Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 24, 2013, Horsehead Holding Corp. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, as representative of the underwriters named therein, for the issuance and sale in a public offering of 5,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a public offering price of $12.00 per share. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 825,000 additional shares. The option was exercised in full prior to closing. The Company closed the sale of the common stock on October 30, 2013.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, acquisitions and working capital.

The public offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-191441) (the “Registration Statement”), as supplemented by a preliminary prospectus supplement dated October 23, 2013 and a final prospectus supplement dated October 24, 2013.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities that could be incurred by them in connection with the public offering. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Underwriting Agreement are not factual information to investors about the Company. Security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Underwriting Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

The foregoing summary of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 23, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing that it had launched the public offering described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on October 24, 2013, it issued a press release announcing that it had priced the public offering.
