Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement


Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Issuance of Senior Notes
On June 1, 2009, Allegheny Technologies Incorporated (the "Company") completed its offering and sale of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 9.375% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Senior Notes"). The offering and sale of the Senior Notes was made pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated June 1, 2009 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated June 1, 2009 (the "Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture"), between the Company and the Trustee.
The Senior Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 9.375% per annum and be payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on each June 1 and December 1, commencing December 1, 2009. The Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2019. The Company may redeem the Senior Notes at any time and from time to time prior to maturity, in whole or in part, by paying a "make-whole" premium. If the Company undergoes a change of control repurchase event, holders may request that the Company repurchase the Senior Notes in whole or in part for cash at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
If an event of default with respect to the Senior Notes occurs, the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest may be declared immediately due and payable, subject to certain conditions. These amounts automatically become due and payable in the case of certain types of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events of default involving the Company.
The foregoing is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Indenture, as supplemented by the Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture, and is not a complete discussion. Accordingly, the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture and the Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture attached to this Current Report as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference. A form of Senior Note is included in Exhibit 4.2.
On June 1, 2009, the Company announced the completion of its offering of Senior Notes by means of a press release that is set forth in its entirety in and filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

an over-allotment option which was exercised in full. The offering and sale of the Convertible Notes was made pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement filed with the SEC.
The Convertible Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, as further supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated June 2, 2009 (the "Convertible Notes Supplemental Indenture"), between the Company and the Trustee.

Holders of Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date for the Convertible Notes. The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes will be 23.9263 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $41.795 per share of the Company's common stock. The conversion rate and the conversion price may be adjusted under certain circumstances.
If an event of default with respect to the Convertible Notes occurs, the principal amount of the Convertible Notes, plus premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest may be declared immediately due and payable, subject to certain conditions. These amounts automatically become due and payable in the case of certain types of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events of default involving the Company.
