Accuride Corporation Completes Re-pricing of Senior Credit Facilities

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – December 10, 2003 – Accuride Corporation today announced the completion of an amendment to its senior secured credit facility. The Company re-priced its new term loan B at LIBOR plus 525 bps, a reduction of 100 bps, and term loan C at LIBOR plus 325 bps, a reduction of 75 bps. In addition, the Company eliminated the LIBOR floor provision for the new term loan B. The reduced interest rates will save the Company approximately $4.0 million annually.
