<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 11.25pt 0 0">Albany International Corp. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;)
has entered into Severance Agreements (collectively the &ldquo;Severance Agreements&rdquo;) with various corporate officers or
key executives including named executive officers, but excluding its principal executive officer (each a &ldquo;Counterparty&rdquo;).
The Severance Agreements become effective January 1, 2013 and are intended to replace similar severance agreements entered into
in July, 2009 which, by their terms, expired December 31, 2012. The new Severance Agreements have been revised and updated to conform
to current best practices. The material terms of the Severance Agreements provide that in the event a Counterparty&rsquo;s employment
is terminated by the Company at any time before December 31, 2015 for any reason other than Cause (as defined in the Severance
Agreement), or if the Counterparty&rsquo;s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Counterparty for Good
Cause within 12 months following a Change in Control occurring before January 1, 2016 (as those terms are defined in the Severance
Agreement), the Counterparty shall be entitled to receive his or her gross monthly base salary in effect at the time of termination,
less applicable withholdings and deductions, for the period of months specified in the Severance Agreement (the &ldquo;Severance
Period&rdquo;). In addition, if elected, the Company will pay the required premium to continue healthcare coverage under the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (&ldquo;COBRA&rdquo;). The Severance Period differs among Counterparty, and ranges from 12 months
to 18 months. For named executive officers John B. Cozzolino, Daniel A. Halftermeyer, and Ralph M. Polumbo the Severance Period
is 18 months. In order to receive the severance benefits, the Counterparty is obligated to execute a release in favor of the Company
at the time of termination. The Counterparty is also bound to a restrictive covenant during the Severance Period. A copy of the
form of Severance Agreement is attached and being filed as an exhibit to this current report on Form 8-K. The summary of its provisions
is not complete and reference is made to the exhibit for its complete terms.</P>
