SHERMAN OAKS, Calif.

Real Industry, Inc. (NASDAQ: RELY) (“Real Industry” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a sales agreement and filed a prospectus supplement, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell up to 1,700,000 shares of its common stock through an “at-the-market” offering program (“ATM Facility”). The shares will be offered through Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor Fitzgerald”) as sales agent. As of the date of this press release, the ATM Facility has not been utilized, and no shares have been sold under the ATM Facility.

The offering under the ATM Facility is commencing with Russell Investments’ reconstitution of its comprehensive set of U.S. and global equity indexes. Real Industry is set to join the Russell Global^®, Russell 3000^® and Russell Microcap^® Indexes at the conclusion of the Russell Indexes’ annual reconstitution, according to the preliminary list of additions posted on June 12, 2015. The final 2015 reconstitution of the Russell Indexes will take place after the market closes on June 26, 2015, and the final membership lists will be posted to the Russell Investments website, www.russell.com, on June 29, 2015.

Membership in the Russell Indexes remains in place for one year, and means automatic inclusion in the appropriate growth- and value-style indexes. Russell Investments determines membership for its equity indexes primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes.

Craig Bouchard, Real Industry’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “We are pleased to join the Russell Indexes. Our inclusion will bring Real Industry increased exposure to the investment community, as well as the potential to broaden our stockholder base. The transition of the Real Alloy acquisition has gone smoothly, and ahead of our original timeline. As a result, we have begun preparations to grow the Company again, including this new offering.”

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Facility, if any, for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, the funding of future acquisitions, investments in its existing business operations, and working capital. The Company will determine, at its sole discretion, the timing and number of shares to be sold under the ATM Facility. Cantor Fitzgerald will make any sales under the ATM Facility using its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices.
