This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of any Senior Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. A registration statement relating to the Senior Notes has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ATI’s obligation to accept any 8.375% Notes due 2011 tendered in its tender offer and to pay the applicable consideration for them are set forth solely in the related Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.
