casting business. Total charges are estimated to range from $70 to $75 million and reflect the reduction in estimated fair values of these assets. The charges will be reflected in discontinued operations in the fourth quarter and full year 2004
financial statements. The largest portion of the charge relates to Alcoa&#146;s exiting of the AFL telecommunications business. A copy of Alcoa&#146;s press release dated January 4, 2005 relating to the AFL transaction is attached hereto as Exhibit
99 and incorporated herein by reference. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
