EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”), filed by Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (the “Registrant”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (No. 333-239446), originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 26, 2020 and declared effective by the SEC on August 13, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”), which registered subscription rights to purchase up to 12,800,795 units consisting of up to 5,714,285 shares of the Registrant’ common stock and Series A warrants to purchase up to 5,714,285 shares of the Registrant’s common stock at a subscription price of $1.5624 per unit.

In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the Registration Statement (the “Securities”) that have not been sold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby amends the Registration Statement by filing with the SEC this Post-Effective Amendment in order to deregister all such Securities registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold. The Securities are being removed from registration because the Securities are no longer being offered or sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. As a result of this deregistration and upon the effectiveness of this Post-Effective Amendment, no Securities will remain registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.
