This Form 8-K/A is filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by SIFCO Industries, Inc. on May 19, 2016. This 8-K/A is being filed to correct the date on which SIFCO Industries, Inc. received notice from the plan administrator of the SIFCO Industries, Inc. Employees' 401(K) Plan from May 4, 2016 to May 19, 2016. The revised text of the Current Report is included in full below.

On May 19, 2016, SIFCO Industries, Inc. ("SIFCO" or the "Company") received a notice from the plan administrator of the SIFCO Industries, Inc. Employees' 401(K) Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Section 101(i)(2)(E) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 regarding a blackout period (the "Blackout Period") under the Plan. The Blackout Period is required because the Plan is making certain administrative changes, including changing the trustee and the custodian of the Plan.

In connection with the foregoing, on May 19, 2016, the Company sent a Notice (the "Notice") to the directors and executive officers pursuant to Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 104 of Regulation BTR. As described more fully in the Notice, the Blackout Period is expected to begin on June 23, 2016 at 4:00 p.m. EST and expected to end during the week of July 18, 2016. During the blackout period and for a period of two years after the ending date of the blackout period, shareholders or other interested parties may obtain, without charge, information about the actual beginning and ending dates of the blackout period by contacting the Corporate Human Resource Director by telephone at 216-881-8600 or by mail to SIFCO Industries, Inc., Attn: Corporate Human Resource Director, 970 E. 64th St., Cleveland, Ohio 44113.

During the Blackout Period, Plan participants will be unable to engage in transactions involving the assets held in their Plan accounts, including changes to contribution rates, directing or diversifying investments (including SIFCO common stock), or obtaining a Plan loan, withdrawal, or distribution.

A copy of the Notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference.

RE:	Notice of Blackout Period

As a director or executive officer of SIFCO Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), you are subject to restrictions under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Regulation BTR that prohibit certain transactions in Company securities during pension plan blackout periods.

Effective July 5, 2016, the SIFCO Industries, Inc. Employees' 401(K) Plan (the “Plan”) will be changing providers. As a result of this change, there will be a “blackout period” imposed on participants in the Plan. During the blackout period, participants will be unable to engage in transactions involving the assets held in their Plan accounts, including changes to contribution rates, directing or diversifying investments (including SIFCO common stock), or obtaining a Plan loan, withdrawal, or distribution.

The blackout period is expected to begin at 4:00 p.m. EST on June 23, 2016 and is scheduled to end the week of July 18, 2016. During this period, you can determine whether the blackout period has ended by contacting the Corporate Human Resource Director by telephone at 216-881-8600.

During the blackout period, you are not permitted, directly or indirectly, to purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or transfer any equity security of the Company, if you would acquire or previously acquired such equity security in connection with service or employment as a director or executive officer of the Company. This restriction is in addition to the restrictions under the Company’s Insider Trading Policy.

If you have any questions regarding the blackout period, please contact the Corporate Human Resource Director at 216-881-8600; 970 E. 64th St., Cleveland, Ohio 44113.
