Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the
Stockholder Meeting to Be Held on May 9, 2011.

Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders

As part of our efforts to cut unnecessary expenses and conserve the environment, American Biltrite Inc. has elected to provide Internet access to the proxy statement and annual report rather than mailing paper copies of the proxy statement and annual report. This reduces postage and printing expenses and paper waste. The notice, proxy statement, annual report and proxy card are available at:

WWW.AMBILT.INFO

The annual stockholder meeting will be held at 2:30 p.m. on May 9, 2011, at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Four Times Square, New York, New York. The matters to be covered are noted below:

To elect the three nominees named in American Biltrite Inc.’s proxy statement, who will hold office until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2014 and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

To transact any other business that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The Board of Directors of American Biltrite Inc. recommends voting “FOR” the election of each of the nominees for director.

This communication presents only an overview of the more complete proxy materials that are available to you on the Internet. We encourage you to access and review all of the important information contained in the proxy materials before voting. This notice is not a proxy card or ballot. You cannot use this notice to vote.

Shortly, you will receive a hard copy of a proxy card that will reflect the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. You may vote by mail or in person. In order to vote by mail, simply cast your vote on the proxy card you will receive, sign and return it in the business reply envelope which will accompany the proxy card. You may also print a proxy card from the website at WWW.AMBILT.INFO. You should mail that executed proxy card to Registrar and Transfer at the specified address on the website. If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, the Company will give you a ballot at the meeting if you request one; however, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must obtain from your broker, bank or other nominee and bring to the meeting a “legal proxy” authorizing you to vote your “street name” shares held at the close of business on March 17, 2011. We ask that you cast your vote promptly after you receive a proxy card. Thank you for your continued support!

If you want to receive a paper or e-mail copy of these documents, you must request one. There is no charge to you for requesting a copy. Please make your request for a copy as instructed below on or before April 24, 2011 to facilitate timely delivery before the stockholder meeting. You may also elect to receive paper copies of proxy materials for future meetings by making your request as instructed below.
