ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING
THE 2020 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MAY 8, 2020
Dear ATI Stockholders:
After careful consideration, and in light of public health concerns regarding the coronavirus pandemic and the importance of safeguarding the health of our stockholders, employees, directors and officers, Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (the “Company”) has decided to forego for this year the physical location of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2020 Annual Meeting”) in favor of avirtual meeting format only.The 2020 Annual Meeting will still be held at 11:00 a.m. Central Time on May 8, 2020.
As there will not be a physical location, stockholders will not be able to vote their shares in person at the 2020 Annual Meeting. The only way for stockholders to vote their shares is to submit a proxy in advance of the meeting using one of the methods described in the proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting or to attend the meeting virtually per the instructions below.
We are committed to ensuring, to the extent possible, that our stockholders will be afforded the ability to participate at the virtual meeting like they would at an in-person meeting. If you were a stockholder of record as of the close of business on March 9, 2020, the record date, or hold a legal proxy for the meeting provided by your bank, broker or nominee, you are entitled to participate in the 2020 Annual Meeting, vote electronically and submit questions during the live webcast of the meeting by visitingwww.meetingcenter.io/200046429and entering your control number and the password,ATI2020. You may also submit questions in advance of and during the 2020 Annual Meeting by emailing your question, along with proof of ownership, toinvestors@ATImetals.com.
To be admitted to the 2020 Annual Meeting as a “Stockholder” (with the option to vote your shares, examine the shareowner list and submit questions during the meeting), you must follow specific instructions, including, for shareowners of record, entering the control number you previously received and, for beneficial owners, obtaining a legal proxy and registering in advance for the virtual meeting. Questions and answers relating to the virtual meeting format, including specific instructions on how to be admitted to the meeting, can be found on our website atwww.atimetals.com/annualmeeting and will be filed as additional proxy soliciting materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Your vote is important to us. Whether or not you plan to participate in the live webcast of the 2020 Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of the meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting. The proxy card included with the proxy materials previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the virtual meeting format and may continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with the 2020 Annual Meeting. If you have already submitted your proxy, there is no need to submit another proxy or vote at the 2020 Annual Meeting unless you wish to change or revoke your vote.
A list of stockholders of record as of the record date will continue to be available upon request at our corporate headquarters for inspection by stockholders for any purpose germane to the meeting from April 28 through May 7, 2020. The list will also be available to shareowners atwww.meetingcenter.io/200046429during the live webcast of the 2020 Annual Meeting.
