The correct amount beneficially owned as reported in this amendment is 109,259.344 stock credits. The Original Form 4 also inadvertently reported the number of stock credits acquired (i) pursuant to a dividend reinvestment feature of the Kennametal Inc. Stock Incentive Plan of 2002 as 324.287, and (ii) pursuant to a dividend reinvestment feature of the Kennametal Inc. Directors Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, as 451.101. The correct amounts as reported in footnote 4 in this amendment are 369.806 and 461.697, respectively.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">1 for 1</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The stock credits become payable in common stock (i) in the event of a change of control of the company or (ii) on the date that the reporting person ceases (other than by death) to be a director (&quot;retirement&quot;), unless the reporting person has elected to receive the common stock represented by the stock credits following retirement.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Includes 369.806 stock credits acquired pursuant to a dividend reinvestment feature of the Kennametal Inc. Stock Incentive Plan of 2002 and 461.697 stock credits acquired pursuant to a dividend reinvestment feature of the Kennametal Inc. Directors Stock Incentive Plan, as amended. The company maintains a separate dividend reinvestment plan available to its shareholders that satisfies the requirement of Rule 16a-11 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.</footnote>
