Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 30, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, A. M. Castle & Co.'s (the “Company”) offer to purchase for cash (the “Offer”) up to $16,906,000 of its 12.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 (the “Notes”) expired. U.S. Bank National Association, the tender agent for the Offer, advised the Company that none of the Notes were validly tendered prior to the expiration of the Offer.
The Offer was made as an excess cash flow offer as required by, and in accordance with, the terms of the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”). Under the terms of the Indenture, after the end of each fiscal year, the Company is required to make an offer to purchase outstanding Notes for an aggregate purchase price of up to the “excess cash flow offer amount” (as defined in the Indenture), which, in the case of the Offer, was $16,906,000. The purchase price in the Offer was equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Notes validly tendered (and not withdrawn), plus accrued and unpaid interest.
