<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 11.25pt 0 0">On January 22, 2016, Albany International France S.A.S.,
a subsidiary of Albany International Corp. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) initiated discussions with the employee Works Council regarding
a proposal to cease R&amp;D activities at the Company&rsquo;s production facility in S&eacute;lestat, France. The proposed measures
would result in the elimination of 25 positions (including three vacancies) and the departure of 22 employees. Continuing R&amp;D
projects currently conducted at the S&eacute;lestat facility will be transferred to the Company&rsquo;s R&amp;D center in Halmstad,
Sweden.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 11.25pt 0 0">Works Council consultations will be completed in accordance
with applicable French law. Until such consultations are concluded, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the costs it would
expect to incur in connection with the proposed action. The Company will disclose the amount, type and timing of such costs promptly
after they are determined.</P>
