Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
 
Metaldyne Corporation (the “Company”) announced on July 14, 2006 that it is seeking to refinance the approximately $200 million revolving portion of its existing approximately $575 million senior secured credit facilities to extend maturities and make certain other technical changes.
 
The refinancing being sought contemplates splitting the existing revolving facility into two tranches that would be approximately $200 million in the aggregate, though the specific amounts of each tranche have not yet been determined. The first tranche would be a revolving facility having terms substantially similar to the Company’s existing revolving facility and the other would be a synthetic revolving and letter of credit facility. The revolving facility and the synthetic facility will mature five years following the closing date, provided that if prior to October 1, 2009 the Company’s existing term loan facility is not refinanced or the maturity thereof is not extended beyond December 31, 2009, then the revolving facility and the synthetic facility will mature on December 31, 2009. No assurance can be given that the refinancing will be completed on these terms or at all.
