CARNEGIE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (NYSE: AP) (the “Corporation” or “Ampco-Pittsburgh”) announced today that it has received $18,557,202.89 of subscriptions (approximately 93% subscribed) for its up to $20 million rights offering. Approximately 7%, or $1,442,797.11, remains available. In order to accommodate right holders who wish to subscribe for additional units, Ampco-Pittsburgh is extending the expiration of its previously announced rights offering two business days to 5:00 PM Eastern Time on Friday, September 18, 2020 (the “Extended Expiration Time”).

Units consist of shares of common stock (the “Common Shares”) and Series A warrants to purchase Common Shares, which expire on August 1, 2025. The subscription price for units entitling participants in the rights offering to a whole Common Share and to receive a Series A warrant to purchase a whole Common Share was determined based on $3.50 per share. In addition, the exercise price for Series A warrants to purchase a whole Common Share has been set at $5.75 per share. The units and Series A warrants will be exercisable only for whole Common Shares.

If exercising subscription rights through a broker, dealer, custodian bank, or other nominee (including any mobile investment platform), then rights holders of record should deliver all required subscription documents and subscription payments pursuant to the instructions provided by their nominee.

If shares of common stock are held in the rights holder’s name, and subscription rights will not be exercised through a broker, dealer, custodian bank, or other nominee (including any mobile investment platform), then the subscription certificate, all other required subscription documents, and subscription payments should be sent by mail to Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the Subscription Agent, at the address below, to be received before the Extended Expiration Time.
