Steel Dynamics, Inc. filed this Form 8-K on April 3, 2024 to report under Item 8.01 (Other Events) that it issued a press release on April 1, 2024 titled "Steel Dynamics Announces Leadership Appointments."

He will continue to report to Barry Schneider, President and Chief Operating Officer.
Chad Bickford will assume responsibility for the Steel Fabrication Group (New Millennium Building Systems), comprised of seven steel joist and deck manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Mexico, as Vice President, reporting to Mr. Schneider.
