FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Accuride Corporation Receives Notice of NYSE Continued Listing Noncompliance

·	Common stock continues trading under symbol "ACW"

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – February 19, 2016 – Accuride Corporation (NYSE: ACW) ("The Company") – a leading supplier of components to the North American and European commercial vehicle industries – announced that it was notified by the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on February 18, 2016 that the Company was not in compliance with the NYSE Continued Listing standard requiring listed-company common stock to maintain an average closing price of not less than $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days.  Accuride has 10 business days in which to inform the NYSE that we intend to restore our compliance with its share-price requirement, and we intend to comply with this requirement.

Under NYSE requirements, Accuride has six months from receipt of this notification – subject to possible extension – to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement or be subject to suspension and delisting by the NYSE.   The Company may regain compliance at any time during the six-month cure period if its common stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 on the last trading day of any calendar month during the period, and also has an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month.

Accuride is exploring alternatives for curing this deficiency and restoring compliance with the NYSE Continued Listing standards.  The notice does not affect the company's normal business operations or the listing of the Company's common stock, which will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol "ACW."  The NYSE will assign the stock a ".BC" designation to signify that the company is not in compliance with NYSE Continued Listing standards.
