Item 5.02(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On March 3, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) agreed to postpone consideration of the 2007 annual bonus payments for the executive officers of the Company (including the named executive officers), with the executive officers’ consent. As a result, the Committee will be able to take into account the outcome of the Company’s current labor negotiations with the UAW in determining the amount of the bonus, as well as the relevant performance considerations for 2007. It was also agreed that the Company would postpone consideration of the annual grant of long-term incentive awards and salary adjustments for this group for 2008.
