On September 19, 2007, A. M. Castle & Co., Inc. (the “Registrant”) appointed Patrick R. Anderson, 35, as the Registrant’s Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer.
Prior to joining the Registrant, Mr. Anderson was employed by Deloitte & Touche, LLP (“Deloitte”), as a Senior Manager. Mr. Anderson had been employed by Deloitte since 1994. Deloitte is currently the Registrant’s Independent Auditor; however, Mr. Anderson did not serve as a member of the Registrant’s audit engagement team during his employment at Deloitte.
