(1)On June 19, 2017, A.M. Castle & Co. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On August 2, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Debtors' prepackaged joint plan of reorganization, dated as of July 25, 2017 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Bankruptcy Plan”), and on August 31, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), the Bankruptcy Plan became effective pursuant to its terms and the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy. All previously issued and outstanding equity interests in the Company (which include the Company’s prior common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Old Common Stock”)) were automatically cancelled and extinguished as of the Effective Date. This Form 15 is being filed for the purpose of terminating the registration of the Old Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Plan, on the Effective Date, the Company created a new class of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “New Common Stock”). The New Common Stock was registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act on a Form 8-A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the Effective Date.
