the Offer will be deemed to have deposited the Alcan Rights associated with such Alcan Common Shares. No additional payment will be made for the Alcan Rights, and no amount of the consideration to be paid by the Offerors will be allocated to the

to Purchase, Alcoa has not determined to form a Soliciting Dealer Group. However, a broker or nominee through whom a shareholder owns Alcan Common Shares may charge a fee to deposit Alcan Common Shares on behalf of the Alcan shareholder. Alcan
shareholders should contact their broker or dealer to determine whether any charges will apply. Alcan shareholders should also contact the Dealer Managers, the Depositary or a broker or dealer for assistance in accepting the Offer and in depositing

one of their respective affiliates would, directly or indirectly, acquire all of the remaining Alcan Common Shares. See the sections entitled &#147;Circular &#151; Purpose of the Offer; Plans for Alcan&#148; and &#147;Circular &#151; Acquisition of

Alcoa believes the transaction will create value for shareholders of both Alcoa and Alcan. From an Alcan shareholder perspective, as of the date of the announcement of the Offer, the Offer Consideration represents a premium of 29% and 32% over the
average trading price of Alcan Common Shares on the TSX and NYSE, respectively, for the 30 trading days ended May 4, 2007, and a 20% premium over the closing price of Alcan Common Shares on each of the TSX and the NYSE on May 4, 2007, the highest
ever closing trading price of Alcan Common Shares prior to the date of this Offer to Purchase. Based on the closing trading price of Alcoa Common Shares on May 4, 2007, the Offer Consideration has a value of $73.25 per Alcan Common Share (equivalent
to Cdn$81.03 per Alcan Common Share based on the May 4, 2007 Bank of Canada Noon Rate). From an Alcoa shareholder perspective, Alcoa expects that the acquisition of Alcan would be accretive to earnings per share of the combined company within the

annually once fully implemented in the third year following the closing of the transaction. Alcoa believes that significant synergies can be realized through operating and integration efficiencies, including but not limited to best practice sharing
in operating processes that will bring refineries and smelters with similar technology to &#147;world best in class.&#148; There are other significant opportunities as well, such as more effective procurement for a much larger organization. There is
also an opportunity to achieve reductions in, among other things, selling, general, administrative and plant costs and a reduction in overlapping regional and business unit headquarters. Both Alcoa and Alcan have successfully achieved their target

legacy in Canada dates back 108 years to 1899. In that year, Alcoa began constructing Canadian operations. In 1902, Alcoa began aluminum production in Qu&eacute;bec and chartered the Northern Aluminum Company, Limited, a predecessor company of
Alcan. Alcan, and most of Alcoa&#146;s other interests outside of the U.S., were spun off in 1928. Alcoa is committed to investment and sustainable development in Canada and, reflecting such commitment, reentered the production of aluminum in Canada
with its acquisitions of Reynolds and Alumax in the 1990&#146;s. Alcoa will further demonstrate this commitment by establishing dual head offices for the combined company in Montreal, Qu&eacute;bec, and New York, New York&#151;with strategic
management functions located in each city. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Alcoa views its combination with Alcan as a unique opportunity to create a

Financial Information&#148; and includes adjustments to earnings and fixed charges based on the historical amounts of Alcoa and the publicly-available information of Alcan as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2006. Certain elements of the calculation of the Pro Forma Combined Ratio as it relates to Alcan&#146;s historical amounts were estimated by Alcoa management due to the lack of publicly-available information, as further described
below. Specifically, the portion of Alcan&#146;s operating lease payments that represent interest expense was estimated to be one-third of the operating lease expense disclosed in Alcan&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2006. In addition, no amounts have been included for the following items, as they relate to Alcan, due to lack of any available information: (a)&nbsp;distributed income of less than 50%-owned persons; (b)&nbsp;amortization of
capitalized interest, including the Alcan&#146;s proportionate share of capitalized interest of 50%-owned persons; (c)&nbsp;Alcan&#146;s proportionate share of interest expense for 50%-owned persons; and (d)&nbsp;Alcan&#146;s proportionate share of

significantly different from the amounts assumed in the pro forma financial information. Any increase in the cash consideration could result in an increase in the amount of debt incurred to finance the transaction and a corresponding increase in
annual interest expense. See the section entitled &#147;Circular &#151; Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P></div></div> <p

information for Alcoa and Alcan separately on a historical basis, for Alcoa on an unaudited pro forma condensed combined basis and for Alcan on an unaudited pro forma combined equivalent per share basis. This information should be read in
conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements of Alcoa and Alcan and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in the Circular. The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes
only and is not necessarily indicative of the actual operating results or financial position that would have resulted if Alcoa and Alcan had combined at the beginning of the period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future operating
results or financial position of the combined company. The historical book value per share is computed by dividing the result of total shareholders&#146; equity minus preferred stock by the number of common shares outstanding at the end of the
period. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income from continuing operations per share is computed by dividing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income from continuing operations available to holders of common stock by the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined book value per share is computed by dividing the result of total unaudited pro forma condensed combined shareholders&#146;
equity minus preferred stock by the unaudited pro forma condensed combined number of common shares outstanding at the end of the period. Alcan unaudited pro forma combined equivalent per share amounts are calculated by multiplying Alcoa unaudited
pro forma condensed combined per share amounts by 0.4108. The historical per share information of Alcoa and Alcan was derived from Alcoa&#146;s and Alcan&#146;s respective historical annual financial statements. </FONT></P> <P

matters addressed in &#147;Forward Looking Statements,&#148; the Circular and the other documents incorporated by reference herein, before deciding whether to deposit their Alcan Common Shares in the Offer, Alcan shareholders should carefully
consider the following risks and uncertainties relating to the Offer, the anticipated subsequent acquisition transaction, the proposed combination of Alcoa and Alcan, and the receipt and ownership of Alcoa Common Shares as a result of such
transactions. In addition, Alcan shareholders should read and consider the risks associated with each of the businesses of Alcoa and Alcan because these risks will also affect the combined company. These risks can be found respectively in the Alcoa
and Alcan Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006, which are filed with the SEC, and, in the case of Alcan, also filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities, and incorporated by reference herein.

the date you receive Alcoa Common Shares in partial exchange for your Alcan Common Shares. If the market price of Alcoa Common Shares declines, the value of the consideration received by Alcan shareholders will decline as well. Variations may occur
as a result of changes in, or market perceptions of changes in, the business, operations or prospects of Alcoa, market assessments of the likelihood that the Offer will be consummated, regulatory considerations, general market and economic
conditions and other factors over which Alcoa has no control. You are urged to obtain current market quotations for Alcoa Common Shares and Alcan Common Shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

the Offer, following the completion of the Offer and prior to any subsequent acquisition transaction, it is possible that the Alcan Common Shares would fail to meet the criteria for continued listing on the TSX, NYSE, LSE, Euronext Paris, Euronext
Brussels and SWX. If this were to happen, the Alcan Common Shares could be delisted on one or more of these exchanges and this could, in turn, adversely affect the liquidity and market or result in a lack of an established market for the Alcan
Common Shares. The extent of the public market for the Alcan Common Shares and the availability of price or other quotations would depend upon the number of Alcan shareholders, the number of Alcan Common Shares publicly held and the aggregate market
value of the Alcan Common Shares remaining at such time, the interest in maintaining a market in Alcan Common Shares on the part of securities firms, whether Alcan remains subject to public reporting requirements in Canada and the U.S. and other

ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Offer is being made with the expectation that its successful completion and a subsequent combination with Alcan will result in increased earnings and cost savings for the combined company.
This expectation is based on presumed synergies from consolidation and enhanced growth opportunities of the combined company. These anticipated benefits will depend in part on whether Alcoa&#146;s and Alcan&#146;s operations can be integrated in an
efficient and effective manner, and whether the expected bases or sources of synergies in fact do produce the benefits anticipated. Most operational and strategic decisions, and certain staffing decisions, with respect to the combined company have
not yet been made and may not have been fully identified. These decisions and the integration of the two companies will present significant challenges to management, including the integration of systems and personnel of the two companies, and
special risks, including possible unanticipated liabilities, significant one-time write-offs or restructuring charges, difficulties in achieving an optimal tax structure, unanticipated costs, and the loss of key employees. While the Offerors believe
their expectations regarding the achievement of synergies and other benefits of the Offer are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the integration of the two companies&#146; operations, management and cultures will be timely or effectively
accomplished, or ultimately will be successful in increasing earnings and reducing costs. If Alcoa fails to realize the anticipated benefits of this acquisition, the market value of Alcoa Common Shares may be adversely affected. </FONT></P> <P

</I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The indebtedness of Alcoa as of December&nbsp;31, 2006 was approximately $7.2 billion. Alcoa&#146;s pro forma
indebtedness as of December&nbsp;31, 2006, after giving effect to the Offer and the subsequent acquisition transaction (as described in &#147;Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information&#148;), would be approximately $35.2 billion.
As a result of this expected increase in indebtedness, demands on the cash resources of Alcoa will increase after the completion of the Offer and the subsequent acquisition transaction with Alcan, which could have important effects on an investment
in Alcoa Common Shares. In addition, some portion or all of the interest expense may not result in a tax benefit to the combined company following the acquisition. As such, while this increased indebtedness will be supported by the combined cash
flows of Alcoa and Alcan, the increased levels of indebtedness could nonetheless, for a time, reduce funds available for investment in research and development and capital expenditures, and/or create competitive disadvantages compared to other
companies with lower debt levels. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I></I><B><I>Alcoa may not be able to reduce post-transaction indebtedness as expected</I></B><I>. </I></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Following completion of the acquisition of Alcan, the combined company will seek to reduce its total indebtedness. Among other things,
Alcoa expects that the combined company will explore selected asset dispositions. Such dispositions may not be consummated, or may not be consummated within the time periods anticipated, due to market conditions or the absence of interested
purchasers. In addition, the proceeds received in connection with any such dispositions which are consummated may be less than anticipated. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

Alcoa&#146;s indebtedness in connection with the completion of the Offer and the subsequent acquisition transaction, credit agencies may downgrade Alcoa&#146;s credit ratings. A downgrade of Alcoa&#146;s credit ratings could raise liquidity
concerns, reduce Alcoa&#146;s flexibility in accessing a broad array of funding sources and increase Alcoa&#146;s costs of borrowing. Any of these consequences could result in Alcoa&#146;s inability to secure new financing or affect Alcoa&#146;s
ability to make payments on outstanding debt instruments and comply with other existing obligations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the combined company&#146;s financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

be considered a business combination or going private transaction under applicable securities laws in Canada and the U.S. If the subsequent acquisition transaction is deemed to be a business combination or going private transaction, Alcoa intends to

combination of Alcoa and Alcan will create significant benefits and opportunities, in particular in upstream segments such as primary aluminum and alumina, that will allow the combined company to better compete in the increasingly competitive global
aluminum industry through a lowered cost structure, expected faster growth and enhanced financial and other resources. The combination is thus expected to enhance shareholder value and enable the combined company to better serve its customers. The
benefits of the combination include: </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Creation of a stronger, more diverse global company with the scale and the
cost-structure to be more efficient in the primary aluminum business, aluminum fabricating business, and related and diversified businesses </I></B>&#151; The combination of Alcoa and Alcan will create a larger global company with a lower cost
structure and better ability to compete with large consolidating competitors in Russia, China and elsewhere, as well as with large, diversified metals and mining companies with aluminum operations. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The combined company will have a larger capital base and, we expect, increased combined cash flow which will enable it to invest to meet
future significant increases in the demand for aluminum products throughout the world. By their nature, alumina refining, primary aluminum smelting and energy generation processes are capital intensive and also entail increasing risk. The combined
company will be better able both to deal with these risks and to compete for this increased demand with its formidable global competitors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition to increased cash flow, the combined company will have a lower cost structure which will contribute to its increased financial resources to fund the very substantial cost of innovative research and
development projects intended to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, to improve the efficiency of the smelting process, and to explore new and more efficient technologies to produce aluminum. The combination of the companies&#146; complementary
research and development efforts will ensure that a legacy of innovation will be enhanced in the future. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Alcoa and Alcan
are already partners today working well together in several existing and proposed projects. Our combined growth projects will allow the new company to compete effectively with the aggressive growth plans of other industry participants. The combined
company will have a complementary, global portfolio of businesses with substantial positions in refining and smelting supported by upstream integration into energy generation as well as downstream integration into aluminum-related products.

Disposed of in a Compulsory Acquisition</I>. Although there is no authority directly on point, a U.S. Holder that elects to demand payment of the fair value of its Alcan Common Shares disposed of in a Compulsory Acquisition will likely recognize
capital gain or loss at the time of the Compulsory Acquisition (even if the fair value of the Alcan Common Shares has not yet been judicially determined at such time), in an amount equal to the difference between (i)&nbsp;the amount realized by the
U.S. Holder and (ii)&nbsp;the U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the Alcan Common Shares. For this purpose, although there is no authority directly on point, the amount realized generally should equal the sum of the U.S. dollar equivalent
amounts, determined at the spot Canadian dollar/U.S. dollar rate, of the trading values for the Alcan Common Shares on the settlement date of the Compulsory Acquisition. In such event, capital gain or loss also may be recognized by the U.S. Holder
at the time the actual payment is received, to the extent that such payment exceeds, or is exceeded by, the amount previously realized. In addition, a portion of the actual payment received may instead be characterized as interest income, in which
case the U.S. dollar value of the Canadian dollar amount of such portion generally should be included in ordinary income in accordance with the U.S. Holder&#146;s method of accounting. U.S. Holders that elect to demand payment of the fair value of

disposes of Alcan Common Shares in an Alternative Subsequent Acquisition Transaction will depend upon the manner in which such transaction is carried out and may be substantially similar to, or materially different from, the considerations described

occurs. To the extent the distributions exceed Alcoa&#146;s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in its Alcoa Common
Shares, and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such Alcoa Common Shares. Eligible dividends received by a non-corporate U.S. Holder in taxable years beginning on or before December&nbsp;31, 2010, will be subject to U.S. federal income
tax at the special reduced rate generally applicable to long-term capital gain. A U.S. Holder generally will be eligible for this reduced rate only if the U.S. Holder has held Alcoa Common Shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day period
beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date. Corporate U.S. Holders generally will be entitled to claim the dividends received deduction with respect to dividends paid on Alcoa Common Shares, subject to applicable restrictions. </FONT></P> <P

Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet, Alcoa&#146;s cost to acquire Alcan has been allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management&#146;s preliminary estimate of their
respective fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The amounts allocated to acquired assets and liabilities assumed in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet are based on management&#146;s preliminary valuation estimates
using available public information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Definitive allocations (and the deferred tax impact of these adjustments) will be performed and finalized based upon certain valuations and other studies of,
but not limited to, inventories, intangible assets, properties, plants and equipment, pension liabilities, postretirement benefit obligations, and asset retirement obligations. These valuations and other studies will be performed by Alcoa with the

preliminary and is subject to revision based on a final determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the transaction. The amounts that will be recorded based on our final assessment and determination of fair
values may differ materially from the information presented in this Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information. Amounts allocated to net tangible and intangible assets may be revised and depreciation and amortization and useful
lives may differ from the assumptions we used in this Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information, any of which could result in a material change in depreciation and amortization expense (see the notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma

after the acquisition. See the sections entitled &#147;Circular &#151; About Alcoa Inc. &#151; Recent Developments&#148; and &#147;Circular &#151; Regulatory Matters.&#148; In addition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Information does not include the impact of any potential cost savings, one-time costs, or capital investments that may result from combining Alcoa and Alcan. Alcoa currently expects the combined operations with Alcan to generate synergies of
approximately $1 billion pre-tax annually once fully implemented in the third year following the closing of the transaction. Efficiencies are expected to come from all areas across the value chain, including product manufacturing and marketing,
global procurement, logistics, infrastructure and support areas, product research and development and asset utilization. Alcoa has not yet developed formal plans for combining the two companies&#146; operations. Accordingly, additional liabilities
may be incurred in connection with the business combination and any ultimate restructuring. These additional liabilities and costs have not been contemplated in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information because information
necessary to reasonably estimate such costs and to formulate detailed restructuring plans is not available to Alcoa. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

and (ii)&nbsp;identifiable intangible assets. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over an assumed weighted-average useful life of the assets of 12 years, based on the weighted-average useful asset life implicit in Alcan&#146;s
historical depreciation expense as presented in Alcan&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. Amortization of intangible assets is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated weighted-average
useful lives of the underlying assets of 17 years. The amount of purchase price allocated to tangible and intangible assets and the associated assumptions regarding useful lives represent preliminary estimates by Alcoa management and are subject to
change pending completion of a final valuation. The amount of purchase price allocated to tangible and intangible assets, as well as the associated useful lives, may increase or decrease and could materially affect the amount of pro forma
depreciation and amortization expense. Absent any revision to useful life assumptions, depreciation and amortization expense would change by $8 and $6, respectively, on an annual basis for every $100 of fair value assessment changes regarding
tangible and intangible assets, respectively. In other words, in the event the amount of fair value ascribed to Alcan&#146;s property, plant and equipment increases by $100 and the amount of fair value ascribed to intangible assets also increases by
$100, the pro forma adjustment to annual depreciation and amortization expense would increase by $14. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

conduct that is in breach of fiduciary duties of directors or that is contrary to the legal rights of a complainant will normally trigger the court&#146;s jurisdiction under the oppression remedy, the exercise of that jurisdiction does not depend on
a finding of a breach of such legal and equitable rights. Additionally, under the CBCA, a court may order a corporation or its subsidiaries to pay the complainant&#146;s interim costs, including legal fees and disbursements. Although the complainant
may be held accountable for the interim costs on final disposition of the complaint, it is not required to give security for costs in an oppression action. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

circumstances, persons who were or are directors, officers or employees of Alcoa or who served or serve other business entities at the request of Alcoa. Under these By-Law provisions, a person who is wholly successful in defending a claim will be
indemnified for any reasonable expenses. To the extent a person is not successful in defending a claim, reasonable expenses of the defense and any liability incurred are to be indemnified under these provisions only where independent legal counsel
or another disinterested person selected by the board of directors determines that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Alcoa, and in addition with respect
to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful. Any expense incurred with respect to any claim may be advanced by Alcoa if the recipient agrees to repay such amount if it is
ultimately determined that such recipient is not to be indemnified pursuant to Article V. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The foregoing By-Law provisions
generally parallel Sections 1741 and 1745 of the PBCL. Section&nbsp;1746 of the PBCL and the By-Laws both also provide that the indemnification provided for therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may otherwise be entitled. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Section&nbsp;1746 of the PBCL and the By-Laws provide for increased
indemnification protections for directors, officers and others. Indemnification may be provided by Pennsylvania corporations in any case except where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to
have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Section&nbsp;1713 of the PBCL also sets forth a framework whereby
Pennsylvania corporations, with the approval of the shareholders, may limit the personal liability of directors for monetary damages except where the act or omission giving rise to a claim constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or
recklessness. The section does not apply to a director&#146;s responsibility or liability under a criminal or tax statute and may not apply to liability under Federal statutes, such as the Federal securities laws. </FONT></P> <P

to directors under the PBCL as described in the preceding paragraph. Article VIII of the By-Laws provides that, except as prohibited by law, every director of Alcoa shall be entitled as of right to be indemnified by Alcoa for expenses and any and
all liability paid or incurred by such person by reason of such person being or having been a director of Alcoa. Expenses incurred with respect to any claim may be advanced by Alcoa, subject to certain exceptions. The shareholders have also approved
a form of indemnity agreement. Alcoa has entered into such an indemnity agreement with each of its current directors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

adjustments to earnings and fixed charges based on the historical amounts of Alcoa and the publicly-available information of Alcan as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain elements of the
calculation of the Pro Forma Combined ratio as it relates to Alcan&#146;s historical amounts were estimated by Alcoa&#146;s management due to the lack of publicly-available information, as further described below. Specifically, the portion of
Alcan&#146;s operating lease payments that represent interest expense was estimated to be one-third of the operating lease expense disclosed in Alcan&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. In addition, no amounts
have been included for the following items, as they relate to Alcan, due to lack of any available information (a) distributed income of less than 50%-owned persons; (b) amortization of capitalized interest, including Alcan&#146;s proportionate share
of capitalized interest of 50%-owned persons; (c) Alcan&#146;s proportionate share of interest expense for 50%-owned persons; and (d) Alcan&#146;s proportionate share of capitalized interest of 50%-owned persons. Had such information been available,
it might have had a material impact on the Pro Forma Combined ratio. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;page-break-before:always"></P> <P STYLE="font-size:12px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>
