8 Things You Should Know About Arconic
1 ARCONIC HAS A NEW, HIGHLY INDEPENDENT BOARD If you vote the WHITE proxy card and Arconic’s slate is elected, 9 of 13 directors will have joined in the past 16 months, making it one of the shortest tenured Boards in the S&P 500.
2 THREE CURRENT DIRECTORS WERE RECOMMENDED BY ELLIOTT These three directors, who joined the Board last year, join the rest of the Board in unanimously supporting the current Arconic strategy, and urge you to vote the WHITE proxy card.
3 WE OFFERED ELLIOTT TWO ADDITIONAL SEATS ON THE BOARD IN AN EFFORT TO END THE PROXY CONTEST Their nominees refused. Is it because they didn’t have Elliott’s permission, showing these Board nominees have more allegiance to a hedge fund than to serving all shareholders?
4 ARCONIC’S SLATE HAS ~160 COMBINED YEARS OF AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE EXPERIENCE The Arconic Board has carefully selected highly quali?ed nominees that have the necessary skills and experience to help select our next CEO and drive our winning strategy.
5 ARCONIC NEEDS A BOARD THAT ANSWERS TO ALL SHAREHOLDERS Elliott wants to choose 7 of our 13 directors and our CEO, even though they only own a 13% stake in Arconic. Is that fair to you and our other shareholders?
6 ARCONIC NEEDS A CEO THAT ANSWERS TO THE BOARD AND ALL SHAREHOLDERS Elliott is promoting a CEO candidate who is on their payroll and is accused of violating an agreement with his previous employer.
7 KEY CUSTOMERS SUPPORT US; NONE SUPPORT ELLIOTT Boeing, Airbus, UTC and GE have all expressed support for our strategy and management. Elliott’s proposals would put key customer relationships that will deliver superior, sustainable shareholder value at risk.
8 PRINCIPLES MATTER Elliott is an activist hedge fund that has used a personal and destructive campaign to win at any cost. Your investment deserves to be in better hands.

To Our Customers, We are Mission Critical
“Elliott has shown no long-term commitment to ownership in Arconic. It is simply seeking to engineer a short-term price increase at the long-term expense of the company, its other shareholders and its employees.”
The United Steelworkers (USW), May 3, 2017

Forward–Looking StatementsThis communication contains statements that relate to future events and expectations and as such constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include those containing such words as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “guidance,” “goal,” “intends,” “may,” “outlook,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “sees,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” “would,” or other words of similar meaning. All statements that reflect Arconic’s expectations, assumptions or projections about the future, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, forecasts relating to the growth of the aerospace, automotive, commercial transportation and other end markets; statements and guidance regarding future financial results or operating performance; statements about Arconic’s strategies, outlook, business and financial prospects; and statements regarding potential share gains. 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 Arconic 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) deterioration in global economic and financial market conditions generally; (b) unfavorable changes in the markets served by Arconic; (c) the inability to achieve the level of revenue growth, cash generation, cost savings, improvement in profitability and margins, fiscal discipline, or strengthening of competitiveness and operations anticipated from restructuring programs and productivity improvement, cash sustainability, technology advancements, and other initiatives; (d) changes in discount rates or investment returns on pension assets; (e) Arconic’s inability to realize expected benefits, in each case as planned and by targeted completion dates, from acquisitions, divestitures, facility closures, curtailments, expansions, or joint ventures; (f) the impact of cyber attacks and potential information technology or data security breaches; (g) political, economic, and regulatory risks in the countries in which Arconic operates or sells products; (h) the impact of the separation on the businesses of Arconic; (i) material adverse changes in aluminum industry conditions, including fluctuations in London Metal Exchange-based aluminum prices; (j) the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on costs and results; (k) the outcome of contingencies, including legal proceedings, government or regulatory investigations, and environmental remediation; and (l) the other risk factors discussed in Arconic’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Arconic 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. Market projections are subject to the risks discussed above and other risks in the market.
Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresSome of the information included in this communication is derived from Arconic’s consolidated financial information but is not presented in Arconic’s financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement our GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the GAAP measure. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and management’s rationale for the use of the non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the schedules to this communication. Arconic has not provided a reconciliation of any forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because Arconic is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts, and Arconic believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. In particular, reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the variability and complexity with respect to the charges and other components excluded from these non-GAAP measures, such as the effects of foreign currency movements, equity income, gains or losses on sales of assets, taxes and any future restructuring or impairment charges. These reconciling items are in addition to the inherent variability already included in the GAAP measures, which includes, but is not limited to, price/mix and volume.
Important Additional InformationArconic Inc. (“Arconic”) has filed a definitive proxy statement and form of associated WHITE proxy card with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies for Arconic’s 2017 Annual Meeting (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”). BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING DECISION, INVESTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY ARE URGED TO READ ALL RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH OR FURNISHED TO THE SEC, INCLUDING THE COMPANY’S DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT AND ANY SUPPLEMENTS THERETO AND ACCOMPANYING WHITE PROXY CARD, BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Investors and shareholders will be able to obtain a copy of any proxy statement and other documents filed by Arconic free of charge from the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov. Arconic’s shareholders will also be able to obtain, without charge, a copy of any proxy statement and other documents filed by Arconic by directing a request by mail to Arconic, Corporate Secretary’s Office, 390 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022-4608, by calling Arconic’s proxy solicitor, Innisfree M&A Incorporated, toll-free at 1-877-750-5836, or from Arconic’s website at www.arconic.com.
