Item 8.01                                           Other Events

 

Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, permits corporate officers and directors to adopt written pre-arranged stock trading plans when they are not in possession of material, non-public information or subject to company imposed blackout periods.  Certain executive officers of Accuride Corporation (“Accuride”), have entered into individual written sales plans complying with Rule 10b5-1(c) for trading securities of Accuride.  Under such plans, third party brokers may sell specified amounts of Accuride securities during a specified period and in accordance with set prices and other terms specified by each officer.  Each of the individual sales plans expire upon sale of all the securities covered by the sales plans or a specified date, subject to such officer’s right to modify their individual sales plans upon notice to the third party broker during specified periods.

 

Any transactions executed under the plans will be reported publicly through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Form 4 filings will also be posted in the investor relations section of the Accuride web site.
