Arconic Inc. (NYSE: ARNC) (the “Company”) announced today that
shareholders have approved, at a special meeting held earlier today, the
Company’s reincorporation from Pennsylvania to Delaware.
In order to effect the reincorporation, Arconic shareholders approved
the merger of the Company with a newly formed subsidiary, incorporated
in Delaware, which will be the surviving corporation and retain the
Arconic Inc. name following the reincorporation. Shareholders also
approved, on an advisory basis, the annual election of the full Arconic
Board of Directors following the reincorporation and that the Company’s
post-reincorporation certificate of incorporation will not contain any
supermajority voting requirements.
Arconic currently expects the reincorporation merger to be effective on
or about December 31, 2017.
Additional information about the reincorporation can be found in
Arconic’s definitive proxy statement, filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 16, 2017, available free of charge

breaches; (g) any manufacturing difficulties or other issues that impact
