We are a foreign private issuer as defined in the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. Additionally, Nasdaq rules allow foreign private issuers to follow home country practices in lieu of certain of Nasdaqs corporate governance rules. As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading Risk Factors beginning on page 6 of the Prospectus, and under similar headings in any amendment or supplements to the Prospectus.

MEDIA RELEASE
July 28, 2022
Algoma Steel Announces Preliminary Results of Substantial Issuer Bid
SAULT STE. MARIE, Ontario, July 28, 2022 Algoma Steel Group Inc. (NASDAQ, TSX: ASTL) (Algoma or the Corporation) today announced the preliminary results of its substantial issuer bid (the Offer), which expired at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on July 27, 2022.
Based on the preliminary count by TSX Trust Company, the depositary for the Offer (the Depositary), a total of 60,600,233 common shares of Algoma (Shares) were properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, including 2,834,014 Shares that were tendered through notice of guaranteed delivery. In accordance with the terms of the Offer, Algoma has informed the Depositary that it is taking up Shares properly tendered to the Offer at the time of expiry, subject to proration (as described below). Based on the preliminary count by the Depositary, Algoma expects to take up and purchase for cancellation 41,025,641 Shares at a purchase price of US$9.75 per Share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately US$400 million. The Shares expected to be purchased under the Offer represent approximately 27.9% of the issued and outstanding Shares at the time that the Offer was commenced. Immediately following completion of the Offer, Algoma anticipates that 105,403,930 Shares will be issued and outstanding.
As the Offer was oversubscribed, shareholders who made auction tenders at a price of US$9.75 or less per Share and purchase price tenders are expected to have approximately 95.2% of their successfully tendered Shares purchased by Algoma (other than odd lot holders, whose Shares will be purchased on a priority basis). Shareholders who made auction tenders at a price in excess of US$9.75 per Share should not expect to have any of their Shares purchased by Algoma.
The number of Shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, the number of Shares expected to be purchased, the purchase price and the proration factor are all preliminary and subject to verification by the Depositary as well as the proper delivery of all Shares tendered (including Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures). The final number of Shares purchased, the final purchase price, and the estimated paid-up capital per Share and specified amount (each for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) will be announced following completion by the Depositary of the verification process and the guaranteed delivery period. Promptly after such announcement, payment for the Shares accepted for purchase will be made in accordance with the terms of the Offer, and the Depositary will return all other Shares tendered and not purchased.
