ALL THREE LEADING PROXY ADVISORY FIRMS - ISS, GLASS, LEWIS and EGAN- JONES - RECOMMEND THAT SUPERIOR INDUSTRIES SHAREHOLDERS

VOTE THE WHITE PROXY CARD FOR SUPERIOR'S DIRECTOR NOMINEES VAN NUYS, CALIFORNIA - August 6, 2014 - Superior Industries International, Inc. (NYSE:SUP), the largest manufacturer of aluminum wheels for passenger cars and light-duty vehicles in North America, today announced that the three leading independent proxy advisory firms-ISS Proxy Advisory Services, Glass, Lewis & Co., and Egan-Jones-each have recommended that Superior shareholders vote the WHITEproxy card FORall four of

Superior's director nominees at the Company's 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, to be held on August 15, 2014.

On August 4, 2014, Egan-Jones joined ISS and Glass, Lewis, recommending Superior shareholders vote the WHITEproxy card FORall Superior nominees - Paul J. Humphries, James S. McElya, Donald J. Stebbins and Francisco S. Uranga. Egan-Jones based its recommendation on the following factors:

its "belief that the Company has instituted significant, very promising changes, in particular its extremely recent appointment of new, highly qualified CEO Don Stebbins, as well as declassification of its Board, the addition of three new directors within the past three years, and the separation of the roles of CEO and Chairman. We strongly believe that Mr. Stebbins and the Board should be permitted to execute their current plans;"

its "belief that the dissidents have failed to make a persuasive case that their joining the

Board would work toward maximizing shareholder value;" and
its concern that the election of the dissidents' slate to the Board of Directors would not work to the benefit of all shareholders.

Commenting on now receiving the recommendation of all three leading independent proxy advisory firms that shareholders vote on the WHITEproxy card FOR the Board's experienced and highly qualified nominees, Superior issued the following statement: "We are very pleased that all three of the leading independent, third-party proxy advisory firms, have carefully reviewed the voting alternatives and recommended that shareholders vote for all four of Superior's director nominees. As we have stated consistently, we believe there are very real and stark differences between the Superior Board's nominees-who have the integrity, knowledge, breadth of experience and commitment necessary to navigate Superior through the highly competitive global business environment and create long-term shareholder value-and GAMCO's nominees, who have no experience whatsoever working in the automotive industry."

Superior shareholders are reminded that their vote is extremely important, no matter how many or how few shares they own. The Company urges shareholders to vote for all four of its highly qualified and experienced director-nominees - Paul J. Humphries, James S. McElya, Donald J. Stebbins and Francisco S. Uranga - on the WHITEproxy card today.

Shareholders may vote by returning the WHITEproxy card or by phone or Internet by following the instructions on the WHITEproxy card they have received. Shareholders are urged to discard any blue proxy card or voting instruction card they may have received from GAMCO Asset Management, Inc. Even a WITHHOLD vote with respect to GAMCO's nominees on its blue proxy card will cancel any proxy previously given to Superior. If a shareholder previously


signed a blue proxy card sent by GAMCO, that proxy card can be revoked by voting a new WHITEproxy card for the Board's recommended nominees. Only the latest-dated proxy will count.

TIME IS SHORT!

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT!

Remember, you can vote your shares by telephone or via the Internet. Please follow the easy instructions on the enclosed WHITE proxy card.
