<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Alcoa announced plans to undertake a reverse stock split of Alcoa&#146;s common stock at a ratio of 1 for 3 and a proportionate reduction in the number of
authorized shares of its common stock. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of Alcoa shares of common stock outstanding and is expected to increase the per share trading price of the common stock, which may improve liquidity and facilitate
its trading. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Alcoa will hold a special shareholder meeting on October&nbsp;5, 2016 to seek approval of the reverse stock split and authorized share count
reduction. Approval of both requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote. Alcoa has filed a preliminary proxy statement regarding the special meeting with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include those containing such words as &#147;anticipates,&#148; &#147;believes,&#148; &#147;could,&#148; &#147;estimates,&#148; &#147;expects,&#148;

limitation, statements about the reverse stock split, authorized share count reduction and special meeting. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances
that are difficult to predict. Although Alcoa believes that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained and it is possible that
actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to (a)&nbsp;the possibility that shareholder
approval for the reverse stock split and authorized share count reduction will not be obtained; and (b)&nbsp;the possibility that factors unrelated to the reverse stock split may impact the per share trading price of Alcoa&#146;s common stock; and
(c)&nbsp;the other risk factors discussed in Alcoa&#146;s Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2015, and other reports filed with the SEC. Alcoa disclaims any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether in
response to new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. </P>
