A.M. CASTLE & CO. (NASDAQ:CASL) Files An 8-K Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 5, 2017, the Board of Directors of A.M. Castle Co.
(the Company) determined that the Annual Meeting of Stockholders
(the Annual Meeting) will be held on June 7, 2017, at 10:00 a.m.,
Central Time, at 1420 Kensington Road, Suite 220, Oak Brook,
Illinois 60523.

The Annual Meeting date has been changed by more than 30 days
from the anniversary of the Companys prior annual meeting of
stockholders, which was held on July 27, 2016. The Company has
set the close of business on January 27, 2017, as the deadline
for the receipt of any stockholder proposals submitted to Rule
14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act), for inclusion in the Companys proxy materials for
the 2017 Annual Meeting, which the Company considers to be a
reasonable time before it begins to print and send its proxy
materials for the 2017 Annual Meeting. Stockholders should
deliver proposals to the Company at 1420 Kensington Road, Suite
220, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
Any such proposals must satisfy the requirements set forth in
Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act.

As noted above, the 2017 Annual Meeting date represents a change
of more than thirty days from the anniversary of the previous
years meeting. As a result, a new deadline applies for
stockholder proposals submitted outside of Rule 14a-8 of the
Exchange Act and nominations of candidates for election as
directors. To be considered timely, such proposals and
nominations must now be received by the Companys Secretary no
earlier than the close of business on February 7, 2017 and no
later than the close of business on March 9, 2017. Any such
proposals must also satisfy the requirements set forth in the
Companys amended and restated bylaws.
