Board Committee Structure

The Board of Directors has three standing committees: (i) an Audit Committee (in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), (ii) a Compensation Committee and (iii) a Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

The Audit Committee is currently composed of four members, D. Hickton, D. Campion, A. Masse, and B. Shelton, all of whom are independent under the definitions and interpretations of NASDAQ. According to the Audit Committee Charter, adopted by the Board of Directors and available in the investor relations section of our website at www.haynesintl.com, the Audit Committee is primarily responsible for:

• Appointment, retention, termination and oversight, including the approval of compensation, of the Company's independent auditors

Shelton, all of whom are independent under the definitions and interpretations of NASDAQ.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, which we sometimes refer to as the Governance Committee, is currently composed of four members, R. Getz, D. Hickton, L. Spencer, and A.

According to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee Charter, adopted by the Board of Directors and available in the investor relations section of our website at www.haynesintl.com, the Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing the performance and composition of the Board of Directors to ensure effective governance. The Governance Committee identifies and recommends the nomination of qualified directors to the Board of Directors as well as develops and recommends governance principles for the Company.
