On May 10, 2017, Alcoa Corporation (Alcoa or the Company) held its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the
Annual Meeting). At the Annual Meeting, Alcoas stockholders approved the Alcoa Corporation Annual Cash Incentive Compensation Plan (Amended and Restated as of May 10, 2017) (the Cash Incentive Plan), including the
material terms of the Cash Incentive Plan under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Section 162(m)).
The Cash Incentive Plan is designed to provide annual cash incentive compensation, including performance-based cash compensation that is fully
deductible by Alcoa for federal income tax purposes under Section 162(m), to Alcoas executives and other key employees. The Cash Incentive Plan was amended principally to (a) expand Alcoas ability to clawback or
recoup previously granted awards and require participants to acknowledge that they will cooperate with Alcoa in connection with the recoupment of such awards, (b) broaden the authority of the Compensation and Benefits Committee (the
Committee) of the Alcoa Board of Directors (the Board) to impose additional restrictions and adjust awards in connection with determining award payouts, unless not permitted by Section 162(m), and (c) make certain
other definitional, accounting, conforming and non-substantive changes. It is not possible to determine the specific amounts that may be awarded or payable under the Cash Incentive Plan after the Annual Meeting because the grant and payment of
awards are subject to the discretion of the Committee. The summary of the Cash Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Cash Incentive Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by
reference.
Also at the Annual Meeting, Alcoas stockholders approved the Alcoa Corporation 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (Amended and
Restated as of May 10, 2017) (the Equity Plan), including the material terms of the Equity Plan under Section 162(m).
The Equity Plan is a long-term incentive plan pursuant to which awards may be granted to directors, officers and other employees of Alcoa and
its subsidiaries, including option rights, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards, and other awards. The Equity Plan was amended principally to (a) preserve and extend Alcoas ability to
deduct qualified performance-based compensation granted to certain of its executive officers, without regard to the limitation imposed by Section 162(m), (b) increase the total number of shares authorized for issuance from
19,000,000 to 30,000,000, (c) include additional restrictions on share recycling to prohibit the adding back to the pool of shares under the Equity Plan those shares used in payment of the base price of stock appreciation rights
(SARs), (d) include a new minimum one-year vesting schedule for stock options and SARs, (e) prohibit the paying of dividends on stock options or SARs, (f) expand Alcoas ability to clawback or recoup
previously granted awards and require participants to acknowledge that they will cooperate with Alcoa in connection with the recoupment of such awards, (g) assign a modified ratio for counting usage of shares upon issuance of full-value awards
(restricted stock and restricted stock units) of 1.63 to one share for awards granted on and after the Annual Meeting, and (h) make certain other clarifying, conforming and non-substantive changes. It is not possible to determine specific
amounts and types of awards that may be granted under the Equity Plan after the Annual Meeting because the grant and payment of such awards will be subject to the discretion of the Committee. The summary of the Equity Plan is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the Equity Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
On May 9, 2017, the Board appointed Roy C. Harvey, Alcoas Chief Executive Officer, to the additional officer role of President of
Alcoa, effective immediately.
Mr. Harvey has served as Alcoas Chief Executive Officer since November 1, 2016.
Mr. Harvey served as Executive Vice President of Alcoa Inc. and President of Alcoa Inc.s Global Primary Products business from October 2015 to November 2016. From June 2014 to October 2015, he was Executive Vice President, Human Resources
and Environment, Health, Safety and Sustainability at Alcoa Inc. Prior to that, Mr. Harvey was Chief Operating Officer for Global Primary Products at Alcoa Inc. from July 2013 to June 2014, and was Chief Financial Officer for Global Primary
Products from December 2011 to July 2013. In addition to these roles, Mr. Harvey served as Director of Investor Relations of Alcoa Inc. from September 2010 to November 2011 and was Director of Corporate Treasury from January 2010 to September
2010. In addition, Mr. Harvey held a variety of operational and financial assignments across the U.S., Europe, and Latin America after joining Alcoa Inc. in 2002. There was no modification to Mr. Harveys compensatory arrangements
with Alcoa in connection with this additional officer appointment.
