<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><I>Urges Stockholders to Vote FOR the GrafTech Director Nominees on the WHITE Proxy Card </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>PARMA, Ohio&#151; April&nbsp;15, 2014</B>&#151;GrafTech International Ltd. (NYSE:GTI) (&#147;GrafTech&#148;) today issued the following statement in
response to the Daniel and Nathan Milikowsky Group&#146;s filing of its definitive proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the Company&#146;s May&nbsp;15, 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders: </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">After announcing its intention to take control of the GrafTech Board at the 2014 Annual Meeting by nominating five director candidates, the
Daniel and Nathan Milikowsky Group recently announced its plan to nominate only three candidates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unfortunately, Nathan Milikowsky
continues to include himself as a nominee, despite the Board&#146;s evidence-based conclusion that his prior governance breaches and conduct demonstrate that he is not a qualified candidate. Nathan Milikowsky&#146;s personal quest to reinstate
himself to GrafTech&#146;s Board in spite of his clear breaches of good corporate governance and ethics is at the heart of the issue. We have made a number of good faith efforts to resolve this matter. GrafTech&#146;s Board and management will not
compromise on good corporate governance and ethics, plain and simple. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As noted in the Company&#146;s proxy statement, on multiple
occasions, the GrafTech Board has offered to add David Jardini and Karen Finerman, current nominees of the Daniel and Nathan Milikowsky Group slate, to the GrafTech Board. As GrafTech also noted in its proxy statement, if all seven of
GrafTech&#146;s Board nominees are elected, the Company intends to offer to add Board representation from the Daniel and Nathan Milikowsky Group after the 2014 Annual Meeting, choosing from among those candidates who meet GrafTech&#146;s corporate
governance criteria. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">GrafTech reminds stockholders to protect their investment by voting the WHITE proxy card FOR GrafTech&#146;s seven
highly qualified and experienced director nominees. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
