Exhibit 99.1

Description of the Transaction



TIMET Finance Management Company ("TFMC") purchased these shares in the open

market. See the Additional Information filed as Exhibit 99.2 to

this statement for additional relationships that TFMC and the issuer

have to the persons joining in this filing.



Since TFMC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the issuer and pursuant

to Delaware law and Section 13(d)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

amended (the "Exchange Act"), the issuer treats the shares of its common stock

that TFMC holds as treasury stock.  Accordingly, there is no

beneficial ownership or reporting obligation under Section 16 of the Exchange

Act for purchases or holdings of the shares of the issuer's common stock by

TFMC.  As a result, this Form 4 is a voluntary report.  Each share

of the issuer's common stock purchased by TFMC reduces by one share

the outstanding shares of the issuer's common stock.
