      Discovers Defective Rotary Crop Shear Component at its Hot-Rolling and
      Processing Facility</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 28, 2015--Allegheny Technologies
      Incorporated (NYSE: ATI) said today that, during routine maintenance, it
      discovered a defective component in the rotary crop shear (RCS) at its
      Hot-Rolling and Processing Facility (HRPF). As a result, the RCS is
      expected to be offline until at least the end of September 2015. The RCS
      is used in the production process to cut the head and tail of the slab
      before it enters the HRPF&#8217;s seven-stand finishing mill. The HRPF will
      continue to operate without the RCS. This outage will not impact any
      dimensional capability of ATI&#8217;s flat-rolled products.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;We expect to continue to produce the vast majority of our flat-rolled
      products on the HRPF while the RCS is off-line and we don&#8217;t expect this
      issue to have an impact on our customers,&#8221; said Rich Harshman, Chairman,
      President and Chief Executive Officer. &#8220;For Grain-Oriented Electrical
      Steel, we will use alternative, less efficient production processes,
      including the legacy hot strip mill which was warm-idled earlier this
      year.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;Prior to detecting the defective RCS component, the HRPF&#8217;s performance
      was outstanding and the realization of expected cost reductions and new
      product sales were on schedule. We expect to build upon this momentum
      when the RCS component is replaced and the RCS returns online.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;As a result of the temporary loss of the RCS, we expect the fourth
      quarter 2015 operating profit benefit related to the HRPF to fall short
      of earlier projections by as much as $20 million, pre-tax. This is
      primarily due to our inability to realize the full benefit of expected
      HRPF cost reductions, plus the additional costs and limitations
      associated with the alternative production processes. We remain
      confident that the expected HRPF annualized operating profit benefit to
      ATI Flat Rolled Products of $150 to $250 million from cost reductions
      and new product sales will be fully realized. However, the expected
      benefit of this projected improvement has likely moved from the fourth
      quarter of 2015 to the first half of 2016 due to the temporary loss of
      use of the RCS.&#8221;
