost the ability to have our voice heard immediately when we think a matter is
sufficiently important to merit our collective consideration. Thus, our Board, which, as of
December 26, 2007, has less than an aggregate 0.4% stock ownership stake, is not quickly answerable to
stockholders through the stockholder meeting process. This is critical in change in control
situations where stockholders should be able to express their views through special meetings. We
believe the inability of stockholders to call a meeting, as well as other amendments to the Bylaws
adopted this year, result in entrenchment of the Board and management from the companys true
owners, the stockholders.
This proposal establishes a process by which holders of at least 10% of our stock may demand a
special meeting be held within sixty days. We believe a 10% threshold strikes a reasonable balance
between restoring stockholder rights and avoiding excessive distraction at our company.
Prominent institutional investors support a shareholder right to call special meetings.
Fidelity and Vanguard are among the mutual funds that have supported this right. The 2007 proxy
voting guidelines of many public employee pension funds, including the NYC Employees Retirement
System and the Connecticut Retirement Plans, favor preserving this right. Governance ratings
services, such as ISS and Glass Lewis, take special meeting rights into account when assigning
company ratings.
Vote YES on this proposal to re-establish the right of stockholders to call special meetings.
