Alcan Rolled Products Spin Off Making Progress

Alcan continues to work towards the realization of the previously announced spin-off of its rolled products business with the same year-end completion target.

"This is a first-rate business," said Travis Engen, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Not surprisingly we have received unsolicited inquiries from a number of interested parties. Although some of these expressions of interest are being studied, Alcan remains committed to the spin-off as an outstanding value creation proposition for its shareholders," he said.

Filing of the preliminary regulatory disclosure documents describing the spin-off business is expected before the end of the month.
