Alcoa Inc. Board Approves Quarterly Dividends

September 29, 2016

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Alcoa Inc. (NYSE:AA) today
declared dividends on its $3.75 cumulative preferred stock (“Class A
Stock”) and on its common stock.

The dividend declared on the Class A Stock is 93.75 cents per share of
Class A Stock, payable January 1, 2017, to holders of record of the
Class A Stock at the close of business on December 9, 2016.

Earlier this year, Alcoa announced plans to undertake a reverse stock
split of Alcoa common stock at a ratio of 1 for 3 and a proportionate
reduction in the number of authorized shares of its common stock. Alcoa
will hold a special shareholder meeting on October 5, 2016 to seek
approval of this reverse stock split and authorized share count
reduction.

The Board has declared (a) a quarterly common stock dividend of 9 cents
per share, payable November 25, 2016, to holders of record of the common
stock at the close of business on November 4, 2016, if the reverse stock
split is approved or (b) a quarterly common stock dividend of 3 cents
per share, payable November 25, 2016, to holders of record of the common
stock at the close of business on November 4, 2016, if the reverse stock
split is not approved.

Alcoa Inc. also announced today that its Board has approved the
completion of the Company’s separation into two independent,
publicly-traded companies. The separation is scheduled to become
effective before the opening of the market on November 1, 2016. At the
time of separation, shareholders of Alcoa Inc. will retain their shares
of Alcoa Inc. Due to the name change of Alcoa Inc. to Arconic Inc. upon
separation, these shares will become Arconic Inc. shares.

Following the completion of the separation, the board of directors of
each company will review and determine the dividend policy of each
company.
