NEW YORK–Alcoa Inc. (NYSE:AA) announced today the expiration and final results of
the Company’s tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of its 6.50%

As of 5:00 p.m., ET, on August 2, 2010, the expiration date for the Any
and All Tender Offer, the aggregate principal amount of 2011 Notes
tendered in the Any and All Tender Offer was $253,412,000, representing

outstanding. All of the 2011 Notes that were tendered have been accepted
for purchase by Alcoa, with settlement expected to occur today. The
holders of the 2011 Notes that were accepted for purchase will be
entitled to receive the tender offer consideration of $1,048.75 per
$1,000 principal amount of 2011 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest
from and including the last interest payment date up to, but not
including, the settlement date.

The Any and All Tender Offer was made upon and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated July 26, 2010 and

Maximum Tender Offer consists of tender offers by Alcoa to purchase up

tendered and accepted for purchase in the Any and All Tender Offer, the
Maximum Tender Amount is $484,234,165. Alcoa will apply the Maximum
Tender Amount first to purchase 2012 Notes and then, to the extent any
amount remains, Alcoa will apply the balance to purchase up to an
aggregate purchase price of the 2013 Notes equal to the lesser of (i)
the remaining Maximum Tender Amount and (ii) $50 million, in each case,
subject to proration as applicable.

Holders who have not already tendered the 2012 Notes and 2013 Notes may

23, 2010, the Maximum Tender Expiration Date, unless extended or earlier
terminated. Holders of 2012 Notes and 2013 Notes that are validly

2012 Notes and the 2013 Notes may be withdrawn at any time at or prior
to 5:00 p.m., ET, on August 6, 2010, but may not be withdrawn thereafter.
