Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Statement, as amended.

Item 2. Identity and Background

     Item 2 is hereby supplemented and amended by adding the following to the end thereof:

     By reason of Masco entering into the amended Stock Purchase Agreement (as defined and described in Amendment No. 11 to this Statement), which is incorporated herein by reference:

  a. Masco;
 
  b. Credit Suisse First Boston Fund Investments VI Holdings, LLC (“CSFB Fund VI”), Credit Suisse First Boston Fund Investments VI-B (Bermuda), L.P. (“CSFB Fund VI-B”, together with CSFB Fund VI, the “CSFB Funds”);
 
  c.  Merchant Capital, Inc. (“Merchant Capital”);
 
  d. Credit Suisse First Boston Equity Partners (Bermuda), L.P. (“CSFBEP Bermuda”), Credit Suisse First Boston Equity Partners, L.P. (“CSFBEP”), Credit Suisse First Boston U.S. Executive Advisors, L.P., (“CSUSEA”), EMA Partners Fund 2000, L.P., (“EMA Partners”) and EMA Private Equity Fund 2000, L.P.

  o. Certain of the other Principal Company Stockholders (as defined in Amendment No. 11);

may be deemed to be members of a “group” for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, Masco may be deemed to be a member of a “group” and although Masco does not affirm that such a “group” has been formed, this disclosure is being made to ensure compliance with the Exchange Act and Masco may be deemed to be “beneficial owner” of all of the shares of Common Stock owned and held by each of the above named entities. Additionally, the signing of the amended Stock Purchase Agreement by the CSFB Funds, Merchant Capital, CS Funds, Reporting Heartland Entities, Reporting Manoogian Persons, Wachovia, Reporting Bank of America Entities, MetLife, EAIT, Reporting Allianz Entities, Reporting Long Point Entities, Reporting Graham Partners Entities, CRM and certain of the other Principal Company Stockholders (as defined in Amendment No. 11), (collectively the “Other Entities”) may cause such entities to be deemed part of the “group” along with Masco. However, each of such Other Entities may file their own Schedule 13D separately and apart from Masco. Collectively the above referenced entities represent, in the aggregate, the beneficial owners of 36,017,697 shares of Common Stock, such figure representing 97% of the shares of Common Stock. Masco expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock held by any other person or entity other than, to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein, the various accounts under Masco’s management and control.

Item 5. Interest in Securities in Metaldyne Corporation

     Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

     (a)-(c) At the close of business on December 21, 2006, Masco beneficially owns (and has sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of) 2,492,248 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 5.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Metaldyne.

     The foregoing percentage is based on 42,795,963 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as reported in the Information Statement/Proxy Statement filed by Metaldyne on November 29, 2006. The foregoing percentages are subject to increase based on holders of outstanding restricted stock of Metaldyne electing to receive cash in lieu of restricted stock in accordance with the restricted stock incentive plans.

     By reason of Masco entering into the amended Stock Purchase Agreement with the Other Entities, they may be deemed to be members of a “group” for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Although Masco does not affirm that such a “group” has been formed, this disclosure is being made to ensure compliance with the Exchange Act and Masco may be deemed to be “beneficial owner” of all of the shares of Common Stock owned and held as follows: Credit Suisse First Boston Equity Partners, L.P. – 7,402,831 shares of Common Stock; Credit Suisse First Boston Equity Partners (Bermuda), L.P. – 2,697,282 shares of Common Stock; Credit Suisse First Boston U.S. Executive Advisors, L.P. – 6,610 shares of Common Stock; EMA Partners Fund 2000, L.P. – 533,168 shares of Common Stock; EMA Private Equity Fund 2000, L.P. – 343,139 shares of Common Stock; Credit Suisse First Boston Fund Investments VI Holdings, LLC – 143,272 shares of Common Stock; Credit Suisse First Boston Fund Investments VI-B (Bermuda), L.P. – 34,243 shares of Common Stock; Merchant Capital, Inc. – 177,515 shares of Common Stock; Heartland Industrial Associates L.L.C. – 21,425,931 shares of Common Stock; Heartland Industrial Partners, L.P. – 19,922,184 shares of Common Stock; HIP Side-by-Side Partners, L.P. – 1,211,173 shares of Common Stock; Metaldyne Investment Fund I, LLC – 19,922,184 shares of Common Stock; Metaldyne Investment Fund II, LLC – 292,574 shares of Common Stock; Heartland Industrial Partners (FF), L.P. – 244,920 shares of Common Stock; Heartland Industrial Partners (C1), L.P. – 47,654 shares of Common Stock; Richard and Jane Manoogian Foundation – 661,260 shares of Common Stock; Richard A.

In the aggregate, the aforementioned entities comprise the beneficial owners of 36,017,697 shares of Common Stock, such figure representing 97% of the shares of Common Stock. The Other Entities may file their own Schedule 13D separately and apart from Masco. Masco expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock held by any other person or entity other than, to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein, the various accounts under Masco’s management and control.

     Neither the filing of this amendment nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by Masco that it is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock other than those which Masco acquired in its own capacity, or received by way of dividends.
