Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 31, 2022, Worthington Specialty Processing ("WSP"), a consolidated joint venture of which a subsidiary of Worthington Industries, Inc. (the "Registrant") owns a controlling interest, sold its remaining steel processing facility, located in Jackson, Michigan, and certain associated assets to an affiliate of Marubeni-Itochu Steel America Inc. for net cash proceeds of approximately $21.3 million. The divestiture will result in a pre-tax gain of approximately $4.0 million within "restructuring and other income, net" during the Registrant's second fiscal quarter ending November 30, 2022, of which approximately $2.0 million will be attributed to the non-controlling interest in WSP. WSP no longer operates any steel processing facilities.
