Departure of Directors

On May 8, 2025, each of Frederick D. DiSanto and Stephen E. Paul informed the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (the “Corporation”) of their intention to step down from the Board of the Corporation as directors of the class of 2026, effective as of May 15, 2025. Mr. DiSanto will step down from the Finance and Investment Committee of the Board, and Mr. Paul will step down from the Compensation and Finance and Investment Committees at the same time. The decision of neither Mr. DiSanto nor Mr. Paul to step down from the Board is the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Corporation or its Board.

With the resignations of Mr. DiSanto and Mr. Paul from the Board, the Board has determined to return the size of the Board to eight (8) directors, down from ten (10) directors, effective upon their resignations.

Approval of 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as Amended and Restated)

On March 6, 2025, the Board, subject to shareholder approval, approved the Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”). The Plan is currently the Corporation’s only plan providing for the issuance of equity-based awards. The Compensation Committee of the Board administers the Plan to provide future grants of stock options and other share-based awards to the Corporation’s directors, officers and employees. On May 8, 2025, shareholders holding a majority of the common stock, $1.00 par value (the “common stock”) of the Corporation voted in favor of the amendment to the Plan.

The Compensation Committee of the Board recommended amending the Plan after reviewing the Plan and, based on that review, determining that an insufficient number of shares were available under the Plan. This amendment and restatement of the Plan increases the number of shares of Common Stock available for delivery under the plan by 500,000 shares. The additional shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock authorized to be delivered under the Plan pursuant to the amendment are expected to be registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8.
