Carothers has retired from his position as Chief Executive Officer of Union Electric Steel Corporation (“UES”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation (the “Corporation”), effective as of April 30, 2016 (the “Retirement Date”). Mr. Carothers’ retirement concludes a remarkable career of more than 43 years of continuous service with UES, where he served as Chief Executive Officer since January 1998.

(e) In connection with Mr. Carothers’ retirement, Mr. Carothers and UES entered into a Retirement and Consulting Agreement, effective as of May 1, 2016 (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides for an initial term of thirteen (13) months ending on May 31, 2017.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Carothers will provide consulting services to UES, and UES will pay Mr. Carothers $250 per hour worked and reimburse Mr. Carothers for reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of his consulting services. In addition, all equity awards previously granted to Mr. Carothers will continue to vest during the term of the Agreement as if he had continued to be employed by UES. Mr. Carothers will remain eligible, on a prorated basis, for any short-term incentive award granted pursuant to UES’s short term incentive plan. Additionally, he will be permitted to use his leased company car during the term of the Agreement, and he has the right to purchase it. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Carothers has an obligation to not compete with UES or the Corporation.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
