On February 24, 2011, Michael J. Bevacqua advised us that he does not wish to be nominated for re-election as a director of Accuride Corporation (the “Company”).  Mr. Bevacqua’s decision is not due to any disagreement with the Company, nor is he refusing to stand for reelection.  He will continue to serve as a director for the remainder of his current term, which expires at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders scheduled for April 26, 2011.

On February 24, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) modified the compensation structure for the Company’s non-employee directors, to include payment of a $30,000 annual cash retainer for the Company’s non-employee Chairman of the Board, which retainer will be in addition to the non-employee director fees previously disclosed by the Company.
