Arconic Announces Expiration and Final Tender Results for Previously Announced Offers by Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC to Purchase Certain Outstanding Arconic Debt Securities

May 03, 2017

Arconic Inc.

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement shall have the meaning given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

On April 20, 2017 (the “Early Settlement Date”), the Purchasers purchased the principal amounts of Notes set forth in the table below. As of 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 2, 2017 (the extended “Early Tender Date” with respect to the 2018 Offers (as defined below) and the “Expiration Date” for the Offers), the additional principal amounts of Notes set forth in the table below had been validly tendered and not withdrawn.

The settlement for any 6.500% Notes due 2018 and 6.750% Notes due 2018 (together, the “2018 Notes”) validly tendered and not withdrawn after the previously announced Early Tender Date and at or prior to the Expiration Date is expected to occur on Thursday, May 4, 2017, which is the Final Settlement Date for the Offers. Since the amended 2019 Offer Purchase Amount Cap was reached on the Early Settlement Date, no additional 5.720% Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) will be accepted for purchase on the Final Settlement Date.

The previously announced date for the expiration of withdrawal rights for the Offers has passed and has not been extended. Notes tendered pursuant to the Offers may no longer be withdrawn, except as required by law.

Holders who validly tendered and did not withdraw 2018 Notes by the extended Early Tender Date with respect to the 2018 Offers (11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 2, 2017) will be eligible to receive the previously announced Total Consideration.
