On February 27, 2014, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee of Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (the “Company”), the Board of Directors of the Company increased the size of the Board of Directors from nine to eleven directors and appointed James J. Abel and Michael I. German to fill the newly created directorships, effective immediately. Mr. Abel was appointed to the class of directors with terms expiring in 2014, and Mr. German was appointed to the class of directors with terms expiring in 2015. At the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Mr. Abel is expected to stand for election for a three-year term expiring in 2017, and Mr. German is expected to stand for election for a one-year term expiring in 2015, when the terms of the remaining members of his class will expire. It has not been determined which, if any, board committees on which Mr. Abel or Mr. German will serve. There are no arrangements or understandings between either Mr. Abel or Mr. German and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director. The Company is not aware of any transaction in which Mr. Abel or Mr. German has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
