EXPLANATORY NOTE

A. M. Castle & Co. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 11, 2013 (the “Original Filing”), solely for the purpose of correcting a typographical error in Exhibit 23.2, Consent of Grant Thornton LLP (the “Consent”). The Consent in the Original Filing incorrectly identified the date of Grant Thornton LLP's audit report as February 20, 2013. The correct date of the audit report included in the Original Filing is February 18, 2013, and a new consent with the correct date is filed herewith as Exhibit 23.2.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment also includes, as exhibits, new certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Except as described above, no other changes are being made to the Company's Original Filing. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the Original Filing and does not modify, update or change the disclosures contained in the Original Filing in any way other than as described in this Explanatory Note. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company's filings made with the SEC subsequent to the date of such Original Filing.
