YORK, February&nbsp;7, 2017 </B>&#150; Arconic Inc. (NYSE: ARNC) noted today that Elliott Management (&#147;Elliott&#148;) has posted no fewer than five versions of its shareholder presentations &#150; each with significantly restated calculations,
industry data sources and valuation analyses &#150; during the first week of Elliott&#146;s campaign to change management at Arconic. Only two of these presentations have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Arconic believes that the rapid succession of revised analyses calls into question Elliott&#146;s grasp of Arconic&#146;s business and industry, and whether
Elliott truly understood Arconic and its opportunities prior to launching its proxy fight. Among its many adjustments, Elliott has lowered by 33 percent the top end of its potential earnings upside, reduced its projected share value upside, and
reduced by 67 percent the magnitude of its projected share price appreciation from potential cost savings in the Company&#146;s Global Rolled Products (GRP) business. As Elliott&#146;s financial analysis has been revised, it has also changed the
sources and representations of its data. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company issued the following statement: </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Arconic&#146;s Board and management team are committed to protecting and advancing the long-term interests of all of Arconic&#146;s
shareholders based on sound analysis. The Company believes that Elliott&#146;s shifting numbers, data sources and valuations require thoughtful shareholder scrutiny. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company intends to provide further information on Elliott&#146;s other misleading assertions in the near future. </P>
