Item 8.01	Other Events.	
On June 30, 2014, TimkenSteel Corporation (“TimkenSteel” or the “Company”) became an independent company as a result of the distribution by The Timken Company (“Timken”) of 100 percent of the outstanding common shares of TimkenSteel to Timken shareholders. We anticipate holding our first Annual Meeting of Shareholders as an independent company in 2015 (the "2015 Annual Meeting") on Wednesday, May 6, 2015, with a location and time to be determined. Because the 2015 Annual Meeting date represents our first Annual Meeting, pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we have set a deadline for the receipt of any shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2015 Annual Meeting. In order to be considered timely, such shareholder proposals must be received by us on or before December 19, 2014, which we believe is a reasonable time before we begin to print and distribute our proxy materials.
A shareholder intending to submit a proposal outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 or to nominate persons for election to serve as a director of the Company, in each case in connection with the 2015 Annual Meeting, must provide written notice of such proposal or nomination in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Company’s Code of Regulations. To be considered timely, any such notice must be received by the Secretary of the Company not later than February 5, 2015. This deadline also will apply in determining whether notice is timely for purposes of exercising discretionary voting authority with respect to proxies for purposes of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act.
All shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, and all notices of other items of business or director nominations to be brought before the Annual Meeting, must be directed to the Secretary, TimkenSteel Corporation, 1835 Dueber Ave. S.W., Canton, Ohio 44706. We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal or director nomination that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.
