At the special meeting of the stockholders of Accuride

Meeting), the stockholders approved the following proposals:

The proposal was approved with a vote of 27,626,640 shares in favor, 13,421,352 shares against, 352,261 abstentions and 0 broker non-votes. |
|
2. |
Proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt the Merger Agreement at the time of the Special Meeting. The proposal was approved with a vote of 27,128,773 shares in favor, 13,922,167 shares against, 349,313 abstentions and 0 broker non-votes.
