On May 14, 2008, Hawk Corporation will make a presentation to investors. The presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is also available at Hawk's website at www.hawkcorp.com . Pursuant to General Instruction B, subsection 2, of Form 8-K, Exhibit 99.1 is not "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, but is instead furnished as required by that section.
This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the Company's financial results and future operations and, as such, concerns matters that are not historical facts. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such statements. Reference is made to Hawk's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other periodic filings, for a description of the foregoing and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
