Item 8.01		Other Events.

RTI International Metals Inc. expects to record a non-cash charge of approximately $1.6 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2010, related to the new health care legislation enacted this month.

The charge relates to the impact of the new legislation on prescription-drug benefits for the Company’s retirees. Companies that provide these benefits receive a federal subsidy (Medicare Part D Subsidy), plus they can deduct the value of this subsidy from their taxable income. The health care overhaul eliminates the tax deduction associated with this subsidy.
