Events after the balance sheet date<br />

On <strong>Fe</strong>bruary 18, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the<br />

LLC interests of KB <strong>Al</strong>loys, LLC (“KB”) from CHS Capital<br />

LLC for $24,305 in cash, $23,500 related to purchase price<br />

and $805 in additional costs and escrow. KB is the<br />

North American market leader in the production<br />

of aluminum master alloys and grain refiners. The<br />

combination of KB with AMG’s aluminum master alloys<br />

businesses establishes AMG as the world’s largest<br />

producer of master alloys for the aluminum industry. This<br />

acquisition expands AMG’s cost-effective product offering<br />

while assuring security of supply for customers.<br />

Appropriation of net profit<br />

Pursuant to section 26 of the Articles of Association, the<br />

Management Board shall, subject to the approval of the<br />

Supervisory Board, be authorized to reserve the profits<br />

in whole or in part. The General Meeting is authorized to<br />

distribute and/or reserve any remaining part of the profits.<br />

AMG’s dividend policy is to retain future earnings to<br />

finance the growth and development of its business. As a<br />

result, the Management Board, with the approval of the<br />

Supervisory Board, has resolved that no dividend will be<br />

paid in respect of 2010 and that the 2010 net profit will be<br />

added to the retained earnings.<br />
