</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dear Shareholders and Stockholders: </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As previously announced, on December&nbsp;2, 2019, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., which is referred to as Cliffs, AK Steel Holding Corporation, which
is referred to as AK Steel, and Pepper Merger Sub Inc., which is referred to as Merger Sub, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, which is referred to as the Merger Agreement, providing for Cliffs&#146; acquisition of AK Steel. Under the
terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into AK Steel, which is referred to as the Merger, and AK Steel will survive the Merger and become a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Cliffs. Cliffs shareholders as of the close of
business on January 31, 2020, the record date, are invited to attend a special meeting of Cliffs shareholders, to be held on March 10, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time, to consider and vote on a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the issuance of common shares, par value $0.125 per share, of Cliffs, which are referred to as Cliffs common shares, in connection with the Merger as well as a proposal regarding the
potential adjournment of the Cliffs special meeting. AK Steel stockholders as of the close of business on the record date are invited to attend a special meeting of AK Steel stockholders, to be held on March 10, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time, to
consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement as well as proposals regarding certain other matters related to the Merger and the AK Steel special meeting. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the Merger is completed, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of AK Steel, which is referred to as AK Steel common stock,
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than AK Steel restricted shares and any shares of AK Steel common stock owned by Cliffs, Merger Sub or AK Steel, unless held on behalf of third parties) will be
converted into the right to receive 0.400 Cliffs common shares, which is referred to as the merger consideration, and, if applicable, cash in lieu of any fractional shares. For more details on the merger consideration, see the section entitled
&#147;<I>The Merger&#151;Consideration to AK Steel Stockholders</I>&#148; beginning on page 71 of the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The market value of the merger consideration will fluctuate with the market price of Cliffs common shares and will not be known at the time
both Cliffs shareholders and AK Steel stockholders vote on the Merger. Based on the closing share price of Cliffs common shares on the New York Stock Exchange, which is referred to as the NYSE, on December&nbsp;2, 2019, the last full trading day
before the public announcement of the Merger Agreement, of $8.41 per share, the implied value of the merger consideration to AK Steel stockholders was approximately $3.36 per share of AK Steel common stock. On January 31, 2020, the last practicable
trading day before the date of the filing of the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus, the closing share price of Cliffs common shares on the NYSE was $7.02 per share, resulting in an implied value to AK Steel stockholders of $2.81 per
share of AK Steel common stock. We urge you to obtain current market quotations for Cliffs common shares and AK Steel common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Cliffs
common shares are traded on the NYSE under the symbol &#147;CLF,&#148; and AK Steel common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol &#147;AKS.&#148; Cliffs expects to issue approximately 133.1 million Cliffs common shares to AK Steel
stockholders in the Merger (including shares underlying AK Steel equity awards expected to be outstanding at the effective time of the Merger, which will be converted into awards with respect to Cliffs common shares). Based on the number of shares
of AK Steel common stock and Cliffs common shares outstanding as of January&nbsp;24, 2020, we estimate that, immediately following completion of the Merger, former holders of AK Steel common stock will own approximately 32% of the outstanding Cliffs
common shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Merger is intended to qualify as a &#147;reorganization&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Assuming the Merger qualifies as a reorganization, a stockholder of AK Steel generally will not recognize any gain or loss upon receipt of Cliffs common shares in the Merger, and will recognize gain or loss with
respect to any cash received in lieu of a fractional Cliffs common share, as discussed in the section entitled &#147;<I>Material U.S. Federal Income Tax</I> <I>Consequences of the Merger</I>&#148; beginning on page 167 of the accompanying joint
proxy statement/prospectus. </P>

Merger, which is referred to as the &#147;selected pro forma financial data.&#148; The information under &#147;Pro Forma Statements of Income Data&#148; in the table below gives effect to the Merger as if it had been consummated on January&nbsp;1,
2018, the beginning of the earliest period for which unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented. The information under &#147;Pro Forma Balance Sheet Data&#148; in the table below assumes the Merger had been
consummated on September&nbsp;30, 2019. This pro forma financial data was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with Cliffs considered the accounting acquirer of AK Steel. See the section entitled &#147;<I>The Merger&#151;Accounting
Treatment of the Merger</I>&#148; beginning on page 132. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The selected pro forma financial data reflects preliminary pro forma adjustments
that have been made solely for the purpose of providing the pro forma financial data presented in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Cliffs estimated the fair value of AK Steel&#146;s assets and liabilities based on discussions with AK
Steel&#146;s management, due diligence information, preliminary valuation analyses performed by a third-party specialist and reviewed by Cliffs, information presented in AK Steel&#146;s SEC filings and other publicly available information. Until the
Merger is completed, both companies are limited in their ability to share certain information. As a result of the foregoing, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as
additional analysis is performed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon completion of the Merger, a final determination of the fair value of AK Steel&#146;s assets and
liabilities will be performed. Any changes in the fair values of the net assets or total purchase consideration as compared with the information shown in the pro forma financial data may change the amount of the total purchase consideration
allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the combined company statements of income due to adjustments in depreciation and amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities and related deferred income tax effects. The
final purchase consideration allocation may be materially different than the preliminary purchase consideration allocation presented in the pro forma financial data. </P>

the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2019 and the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2018. Except for the historical financial data for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2018, the financial data provided in the table below is unaudited. This financial
data should be read together with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of Cliffs and AK Steel, as filed by each with the SEC in their respective Annual Reports on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> for
the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2018 and Quarterly Reports on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q</FONT> for the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2019, which are incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus,
and with the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, including the related notes, appearing in the sections entitled &#147;<I>Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements</I>&#148; and &#147;<I>Notes to Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements</I>&#148; beginning on pages 170 and 175, respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The pro forma financial data is
presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the Merger had been completed as of the beginning of the periods presented, nor is it necessarily
indicative of the future operating results or financial position of the combined company. The pro forma financial data, although helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not
reflect the benefits of expected cost savings (or associated costs or capital expenditures to achieve such savings), opportunities to earn additional revenue, the impact of restructuring, or other factors that may result as a consequence of the
Merger and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The historical net book value per share is computed by
dividing stockholders&#146; or shareholders&#146; equity, as applicable, by the number of shares of AK Steel common stock or Cliffs common shares, as applicable, outstanding at the end of the period. The pro forma earnings per share of the combined
company is computed by dividing the pro forma earnings by the pro forma weighted average number of shares outstanding. The pro forma net book value per share of the combined company is computed by dividing total pro forma shareholders&#146; equity
by the pro forma number of common shares outstanding at September&nbsp;30, 2019, the date upon which the pro forma balance sheet assumes the Merger had been completed. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

actually receive the merger consideration. The market value of Cliffs common shares may fluctuate during and after these periods as a result of a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in Cliffs&#146; business,
operations and prospects and regulatory considerations. Such factors are difficult to predict and in many cases may be beyond the control of Cliffs and AK Steel. Consequently, at the time AK Steel stockholders must decide whether to adopt the Merger
Agreement, they will not know the actual market value of the merger consideration they will receive for each of their shares of AK Steel common stock when the Merger is completed. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The actual value of the merger consideration received by AK Steel stockholders at the completion of the Merger will depend on the market value
of the Cliffs common shares at that time. This market value may differ, possibly materially, from the market value of Cliffs common shares at the time the Merger Agreement was entered into or at any other time. AK Steel stockholders should obtain
current stock quotations for Cliffs common shares, which are traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol, &#147;CLF,&#148; before voting their shares of AK Steel common stock. For additional information about the AK Steel merger consideration, see

Steel stockholders are expected to own approximately 32% of the outstanding Cliffs common shares after the Merger, without giving effect to any Cliffs common shares held by AK Steel stockholders prior to the completion of the Merger. Even if all
former AK Steel stockholders voted together on all matters presented to Cliffs shareholders from time to time, the former AK Steel stockholders would exercise significantly less influence over Cliffs after the completion of the Merger relative to

hold separate any of the assets or business of Cliffs or AK Steel. Further, Cliffs is not required to agree to certain other restrictions or actions if such actions in the aggregate would or would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse

uncertainties may impair Cliffs&#146; and AK Steel&#146;s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the Merger is completed and for a period of time thereafter, and could cause suppliers, customers and others that deal with Cliffs
and AK Steel to seek to change their existing business relationships with Cliffs and AK Steel, respectively. For example, Cliffs&#146; customers may not want to purchase their iron ore from a company that is also a competitor. Employee retention at
AK Steel may also be challenging during the pendency of the Merger, as employees may experience uncertainty about their roles with Cliffs following the Merger. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts Cliffs and AK Steel from entering into
certain corporate transactions and taking other specified actions without the consent of the other party, and generally requires AK Steel to continue its operations in the ordinary course, until completion of the Merger. These restrictions may
prevent Cliffs and AK Steel from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Merger. Please see the section entitled &#147;<I>The Merger Agreement&#151;Interim Operations of AK Steel and Cliffs Pending

after the &#147;ownership change.&#148; An &#147;ownership change&#148; under Section&nbsp;382 of the Code generally occurs if one or more shareholders or groups of shareholders who own at least 5% of the corporation&#146;s equity increase their
ownership in the aggregate by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a rolling period that begins on the later of three years prior to the testing date and the date of the last &#147;ownership change.&#148; If
an &#147;ownership change&#148; were to occur, Section&nbsp;382 of the Code would impose an annual limit on the amount of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-ownership</FONT> change net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes the
corporation could use to reduce its taxable income, potentially increasing and accelerating the corporation&#146;s liability for income taxes, and also potentially causing tax attributes to expire unused. The amount of the annual limitation is
determined based on a corporation&#146;s value immediately prior to the ownership change. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of December&nbsp;31, 2018, AK Steel had U.S.
federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2.2&nbsp;billion and approximately $89.2&nbsp;million in deferred tax assets for state net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards. The Merger likely will result in an
&#147;ownership change&#148; with respect to AK Steel. Accordingly, all or a portion of AK Steel&#146;s U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes likely would be subject to limitations (or disallowance) on their
use after the Merger. Similar rules with respect to the state net operating loss carryforwards may apply under state tax laws. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of
December&nbsp;31, 2018, Cliffs had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $2.1&nbsp;billion and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.5&nbsp;billion. Cliffs&#146; ability to utilize the $2.1&nbsp;billion
U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards may be limited if Cliffs experiences an &#147;ownership change&#148; under Section&nbsp;382 of the Code. Similar rules with respect to the $1.5&nbsp;billion state net operating loss carryforwards may
apply under state tax laws. The issuance of Cliffs common shares to AK Steel stockholders in the Merger or in connection with other issuances or sales of Cliffs common shares (including certain transactions involving Cliffs common shares that are
outside of Cliffs&#146; control) could cause an &#147;ownership change.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subsequent &#147;ownership changes&#148; may further affect

or the combined company&#146;s net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes, which, in addition to increasing the combined company&#146;s U.S. federal income tax liability, could adversely affect the combined company&#146;s share price,

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Over the past several years, AK Steel has pursued a strategic agenda focused on working to
transform its cost structure and operations with the goal of improving its competitive position and liquidity, decreasing its indebtedness and delivering value to its stockholders. As part of this strategic agenda, the AK Steel board and senior
management team have evaluated a range of possible alternatives, taking into account, among other things, AK Steel&#146;s existing operations, strategic priorities and capital requirements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In early May 2018, Roger K. Newport, Chief Executive Officer of AK Steel, raised the possibility of Cliffs and AK Steel engaging in a
strategic transaction with Lourenco Goncalves, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cliffs. Mr.&nbsp;Newport inquired whether Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves would consider a potential joint venture involving the companies, focused on finding a
potentially more productive use for one of AK Steel&#146;s underperforming assets. In addition, Mr.&nbsp;Newport suggested that the companies might consider a more transformative transaction, as such an arrangement would secure for AK Steel reliable
access to its most important raw material, while ensuring a long-term, dedicated customer for Cliffs. Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves indicated that, while he had not previously considered such a transaction, he could appreciate its strategic benefits and the
potential value to both companies and would reflect on the idea. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There were no further discussions between the companies regarding
potential joint venture opportunities, or any other material transaction, until <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mid-October</FONT> 2018 when, at the request of Mr.&nbsp;Newport, Maurice A. Reed, Vice President, Strategic Planning and Business
Development of AK Steel, contacted Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves to propose a meeting to discuss a potential joint venture opportunity involving AK Steel&#146;s Ashland Works blast furnace. However, by late 2018, members of AK Steel management had concluded
that, at that time, it was not economically feasible to implement the potential transaction in a manner that would generate meaningful value for AK Steel. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the same period, the AK Steel board continued to evaluate and engage in discussions with members of AK Steel management and AK
Steel&#146;s legal and financial advisors with respect to, potential strategic alternatives available to AK Steel. At the AK Steel board&#146;s October&nbsp;18, 2018 meeting, members of AK Steel management reviewed with the AK Steel board various
potential alternatives, including joint venture transactions involving several different U.S. and foreign steel producers and manufacturers that presented potential opportunities to (i)&nbsp;lower AK Steel&#146;s costs of production, including
through the sourcing of various raw materials, (ii)&nbsp;expand AK Steel&#146;s scale and footprint, (iii)&nbsp;explore new alternatives both within and outside its existing footprint, (iv)&nbsp;create synergies through combining or optimizing
production capabilities, (v)&nbsp;grow AK Steel&#146;s downstream operations, (vi)&nbsp;make significant capital and other investments, including building or installing new technology in its existing mills, and (vii)&nbsp;improve the utilization of
certain underperforming assets. During this meeting, members of AK Steel management also provided their views regarding the potential to pursue a more transformative transaction with certain of these identified joint venture counterparties, as well
as other potential counterparties that may have interest in a significant transaction involving AK Steel. AK Steel management&#146;s views were informed in part by certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-depth</FONT> and high-level discussions
that AK Steel management had engaged in during 2017 and 2018 (and would continue to engage in during 2019) with over a dozen companies in the steel industry regarding potential joint venture and other opportunities for AK Steel to generate
commercial and strategic value. In the course of certain of these discussions, AK Steel management, with the support of the AK Steel board, raised the possibility of undertaking a more transformative transaction, including a potential merger, sale
or similar business combination. However, in each instance where AK Steel identified a transformative transaction that had the potential for execution, the potential counterparty indicated that, given its strategic agenda, the potential counterparty
was not interested in pursuing such a transformative transaction, either at that time or at all. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the latter part of 2018
(following the AK Steel board&#146;s October&nbsp;18, 2018 meeting) and the first half of 2019, AK Steel asked Goldman Sachs&nbsp;&amp; Co. LLC, which is referred to as Goldman Sachs, and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, which is referred to as
Credit Suisse, as well as a global management consulting firm to separately review potential strategic alternatives available to AK Steel, including the identification of potential counterparties to a transformative transaction involving AK Steel.

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As part of AK Steel&#146;s continued evaluation of strategic alternatives, in November 2018 members of AK Steel management commenced
discussions with a North American steel producer, which is referred to as Company A, with respect to a potential &#147;merger of equals&#148; transaction involving AK Steel and Company A. Over the next eleven months, AK Steel and Company A
periodically engaged in a reciprocal due diligence review of their respective companies as well as preliminary negotiations regarding a potential transaction, including governance terms. AK Steel and Company A entered into a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-disclosure</FONT> agreement, effective March&nbsp;5, 2019, in connection with their consideration of the potential transaction, which included a customary mutual standstill provision that did not preclude private
proposals to be made to the board of directors of the other party. AK Steel engaged Credit Suisse as its financial advisor in connection with a potential transaction involving Company A pursuant to an engagement letter effective February&nbsp;1,
2019, while the AK Steel board worked with Goldman Sachs as its financial advisor. However, after further consideration, including unaddressed concerns regarding whether the potential transaction would improve AK Steel&#146;s cost position and
strengthen its credit profile, in September 2019, the AK Steel board, in consultation with management and AK Steel&#146;s financial advisors, Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs, determined not to proceed further with a potential transaction with
Company A. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The AK Steel board also considered a potential transaction involving a different North American steel producer, which is
referred to as Company B, with which AK Steel had previously discussed a potential combination and engaged in a reciprocal due diligence review in late 2016 and early 2017 before the AK Steel board determined in March 2017 that, at the time,
pursuing a potential transaction with Company B was not in the best interests of AK Steel and its stockholders. In early April 2019, at the direction of the AK Steel board, Mr.&nbsp;Newport contacted the chief executive officer of Company B, who
indicated he would be open to considering a potential transaction. However, after further consideration, in May 2019, the AK Steel board determined that it did not believe a transaction involving Company B would generate sufficient value for AK
Steel stockholders in light of the risks associated with combining the companies and, accordingly, did not pursue any further discussions. </P>

Ashland Works blast furnace. Over the next few weeks, Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves and Mr.&nbsp;Newport engaged in a few additional preliminary discussions regarding the potential sale of the Ashland Works blast furnace. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On September&nbsp;26, 2019, Mr.&nbsp;Newport and Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves spoke again to discuss next steps with respect to the potential sale of

the documentation for the transaction, as well as to obtain their requisite internal approvals. During this meeting, Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves and Mr.&nbsp;Newport again discussed the potential for (and agreed that it would be beneficial to both companies
to continue discussions regarding) a more transformative transaction involving their companies, but decided at that time to focus on the proposed Ashland Works blast furnace transaction. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During early October 2019, Cliffs informed its legal counsel, Jones Day, that Cliffs was
considering the potential acquisition of AK Steel in its entirety. Cliffs also informed Moelis of, and commenced working with Moelis in connection with, the potential transaction. Cliffs subsequently entered into an engagement letter with Moelis
dated November&nbsp;27, 2019. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On October&nbsp;14, 2019, representatives of Goldman Sachs (including certain members of the team that
would advise AK Steel in connection with the potential transaction) informally discussed with members of the Cliffs management team certain asset-based lending considerations, funding options and strategic growth opportunities for Cliffs. AK Steel
was identified in the materials used by Goldman Sachs in such meeting as one of thirteen companies that presented potential strategic growth opportunities for Cliffs. Goldman Sachs&#146; materials included only publicly available information (e.g.,
market capitalization, enterprise value, 2019E EBITDA/multiple and indebtedness information) and did not contain potential price ranges, synergy calculations, or other transaction-specific information. </P>

possibility of a potential acquisition of AK Steel. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On October&nbsp;17, 2019, Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves contacted Mr.&nbsp;Newport to discuss
the status and timeline of the potential sale of the Ashland Works blast furnace. During this discussion, Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves informed Mr.&nbsp;Newport that the Cliffs management team had continued to consider the possibility of a more transformative
transaction as previously discussed with Mr.&nbsp;Newport, and at the upcoming Cliffs board meeting on October&nbsp;21, 2019, the Cliffs board would discuss potentially making an offer for Cliffs to acquire AK Steel. Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves and
Mr.&nbsp;Newport then proceeded to further discuss the potential value creation opportunities for Cliffs shareholders and AK Steel stockholders in connection with such a transaction, as well as Cliffs&#146; expectations regarding the potential
timeline should such a transaction occur. Mr.&nbsp;Newport informed Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves that the AK Steel board had a regularly scheduled board meeting from October&nbsp;23 to October&nbsp;25, 2019, and that he would discuss with the AK Steel
directors any offer that Cliffs might make at that time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On October&nbsp;19, 2019, at the request of AK Steel&#146;s then Chief Financial
Officer, a representative of Credit Suisse provided the then Chief Financial Officer and Mr.&nbsp;Newport with materials, based solely on publicly available information, containing a high level overview of Cliffs and certain other illustrative data,
assuming a transaction between AK Steel and Cliffs. The overview identified Cliffs&#146; management team, its geographic footprint, facilities and other operational information, Cliffs&#146; current capitalization and market performance and certain
financial information. The materials also included illustrative exchange ratio and pro forma ownership data based on the companies&#146; respective trading prices over the prior two years and certain illustrative financial metrics that would result
from a combination of the two companies based on publicly available information and broker consensus estimates of the companies&#146; respective future performance. The materials also included information regarding the premia paid in <FONT

October 2019, Mr.&nbsp;Alter informed AK Steel&#146;s outside legal counsel, Weil, about the potential transaction with Cliffs. AK Steel also commenced working with Goldman Sachs in connection with the potential transaction. Prior to AK Steel
commencing work with Goldman Sachs in connection with the potential transaction involving Cliffs, Goldman Sachs informed AK Steel that representatives of Goldman Sachs (including members of its proposed team to advise AK Steel in connection with the
potential transaction) had assisted Cliffs on several financing transactions and from time to time provided Cliffs with advice with respect to strategic matters over the past several years. Subsequently, on November&nbsp;15, 2019, representatives of
Goldman Sachs provided a letter to the AK Steel board that disclosed certain relationships between Goldman Sachs and Cliffs with respect to past financing transactions and confirmed that nothing would limit Goldman Sachs&#146; ability to fulfill its

Cliffs board held its regularly scheduled meeting, which was attended by members of Cliffs management and representatives of Jones Day. The Cliffs board considered and discussed with members of Cliffs management a potential transaction with AK
Steel, including the potential synergies of combining Cliffs and AK Steel and the potential upsides and potential challenges of a transaction with AK Steel. The Cliffs board then reviewed with members of Cliffs management and representatives of
Jones Day a potential timeline for making an offer to acquire AK Steel and the transaction generally and considered the likely negotiation points to be resolved should the parties pursue a transaction. The members of the Cliffs board engaged in
further discussions before it unanimously approved moving forward with submitting to AK Steel a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-binding</FONT> proposal for the acquisition of AK Steel. </P>

common stock, which represented a premium of 10% to the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">thirty-day</FONT> volume weighted average trading price for AK Steel common stock as of October&nbsp;18, 2019, and would result in AK Steel stockholders, in
their capacity as such, owning approximately 30% of the combined company immediately following the completion of the proposed transaction. The October&nbsp;21 proposal indicated that Cliffs (i)&nbsp;believed two to three weeks would provide
sufficient time for Cliffs and AK Steel to complete their respective reciprocal due diligence reviews, (ii)&nbsp;envisioned being in a position to sign a definitive agreement and announce a transaction by the first week of December, and
(iii)&nbsp;required a response from AK Steel by 5:00 pm Eastern Time on October&nbsp;30, 2019. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The AK Steel board held its regularly

Steel board their preliminary perspectives on the proposed transaction, as well as certain publicly available information and analyst reports regarding Cliffs. The materials reviewed with the AK Steel board by AK Steel management during its
October&nbsp;23, 2019 meeting included certain high-level information concerning Cliffs that was based, in part, on information previously reviewed with AK Steel&#146;s then Chief Financial Officer and Mr.&nbsp;Newport on October&nbsp;19, 2019, as
described above. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In late October, Cliffs engaged Credit Suisse to, alongside Moelis, provide financial advisory services to Cliffs in

engaged by Cliffs in connection with the Merger, and Credit Suisse agreed not to disclose to Cliffs any confidential information that Credit Suisse had received in connection with its prior work with AK Steel. Prior to Cliffs commencing work with
Credit Suisse, Credit Suisse disclosed to Cliffs that Credit Suisse (including members of its proposed team to advise Cliffs in connection with the potential transaction) had assisted AK Steel on a number of confidential matters over the past
several years. Credit Suisse also informed Cliffs that in October 2019 (prior to Credit Suisse being engaged by Cliffs) members of AK Steel management had discussed a potential transaction between AK Steel and Cliffs with certain representatives of
Credit Suisse on an informal, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-engagement</FONT> basis, and that Credit Suisse had provided certain high-level materials to AK Steel management that were based on publicly available information. Cliffs

Steel&#146;s and the combined company&#146;s indebtedness. Representatives of Goldman Sachs also reviewed with the AK Steel board a comparison of Cliffs&#146; and AK Steel&#146;s relative trading and market performance. Following these discussions,
the AK Steel board agreed that a transaction with Cliffs could be beneficial to AK Steel stockholders, but that the proposed exchange ratio was too low for the board to conclude that such a combination would be in the best interests of AK Steel
stockholders. After receiving and considering advice from its advisors, the AK Steel board discussed its initial view that an appropriate pro forma ownership for the combined company would involve AK Steel stockholders owning in the <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mid-30&nbsp;percent</FONT> range of the outstanding stock of the combined company. The AK Steel board then authorized Mr.&nbsp;Newport to continue to explore a potential combination with Cliffs on a non-binding basis, with
the understanding that further discussions would need to be had with Cliffs to convey the AK Steel board&#146;s belief that the proposed valuation was too low. The AK Steel board requested that a meeting be arranged between Ralph S. Michael, III,
Chairman of the AK Steel board, and Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves to discuss various matters related to the proposed transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On
October&nbsp;30, 2019, Mr.&nbsp;Newport spoke with Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves and informed him that the AK Steel board supported exploring a potential combination of Cliffs and AK Steel. Mr.&nbsp;Newport also conveyed the AK Steel board&#146;s view
regarding the proposed exchange ratio and ownership composition of the combined company. During the call, Mr.&nbsp;Newport and Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves discussed certain considerations with respect to the potential premium to be paid by Cliffs in the
transaction, whether there was a possibility of AK Steel stockholders receiving some portion of the transaction consideration in cash and the AK Steel stockholders&#146; pro forma ownership of the combined Company. Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves and
Mr.&nbsp;Newport decided that Cliffs&#146; and AK Steel&#146;s respective financial advisors should continue discussions with respect to the proposed form and amount of consideration. Mr.&nbsp;Newport and Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves also discussed timing for
the commencement of their respective company&#146;s due diligence reviews and agreed to schedule a meeting between Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves and Mr.&nbsp;Michael, as the respective Chairmen of Cliffs and AK Steel. </P>

from individuals familiar with AK Steel&#146;s business, which, as had previously been discussed, was important from the perspective of the AK Steel board, and Cliffs&#146; offer to include three AK Steel board members on the combined company&#146;s

available to make a presentation to the AK Steel board at the AK Steel board&#146;s final meeting to consider the proposed transaction. Neither during this meeting nor during prior or subsequent discussions among the parties in connection with the

AK Steel and Cliffs also reviewed with each other their respective preliminary five-year financial projections, which had been previously made available. The parties, with the assistance of their respective financial advisors, also subsequently
engaged in a series of discussions regarding certain differences in the underlying assumptions used in preparing their respective financial projections. Upon consideration of the widely fluctuating nature of certain commodity prices that form key

pricing assumptions that were based on a combination of its own macro-assumptions, the assumptions used by Cliffs in the Cliffs unaudited forecasted financial information and information from three other recognized third party sources in order to

then provided the board with an update on the status of negotiations regarding the Merger Agreement as well as the results of the parties&#146; ongoing synergies analysis, due diligence review and certain financial sensitivity analyses. Members of
AK Steel management also presented to the AK Steel board forecasts for AK Steel on a standalone basis for the fiscal years ending December&nbsp;31, 2020 through December&nbsp;31, 2024 that had been prepared by AK Steel management as well as certain
assumptions that had been used by AK Steel management in preparing the projections. Representatives of Goldman Sachs then discussed with the AK Steel board its preliminary financial analyses. Representatives of Goldman Sachs also discussed with the
AK Steel board considerations with respect to various strategic alternatives potentially available to AK Steel, including continuing as a standalone company and undertaking certain portfolio restructuring activities, as well as Goldman Sachs&#146;
view regarding the absence, at the time, of potential strategic alternative counterparties to an extraordinary transaction involving AK Steel that would result in AK Steel stockholders receiving greater consideration than could be received in a
transaction with Cliffs. Weil then provided the AK Steel board with a written review of the board&#146;s fiduciary duties and an overview of the status of certain key terms under discussion in connection with the draft Merger Agreement, including
the board composition of the combined company, whether AK Steel would have the ability to terminate the Merger Agreement following its receipt of a superior proposal, and the efforts Cliffs would be required to use to obtain regulatory approvals for
the transaction. Members of AK Steel management then discussed with the AK Steel board their views regarding the potential opportunities to create value for AK Steel stockholders in connection with the potential transaction relative to the various
identified potential strategic alternatives available to AK Steel. After AK Steel management and its advisors left the meeting, the AK Steel board engaged in an extensive discussion regarding the potential strategic alternatives available to AK
Steel and their ability to generate value for AK Steel stockholders, which included the potential impact of these alternatives on AK Steel&#146;s competitive position and credit profile, the ability to generate synergies and improve the cost of AK
Steel&#146;s supply of iron ore and other raw materials, and whether the various alternatives were actionable and would provide a platform for future growth. Following this discussion, the AK Steel board determined that it was in the best interests
of AK Steel to continue to pursue a potential transaction with Cliffs, but that the exchange ratio proposed by Cliffs in its November&nbsp;25 proposal was not adequate. The AK Steel board also agreed that the form of consideration and potential need
for downside protection in the form of a floating exchange ratio or collar continued to be open points and that the absence of either of these would result in the need for a higher exchange ratio in order for the AK Steel board to be in favor of the
potential transaction. The AK Steel board directed Messrs. Newport and Michael to inform Cliffs that the proposed exchange ratio, form of consideration and downside protection would need to be improved, and told Messrs. Newport and Michael that they
should initially propose an exchange ratio of 0.400 in anticipation of the fact that, based on Cliffs&#146; prior statements, Cliffs may only be willing to agree to a potential transaction that involved a fixed exchange ratio and all-stock
consideration. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the evening of November&nbsp;26, Messrs. Newport and Michael held a teleconference
call with Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves to provide a response to the November&nbsp;25 proposal. Messrs. Newport and Michael informed Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves that the proposed exchange ratio was inadequate, but that the AK Steel board would be willing to consider a
potential transaction with an exchange ratio of 0.400, which would result in AK Steel stockholders having approximately a 32% pro forma ownership interest in the combined company. Messrs. Newport and Michael also expressed the AK Steel board&#146;s
ongoing interest in Cliffs including a cash component in the consideration or otherwise providing greater certainty in value to AK Steel stockholders through a collar on the exchange ratio, but Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves indicated that the concepts of a
cash component or exchange ratio collar were unacceptable to Cliffs. Messrs. Newport and Michael indicated that, in the absence of a cash component, collar or floating exchange ratio, the AK Steel board would need the discussed higher exchange ratio
in order to potentially support the proposed transaction and also provided the AK Steel board&#146;s feedback regarding certain open items in the draft Merger Agreement. Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves indicated he would discuss AK Steel&#146;s exchange ratio
proposal with the Cliffs board the following day. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November&nbsp;27, 2019, the Cliffs board held a telephonic meeting, with members of
Cliffs management and representatives of Jones Day in attendance. The Cliffs board discussed the exchange ratio and pro forma ownership in connection with the proposed transaction with AK Steel. Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves indicated that, after receiving the
November&nbsp;25 proposal, which included an exchange ratio of 0.370 equating to AK Steel stockholders having an approximate pro forma ownership percentage of approximately 30%, Messrs. Newport and Michael had countered with a proposed exchange
ratio of 0.400, which would equate to a pro forma ownership percentage of approximately 32%. The Cliffs board discussed the counterproposal, considering the identified synergies and accretive nature of the counteroffer. Members of the Cliffs
management team then reported on timing of the next steps of moving toward a transaction and described ongoing negotiations on the Merger Agreement with AK Steel as well as other milestones that would occur if each of Cliffs&#146; and AK
Steel&#146;s respective boards approved the transaction. A representative of Jones Day then discussed the voting requirements for each of Cliffs and AK Steel based on Ohio and Delaware law, as well as the rules of the NYSE and the companies&#146;
governing documents. After additional discussion, the Cliffs board agreed to continue the negotiation process based on the AK Steel counteroffer of a fixed exchange ratio of 0.400. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the afternoon of November&nbsp;27, 2019, Messrs. Goncalves, Newport and Michael held a teleconference during which Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves
indicated that the Cliffs board was supportive of AK Steel&#146;s proposed exchange ratio, but that it would proceed only on the basis of an <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">all-stock</FONT> transaction. Later on November&nbsp;27, 2019, on behalf of
the Cliffs board, Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves delivered a letter indicating that Cliffs board was willing to proceed with a fixed exchange ratio of 0.400 Cliffs common shares for each share of AK Steel common stock, subject to, among other things, the
finalization of the Merger Agreement terms in a manner satisfactory to Cliffs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On the morning of November&nbsp;29, 2019, a special
telephonic meeting of the AK Steel board was held to provide an update on the proposed transaction. During the meeting, Messrs. Michael and Newport provided an update on their discussions with Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves, and representatives of Goldman Sachs
also discussed their preliminary financial analyses. Representatives of Weil then reviewed with the AK Steel board the status of negotiations regarding the draft Merger Agreement and the resolution of certain key items that had previously been
discussed with the AK Steel board, including that Cliffs had agreed to the parties each having the right to terminate the Merger Agreement in connection with a superior proposal and that the AK Steel board could change its recommendation in favor of
the transaction in connection with certain intervening events affecting AK Steel or Cliffs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the period from November&nbsp;29, 2019
through the execution of the Merger Agreement on December&nbsp;2, 2019, representatives of Cliffs and AK Steel and their respective legal counsel, Jones Day and Weil, continued to work to finalize the definitive documentation for the transaction,
including the debt commitment letters to be entered into by Cliffs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On December&nbsp;2, 2019, a special meeting of the AK Steel board was

Weil and Goldman Sachs as well as members of AK Steel management were also in attendance. At the beginning of the meeting, members of AK Steel management provided the AK Steel board with an
update regarding the proposed transaction with Cliffs. Mr.&nbsp;Newport and Kirk Reich, President and Chief Operating Officer of AK Steel, also reviewed with the AK Steel board AK Steel&#146;s opportunities and risks if it were to continue on a
standalone basis as well as their views regarding the advantages of the proposed transaction. Representatives of Weil then provided the AK Steel board with an overview of the directors&#146; fiduciary duties under Delaware law. Following this
review, Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves, who along with Mr.&nbsp;Graham and a representative of Jones Day had been invited by the AK Steel board to attend the meeting, met with the AK Steel board and discussed, among other things, Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves&#146;
history with Cliffs, the improvements that had been made under his leadership in the preceding five years, the advantages and strategic rationale of combining Cliffs and AK Steel, the composition of the Cliffs board and his view of the synergy and
growth opportunities available in connection with the potential transaction due to the complementary nature of the respective businesses. Following the departure of Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves, Mr.&nbsp;Graham and the representative of Jones Day from the
meeting, representatives of Weil then reviewed with the AK Steel board a summary of the terms of the Merger Agreement and provided an update on the resolution of the negotiations regarding certain key terms, including Cliffs&#146; regulatory
undertaking, the scope of intervening events that would permit the AK Steel board to change its recommendation in favor of the transaction in certain circumstances, and the ability of AK Steel to terminate the Merger Agreement in connection with a
superior proposal. Representatives of Goldman Sachs then presented their financial analyses with respect to the proposed transaction. A representative of Goldman Sachs provided the AK Steel board with an oral opinion, which was subsequently
confirmed in a written opinion dated December&nbsp;2, 2019, that, as of the date of the written opinion and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, limitations, qualifications and factors set forth therein, the exchange ratio pursuant to
the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of shares of AK Steel common stock (other than Cliffs and its affiliates). Following discussion, the AK Steel board unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, declared the Merger Agreement to be advisable and in the best interests of AK Steel stockholders, and resolved to recommend that AK Steel stockholders vote to adopt the Merger Agreement.
During the meeting, the AK Steel board also voted to adopt an amendment to the AK Steel <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-laws</FONT> to provide that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for the adjudication
of certain disputes involving AK Steel. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">After market close on December&nbsp;2, 2019, a special telephonic meeting of the Cliffs board was
held for the purpose of considering the approval of the Merger Agreement. Representatives of Jones Day, Moelis and Credit Suisse as well as members of Cliffs management also participated. Mr.&nbsp;Goncalves reported that the AK Steel board had
unanimously approved the Merger Agreement at the AK Steel board&#146;s meeting earlier that day. Representatives of Jones Day then discussed, among other things, (i)&nbsp;the Cliffs board&#146;s fiduciary duties under Ohio law, (ii)&nbsp;the
principal terms of the Merger Agreement, (iii)&nbsp;the regulatory approvals that would be required in the U.S., Mexico and Canada, (iv)&nbsp;the change of control payments that would be due upon closing of the transaction and (v)&nbsp;the voting
requirements for the companies&#146; respective shareholders to approve the transaction. A representative of Moelis reviewed with the Cliffs board Moelis&#146; financial analysis with respect to the exchange ratio and delivered an oral opinion,
which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated December&nbsp;2, 2019, addressed to the Cliffs board to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed,
matters considered and other limitations set forth in such opinion, the exchange ratio pursuant to the Merger Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to Cliffs. Following discussion, the Cliffs board unanimously approved the Merger
Agreement, the Merger and the issuance of Cliffs shares in the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, and resolved to recommend that Cliffs shareholders vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the issuance of Cliffs shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Later that
evening, Cliffs and AK Steel finalized and entered into the Merger Agreement. On December&nbsp;3, 2019, prior to the opening of trading on the NYSE, Cliffs and AK Steel issued a joint press release announcing the transaction and their entry into the
Merger Agreement. </P>

differ from the draft that Moelis had reviewed in any respect material to its analysis, that the Merger would be consummated in accordance with its terms without any waiver or modification that could be material to its analysis, and that the parties

EBITDAP to calculate implied equity value ranges for Cliffs, in each case without taking into account any potential value from net operating loss carryforwards, which are referred to as NOLs. In determining the low of end of the selected reference
ranges, Moelis assumed that the bottom of the Cliffs ranges would be at a premium to the Cliffs direct selected companies because of Cliffs&#146; comparatively superior margin profile and its diversification to become a supplier to EAF steelmakers
following completion of the Toledo, Ohio HBI plant. Moelis noted that because there are no other publicly traded U.S. based, pure play iron ore mining companies, it assumed Cliffs&#146; current multiples to establish the top end of the selected
reference ranges. For purposes of its analysis, Moelis treated underfunded <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-effected</FONT> pensions and unfunded OPEB obligations as debt-like items and adjusted for Cliffs HBI facility. </P>

Therefore, Moelis reviewed a variety of steel value chain participants. In its analysis, Moelis focused on (i)&nbsp;ArcelorMittal, U.S. Steel and Stelco, each of which is an integrated carbon steel producer with North American operations,
(ii)&nbsp;Carpenter, a North American stainless steel producer and (iii)&nbsp;Acerinox, a global stainless steel producer with significant North American operations, which are collectively referred to as the AK Steel direct selected companies.
Although no AK Steel direct selected company is directly comparable to AK Steel, Moelis focused on them because, among other things, they have one or more similar operating and financial characteristics with AK Steel, including: (i)&nbsp;being
integrated carbon steel or stainless steel producers, (ii)&nbsp;having a North American production base, (iii)&nbsp;having a similar leverage profile (with a ratio of adjusted total debt to 2019E Adj. EBITDAP (as defined below) of approximately

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For AK Steel, Moelis utilized a range of discount rates of 8.50% to 11.00% based on an
estimated range of AK Steel&#146;s WACC. The WACC range reflected a derived cost of equity using (i)&nbsp;a risk-free rate based on <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">20-year</FONT> U.S. government bonds, (ii)&nbsp;a selected range of unlevered betas
and debt to total capitalization ratios informed by the AK Steel selected companies described above, (iii)&nbsp;an equity risk premium and (iv)&nbsp;a size premium. Moelis used the foregoing range of discount rates to calculate estimated present
values as of December&nbsp;31, 2019 of (i)&nbsp;estimated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">after-tax</FONT> unlevered free cash flows of AK Steel for the calendar years ending December&nbsp;31, 2020 through December&nbsp;31, 2024 (in each case,
discounted using a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mid-year</FONT> discounting convention) and (ii)&nbsp;estimated terminal values derived by applying a range of multiples of 6.0x to 7.5x to a terminal EBITDAP calculated as the average of AK
Steel&#146;s actual and estimated adjusted EBITDAP for the calendar years ending December&nbsp;31, 2018 through December&nbsp;31, 2024 (selected due to the view of Cliffs management that U.S. tariffs on steel imports will continue for the
foreseeable future due to global oversupply and national security concerns). Moelis&#146; selection of the foregoing terminal value multiple range was informed at the top end by AK Steel&#146;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-year</FONT>
historical average multiple of Adjusted TEV to NTM EBITDA of 6.1x and the spread of approximately 1.5x between its current EBITDA and EBITDAP multiples and at the bottom end by the average multiple for the AK Steel direct selected companies due to
the implementation of U.S. tariffs on steel imports. For purposes of its analysis, Moelis treated underfunded <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-effected</FONT> pensions and unfunded OPEB obligations as debt-like items. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In calculating the implied equity value range of AK Steel, Moelis separately valued AK Steel&#146;s NOLs on a levered, post-interest basis
assuming an NOL balance of $2,184&nbsp;million as provided by AK Steel management using a cost of equity range of 8.5% to 14.5% and Cliffs&#146; Adjusted AK Steel Projections (including with respect to tax rates) for calendar years 2020 through
2024; for calendar years 2025 through 2027 Moelis held constant AK Steel&#146;s earnings before interest and taxes, calculated as the average of AK Steel&#146;s actual and estimated earnings before interest and taxes for the calendar years ending
December&nbsp;31, 2018 through December&nbsp;31, 2024) resulting in an implied present value range of approximately $327&nbsp;million to $394&nbsp;million. </P>

connection with, Moelis&#146; opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytical process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or summary set forth
above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying Moelis&#146; opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Moelis considered the results of all of its analyses and did not
attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis. Rather, Moelis made its fairness determination on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">No company used in the analyses described above is identical to Cliffs or AK Steel. In addition, such analyses do not purport to be
appraisals, nor do they necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more
or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Because the analyses described above (including much of the information used therein) are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the
parties or their respective advisors, neither Cliffs nor Moelis or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecast. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as described in this summary, Cliffs and the Cliffs board imposed no other instructions or limitations on Moelis with respect to the
investigations made or procedures followed by Moelis in rendering its opinion. The exchange ratio was determined through arms&#146; length negotiations between Cliffs, on the one hand, and AK Steel, on the other, and was approved by the Cliffs board
and the AK Steel board. Moelis did not recommend any specific consideration to Cliffs or the Cliffs board, or that any specific amount or type of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Merger. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Moelis acted as financial advisor to Cliffs in connection with the Merger and will receive a transaction fee of $11,000,000 for its services
contingent upon the consummation of the Merger. Moelis also became entitled to receive an additional fee of $3,000,000, which fee became payable upon the delivery of Moelis&#146; opinion, regardless of the conclusion reached by Moelis therein. In
addition, Cliffs agreed to indemnify Moelis for certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, arising out of its engagement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Moelis&#146; affiliates, employees, officers and partners may at any time own securities (long or short) of Cliffs, AK Steel or their
respective affiliates. Moelis is currently providing investment banking services to Cliffs unrelated to the Merger. Moelis has not received any fees from Cliffs, aside from the fees described above in connection with the Merger, in the two years
preceding the date of its opinion. Moelis had not provided investment banking or other services to AK Steel in the three years prior to the date of its opinion. In the future Moelis may provide such services to Cliffs or AK Steel or their affiliates
and may receive compensation for such services. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Cliffs board selected Moelis as its financial advisor in connection with the Merger
because Moelis has substantial experience in similar transactions and familiarity with Cliffs. Moelis is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, strategic transactions,
corporate restructurings, and valuations for corporate and other purposes. </P>

received, and may receive, compensation, including having acted as joint bookrunner with respect to a private placement of Cliffs&#146; 4.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (aggregate principal amount $400,000,000) in December 2017; as joint
bookrunner with respect to a public offering of Cliffs&#146; 1.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (aggregate principal amount $316,250,000) in December 2017; as sole bookrunner with respect to a private placement of Cliffs&#146; 5.875% Senior
Guaranteed Notes due 2027 (aggregate principal amount $750,000,000) in April 2019; and as dealer-manager with respect to Cliffs&#146; tender offer of its outstanding 5.75% Senior Guaranteed Notes due 2025 (aggregate principal amount $600,000,000) in
May 2019. During the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-year</FONT> period ended December&nbsp;2, 2019, Goldman Sachs has recognized compensation for financial advisory and/or underwriting services provided by its Investment Banking Division to
Cliffs and/or its affiliates of approximately $7.35&nbsp;million, net of expenses and other adjustments. Goldman Sachs may also in the future provide financial advisory and/or underwriting services to AK Steel, Cliffs, and their respective

as its financial advisor because it is an internationally recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar to the Merger. Pursuant to an engagement letter dated November&nbsp;27, 2019, AK Steel engaged
Goldman Sachs to act as its financial advisor in connection with the Merger. The engagement letter between AK Steel and Goldman Sachs provides for a transaction fee in the amount of $26.5&nbsp;million, all of which is contingent upon the

among other reasons, the uncertainty of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, Cliffs management and AK Steel management prepared certain unaudited forecasted financial information, which was made available to the Cliffs board, the AK
Steel board and their respective financial advisors, Moelis and Goldman Sachs, as and to the extent further described below, in connection with the evaluation of the proposed Merger. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Cliffs management prepared unaudited forecasted financial information for Cliffs on a standalone basis, and AK Steel management prepared
unaudited forecasted financial information for AK Steel on a standalone basis, including as summarized below. In addition, using the unaudited forecasted financial information provided by AK Steel, Cliffs management prepared unaudited forecasted
financial information for AK Steel on a standalone basis, including as summarized below. Similarly, using the unaudited forecasted financial information provided by Cliffs, AK Steel management prepared unaudited forecasted financial information for
Cliffs on a standalone basis, including as summarized below. The unaudited forecasted financial information was prepared separately by Cliffs management and AK Steel management treating each company on a standalone basis, without giving effect to
the proposed Merger, including any synergies expected to be realized following the Merger, and using, in some cases, different assumptions, including in respect of prices for certain commodities utilized in each company&#146;s business. Using the AK
Steel unaudited forecasted financial information and the Cliffs unaudited forecasted financial information, as well as certain estimates regarding the synergies that were projected to result from the Merger and be realized by the combined company,
AK Steel management also prepared unaudited forecasted financial information for the combined company on a pro forma basis. The unaudited forecasted financial information of the companies is not intended to be added together, and adding the
unaudited forecasted financial information together for the two companies is not intended to represent the results the combined company will achieve if the Merger is completed, nor is it intended to represent forecasted financial information for the
combined company if the Merger is completed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The inclusion of the unaudited forecasted financial information set forth below, including
the estimated synergies, should not be regarded as an indication that any of Cliffs, AK Steel, Moelis, Goldman Sachs or any other recipient of this information considered, or now considers, it to be necessarily predictive of actual future results.
Readers of this document are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the unaudited forecasted financial information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited
forecasted financial information, including the estimated synergies, was, in general, prepared solely for internal use and is subjective in many respects. As a result, there can be no assurance that the forecasted results will be realized or that
actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated. Since the unaudited forecasted financial information covers multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. The estimates and
assumptions underlying the unaudited forecasted financial information involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, regulatory and financial market conditions which may not materialize and that are inherently
subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Cliffs or AK Steel and will be beyond the control of the combined company. In particular, the unaudited
forecasted financial information assumes that tariffs in effect at the time of preparation would continue and that no global economic downturn would occur in the relevant period. </P>

disclosures about Cliffs, AK Steel, or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus or in Cliffs&#146; or AK Steel&#146;s public reports filed with the SEC may supplement, update or modify the
factual disclosures about Cliffs or AK Steel, as applicable, contained in the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants made in the Merger Agreement by Cliffs, AK Steel and Merger Sub were made solely for the purposes of the
Merger Agreement and as of specific dates and were qualified and subject to important limitations agreed to by Cliffs, AK Steel and Merger Sub in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement. In particular, in your review of the
representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated among other things as a means of establishing the circumstances
in which a party to the Merger Agreement may have the right not to complete the Merger if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and of allocating risk between the
parties to the Merger Agreement, rather than establishing matters as facts. The representations and warranties may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to investors and reports and
documents filed with the SEC, and in some cases were qualified by the matters contained in the respective disclosure letters that Cliffs and AK Steel delivered to each other in connection with the Merger Agreement, which disclosures are not
reflected in the Merger Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties, which do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, may have changed since the
date of the Merger Agreement. Investors should not rely on the Merger Agreement representations, warranties, covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts of Cliffs, AK Steel, Merger Sub or any of their
respective subsidiaries or affiliates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="toc846586_64"></A>The Merger </B></P>

Merger Sub will cease, and AK Steel will continue as the surviving corporation and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Cliffs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="toc846586_65">

federal income tax purposes, the Merger will qualify as a &#147;reorganization&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Code, and it is a condition to the parties&#146; respective obligations to consummate the Merger that AK Steel
receive a tax opinion, dated as of the closing date of the Merger, to the effect that the Merger will be treated as a &#147;reorganization&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Code, which is referred to as the Closing Condition Tax
Opinion, from Weil, AK Steel&#146;s tax counsel. If Weil is unwilling or unable to provide the Closing Condition Tax Opinion, (i)&nbsp;Cliffs&#146; tax counsel may, at the election of Cliffs, deliver the Closing Condition Tax Opinion to AK Steel or
(ii)&nbsp;if Cliffs does not elect to have its tax counsel deliver the Closing Condition Tax Opinion to AK Steel, AK Steel must use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Closing Condition Tax Opinion from another nationally recognized tax
counsel reasonably acceptable to AK Steel. The Closing Condition Tax Opinion will be based on customary assumptions and representations made by Cliffs and AK Steel, as well as certain covenants and undertakings by Cliffs and AK Steel. The parties
have the ability to waive the receipt of the Closing Condition Tax Opinion as a condition to the consummation of the Merger. The parties do not currently intend to waive the receipt of the Closing Condition Tax Opinion as a condition to the
consummation of the Merger. However, if the parties do waive the condition that AK Steel has received the Closing Condition Tax Opinion after the registration statement on Form S-4, of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, is
declared effective by the SEC, and if the tax consequences of the Merger to AK Steel stockholders have materially changed, AK Steel will recirculate appropriate soliciting materials and will resolicit the votes of the AK Steel stockholders with
respect to the adoption of the Merger Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An opinion of counsel is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service, which is referred
to as the IRS, or any court. Neither Cliffs nor AK Steel intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of the Merger. Accordingly, even if AK Steel receives a tax opinion that concludes that the
Merger will qualify as a &#147;reorganization&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Code, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions reflected in the opinion or that a court would not sustain such a
challenge. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Exchange of Shares of AK Steel common stock for Cliffs common shares</I>. Subject to the discussion below relating to the

common stock surrendered in exchange for Cliffs common shares. The holding period for Cliffs common shares received in the Merger will include the holding period for the shares of AK Steel common stock surrendered in exchange for such Cliffs common
shares, including any fractional Cliffs common shares for which cash is received. In the case of a U.S. holder who holds shares of AK Steel common stock with differing tax bases and/or holding periods, which generally occurs when blocks of shares

share as part of the Merger consideration generally will be treated as having received the fractional share pursuant to the Merger and then as having sold to Cliffs that fraction of a Cliffs common share for cash. As a result, a U.S. holder of
shares of AK Steel common stock generally will recognize gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of such fractional share and the portion of the U.S. holder&#146;s tax basis in the shares of AK Steel
common stock allocated to the fractional share. Gain or loss recognized with respect to cash received in lieu of any fractional Cliffs common shares generally will be capital gain or loss, and generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, as
of the effective time of the Merger, the holding period for such shares of AK Steel common stock is greater than one year. Long-term capital gain of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. holders (including individuals) currently

Merger will be required to retain records pertaining to the Merger. Each U.S. holder of AK Steel common stock who is required to file a United States federal income tax return and who is a &#147;significant holder&#148; that receives Cliffs common
shares in the Merger will be required to file a statement with such United States federal income tax return for the taxable year of the Merger in accordance with Treasury Regulations <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Section&nbsp;1.368-3</FONT>
setting forth certain information regarding the Merger. A &#147;significant holder&#148; is a holder of AK Steel common stock who, immediately before the Merger, owned at least 5% of the outstanding stock of AK Steel or securities of AK Steel with a
tax basis for United States federal income tax purposes of at least $1&nbsp;million. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Backup Withholding</I>. Payments to a U.S. holder
of cash in lieu of receiving fractional shares of Cliffs common shares in the Merger, may, under certain circumstances, be subject to backup withholding at the applicable rate (currently 24%), unless the U.S. holder receiving such payments provides
proof of an applicable exemption or provides a certificate containing the holder&#146;s name, address, correct federal taxpayer identification number and a statement that the holder is exempt from backup withholding and otherwise complies with all
applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding does not constitute an additional tax, and any amounts withheld from payments to a holder under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against
the holder&#146;s United States federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. </P>

STATEMENTS </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Note 1: Description of transaction </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On December&nbsp;2, 2019, Cliffs, Merger Sub and AK Steel entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which, subject to satisfaction or (to
the extent permitted by law) waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Cliffs will acquire AK Steel by way of the Merger. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into AK Steel, with AK Steel continuing as the
surviving corporation in the Merger and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Cliffs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of the Merger, each share of AK Steel
common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than excluded shares) will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration of 0.400 Cliffs common shares, and if applicable, cash in
lieu of any fractional Cliffs common shares. Cliffs estimates that, immediately following completion of the Merger, former holders of AK Steel common stock will own approximately 32% and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-Merger</FONT> holders of
Cliffs common shares will own approximately 68% of the common shares of the combined company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial information of Cliffs and AK Steel and has been prepared to give effect to the proposed Merger and related financing transactions. Cliffs intends to replace or refinance certain
of AK Steel&#146;s outstanding debt in conjunction with the completion of the Merger and to undertake financing for, among other things, the payment of related fees and expenses. Anticipated financing activities include issuing new long-term debt in
the form of Cliffs secured notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $500&nbsp;million, issuing Cliffs unsecured notes in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $406&nbsp;million, replacing AK Steel&#146;s revolving credit
facility with a new combined asset-based revolving credit facility and exchanging up to $662&nbsp;million aggregate principal amount of AK Steel debt for a like amount of debt of Cliffs with identical terms with respect to maturity and interest
rates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Note 2: Basis of presentation </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting, with Cliffs
considered the accounting acquirer of AK Steel. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the preliminary purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair
market values, with the excess purchase price, if any, allocated to goodwill. To prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Cliffs adjusted AK Steel&#146;s assets and liabilities to their estimated fair values based on
Cliffs&#146; preliminary valuation work. As of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Cliffs has not completed the detailed valuation work necessary to finalize the required estimated fair values and estimated useful lives of AK
Steel&#146;s assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed and the related allocation of the purchase price. The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after completion of the Merger and determination of the estimated fair
value of AK Steel&#146;s assets and liabilities, and associated tax adjustments. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments contained herein. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted
by Cliffs. Certain financial information of AK Steel as presented in its historical consolidated financial statements has been preliminarily reclassified to conform to the historical presentation in Cliffs&#146; consolidated financial statements for
the purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Upon completion of the Merger, Cliffs will perform a full and detailed review of AK Steel&#146;s accounting policies. As a result of that review, Cliffs may
identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the combined company. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Historical results should not be considered indicative of future combined company
performance as there are certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-recurring</FONT> items. For example, Cliffs&#146; <I>Income Tax Benefit (Expense)</I> for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2018 was positively impacted by the release of
$541.1&nbsp;million of tax valuation allowance in the United States, which is considered a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-recurring</FONT> item. Additionally, AK Steel&#146;s historical financial statements include <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-recurring</FONT> Ashland Works closure charges of $77.4&nbsp;million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2019 and charges related to pension plan annuity transactions, which resulted in a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</FONT> pension settlement charge of $14.5&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2018 and is expected to result in a non-cash settlement charge of approximately $25.0&nbsp;million in the fourth quarter
of 2019. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Note 3: Accounting policies </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects adjustments to conform AK Steel&#146;s results to Cliffs&#146;
accounting policies. There is a significant difference between the respective company accounting policies related to pension and OPEB amortization methods. Both AK Steel and Cliffs use a &#147;corridor,&#148; defined as 10% of the larger of the
projected benefit obligation and plan assets, to determine recognition of previously unrecognized actuarial net gains or losses. AK Steel immediately recognizes net actuarial gains or losses that exceed the corridor and amortizes net actuarial gains
or losses within the corridor over the plan participants&#146; average life expectancy. Cliffs amortizes net actuarial gains or losses that exceed the corridor over the plan participants&#146; average future service period. </P>

conform to Cliffs&#146; financial statement presentation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Reclassifications to AK Steel&#146;s unaudited condensed consolidated statement

&#147;householding&#148; and is designed to reduce Cliffs&#146; printing and postage costs and to lower its environmental impact by reducing paper copies. If you are the beneficial owner, but not the record holder, of Cliffs shares, your broker,
bank or other nominee may only deliver one set of proxy materials and, as applicable, any other proxy materials that are delivered until such time as you or other shareholders sharing an address notify your nominee that you want to receive separate
copies. A shareholder who wishes to receive a separate copy of the proxy statement and annual report, either now or in the future, may submit this request by writing to Cliffs&#146; Secretary at Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., 200 Public Square, Suite 3300,
Cleveland, Ohio 44114, or calling the Investor Relations department at (800) <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">214-0739,</FONT> and they will be delivered promptly. Beneficial owners sharing an address who are receiving multiple copies of proxy
materials and who wish to receive a single copy of such materials in the future will need to contact their broker, bank or other nominee to request that only a single copy of each document be mailed to all shareholders at the shared address in the
future. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="toc846586_117"></A>AK Steel Householding </B></P>
