<div><br>
</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Certain statements contained in this document may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding the proposed merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the &#8220;proposed merger transaction&#8221;) and the ability to consummate the proposed merger transaction. These forward-looking statements generally include statements that are predictive in nature and depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and include words such as &#8220;believes,&#8221; &#8220;plans,&#8221; &#8220;anticipates,&#8221; &#8220;projects,&#8221; &#8220;estimates,&#8221; &#8220;expects,&#8221; &#8220;intends,&#8221; &#8220;strategy,&#8221; &#8220;future,&#8221; &#8220;opportunity,&#8221; &#8220;may,&#8221; &#8220;will,&#8221; &#8220;should,&#8221; &#8220;could,&#8221; &#8220;potential&#8221; or similar expressions. Statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: (1) the Company may be unable to obtain shareholder approval for the proposed merger transaction; (2) the conditions to the closing of the proposed merger transaction may not be satisfied and required regulatory approvals may not be obtained; (3) the proposed merger transaction may involve unexpected costs, liabilities or delays; (4) the business of the Company may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the proposed merger transaction; (5) the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the proposed merger transaction; (6) the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, legislative, regulatory and/or competitive factors; (7) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (8) risks that the proposed merger transaction disrupts current plans and operations and the potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the proposed merger transaction; (9) the failure by Armor Parent Corp. or Armor Merger Sub Corp. to obtain the necessary debt and equity financing arrangements set forth in the commitment letters received in connection with the proposed merger transaction; and (10) other risks to consummation of the proposed merger transaction, including the risk that the proposed merger transaction will not be consummated within the expected time period or at all. If the proposed merger transaction is consummated, the Company&#8217;s shareholders will cease to have any equity interest in the Company and will have no right to participate in its earnings and future growth. The foregoing review of important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with statements that are included herein and elsewhere, including the Company&#8217;s filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, the annual proxy statement for its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the definitive proxy statement filed in connection with the proposed merger transaction and recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, which are available on the SEC&#8217;s website at www.sec.gov. Except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Company does not intend, and assumes no obligation, to update any forward-looking statements. The Company&#8217;s filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, the annual proxy statement for its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the definitive proxy statement filed in connection with the proposed merger transaction and recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, are available on the SEC&#8217;s website at www.sec.gov.</div>

Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Supplemental Indenture
In connection with the previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation (the "Tender Offer"), on November 1, 2016, Accuride Corporation (the "Company") entered into the First Supplemental Indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture") to the Indenture, dated July 29, 2010, by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, Wilmington Trust, National Association (as successor to Wilmington Trust FSB), as Trustee, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as notes priority collateral agent, registrar, paying agent and transfer agent, governing the Company's 9.5% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the "Notes"). The Supplemental Indenture was entered into to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants (other than, among other covenants, the covenant to pay interest and premium, if any, on and principal of, the Notes when due) and certain events of default applicable to the Notes (the "Proposed Amendments"). Pursuant to the terms of the Supplemental Indenture, the Proposed Amendments will become operative only upon the purchase by the Company of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer.
The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 8.01.
Other Events.
On November 2, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing that, in connection with its previously announced Tender Offer, it had received, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 1, 2016  (the "Early Tender Deadline"), as reported by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, valid tenders and consents from holders of $234,954,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, which represents approximately 75.8% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes. As a result of obtaining the requisite consents, the Company executed and delivered the Supplemental Indenture. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information contained in Item 8.01 and Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and not filed for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not deemed incorporated by reference by any general statements incorporating by reference this report or future filings into any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates the information by reference. By filing this report on Form 8-K and furnishing this information, the Company makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this report that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD. The information contained in this report and in Exhibit 99.1 shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any Notes.
The information contained in this report and in Exhibit 99.1 is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and other public announcements that the Company may make from time to time, by press release or otherwise. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in this report, although it may do so from time to time as it believes is warranted. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public disclosures.

Participants in the Solicitation
The Company and its directors, executive officers and certain other members of management and employees may be deemed to be participants in soliciting proxies from its stockholders in connection with the proposed merger transaction.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this document may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding the proposed merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the "proposed merger transaction") and the ability to consummate the proposed merger transaction. These forward-looking statements generally include statements that are predictive in nature and depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and include words such as "believes," "plans," "anticipates," "projects," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "may," "will," "should," "could," "potential" or similar expressions. Statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: (1) the Company may be unable to obtain shareholder approval for the proposed merger transaction; (2) the conditions to the closing of the proposed merger transaction may not be satisfied and required regulatory approvals may not be obtained; (3) the proposed merger transaction may involve unexpected costs, liabilities or delays; (4) the business of the Company may suffer as a result of uncertainty surrounding the proposed merger transaction; (5) the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the proposed merger transaction; (6) the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, legislative, regulatory and/or competitive factors; (7) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (8) risks that the proposed merger transaction disrupts current plans and operations and the potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the proposed merger transaction; (9) the failure by Armor Parent Corp. or Armor Merger Sub Corp. to obtain the necessary debt and equity financing arrangements set forth in the commitment letters received in connection with the proposed merger transaction; and (10) other risks to consummation of the proposed merger transaction, including the risk that the proposed merger transaction will not be consummated within the expected time period or at all. If the proposed merger transaction is consummated, the Company's shareholders will cease to have any equity interest in the Company and will have no right to participate in its earnings and future growth. The foregoing review of important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with statements that are included herein and elsewhere, including the Company's filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, the annual proxy statement for its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the definitive proxy statement filed in connection with the proposed merger transaction and recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The Company does not intend, and assumes no obligation, to update any forward-looking statements. The Company's filings with the SEC, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, the annual proxy statement for its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the definitive proxy statement filed in connection with the proposed merger transaction and recent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
