On May 28, 2013, Minerals Technologies Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has elected Mr. John J. Carmola as a member of the Board, effective as of June 1, 2013. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

As a new member of the Board, Mr. Carmola will be entitled to the same compensation provided to each of the current non-employee members of the Board. This includes an annual retainer fee of $130,000, comprised of $55,000 paid in cash and $75,000 in phantom stock units which have the economic value of one share of the Company's common stock. Under the Company's Nonfunded Deferred Compensation and Unit Award Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Deferred Compensation Plan"), Mr. Carmola will have the right to defer his fee, which would then be credited to his account as phantom stock units. Mr. Carmola will also be eligible to receive additional phantom stock units awarded pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan.

In addition, the Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Carmola (the "Indemnification Agreement") the terms of which are consistent with those previously executed by each of the current members of the Board. The form of such Indemnification Agreement is more fully described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 8, 2009, which description is incorporated by reference herein. Such description does not purport to be complete, however, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Indemnification Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 8, 2009, and incorporated herein by reference.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Carmola and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Carmola was elected as a director. There are no current or proposed transactions in which the Company is a participant and for which disclosure is required with respect to Mr. Carmola under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
