Deregistration of Securities

Under an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement between Accuride Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its stockholders, dated January 31, 2005 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), certain of the holders of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), had the right to require the Company to register their shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission so that those shares may be publicly resold. The Company was contractually obligated pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for a period of not less than 180 days. Pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-141997) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2007, and subsequently amended on April 25, 2007 (the “Registration Statement”), the Company registered 12,447,194 shares of the Common Stock of the Company. The Registration Statement was declared effective on May 2, 2007.

The Company has satisfied its obligation to keep the Registration Statement effective for at least 180 days. Therefore, in accordance with the Company’s undertakings in Part II, Item 17(3) of the Registration Statement, this post-effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement is being filed for the purpose of deregistering all shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and not otherwise sold thereunder. As of October 21, 2008, 3,809,152 shares of Common Stock remained unsold under the Registration Statement.
