(“Xerium” or the “Issuer”). Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Schedule 13D.

Xerium’s principal executive offices are located at 14101 Capital Boulevard, Youngsville, NC 27596.
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is supplemented as follows:
On September 25, 2017, the Sponsors distributed 781,735 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer to their respective limited partners. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Common Stock of the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time. The Reporting Persons intend to dispose of some or all the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through derivative transactions, through public offerings, through distributions to their partners or members (as applicable), or otherwise, depending on the course of action the Reporting Persons pursue, market conditions, and other factors. The Reporting Persons may also acquire additional securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through derivative transactions, or otherwise, depending on the course of action the Reporting Persons pursue, market conditions, and other factors. In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors, and shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions. Although the foregoing represents the range of activities presently contemplated by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Issuer, the possible activities of the Reporting Persons are subject to change at any time. Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
