Arconic Monetizes Majority of Stake in Alcoa Corporation

February 15, 2017

Arconic Inc. (NYSE:ARNC) today announced that it has monetized more than
60 percent of the 36,311,767 shares it retained in Alcoa Corporation.
The sale of 23,353,000 Alcoa Corporation shares will result in
approximately $890 million in proceeds.

The proceeds bolster the Company’s cash balance, which provides
financial flexibility to pay down debt and/or pursue share repurchases,
based on a relative-return assessment. The timing and structure of the
transaction considered minimizing risk and transaction costs.

Arconic has carryforward tax attributes in the U.S. that are available
to offset U.S. taxable income and will utilize existing tax attributes
to the extent possible.

At the separation of Alcoa Inc., Arconic chose to retain a 19.9 percent
stake in Alcoa Corporation. The Company indicated it would review
options for responsibly managing the stake, taking into account its
continued upside potential.
