Item 2.05 Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On
December 2, 2020, Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (the
“Company”) announced that it is exiting standard stainless sheet products, streamlining the
production footprint of its Advanced Alloys and Solutions (
“AA&S”) segment and making certain capital investments to increase its focus on higher-margin products and the aerospace and defense end markets. In connection with these changes, the
Company plans to cease production activities at five locations by year-end 2021, and expects to incur one-time charges in the range of $25 to $30 million to be expensed in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Item 2.06
Material Impairments
On
December 2, 2020,
the Company announced that, based on several factors, including its decision to exit standard stainless sheet products, it had concluded
that the fair values of certain production assets were below their carrying amounts. Consequently,
the Company’s fourth quarter results will include approximately $1 billion of non-cash charges for long-lived asset impairments, predominantly
associated with ATI’s Brackenridge, PA operations, including the Hot-Rolling and Processing Facility.
Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

for both the High Performance Materials and Components (HPMC) and AA&S segments, effective
