Form 8-A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 5, 2014, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and any amendment or report filed for the purpose of further updating such

Item 5. |
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. |
None.
Item 6. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
The Registrant is governed by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, or DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person, including an officer or director, who was or is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed legal
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was or is an officer, director, employee or agent of such
corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in,
or not opposed to, the corporations best interest and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that such persons conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any person, including an officer or
director, who was or is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or contemplated action or suit by or in the right of such corporation, under the same conditions, except that such indemnification is limited to expenses
(including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person, and except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if such person is adjudged to be liable to such corporation. Where an officer or director of
a corporation is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify that person against the expenses (including
attorneys fees) which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
The Registrants
amended and restated bylaws will authorize the indemnification of its officers and directors, consistent with Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended. The Registrant intends to enter into indemnification agreements with
each of its directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, will require the Registrant to indemnify each director and executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification of expenses
such as attorneys fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of the Registrant, arising out of the persons
services as a director or executive officer.
Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, which enables a corporation in its
original certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for violations of the directors fiduciary duty, except (i) for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, which provides for liability of
directors for unlawful payments of dividends of unlawful stock purchase or redemptions or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant expects to maintain standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (i) to its directors and officers against loss
rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (ii) to the Registrant with respect to indemnification payments that it may make to such directors and officers. The proposed form of Underwriting Agreement to be
filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (Reg. No. 333-198316) provides for indemnification to the Registrants directors and officers by the underwriters against certain liabilities.

Power of Attorney (included on signature page to this Registration Statement). |
(a) |
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: |
|
(1) |
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement; |
|
(i) |
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
|
(ii) |
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement; and |
|
(iii) |
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
|
|
(a) |
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement. |
|
(2) |
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
(3) |
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(b) |
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(c) |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Royal Oak, State of Michigan, on December 11, 2014.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Metaldyne
Performance Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Companys Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
Registration Statement), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the registration of the offer, issuance and sale by the Company of up to 5,900,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the
2014 Plan Shares), which may be issued pursuant to the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2014 Plan), which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Registration Statement, up to 1,928,335 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per
share, of the Company (the HHI Shares), which may be issued pursuant to the assumed ASP HHI Holdings, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the HHI Plan), which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Registration Statement, up to 1,991,305 shares
of common stock par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the MD Shares), which may be issued pursuant to the assumed ASP MD Holdings, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the MD Plan), which is filed as Exhibit 4.3 to the Registration
Statement and up to 970,395 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Grede Shares and together with the 2014 Plan Shares, the HHI Shares and the MD Shares, the Shares), which may be issued pursuant to the
assumed ASP Grede Intermediate Holdings LLC Unit Option Plan (the Grede Plan and together with the 2014 Plan, the HHI Plan and the MD Plan, the Plans), which is filed as Exhibit 4.4 to the Registration Statement.
In so acting, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of (i) the Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company; (ii) the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company; (iii) the 2014 Plan; (iv) the HHI Plan; (v) the MD Plan; (vi) the Grede Plan; (vii) the Registration Statement; and (viii) such
corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives,
as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth.
In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies, and the
December 11, 2014

authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently
established, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company.
Based on the foregoing, and subject
to the qualifications stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and delivered upon the receipt of consideration constituting lawful consideration under Delaware law in accordance with the respective Plans, will be validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The opinions expressed herein are limited to the corporate laws of the State of Delaware and we express no opinion
as to the effect on the matters covered by this letter of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement and any reference to our firm in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,

Metaldyne Performance Group Inc.:
We consent to the use of our report dated August 22, 2014, except for the effects of the stock split as disclosed in Note 25, to which the date is
December 1, 2014, with respect to the consolidated balance sheets of Metaldyne Performance Group Inc. as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders
equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the period from October 6, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the related financial statement schedules, incorporated herein by reference. We did not audit the
financial statements and financial statement schedules of ASP HHI Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, which financial statements reflect total assets constituting 45% and 46% as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and net sales
constituting 45%, and 91% for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the period from October 6, 2012 through December 31, 2012, respectively, of the related consolidated totals. Those financial statements and financial statement
schedules were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for ASP HHI Holdings, Inc., is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
