Ampco-Pittsburgh Announces Temporary Offer Allowing Series A Warrants to be Exercised at a Reduced Price

Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (NYSE: AP) (“Ampco-Pittsburgh” or the “Corporation”) today announced the filing of a Tender Offer and Prospectus Supplement (the “Offer”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to which the exercise price of each tendered Series A Warrant of the Corporation (each a “Series A Warrant”) is being temporarily reduced. Each Series A Warrant is exercisable for 0.4464 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, $1.00 par value per share (“Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $2.5668 per Series A Warrant (or $5.75 per whole share of Common Stock). During the Offer, the holders of Series A Warrants will be given the opportunity to exercise their Series A Warrants at a temporarily reduced cash exercise price of $1.7856 per Series A Warrant (or $4.00 per whole share of Common Stock).

To participate in the Offer and exercise Series A Warrants at the reduced exercise price, holders will be required to tender such Warrants prior to 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June 28, 2022, as the same may be extended by the Corporation in its sole discretion (the “Expiration Date”).

The purpose of the Offer to Exercise is to encourage the exercise of the Series A Warrants by temporarily reducing the exercise price, which will provide funds to the Corporation for anticipated working capital, capital expenditures, temporary reduction of indebtedness, and general corporate purposes. If all of the outstanding Series A Warrants are exercised for cash at this reduced exercise price, the Corporation would receive gross proceeds of approximately $19.7 million from such exercises.

All statements in this document other than statements of historical fact are statements that are, or could be, deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Act and words such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast” and other terms of similar meaning that indicate future events and trends are also generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made, are not guarantees of future performance or expectations, and involve risks and uncertainties. For the Corporation, these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to cyclical demand for products and economic downturns; excess global capacity in the steel industry; fluctuations of the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies; increases in commodity prices, reductions in electricity and natural gas supply or shortages of key production materials; limitations in availability of capital to fund our operations and strategic plan; inability to maintain adequate liquidity in order to meet our operating cash flow requirements, repay maturing debt and meet other financial obligations; inability to obtain necessary capital or financing on satisfactory terms in order to acquire capital expenditures that may be required to support our growth strategy; inoperability of certain equipment on which we rely; liability of our subsidiaries for claims alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos-containing components historically used in certain products of our subsidiaries; changes in the existing regulatory environment; inability to successfully restructure our operations; consequences of global pandemics (including COVID-19); work stoppage or another industrial action on the part of any of our unions; inability to satisfy the continued listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange or the NYSE American Exchange; potential attacks on information technology infrastructure and other cyber-based business disruptions; failure to maintain an effective system of internal controls; disruptions caused by hostilities, including any disruptions caused by the hostilities in Ukraine; and those discussed more fully elsewhere in this report and in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Corporation, particularly in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in Part I of the Corporation’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, and Part II of the latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Corporation cannot guarantee any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. In addition, there may be events in the future that the Corporation may not be able to predict accurately or control which may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, the Corporation assumes no obligation, and disclaims any obligation, to update forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, events or otherwise.
