ATI has agreed to sell $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”).

ATI intends to use the net proceeds from the convertible senior notes offering for general corporate purposes, which may include voluntary or required contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension trust or repurchases, repayment or refinancing of debt.

Citigroup, J.P. Morgan and BofA Merrill Lynch are the joint book-running managers for the offering.
