Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On September 23, 2013, the Board of Directors of Haynes International, Inc. (the “Company”) approved stock ownership guidelines applicable to executive officers and members of the Board of Directors.  The guidelines will become effective on January 1, 2014 and require that, within five (5) years from the effective date, executive officers and directors each own an amount of the Company’s common stock determined based upon a multiple of base salary, in the case of executive officers, or annual retainer, in the case of board members.  The multiples are as follows:  in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, 300% of base salary; in the case of all other executive officers, 200% of base salary; in the case of members of the Board of Directors, 400% of annual retainer.  The calculation of shares owned by an individual includes shares owned directly or indirectly, including those subject to risk of forfeiture (but not forfeited) under the Company’s 2009 Restricted Stock Plan.  However, shares subject to options are not included in the calculation.
