(?ANHBV?), fully guaranteed on an unsecured basis by Alcoa (AA) and certain of its subsidiaries (the ?Any and All Offer?), and (ii) the early results of its previously announced offer to purchase for cash outstanding 6.125% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the ?Capped Notes? and, together with the Any and All Notes, the ?Notes?) issued by ANHBV, fully guaranteed on an unsecured basis by Alcoa (AA), up to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed US$250,000,000 (the ?Maximum Principal Amount?) (the ?Capped Offer? and, together with the Any and All Offer, the ?Offers?).

Information on the Offers

The Any and All Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 14, 2025 (the ?Any and All Expiration Date?). In order to be eligible to participate in the Any and All Offer, holders of Any and All Notes reflected in notices of guaranteed delivery received by ANHBV prior to the Any and All Expiration Date must deliver such Any and All Notes to ANHBV by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 18, 2025 (the ?Guaranteed Delivery Date?).

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, ANHBV expects that it will accept for purchase all of the Any and All Notes tendered on or prior to the Any and All Expiration Date, and all of the Any and All Notes delivered on or prior to the Guaranteed Delivery Date. The principal amount of Any and All Notes that will be purchased by ANHBV on the Any and All Settlement Date is subject to change based on deliveries of Any and All Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Purchase.

The Capped Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 31, 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated by ANHBV.

D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender agent and the information agent for the Offers (the ?Tender and Information Agent?), informed us that, as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 14, 2025 (such time and date, the ?Capped Early Tender Date?), US$281,258,000 in aggregate principal amount of Capped Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by holders of Capped Notes.

As set forth in the Offer to Purchase, ANHBV may, in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law, increase or decrease the Maximum Principal Amount. As the aggregate principal amount of Capped Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by holders of Capped Notes as of the Capped Early Tender Date exceeds the Maximum Principal Amount, ANHBV has increased the Maximum Principal Amount of Capped Notes that it will accept under the Capped Offer from the previously announced US$250,000,000 to US$281,258,000. The other terms of the Capped Offer remain unchanged.

All conditions described in the Offer to Purchase that had to be satisfied on or prior to the Any and All Expiration Date, including the Pricing Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), have been satisfied, and ANHBV has accepted for purchase all of the Any and All Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and expects to accept for purchase all of the Any and All Notes delivered on or prior to the Guaranteed Delivery Date pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Purchase. In addition, ANHBV has accepted for purchase all Capped Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Capped Early Tender Date.

Holders of Any and All Notes that have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their Any and All Notes at or prior to the Any and All Expiration Date will receive the Any and All Total Consideration on the Any and All Settlement Date, which date is expected to be on March 19, 2025.

Holders of Capped Notes that have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their Capped Notes at or prior to the Capped Early Tender Date will receive the Capped Early Consideration on the Capped Early Settlement Date, which date is expected to be on March 19, 2025.
