Item 4.01 Change in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
a) Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. On February 27, 2009, upon recommendation and approval of the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of RTI International Metals, Inc.

Employee Savings and Investment Plan, the RMI Titanium Company Employee Savings and Investment Plan, and the RMI Titanium Company Bargaining Unit Employee Savings and Investment Plan (collectively, the "Plans"), dismissed Beard Miller Company LLP ("Beard Miller") as the Plans' independent registered public accounting firm. The reports of Beard Miller on the Plans' financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 did not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the recent fiscal years ending December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2007 and the subsequent period through February 27, 2009, there have been no
(i) disagreements with Beard Miller on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Beard Miller's satisfaction, would have caused Beard Miller to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports; or (ii) "reportable events" as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The Company has provided Beard Miller with a copy of the above disclosures and requested that Beard Miller furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statement. A copy of Beard Miller's letter, dated March, 2, 2009 is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
