O-I adjourns Annual Meeting of share owners

The Company previously announced that it intends to file restated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the "2015 Annual Report") to reflect the effects of its revised method for estimating its total asbestos-related liability. The Company currently expects to file the amended 2015 Annual Report on or prior to Monday, May 16, 2016. The Company is adjourning the annual meeting to allow share owners sufficient time to review the amended 2015 Annual Report.

Share owners of record may submit their votes for matters to be considered at the annual meeting until the polls are formally closed. Share owners who have already voted in accordance with the instructions contained in the proxy statement and related materials do not need to submit new proxy cards or give new voting instructions unless they wish to change their votes. Share owners who have not yet voted can still use the proxy cards and voting instruction forms previously provided to them. The Company's Board of Directors encourages all share owners to review the proxy statement and amended 2015 Annual Report carefully before voting.
