grinding, drawing, and atomization, than products in our PAO segment (as described below). Also, sales in the AMO segment are spread across many end-use markets, including the aerospace, industrial, consumer, automotive, and medical industries. AMO

conversion processing of metal for other specialty metals companies. A significant portion of PAO sales are to customers in the aerospace and energy industries. Much of PAO sales are to forging companies that further shape, mill, and finish the
metals into more specific dimensions. All such sales are made under the Carpenter brand name. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:6%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our Emerging Ventures segment

our directors&#146; duty of care, however, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be

the director derived an improper personal benefit, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. These provisions also do not affect a director&#146;s responsibilities under any

and damages actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceedings to the fullest extent permitted by law, but not for expenses for which they are finally adjudged by a court to be liable to us unless a court has determined in view of
all the circumstances of the case that such director or executive officers is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. We will not be liable for indemnity for any costs covered by insurance, for any accounting for profits from the purchase
or sale of securities in violation of Section&nbsp;16(b) of the Securities exchange Act of 1934 or for proceedings brought by those directors or executive officers against us prior to a change of control unless such proceedings were previously
approved by our board of directors or we agree in our sole discretion to indemnify under applicable law. We have agreed to advance expenses to our directors and executive officers seeking indemnification under their indemnification agreement without
security or interest provided that those directors or executive officers undertake in writing to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that they are not entitled to indemnification. The burden is on us to prove that our directors or
executive officers are not entitled to indemnification. Any settlement must be mutually approved by us and our director or executive officer, as applicable, subject to certain requirements, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The
