Equity [Abstract] |
Preferred and Common Stock | K. Preferred and Common Stock – In September 2014, Alcoa completed a public offering under its shelf registration statement for $1,250 of 25 million depositary shares, each of which represents a 1/10th interest in a share of Alcoa’s 5.375% Class B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Series 1, par value $1 per share, liquidation preference $500 per share (the “Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock”). The 25 million depositary shares are equivalent to 2.5 million shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. Each depositary share entitles the holder, through the depositary, to a proportional fractional interest in the rights and preferences of a share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, including conversion, dividend, liquidation, and voting rights, subject to terms of the deposit agreement. Alcoa received $1,213 in net proceeds from the public offering reflecting an underwriting discount. The net proceeds are intended to be used, together with the net proceeds of newly issued debt (see Note G), to finance the cash portion of a planned acquisition of an aerospace business (see Note E). The underwriting discount was recorded as a decrease to Additional capital on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is a series of Alcoa’s Class B Serial Preferred Stock, of which Alcoa is authorized to issue up to 10 million shares; prior to this transaction no such shares were issued or outstanding. Class B Serial Preferred Stock ranks senior to Alcoa’s common stock and junior to Alcoa’s Class A Preferred Stock and existing and future indebtedness. Dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock are cumulative in nature and will be paid at the rate of $26.8750 per annum per share, commencing January 1, 2015. Holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights. If the acquisition is not consummated on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on April 1, 2015 or if prior to this stated date and time, the share purchase agreement related to the acquisition is terminated or Alcoa determines in its reasonable judgment that the acquisition will not occur, Alcoa may elect to redeem the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price specified in the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. Under no other circumstances does Alcoa have the right to redeem the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. On the mandatory conversion date, October 1, 2017, all outstanding shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Alcoa’s common stock. Based on the Applicable Market Value (as defined in the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock) of Alcoa’s common stock on the mandatory conversion date, each share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be convertible into not more than 30.9406 shares of common stock and not less than 25.7838 shares of common stock, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments as described in the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. At any time prior to October 1, 2017, a holder may elect to convert shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part (but in no event less than one share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock), at the minimum conversion rate of 25.7838 shares of common stock, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments as described in the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. If Alcoa undergoes a fundamental change, as defined in the depositary shares, holders may elect to convert their Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part (but in no event less than one share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock), into shares of Alcoa’s common stock. The per share conversion rate under a fundamental change is not less than 25.2994 shares of common stock and not more than 30.9406 shares of common stock. Holders who elect to convert will also receive any accumulated and unpaid dividends and a Fundamental Change Dividend Make-whole Amount (as defined in the terms of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock) equal to the present value of all remaining dividend payments on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The underwriters of this public offering were granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,750,000 depositary shares (equivalent to 375,000 shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock) solely to cover overallotments, if any. As of September 30, 2014, the underwriters have not exercised this option in whole or in part (this option expired unexercised on October 16, 2014). In the first quarter of 2014, Alcoa issued 89 million shares of common stock (par value $1 per share) under the terms of Alcoa’s 5.25% Convertible Notes due March 15, 2014 (see Note G). Alcoa is authorized to issue up to 1.8 billion shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2014, there were 1,267,290,820 common shares issued and 1,177,672,033 common shares outstanding.
