Other Events.

On February 18, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ATI Inc. (the “Company”) authorized the additional repurchase of up to $500 million of its outstanding common stock, which the Company currently expects will support a multi-year share repurchase program in combination with the currently remaining $120 million from its prior authorization. Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur within the pricing and volume requirements of SEC Rule 10b-18. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and it may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time by the Board of Directors without prior notice. The Company issued a press release on February 19, 2026 regarding these matters, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
