CARNEGIE, Pa., July 18, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (NYSE: AP) ("Ampco-Pittsburgh" or the "Corporation") today announced the preliminary results of its previously announced offer to exercise (the "Offer to Exercise") 0.4464 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, $1.00 par value per share ("Common Stock") at an exercise price of $1.7856 per Series A Warrant (or $4.00 per whole share of Common Stock). The Offer to Exercise expired at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on July 15, 2022.

Based on the preliminary count by Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., the depositary agent for the Offer to Exercise, approximately 73,001 Series A Warrants were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, representing approximately 0.66% of the outstanding Series A Warrants. Ampco-Pittsburgh raised $130,336.00 in gross proceeds from the cash exercise of such Series A Warrants before deducting information agent fees and other offering expenses.

The number of Series A Warrants tendered and not validly withdrawn are preliminary and are subject to verification by the depositary agent and the proper delivery of all Series A Warrants tendered. The depositary agent notified us that the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") underwent a systematic update on the expiration date of the Offer to Exercise, which we anticipate will report final exercises to the depositary agent once exercises of the Series A Warrants may be verified in the DTC system. The actual number of Series A Warrants properly tendered and not properly withdrawn will be announced promptly following the completion of the verification process.

Series A Warrants that were not tendered and exercised remain in effect at the previous exercise prices of $5.75 per share of Common Stock and $2.5668 per Series A Warrant, respectively.

The Offer to Exercise was made pursuant to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed by Ampco-Pittsburgh, on May 31, 2022 (the "Original Schedule TO") and amended on June 29, 2022 and July 18, 2022 (the "Schedule TO"). The complete terms of the Offer to Exercise were set forth in the Schedule TO and related exhibits filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Copies of the Schedule TO, the prospectus and other related materials are available on the SEC’s website, at www.sec.gov.

Jim Cramer, the well-known host of CNBC’s ‘Mad Money’ program, reminds us the ‘conventional wis

NEW YORK—The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday added Alibaba Group Holding to a list of Chinese companies at risk of being delisted from the U.S. exchanges if their auditors can’t be inspected before spring 2024. The move comes days after Alibaba said it would apply for a primary listing in Hong Kong, where it obtained a secondary listing in 2019. Securing a primary listing in the Asian financial hub would allow Alibaba’s shares to continue to be traded even if it is booted from the American bourse.

After dropping for the first 5 ½ months of the year, the S&P 500 has rebounded 8.5% since June 15 and 4.7% since July 26, the day before the Federal Reserve raised interest rates.

Never mind that the Fed said in its statement announcing the rate increase that it "anticipates that ongoing increases in the target range [for the federal funds rate] will be appropriate."

Quarterly payments are the most common, but for truly defensive investors, monthly payments offer some advantages. Chief among those is the rapid and regular
