Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On July 28, 2021, the Board of Directors of Haynes International, Inc. (the "Company") authorized the use of up to $20.0 million of available cash to purchase shares of the Company's common for a period of one year. The Board adopted the repurchase plan because it believes that repurchasing the Company’s stock at current market prices presents an attractive capital allocation strategy for the Company given the available options for the use of capital. The share repurchase plan may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time, and the Company has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under the plan. The Company intends to make all repurchases and to administer the plan in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory guidelines, including Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
