Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On April 15, 2014, Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (the “Company”) determined that it would close its iron castings business, which was held for sale as part of discontinued operations. The planned divestiture of this business through a sale process, which was announced in October 2013, was not able to be completed on commercially acceptable terms. The orderly wind-down of operations is expected to be completed by the end of June 2014. The closure of the iron castings business will result in approximately $3 million of cash exit costs in 2014, including approximately $2 million of charges that will be recognized in the Company’s second quarter ending June 30, 2014, primarily related to severance benefits, as part of the results of discontinued operations.
