The new CUSIP number for the Class A Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 00216W208 and the CUSIP number for ATI's publicly traded warrants will remain unchanged.

No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Where stockholders would otherwise be entitled to fractional shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by 50, such stockholders will automatically be entitled to an additional fraction of a share to round up to the next whole share of Class A Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in the Company's equity, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in stockholders owning an additional share due to the fractional shares, as described above.
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is acting as transfer and exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Registered stockholders who hold shares of Class A Common Stock are not required to take any action to receive post-reverse split shares. Stockholders owning shares via a broker, bank, trust or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, subject to such broker's particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
