      Technologies Announces Voluntary Contribution to U.S. Defined Benefit
      Pension Plan and Impact of Non-Recurring Costs Associated with Second
      Quarter 2009 Capital Market Transactions</b></font>
    </p>
    <p style="text-align: center">

    </p>
    <p>
      PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 9, 2009--Allegheny Technologies
      Incorporated (NYSE: ATI) announced that it made a voluntary $350 million
      cash contribution to the Company&#8217;s U.S. defined benefit pension plan in
      June 2009 to significantly improve the plan&#8217;s funded position. A portion
      of the net proceeds from ATI&#8217;s June 2009 $402.5 million issuance of
      4.25% five-year convertible notes were used to make this voluntary
      contribution. The $350 million voluntary contribution was made as a 2008
      plan year contribution for income tax reporting purposes. As a result of
      the voluntary contribution, 2009 pension expense is expected to be
      reduced by $27.5 million to $98.7 million. This reduction will be
      reflected ratably over the last seven months of 2009.
    </p>
    <p>
      Also in June 2009, ATI issued $350 million of new 9.375% senior notes
      due in June 2019 and completed a tender offer for the retirement of
      $183.3 million of the Company&#8217;s 8.375% notes due in December 2011, which
      leaves $116.7 million of the 2011 notes outstanding.
    </p>
    <p>
      As a result of the impact of the pension trust contribution on prior
      years&#8217; tax provisions and the costs associated with the retirement of
      $183.3 million of the 2011 notes, ATI expects to recognize non-recurring
      after-tax charges of $17.0 million, or $0.17 per share, in the second
      quarter 2009. Excluding these non-recurring charges, ATI expects second
      quarter 2009 earnings per share to be approximately $0.03.
    </p>
    <p>
      ATI will provide live internet listening access to its conference call
      with investors and analysts scheduled for July 22, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. ET.
      The conference call will be conducted after the Company&#8217;s planned
      release of second quarter 2009 results. The conference call will be
      broadcast at <u>www.alleghenytechnologies.com</u>. To access the
      broadcast, go to the home page and select &#8220;Conference Call&#8221;. Replay of
      the conference call will be available on the Allegheny Technologies
